Researcher/Journalist Aziff Azuddin – Malay Youths Can Co-Exist With Chinese, But Islam Must Reign
The Malay youth were pivotal in Malaysia’s last elections and will only grow in importance in the future thanks to the current state of demographics. Yet do we really know how they think? What drives them, keeps them awake at night, inspires them?
Aziff’s research is a good start in dismantling the silos that Malaysian society has fallen into, a state that has been amplified on and preyed upon by corrupt politicians.
