The author examines long-term and short-term solutions and the execution and alignment of these strategies to deliver what Malaysians want to move forward and rise from past mistakes. He even tackles thorny subjects like the unintended consequences of the NEP and suggests a new implementation approach for a Bumiputra economic model.

“Learning from past mistakes, we must improve our planning and, more importantly, our implementation, committing ourselves to a long-term timeline for success with no shortcuts. This requires a critical self-evaluation; the fault may not lie in the stars but within us” – pg xvi

Despite the critical and frank point of view, the author is optimistic that Malaysia will be able to reprogramme and achieve its goal to become not just an economically resilient and dynamic nation but most importantly, for Malaysia to become a nation that has achieved ‘ kesejahteraan’ for all Malaysians
