Malaysia is a great country with a diverse population. It might not be the perfect or best country in the world, but definitely the best in the Muslim world. Malaysia has been a role-model for many countries in the world embroiled in racism, sectarian violence, terrorism, class and caste systems. In my observation, I have found out that Muslims in Malaysia have the highest level of tolerance in living side by side with other religious groups. Researchers from South Africa, Australia, and America come over to Malaysia to conduct research on how race integration works in the country. Particularly, they are interested in learning the secret recipe so that it can be applied in their own homeland. Though the vast majority of the people are Malay, they have accepted the fact that the other ethnic groups that came along with the coming of the British to Malaya (now Malaysia) have become part and parcel of the Malaysian society. It is a beautiful country with sunshine and sandy beaches mainly in the East coast of the peninsula. Here in Malaysia, we only have two seasons, either it rains or shines.

This document provides background context on Malaysia's cultural landscape and advertising regulations. It discusses Malaysia's multiethnic population and the role of different languages. It also notes the active role of the Malaysian government in business and development. The government places stringent controls on advertising content to ensure compatibility with social and moral norms and to prevent racial tension. Advertisements are expected to promote both social and economic objectives by conveying secondary messages around discipline, cleanliness, and national identity.
Mahathir Mohamad was born in 1925 in northern Malaysia. He entered politics in 1945 and became a member of parliament in 1964. He held several ministerial positions before becoming Prime Minister of Malaysia in 1981, a role he held for 22 years. As Prime Minister, Mahathir industrialized Malaysia's economy, made it an investment hub, and created Vision 2020 to make it a developed nation by 2020. He resisted International Monetary Fund aid during the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis and implemented Malaysia's own recovery formula.
The document discusses the concepts and policies of multiculturalism in Canada, Malaysia, and Singapore. It provides background on how multiculturalism was introduced in Canada in 1965 and formalized as policy in 1971 to protect diversity and official languages. Malaysia's 1988 Multiculturalism Act similarly recognizes the country's multicultural heritage and protects minority rights. However, Malaysia has also used ethnic differences to divide groups. Singapore promotes multiculturalism through principles of having different ethnic groups unite as one people while maintaining cultural heritage, secularism, meritocracy, and protecting minority rights.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

Mahathir Mohamad’s Vision 2020 and Malaysia’s Nation Building
Malaysia is a federal constituonal monarchy state with multi-ethnicity, which plays
large role in politics. The three most significant and biggest ethnicities are the Malay,
Chinese, and Indian. There was a significant immigration from China in the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries, where the Chinese immigrants contributed to the trading sector and the
opening and development of tin mining. But their control was later diluted by British
colonialists with access to superior technologies and greater capital. Under the British, a large
number of workers were imported from India as well, laying the foundations for the
multiethnic society.1
A resurgent Malay Nationalism was born during the post-war period2 and with it, born
the social contract – social compact or bargain reached by the three communities under the
watchful eye of the British imperial power as a condition to Merdeka was that in exchange
for full citizenship, a right to use their language and observe their religion, the non-Malays
had to concede special privileges to the Malays to assist the latter to ascend the economic
ladder.3 This social contract then formed the basis of nationhood in which the non-Malays
were asked to have an undivided loyalty toward the new nation, with no allegiance to their
mother country: India or China.
Under this social contract, the Malay has a right to control the political system and
thus will be the most influental ethnic in the course of political economy of development in
Malaysia. One of the most intriguing cases happened during the time of Mahathir Mohamad,
the fourth Prime Minister of Malaysia. During his time of power, Mahathir presented Vision
2020 to the Malaysian Business Council in 1991. Originally titled, “The Way Forward”, the
vision document articulated Malaysia’s goals to become a fully developed nation by the year
2020; a nation developed not only in the economic sense, but also in terms of social justice,
political stability, system of government, quality of life, social and spiritual values, national

2. pride and confidence. It envisions Malaysia to achieve an industrialized and fully developed
nation status by sustaining growth at 7% per annum and initiating structural changes in the
economy as well as within the manufacturing sectors.4
In order to achieve the goals of a fully developed Malaysia, there are nine central
strategic challenges that the government and society have to overcome. Those challenges are
written below:
1.
Establishing a united Malaysian nation with a sense of common and shared destiny.
2.
Creating a psychologically liberated, secure, and developed Malaysian Society with
faith and confidence in itself, justifiably proud of what it is, of what it has
accomplished, robust enough to face all manner of adversity.
3.
Fostering and developing a mature democratic society, practising a form of mature
consensual, community-oriented Malaysian democracy that can be a model for many
developing countries.
4.
Establishing a fully moral and ethical society, whose citizens are strong in religious
and spiritual values and imbued with the highest of ethical standards.
5.
Establishing a matured,liberal and tolerant society in which Malaysians of all colours
and creeds are free to practise and profess their customs,cultures and religious beliefs
and yet feeling that they belong to one nation.
6.
Establishing a scientific and progressive society, a society that is innovative and
forward-looking, one that is not only a consumer of technology but also a contributor
to the scientific and technological civilisation of the future.
7.
Establishing a fully caring society and a caring culture, a social system in which
society will come before self, in which the welfare of the people will revolve not
around the state or the individual but around a strong and resilient family system.
8.
Ensuring an economically just society.
9.
Establishing a prosperous society, with an economy that is fully competitive,
dynamic, robust and resilient.5

racial imbalance in a more overt fashion through various initiatives geared to
entrepreneurship, managerial expertise and skills development within the Malay community.6
The NDP achieved success in one of its main aims, poverty reduction. By 1995, less than
nine per cent of Malaysians lived in poverty and income inequality had narrowed.7
