Our passion has been to rally responsible individuals around a vision we can all truly agree upon, believe in and call our own. We call that vision “DREAM Malaysia” and hope to fulfil it by the year 2020.

What is DREAM Malaysia? It is the vision of a transformed nation that will promote peace, prosperity, partnership and power to the people of Malaysia. In a nutshell, it’s about our future. What would it look like? What do we want it to look like? Simply put, DREAM Malaysia is a vision for a better tomorrow – a better Malaysia – for all of us. And it all begins with the power of responsible choice.

The first question DREAM Malaysia asks of us is, “What kind of country do we want to see by the year 2020?” Could it include thoughts like

Impossible you say?! I don't blame you. Behind every 'dream come true' is someone who said "it couldn't be done". And what dream would it be in the first place if it was ever done before.

The second and equally important question that DREAM Malaysia must ask of us is, “ What must WE do to see this dream accomplished?” Before WE can truly see a “transformed Malaysia”, WE must see a reformed or “repented" Malaysia. But what does this mean?

The word reform means, to change from the inside. The word “repent” is originally meant to show a state of mind ie “to think differently”. It means that if true change were to take place in a person’s life, it has to begin with a change in the way that person thinks (also commonly referred to as a change in mindsets, mentality or attitudes).



1. Let's focus on Building Tomorrow's Leaders Today
2 By Example (role modelling) - don't tell them to do what we ourselves aren't willing
3.

With the aim of challenging:
• Attitudes that will lead to responsible
• Actions that will bring about
• Added value to our neighbours and to the nation as a whole

4. Through creative, thought provoking and strategic
• Campaigns that will lead to the instilling of strong
• Convictions that will bring about real and lasting
• Change
5.

Starting with the Rukun Negara:

KEPERCAYAAN KEPADA TUHAN
KESETIAAN KEPADA RAJA DAN NEGARA
KELUHURAN PERLEMBAGAAN
KEDAULATAN UNDANG-UNDANG
KESOPANAN DAN KESUSILAAN

DREAM Malaysia therefore begins with us – each and every responsible individual. Did YOU know that YOU could make a difference? The power of change is in our hands (and heads) and when each of us start to make a conscious decision to change, Malaysia will change with us. DREAM Malaysia is a Malaysian responsibility – yours and mine – and together WE can make THE difference.

DREAM Malaysia is about the emerging generation of this nation - our future. We would really like to hear what you have to say. It is vital that WE begin to detail and formulate what DREAM Malaysia is really going to look like and how it is going to get done. With this in mind I would like to start by opening up a (cyber or otherwise) dialogue with leaders and youth alike hoping that this will further lead to the building of strong and strategic friendships, networks and partnerships all across this nation and beyond for the sake of the vision.

Looking forward to your contribution and comradeship!
