the next malaysian mythology

Hsu Chuang Khoo did an interview with Shahril Hamdan that indicated, this chap is future prime minister material. :) The key talking point was the absence of a unifying political mythology. On "unifying values" - it can't be 

• (a) religion 
• (b) race 
• (c) economic class; 

so my view has been, it should be 

• (d) legalistic ... it has to come back to a focus on civics, based on an understanding how how the law works, introduced to children from primary school, and put into practical gamification until they are 15, like running a mock country; afterwhich the education system should allow the "trained cititzen" to turn their focus to industrial specialisation.

• (e) food : nope, see (a)
• (f) STEM : nope, Malaysia is where STEM goes to die ... you can't fix this before the national unity problem
• (g) art and design : nope, see (a, f) ... maybe ... change my mind?
• (h) commerce, entrepreneurship, business : nope, see (b) but you can save it if you fix (d)
