Corporate Panel II | Antara Angka & Atma: The Human Pulse Of A High-Income Nation

What does it truly mean for Malaysia to become a high-income nation?

Beyond Gross National Income (GNI), economic milestones, and national ambitions lies a more fundamental question: has economic growth translated into better lives for all Malaysians?

This session explores the relationship between policy ambition and lived reality, examining whether the pursuit of prosperity has been matched by meaningful improvements across different communities, income groups, and regions.

Join our distinguished panel as they unpack the promises, limitations, and future of Malaysia’s economic vision, asking whether progress is measured solely by the numbers we achieve—or by the experiences of the people those numbers are meant to represent.

Presidential Dialogue | Kain Sehelai, Benang Beragam: Beyond Binary Thinking

What does it mean to be Malaysian in a society that defies simple labels? 🇲🇾

From identity and belonging to citizenship, ethnicity, and political narratives, this session challenges us to move beyond rigid binaries and reflect on the many threads that shape Malaysia’s lived reality. Rather than seeking definitive answers, the discussion invites meaningful dialogue on how our collective identity continues to evolve across generations, institutions, and communities.

Join us for a conversation that asks not only who we are, but how we become.

Register now via the QR code and be part of the conversation. We look forward to seeing you there!
