World Refugees Day on June 20 was for all practical purposes a non-event in Malaysia. There were no events to mark it, no speech from national leaders, and the local media seems to have missed it or ignored it. Malaysia’s stance towards refugees is difficult to understand. It seems to be swinging like a pendulum.

Malaysia needs new blood as the Leadership of the country. The country should be willing to take the risk of a new leadership rather than believing that the old leadership would be able to make changes to the country. The old leaderships are not willing to take the risk that would jeopardizes their position and interest. It is very timely for Malaysia to develop a ‘Succession Planning’ of the country leadership. NOW is the right time when Malaysia is facing with the ‘Leadership Crisis’. We are not short of young leaders, but we need to give them the opportunity to rise to the occasion. We need them to challenge and be challenged.

Now we know that the Malaysian MCO will last until the 28th of March, and we have to wait at least for two more weeks before we know whether it will be ended then, or it will be extended further by (presumably) another two weeks. The process could repeat itself for some distant time in the future, or it could be ended as rapid as it started.

During the time of crisis, many smart people try to promote themselves as predictors of future events. Unfortunately, we view that most are “speculators” rather than “smart predictors”

Assuming that MCO will not last forever, the question is at our personal level or community level, what should be our guide of how to continue our life and works? The purpose of this article is to provide some benchmark which might be useful for us to use as a guide.‍
