Just finished doing some training for a corporation over these past 2 days. One of the things that is becoming very clear is that Malaysia has already become a nation with a multitude of mindsets, fostering a multitude of cultures. And the western mindset among Malaysians is fast becoming a rarity.
This session that I did contained NOT A SINGLE PERSON I could classify as a person with a western orientation. They had grown up not being exposed to western literature, or western frames of thinking and operating. Whilst I am not particularly fond of the excesses of western liberalism, I am for the elements of western thought which have their origins from a Judeo-Christian orientation.
Samuel Huntington was certainly not very far away when he wrote about the "clash of civilizations"!
