About the Book
The discourse on Malays in Malaysia is shifting in the 21st century. In this book, Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, the youngest elected representative in the 8 March, 2008 General Elections argues that Malays must move forward to survive and succeed in facing today’s challenges: the emerging new politics, forging a people’s economy, resolving the education question, the unravelling of the social fabric and the position of Islam in a multiracial society. While race will remain important as an identity, Moving Forward challenges the basis of the racial zero sum-game, as ultimately, the future of the Malays cannot be separated from that of Malaysians in general. “Malays need to wake up from the siege mentality of seeing everyone conspiring to keep them backwards. Similarly, the non-Malays need to stop seeing genuine moves to advance the national cause and national identity as insidious plots to destroy their cultural identities. It is attitudes like these that have constantly kept our people apart.”

Synopsis: ‘A video about the election of Julia Gillard as the first female Prime Minister and how it was received by the public. We felt that it was not given enough recognition as the historic moment it should have been, and we explore this in a series of interviews with experts and the general public.'

Dorchester Hotel, Park Lane, Mayfair, London
Quite a few shots ago now we talked about the Ritz. Well, I'll see your Ritz and raise you an equally famous hotel, the Dorchester. Built in 1931 and retaining 1930s ambience, it has been home to the rich and famous over the years. Poet Cecil Day-Lewis, novelist Somerset Maugham... writing must've actually paid a hell of a lot better in those days than it does these days. There are some rich writers around, but most of them made their dough over 20 years ago. These days Amazon has so debased the value of writing that every day I get offers to buy a dozen novels for less than a buck. If I thought that I could support myself in a style that would set me up in a place like the Dorchester through my writing I'd drop my current gig in a heartbeat.
So how much is it? Remember how I said that the rooms at the Ritz start at a little bit over $1000 Australian per night? Well, at most booking sites you won't get change from AU$1500 per night here. Though that said, looking through the site of the hotel itself just tossed up a deluxe Queen room for £505 per night which would translate to about AU$955. Though honestly, the rooms are no better (other than the exclusiveness of the address) than those that you would get for several hundred dollars less at an Australian Hyatt.
Apparently the hotel was home to Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor at times as well, though that's of less interest to me than the fact that Robert Vaughan stayed here while he was filming the early 70s series The Protectors. "How the hell can you possibly know that?", I hear you ask. Until a couple of days ago I didn't; just by sheer coincidence on You Tube I came across a video of him talking about that time, and how he was put up in that hotel by Lord Lew Grade who met him at the entrance and took his bags.
Would I like to stay in the same hotel as The Man from UNCLE, who is sadly no longer with us? You betcha. Would I pay $1500 Australian a night for it? My currently non-existent writing career (outside of photo captions such as this one) would need to take off like a Saturn V and I would need to have money to burn.
The other thing to note about the Dorchester is that there is always an eclectic collection of high value luxury sports cars out the front which you may or may not be able to see in this shot when it's reduced in size. Nonetheless, they are there.
I'll also mention in passing that the sculpture that you can see in the park separating the two lanes of Park Lane is "Moving Forward" by Jill Berelowitz.
we learn we have to choose paths and the hard part is realizing we can seldom go back the path we originally travelled. the roads have always changed, new maps are being made and we're not getting any younger, after all.
but we must remember there are paths we've never came across in cities we've never heard of, waiting for our footsteps. we must keep moving forward to live such a life where when we die, we're the ones smiling and rejoicing and everyone around us is crying and not understanding why.

Today marked the 1month anniversary of the tornado that ripped thru Moore. Please continue to pray, donate, and help.
A water pipeline in the conflict-affected mining village of Druzhba in eastern Ukraine. In 2014, the contact line, which divides government and non-government-controlled areas, was drawn in this woodland. The protracted conflict is a threat to the way of life of the village inhabitants whose homes are occasionally damaged by stray shells and mines.
