		<description><![CDATA[In this new book, Suflan Shamsuddin asserts that Malaysia is ill, and that unless her citizens can agree on her ailment, she cannot be cured. To agree on a diagnosis, a common view as to how all her people fit into her social fabric and how they relate to one another is needed. In the book’s early chapters, he ignores the proclaimed taboos around discussing the social contract’s more controversial elements in order to distill a common view on its meaning and intent that all Malaysians can share. He then uses this viewpoint to diagnose the country’s political funk, and to propose a new democratic landscape with which to “reset” the country’s political bearings.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=resetbook.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4050495&amp;post=65&amp;subd=resetbook&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
