I'm sure it was a load of propaganda. After all, some of the bigger Malaysian fish around Australia attended. How can they not tell us to do patriotic stuff?
In any case I think the Malaysian students here are very optimistic. A poll conducted before the start of the forum showed 63% of the attendees thought that Malaysia still had a bright future. At the end of the forum, the same poll showed that 69% thought the country had a bright future. I'm sure it does. However, based on the way the present government is handling things, I'm astounded that bright young minds still think there's something waiting for them back in Malaysia. I'm really, really amazed at their optimism. The way things are going, I'm not surprised that at least 30% of the audience still believe that things aren't all rosy as they seem.
On to the forum itself. I still feel that the Q&A session should either be longer, or that a different approach be used. There's no point in only having roughly 10% of the audience getting their questions voiced out while the other 90% sit and suffer.
