| By: Santhia A/P Rajandran 2O13-121515 Topic: Ministry Of Foreign Affairs One significant phenomenon that will impact strongly on Malaysia's foreign policy as we move forward is globalisation. Our greatest challenge would be to extract the best from the process of globalisation and to give our best to the system. And in return to contribute towards making the world a much more peaceful and equitable place to live in, to provide leadership within our region and to demonstrate exemplary and responsible membership of the international community.  | |
On
the political front, we see the end of the cold war. Yet the world
today is no safer than we had been led to believe. The so-called
friendly global village has not come about. Old conflicts either refuse
to die or simply have a way of coming out of their graves to haunt us.
In the meantime, new conflicts, at times much bloodier and brutal than
the old ones, continue to emerge and rage or remain unresolved. Added to
this, two other issues of great concern also remain, namely:

The
economic dimension of globalisation has been even more disappointing.
The financial crisis that descended upon East Asia in 1997 brought about
not only social misery and economic disaster but political instability
as well. Massive Unemployment, negative growth, stock market crashes and
severe currency devaluation have pulled down millions of people below
the poverty lines. And now, we are anxiously watching the effects of the
possible economic meltdown following the global financial crisis.

Malaysia's
activism at the international front has of course attracted attention
and reaction from various quarters. Until recently, Malaysia had been
the target for criticism for being "too vocal". But this is something
that we need to take in our own stride if Malaysia is to be proactive at
the global level.

ReplyDeleteYes i agree with your article on globalization because it is a common issue in Malaysia currently. Globalization also seen from social view. The social dimension of globalization refers to the impact of globalization on the life and work of people, their families and their societies. Concerns and issues are often raised about the impact of globalization on employment, working conditions, income and social protection. Beyond the world of work, the social dimension encompasses security, culture and identity, inclusion or exclusion and the cohesiveness of families and communities.
