It examines the reasons for the decline in the agricultural sector with an emphasis on food security. It discusses Malaysia?s economic growth and structural change compared to some of the Northeast East Asian and Southeast Asian countries. It explains the projections of population and demographic change and its bearing on government policies. It evaluates the country?s education sector and discusses the strategies to improve its role in the country further.
