This interview with YB Liew Chin Tong, outgoing executive director of Penang Institute and Member of Parliament for Bukit Bendera, discusses his understanding of the tasks think tanks need to adopt in the 21st century.

The latter has left governance in Malaysia in a sad state, run according to knee-jerk reactions and for populist appeal.

To all Malaysians who created the GE14 miracle, keep fighting. We will be back stronger.
