Leading the Nation: Strategic Leadership as an element of National Power: Towards a greater and better Malaysia.

I am deeply honoured to be invited to address the Fifth Cohort of the National Resilience College. The NRC is designed to provide courses for a select group of senior officers of Brigadier General and Colonel in rank or equivalent with the aim of broadening their horizons, prompting them to think and act like statesmen.

This is my fifth engagement with the College. I first addressed the Inaugural Cohort in September 2019 when I was Deputy Defence Minister. During one of the Covid-19 lockdowns, I was again invited to address the Second Cohort in January 2021, even when I was in the Opposition. I addressed the Fourth Cohort and an Executive Short Course in September and October 2023, respectively.

This time I spoke on the topic of “Leading the Nation: Strategic Leadership as an element of National Power: Towards a greater and better Malaysia.”
