We live in an era of escalating problems and crises. With the Greenhouse effect and resource depletion, the survival of the earth itself is at stake. For the past two decades — before ecology became popular — CAP President S.M. Mohamed ldris has been raising a wide range of issues that are now recognised as the critical problems of our age. This book brings together the many strands of his ideas on daily living (food, health, transport, culture); national affairs (politics, economics, national unity); environment, development and survival. With insight into the roots of the various crises, the author puts forward alternatives and visions for future patterns of living and national development — which are in harmony with nature, human needs and spiritual values. This book is both a commentary on Malaysian social life and an argument for urgent changes towards a sane and greener world.
