In exactly 35 years, Malaysia will celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Merdeka, the date of its Independence as the Federation of Malaya. It is a fitting point to anticipate what Malaysia will look like by that date and in particular what Kuala Lumpur will indeed look like.

This event kicks off the Foresight Series organised by the Malaysian FIRST Foundation. This will be an annual series for the “Future of Malaysia Forum” organised in conjunction each year with the Merdeka/Malaysia Day celebrations and its objective will be to anticipate, deliberate, discuss and look towards the future of the Malaysian nation in all aspects and dimensions.
