Yasseef,
Yes. The round table conference will take place on Nov 10th, 2008 at Concorde Shah Alam. The conference is organised by the Faculty of Communication & Media Studies UiTM. I will be one of the participants. The format is quite simple & straight forward: every participant/thinker will pen in their thoughts on the issues to be deliberated. Each of them will come up with an article. All articles - written by 40 participants - will be put in booklet form.
Generally, participants are expected to discuss issues pertaining to this basic question:
"Are the basic structural features of democratic Malaysia weakening?"
Let me know if you are interested to attend the conference. Alternatively, you can let the Centre (Centre of Media & Information Warfare Studies, Faculty of Communication & Media Studies, UiTM Shah Alam) know if you are interested to come and listen - out of your academic endeavour. The Centre can be contacted by calling Munis Paran (Senior Fellow) 03-55225568; 03-55225325; 03-55225327/5328.
