The Potential Of Malaysia’s Soft Power

Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil spoke about the potential of our country’s soft power, referring to the '90s as the golden era of Malaysia's economy, arts and culture, keeping us culturally bound as a country. So we look into how exactly soft power can contribute to our happiness, and the economy. And then - what soft power do we have to export right now?
