Justice for all: Malaysian NGO protests 'unjust' global system

Article Abstract:

A British member of parliament assailed the government's foreign policy by referring to a book published by the Just World Trust which criticizes the global system as unfair to a majority of people. Other officials and intelligentsia around the world are likewise influenced by the Just World Trust. The organization operates from Malaysia and sets up chapters in the West, and provides a new approach to relate concerns about global domination. The global system has been dominated by large corporations and has left out most people who should have a voice in the world's future.

Something different

Article Abstract:

Malaysians made wealthy by the surging economy of the past eight years prefer to put most of their money into stocks and property. Some have speculated in development, gambling that particular areas would win favor with businesses or the government. Others turn to the stockmarket and invest for the long haul, seeking to ride up with the companies owned by the millionaires of today and tomorrow.
