Between God and Mammon; in Malaysia, Muslims are learning to live in the modern world - and many like it

Article Abstract:

More than 30 years of rapid economic growth have forced Malaysia's Muslims to confront the modern world. The rise in urban consumer mentality has fueled a revival of interest in Islamic culture among many Malays. A large number of Malaysians see changes brought about by the economic boom as a threat to their religion while others view it as evidence that Islam can withstand modern society and flourish. The government of Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad espouses a more tolerant and secular vision of Islam than does more fundamentalist elements in the country.

Freedom of expression

Article Abstract:

Prominent Hong Kong architect Tao Ho attributes his successful return to art after a three-decade hiatus to his very lack of technical training, saying it gives him freedom to experiment. His paintings and sculptures were recently exhibited at the Hong Kong University Museum, a display of pen-and- ink drawings, lithographs, acryclic paintings, and sculptures in several media, from both the past few years and the late 1950s, when he studied art history at Williams College and architecture at Harvard, both in MA.
