Once a recipient, Malaysia to volunteer to serve others

Article Abstract:

Malaysia is creating its own Peace Corps called Yayasan Salam Malaysia. The move is inspired by the spirit of volunteerism demonstrated by the hundreds of young Americans sent to Malaysia during the 1960's under President Kennedy's Peace Corps program. Yayasan Salam Malaysia will be headed by Malaysian Finance Minister Datuk Anwar, a former Peace Corps student, and is intended to flourish within and outside of Malaysia.

Hong Kong is no example for Taiwan

Article Abstract:

Taiwan may be far from following Hong Kong's reunification with China even if the 'one country, two systems' agreement between the two works out. Currently, about 85% of Taiwan's 21.3 mil population want no changes to the country's political system. Taiwan is interested in the reunification because of hopes to continue making investments to China through Hong Kong.
