Youth are the hope and future of a nation. As future leaders, they need to be well educated to keep pace with the rapid technological changes taking place in the world while preserving the good values of society. Recognising the importance of education in leadership preparation, the eleventh Perdana Discourse Series was held on 30th June 2010, with the theme, The Role of Education in Leadership Development.

The keynote address was delivered by His Excellency Tan Sri Muhyiddin Hj Mohd Yassin, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education, who spoke on how to create knowledgeable and wise leaders of tomorrow through education. The keynote address is included in its entirety, as is the question and answer session that followed.

The discourse further continued in a panel session where eminent panellists Tun Arshad Ayob, Dato Freida Mohd Pilus, and Professor Dato Dr Ahmad Murad Noor Merican, presented their views on education and leadership and answered questions on learning from members of the audience. The edited transcripts of both the panel and Q&A sessions are contained within this book, making this volume a good reference to the views and opinions of Malaysian leaders in government and academia.
