Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs

The Malaysia Think Tank (MTT) is an independent, cross-partisan organisation driven by
libertarian ideas, supporting the principles of free individuals, free markets, limited
government, and the rule of law. Our mission is to encourage the adoption of classical
liberal ideas in Malaysia by:

• Publishing relevant materials and hosting events to promote them
• Commissioning new research articles by thinkers with fresh perspectives
• Organising lectures and seminars to enable frank discussion with policymakers, academics, leading figures in civil society, the business community and other professionals
• Producing policy proposals underpinned by research to directly tackle issues of public concern
• Providing a platform where Malaysians of all ethnic and religious backgrounds can advance the ideals of liberty and justice espoused in the Proclamation of Independence and Federal Constitution
