...life in his one-horse Texas home town. Ordered to re-up, he deserts, despite the fact that his best pal (Channing Tatum) is determined to return him to duty. Brandon, chastely accompanied by Michelle (Abbie Cornish), embarks on a cross-country trip, which begins with him seeking official redress of his grievance and eventually puts him in touch with other victims of the war. In the end, it is fair to say that there is no stopping his losses. Every choice he is presented with is a hopeless...

During colonial times, Chinese traders were favored by the ruling British, and they controlled much of the economy upon independence. Malays and indigenous peoples - collectively known as bumiputras, or "sons of the soil" - wanted to redress that economic imbalance. The NEP, which offers preferential treatment to bumiputras in everything from education to politics, has lifted millions of Malays into the middle class. But some analysts argue that the NEP has outlived its usefulness and has been hijacked by a Malay ruling élite that uses...
