Memacu Transformasi
Dato’ Saifuddin Abdullah menganggap Program Transformasi Nasional pimpinan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Abdul Razak, adalah pendekatan perubahan yang terbaik buat Malaysia. Menurutnya, transformasi tersebut ialah satu proses ‘dynamic stabilism’ yang bersesuaian dengan warisan, wajah dan wawasan kita. Ia komprehensif dari segi bidang, penggubalan, pelaksanaan dan penilaiannya. Malah, ia lebih komprehensif daripada inisiatif-inisiatif hampir sama di negara-negara maju. Ia telah membuahkan hasil-hasil positif dan perlu dipacu bersama. Sebagai ahli politik yang progresif, Saifuddin membahaskan transformasi ini melalui kolumnya di akhbar Sinar Harian. Buku ini merupakan kompilasi 50 rencana tersebut yang meliputi aspek pendidikan, belia dan mahasiswa, realiti dan politik baru, UMNO/BN, PRU13 dan ekonomi. Ia ditulis dengan artikulatif dan kritikal sambil mengekalkan ciri-ciri kesederhanaan. Ia wajar menjadi bacaan dan rujukan aktivis dan penganalis isu-isu kontemporari Malaysia.

The Real Cry of Syed Shaykh al-Hady
Syed Shaikh al-Hady lived in a period where the hegemonic position of Traditionalist Islam in the Malay-Muslim society was challenged by modernization. The traditionalist ulama’ perceived modernity as an ideological enemy; but on the other hand Syed Shaikh al-Hady worked and preached for a synthesis between the two. He believed that Islam and modernization are not antagonistic to each other. Instead, both are useful combination to revive the rational and scientific approach within the Islamic discourse hence making it very attractive to the younger generation of his time. And even until today, Syed Shaykh al-Hady remains as an inspiring figure and an icon for the various contemporary Islamic reformist movements that have resumed the work of islah (reform) and tajdid (renewal) for the betterment of the Muslim society.
