Pls study how the people could enjoy the prosperity because of farsight and open minds. The IDR with Singaporean might not necessarily deprive us of our legacy. If we are concerned, are we implying that we are less competitive than Singaporeans ? <BR/><BR/>The key points here are to train up all our citizens, make everyone competitive in the global economy by learning the basics. Despatching two astraunauts in Russia spaceship would not help much, especially when our universities are still behaving like a 3rd world country academy. We do not want ā€¯Jaguh Kampung"..When we are strong, we should be able to protect our territory in this global economy. Then, we should have more Petronas, Maxis and other big names to be proud of, in IDR and many other places in Malaysia.<BR/><BR/>The withholding of equity only makes sense when there are fruits of business success. Else, one will just be building up "castles in the air".<BR/> <BR/>Dear Malaysians, be more down to earth. The key here is "Education, Education, Education...". This is how Ireland, Finland and other countries (India, China and etc)focus on.<BR/><BR/>You should have no more fear when you are truly strong (as objectively perceived by all others in the global village).<BR/><BR/>I love this country.

Which, incidentally reminds of a Story.....<BR/><BR/>Once a Tiger cub strayed away and ventured into a herd of Elephants. Unfortunately, the cub being small and all, was trampled in a stampede. Soon after a Jackal found the body of cub and immediately informed the parents.<BR/><BR/>"I have terrible news. Your son is lying dead in the field." the Jackal said.<BR/><BR/>"How did it happen? Who did this? I will never rest until I have my revenge!" roared the father Tiger.<BR/><BR/>"The Elephants did it." answered the Jackal. Quite startled by the Jackal's reply, the Tiger paced back and forth for a few minutes, growling and shaking his head.<BR/><BR/>"No! you are wrong," the Tiger said at last. "It was the Goats who murdered my Boy!"<BR/><BR/>And, at once the Tiger bounded down the hill and sprang upon a herd of Goats gazing in the valley below, and in a violent rage killed as many as he could in revenge.<BR/><BR/>(Freely adapted from a retelling by William J.

If we allow emotion to get in our way, we will again be doomed to see mediocrity in its implementation. We should examine critically and strategically how Singapore can play a meaningful role symbiotically rather than let eomtion rule the day.<BR/><BR/>Having said that, let me qualify that I have no love for Singapore and Harry Lee but facts are facts and if we allow some of the politicians to bring emotion into such an ambitious project, we will live to regret this.<BR/><BR/>With our level of strength in our police and the poor salaries they earn, coupled with the lax implementation of laws, I wonder how crime can be brought to a manageable level. I believe Johor Baru has a very high level of crime rate at the moment and a sharp reduction will certainly boost our confidence in the potential of the law to deal with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708423.post-1162688659391598902006-11-05T09:04:00.000+08:002006-11-05T09:04:00.000+08:00Kami org Johor tuntut UMNO Johor yang sedang menga...Kami org Johor tuntut UMNO Johor yang sedang mengadakan Konvensyen pada hari Ahad dan Isnin ini supaya menyokong tuntutan DYMM Tuanku Sultan Johor untuk merobohkan Tambak Johor yang merupakan legasi penipuan penjajah terhadap negeri Johor. <BR/><BR/>Kami juga tidak setuju dengan rancangan K(haz)ianat untuk SJER mengadakan Free Access Zone, pihak berkuasa otonomi SJER, memberi keutamaan kepada pelabohan & lapangan terbang singapura, dan menjadikan JB bandar satelit & tempat berhibur untuk Singapura. <BR/><BR/>Daulat Tuanku! <BR/>Daulat Tuanku! <BR/>Daulat Tuanku!A Voicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01780035743502972342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708423.post-1162662247018930652006-11-05T01:44:00.000+08:002006-11-05T01:44:00.000+08:00I believe tis eco zon eis created to benefit the U...I believe tis eco zon eis created to benefit the UMNO puteras only and not the non-pro UMNO sudahtua'sAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708423.post-1162650973518425062006-11-04T22:36:00.000+08:002006-11-04T22:36:00.000+08:00I have yet to figure out how this thing is going t...I have yet to figure out how this thing is going to work.
