Dear Sir,
I read your article today with interest.

First,i would summarise that you started off with Da Vinci,then how technology can help governments,who leads the world today,modernisation and finally
productivity.

Your wise conclusion are to open our minds to see tomorrow today.It only takes a small adjustment.I agree but partially.

That said,i would say the future is characterised by electronic societies living in a borderless globalised world.While governing them was once defined
as the authority to politically,economic and administratively manage our nations affairs,the new world is also now govern by electronic financial markets.
1998 showed us that fund can come in and buy our shares and in the next 3months,sell all the shares and collapsed our market and impoverish our
people.Politically,Anwar was sack,beaten,jailed and humiliated and till today,he is effectively fighting back.

Government must realise the speed of shares and currency transactions are 'subseconds' and cross border.In trading,you ACT first and THINK later.
Policies must be accurate and when you open up the broking industry to foreigners,they do not bring much volume to the market other than buy up
our stockbroking firm.As a result capital markets in Malaysia is quiet.

Next is the NGOs.They are the 'minority' but democracy is voice of majority.However,these organisation are electronically globally wired and is today
indispensible.SUARAM and BERSIH demond=strated to us that our government is insulated in the old world.They only care about Mokhzani and Shahril's
company merging and arranged by Najib's brother to the tune of rgt12billion.This is achieved because they got all the good Petronas welding and installation
job and ask foreign contractor to do it.

People today are more concern about food(expensive chicken at rgt8.50 per kg!),water(free in Selangor!),energy(stop giving billionaires subsidies in the
billions from OUR Petronas and get TNB to increase our bills!!),health(PM wanted to privatise IJN once!),education(I once know if i do well,i go to local
boaring school,and if do well in 'o' levels,get to become doctors,engineers and lawyers).

And heres the real issue..the myopic,parochial,arrogant BN practices governing imposing rakyat's tomorrow's mind,YESTERDAY.

I m proud that you have tomorrow mind today.

Salam,
Jo Taharin.

Bayi,

I will convey your message to her.

zmas,

You can get it online.

johan5150,

You probably is commenting on my other article.

You are right on the global economy and the risks associated.

Just a Phrase: Today's problem was yesterday's solution; and tomorrow's problem is today's action and decision.
