Hi guys

Listen to these FUTURIST WORDS AGAIN

The government said Dr Mahathir is leaving no stone unturned in re-engineering the economy.

“For the observers, it would seem that nothing is moving. Rome was not built in one day. When Malaysia was switching from an agro-based economy to an industrial economy, it also took time.

“But most of us could not remember and the young never saw the transition. Most were born when the transition was accomplished. It is difficult to imagine an agricultural Malaysia today.”

The same will happen now. The transition will take time — perhaps two years or more from now.

“But believe me it will happen. Indeed in some ways, it is already happening. We are going paperless and soon there will be cashless. Digitalisation is already happening and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is contributing towards increasing speed of work and transaction.”

Dr Mahathir said it is frustrating to wait, even for him.

“But wait we must. The machinery of Government has been cleansed and is rapidly adapting to the new ways of working. Even the Ministers are adjusting to being in the Government instead of the opposition.”

Calvin comments:

Yesss!

Malaysia was an agricultural economy with Palm Oil & Rubber as the Main Focus for over a hundred years. Exporting Rubber sheets was the norm until Malaysia transited into an INDUSTRIAL ECONOMY

To add VALUE to rubber Malaysia went into RUBBER GLOVES MANUFACTURING IN BIG WAY

TOPGLOVE, HARTALEGA, KOSSAN & SUPERMAX FACTORIES SPRUNG UP IN SELANGOR. TODAY SELAGOR HAS THE HIGHEST PER CAPITA INCOME IN MALAYSIA

As people got better paying jobs the surrounding Real Estate Increased in Value.

MALAYSIA also went Into Rubber Wood as well as Hard Tropical Wood Manufacture of FURNITURE FOR EXPORTS WORLDWIDE. This lifts up the REAL ESTATE Prices in Muar more than in Pahang, Trengganu or Kelantan which still lingered behind in agriculture.

In Penang there were Clusters of Electrical & Electronic Factories that Uplifted Its Economy

SO THESE STATES PROSPERED = SELANGOR, JOHOR & PENANG BY TRANSITING FROM AGRICULTURE TO AN INDUSTRIAL BASED ECONOMY

NOW THE LATEST TREND IS THE 4TH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION OF TRANSITING FROM INDUSTRIAL ECONOMY TO THE DIGITAL ECONOMY

Why Must It Be SO?

SEE HOW SILICON VALLEY TRANSFORMED CALIFORNIA TO BE ONE OF THE WEALTHIEST STATE IN USA & SHENZHEN - THE SILICON VALLEY OF CHINA HAS GROWN BY LEAPING FROM AGRICULTURE STRAIGHT INTO THE DIGITAL ECONOMY - MAKING SHENZHEN AMONG THE HIGHEST PER CAPITA INCOME STATE OF CHINA

Let Calvin illustrate How It Works

TAKE GRAB TAXI IN SINGAPORE, FOR EXAMPLE

THE AVERAGE GRAB TAXI DRIVER EARNS ABOUT S$10,000 (RM30,000) A MONTH 

How come so high?

Because Singapore Grab Taxi Drivers are on Call by the DIGITAL ECONOMY. We hailed a Grab thru our Mobile. Taxi drivers no longer ply the highways looking for passengers. This saves lots of time. It also save on petrol plus wear and tear.

As Singapore is so densely populated you find people calling for Grab Taxi lots of time.

If not for Grab most conventional Taxi can hardly earn more than S$5,000 a day by queueing in Changi Aipport or Popular Orchard Road

SO THE DIGITAL ECONOMY HAS ADDED VALUE TO GRAB TAXI DRIVERS' INCOME

THIS ALSO APPLY TO E-COMMERCE. AND E-COMMERCE STOCKS LIKE ALIBABA, JD.COM, AMAZON ARE TESTAMENTS TO THE POWER OF THE DIGITAL ECONOMY

TO BREAK OUT OF THE THIRD WORLD TRAP MALAYSIA MUST GO UP THE VALUE CHAIN BY THE POWER OF THE DIGITAL ECONOMY

THIS IS AN IMPERATIVE - A MUST DO OR DIE AND NOT AN OPTION FOR MALAYSIA

HENCE NFCP FIBERISATION THRUST IS NOW COMMENCING WITH A TOTAL  INFUSION OF RM50.3 BILLIONS

FOR BRIM IT ONL:Y BENEFITTED 4.8 MILLION FAMILIES FOR A TOTAL OF RM26 MILLIONS IN 5 YEARS https://www.br1m.info/about-br1m/

BUT DIGITALISATION IS A GIFT FOR ALL MALAYSIANS BY AN INJECTION OF RM50.3 BILLIONS
