PC fair? Is it really that big of a deal?

Remember the farmer's market that people usually have during the weekends? Picture this but replace it with vendors from different computer merchants from Kuala Lumpur. There you have it, PC fair. I am still curious about the purpose of the fair. I really hope that there is an exhibition that encourages people to display or to sell what they have developed to the public but not to try and sell what we can find in anywhere else. It is hard to say but I feel that Malaysia should encourage their people to be more adventurous and to be more creative in a way. Come on, I am sure Malaysians have learned a lot of things in their work, in their studies or in their travel experiences. Like the previous PM, we should learn from the Japanese. We should not try to stick and to depend on other people. We should try to emulate and to adapt what is best for this country. I am sure this is crucial for Malaysia to be successful before Year 2020.

After reading "The Coming Economic Collapse", I think we should really do something about this upcoming energy Armageddon. Well, we all know that we have to rely on Gasoline to run our daily lives and gasoline is definitely not unlimited. From Malaysia's National Car's web site, it has mentioned that it has developed a Hybrid car engine with their Lotus team. However, I was kinda disappointed that we were not able to use that technology for this newly released national car in Malaysia. I am sure it is a good thing to start to let Malaysian people know that Hybrid cars do exist in this world. It is hard to say this out loud but I understand that Malaysia is one of the OPEC members. However, as an observer, we should really try to emulate what the Singaporeans has done so far. The Singaporeans buy crude oil and refine it into the gasoline and other oil by-product. However, the Singaporeans only use 30% of their refinery output but they resell the rest of their output product to another country for further income. I believe that in order for Malaysia to prepare itself for this coming oil crisis, they should really come up with a plan and they should really show their dedication on making this backup plan. We should really start to look into alternative energy that is suitable for the country. Since we are located close to the equator, why don't we start and harvest more solar energy(Solar energy Panels are not that efficient so far) ? I am sure the sun will not run out before the world oil supply is sucked dry. This is a really good opportunity for us to actually achieve something that not many country has done so far.
