We got Petronas!
Just need to convert that into a Malaysia samsung or hyundai.
Actually just practice more friendly and open business invitations,
Malaysia's anti-earthquake, cheap labor and big lands (sg = hahaha) and
the none existence of
red and yellow t-shirts will ensure Malaysia a top choice for foreign
investment for many years until everyone in this list is expired.

Giving away free only makes money when (either one of the following) :-

5. you are just an individual and ur hoping for (3,4)
hotmail, yahoo, facebook = combination of 1 + 2
IE kill netscape = 1, resulting in netscape became kaput hence firefox
Unless you have the criteria above, giving away free gets u nothing.
If IronMan2 decides to give aways its digital rights and free before
getting its ROI, you
won't see IronMan3.

Giving away for free does make money. Look at Hotmail, Yahoo!,
FaceBook. Even Microsoft uses it. They gave away IE for free to kill
Netscape. Protecting marketspace is business. Malaysia has to protect
itself. It will die soon in terms of competitiveness and bargaining
power. South Korea got Samsung. Malaysia got almost nothing on the
table.
unfortunately, the big boss is too busy playing golf with these
foreign companies. that's what you get when you have an mba as a
ceo. oopppsss... he's doesn't have a postgraduate qualification.
he's just a former computer salesman. i wonder how much export sales
did he make in his previous employment ?
Playing golf if close business deals is ok. But getting the Pau Lady
is not really business. It is digital divide issue. Wrong spot.
Should be under Kementerian Luar Bandar. Don't worry. Felda has
lubang golf also. MDec's boss can go play there.
