I found it refreshing to hear the other side of the argument being conveyed in a clear and consice manner without the normal rhetoric associated with the taking, spending, collusion etc etc arguments one often becomes party to when discussing the role of Petronas. Being a Mat Saleh based in KL I commend your forthright belief in what has been done and what is about to be done. Your comment on whether or not "hand-outs" or government sub-vention should be examind from a socio-economic view point is the only area that I could dissagree with you on. Malaysia is country rich in raw materials and culture. Ideally located in SE Asia it should set an example of how to implement programmes to help the dissadvantaged. As one travels out of the cities one gains first hand knowledge of people being marginalised based not on there race or religion but on their location. I fail to understand how the fiscal policy of Malaysia has not been able to solve the inequality of the social fabric of Malysian Citizens. There are far too many people living on the "bread line" in Malaysia. Perhaps some of the execs in Petronas could use their influence in the Goverenment to utilise better, their experience of running a successful business and integrate this knowledge within the Government Agencies upon their retirement from commercial activities ! I would profer however that untill such time as a clear and concise educational system is implemented with clear goals and clear responsubility, the drain on Malaysias professionals will continue to suck the life blood of a nation that has so much more to do. But this has nothing to do with Petronas, so please forgive my "rantings" Have read with interest your posting.
