Tahun Kreativiti dan Inovasi
Sungguh pantas kita kini telah pun menghampiri akhir dekad ini dan permulaan satu dekad yang baharu. Sejak 2000 lagi, kita telah melihat kemunculan produk yang amat inovatif seperti iPhone, Blackberry, Twitter, Facebook, dan You Tube. Kita juga telah menyaksikan kebangkitan Google yang tiada noktahnya, menukar cara kita menggunakan media dan berkomunikasi antara satu dengan lain. Dekad yang datang ini ternyata tidak kurang menariknya.
Negara-negara yang menyenangi inovasi, seperti Jepun, Finland dan Amerika Syarikat, hasilnya berjaya membangunkan ekonomi yang lebih maju. Inovasi mewujudkan pekerjaan dan menggalakkan daya saing negara, Oleh sebab itulah, kita juga mesti menghasilkan impak yang kreatif dalam ekonomi global yang berdaya saing. Janganlah kita membiarkan diri kita ketinggalan di belakang.
Ketika membentangkan Belanjawan 2010 baru-baru ini, saya telah menyatakan satu model ekonomi baharu, berasaskan inovasi, kreativiti dan aktiviti tambah nilai, akan menggandakan lebih daripada pendapatan per kapita rakyat dalam tempoh 10 tahun yang akan datang.
Menyokong perkara ini ialah konsep 1Malaysia, atau keperluan untuk memanfaatkan kebolehan daya kreatif semua rakyat Malaysia. Sebagaimana baru-baru ini seorang pakar antarabangsa telah mengiktiraf, "1Malaysia sangat serasi dengan inovasi. Bakat bukan hanya didapati dalam sesuatu budaya, tetapi ianya tersebar di merata-rata."
Tahun baru, 2010, akan menjadi Tahun Kreativiti dan Inovasi. Pada suku tahun pertama, kita akan melancarkan Pusat Inovasi Negara (MyNIC) yang akan disokong oleh satu rangkaian pusat kecemerlangan inovasi. Tujuan MyNIC mudah sahaja: untuk memajukan keupayaan saintifik dan teknologi kita.
Langkah-langkah seperti Petunjuk Prestasi Utama (KPI)Â dan Bidang Keberhasilan Utama Negara (NKRA) yang kita tetapkan baru-baru ini sementara itu akan memupuk budaya inovasi di dalam sektor awam.
Dengan ketibaan Rangkaian Inovasi 4G pada penghujung 2010, yang membawa jalur lebar laju tinggi ke seluruh pelosok tanah air, akan wujud lebih banyak peluang untuk membuat inovasi. Malahan, Bank Dunia telah menyatakan bahawa peningkatan 10% dalam penembusan jalur lebar ada hubung kait dengan peningkatan KDNK sebanyak 1.3%.
Apabila lembaran inovasi kita terus dibuka daripada lipatannya, saya akan memaklumkan kepada anda tentang perkembangannya. Saya juga berminat untuk mendengar kisah-kisah kejayaan anda dan/atau petua-petua peribadi anda bagaimana untuk menjadi lebih kreatif!
I have just started reading your blog and this one on Creativity and Innovation really interests me.
I am a young woman entrepreneur who is keen to venture into the production of high value functional (i.e. health wise) ingredients/products that are derived from local agriculture produce. This idea came up after a trip to kelantan and I noticed many stalls were selling melons, pumpkins and sweet potatoes along the road. During that trip, I found out from locals as well as a Tobacco Board officer that there is always this surplus of these crops because there is no commercial demand for them. I went back and brainstormed with friends and came up with the idea of initiating this agriculture biotech project.
Our proposal has already been submitted twice as it was rejected the first time. We have corrected what was needed to be corrected and we are trying again for the second seating this year (which is this saturday, 29/10/10). We refuse to give up so easily as we see the potential of this project being a success and since we have also put in a lot of effort and resources in trying to make this project possible.
We hope the government would be supportive of this project and not dissapoint us this time, YAB.
Thank you.

Recently, our monk(Sadayaw Ashin Indaka original from Madalay, Myanmar) has been staying in this temple also unhappy because the committees are not pay anythings to him, he is working in hardly to advise people and we also unhappy and very sad when heard the bad news from our monks. Sometime the committees people came and shouting in the temple without have any reason and done what they need to do, our monk said, the committees of this temple don’t have Buddhist teachings in their mind, may be next time Buddhist can destroy.
The Spratley Islands are long lying entities where political disputes over their ownership seem to be going to go on forever.
I would suggest that all those countries which share the claims for this islands get together and build a nuclear reactor there.They could then share the electricity production from this source for their power needs. The reactor could supply their electricity needs for the next 300 years or more.
I hope that the honorable and respected Prime Minister would kindly give his precious time to ponder over this issue and give his wise opinion.
Thank You.

Buat Masa ini belum ada satu pelan@program PENJANAAN PENDAPATAN RAKYAT yg mampu direalisasikan hingga ke akar umbi (seluruh rakyat) dengan berkesan.
Saya berharap agar ada Satu Mekanisme yang BENAR2 mampu menjana pendapatan rakyat secara MENYELURUH. TIADA RISIKO, MUDAH & MURAH, BERTERUSAN DAN PERTAMA Di DUNIA... DAN YG PALING PENTING ialah EFEKTIF!
Dan secara peribadi, saya melihat POTENSI ini (Tel Cellular @ handphone) amat RELEVAN utk dijadikan Elemen @ MEKANISME MENJANA PENDAPATAN kerana mampu dimiliki selaras dengan Dunia Tanpa Sempadan dalamm ERA ICT kini..
Jika rakyat berpendapatan Tinggi maka bebanan kerajaan utk SUbsidi sana sini blh digunakan utk tujuan pembangunan HOLISTIK negara MALAYSIA.
Without warning, they were thrown into the dark, cut off from communication and business transactions. It was the second occurrence in a week. No explanation was ever given by either AT&T or Verizon, the $82 billion telecom giants.
Just a few days earlier, hundreds of thousands of iPhone users in Great Britain were left in the dark for the third time in a year.
On October 2nd, nearly 1 million T-Mobile Sidekick users lost all of their personal data - business contacts, appointments, addresses - everything. Outraged customers filed class action lawsuits just two days later - adding another to a long list.
And on January 29, 2010, Google Nexus One users nationwide also lost all of their data during after being left in the dark for more than eight hours. Again, no explanation was given.
How frightening and dangerous would this be?
Hope that there are more opportunities for the development of defence products in Malaysia. Malaysians are talented and we just need some incentive and allowance for people to try and invent new technologies.
Over dependence on foreign technology is not beneficial to Malaysia. We hope that local companies with the vision to design and development military products can gain government support and hopefully local defence purchase to help grow local entrepenuer in the local market.
