1 MALAYSIA - ETP

When PM Najib took the office of the Malaysian 6th Prime Minister, he heed on a trademark of 1 Malaysia. In a nutshell, 1 Malaysia is a principle where the people come first in any government action. 1 MALAYSIA - people first, performance now.

Economic Transformation Program - ETP


While the government was previously the main engine of growth, ETP paves the way for private sector involvement. EPPs (Entry Point Projects) are the mainstream of the newly identified economy. There are 12 National Key Economic Areas (NKRAs)
1)Oil, gas and energy
2)Palm Oil
3)Financial Services
4)Tourism
5)Business Services
6)Improving electronics and electrical
7)Wholesale and retail
8)Education
9)Health care
10)Communication content and infrastructure
11)Agriculture
12)Greater Kuala Lumpur

As for #4 Tourism it could be subdivided into Health Tourism and Education Tourism. I remember when my father had his operation at IJN, there was a couple from another ASEAN nation who had their by pass operation there.

Lately Malaysia has also been a center for students from Africa and ASEAN nations to obtain tertiary education. These students would be traveling to many parts of Malaysia during term breaks.

I am anxious to know the actual size of greater Kuala Lumpur. Will it be like the MSC i.e.Multimedia Super Corridor where it covers the area of KLCC, Putrajaya and KLIA? My instinct says it will also cover the Negeri Sembilan north west area(Nilai or VALue)

HOWEVER
1 Malaysia to me is not completing my Bachelor's degree at Universiti Utara Malaysia UUM (at one time ESB USASK had an MOU with UUM). Never ever I wrote any letter nor I spoke to anyone to complete my BCommerce at UUM. It was absolute nonsense.

To my fellow friends who studied at Commerce University of Saskatchewan, Thank You FOR NOT inviting me to the raya gathering becoz you people do not have my contact number, does it not?
