In a globalized world, mega regions and mega cities compete for talent & money. Invariably cross border real estate transactions increase exponentially. 当一个社会开放，全球的人才、资金、资讯、价廉物美的产品及服务都会被吸引而来，它的竞争力就会上升，反之亦然。

马云透露了阿里巴巴以及自己成功的秘诀，那就是梦想、学习和坚持。 “第一你自己要相信，就是‘我相信’，‘我们相信’；第二是坚持；第三，我们学习；第四，我们做正确的事和正确的做事--正是这四个关键使阿里巴巴走到现在。” 人必须要有自己坚信不疑的事情，“你没有坚信不疑的事情，你不会走下去的，你开始坚信了一点点，就会越做越有意思。很多人比我们聪明，很多人比我们努力，为什么我们成功了，我们拥有了财富，而别人没有？一个重要的原因是我们坚持下来了。” 没有人相信他，1995年的杭州，人们不知道互联网是什么东西。在那段时间里，马云过的是一种被人视为骗子的生活。但是，马云的网站为上网的企业带来了客户，他的网站盈利了。1996年，马云的营业额不可思议地做到了700万元！1997年，在国家外经贸部的邀请下，马云带着自己的创业班子挥师北上，建立了一系列国家级站点。当马云回顾这段经历时，不禁感慨：“在这之前，我只是一个杭州的小商人。在外经贸部的工作经历，我知道了国家未来的发展方向，学会了从宏观上思考问题，我不再是井底之蛙。” 弃鲸鱼抓虾米 为中小企业芝麻开门 “弃鲸鱼而抓虾米，放弃那15%大企业，只做85%中小企业的生意。”这是马云在开始涉足电子商务领域时所做的决断。“如果把企业也分成富人穷人，那么互联网就是穷人的世界。因为大企业有自己专门的信息渠道，有巨额广告费，小企业什么都没有，他们才是最需要互联网的人。而我就是要领导穷人起来闹革命。”马云要做的事就是提供这样的一个平台。 最早创立这家公司的时候，我们希望他能成为全世界的十大网站之一，也希望全世界只要是商人一定要用我们。你既然有这样一个想法你需要有一个优秀的品牌、优秀的名字让全世界的人都记得住，没有想在中国做一个网站，是想在全世界做一个网站，那时候就想了好多天，想个什么名字比较好，最后觉得阿里巴巴这个名字很好，第一人家记得住，全世界的发音都一样。然后我觉得阿里巴巴是一个比较善良正直的青年，他希望把财富给别人而不是自己抓财富。所以我们后来说这英文叫open sesami，给中小型企业网上芝麻开门。 让天下没有难做的生意”是阿里巴巴的使命。 把复杂的事情简单化，要用胸怀去对付。男人需要胸怀，女人也需要胸怀，男人的胸怀是被冤枉出来的。” 马云对“笑傲江湖”四个字有着自己独特的理解：网络即江湖，如何笑傲...

Some coverage on food, financial mess, riots... The haves and have-nots Whatever the cause, what we have seen is how socially excluded groups of people have take to the streets and for that suddenly been given the time of day by the media, those in authority and the world is paying attention – willingly or unwillingly. Large generations of Malaysian young adults enter the workforce with a heavy load of debt for basic needs and are unable to buy homes and cars without their parents help. What will then happen to the next few generations? Will they have to pay off a generational debt? When people are hungry for basic necessities, have worked hard and still do not make enough to live, it is only a matter of time before they reach their tipping point – and then what? http://www.thesundaily.my/news/108243 Japan Food Riot Fears on the Rise The price of 60 kilograms of rice had a reference price of $13,700 (£8,399) for delivery in 2012 but it reached more than $19,210 on the ...

Backgrounds: 1. On May 7, Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak announced the deal which will see 800 asylum seekers who try to make their way to Australia by boat instead taken immediately to Malaysia for processing. In return, Australia will expand its humanitarian intake to resettle an extra 4,000 genuine refugees already residing in Malaysia over four years at a cost of A$292 million (RM928 million) 2. Concerned as to the harmful health effects from radioactive and other toxic waste residues of the proposed Lynas Rare Earth Refinery Project in Gebeng, Pahang. Worse, this projected plant touted as the "largest" rare earth refinery in the world is so close to human habitation. ----------------------------------------------------- No dose of radiation is safe Why do Aussies’ dirty work?

Terrorism should be viewed as a form of social cancer where an understanding of the root causes is necessary. Many of the terrorists who volunteer to be suicide bombers are intelligent and educated middle-class youths. The civilised world must wake up and understand why these people resort to such drastic action. It must be due to the perceived gross injustices and poverty prevalent in many countries and regions. One important issue to resolve would be the historic and present suffering of and the injustices inflicted on the Palestinian people. This case has often been used by these terrorists to justify their actions. Once this issue is resolved satisfactorily and fairly, it would also make it much more difficult for the leaders of Al Qaeda or other similar organisations to use it as a rallying call to recruit young people to carry out terrorist activities. Like fighting any disease, if you remove the root causes rather than just deal with the symptoms, the world should be able so...

All across the world we are seeing signs of economic chaos—rioting, inflation, sovereign debt downgrades and massive volatility in the world's stock markets and commodity prices. These are not the problem, these are only symptoms of the problems that are facing almost every country in the world today. In my opinion, these "symptoms" are likely to get much worse than better in the months ahead. You have the choice as to whether these problems will crush you or make you rich. Because this is a world-wide challenge, it requires an international response. ~ Robert Kiyosaki 200 years of remarkable progress - World-wide Challenge Requiring International Response:
