Hi! Sorry for the long silence. Pahlawan is very much 
alive, thankyou. Pahlawan Dulu Kini Selamanya (Yesterday 
Today Forever) ;)

With the general election fever climbing by the day, 
Pahlawan is up to some serious fun again and we hope 
you will join us once again. Remember the fun we had 
with the FCAM Presidency Election on the Net where Tan 
Sri Ngan Chin Wen won 2/3 majority but the actual result 
reflects otherwise? (Those of you who wish to go down 
memory lane, visit http://rayma.com.my/pahlawan/huazongelection/index.html)

You guessed right! Pahlawan (a Malaysian advocacy and 
lobby group - for the info of new subscribers) will 
be holding a parallel Malaysian General Election ON 
THE NET. Put on your thinking cap. Here goes...

A KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY REQUIRES A KNOWLEDGE GOVERNMENT

Even villages at the remotest parts of Asia have realized 
that their world will forever be changed by the twin 
forces of globalization and technology. Whether they 
are students at Inner Mongolia, women entrepreneurs 
in Bengladesh or our very own Muslim girls in the villages 
of Trengganu understand the power of the mobile phone 
and the internet.

The FUTURE is already here, the 21st century will bring 
forth a NEW ERA, one that will be characterized by greater 
competition and structural disruption.  And a New Economy 
will dawn. To help Malaysians make the transition to 
the The New Knowledge Economy we require a Knowledge 
Government. 

All over the world, those governments that can successfully 
deliver prosperity to the people are ones that have 
successfully reinvented and restructured themselves. 
They attract and retain a world class executive team 
comprising the brightest, most competent and morally 
upright men and women willing to serve in public service.

A highly professional and knowledgeable executive team 
is fundamental to helping Malaysians cope with the changes 
of the coming century; they stay vigilant, responsive 
and constantly realign the government to address the 
needs of the people and the expectations of the international 
community. The way to root out corruption is to downsize 
government and hold public officials to a high ethical 
standard.

OPEN TO ALL MALAYSIANS, this cyber election, wishful 
thinking of some Malaysians, is to choose the Malaysian 
executive team directly to help the New Government find 
talents. You are encouraged to nominate any outstanding 
leader that you know will do an excellent job and make 
Malaysians proud. Pahlawan will select the top 3 candidates 
with the most nomination and put them on a direct poll 
on the net. Full details, visit http://www.rayma.com.my/pahlawan/election99/index.html

NOMINATIONS begin today and will end on November 23 
1999, 5 p.m. Polling begins on November 24 and ends 
on November 29 1999, 5 p.m. Full details, visit
http://www.rayma.com.my/pahlawan/election99/nomination.html

MORE POLLS
Do you support the idea of setting up Free-Speech Square 
in Kuala Lumpur? (Poll and feedback ends Nov 30)
http://www.goodfriends.com.my/square.shtml 
Defaulting on a loan is betraying the trust and support 
the community bestows on the individual. This is an 
irresponsible act that will deny future generations 
of assistance. For students who has defaulted on the 
repayment of their study loans and breached their scholarship 
terms, the authorities must not hesitate to discipline 
them with measures such as impounding their passports, 
stop access to all future credit, publish their names 
in a Bad Credit Risk List. Do you agree?
