Largest Cities of Malaysia

Ramli is fortunate to travel to cities like London,Warsaw,Seoul,Guangzhou,Tokyo,Osaka,Jakarta,Manila,Singapore and others.All these great cities have many Mega Malls and Shopping Paradise establish many years ago and also those just being renovated or given a fresh look or experience.

The shops like at Harrods of Knightsbridge,London are so amazing with products of many categories and locations.We can buy the latest offerings from Designer brands and also exclusively made for Harrods.What we need is lots of money to buy those “dream products” of ours and make us very satisfied with the products we have purchased.However,not everybody can do that or make such actions!

So,the very rich people will buy what shops like Harrods offer up to date and for the normal earning person they wait for special announcements of Sales Campaigns,Festive Sales or even “knock down” sales prices!For the less fortunate they can only perform window shopping sprees and just watch all those products offerings.Many more people just do not go to Harrods at all since they have little money to spend going out of their homes what more making the trips to the cities shops!

This is the reality of  life for us all and only the fortunate ones will enjoy all the above luxuries of life while many more live on a mere meal a day and hope for a special time where they too can go shopping and window shopping of products they come to know or love to buy!

Lets hope we have our secure jobs and earn a decent living to support our family,parents and all we loved!The role of Entrepreneurs is so important because Entrepreneurs build business to help feed the world’s population and Entrepreneurs must be supported,given enough education and help build their business to greater heights and prosperity.There is a greater crime than not to be serious to build your business where workers become unemployed ,retrenched and not looked after!Wake up all Entrepreneurs ! Build your business to Build your People,Happiness and Prosperity!

When Malaysia propagated the concept of Industrialisation in the early 1960s many kampung folks were invited to come to the urban centres like in Klang Valley areas,Penang,Johor and Perak to work in the many newly set up industries owned by locals and many by Multinational Companies like Japanese,Americans,Germans and others.
As a result of these Industrialisation efforts the Malaysian Kampungs soon lost her lustre and importance to position themselves as excellent dwelling centres for Malaysians since many of their population “ran away” to the cities to seek new jobs with higher salaries,enjoy the “city life” plus abstaining from doing the hard work in the rice fields,rubber plantations,tin mines,oil palms estates and other “sweat” based work that kampung life offers to her inhabitants.
However,as of today 2010,we now realized what city life have made us to become more stressed with every pay day means still not enough to meet the month’s end expenses especially with all the rent to pay,utilities bills,car installments and telephone top ups and others not forgetting those who dare to get loans from the Ah Longs or similar ones!Maybe we can summarised to say living in the cities with all the industrialzation going on is not that good after all!We still in the “rat race” and many of the Rakyat still have great problems to “feed their family” what more to live in surplus with extra money to keep in the banks or enjoy the excesses that city life may offer!
So now with the Agro Plan as the next growth engine of the Malaysian Economy and the best way to sustain our natural resources and independence for our Food Supply moving back to the Kampungs is actually a good strategy and wise move than staying in the cities with the continual challenges of meeting ones needs for the monthly living.
Many projects are now being taken by the govt and private enterprises where many agro based projects both upstream and down stream like have flourished.Many new lands are now grown with all kinds of vegetables to supply to hotels,fastfood companies,food manufacturers and also some for export as manufactured products.Many animal breeding projects like cattle,sheep,chicken and ostriches also deers have started.The rearing of fish both salt and non salt based are plenty since the country need lots of protein supply to the people.
Managing the kampungs well is important to sustain a Green Malaysia with no loss of our natural heritage due to forest burning for new lands or quietly “driving out” the orang asli from their natural locations to a new location that is actually not wanted or appreciated by them like living in a bungalow or apartments with the rest of the house owners in the new residential estates that was originally their “home ground” or ancestors lands.
Still,Ramli think the Malaysian kampungs is not that many people yet to really transform them to new sustainable gloobal villages where the rural infrastructures and other amneties are not well equipped so maybe we need more time or will it happen by 2010?
Internet connectivity and electricity,water,telephone plus other facilities as well provided with cost (of course) like in the cities especially good transport system must now be made available in these kampungs or rural locations.Only with these basic infrastructures can we ensure that the rural and also the current urban areas can move Malaysia to achieve the Vision 2020 Goals!
So,actually living in the now rural locations is not really rural but “RURUB” meaning rural place but urban style or also means GloCal ie.global standards with local conditions.
Lets hope this Transformation of Malaysian Kampungs like what may be done in the Government Transformation Program (GTP) like in the many so called NKRAs and MKRAs will enable our 1Malaysians to have equal opportunities for a higher standard of living and earning either they work in the cities or their own kampungs,they are equally rewarding only the focus jobs or processes maybe different but the technology used are equally up to date and modern with many innovations and creativity approaches.
