Where Do New Ideas Come From?

I think new Ideas comes from visioning. Dr Mahathir Mohammad who was the fourth Prime Minister of Malaysia modernized this country by visioning. He build the Petronas Twin Tower, Sepang International Circuit and The KL Tower which attracted tourist. Without his brilliant ideas, Malaysia could not have been well developed. The skyline of Kuala Lumpur could not have been fitted with tall buildings. The number of tourists paying a visit to Malaysia has increase dramatically. Tourists like to visit the Sepang International Circuit when there is the F1 race and they would like to see the world's tallest twin towers which is the Petronas Twin Tower.

After twenty-two years in office, Dr Mahathir resigned as Prime Minister. His 22 years reign left a huge legacy. Dr Mahathir issued an objective "Vision 2020" which is the year he predicted that Malaysia will become a fully developed country.

My Favorite Story From our Short Story Unit

The are three stories we read. I have to admit that "The Sniper" by Liam O'Flaherty. The massage of the story is to raise awareness to everone that civil war is a horrific situation to be in. The author give awareness because at the end of the story, the sniper killed the enemy sniper and it turned out to be his brother. After reading this short story, I suddenly realized that civil war is like killing your brother because the sniper killed the enemy sniper that actually turned out to be his brother. This story is a really good story because of its unique writing technique. The author knows how to put suspense.
