Should a fairy godmother suddenly appear before me with a crystal ball, a
magic wand and a world atlas, and give me the liberty to select the country Id
like to live in 25 years from now, without a seconds hesitation, I would point to
that small nondescript, elongated peninsula straddling the equator called
Malaysia. The reason is very simple. I firmly feel that 25 years hence,
Malaysia would be one of the nicest – if not THE nicest – places to call
“home”.
Let us take a little journey down the corridors of time and cast a glance at the
destiny of some of the nations of the world over the past five decades. There is
war and famine in some, greed and suffering in others. Quite clearly,
Malaysia has reason to stand proud among the countries of the world. There
is plentiful sunshine and rainfall, while the soil is rich and the harvests

from its tantrums – there are no tsunamis and earthquakes, no floods and

dream may well become a reality just 25 years from now – all because of the
winds of technological change, which are sweeping through the country right
now. Pping! Just press that little button on your wristwatch 30 minutes before
you head home and itd activate the gamut of gadgets that will start the kettle
singing, the rice boiling, the washing machine churning and the vacuum
cleaner vrooming, and hey presto, all those tiresome household chores would
be done before you can say Abracadabra! Ridiculous, you say? Well, with
the setting up of the headquarters of computer giants in the Multimedia Super
Corridor and the pace of development of artificial intelligence being what it is
today, everything and anything is possible, and I, for one, am most definitely
looking forward to some exciting changes in our lifestyles within the next 25
years.
And as we get into our cars and head towards home, we can rest tranquil in
