name. He has written a book, called "From third world to first". He
had transformed Singapore after independence from Malaysia. I urge to
read this book, if you have time.
For Japan, I think, their culture, very hard working and honesty.
For India, it is a Harvard grad Tamil, Palanniappan Chithambaram, with

him at this point in time. Firts, we should make this forum more
valuable and interesting.
Guys,
since our economy is agro and sea based, we should find ways to
improve lives of ordinary people, and here are some suggested topics
to research:
:: Modern agro industry
:: Salt industry (food, dry food and othere benefits)
:: Aloe Vera - in Tamil Kathalai. Frnace who is leader in cosmetic has
invested 2B USD in Brazil to plant and process as ingridient.
:: Modern Port and dockyard
Did you know?
According to Forbes magazine, there are two new billionares, one from
India and other from China, by making/selling "Home Solar Products".
This has a huge potential along with wind and other alternate
sustainable products of energy.

poor, helping them to get rich or poor among the rich.
World's richest man, Bill Gates, who arguably stole DOS (Disk
Operating System) and put a GUI (Graphic User Interface). Please note
that he has no higher education. The second richest man, Warren
Buffet, (http://www.berkshirehathaway.com/) also with no higher
education, borrowed money from friends and invested in companies where
people spend (such Coco cola, Procter and Gamble, Walmart etc,.)
Another interesting Canadian company is ONEX,
http://www.onex.com/index.taf?pid=2&_UserReference=C8347B62F88534C045ED6ECB
and at he helm, Gerry Shwartz, he also buys companies here and there
that have difficulties, hire someone to turn around and resells.
Other guy is Laksmi Mittal who started first purchasing a steel
company in Trinand and Tobago and now controls worlds steel industry,
after the purchase of Arcelor of France.
India, who is hungry for oil and has interests in Trincomalee (IOC),
has bought for 20B USD some oil wells and refineries in Sudan which
was sold to them by Talisman, a Canadian company.
Why am I telling these? I think asset management is key to success and
Tamil as a nation of displaced people all over the world, also could
build a nation as investors and entrepreneurs.

On the 16th of 1996, the P. V. Narasimha Rao fell and Manmohan
Singh ceased to be the Finance Minister of India. It did not take
twenty four hours before the ex-Finance Minister returned his official
car. It was an Indian made "Ambassador VIP vehicle". Within a month
Manmohan had vacated his official residence. From then on as a member
of Parliament and as Leader of the Opposition in the Raj Sabha from
1998 to 2004, he travelled to work in a public mini bus paying Rs 4.
(Indian) per trip.
To understand the stature of Manmohan Singh, a short biographical
note on Manmohan is worth studying.
Dr. Singh is an economist by profession. His economics education
included an undergraduate (1952) and a master's degree (1954) from
Punjab University, Chandigarh; an undergraduate degree (1957) from
Cambridge University (St. John's College); and a doctorate (1962) from
Oxford University (Nuffield College). (Cambridge University awarded
him an honorary Doctor of Civil Law degree in June 2005. Honarary
Doctorates have been awarded to him by Oxford and Harvard apart from
innumerable other Universities.) He is the most educated Indian Prime
Minister in history.
Singh is also known to be an unassuming politician, enjoying a
formidable, highly respected and admired image. He was awarded the
Outstanding Parliamentarian Award in 2002. He is widely credited for
transforming the economy in the early 90s, during the financial
crisis.
That is not all. Manmohan Singh was Finance Secretary, Governor of the
Reserve Bank of India, Deputy Chairman of the India's powerful
National Planning Commission and Head of the South Commission in
Geneva. He was Governor for India on the Board of Governors of the IMF
and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, from
1991 to 1995.
His first language is Urdu. He used to recite Urdu Poetry while
presenting his budgets to Indian Parliament. Mr Manmohan Singh is a
Sikh.
Do the lives of men like Mr Manmohan Singh and their example inspire
us in the modern world ?
