[...] Besides, I would applaud if the billions ringgit saved could be used to develop our villages… but I am affraid that we might use it for something else… paying for a crook bridge (that was never built), spending on new toys or sending a traveller to space. [...]

i advise visionaries to stay focus for another 30 years later. The false vision given to others by many amature visionaries with its own agendas will not be tolerate by the supreme council of visionary.

It all depend on what will be the outcome of this in terms of long term effects.

If it can inspire a lot of Malaysian kids by this program to be astronaut or spark interest in science and technology and aerospace in particular or related fields, then multiply that by the number (millions) of kids and their success stories in years to come. The values could be exponential. (could be equivalent to billions of ringgit as spent in education budget which also include inspirational and motivational sessions and classes)

Some credit should be given to intangible values like inspiration and motivation before a person can produce tangible results.

I have been to Johnson Space Centre or NASA in Houston with guided tour, and I can understand the reason why US spent a lot of dollars in their Space Programme before they can send a person to space.

Nothing compare to what we are spending, the learning experience we are getting is very much more valuable and of course our astronauts must share all their knowledge and experience with fellow Malaysians especially our school kids.

This is certainly different from other expedition such as Dato Mansor’s sailing around the world (Panglima Hitam had done that long time ago) or South and North Pole expedition (cool experience) by D.Paduka Mazlina which spent millions of ringgit also.

I m inspired a lot by others and love to give inspiration and motivation to others as a lecturer.

But there is a different between “because of your insistences of stupid ideas, so you are stupid” and a mere “you are stupid”. It is not right to say a person is stupid, but an idiot is an idiot (vice versa, from opponents), you cant change their mind.

It is all base on facts (on the ground).

I am not contradicting. I respect freedom of speech, but I believe it has it limits… attacking people and attacking ideas are two different stories.

I welcome people to debate on ideas and thoughts, but not personal attack.

There is a different between ‘your idea is stupid’ and ‘you are stupid’.

On ffad asking Yeinjee to limit comments entries.

Yeinjee says

“ffad… it’s possible.

The comment sections are here for people to say what they want and what they think of. It might not be something that I agree or pleasing for the majorities… but that’s freedom of speech. Isn’t that part of what lots of Malaysians are fighting for as well?”

I am sorry i have to make some comments but you are contradicting.

This is enough guys. I welcome debates and arguments, but I don’t like to see blatant attacks. Stop attacking each other. Thank you.
