South-South ties key to tackle poverty: Dr M
LANGKAWI, MALAYSIA
05-Aug-07
SOUTH nations must reinforce ties among themselves to combat the ever-increasing
challenges faced by developing countries, said Dr Mahathir Mohamad, founder of
the long-running Langkawi International Dialogue (LID) which enters its eighth
edition today.
Speaking to Bernama recently, the former Malaysian Prime Minister said linkages
between these developing nations should be upgraded, describing LID as an ideal
platform to "renew their vows".
"I think LID will help. The government is backing it and it is spending a lot of
money to hold this," he said.
Dr Mahathir, who is also the Perdana Leadership Foundation president, has
confirmed his attendance at the three-day event beginning today.
However, the outspoken leader, who was Prime Minister for 22 years before giving
up the post in 2003, will not be presenting any paper at LID 2007.
After retiring, Dr Mahathir attended LID in 2004 when he was appointed
Commonwealth Partnership for Technology Management Fellow Emeritus.
LID 2007, themed "Poverty Eradication through Human Capital Development and
Capacity Building", will take the conference a notch higher, concentrating on
issues that matter a lot to South nations.
Poverty has been one of the major issues that have hampered South countries,
making it difficult for them to attain developed nation status.
These mostly African nations will need to seek guidance from Malaysia in
formulating action plans as the country has successfully almost eradicated
poverty.
They also acknowledged that one of the ways to overcome the problem is through
education.
Last year, Malaysia's total investment in South countries amounted to US$4.8
billion ($7.2 billion) through brisk efforts by the government to encourage
local firms to invest in developing nations.
LID 2007 will not only involve the South countries but is also open for the
first time to leaders from outside the Commonwealth countries, such as Cambodia,
Myanmar, Vietnam and Thailand. A total of 16 heads of government, mostly from
Africa, and 500 participants have confirmed their participation.

Old Sod Yap ... when are you coming out of the closet.
Why project your homosexuality onto others? Why the hate?
Come out of the closet and be truthful to your family.
Stop the hate, and be true to yourself.

do you see any hatred amongst the malays in this forum?
do you see any malay poster fighting with fellow malay here?
even they don't agree with the nep, they do so with finesse than the chinese ;-)
in the above case of cksf, here we have a gross case of a chinese suffering from
severe attack of inferiority complex.
he is bent on attacking on anyone who disagrees with him.
he thinks he is very smart but in fact an idiot hiding under a canopy of pompous
short phrases, innuendoes and suchlike rots of LOL.
he comes in the guise of a "mentor, comforter, scholar,former legal practioner"
working to the destruction of fellow chinese in malaysia.
umnoputra are very grateful to him
