By Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad's own admission, his biggest regret was that he was not able to change the servile mentality of the Malay Malaysians.


 I suggest we appoint Coca-Cola as prime minister. If decades ago, well before it was common knowledge, it was able to figure out:


 <li>
 how to convince investors/lender to fund an expansion campaign on TV and
 </li>


 <li>
 how to use TV and other channels to organise this mind change that we now take for granted,
 </li>


 we can use their world-best practice savvy.


 The highest priority challenge for Malaysia today is how we select the latest innovations, processes and talents available, to find resources for and best assure returns from change. The Coca-Cola gang is what we need to guide the country.


 Who knows, this could have us walking in the direction that had Asia invent numerals, gunpowder, paper and merchant-marine infrastructure. Time to set the pace for real quantum inventions. The wait of 550 years since the end of Admiral Cheng Ho is more than enough!
