Dear Datuk Dr Denison,

Thanks for updating us with a very lucid report. It looks fine to me. Areas like projects already done by the existing agencies in the past, needs a bit more details on nature of projects (activities and funds allocated) or grants received and distributed. This will tell how much the community has received from government grants/loan etc. On Indian equity, it is important to highlight strongly that it belongs to the a small numbers of business leaders.

If we get more detail statistics from government on actual state of Indian employment in civil service, grants given to schools and other facilities, this report will get better and better and would satisfy people's expectation more. Statistics on percentage of licenses on many sectors can be staggering and demands more work from the political party and government.

Overall, you have done a great job Dato. Managing a Forum of this nature is not all that easy, Congrats. I do admire your communications skills. Bless you.
