Police only doing as they are told... I'm sure Dr. Mahathir was quietly amused (bemused)

If you read my blog/webpage you will know I have met some of Proton's management, past and present.
Proton being a Malaysian car company. They own Lotus (Hethel).
I have briefly met Dr. Mahathir. Now Chairman of Lotus and Proton.

I presented at ASLI with his Son (a former Lotus board member) and Tengku Mahaleel (former CEO of Lotus).

Before we went on both gentlemen let me know they would not appreciate it if I publicly embarassed them in any way... Keeping face in Asia is a big deal it would seem.
So I am not suprised to see this video appearing on youtube. Obviously, a VVIP was apprehensive about being publicly humiliated and took appropriate action.
The Police are only following orders.

I remember in my younger days having contact with the Police in America. I was arrested several (3)times for drink driving. The Police did what the Police do. End of.
The last time, I had an argument at the bar with a Man who was rude to the bar staff (gave him the wrong brand of beer). The person I argued with felt it necessary to call the Police after I left, apparently he got a pay rise from 'our' company for this.
I got what I deserved, a ban, a fine, lost my house for six months, and had a black mark against my name...  Fair enough.

In Dr. Mahathirs case I imagine he was escorted home/elsewhere. No harm done...

Out with the old in with the new!

This is my last entry for this year.

My previous entry was sent to Group Lotus top management.

Motorsport university ... Show me the money... Billions

Here is a small portion...

^{Using this as a template: 1 million students would mean 10 billion dollars revenue.}

^{This is far more than I projected using Malaysian Open University figures 4-5 billion Malaysian Ringitt (1 billion plus American dollars)}

^{Presently Phoenix seems to operating on an income that is 13.4% of Revenue...}

^{On a 10 billion Dollar revenue that would be 1.34 Billion dollars a year.}

 ^{So far no reply}

^{During the ASLI Conference I used the 1 billion Dollar figure as the total revenue stream. I may well have undersold the project.}

^{Never mind.}

^{In 2009 I attended ASLI with Alex Yoong as my guest.
Alex was Mister popularity and got some work out of the conference (Bufori). Later joined the Tony Fernandes F1 team (now Team Lotus) as Driver Development coach.}

^{This year I attended with a couple of my team. People are aware of the project.}

^{Here is Tony with some of his 2010 friends. (Courtesy of lotusbuzz)}

^{Times change.}

^{I fully expect the project to get funding in 2011.} 

^{Goodbye 2010... Hello 2011}
