(m)\n\n SWOT Analysis is a strategic planning tool used to evaluate the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats involved in a project or in a business venture. Strengths and weaknesses are internal to an organization. Opportunities and threats originate from outside the organization. A SWOT analysis, usually performed early in the project development process, helps organizations evaluate the environmental factors and internal situation facing a project.

Malaysia's Economy\n\nMalaysia is one of the key "Asian Tigers" as a consequence of its energetic efforts to transform itself into an information age nation. Unlike its larger neighbors, Malaysia's workforce is well under way on the road to becoming an information dominant economy, as shown in Figure 25. The information sector is estimated as constituting 28% of the workforce at the end of 1998; it is expected to grow to 38% of the workforce by the end of 2003. Malaysia's GDP has had annual growth rates in the 7% to 9% range throughout the early to mid-1990s (Kiranjit, 2004).\n\nE-commerce in Malaysia\nElectronic Commerce or e-commerce has received much attention from governments, businesses and regional bodies. This importance has been attributed to several converging factors. These factors include: first, the development of the use of the Internet as a means by which information is disseminated and through which communication and connectivity is enabled; and second, the affordability of personal computers, increase in their computing capability, and the wide use of open standards (Kiranjit, 2005)\n\nThere is a high level of interest in e-commerce in the Malaysian government and in its resident information industries. Beginning in 1997, the government established an Inter-Agency Task Force on Electronic Commerce to develop a national strategic action plan and recommend policy initiatives on security, encryption technologies, and transaction tracking mechanisms for facilitating e-commerce. One of the key topics for discussion was the relative advantages and disadvantages to Malaysia on e-commerce vis-à-vis international trade. So far, the conclusion appears to be that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages but that the country should proceed with caution (Kiranjit, 2004).\n\nBenefits of E-Commerce for Malaysia\n\nThe main opportunities of e-commerce to businesses and corresponding benefits to consumers in Malaysia includes (Kiranjit, 2004):\n\n    * Worldwide access and greater choice\n    * Enhanced competitiveness and quality of service\n    * Mass customization and personalized products and services\n    * Elimination of intermediaries and product availability\n    * Greater efficiency and lower costs\n    * New business opportunities and new products and services \n\nThe Future of E-Commerce for Malaysia\nThe future of e-commerce seems to be very bright for Malaysia. However, it can only remain so if there is consumer trust and confidence in it. Therefore, there is a need for online traders to be accountable and responsible to the consumer. Governments and businesses need to work together on an international platform to ensure specific standards are set, which will assist the electronic traders to meet their responsibilities more systematically. Both the business and government have a role to play in international consumer protection in the online marketplace, which can be global and borderless. The government needs to provide a baseline for international consumer protection to ensure effectiveness of industry self-regulation and thus strengthen consumer confidence. Industry’s expertise and knowledge of commerce, and its ability to take that information and translate it into procedures for operating in the digital world at the same pace as the underlying technology evolves will allow it to implement the necessary codes of conduct.

The Federation of Malaysia is a federation of 13 states in Southeast Asia, formed in 1963.\n\nThe country consists of two geographical regions divided by the South China Sea:\n\nWest Malaysia (or Peninsular Malaysia) on the Malay Peninsula shares a land border on the north with Thailand and is connected by the Johor-Singapore Causeway and the Malaysia-Singapore Second Link on the south with Singapore. It consist of the 11 states Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, Malacca, Negeri Sembilan, Pahang, Perak, Perlis, Penang, Selangor and Terengganu, and the two federal territories Putrajaya and Kuala Lumpur. \nEast Malaysia occupies the northern part of the island of Borneo, bordering Indonesia and the Sultanate of Brunei. It consists of the federal territory of Labuan islands and the states of Sabah and Sarawak. \nThe Malay Peninsula has long benefited from its central position in the maritime trade routes between China and the Middle East. Ptolemy showed it on his early map with a label that translates as "Golden Chersonese", the Straits of Malacca as "Sinus Sabaricus".\n\nThe earliest recorded Malay kingdoms grew from coastal city-ports established in the 10th century AD. These include Langkasuka and Lembah Bujang in Kedah, as well as Beruas and Gangga Negara in Perak and Pan Pan in Kelantan. It is thought that originally these were Hindu or Buddhist nations. The first evidence of Islam in the Malay peninsula dates from the 14th century in Terengganu.\n\nIn the early 15th century, the Sultanate of Malacca was established under a dynasty founded by Parameswara, a prince from Palembang, who fled from the island Temasek (now Singapore). Parameswara decided to establish his kingdom in Malacca after witnessing an astonishing incident where a white mouse deer kicked one of his hunting dogs. With Malacca as its capital, the sultanate controlled the areas which are now Peninsula Malaysia, southern Thailand (Patani), and the eastern coast of Sumatra. It existed for more than a century, and within that time period Islam spread to most of the Malay Archipelago. Malacca was the foremost trading port at the time in Southeast Asia.\n\nIn 1511, Malacca was conquered by Portugal, which established a colony there. The sons of the last sultan of Malacca established two sultanates elsewhere in the peninsula - the Sultanate of Perak to the north, and the Sultanate of Johor (originally a continuation of the old Malacca sultanate) to the south. After the fall of Malacca, three nations struggled for the control of Malacca Strait: the Portuguese (in Malacca), the Sultanate of Johor, and the Sultanate of Aceh. This conflict went on till 1641, when the Dutch (allied to the Sultanate of Johor) gained control of Malacca.\n\nBritain established its first colony in the Malay peninsula in 1786, with the granting of the island of Penang to the British East India Company by the Sultan of Kedah. In 1824, the British took control of Malacca following the Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1824 which divided the Malaya archipelago between Britain and the Netherlands, with Malaya in the British zone. In 1826, Britain established the crown colony of the Straits Settlements, uniting its three possessions in Malaya: Penang, Malacca and Singapore. The Straits Settlements were administered under the East India Company in Calcutta until 1867, when they were transferred to the Colonial Office in London.\nDuring the late 19th century, many Malay states decided to obtain British help in settling their internal conflicts. The commercial importance of tin mining in the Malay states to merchants in the Straits Settlemens led to British government intervention in the tin-producing states in the Malay Peninsula. British gunboat diplomacy was employed to bring about a peaceful resolution to civil disturbances caused by Chinese gangsters, and the Pangkor Treaty of 1874 paved the way for the expansion of British influence in Malaya. By the turn of the 20th century the states of Pahang,

Malaysia is NOT better without Singapore, but Singapore IS better without Malaysia.\nMalaysia had a chance to become a better country in the early '60s, when Lee Kuan Yew and the PAP were rallying the minorities of Malaysia to stand up and be counted.  But then, what did the Tunku do but tell S'pore that it had to go its own way...\nNow look at the two countries.  Everyone in S'pore, no matter what their race, stands equal before the law, has an equal chance for success, and lives in prosperity.  Malaysia has rampant poverty, and still to this day discriminates in favor of the Malay majority while marginalizing minority groups.  These are not characteristics of a civilized nation.\nSo, ask yourself: Who is better without whom?\n...but then again, I'm just an ignorant foreigner...right?
