I also wonder when some malaysian “who wonder about other malaysian to be as hardworking and innovative as the white” will be as hardworking and innovative as the white.

asran says: malaysian are equally smart & efficient & innovative & hardworking just like the white..we just are not well funded & supported…thts all bro..the only difference between malaysians & white. Who to blame? we all are to be blamed.

MITI and JPJ has yet to support the existance of low budget green vehicles in Malaysia. So what shoud I do? Well I have a nice electric bicycle still stuck in a bonded warehouse in Malaysia.

The benefit will be endless. What if they use the blue-ray laser? More power..hehehe. The laser replacement will need to endure heat and residue build-up on the laser emitter.

They'd probably already thought of this but as the technology is still in its infancy, they might not be able to do this yet. As an optical ignition method, has the benefit of being able to manipulate the beam via micro mirrors, and lenses, leading to a very simple multipoint ignition system and possibly a staged igition sequence from within the combustion chamber itself. No more multiple spark plugs. Mark my words. You will end up with direct injection systems that runs even leaner and cleaner. I think we are missing a HUGH the benefits of this.
