Citizen Thinktank

I received an e mail from md.dashirul about THE RISE OF THE EMPOWERED CITIZEN.

The Citizen ThinkT@nk is an internet-based strategy to achieve the Vision of Knowledge Democracy through the following missions:

1. Ordinary citizens will be able to rate and review the performance of their elected representatives, so that transparency and accountability of politicians in Malaysia can be significantly increased

2. Ordinary citizens will be able to voice their opinion or post ideas for public policy development, so that only policies that are fully deliberated, discussed and endorsed by the community will be implemented by the government

3. Ordinary citizens who have contributed significantly to the society have a chance to stand for the general election, which is currently dominated by mainstream political parties.
