There are few things to touched in this discussion:- Bamboo is a fast-growing plant which can grow up to 1 meter in 24 hours.
- Actually there are about 10% of our forest is bamboo.
- We need engineers to help in the process of havest, where it is difficult to access the old bamboo that surrounded by new bamboo which grow at the outside layer of bamboo cluster.
- We need engineers too to perserve the bamboo.
- The role of BIG in the contribution to APEX program is that we will never follow others, but lead.
- Bamboo can be used in medical field, for example, to cure Epilepsy.
According to En.Wan, there are people who not willing to see us to build up our big dome. I wonder why they do so. Maybe because they cannot accept the reality of disaster 2012 or what, I don't know. What I know is that I will never let them set us down. They will never be the reason for us to stop working.
*Failure is not an option
*We are who we are waiting for
