 In a recent interview to a business daily in Pakistan, you had expressed confidence in Siemens Pakistan and its ability to weather the financial crisis. The first quarter results have proved you right. Do you see this trend extending to the rest of the year and to what would you attribute this success?

 There is a revolution in the making in rural Bangladesh, with computer-based information being brought within easy access of far-flung communities.In Bangladesh, the poor do not generally have access to current information resources. They do not own TV or radio and cannot buy newspapers. Owing to low literacy, they do not have adequate access to government extension services like ICT kiosks or telecenters which have proved to be successful in various parts of the world and have helped in bridging the social, economic and information gap.

 Out of some 6.6 billion men, women, and children now living on earth, every fourth proclaims there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. This belief makes them Muslims - those who consciously and willingly submit to their Creator.
Muslims believe the Quran is the last revealed Book, sent by Allah to guide humanity to the Straight Path. However, The Quran is in classical Arabic, a language that only 15 percent of all Muslims today speak as their mother tongue. And even within this segment, knowledge of classical Arabic is rapidly deteriorating. As far as the non-Arabic speaking majority is concerned, only about 8 to 10 per cent have knowledge of classical Arabic. This means that, at best, only 20 percent of Muslims now understand the language of the primary source of their religion.
