Saudi Arabia Commenced Building World’s Tallest Building

News Analysis:  Saudi Arabia commenced building its “Kingdom Tower”, a 1,000 plus meter high structure containing more than 200 [estimated] floors. The Project, led by Saudi Arab Visionary Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal, Chairman of Kingdom Holding Company, is scheduled to be completed in a little over five years.

A Project of this Scope requires: Foresight, Technical Experience, Skilled Labor, and Capital. The Process of Selection of Experts for a undertaking of this size requires an  International Matrix of people who can perform their expertise in coordination with others. It takes someone of the Prince’s ability to properly choose those Corporations and  individuals.

Since “Kingdom Tower” is ‘State-of-the-Art’ in many Design, Engineering, Materials, and Construction aspects, the lessons learned from it will have Global Construction Benefits. 

Saudi Arabia and its Leaders should be very proud both of the Project itself, as well as it being a testament to their fortitude in proceeding forth with this Innovative Engineering Masterpiece.

Indonesia Closer to Achieving Rice Sufficiency

News Analysis: The government, under President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, took preemptive action towards increasing rice production to thwart the need for its importation. Due to his forward thinking, this goal is very close to being realized. Only when a country’s leaders have the foresight, as is the case in Indonesia,  to remove impediments to crop production, will that occur; procrastination by leaders accomplishes nothing.
