Hello sabaidee all from ACT Australia

I believe Lao TV programs can improve, the best way Lao government or authority is the Broadcast field, is to have lot of programs similar to the one of Channel Disovery, because these programs provide many knowledges in many fields from Sciences to Nature....it must a Must Have Programs on Lao TV, so people do not have to watch tv from neighbouring country.

Put it this way Lao has to produce more document by lao people....with Digital Video Camera now I think it not too difficult or beyond lao people ability to do it. Just put resources and time to do it.

Things have good and bad side, the same rich countries and poor one, in developing countries, because of the system of ruling every single person is controlled by Social Security number, and Bank account, without these you are not in the system, or you live outside the main stream of that country, that' s why they have Department of Social Security, on the other hand poor countries, particularly the people of those poor countries or let say LAO, do not have a social security number or bank account but they could manage the day by day in as previous person describe, grow your own vegetables and find other means to survive , in the mean time in rich countries you could not do that., whether you have a job or you are unemployed and controlled by the Department of Social Security. So at the moment Lao government could encourage lao people to open a bank account so the people get to know with the way of life which First World countries or developing countries do have, so people get used to the idea ' that Keeping money in the bank is safer than keeping it at home'. Of course LAO still has plenty of things to do for improving people's life....so gradually people enjoy a better life in the future, that's no doubt is one of the main goal which Lao government always thinks about it.
