Here are the short summaries from 3 people who read the book:
―As governments around the world are looking for better
ways to serve their people, why not develop e-centers that
are based on the concept of this book. The greatest strength
of these e-centers is that they are easy to use even for
people who are not Internet savvy. In addition, they
provide business opportunities for shop keepers who
operate these e-centers. Mr. Tan has truly come up with a
win-win solution for the government and the people.‖
— Dr. Tommy Wong (author of “Wisdom on How to
Live Life” )
―I liked the idea of shifting the burden of form data entry
from customers to government employees. We live in the
world that tries to become more and more efficient by
making people specialize in one or two particular activities.
Hence it's surprising that the government still wants us to
become experts in tax filing, medical insurance
reimbursements, i.e. things that would far more efficiently
done by experts.‖
— Dr.Vitali Zagarodnov, university professor
―The idea of using PDF format as a way of delivering
information is quite an interesting concept. Something
different from the usual HTML concept.‖
— Tan Boon Keng, I.T. security consultant

The link to the book don't seem to be working. When I click it, I get a msg which says the file is damaged and cannot be repaired.
ReplyDeleteHi yeokh
ReplyDeleteI have tried on Internet Explorer and Chrome browser. The book can be downloaded, without any problem.
Some people reported the same issue as you. The possible reasons are:
a) They use a different browser
b) They PDF reader is not working well.
Can you try with another computer or check with a friend? It seems that most people do not have any problem. If you still have problem, send email to kinlaiin@gmail.com.
Hi Mr Tan. I have no problems viewing pdf documents at your Ask Mr Tan website.
ReplyDeleteThe link to Bright Town however does not work on my desktop as well as my laptop.
I am using the Firefox browser for both.
Will try with IE and provide feedback about whether it works.
Cheers.

Tried with IE 8 on both my laptop and desktop. Same message of damaged file appeared. I suspect something wrong with my installed Adobe Reader since you have no problems.
ReplyDeleteWill try downloading from my mobile via wifi.

Managed to download to my Nokia cellphone. But lots of garbled characters when I opened up the pdf reader. Other pdf files read fine.
