LET me start by paying tribute to the late Tan Sri P. Ramli whose birthday was last week. His songs and movies consoled many of our hearts when we were students overseas, especially during the cold winter.
If he were still alive today he would be a very rich man because every time his film is shown and his song aired, he would collect royalties or fees arising from his ownership of such works (or assets). Unfortunately, he died much too early to benefit from the reawakening to the importance of intellectual properties and assets now.
