By
The MDT website mdt.gov.tt has a form for submitting ideas. I submitted my ideas in the form of this blog post. The following are the ideas that I have that come to mind. I encourage you to share your ideas with them also.

  • Track next bus and pay fare with app
  • Encouraged use of FOSS by government, private sector and public
  • TATT approval for Starlink satellite internet
  • Work with Paypal to make it officially supported locally
  • Make work from home the norm
  • Tech as a core subject like Maths and English
  • Etextbooks
  • A local developer survey
  • Text to donate system
  • Encourage hackathons and participation
  • Mandate all government bodies to provide at least 10 open data sources
  • Tech labs as described in my video https://youtu.be/Zqy47JXtDLI
  • Locally developed workflow platform for the government
  • Public tech education campaigns
  • Make Tobago and Trinidad remote work destinations
  • IoT flood alert sensors
  • Plan and action to hasten IPv6 adoption
  • Experimental CBDC
  • Laptops for students who cannot afford
  • Independent reviews and testing of government software, apps, web apps, services
  • Cheaper 15 Mbps internet package for low income households from the ISPs
  • Mandatory job posting database
  • Tourist feedback app
*I think they should list out the problems when asking for ideas because our experiences and perspectives are limited. Most of the problems out there we might not be aware of because it has not touched our realm. I might have more ideas to contribute if I knew what the problems were. Also, as pointed out to me, we should be matching ideas against a vision, goals and objectives.

Faith

By
This is a chapter from my latest book called (G)rains (o)f san(d)s. Learn more about the book here . Thank you God for faith. We say we want to meet God but we already do in some ways. We meet God in his creation. We meet God every time we meet someone. We meet God every time we meet the animals. We meet God every time we meet nature. God is all around. Faith is when we can see this. This is God's world. We are God's work. We are testimony of his greatness. Everyday that goes by I think about God. Everyday I thank God for his mercy. I take my problems to God. I pray to God. God is at the center of my life. Nothing happens without the will of God and therefore I would be wise to submit to the will of God. God is in the everyday moments. God loves when we love. What is the simplest definition of faith? I think it is found in the phrase, let go and let God. I asked my friend the same question. My friend says that at its simplest, faith is trust in what you cannot see or prove. But...

Softness

By
This is a chapter from my latest book called (G)rains (o)f san(d)s. Learn more about the book here . Thank you God for softness. The gentleness of prayer. The calmness of the heart. The patience of the mind. The soft sounds of nature. The cool breezes of shade. The slow movement of sand in the hand. The kindness of strangers. The soothing voices of Quran. The warm embrace of the azan. I move through life with softness in my heart. I move through life with joy. I move through life wishing good for others. There is a peace that comes with being soft. The angels surround those who are soft. Soft like the winds of heaven. Soft like the clouds in the sky. Easy like Friday morning. May I never lose this softness that allows me to see beauty and goodness in everything and everyone. The world tries to harden me but I refuse. I walk upon the earth softly. I love without fear. My every breath is a prayer of gratitude. Let my heart remain like grains of sand in the hands of God that are softly he...

Light

By
This is a chapter from my latest book called (G)rains (o)f san(d)s. Learn more about the book here . Thank you God for light. The Quran is the light of mankind. The Quran is the light of this life. The Quran is the delight of the heart. God is the source of this light. The Quran is a miracle. God shine your light on my path and bring ease with it. Though I may struggle on your path, let me keep returning to where your light shines. What do I notice by looking at the word light? G stands in the middle of light. G for God. One side we have li for life and on the other side we have ht which is short for hayat or life in Arabic. I am almost through reading the English Quran for a second time. Today I passed surah 61 verse 6 which states that Jesus had announced the coming of the prophet (peace be upon him). That verse stood out to me out of all the verses I have read so far. Muhammad (pbuh) was the one tasked with bringing the light of the Quran for mankind. I just noticed that the end of ...
