WHAT WE LEARNED…



Donot Expect Everything From The Government…



Laws, Regulations,… Are Not Sufficient To Create The Desirable Conditions/Results…



Cultural Background is the Essential Item…



Therefore, Knowledge Gained From Experiences Should Be Kept And Accumulated To Build Up The Culture…

THIS IS WHY USIMP WAS ESTABLISHED?
