It's true, sadly Pakistan didn't have a photocopier machine.

But Park Geun Hye, also led socio-economic reforms to uplift the poorest of society.

What do you mean by photocopier?

What do you mean by photocopier?

Its a joke that Pakistan gave S. Korea their Economic Plan but forgot to make a copy of it.

S. Korea implemented the economic plans of Pakistan but also included social reforms. Where as Pakistan did neither.

I have heard before that South Korea in the sixties modelled its development in Pakistan.

Korea did send in delegates to view/examined how Pakistan modeled its businesses and companies. Rest is history they became Tigers in real sense, and we got side tracked.

> We missed the boat on Electronics revolution (60's-70's)
> We missed the boat on Computer & Chip manufacturing(90's-2000)
> We missed the boat on Mechanical/Auto Manufacturing (70's-80's)
> We don't have grasp of Mobile hardware manufacturing (2000-Present)
> We have no understanding of Nano Technology and various other development composites

While yes there is a base in Military sense , but the private sector is quite poor
