For this to happen, we first need to invest in public/pedestrian friendly infrastructure. With limited resources, can we really afford metro buses? Perhaps an alternative would be to first invest in cheaper alternatives, a network of busses. #PakThink

One simple way for our out of touch rich to understand the problems of the poor & empathise with them is to ban motorcars from city centres, so rich uncles & aunties r forced to walk, take public transport, cross roads, rest in parks, eat in roadside restaurants & shop fm thelas



How can we have walkable cities with 45 degrees temperature? What’s the solution? #pakthink


Synergy of bureaucrats economist sociologists historians produces an exceptional developmental experience for any country and so will it for Pakistan some day. #Pakthink

Does good bureaucracy lead to better economic performance? OR Does economic performance lead to more professional bureaucracy? Anyone can answer except economists and bureaucrats. Bcz bureaucrats wl blame economists. And economists will blame bureaucrats. #PakThink



What did we get by banning Wikipedia? Not that we produce high quality papers in academic journals anyway, that we banned the biggest free source of information on the web. #PakThink #wikipediaBlocked


Every student in high schools & universities shd be trained as an entrepreneur. It does not mean everyone will do business. Though millions need to do! Entrepreneurial skill is all about decision making, risks and finding solutions of problems. Everyone should learn it. #PakThink


I wish our people thought on these lines #pakthink

Many get worried after our currency depreciates. What we really need to worry about? Our investment to GDP ratio is too low (15%). Our public debt isn't sustainable. We r not producing skilled labor force. Our regulatory/policy inefficiencies r hindering entrepreneurship.

No democracy without democratic political parties and local governments! #PakThink #PakCities


Why is #Pakistan lagging behind internationally in every field & sector? No eagerness & curiosity to learn among both students and professionals/policymakers! Knowledge=Innovation=Growth #PakThink


4) toll plazas no longer have dedicated lanes for trucks n buses n cars 5) nobody around to deal with belligerent drivers who refuse to pay!! & thus create unnecessary Qs & chaos ensues…. #nayapakistan #pakthink #motorway HAVE A SAFE JOURNEY

Why do we make work env for young ppl so stressful? Noticed it in many public/private orgs in Pak that they dnt care abt mental/physical health of their young colleagues.Many think its ok to expect the young ones to be stressed and not caring for work-life balance. #PakThink



Politics in Pakistan is about the money in your bank. Educated youth has brilliant ideas, but is broke. How can this lot first break the wheel and reconstruct it, to enter politics in the first place? #PakThink

Educated youth interested in politics should join the game as politicians instead of bashing and supporting politicians on twitter.



Most of the universities in Pak waste time & money of students during 4 year undergrad degrees. The content can be taught in 6 months. No intellectual, professional and social grooming. Students dnt know how to apply for a grad degree or how to write a job application. #PakThink


Become an innovative and responsible #entrepreneur to serve and defend the country! #PakThink


#pakthink only infrastructure #Lahorerawalpindi #motorway V were proud of is disastrous now 1) roadworks with no warning signage of lane closure or reduced speed limit 2) no 🛣 police patrol to check lane violation by Big buses,3) cars coming the wrong way out of exits 1/2


Our intellectual travel might take 💯 years to see such an inspiring change where an elected prime minister baking herself for her political campaign volunteers.#pakthink

the Bankster families. Banking is an economic component, not the other way around!! Capital must be used to benefit the economy rather than the economy being used to benefit the banks. 3/3 #PakThink

#ChatGPT gives almost similar prescriptions as given by development economists. Is it supernacy of development economists or the end of development economists? #EconTwitter #PakThink

Discuss macro numbers on twitter and never discuss or understand micro foundations of the economy. Dnt raise big questions on economic & social fundamentals. Never discuss oppertunities to grow the economy. Rule book to become a popular economist in Pakistan! #PakThink


We have been doing austerity, bans and controls. What we have not been doing? Enhancing oppertinities for people to be more productive and competitive. We all want to read why nations fail but we dnt read books that tell us why nations thrive. #PakThink

My decision to ban import of luxury items will save the country precious foreign exchange. We will practice austerity & financially stronger people must lead in this effort so that the less privileged among us do not have to bear this burden inflicted on them by the PTI govt.

Law-breaking & violence is normal in Pakistan to deal with social, religious, domestic, property and political issues. This is the main feature of a tribal society that does not have a modern state with a monopoly of violence and the capability to establish rule of law. #PakThink

Who wants to live in a class based, regressive, patriarchal, economically failed state/society? #PakThink


A friend of mine recently forwarded a job advrt as it perfectly matches my profile and said make sure you have a political reference. That friend works in same organisation at senior level. #pakthink


Why educated and talented women want to leave Pakistan? I can see this trend is increasing rapidly. The number may be minimal now but has an increasing trend. Lets not get into size of this segment but focus on the question I posed even if the number is quite small. #PakThink


Everyone talks about current account deficit and fiscal deficit. No one talks about learning deficit in Pakistan. #PakThink

This is how China developed. Check the KPIs of the lowest tier of bureaucracy. What are KPIs of city officials in #PakCities? Need to steer our city administrations to play more proactive role in economic development. #PakThink
