The insult...

Scenario: you have been a partner in a coalition of parties that make up the ruling government of the day. Due to unfavourable circumstances, your party had a fallout with the majority party, and are mulling pulling out of the coalition.


And here's what your senior party members call you: Parti Perosak!

Have I lost the ability to blog?

Seriously... these few days the quality of my blog postings has deteriorated to a level where even I am ashamed to read my own blog!


Am I really that terrible nowadays? I don't have the inspiration to write anything meaningful. Not to mention the current crackdown on bloggers who even hint on anything remotely related to the political scene in Malaysia.

And added with the many things occupying my brain such as the house renovation, travel for work, Buddhist assignment project which I have not even started anything yet, etc.

So isn't is forgivable that I've not updated this blog with anything worth reading? :P

Holiday...

I can't wait for my holiday :)

It'll be in a place of tranquility...

Where I can just sit around and do nothing and pamper myself...

LRT in Subang Jaya? No Thanks!

Do we really need LRT in Subang Jaya? What's wrong with a good and reliable buses and taxis? This is starting to look more and more like a money milking machine, rather than a proper public transportation system...


Saya bantah kaw kaw!!

Zimbabwe

Why is my headline today about an African country thousands of kilometers away from my homeland?


Well, it's not hard to draw parallels. I don't think I need to elaborate any further. Just look at how the international community is looking at my country today.

It sucks...

Dealing with incompetence...

What happens when you have to deal with incompetence? Not just incompetent people, but incompetent organizations, incompetent processes - just pure incompetence everywhere you go?

Frustration sets in, knowing that you can't do much about it. Sure you can intervene for a temporary solution. But once you get out, the situation returns to status quo. No improvement takes place. All your hard work goes to zero and the cycle starts all over again.

Incompetent people get on your nerves because they cannot do anything, and can't seem to learn anything.

Incompetent organizations screw you by doing things which go against your very wishes, e.g. installing useless CEO's.

Incompetent processes destroy the foundation of a properly working organization, cause frustration, and breed incompetent people and organizations.

Incompetent people, organizations and processes contribute to the increasing incompetence in the world.

Aaaaaaarrrghhh!!!!

Some things to consider...

When building a modern kitchen, it's common to ask ourselves what we want to install for our cooking area. Typically, nowadays we want a combination of cooker hood, gas hob and built in oven. The problem is, I have zero knowledge on these things! So how to choose the correct product?

This is how we spend our money...

Out of an annual budget of RM200 billion, almost 75% is purely operational. What this means is that we only have RM50 billion to pump into development, foreign investment, and social welfare. A cursory glance at the trend graph below shows that in just 10 years, operational expenditure has increased by 300%, indicating the critical degree of inefficiency and bloat in the government today.

We need to see a break down of this RM150 billion, to identify where this money really goes to!

Break...

I need a break...
