Help Bring About Changes

  This is intended to be a memorandum than a blog. Maybe boring. If you want to read the blog it is here .  1 . TUJUAN Memorandum ini bertujuan mengemukakan cadangan transformasi model rondaan Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) daripada Model Rondaan Bergerak Tradisional kepada Model Zon & Respons Pantas (Sector-Based Patrol System). Inisiatif ini memfokuskan kepada peningkatan keberkesanan operasi dan pengoptimuman kos bahan api. 2 . LATAR BELAKANG Model sedia ada melibatkan rondaan kenderaan secara berterusan yang menyumbang kepada kos bahan api yang tinggi. Berdasarkan model kepolisan di bandaraya global (seperti NYPD di New York), keberkesanan sistem keselamatan lebih bergantung kepada penempatan strategik kenderaan peronda di zon tetap yang membolehkan respons pantas terhadap panggilan kecemasan. 3. CADANGAN PELAKSANAAN Anggota dan unit peronda dicadangkan untuk ditempatkan secara statik di lokasi strategik (fixed posts) seperti: • Titik Panas (Hotspots): Kawasan tumpuan a...

I am writing with tongue-in-cheek to prompt the DAP leadership to do some serious re-thinking about their decision whether to remain or stay out of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's cabinet.  Giving the prime minister to deliver reforms within six months was a convenient way to pass on the blame to the prime minister after the defeat of the DAP in Sabah.  Anthony Loke would likely have already been part of the DAP during the period when the party, led by its two stalwarts Lim Kit Siang and Karpal Singh, suffered a major setback in the Tenth General Election in 1999. That election marked one of the most humiliating defeats in DAP’s history, as both leaders—long regarded as politically invincible—were unseated in the constituencies they contested: Karpal Singh as Chairman and Lim Kit Siang as DAP Secretary-General. DAP has a history of withdrawing from the coalition Barisan Alternatif that they joined. In the context of marriage, DAP has to learn that a marriage vow includes "For ...

Ruslin Hassan, 7th mayor of Kuala Lumpur, currently a politician with Bersatu. On the right is Nga Kor Ming, Minister of Housing & Local Government MANY YEARS  ago, I recall former Kuala Lumpur mayor Ruslin Hassan allocating RM1 million to build a public toilet in Bandar Menjalara.            To this day, I haven’t visited the facility, but I have heard it is in poor condition. Unfortunately, such facilities are often not maintained adequately, as many Malaysians fail to care for the public amenities provided to them.           Vandalism remains a significant issue, one that the current Minister of Housing and Local Government, Nga Kor Ming, is undoubtedly aware of.            Spending RM1 million on a so-called “millionaire’s toilet” stands as a glaring example of how public funds can be misused at the whims of politicians.           From my perspec...

  THERE IS an important lesson to learn from here.  There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done. - Charles R. Swindoll            The names of the people concerned and the agencies they represent are removed, so as not to cause any embarrassment. Unless the agency is consistently "bad"; otherwise, I maintain general courtesy to protect their identity. Generally, I must say, these three agencies are quite good with their quality of service.  Big Elephants in the Room           For eight months to a year, a few gigantic pipes had been abandoned at a certain location. These are the "big...
