Inexperienced politicians made Ministers should attend management workshops

Image
  Over the years, my experience with different ministers teach me an important lesson that will help the sitting prime minister have a cabinet of ministers who can problem solvers, rather than those who are only   kaki bodek.   I won't mention names but I want to show that, if if ministers are selected from people, whose entire career is in politics, they are not good problem solvers.  There are of course, some exceptions, I would say especially those who have a heart for the people, who would look for a solution, regardless of what.  If they do not any management experience, frankly, I think they should attend workshops on management, if the Prime Minister wants to have a cabinet of problem-solvers.  Three Bad Examples I will only mention two bad examples so that politiicians can see and learn from the way how things were done by them, compared to say, something a good manager would do to solve a particular problem. A few years ago, I remember having to de...

Menteri Pengangkutan, di mana reform ke atas KTMB?

Image
Kita perlu pastikan KTMB dirombak sebelum budaya kerja teruk sehingga menjadi seperti di sesetengah negara. Itu sebab MRT /LRT/ ECRL tidak boleh disatukan di bawah penyeliaan KTMB Sejak tahun 2005 lagi, saya telah mula mempromosikan penggunaan keretapi Komuter kepada pelajar-pelajar institusi pendidikan tinggi (IPT) tapi sehingga kini, nampaknya sikap dan budaya kerja KTMB masih tak berubah langsung.  Kalau dulu, memang krew TV3 ikut saya untuk membuat highlight tentang perkhidmatan yang dialami setiap hari oleh pelanggan setiap hari seperti tren lambat sampai atau kadang-kadang kami diberitahu perjalanan tren terpaksa ditangguhkan kerana rosak. Lepas itu, pandai-pandailah cari cara pergi kerja sendiri, naik bas atau ambil teksi itu masalah pelanggan sendiri kerana tren rosak dan tidak ada tren penggantinya. Begitulah masalah-masalah yang dihadapi oleh pelanggan KTMB dulu dan sekarang juga. Sikap kakitangan KTMB harus berubah sekarang. Jika tidak KTMB akan terus ketinggalan. Janga...

Dah sedia maklum pun, tapi politik pembangkang ni nampaknya lebih membebankan rakyat

  Dapatkah anda nampak logo myRFID? Budaya korporat hari ini tidak lagi beroperasi seperti dahulu. Apabila aduan dibangkitkan di media massa, syarikat-syarikat sering kali tidak memberikan maklum balas atau penjelasan. Ini menimbulkan persoalan serius sama ada Litrak benar-benar bertanggungjawab kepada sesiapa. Apa yang lebih buruk adalah apabila pelbagai maklum balas negatif diterima daripada orang ramai yang menceritakan bagaimana organisasi tersebut merosot dari buruk ke lebih teruk, selepas Litrak dijual oleh Gamuda Berhad kepada Amanat Lebuhraya Berhad (ALB). Ia mengendalikan Lebuhraya Damansara Puchong (LDP), yang mana saya sendiri menghadapi masalah di lorong RFID di plaza tol Sri Damansara. Saya percaya ramai pembaca saya juga menghadapi masalah yang sama dengan lorong RFID. Bagi kebanyakan orang, hanya terdapat SATU lorong RFID dan ia sering dibelenggu masalah kereta yang terpaksa mengundur. Apa yang sepatutnya bertujuan untuk perjalanan lancar kini tiba-tiba menjadi isu y...

By the way, it has always been like this, but opposition politics probably make things more difficult for the rakyat

  Can you spot RFID logo here? Corporate culture today no longer operates as it once did. When complaints are raised in the press, companies often do not even respond with clarifications. This raises a serious question as to whether Litrak is truly accountable to anyone. What's worse is when all sorts of negative feedback is received from people who tell how the organisation has gone from bad to worse, after Litrak was sold off by Gamuda Berhad to Amanat Lebuhraya Berhad (ALB). It operates Lebuhraya Damansara Puchong (LDP), which I encountered an issue with the RFID lane at Sri Damansara toll plaza.  I believe many of my readers also encounter the same problem with the RFID lane. For most people, there is only ONE lane with RFID and it is often plaque with issues of cars which had to be reversed.  What is supposed to be meant for seamless travel now suddenly becomes an issue that has been highlighted in the press once, let alone not even a single reply was received from L...

Time for DAP to do some soul-searching

Image
I  feel that I have to speak up after my bad experience with a senior politician from the DAP, a party that I have trusted and voted for for the past 40 years.  This was mainly because of one DAP leader Dr Tan Seng Giaw whom I respect a lot for helping residents of Kepong, although he did not get much coverage from the media. Instead, his opponent from MCA Yee Poh Ping would, with the help of some officers from DBKL, always stole the limelight even though it was Dr Tan who managed to solve the problem for the residents.  For example, when I highlighted about the poor condition of the playground in Jinjang, and DBKL refurbished it, instead of giving Dr Tan the credit (my job was only to highlight, but he had already spoken to the Mayor much earlier to have the budget allocated for), but the newspaper highlighted Yee's appearance along with DBKL officers claiming all the credit. That's why I never liked MCA.  Instead, I used to contact Dr Tan for the latest news so th...
