Siapa kata orang UMNO Tasek Gelugor buta?

Siapa berani kata orang UMNO Tasek Gelugor buta? buta mata?! buta perut atau buta hati? Hari ini (6 Januari 2010) tiada siapa perlu berkata-kata kerana sememangnya bukti terpampang di depan mata. Klik sini dan sini

Tidak perlu kita membicarakan soal perkara Mahkamah takut-takut dituduh subjudis atau menghina Mahkamah. Hakikatnya laporan berkisar kahwin cerai selalunya adalah sebab kehadiran orang ketiga (dalam kes ini 10!) Manakan tidak hancur hati seorang isteri bila menyedari suaminya bermain kayu tiga. Tapi itulah 'manis' bermadu, si isteri jadi dungu, si suami mesti pandai temberang dan menipu. sigh.

Cukup sedih penyakit sosial bangsa Melayu tatkala kita menuju dekad baru. Tapi yang lebih menyedihkan apabila watak-watak sebegini di angkat dan di tatang sebagai pemimpin untuk memimpin akar umbi. Siapa yang patut dipersalahkan? Sang Datuk yang kepingin pangkat dan kemasyhuran atau perwakilan yang taksub mengejar kekayaan? (rasuah politik).

Hari ini bukan sahaja wibawa Datuk dipertikai di hadapan Mahkamah malah yang lebih menyedihkan setiap pekung perwakilan UMNO tahun 2008 yang telah menyalahgunakan 'kuasa' yang di amanahkan kepada mereka oleh ahli ahli cawangan.  Begitu mudah perwakilan mengangkat Datuk sebagai seorang pemimpin mereka hatta kerana mengaut sekelumit keuntungan. Masih jelas lagi di memori, tatkala disebut nama Datuk memenangi kerusi jawatankuasa bahagian dan kerusi G7, namanya disorak gembira oleh para penyokong dan perwakilan yang sudah mendapat habuan. Inilah yang terus menjadi tradisi UMNO di Bahagian, sebut saja nama berpangkat 'Datuk", perwatakan menarik, bermulut manis, senang menghulur habuan maka terus popular dan menarik perhatian perwakilan. Tidak siapa pula yang mengkaji siapa gerangannya, mana asalnya, apa pekerjaannya dan paling penting mampukah dia memikul tanggungjawab perjuangan bangsa?

Sayang, perwakilan UMNO Bahagian waktu itu ibarat tiada satu jauhari yang mengenal manikamnya.

Hari ini sebenarnya mereka mereka ini yang telah memilih orang seperti Datuk memimpin bahagian patut berasa lebih malu dan bersalah bukan hanya pada diri sendiri malah pada seluruh anak bangsa yang meletakkan tanggungjawab memilih pemimpin di bahu  mereka. Kenanglah kesilapan ini buat pengajaran di masa hadapan

The Malays are good merchants as well!

On few occasion, we discussed how to bring in more younger generation especially Malays to get involved in business as it's obvious most of young brilliant Malays preferred a more secured job whether in corporate, government sector or as professionals. These Yuppies (young under paid professionals :p) would rather take time on their own rather than risk themselves in business and lose everything. It's also obvious, business world is not something being inculcate within us from our younger years thus sometimes (or most of the time) it's tough to put a foot in the business world mostly dominated by non Malays.

It's not frustrating but I believe it's a challenge for all of us to prove that Malays too are good merchants as we used to be (Remember Pusat Perdagangan in Melaka!).

Obviously when we are not together due to different business field, the Malays don't consult each other for advice and stuff. Typically, Malays entrepreneur face the same problem i.e. bank loans, grant, opportunities and network yet these problems can't be solved due to inexperience and incompetence. Hence, the idea to regroup and present ourselves as young Malays entrepreneurs is imminent.

By participating into the business group @ bisnis club, we ought to share experiences, contacts, networking as well as understanding our potential. We may even go deeper by collaborating in business fields that we have common expertise and connections.(Which I assume we have many).

We are like 'rough diamond' yet to be polished. What we need now is a good 'De Beers' to create value to ourselves. Whether a 'black diamond' approach or genuine dealings, we must work together making sure 'diamonds are forever' in everybody's hand. :)

(I hope my 'contoh berkias' reaches you)

I have been in FMCG long enough (4 years) to experience successful non Malays traders built their business overtime. It took them maybe 30 years to become what they are today. Unfortunately, in the last 30 years, we have built only few Malay millionaire whom in return would create more opportunities to other Malay businessmen yet they failed to make their promise only to the reason known to them.

Yes, we need the 'tongkat' but we need to use it wisely so that the 'tongkat' also stick others rather than cane them.

Something for us, malay to ponder.

I got the opportunity to attend a dinner function organised by PRIMAS (Persatuan Restoren India Malaysia) in Subang Jaya. Turnout was massive by the Indians showing their support to the association that represented them.

Guest of honour was DPM himself who was late due to budget hearing at the August House. However the function went through as planned. This was a typical fund raising dinner which attract sponsors and affiliates in the industry yet the support show for the event was impressive.

In a subtle way, the association also putting their best to show to the govt that they is honourably protecting and promoting indian cuisine and fellow indians restaurant operator. Hence the govt must only deal with PRIMAS.

I believe we (read: the Malays) can learn a bit or two about being in association that represent ourselves in dealing with govt. Perhaps we should look beyond political influence when dealing with the real deal (read: business). This is the only way for us to be more competitive in the business world. Put a side self interest and for the sake of bumi businessman, let us stop whining and have a real thought for a while...
