Apparently some readers did personally highlighted to me on the frequency of my postings so that the reader's interest could be cultivated and keep as momentum.
Whatever it is, i cannot help but post this 2nd part on what i think has happened in Malaysia. ( otherwise, ideas / words shall fade away )
Malaysia: Land of technical know-who instead of technical know-how.
I have an opinion that the best case to illustrate the exact definition of the notion technical know how is the case of National Feedlot Corporation ( NFC ).
Picture credit : News Straits Times / Google.
I don't know how far the above notion took place and occurred in Malaysia, but from a simple observation on Malaysia's economic industry, be it on macro or micro levels, one could find the notion is practically existed in nature.
What is meant by technical know-who ? What is then technical know-how ?
Well, i don't know who created such jargon or terms but it refer to the situation of knowledge. In real world, there are two kinds of knowledge, whether you know the required knowledge / information / skills for the job or you know the required person needed for you to be approved and get the contract.
Have you been in that situation before ? You are trying to fight for a contract, preparing all the necessary documents, getting all the required skilled workers and team, alas, the job went to another weaker team that happen to has an "affiliated relationship" with a person in the approval board.
Or you might want to highlight another case that you might know / aware of. Similar facts where it was open tender for a government jobs and scores of companies and parties went for the tender briefing session, site visit session, purchase the tender documents and after a while, the job went to a company that sometimes, nobody ever heard of. After bit of research, one shall realized the fact that the directors of the said company is known to have "affiliated relationship" with certain people with authority.
Be it government or private sectors, this notion is happening. For Real. The effect ?
Only those who has good company with those properly positioned in strategic seats, be it corporate / public administration / non-governmental organization , that are able to score jobs and doing business per se.
Others ? the small fry ? waiting for the balance of the cake to be "distributed" by the good company.
What is the real effect of this towards our nation ?
LOSS OF REAL INTEREST IN BUILDING THE COUNTRY.
BRAIN DRAIN. EXCELLENT PEOPLE WENT TO SEEK BETTER PASTURES OVERSEAS.
CORRUPTION / NEPOTISM.
THIS HAS TO STOP !!
This is not an allegation towards any body. This is simply a proposition of my notion on what is happening in our country. Remember, you as readers might agree or disagree with my writings. You have your own right to believe whatever being said/told or wrote in here.
