Merry x mas to all...
Nowadays, more and more companies implement CSR initiatives and one of them is my wife BPO company (wife dont want me to mention the Co name)
My wife works there as one of the 'key' and most VIP women there... (hehe over proud husband).
Every festive season a bunch of them will go visit some orphans, etc to spend time with them and give them presents... oh yeah its part of their KPIs... sheesh!
Well the thought that counts:)
This x mas they went to one of the homes in Taman Megah, Petaling Jaya that provide CARE to the elderly, physically challenged people and under priviledge kids.
My wife, Miss Renuka Shanmugam and her colleagues went as early as 8.30am to the centre and spend half a day chatting and just being with 'them' in the spirit of x mas.. (and maybe even for the KPIs)...
But ofcoz after a few hours spending time there Renuka and some of her friends cant stand and keep on crying after the officers there shared some of the 'stories' of the humans who have been staying there either by force or by 'chance'!
Renu cried expecially she saw a cute baby that was given away to the centre... the mother was a foreigner and had an affair with another foreigner and both 'parents' do not want the child for reasons of their own selfish thinking! Renu keep on sharing with me her 'experience' at the centre and i cant help thinking how much my 'baby' have matured and now CARE about 'strangers'! Im so very proud of her spending almost a whole day with 'them' instead of 24 7 worrying about her datelines in her projects at the Company...
But one of the thing that she told me is that the centre did not receive any support financially from the government except for some so called 'moral support' or what ever that means!
I still dont understand WHY the government not supporting them!
I told my wife that i will go there next week and 'interview' the centre manager for more inputs and i will find out more details and help them get somethings from the gov. InsyAllah..
merry x mas:)

GTP and the Driver's (PEMANDU) Driver!
The 1Malaysia Government Transformation Programme (GTP) Roadmap will be launched at the end of next month.
Performance Management and Delivery Unit (Pemandu) will 'release' the roadmap on Pemandu's website after getting feedback from the public on new ideas or conditions that the government was not aware of.... or 'blur' with!
Over 7,000 nationwide activities along with over 2,000 projects and 100 programmes identified for the six National Key Result Areas (NKRAs) are being showcased to the public at the GTP Open Day at the Sunway Convention Centre. The 1st day was dedicated ONLY to 'invited' NGOs and guest and the 2nd day for Rakyat!
I went for the 1st day as a 'gate crasher' and the 2nd day as an 'observer'.
First of all i dont undertand why the driver's driver or the CEO of PEMANDU descriminate the Rakyat by having the 'special' invitation NGOs and guest on the first day and the 'normal' public on the second day! i mean here we are on the spirit of 1 Malaysia and opennes bla bla bla and the first thing u do is to seperate the days by the invited guest and the tom dick and harry of malaysia!
There was a lot of public walk-ins anyways as there was no restrictions to enter the hall! so whats the point of having 2 seperate invitations where they should have simply a 2 Open day event for rakyat!
Back to the 1st day:
I was 'wearing two hats' that day... one: activist mindset for the elderly and the physically challenge community (Malaysian gov like to labeled them as OKU).... two:activist mindset to combat crime!
After a big launch done by a few VIPs (including ofcourse the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department and Chairman of pemandu, Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon; Chief Executive Officer of the Pemandu Board, Datuk Seri Idris Jala, and former Prime Minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi) i met the CEO and express my dissapointments to what have been missed by the think tank of the GTP.... there is no main agenda to make this country a dissabled friendly nation. ie the transportation masterplan did not include for malaysian public transport to be dissabled friendly and yet more 'so call smart card system' is being proposed, etc..
Of coz the think tank of GTP will defend by saying that the plan today may have certain imperfections which will need amendments.... BUT my point is that to CARE for the elderly and the physically challenge community is not a rocket science for it not to be included and displayed on the first place!
2nd day:
I saw lots of bloggers, media and general public were there and nice of the CEO to give unexpected impromtu speech. I might say it was good and full of sincerity in his face!
But one thing for sure ... sincerity and good intention alone without a good master plan and a good implementation process is just simply an empty hope!
So lets work together to make Malaysia the best country for our own sake!

Malaysia Government Best Practices Version 2.0
"The Government is willing to be evaluated" the Prime Minister said.
The six NKRAs — reducing crime, fighting corruption, widening access to affordable and quality education, raising the living standards of the poor, and improving infrastructure and public transportation — were announced in July -09.
(more stories do go to http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2009/12/14/nation/5299146&sec=nation)
To gets things done is frankly as simple as repairing roads, etc..
Below are simple solutions for the 6 major elements of CHANGE:
No.1 Reducing Crimes:
a. patrol police officers to be on alert for robbers and snatchers instead of 'traffic offenders'!
b. more pondok police with police officers in it and not just empty pondok!
c. snathers/robbers to be lock up and not able for easy release by the police stations
Note: is personal now as my wife was rob at a traffic light near one utama! the robbers smash her passesnger car window and took the handbag and tried to get in but my wife accelerated and hit a car infront coz the robber to panic and fled)
anyway..
No.2 Fighting Corruption:
yeah rite! nice try
No.3 Widening access to affordable and quality education:
gov have done good by no more fees and text books is free now...
on the quality of our education systems... a serious study need to be done to develop a ONE unique and yet best education system for malaysian young to be ready for globalisation!
No.4 Raising the living standards of the poor:
For goodness sake we have wasted enough of tax payers money by doing stupid things ie spending hundred of millions on sporting events, etc
Its time to set up a Social Resposible UNIT in all government link companies and start implementing good programms for the less fortunate...
teaching on survival independence is always better than just giving money and rice!
No.5 Improving infrastructure:
maintain ... maintain!
No.6 Improving Public transportation:
PLEASE CARE FOR THE PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED HUMAN BEINGS (malaysian gov like to label as OKU)
so now ... what more waiting...start doing something and stop being consultants with good slides only!
