When a tense meeting ends with a smiling faces...
Yesterday i had a 2 hour meeting with the ministry of tourism with regards to me being a 'pain' of wanting my voice heard...
(for those who not been following my blog im refering to the ministry giving me notice in writing 2 days b4 the balloon fiesta saying...good luck by theway no money for u!)
The meeting is also join by a representative from PEMUDAH and PUBLIC COMPLAINTS BUREAU respectively. They were there as an observer to my 'yapping':)
I must say that I was very happy with the way the meeting was chaired and conducted... ofcoz there are tense moments as all i guess think that im a lunatic goon.. BUT it all went very smooth...infact, silky smooth... intead of being a mad lunatic i went there being a yoga master or frankly i was master jedi YODA:)
Both parties, my self representing the organising committee of the fiesta and the tourism ministry have our own points to address... and all noted... hope they give me a copy of their version of the minutes of meeting tho...
During the long meeting.... i remember there was one question thrown at me if i would want to stop and stand down for the sake of having a continuous relationship with the ministry and 'its' people (since i'm in the MICE industry for 15 years now)..
Actually i was really waiting for a right time for 'them' to know bit about me and what ive done in 15 years other than just running companies..
I told them that it was never in my intention to be a pain to anyone or to create enemies... i do not have enemies and ill be a fool to create enemies with the government ... BUT if there are issues that need to bring attention .. I WILL BE THERE DEMANDING FOR AN ANSWER AND A SOLUTION!
I was sharing with them my journeys in making a clear and fair path for entrepreneur
that have merits do their biz in Malaysia:
1. conference was not claimable under the HRDF scheme till 1.5 years ago... now conference can be claimable as this is important if the nation serious of building a knowledge society.
NO ENEMY.. in fact the ministry n the industry gained a lot after the 'change'
2. miti under midf/smidec/matrade focusing their grants to SMI (factory owners) when they should focus nuturing the mass 90% industry in Malaysia..the SMEs... now grants and soft loans are available within miti...further more u can claim 80% of the conference fee for u to enhance yr knowledge n skills
NO ENEMY... same... both gained!
3. contributed to the rights for the physically challenge community(i hate label them as OKU)
NO ENEMY... i hope:)... no result yet.. very complicated...still fighting!
4. some CSR projects here n there...
so that was my answer to them on me just want to bring up some issues that was not just!
At the end of the meeting... all wish me the best and all smile and of coz i gave all a hot air balloon cap!

Politic-a-bit: Perak, Parliament,etc..
i just saw on you tube the 'hooligans' in the Perak State Assembly Hall...
plus so many videos on how Malaysia Parliament being conducted...
I thought that the 'Hall' and the 'people' that represent a bunch of other people should worry about the people and not bout themselves or their boss or their political career or etc...
When i saw the 'hooligans' attacking another 'hooligans' i thought of calling WWF and asking them to open a ring in PERAK...and one in Jalan Duta!
On other note...
The guys that put things on you tube do not have any brains... i mean there's a limit on how much you can tell the world bout Malaysia Truly Asia!
Cameraman out there... pls la..go to National Park, Mount Kinabalu or even National Zoo and take lah all the picture/video u want and put it up on you tube...not go to stupid defunct assembly hall and take the endangered species!
anyway... this is why i never join any political party in Malaysia
dont mind being in OBAMA administration tho:)
OBAMA... u hiring?

JoKe No. 1
Why Indians cannot be terrorist!!
1. We are always late; we would have missed all 4 flights.
2. We would talk loudly and bring attention to ourselves.
3. With free food & drinks on the plane, we would forget why we're There
4. We talk with our hands;therefore we would have to put our weapons down.
5. We would ALL want to fly the plane.
6. We would argue and start a fight in the plane.
7. We can't keep a secret; we would have told everyone a week before doing it.
8. We would have put our country's flag on the windshield.
9. We would have postponed the mission because a cricket match was going on that day
10. We would all have fallen over each other to be in the photograph being taken with one of the hostages.

to be continued...
Below are some background on PEMUDAH or you can go to www.pemudah.gov.my
PEMUDAH Background
The idea for a high-powered taskforce to address bureaucracy in business-government dealings was first introduced in the Prime Minister’s annual speech to the Civil Service on 11th January 2007. It was recognised that a concerted cross-ministerial initiative was needed to effect greater improvement in the way government regulates businesses. To be truly relevant, it was also essential to have active participation by the private sector.
On 7th February 2007, the Special Taskforce to Facilitate Business or PEMUDAH (taken from the taskforce’s Malay name ‘Pasukan Petugas Khas Pemudahcara Perniagaan’) was established. Reporting directly to the Prime Minister, the team comprises 23 highly respected individuals from both the private and public sectors. It is co-chaired by Y.Bhg. Tan Sri Mohd Sidek Hassan, the Chief Secretary to the Government of Malaysia and Y.Bhg. Tan Sri Datuk Yong Poh Kon, President of the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers.
Terms of Reference:
To review the status of the public services delivery system in terms of processes, procedures, legislation and human resource towards introducing improvements;
To study best practices in the private sector that can be adopted by the public sector;
To coordinate programs across public sector agencies towards enhancing Malaysia's competitiveness;
To monitor the implementation of policies, strategies and procedures aimed towards improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the public delivery system; and
To take appropriate action in addressing issues raised during Cabinet meetings regarding the public delivery system.
Values
The vision of PEMUDAH is to achieve a globally benchmarked, customer-centric, innovative and proactive public service in support of a vibrant, resilient and competitive economy.
This vision is underpinned by the following values:
A sense of urgency
Proactive public-private sector collaboration
Facilitation, not hampering
No more regulation than necessary
Zero tolerance for corruption
