Snippets...here and there...

Selamat Pagi Malaysia...

We should cease endorsing underperforming individuals, corporations, and government-linked companies (GLCs) solely based on their Malay affiliation. Malaysians of all backgrounds, including the Chinese in KLK, deserve project awards based on merit. The recurrence of failed projects has left us fatigued, and it's disheartening to see a lack of accountability for perpetrators in our country, where crimes persist without consequences.

Yes, I agree with Dennis Ignatius and what he says I agree 100% but Dennis is ignorant of one minor detail. In politics, there is NO land of utopia. It's a balancing act to ensure what is the best available options one shall need to take to steer the country forward. There are so many hazards along the way. And yes, there are times we need to take some help from the devil to fight against other devils.

This dementic, senile, forgetful old man with selective memory is also, selfish, cynical, stubborn, incorrigible, manipulative, cunning, and conniving Pseudo Malay.....who cries and laments about the plight of the poor, exploited, and suppressed Malays while he enriches his children, his equally manipulative Financial General, Lusty Daim, and his Kapitans, Yeo, Ananda, Arumugam, Lim & co..... shouldn't be given so much media space and coverage.

Leave him alone, membebel to his group of desperate and obligated clowns.

And let's move on to remove all the trash accumulated by this senile old man and his equally damaging successor & wife. We have a lot of work to do, rather than follow this yarner.

Surely by now, the gomen know that very high overheads i.e. high remunerations, salaries, perks are reasons why our glc's are failing. Plus, the fact that directors are paid by companies means they are beholden to the bosses. A certain number of Directors in glc's should be paid by the finance ministry and answerable to the finance minister. Otherwise this problem of mismanagement will persist.

Having said that, our gomen too runs on the same principal. High overheads and zero ombudsman. Like when Anwar announced a million quran will be printed to be distributed in Europe to counter Islamophobia. Nobody even raised a voice in protest to such a wasteful effort.

Just for comparison, our PM gets more pay and benefits than that of UK, an economy 6 times our size. Same with our glc's the remuneration does not commensurate with the size of the entity.

Wan Lokdin who was CEO was not even investigated for his involvement in 1mdb and Boustead.

The last purchase made by Boustead plantation was questionable.

To recap, BPlant signed a sale and purchase agreement with Dutaland Bhd back in October 2017 for the acquisition of 42 parcels of leasehold plantation land in the Labuk and Sugut districts in Sabah for RM750 million.

This plantation currently dragging down Boustead plantation unit.

After this purchase, he retired, as Najib too lost his power.

What afflicts our glc's mirrors that of our gomen. Both just do not understand that their management expenses are way too high. Our politicians get multiple pensions and incomes from just 5 years of work.

Many shipyards in the country is capable of building our naval ships. No need for China or Lumut dockyard.

They can easily work based on dutch damen design or similar such as french gowin or south korean. But never given the chance. Our shipyards in Sarawak and Sabah have been exporting offshore vessels for decades. Even Labuan shipyard has a dock facility big enough unfortunately that shipyard has been taken over by glc. Glc companies bring along it's inherent disease of high overheads, bureaucracy and low efficiency.
