This is worth reading, it resonates with me, too

The _Machiavellian Corrupting Contemptible destroyer of a dynamic progressive harmonious Malaysia_, *Dr Mahathir* - _very well analysed indeed by_ *Dr Betty Teh* _of Alor Setar, Kedah_ (a KLumpur *Specialist Doctor Consultant*) ..... 🙃😤🤢🤮😡👎🏿 ..... _(ChaiHB)_ ..... 👇 #  *"THE DISEASE MAHATHIR LEFT Behind"* _(By Betty Teh)_ At a hundred, Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad still insists on speaking as though Malaysia owes him a hearing. She does not. The nation he once led has spent two decades cleaning up the debris of his legacy, and the least he could offer now is silence dignified, if not contrite. Yes, his 22 year rule is often called Malaysia’s golden era. *But the glitter masked corrosion. Beneath the skyscrapers and slogans, Mahathir planted the idea that political power could be sustained through patronage that corruption was not deviance but method.* From that seed grew an entire *culture of entitlement, where loyalty could be bought and moral authority sold.* What b...

In three languages: Nominasi saya untuk seorang penjawat awam

  Petang semalam, saya menerima gambar di atas yang sangat menyentuh hati. Lebih-lebih lagi apabila melihat ibu dan anak ini akhirnya dipertemukan semula—sebuah momen penuh kasih yang sukar digambarkan dengan kata-kata. Ibunya hidup dalam kegelisahan apabila anaknya menghilangkan diri selama beberapa bulan tanpa sebarang khabar. Tiada berita, tiada hubungan—hanya kerisauan yang berpanjangan.

Walau bagaimanapun, sepanjang tempoh sebulan, Kedutaan Malaysia di Yangon hanya berjaya mengenal pasti tidak lebih daripada 17 orang yang benar-benar warganegara Malaysia. Yang lain masih menunggu keluarga dan sanak saudara mereka menghubungi pejabat kementerian luar negeri untuk memberi butir-butir yang dapat disahkan sahih.  Harizz Amirul Ahmad Fazir Selama dua bulan sejak saya dimaklumkan mengenai seorang anak mu...

Watch this movie

  Watch this short but very meaningful movie and tell me if this is comparable to what you have experienced all these years, when dealing with companies whose staff are not customer-centric or civil servants who behave more like Little Napoleons than truly serving the government of the day.

3 BAHASA: The Strategic Pivot: Strengthening Government Communication in the Digital Age

The appointment of Hisyamuddin Ghazali as the Director-General of J-Kom represents a long-overdue shift from a defensive, reactive posture to an offensive, forward-thinking strategy. For too long, the government has allowed misinformation to metastasize, mistakenly equating silence with statesmanship.  In today's digital climate, silence is not merely passive; it is a tactical error that is inevitably perceived by the public as an admission of guilt or institutional weakness. 1. Embracing the Offensive: A Corporate Communication Imperative From a corporate communications perspective, J-Kom’s shift toward a proactive mandate is not an act of aggression—it is an act of governance and stewardship. Controlling the Narrative : The government can no longer afford to let its agenda be defined by bad-faith actors. A "LawantetapLawan" stance requires the government to occupy the information space rather than ceding it to those who trade in 3R (Race, Religion, Royalty) sentiments ...
