Every Malaysian General Elections once in 4 years will see “old faces” and “new faces” being elected to positions as Members of Parliament (MPs) and Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri(ADUN) or State Representatives.

The “old faces” are basically those incumbants and have been in office for many cycles and maybe have felt that they have their rightly places in the govt and their own political parties concerned.Many of these “old faces” are also Senior Ministers and Ministers and Deputy Ministers in the Federal Govt and State Govts.They are Top Party officials like President,Deputy President,Vice Presidents,Secretary Generals and Top Exco members.Due to this high profile posts,the “old faces” are elected again and again as candidates in their preferred constituencies both Parliament and State seats.Normally these are considered “safe seats” and many will win and continue their political existence and presence.Is this a good thing or bad practice?

In USA,Ramli think each US President can be in power for only 2 terms ie.8 years in maximum.After the mandatory 2 terms,although their popularity is still good and important,they MUST relinquish their position as President of USA to the new Presidential candidates concerned normally coming from the Republican or Democrat Candidates!

So,does it mean giving or imposing a 2 terms maximum for Top Govt Officials is good or bad?Maybe there are pros and cons?Tun Dr.Mahathir rule Malaysia as PM for almost 21 years and same like Mr.Lee Kuan Yew,the ex-PM of Singapore who have built their respective countries to World Class achievements and bring great prosperity to the economy,culture and people generally in terms of per capita income and job opportunities etc…

This coming 13MGE which indications showed can be held anytime sooner than 2012 will be a very important one for all Malaysians alike.However are all Malaysians “smart enough” or “knowledgable enough” to know who are the RIGHT Candidate and which is the RIGHT Party to vote to power?The political happenings and strong tactics of political parties plus many long years of party “moves” and party sentiments and “politik wang” matters can “make results happen they way they want” or can be results that are not the best for the country-nobody knows these facts or “autar” except those die hard politicians and experts political analysts!

For the Gen Y(16 to 30 years old) voters who maybe voting for the 1st time like Ramli’s 3 grown up children already above 21 years of age will now have to learn to cast their votes and select the candidate of their choice and also political party.Do you think all new voters know what to do with their votes and will they select the RIGHT Candidate and Right Political Party concerned?

Ramli just hoped as always Allah SWT will guide all Malaysians to the straight path and bring greater Peace,Prosperity and Harmony to all Malaysians and more so for the coming generations who need to be assured of a Better Malaysia all the time.Inshallah.

Wawasan 2020 is just 10 years away and the clock is ticking like normal but now since we launched Wawasan 2020 (Vision 2020) almost 20 years ago,the clock seems to tick faster since the deadline is encroaching and coming!
Billions of RM have been spent to make this Vision 2020 a reality and great achievement for all 1Malaysians and many PMs have come and go and the PM that reign in 2020 will be the one that benefit from all these sacrifices and hard work by all Malaysians concerned ever since Wawasan 2020 was launched by the then PM YAB Tun Dr.Mahathir Mohamad in 1991.
Some infos on Wawasan 2020:
Wawasan 2020

Dasar ini mula Diperkenalkan Tun Mahathir pada 28 Februari 1991, pembentukannya bertujuan meletakkan Malaysia sebagai sebuah negara maju, berdikari, progresif dan berdaya saing.

Dasar ini mempunyai rangka strategi yang kukuh dan amat kehadapan dalam perancangannya. Wawasan 2020 yang kita sentiasa sebut itu diperkenalkan melalui satu teks ucapan Tun Mahathir Mohamed yang bertajuk “Malaysia: The Way Forward”.

Ucapan pertama Wawasan 2020 ini telah didengarkan pada Majlis Perdagangan Malaysia di Kuala Lumpur.
Tun Mahathir memulakan ucapannya memperkenalkan wawasan 2020 dengan berkata …

“Kertas kerja ini bertujuan untuk mengemukakan kepada tuan-tuan beberapa pandangan tentang arah masa depan negara kita dan bagaimana kita patut berusaha mencapai matlamat membangunkan Malaysia menjadi Negara Perindustrian.”

Can we achieved all these targets of Wawasan 2020 or only some of the targets?Are we still having the great passion and compassion to make this Wawasan 2020 really work!
The many “whistle blowers” that Malaysia experienced or possess maybe happy for all the actions taken as a result of their “making noise” of what is not good in the Malaysian administration or government policies and execution.Some maybe so disappointed that no action are taken or maybe some just being ignored as the problem highlighted by these whistle blowers are “takde apaapa” kind of thing and not urgent or necessary to take any action at all.
From the Auditor General Reports made yearly,maybe there are so many major problems faced by the Malaysian Government incharge including all the MInisteries concerned.What more if there are problems but the Auditor General people did not notice since there are so many not easy to “gather” all facts and happenings at one time or in one calender year.What if the problems are the useful many and not the vital few ones as taught by Dr.Juran in his Pareto Diagram of prioritising the major and minor problems that constitute the overall problems in any organisations or companies.
The best way to build quality in organisations are not by CHECKING or Auditing methods but more of PREVENTIVE and ProACTIVE measures where quality is build from the start of the business process and to build QUALITY ORGANISATION YOU NEED QUALITY PEOPLE!
Is the Malaysian Civil Service or the Malaysian Government in Power or some of the State Governments in the control of the PAKATAN RAKYAT of Quality Management with Quality People?Are they truly effective and efficient ie.doing the right things right all the time!
If you read the Malaysian Newspapers nowadays,so many stories involving fraud,cheating,bad management,Criminal Breach of Trusts,white collar kind of crimes,bribes,illegal dealings,unlawful use of government assets etc…are reported and the Rakyat knows that Malaysia is still so weak and not yet a Great and World Class Nation like other countries who seems to regularly Top the Rankings as far as Clean Govt,Per Capita Income levels,Crime free,honest leadership and many other parameters set aside by the surveys or study groups.
Ramli think 2010 is a great year to think differently as Einstein once stated as such “it is foolish to hope for some new results if you are doing the same actions repeatedly” So for Malaysia to move up the Rankings of a Great Nation or World Class Levels,we need to act differently and that need a great political will,good budget,good planning and execution BUT maybe the most Key Factor is Right People who will perform the Right Actions and that will produce the Right Results without fear or favour and that also means some sacrifices of some Great Malaysians since nothing come “Cheap” or “Easy” if there is no Blood,Sweat&Tears!
Malaysia have to do all these actions like it or not and like what we all scream always “Malaysia Boleh” and with that Great Spirit together with our faith and Doa to Allah SWT(God Almighthy),Yes Maybe (Inshallah) We Will Achieve our Wawasan 2020.
