Slum-like living in Bandar Damansara Perdana

Image
Slum-like living in Bandar Damansara Perdana Nestled in Bandar Damansara Perdana are eight blocks of low and medium-cost flats or apartments where some 4,000 families call home. Named Flora Damansara (near Empire Damansara) and constructed by Emkay about 11 years ago, the dwellers have been struggling to commute without a bus service. They also have to contend with the extremely narrow Jalan PJU 8/9 leading to their homes and acute or lack of parking space. “I really wonder how the developer planned and constructed the flats and apartments. Also, how did the authorities approved the project plan and clear it for occupation?” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said. “JMB Flora Damansara A & B, the low-cost flat dwellers, is the worst affected. And, why is Rapid Bus not serving Bandar Damansara Perdana? “Imagine the plight of the aged and those who don’t have their own transport,” he added. Syed Razak said he had been told that many locals had also moved out...

Brain drain more worrying than foreign workers

Brain drain more worrying than foreign workers The Asian Strategy and Leadership Institute (Asli) predicts that there may be more foreign workers than ethic Chinese in Malaysia by 2030. That may be worrying to those who don’t think of themselves as “I Am Malaysian First” but race first. “What I find really more worrying is the World Bank 2011 study highlighting the serious brain drain amongst Malaysian Chinese. “In fact, the devastating effects of the country’s brain drain is not only confined to just the Chinese but all Malaysians, irrespective of race and religion,” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said. He said Malaysia’s socio-economic progress and march to achieve developed-nation status would be impeded if the brain drain problem was not checked. “The federal government must seriously look into the problem and put the brakes on the country’s brain drain dilemma. We have to really stop the rot because the quality and competency of our human cap...

No valid reason for Malaysians to fear meritocracy

  No valid reason for Malaysians to fear meritocracy Malaysians should not fear meritocracy because it can only help propel Malaysia to greater social-economic heights. The fear that meritocracy would deprive the “weak” is baseless because excellence cannot be replaced with mediocrities. “For Malaysia to achieve developed nation status, we must have the best brains and quality workforce to help steer the nation forward progressively. “There cannot be progress if we have a weak or incompetent workforce. The fear that meritocracy will render the ‘weak’ of opportunities is nothing but plain lame and unjustified. “That’s because both the ‘weak’ and brainy have their own roles and ways to contribute to society and nation-building,” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said. “It is only common sense that a nation will not be able to achieve excellence in any field or sector with a mediocre workforce. So, does it make sense to deprive the better academic achieve...
