No shortage of talented Malaysians! But why are they not in Malaysia?

No shortage of talented Malaysians! But why are they not in Malaysia? Kudos to Diana Chan - the Malaysian who won the Masterchef Australia trophy on Monday (July 24, 2017) evening. She’s only the second Malaysia to grab the trophy - the first was Penangite Adam Liaw who won in Season 2. Chan fought against all odds to beat her other more established chefs in Australia and her victory is nothing short of excellence. The competition is serious business, with Chan walking away with A$250,000 and a regular column in the food magazine, Delicious. “I wish her all the best and hope that her prize money will help her fulfill her dream of opening her own restaurant in Australia, serving ‘wholesome meals’ showcasing Malaysian flavours,” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said. He said Chan’s display of cuisine excellence and victory again showed that there is no shortage of talent and excellence among Malaysians. (Read these for context:  https://bukitlanjan.blo...

Jack Ma is not enough! ICT infrastructure is inadequate or outdated!

  Jack Ma is not enough! ICT infrastructure is inadequate or outdated! Yes! We have got the world’s best man for the job - to forward Malaysia’s use of ICT (Information, Communications and Technology) for the future. And that man is Jack Ma. “But that is absolutely just not enough. Jack Ma is no saint, magician or God in ICT. Without a proper infrastructure for ICT, progress is limited or stunted,” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said. He said the federal government must seriously take immediate measures to address IT professional Dig Bijoy Chakraborthy’s concern of Malaysia’s comparative sluggish internet speed. Chakraborthy spoke to online news portal Free Malaysia Today in response to international IT firm Akamai’s 2017 report that outlined the average internet performance across the globe, including in 15 South Pacific countries. (Full FMT report below). Syed Razak said the federal government could not further delay addressing the IT infrastruc...

SBK-MRT - a corporate mess for commuters!

SBK-MRT - a corporate mess for commuters! The Star Online   news report titled “SBK-MRT Line: Some rules to follow to enjoy flat parking rate” just exposes how “uncorporate and messy” is the MRT management. In the first place, it had all the time in world to plan, anticipate and iron out the common sense “hiccups” before the launch of the MRT Line. “It is so uncorporate and irresponsible to do so without adequate and proper planning to prepare and keep the public informed,” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said. He said the two most glaring “shocks” coming from the MRT mess are: > Why wasn’t there enough public campaign via the media to prepare and keep the public informed on the RM4.30 Park and Ride rules and conditions? and > Why the inconsistency in the RM4.30 Park and Ride implementation throughout the Sungai Buloh-Kajang (SBK-MRT Line)? “There is simply no excuse whatsoever for the MRT for failing to make it clear to the commuters on the P...

The early bird catches the ‘worm’ (China)

  The early bird catches the ‘worm’ (China) They say the early bird catches the worm. And that is why Malaysia is headed in the right direction by aggressively stepping up socio-economic and political ties with China. Do Malaysians and Malaysia really want to continue to trust and rely on the US for help and economic development? “That question must be truthfully and honestly answered by political doomsayers who continue to criticise efforts to attract investments from China,” Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said. He said history had clearly shown that the US had been behind all the wars being waged all over the world since World War II (WWII). “And, the attack and invasion of Iraq is the clearest evidence of the US waging war and occupation based on their own selfish agenda, not facts! Where are all the weapons of mass destruction that the US claimed had been hidden by Saddam Hussein?” Read these for context:  https://bukitlanjan.blogspot.my/2017/06/bukit-lanjan-th...

Malaysia needs not only good public transport, it must also be environmentally friendly

Malaysia needs not only good public transport, it must also be environmentally friendly https://youtu.be/ZPhBjED0PBs   (VIDEO) Prime Minister Najib Razak was recently quoted by the media as saying a good public transport system could help propel Malaysia’s economic growth, aside from improving the people's quality of life. While that is absolutely true, there is also another very important factor to consider on raising the  rakyat  (people)’s quality of life. And that is the ENVIRONMENT! “Whatever the policy or efforts to improve public transport, it must be complemented with a sound environmental policy which must be given top priority,” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said. He said the total number of registered vehicles on Malaysian roads had passed  25 million units, all being powered by Internal Combustion Engines (ICE). “ The more ICE motor vehicles we put on the roads, the more polluted the environment gets. This is just plain common ...

  Malaysia on track to quantum leap in digital world developments https://youtu.be/tR9BeUUAVSk   Alibaba’s new retail (VIDEO) If you believe in China’s Jack Ma and his competency in the digital world developments, then you cannot deny that Malaysia is on track to a quantum leap advance in digital world technology and its vast applications. Alibaba Group founder cum executive chairman Jack Ma has praised the federal government and Malaysia at least three times for the strength, tenacity and speed in in implementing projects within three months. “I doubt Jack Ma’s words of praise are just an exercise of diplomacy. A man of his global ‘digital’ stature does not mince his words nor talk rubbish,” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said. He said: “Whatever Jack Ma says, he has to make sure it is truthful. His global reputation is at stake. Do you think he will risk saying things that he will regret in the future? “Alibaba is no doubt a global leader i...
