Immature Malaysians
A few days ago, I came across this press release by a Minister who stated that parliamental proceedings will not be aired live any time soon due to immature Malaysians.
I am not too sure about the Minister’s personal belief. In fact, I myself am pretty insulted I am pretty sure a number of Malaysians are insulted too. It has come to time when we expand our country’s democracy system as parallel to time. Keeping parliamental debates within four walls and a leaked ceiling keeps our democracy growth stagnant. I still do not have a clue why we ordinary citizens of the same Motherland are branded as immatured beings. The people has elected this group of people to pass laws and bills for everyone’s betterment, yet we are not allowed to witness how our fate is being decided.
Moving back to the phrase "Immature Malaysians", there are a few groups of Malaysians who the Minister is branding. Firstly, it could be directed to the chinese press which reports on almost everything, including the thinnest needle.
The Minister might be trying to shield the reputation of the MPs too. Feeding ’badly conducted arguments’ to the public eye degrades their reputation to undefined mediocrity and these applies for the Government and Opposition. Nothing differentiates both sides when they misbehave, to me at least. It’s pathetic seeing MPs branding each other with names. Worse still, these people start to make racist remarks. I am pretty sure that the entire country should not be watching as the respective MP would be hauled into ISA under the Sedition Act due to public pressure.
Thirdly, the Minister could be telling that ordinary Malaysians will not have a clue nor maturity to understand parliamentary processes. Who is to be blamed? Maybe Malaysians themselves. In average, a Malaysian reads only 7 pages a day. Not forgetting the number of jobless grads straying around.
Speaking about the job market, I am now currently attached to a processing plant in Klang Utama. Frankly, I can say almost all plants are needing professional workers badly. When I mean professional workers, I am meaning workers with amplitude, attitude and aptitude. The manager told me he could not hire most of these grads as they are just too poor in communication and commitment. It is pretty impossible to say that there are not enough jobs. There are just not enough job resources to cope with the market.
For instance, there is this manager who is a graduate from UKM. He is struggling to cope with strenous procedures and deadlines. To me, it is simply hollow organization skills and commitment. With poor command of language in the bag, the employee’s ability and potential sum up to almost nothing. Waste.
The third category of immature Malaysians, it could be these people. All the victims of abnormal growth. A result of inadequate education.
Vision 2020, here we come again.
