Alahai Ketawalah Lagi

Image
Ketika rehat di pertengahan seminar, saya ternampak seorang wanita Thailand duduk sendirian sambil menangis teresak-esak. Tanpa melengahkan masa saya mendekatinya dan menghulurkan secawan kopi padu. Dia menyambut kopi itu dan meminumnya. Akhirnya dia bercerita bahawa dia merasa tertekan, selalu diketawakan rakan sekerja kerana melaksanakan tugas hingga selesai agak perlahan berbanding pekerja-pekerja lain yang laju lagi pantas. Saya tanya sama ada boss dia pernah marah berdasarkan hasil kerjanya. Dia kata tidak. "Malah boss selalu puji saya di atas hasil kerja yang baik, sempurna dan memuaskan," jawabnya. Lalu saya bertanya: "Bagaimana pula dengan pekerja lain yang laju dan pantas itu?"  Wanita itu menjawab: "Saya tak pasti. Tapi ada juga saya ternampak boss menegur mereka kerana terdapat beberapa kesilapan dalam kerja mereka, akhirnya mereka terpaksa menyiapkan semula kerja sekali lagi untuk memperbetulkan kesilapan-kesilapan itu."  Saya termenung seketik...

Laugh is so easy

Image
During a break in the middle of the seminar, I happened to see a Thai woman sitting alone, sobbing uncontrollably. Without wasting any time, I approached her and handed over a cup of strong coffee. She accepted the coffee and drank it. Finally, she shared that she felt stressed, constantly laughed at by colleagues for completing tasks a bit slowly compared to other colleagues who are quick and fast.

Own analysis shows PKR is finished

Image
I don't know who wrote this (thank you anyway) but it was sent to me by a former AG. I believe it is going around. Adapted and edited slightly by me. My comments in blue. PKR is Finished - Only 7 Safe Seats Left — And Most Belong to Rafizi Camp.  The release of PKR's own internal analysis for the 16th General Election paints a sobering picture.  (OSTB : Actually it is a disastrous picture). Of the 7 Tier 1 seats, at least 4 are held by figures associated with the "Team Hiruk" or Rafizi Ramli-aligned camp: Pandan (Rafizi himself), Subang (Wong Chen), Petaling Jaya (Lee Chean Chung), and Ampang (Rodziah). In Tier 2A, a significant portion — including Ledang (Syed Ibrahim), Johor Bahru (Akmal Nasir), Pasir Gudang (Hassan Karim), Wangsa Maju (Zahir Hassan), Setiawangsa (Nik Nazmi), Gopeng (Tan Kar Hing), and Port Dickson (Aminuddin Harun) — also lean toward this faction. This means roughly 11 of the 20 most winnable seats (Tiers 1 and 2A) are tied to the reformist-leaning...
