Can U Spot Da Difference?


Dear all,

I usually disregard junk emails as I’ve no time 2 glance thru and most of the times the contents r nuts n dirty (well u know wat I mean) lol


But da one I received y’day was clearly an exception. I was speechless –jaw dropping- while reading 2wards da end. Blatantly, only now I know why our ‘neighbour’ is far more advanced and sophisticated than us. From da easiest disciplinary implementation on environment (every1 knows dat littering on any part of Singapore, one’ll be fined as well cud possibly end up in prison) 2 da hardest and most crucial nation governance of da country.


I still cud recall, upon attending Tunku Abdul Aziz’s public lecture on ‘Ethical Conduct of Malaysian MPs’, he vividly mentioned dat Singapore’s victory in combating bribery and corruption lies from its leaders who came into office wif clean hands n running da office wif clean pockets. They strictly observe “check and balance” policy, ensuring da every penny of the tax-payer’s contribution wudn’t b wasted and make it a worthwhile.


N only know I come to realize, how cud dis impossible scenario (in Malaysia) b possible in Singapore. I submit, da level of intellectuality and intelligence between these set of leaders, has justifiably distinguished da standards upheld among two nations.


However, you shudnt accuse me of degrading our local unis. I am not asserting dat da Malaysian unis aren’t gud/excellent (or whatever remark u wish to write) in its field but its just not as compatible as da universities where da Singaporean leaders graduated from. But frankly speaking, u dun av to preach anyone wif da fact dat, Cambridge n Harvard are far better than UM.


No objections @ all. Nuff sed.


Proven, da level of intelligence generates ‘outstanding outputs’ from its subjects. N I av been experiencing dis a lot. Those who are abroad-graduated demonstrate a different way of thinking, idealism and aspiration wif da one graduated locally. Whether they r better or worst, is a second issue. Both have their own ‘respective’ parameters to offer.


N I’m not an exception 2 dis. da way I perceive things 5 years back wasn’t da same wif wat I am analysing now. Still I cudnt find da answer how cud I jumped from being quite so-and-so conservative/orthodox into one being flexible, relaxed and positive way in looking @ n sailing in life.


Ya ya people changed. So do I


Back to da discussion, shall we? LOL


Again, pointing out fingers 2 da Malaysian leaders wudn’t solve da issue(s). Dere’s no way we can change or even touch da Minister’s portfolio which has been recently spelled out by the PM.


Perhaps a gud Q 2 throw is – wat can I do 4 a better Malaysia? Where will I stand in the next 10 years time? Time rotates incredibly fast, witnessing da transformation of da young becoming old (or not-so-young like me) n da olds will be leaving. Da issue is, are we prepared 4 such changes?


Im sorry shud my submission is flaw and contains no substance (at all???) in it. Yeah, it cud be any of my daily ramblings when I see things around. But hey, its my freedom of expression n I av da rite 2 express myself in anyway I want.


When there’s a will, there always be a way


For a better Malaysia,


ZI

P/S: I wont be able 2 reply within dis weekends as I’ll be away for Taylors’ Excursion 2 Mount Angsi wif studs. (n please dun ask me where da hell da Mount is or I’ll only can tell once I got back) I’ll be checking mails on Monday n onwards. Till then buh-bye

Waaaaaa...A compilation of edu b'ground between Sngapore and Msia ministers! Wot a huge difference! *jaw-dropping as well!*

I have to agree that, sumhow, there will be a disparity in terms of 'thinking' and as u said, in the way of expressing the aspiration or idealism. Hey, I'm not condemning our own ministers ya but I'm just wondering why there are none of abroad-graduates lining themselves up in politics? Are they hiding themselves or they don't have any interest in politics? *sigh*

P/S: I noe curiosity can kill but do you mind to tell me how he manage to get in Cambridge? (^_^)

" why there are none of abroad-graduates lining themselves up in politics? "
-Sori, I made a wrong statement..wot i try to convey is that;how our PM choose who should hold this portfolio and who's shouldn't?Based on what criteria?

Unknown said...

hi nu na nee chan,

i appreciate your immensed concern and i'll try my very best to address ur queries (even i dun know much about mesian politics 2 b honest)

i submit da pm chooses his cabinet ministers based on his personal observation together wif the opinion of his advisors and his party. i dun know much in exact da criteria he is looking for, but it cud be from any that i've mentioned above.

taking into consideration of 'kronism' and 'nepotism' allegation, da current pm cudnt run from da curse by choosing someone who is close 2 him. da definition of 'closeness' is subjective and may vary from one opinion 2 another.

n i think da second question is best to be answered by da cambridge admission officer. LOL how wud i know? hahaha
he might born as a brilliant chap, no doubt. so im sorry cuz im unable to assist u on da second question and i wud rather stay silent than making a lie and slander.

keep staying wif asignofthecreator more articles coming up soon

many thanks
