THE MESSAGE OF 'AIM FOR IMPOSSIBLE' REACHED THE MINISTRY LEVEL
Very great day to you,
Today, the good news on the above matter which I am going to bring to you in the hope that you will not feel the heat, but join in the wagon to make this wave even stronger, like tsunami when the issue is still hot.
The message which many of us have been blogging finally reached the ministry's level. We have to make it not an ending, but just a beginning as we have lots to catch up.
The article, Aim for the impossible, was published in the Star on Mar 11, 2011. For those who have missed out, please read it. For the sake of everyone, I like to quote what have been said by the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Idris Jala.
He acknowledged and related that "many leaders fail in their missions due to the fear of failure" and adding that transformation would never happen in any organization if targets set were highly achievable.
To illustrate his point, he defined transformation as "achieving big results, fast" and compared it to the Government Transformation Programme (GTP). He added further during his keynote speech at a forum, The Principle of Transformational Leadership, organized by the Audit Bureau of Circulations, that "if you don't conquer the fear of failure, you will never begin the journey."
This message is loud and clear, hope that this is not an end, but just a beginning. To achieve this end, more initiatives and actions not only need to be carried out in line with its pre-set noble goals. Effective implementation of such projects needed to be carried out as well. Otherwise, this project is just good in paper only. Here, we need to learn from our past experience if we really want any future project to take off effectively.
As such, I blog this news in the hope that more people, if not everyone, jump into this wagon and make a strong wave like tsunami that can create a long lasting significant positive impact on everyone of us here. If we don't care, who else will.
In this connection, we strongly urge that the Government continue to implement more healthy initiatives of this type in nature so as to transform the nation more speedily and effectively exactly as advocated by our Datuk Seri.
In response to Datuk Seri's message, we hope Government will remove those draconic legislations, soonest possible so as to show their example in line with this message to the people, whom majorities are educated and matured. Such actions will not only reaffirm that "Action speaks louder" but also in line with our frequently heard slogan "Leadership by example." Killing two birds with one stone.
Here, I also like to take this opportunity to praise our Agung, King Of Malaysia, who has taken own initiative to remind the Members of Parliament (elected by the people) to behave well in it, i.e. to make good use of this platform to have a healthy debate, instead of unacceptable behaviour which I feel embarrassed to mention here, so as to derive a healthy legislation to govern the country with its best interest, and not for their individual hidden agenda, if applicable.
However, caution need to be taken as far as this message is concerns, this can serve as a double edge sword as well. As such, it is good to be reminded that it should be used for good intention so as to truly transform a nation and its people, as intended. But it is also equally harmful if it is used for the wrong purpose, which we have witnessed numerous events that happened around us.
