Hari tu tergelak juga bila baca OUTSYED THE BOX tulis "..And where is Pemandu & Pemudah? (do you realize that pemandu & pemudah rhymes with hisap candu & hisap dadah?)..."
Kemudian tu, dalam artikel seterusnya OUTSYED THE BOX menulis "...I attended the Pemandu 'exhibition' at the PWTC yesterday on the Government Transformation Program (GTP), the Economic Transformation Program (ETP), the NKEAs, KRAs, SRI, PAKAR, TUKAR etc (if you dont know what all these acronyms mean, please go over to the Pemandu website and read up for yourself. Malas nak type lah)..."
Ala... malasnya nak pergi ke website Pemandu untuk mengetahui semua akronim-akronim tu. Bukan apa, sebab malas tu... sebab ianya tidak interesting bagi saya, muak, cuak dan terasa macam menghabiskan masa dengan sia-sia aja. Agaknya, sebab banyak sangat slogan-slogan, akronim-akronim yang bunyinya berdegar-degar tapi macam tak ada apa-apa pun? Teringat pula salah satu iklan yang jadi favorite saya, "Where's The Beef?".
Tengok pula videonya (dari youtube):-
Saya bukan mengerti sangat pasal ekonomi ni tapi sekali-sekala dan sikit-sikit tu minat juga untuk membacanya. Yang ini dari Matthias Chang - Future Fast Forward pula:-
What Is It - The Economic Transformation of Malaysia - A Roadmap, A Plan, A Programme, A Blueprint? - By Matthias Chang (22/9/10)
Wednesday, 22 September 2010 10:50
Yesterday, the Malaysian government, more specifically Pemandu (Performance Management and Delivery Unit) CEO, Datuk Seri Idris Jala announced a RM1.3 trillion or about US$444 billion investment - (Roadmap? Plan? Programme? Blueprint?) to transform Malaysia’s economy. To the Chinese, 444 is definitely a bad omen – literally die, die, die!
There were enough acronyms - ETP, GNI, EPPs, NKEAs, KPIs etc. to confuse everyone.
What was most interesting in the power-point presentation by Datuk Seri Idris Jala was his emphasis that the economic transformation is not a PLAN but a PROGRAMME, whatever that means.
A major initiative such as the economic transformation must be conveyed to the people in a way that would not lead to confusion and or ridicule.
Jala for reasons best known to himself and his think tank insist on the emphasis and the difference between a PLAN and a PROGRAMME.
But, please do explain what is the difference, for if Datuk Jala cannot even convey his own idea and concepts of the two words, PLAN and PROGRAMME, the initiative will be still born.
Why am I so pessimistic?
Bearing in mind Jala’s emphatic distinction of PLAN and PROGRAMME, why did NST in its front page blare out:
RM1.3 TRIL INVESTMENT ROADMAP
And in the second paragraph of the story, it was reported,
“Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Idris Jala, who is also Performance Management and Delivery Unit (Pemandu) chief executive officer laid out THE PLAN, conceived primarily to get Malaysia out of the middle-income trap”.
Then we have another paragraph,
“Presenting the economic ROADMAP at the ETP open day in Kuala Lumpur yesterday …”
The SUN newspaper had a different take on the initiative, and its headline cried out,
“NO business for government – Corporate leaders want level playing field, free competition and government to exit business”.
Is this the essence of the ETP?
I have examined the 94 pages of the power-point slides by Datuk Jala and I did not come across this message as being central to the ETP, although private sector investment will be the main engine for the so-called growth in the next ten years.
The STAR newspaper headline had a different slant or emphasis,
“RM115 bil start – seven projects under ETP to triple nation’s income”.
The lead story is all about the value of the EPP (Entry Point Projects).
There were no references to road maps, but there were specific references to PLANS such as,
“PLANS in the pipeline include making Malaysia a number one regional hub … there are also PLANS to build 141 km rail lines via a mass rapid transit high-speed rail system to connect Kuala Lumpur to Singapore”.
No doubt, a lot of hard work has been put into the ETP etc. and this effort must be applauded.
But, if the leading newspapers cannot get it right, I wonder who will get it right!
Saya sengaja bagi COLOR RED tang "confuse everyone" tu. Memangpun saya confuse sejak dari dulu lagi, dok tunggu dan tertanya-tanya, "Where's the beef?". Confuse tang 1-Malaysia la. Confuse tang MEB la. Rakyat Didahulukan, Pencapaian di Utamakan la dan macam-macam lagi. Dah kena penyakit "sloganeering and acronyms overdose" agaknya, sampaikan slogan yang sememangnya cantik dahulu, seperti "Bahasa Jiwa Bangsa" dah jadi tunggang terbalik apabila Bahasa Kebangsaan semakin dihimpit oleh bahasa Mandarin dan segala jenis bahasa. Kata 1Malaysia tapi bercakap 1xSeribu bahasa. Sekarang ni kena baca (terjemahan) untuk faham (sikit-sikit), bukan lagi "dengar untuk faham (sepenuhnya)". Tengok iklan Maybank tu, bila si emak bercakap dengan si anak, kita kena baca (bukan kena dengar) untuk tahu apa kebenda yang mereka percakapkan itu.
Hari tu ada terbaca Putra Merdeka komen pasal content RTM. Banyak "bendasing" bukan Malaysia punya. Dulu masa dok tengok TV dalam bilik hotel kat Thailand dan Jepun, mereka ada juga program-program TV asing yang mereka siarkan. Tapi semuanya bercakap bahasa Thai dan Jepun. Sampaikan perlawanan bola English Premier League pun berbunyi bahasa Thai. Tapi tempat kita "bendasing" ini tidak pula "berbunyi Bahasa Kebangsaan" bila disiarkan di RTM. Kalaulah buat macam Thailand tu, ada juga kerja sikit bagi penterjemah-penterjemah bahasa untuk cari makan. Setidak-tidaknya DBP tu sibuk sikit kena cari perkataan sesuai untuk digunakan bila filem Filipina tu "dimestikan" berbunyi bahasa Kebangsaan di RTM. Tak gitu?
Tu la.. PM sendiri galak sangat dengan Bahasa Mandarin dan sekolah vernakular cina, seolah-olah Bahasa Kebangsaan sudah tiada lagi keutamaannya di negara ini. Anak buah apa lagi? Habislah ranap Bahasa Kebangsaan ni.
Pergi ke OH!TIDAK.com kalau nak tengok imej-imej Bahasa Fail (bukan "file" tapi "gagal") dan juga Agama Fail (Wasahlam ??? Aidil Fitri Al Mubarak ???).
Entahlah, "beef"nya dah tak nampak sebab "roti" tu besar sangat. Kalau adapun "beef" itu, ianya sudah tenggelam, lemas, dek kemaruk slogan dan akronim yang cakapnya, mak datok!!, berdegar-degar, habuknya mana ?!
Oh! Ini yang baru masuk dari OUTSYED THE BOX:-
Oh! Ini yang baru masuk dari OUTSYED THE BOX:-
This is where there is some confusion over definitions. "Private sector" here actually means the GLCs. It is not the "real private sector". The Government is not being straight forward on this one. The GLCs are NOT private sector. For example the 1 Malaysia Development Bhd or 1MDB is going to develop the Sungei Besi Airbase. How can they be considered 'private sector'? This is a Government Linked Company or GLC. (I prefer Government's Losing Concern).
How can you say that 1MDB is "private sector" when the Government of Malaysia has signed a Government Financial Guarantee enabling 1MDB to borrow RM5.0 Billion from the banks? Market talk says that even Air Asia has been provided guarantees by the Government of Malaysia for some of its airplane purchases. I hope the YBs in Parliament will bring this matter up when Parliament resumes in October. It looks like the taxpayer, you and me folks, is funding the ETP, GTP etc. What gives? Yennadey ?
Dulu lebih senang nak faham, apa lagi bila "result" nya tak lama lepas tu akan mula nampak. Sebut aja "Dasar Pengswastaan", kemudian nampak jabatan-jabatan kerajaan satu persatu bertukar jadi korporat yang sekarang ni nampak dah jadi "keparat" pula.
"Punch card" - habis semua rakyat Semenanjung kena bangun awal sebab jamnya telah diselaraskan ikut waktu Sabah & Sarawak. Tiada lagi jam 9pagi masih terbungkam kat katil, kebanyakannya semua dah ada kat pejabat masing-masing.
Pak Cik kat kampong pun boleh pesan, "Jang oi, ko poi pokan tu, ko boli poti TB cap Toshiba no, jangan ko poi boli poti TB cap Philip pulak". Pak Cik kampong pun nampaknya senang faham "Dasar Pandang Ke Timur".
Sekarang ni - GTP?, ETP?, NKEA? SRI?, PAKAR?, TUKAR? GNI? EPP? KPI? Nak kena masuk "lab" dan bedah "lab-rats" kalau nak faham ni. Pak Cik kat kampong terus give-up, terpelanting kopiah nak faham semua ni!
NKRA - "Ni menatang kera mana pulak?", "Bukang menatang kera la Pak Cik! NKRA tu pasal ada orang dok kerja, ada orang dok suruh!" - Pulak??!!
Errr.. GLC..Government Linked Companies? Government Losing Concern? Linked Companies? Losing Concern ?? Konpius! konpius!...
