BUKIT LANJAN: Humbleness the key to success ...

 The above picture was shared in Facebook and is believed to have been snapped in Singapore.

And the posting was captioned that Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong had queued up at an eatery or department store.

“Perhaps that is why the Lee family has been politically successful, having the majority’s confidence in Singapore’s governance.

“Singapore is today a developed nation and a global financial centre,” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said, adding that there have also been images of similar humbleness of other foreign politicians shared in social media networks.

He said perhaps it was time for Malaysian politicians to take a cue from Lee’s display of humbleness.

“Humbleness is a virtue and is perhaps also the key to success with humility being the quality of being humble. After all, humans are all born equal, no?”

Syed Razak, who is Gerakan’s nominee to contest N.37 Bukit Lanjan in the coming 14th General Election (GE14), said “there is no reason for Malaysian politicians to not feel safe without body guards and what else when they are not on official business”.

“Unless, we feel Malaysia is not safe?” he added.

Syed Razak said: “Politicians are elected by the rakyat (people) to serve them and country. They are not the boss.

“So, why must they surround themselves with body guards 24/7 and everywhere? And those pesky body guards are mostly bullies who do injustice to a politician’s image.

“They are super unfriendly, very physical, almost always going over board in discharging their duty. Go ask the media people and they will testify to this fact.”

And that is why I say: “I am Pek Moh (White Haired) Bukit Lanjan, ready to serve with honesty and commitment because the rakyat is the boss. They are my employers.”


N.37 LET BUKIT LANJAN SOAR WITH SYED ABDUL RAZAK ALSAGOFF

    The gesture of humility in the picture is truly worth a thousand words.

    It is only during election period that I see some of our Honourable Ones using the public exits at airports etcetera.

    Otherwise they are accompanied by an entourage of body guards and supporters.

    When the have fallen from grace these once honourable ones are limping on their own with only a family member or two....

CreditKristian Helgesen/Bloomberg, via Getty Images Norway’s Wealth Fund Considers Divesting From Oil Shares By  CLIFFORD KRAUSS NOV. 16, 2017 Norway’s $1 trillion sovereign wealth fund is considering a divestment of holdings in international petroleum companies, a sign that even Europe’s dominant producer does not have full confidence in oil’s future. The recommendation on Thursday by the Norwegian Central Bank, which manages the fund, is potentially the biggest advance yet for a global fossil-fuel divestment campaign that has been promoted on college campuses and by environmental activists. It could also be a setback for the proposed initial public offering of the Saudi national oil company, known as Aramco, since the Norwegian sovereign wealth fund, the world’s largest, would be a potentiall...

BUKIT LANJAN: DOSH and all related construction authorities must buck up

BUKIT LANJAN: DOSH and all related construction authorities must buck up It is quite obvious that something is not very right with the way the Department of Occupational Health and Safety (DOSH) and all related construction authorities are monitoring work safety at construction sites. There have been quite a number of tragic and non-tragic incidents at construction sites recently and yet accidents continue to recur despite DOSH’s claims that it has set up safety committees to tighten inspections. Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said: “There was the woman who was crushed to death by a crane hook that fell on her Perodua Kelisa from 20 storeys up. “This was followed by the collapse of the KL Eco City pedestrian bridge that claimed a life. And now a crane has collapsed at the Bandar Damansara Perdana (BDP) construction site.” Syed Razak said such tragic and non-tragic mishaps at construction would not occur or could have been avoided if high and competent constr...
