Top Leaders Lack ICT Devices?
After the Mahaleel's public outcry incident, the grand-master (Proton Adviser) is due to make his move.
According to various news sources, our ex-PM, Mahathir has met with Proton's chairman, Azlan Hashim over the position of their current CEO. According to the ex-PM, he cannot make his comments based on newspaper reports, hence, he need to find out the truth from the horse's mouth.
Just some food for thought...
As the ex-PM with such advocacy for MSC and pushing the country towards a developed nation, you would think that he owns a handphone, or for that matter, the Proton chairman and CEO also own a handphone with great capabilities... so instead of wasting resources like petrol and getting stuck in a huge jam (or contributing to the massive jam for that matter), why can't these people just call each other up?
If Mahathir wants to know the truth, why can't he call up the CEO (I am assuming a person with such a big responsibility on his shoulder should have at least subscribed to international roaming services while he is overseas) and ask him? Is Mahathir trying to show the public that he is siding the protégé that is assigned to look after his pet project? Or is he trying to make the front page of newspaper?
Many a times I have seen top leadership, even our current PM or DPM have claimed they have "no knowledge" of certain issues that is relevant to public. With all the cool ICT facilities set up in Putrajaya and Cyberjaya, shouldn't our top leadership be equipped with the latest development that is of public concern? What is the point of advocating the advancement of ICT if our top leadership are not showing a good example of how the ICT technologies is helping them?
If I were to be in the top leadership, I would have equipped my self with the latest ICT gadgets so that I can get various feeds of information that I need from relevant government agencies (since this is all paid for). It would be embarrassing for me if I were not able to answer any question post by the press (or anyone I encounter). However, in our third world country, people tends to know less and claim innocent in order to avoid "embarrassment" (if you can call it getting out) while showing their lack of knowledge at the same time.
No wonder broadband penetration is low in Malaysia !!
