There should be an exercise to fix the endemic problems in the system in order to allow local talent to thrive. Then, there will be no need to attract overseas talent because people will come automagically.<br /><br />What you all said about the problems in local institutions is very true. A result of people with massive inferiority complexes sitting in seats of power feeling their chairs burn.Shawn Tanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04342111805045331752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-53889325087451670862010-06-21T08:07:06.665+08:002010-06-21T08:07:06.665+08:00I thought you missed a great opportunity when KJ s...I thought you missed a great opportunity when KJ said that he and Najib were reformist.<br /><br />If KJ and Najib were reformist, what is their mechanism for reform? Not the labels NEM or some high conceptual idea 1Malaysia but actual concrete plan with steps to reform?<br /><br />At its most ideal, the Najib plan is to move out the old guards and bring in the young blood and then convince them that they need to reform. It can't work. It assumes that the young blood they bring in is untainted. It assumes it does not need untainted people. It assumes it does not need HIGHLY COMMITTED people to the ideals of justice, transparency.<br /><br />BUT worst of all, it assumes that the old guard can be easily removed. It assumes that if they just wait out for Mahathir to go way, then they can get rid of everyone else. It does not work that way.<br /><br />What KJ said only add more to recent confirmations that Najib does not have a workable plan for change. Its clear Najib supporters like KJ are just blind faith in power not a plan. It is the ultimate in entitlement and spoilt elitism.<br /><br />Its unfortunate you did not take pointedly point this out during the debate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-23292073150181112482010-06-18T16:25:15.221+08:002010-06-18T16:25:15.221+08:00Why would Kian Ming work in UCSI as a lecturer aft...Why would Kian Ming work in UCSI as a lecturer after getting his PhD from Duke?

With Hee, I could understand given the power struggle in Perak DAP. BUT how could DAP, as established that they are, let the likes of Malim Nawar contest under DAP in the first place? A nobody with money woes, unproven in loyalty and to the cause? Seriously, they could not find a candidate better than him?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-72322483886939256612010-06-15T14:11:12.661+08:002010-06-15T14:11:12.661+08:00I get it from a public dialog point of view, this ...I get it from a public dialog point of view, this is important but really do any critical mind need to listen to these talks?<br /><br />KS Jomo, perhaps not in words but in subtance, says it already. Najib talk is basically 'khayalan' - he is selling political angel dust, speed. Its all a fantasy.<br /><br />The only substance is that we will not crash anytime soon.
