Ghani has lost his popularity & credibility and wanted to do something to deviate ppl attention. Anybody heard about his scandal with the se* exco member?

Hmmmm … now you are getting somewhere … Pity Johorean like me .. having such an ******* as the MB!

What worries me is the “learning” bit. Do people like the good MB actually learned anything during his tenure? Are his eyes glued shut that he couldn’t see what the people want or need prioritising on? I’m actually quite pleased that he brought up the issue of education. To me, this is a very relevant issue in Johor and Malaysia in general.

It’s not that our universities are not churning graduates. They are. In fact, if there’s one thing our universities are good at, it’s producing graduates. However, what disturbs me a lot is the quality of graduates we have. I have to deal with this on a daily basis. I interview lots of them for vacancies in my company. And every day, I have to reject a huge majority of them. Not because they don’t have proper paper credentials. But because their attitude sucks.

Many of them think that their degrees are licenses to a “good job”. That they have learned all there is to be learnt in life and business. They feel that they have “served time” during their studies. The fact is, what they’ve learned in university would be near irrelevant by the time they graduated. To make things worse, these graduates are not even passionate about their studies. They studied their disciplines just because that is what they were offered. To me this is very sad.

Having politicians saying irrelevant things such as meritocratic education system cripples a certain race to me is just plain idiotic and shows an extreme dependence on a “crutch mentality”. Things definitely need to change. And as proven by time tested management experience, a thorough and positive change can only be implemented from “top to bottom”, hence, I stick to my opinion that the Johor leadership needs to be overhauled and get their priorities in order.

Gosh… we have the ‘funniest’ Malaysian royalty and now our MB is exposed as one of the more ignorant MBs. Can fight with Khir T.
