CASE 1-AGAINST
I have been researching and talking to some senior managers about Malays. Benarkah mereka ini sebenarnya “malas” atau “tidak competitive”? Daripada 6 senior managers atau company owner yang telah saya berbual, kebanyakkannya mengiyakan statement di atas.
Daripada pengalaman mereka, kebanyakkan staff mereka yg berbangsa melayu terlalu payah utk bekerja lebih masa. Too many excuses akan diberi seperti anak tidak sihat, kena ambil bini, suami marah, rumah jauh. Lebih menyakitkan hati manager ini adalah sindiran yang dikeluarkan seperti “gaji sikit….tapi kerja macam kuli”-seperti biasa, kenyataan ini hanya keluar masa minum2 kat luar, tanpa pengetahuan boss mereka.
Ini mungkin situasi mereka yg bekerja di pejabat. Bagaimana mereka di kampung? Mereka yg ditemubual juga mengatakan ini juga malas. Mereka yg mempunyai kebun akan memajakkannya kepada Ah Seng, Ah Meng utk ambil hasil tanahnya, duit mudah. Jika mengerjakan ladang getah pun, setakat pagi sahaja...petang melepak di kedai kopi, malam bersantai dgn kawan2 di serambi surau. Sedangkan petang selepas menoreh, boleh ternak lembu, mengerjakan kebun buah, malam nak melepak ..lepak laa...tapi petang yg dihabiskan minum kopi tadi boleh dielakkan.
Malas atau budaya? Mungkin budaya, mungkin malas yg diinherited secara turun-temurun. Ataupun sikap suka menipu diri sendiri. Terlalu ramai kawan2 saya yg selalu berkata, ”Aku saje aje malas nak fight for that post, nanti org kata aku gila kuasa lak....so, saje aje” atau bila kalah main game ” Alah beb, kita dah selalu sgt menang...so kali nie aku saje aje bagi dia menang, kalau aku mahu, kena sebat la dia...nanti patah semangat lak”
CASE 2-FOR
We just never get the right opportunity.
Setelah jerih mengejar kelulusan university berkat usaha ayah dan ibu, aku keluar mengejar impian utk menjadi graduan yg berjaya. Biarpun kelulusan aku tidaklah fist class namun aku merasakan banyak lagi factor lain yg harus di beri perhatian seperti kebolehan aku menulis Bahasa Melayu dan English dgn baik, kebolehan aku menjadi ketua platoon Kadet..
Namun setelah 3 bulan mencari kerja di
There is a lot of vacancy in the newspaper, but the requirement to speak Mandarin is a must. Man, I cannot speak Mandarin….every time, I went for an interview, they state they need a Mandarin speaking candidate because they main business is in
The last time i checked, business in
Even Oscar Schindler, who is not even Jew employs Jews in his factory. Macamana Melayu tak mahu employ melayu? Teruk sangat ke kami nie? Bukan semua org melayu malas, ada yg berwawasan juga namun tidak diberi peluang…
My Take
We live in a cruel world.
To survive, Malay should start to believe they are not special just because they are classified as Bumiputra. They should stop believing that Govt. have abundant of jobs waiting for them….well, not until some of the most corrupted officers are weed out first!
That will emptied have of the government buildings!! Heh..heh
Self improvement is very important; the desire to live is even paramount. Your parents are not gonna live forever. You have to fend for yourself…and stop believing that every man is created equal…if they are all created equal, nobody will win a 100 meter race,
They win because their self believe is greater than their opponent. Their strategy is clear, the desire is like a fire that 1000 firemen cannot put out, defeat is not an option.
So, pick yourself up, do what is best for you…sometimes the degree you did the last time was not your passion, a job with a low salary is a job nonetheless, work hard and honest does pay.
Allah is Almighty….and knows who warrants His Blessings.
Have faith….i lost mine once…but Allah guides me back.
I am still a naughty boy though!! Heh..heh
