DARI RUNTUHAN KOTA MELAKA, KITA PERKASA PUTRAJAYA

-
I would like to cite a work by Mantel(1990) mentioning on the theory "everything that is going to be purified must first be corrupted." This is a principle of science and art. What Mantel really meant is that everything that is to be made together must first be taken apart, everything that is to be made whole must first be broken into its constituent parts, its heat, its coldness, its dryness, its moisture and so forth.

Now, what does this theory has anything to do with "Dari runtuhan Kota Melaka, kita perkasa Putrajaya?" If we trace back the history of Portuguese invasion in 446 years ago, we will find the total destruction of Kota Melaka which was being replaced by A Farmosa, as the one of the great destruction of our independency. For ages, we had been ruled by Portugues, Dutch, British, Japan and British again. Our wealth of mineral resources, plantations, and others had been robbed from our own land in daylights.

Then our great fathers of independence united and made a firm stand on the establishment of Malaya and later the Federal of Malaya/Malaysia. The ground works of preparing this nation to be a formidable country was initiated, fought hardly and maintained by YM Tunku Abdul Rahman, Tun Abdul Razak and Tun Hussein On. And the destiny was at his prime best by the achievement of our beloved Tun Mahathir. His great vision put Malaysia on top of many asean countries. His visionary leadership is clearly potrayed with the establishment of Putrajaya as the pilot cockpit of this great nation.Putrajaya is a legacy of our nation. It plays a significant role same as what the great Kota Melaka was erected for.

Pak Lah's job was to strengthen the pillars of Putrajaya through his ethical and morality mechanism of Islam Hadhari. However, due to the world unfavorable atmosphere, he was put into tough tasks at various angles. Now the challenges is inherited by our beloved YAB Dato Seri Najib. As what his late father had experienced, YAB PM seems to encounter all the confrontation very well.His four points of 1Malaysia, Government Transformation Programme, New Economic Policy and 10th Malaysian Plan have been applauded by the majority.

SEJARAH KEMERDEKAAN SABAH

-
Sabah yang dahulunya pernah dikenali sebagai North Borneo telah mencapai kemerdekaan daripada British melalui penubuhan persekutuan Malaysia pada 16 September 1963 yang diilhamkan oleh Yang Teramat Mulia Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj selaku Perdana Menteri Tanah Melayu. Berdasarkan kepada sumber-sumber sejarah menunjukkan bahawa Sabah pada asalnya merupakan jajahan Kesultanan Brunei. Walau bagaimanapun, pada tahun 1704, sebahagian besar wilayahnya di pantai timur dan utara telah dihadiahkan kepada Kesultanan Sulu sebagai balasan kerana membantu sultan Brunei menewaskan seterunya di Pulau Cermin. Sistem kerajaan berkonsepkan kesultanan di Sabah mula terpadam dalam lipatan sejarah apabila wilayah-wilayah di Sabah diserahkan oleh Kesultanan Sulu dan Kesultanan Brunei kepada British North Borneo Chartered Company (BNBCC) pada abad ke-19. Pada tahun 1881, Sabah secara rasminya telah ditadbir oleh BNBCC dan dijadikan negeri naungan kerajaan British pada tahun 1888. Dalam erti kata lain,

THE ESSENCE OF EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION

-
Can you imagine how life is going to be, if there is no standard and accepted forms of communication? The immediate situation that I can visualize is the chaotic event of ordinary life. People will eventually see what others are doing are for their mutual benefit. Everything seems to be for individual interest only. Most of the time people engage in surface acting behavior and there is a tendency of social loafing in group activities. In short, people actually don’t care on good interpersonal communication. In addition to that, there is an absence of the quality of work life found in any organization. Off course, nobody wants this scenario to happen in his or her life. In order to improve the quality of work life, we need to understand and establish proper communication process. The communication process involves steps between a source and a receiver that result in the transference and understanding of meaning. The sender initiates message by encoding it through the right channel. Th

Matching Structure with Environment

-
To understand what organization structure is all about, we need to study the composition of the body of an organization itself. Basically, it is a hierarchical concept of subordination of entities that collaborate to ensure the success of the common goal. The structure is best depicted using organizational chart in which allocation of responsibilities have been assigned to respected individual or departments. The established and solid structure can only be determined if consideration is given on the purpose of the organization establishment and the environment that governs the organization. There are four determinants of an organization’s structure; namely, strategy, size, technology and environment. Each determinant plays a decisive factor on what type of structure is going to be formed by an organization. The term strategy deals with the mechanism on achieving the objective of the organization. Structure must follow the strategy. Innovation which can be depicted as organic model,
