Malaysian’s PM has called on his civil servants to speak out against wrongdoings

Malaysian PM Anwar Ibrahim has called on his country’s civil servants to speak out against wrongdoings- CNA online 16 January 2023.

What a breath of fresh air. I like what I have read.

I do not know Anwar Ibrahim at all and whether what he said which is so correct was political showmanship or he really meant what he urged the Malaysian civil servants to do, it doesn’t concern me.

Here in my own country, Singapore, I would like to also strongly urge our civil servants to speak out against wrongdoings in government, against wastages, against official slackening, against unfairness, against superior’s human weaknesses such as practising favouritism at work places, against unnecessary bureaucracy red tapes and/or against policy stupidity etc.

I imagine myself to be a civil servant and I ask myself if I would do that and/or if I would put my country’s interests first and risking ‘being marked’ or risking losing my ricebowl which must mean that my family will suffer because of my so called heroic acts.

I fully understand the fear and the reluctance of speaking out against wrongdoings. It is only human. The odds are stacked high with many lickers, ‘wag-ers’, meek suckers and people with their own agendas etc. I am not naive. I know that it is not easy.

But still, I am a dreamer and I believe that dreams can come true if we believe enough and work hard enough towards them. As citizens, our first and foremost loyalty and patriotism must always be to our country and not the government. Any government.

If more of our citizens have enough love for their country, enough care and concerns for their children’s and the younger generation’s future in this country that we call home, enough brains, enough courage and enough conviction, then Anwar’s call to his civil servants is also relevant to us in our country.

Think.

    Anwar is resolved to improve things for Malaysia and malaysians.
    He has suffered injustices before at the peak of his political CAREER.
    Now,he takes his political job like a VOCATION (as suggested by our revered Dr Goh to our scholars) and treat his post as PM as PUBLIC SERVANT.

    TIME FOR OUR LEADERS TO REFLECT AND MAKE AMENDS as well.

    Politicians must be able to accept PUBLIC SCRUTINY N PUBLIC CRITICISMS humbly.
    Even if wrongly accused,good politicians would show by his/her CONDUCT that the accuser was indeed wrongful rather than just resort to bashing.
    There are 2 kinds of FEEDBACK.
    FIRST,the honest one.
    Then,there is the one that only meant to *sound good* for the recipient to *feel good*.

    Its normal for common people to want to hear nice words/praises but POLITICAL LEADERS cannot insist on such *luxury*,am i right?
    Else,BLACK CAN BE WHITE and we accept it.

    Straits Times: ‘Very clear’ cryptocurrencies have to be regulated to guard against money laundering: Tharman

    What needed to be “regulated” was Ho Ching. She lost $500m in one year when Singapore Technologies invested in a bankrupt disk drive compnay. She lost BILLIONS when Temasek invested in Merrill Lynch and Barclays.
    Before stepping down from Temasek she lost $400 when Temasek invested in the FTX scam. Temasek is the largest single investor in this fraud. Despite doing 8-months of due diligence Temasek did not see the problems/risks. HO Ching ‘s justification that Temasek can afford to be contrarian is ridiculous. FTX did not have a chance of succeeding because it was a fraud. Ho Ching should be held responsible and accountable for her stupidity and incompetence. She made millions annually for over ten years and lost BILLIONS of taxpayers’ money over the same period. She was also Chairman of Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing for twenty years. It failed and was sold to Global Foundrires. NOL, a Temasek company, also failed and had to be sold to CMA CGM, a French shipping company.

    Ho Ching was a President Scholar but it did not make difference. She failed big time and cost taxpayers BILIONS but is not held accountable. WHY? THIS IS A COMPELLING REASON FOR REGIME CHANGE.

  • Light The Way:

    At the very least, Malaysia did the right thing to put corrupt ex-PM Najib and his wife in prison.

    And here, only the lowly ranked bribe taking ex-GM of AMKTC was jailed.

    While others remain protected under the endangered species Act by the choice of the people.

    What an international disgrace.

  • If on wall street:

    If an investment fund manager/vice-president/director in a Wall Street firm/bank or even in the City had lost the usd equivalent of s$400 million in one investment alone, even after doing due diligence, can that person explain to the bosses and shareholders that the company can afford to ‘take a contrarian view’? I may be wrong, but I believe he/she would be out on the sidewalk WEF. Anyone agree, or refute?

    bravo. agree. we add that can study is not the same as can perform. study is exam technique, 10 year series, with model answers and fixed answers. that is why every pap paper general one can name has failed. none has performed. the sad part is, all of them on the basis of self enriching ownself pay ownself system are multi millionaires and not one of them takes bus mrt. only sinkies who vote pap take bus mrt.

  • Con u wakes up from grave:

    PM Anwar Ibrahim calls on civil servants to speak out againts wrongdoings.PM LHL will either POFMA or silence any civil servant (sue they till their pants drop)if they were to speak out against any wrongdoings. If the civil servant were to keep their mouth shut he will protect them as seen in the SPH and KEPPEL saga.

    One is a PM who wants wants to do the right thing and the other is a selfish spoiled brat who was born with a golden spoon.

  • Favouritism ?:

    Our PM has the right to appoint anybody (friends, siblings, wife, in-laws, colleagues etc) to any position in the government organizations. However he also has the right to punish the person if he or she makes a serious errors such as losing billions of dollars of public funds irrespective of whether that person is a sibling or wife.

    In my opinion, this is not being done in Singapore as favouritism is being practiced here. This is an unfair policy.

  • SINGAROAR:

    The head of civil service is Leo Yip. He also holds the position of Permanent Secretary at the PM’S office. He was a police officer. He could have insisted on the prosecution of the six KOM executives. However we do not hear him make any Public statements. I think anyone working in our PMO’s office turn rotten as they have to compromise their values as LHL does not prioritize the governance of the State against the party’s and individual interest.

    Tech: Err… head of civil service has no power to order any investigation into Keppel Staff lar, BUT being PermSec at PMO can cause the CPIB is directly under him. But then his supremo boss no say anything, he dare open his mouth meh?

    Singapore’s civil service has been sick for a long time…..they should not be called civil servants instead they should be called civil masters! When public servants starts to work for themselves instead of the public and in the process harming public interests, that’s when you should call a spade a spade.

    @Tech
    Police officers are also civil servants so the head of civil service can ask for accountability as to the reasons for not prosecuting the six KOM executives.You are right in your statement that it has to do with his boss. It will be nice if all our State organs can operate independently.Now with so many fraud cases, we are falling of the cliff as the judiciary is also quiet.

    Straits Times: S’pore to look at how to better partner private sector to help seniors retire well: Desmond Lee

    Seniors do NOT need the private sector’s help to retire well. The ONLY thing seniors need is MONEY.

    Private sector is profit-driven. What they can provide can be provided by Government at cost, i.e., no profit therefore cheaper. Top civil servants are already receiving top private pay. They should be given more work to help seniors retire. They should earn what they are paid. If they do not then they should be sacked just like in the private sector.

    Pfizer tried to ‘bully’ India – minister
    New Delhi never approved the company’s jab as the US drugmaker apparently wanted protection from lawsuits over adverse effects

    US drugmaker Pfizer attempted to “bully the Indian government” into granting it indemnity from legal action over its Covid-19 vaccine, Electronics and Technology Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar has claimed. The vaccine shot was ultimately never approved in India.

    “Just to remind all Indians, that Pfizer tried to bully the government of India into accepting conditions of indemnity,” Chandrasekhar tweeted on Friday. The minister then accused three prominent opposition leaders of “pushing foreign vaccines during Covid.”

  • Perspective & Future Jobs:

    I watch the speech given by Lawrence Wong this morning on TV on the correct perspective and jobs in the future economy.

    He mentioned that we need to have the right mindset and stressed that Singaporeans need to be retrain, update and equip ourselves with the latest updated skills and knowledge to get jobs in the future economy. There are many in the gig economy such as food deliverer and Private hire driver who will suffer in the future because there is no much money in their CPF.

    It is very easy for him to talk because all the while he is working for the PAP government which need to employ Singaporeans in order not to be voted out.

    The very big question is why must the employer recruit a more expensive retrain worker when he can recruit a much cheaper foreign worker and make more profits for himself ?

    I have been retrenched at 50 years old and since then have problems applying for a new job. I did not receive any reply to all my applications.

    What retraining and perspective is he talking about ?
