And now the news in brief...

Just finished speed-reading the paper. Some interesting bits I found today:

Oil found at inshore areas in Kelantan: If this is true, and if it is financially-sound to drill oil inshore in Kelantan, then logically, it'd be a windfall for the state and its people. Should be a catalyst for development on this part of the country. I just hope politics do not get in the way. And speaking of oil, I was horrified with the news shown on TV3 last night on the leakage at the petrol station in Putrajaya. I think petrol station owners should take extra precaution to avoid disasters like this.

Four new faces in Suhakam: Interesting bit of news this, especially when I know one of them personally. I am pleasantly surprised myself to find the esteemed Ustaz 'Uthman El-Muhammady (left) as one of the new appointees. I wish him all the best in this new position, and I hope that certain people keep their dissatisfaction, or perhaps envy, to themselves. I am also pleased that my former boss, Professor Datuk Dr. Abdul Monir Yaacob is also reappointed.

Yahoo! aid techno-challenged: For those who want to understand the latest gadgets, tools and technology, go to http://tech.yahoo.com for information. Should be handy!

And of course, last but certainly not least, Malaysia are in the Thomas Cup semi-finals after the nail-biting quarter-finals with Korea. Syabas! And let's hope that success awaits in the match against Denmark.

they are appointing the right and qualified people. good for them. but not all people/organization has that good appointment. in some organization, people who don't have the required qualification, don't have the traits of a leader got to be appointed. it is a shame that he himself asked for that particular position. kesian kat org tuh dan kesian kat tempat tuh terpaksa menghadapi pilihan yg bukannya tepat. salah siapa?

mungkin perlantikan orang-orang berkenaan disebabkan pengalaman mereka dalam bidang itu atau bidang yang seiring dengannya?

contoh yang paling dekat dihati saya, abah saya sendiri. Tak ada diploma, apalagi ijazah. Cuma lepasan maktab perguruan Tg Malim.

Tapi disebabkan pengalaman abah saya dalam bidang sukan,pendidikan dan minatnya pada sukan sangat mendalam, dia dilantik menjadi Ketua Unit Sukan,di bawah Jab. Pendidikan Negeri.Walhal jawatan itu sepatutnya disandang oleh mereka yang mempunyai ijazah. (cuma silapnya, tak ramai yang tahu minat abah saya itu. Maka sebab itulah kredibiliti abah saya dipertikaikan ketika awal-awal dia memegang jawatan itu)

Tahun bersilih ganti dan ada sahaja khabar-khabar angin yang mengatakan abah saya akan diganti dengan mereka yang mempunyai ijazah, tapi sekarang sudah genap 5 thn abah saya memegang jawatan tu. Mungkin kerana akhirnya mereka akur dengan pengalaman dan kecekapan abah saya menguruskan bidang yang diminatinya-Sukan!
