communication

Why communication fail? Sometimes I wonder. With modern gadgets and innovations I still feel messages or replies take ages to arrive. Or it is dead silence somewhere. Excuse? Aiyah...not freelah! So many things to do one! Just stop a minute. How long it takes to response? One minute to write a short note or 10 minutes to write something to say 'I have heard about it' It is that difficult? Likewise in business too. You can't get a reply to its email even though you write it and wait for the people to respond. One hour? Few hours? One day? Many days? Maybe none at all. The worst culprit is with the government departments. It is totally zero! I wonder what they are doing cooking up in the office. They should walk the road. As this country is famous for - talk alot action depends who is calling whom and also the mine of red tapes involved. Talking about One Stop Agency blah blah blah...the Cabinet members should walk the talk. The PM recognizes the weaknesses yet changes are not done. Even the legal department takes ages to amend or draw up new laws yet there are weaknesses when the laws are gazetted. It reminds you of what really they are doing....studying it for years and still has loopholes! Communication never executed to the right people for the right solutions. Somewhere in the processes many red tapes or trying to make themselves important in the work they do. The final product - a crack in the system. Likewise when the Chairman of NS announced that parents are allowed to visit their children in camps for the Chap Goh Mei, the camp commanders didnt agree. Because there is no written order to allow. It was reported in the newspaper on Friday. On Saturday late evening still no confirmation until after 11.00 pm. So I guess it takes more than 24 hours for the message to pass through the wiring services in the country. Who is at fault?

Communication is money......this is how I summarised it. When there is money to be made I believe things would be moving like fire......

So for those of you going out to celebrate Chap Goh Mei, may the night brings you blissful anticipation....Good day Malaysians
