EDUCATION DOESNT MAKE A GOOD LEADER

Education doesnt make a good leader in a country in company and in people. It is love for the people and the nation that make the difference of leaders. All those leaders who say that everybody who wants to aspire to be the top must have university education. They are trying to protect their own turf. Education is a must but it doesnt mean that education will make a person a leader. Look at Bill Gate, the wealthiest man in the world, who has no university education but now he has an honorary doctorate degree. Back home Lim Goh Tong, the founder of Genting Resort, who had no education but he loved what he enjoyed and toiled for it. There was also Loh Boon Siew who made his fortune in Honda motorcycles. He could speak Hokkein dialect maybe some spoken Malay language but no university education and there is this Al Bukhary who has secondary education yet he succeeded in this corporate world controlling strings of public listed companies in the country. In politics there is Syed Razak who was the chief minister of Kedah for one and half term with no university education but he loved his job and his politics. A leader must grow within. Without it a leader can't go far.
