Today's news... "Employers 'addicted' to foreign labour, says Pak Lah"(Read More Here...) KUALA LUMPUR: The hiring of foreign workers in large numbers has become an “addiction” among Malaysian employers and this must stop, said Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

As usual, reading the news in the morning is what I always do every morning, unless I am damn busy and no mood lah...
What amazed me was one of the statement made by our beloved Prime Minister,
“We need to institute changes as soon as possible and make sure local workers are more skilled and knowledgeable to meet the challenges and needs of the industry,” the Prime Minister said in his winding-up address at the 58th Umno general assembly yesterday.
Abdullah said if productivity could be given a boost with the help of skilled and knowledgeable workers as well as a highly advanced system, this “addiction” on foreign workers could be stopped.
So, we must change... yes... we must change. Education System is the main issue here again...
Only if our education system is GOOD then only we can have skilled and talented graduates. A good education system is not only to have the students to excel academically but also non-academically. They should also be good in their soft skills such as interpersonal skills.
Industrial Training is also another good thing to have so that students can have a feel of "real" working life before they even start working.
Mindset is also another thing to be considered if we want to change. It is very important to have the correct mindset so that we will not be swayed or go out from he direction that we want to reach.
Talking about mindset...
KUALA LUMPUR: A Wanita Umno delegate from Kelantan said the uniforms of the female cabin crew of budget airline AirAsia are too short and “show too much skin.”
Kubang Kerian delegate Datuk Zaleha Hussin said the uniform was an embarrassment to women.
She called on the Government to compel the carrier to change the uniform of the stewardesses, which she felt was too revealing.
“Tell AirAsia to change their stewardess' uniform. We don’t want to see too much of their buttocks, thighs and legs,” she said, when debating the motion on religion and social issues yesterday.
Change of Mindset?
