In my life,I have faced many uncertain circumstances.And today,I have found the solution of all the great things happened.It is due to our fate.Good and bad things from Allah s.w.t since we are the best mankind.We will be safe,secure in whatever things we do as long as we keep Al-Quran and Hadiths.InsyaAllah

When I was a young boy,I dare to dream.Dream and hope to Almighty.Being a daring person normally will create either into two situation,either winning situation or losing situation.Sometime neither winning nor losing situation.As time goes by,growing up step by step,I face challenge.Fighting is always for reason.Some funny guys called me The Rebellious Boy But Some good boys called me The Changer.I happy with whatever people called me because I know Who knows me better who is my Creator.The bad time is not an option but is an oppurtunity that is granted by our Creator to achieve a better life now,tomorrow and hereafter.Of course,nobody love to be heavily critisized but when we read the history of The Chief of All Leader,Prophet Muhammad S.A.W,he had been heavily critisized by his own family and his community at the early stage of spreading the one and only religion that is granted by Allah,Islam.I am OKAY and Great Things I really Understand,I know WHO really I am.Give Thanks to Allah S.W.T

The Higher We Hike,The Deeper We Fall

2009-06-01T07:46:00.000-07:00

As time goes by,we are in 3Q of 2009.That means we have passed half of the year.When I was a kid,I always see myself as a successful figure.I always tell myself I can do!I always convienced my self I can explore the world that so called IMPOSSIBLE for me.Finally it I M POSSIBLE.Yes,there were time we were on the top of our performance.We have what men dream.As we are growing older,we learn about why we are here.On the land of Allah.Under the deep sea or on top of hill.We are lucky because we can see.See things from deep of our heart.We went to school to get the education.We went to work because we want to earn our living.We fight for morality cause.But sometime we forget that we just the slave.Slave of the real SLAVE OWNER,ALLAH s.w.t.As time goes by,I realise that things always happen for reason.Either Good or Bad,Better or Worst.At the end of the day,we will carry ourself.All my life,I always believe that tough time never last,but tough man always survive.We are the one who paint our life either good or bad.Bad time is the best time to learn and learn.I always believe that Allah is always with us.Allah will always help his Slave.May ALLAH save us.

CONGRATS BARRY!

2008-11-12T12:30:00.000-08:00

First,I heard about the name of Barack Hussien Obama when I was in my final year(somewhen in 2006).During that time then,my good friend from Jakarta, who was then a comittee member of Indonesian Student Society in my university told me that there is an ambitous African American who will be the next President of United States.Somehow,when I look at the Barrack's photo,I remember the late Frank Sinatra.A capable young man who will influence the world policy.Hopefully his policy is supporting modern economic policy.In the past,the U.S need wars to boost up their economy.Perhaps he will fix what is going around in the States instead of attacking the outside world.I am confident with the new President of United States since he was promoting 'CHANGE WE NEED".CONGRATS MR.PRESIDENT BARRACK HUSSIEN OBAMA!

Selamat Tinggal Penderitaan...a favourite song of mine

2008-10-09T10:44:00.000-07:00

Selamat Tinggal Penderitaan

Langkah demi langkah
Aku teruskan jua
Masa demi masa
Sampai akhirnya
Terima kasih
Atas penghinaan
Yang kau lemparkan

Tangga demi tangga
Kita daki bersama
Jatuh terluka
Bangun semula
Terima kasih
Atas kesakitan
Yang telah kau berikan

Kerana itu penghinaan
Juga cemuhan
Diganti dengan kepujian
Dan kemuliaan

Airmata menjadi permata
Kebencian menjadi cinta
Inilah hidup did dalam dunia
Bak sandiwara

Selamat tinggal kesengsaraan
Selamat tinggal penderitaan
Terima kasih atas pengalaman
Yang kau berikan

Kini terbukti
Cinta yang kualami
Bukannya mimpi
Lautan api boleh menjadi
Oh! taman salji...

The wealth of Malays and her values

2008-08-06T11:22:00.000-07:00

Today,after a hard day at work in Ampang,K.L,finally I am get home and about to laid on my favorite bed in my 'Kampong' house in Pasir Puteh,Kelantan.A bit tired today since my career deal a lot with people from all walks of life.After office time,I shot to airport with my brothers to fly from KL to KB.With my eldest cousin,later we met someone at the Renaissance Hotel Coffee House,KB for some discussion.Later I met a very wise old man.I asked his oppinion and thoughts about the Malays and he gave me a very positive feed back about our origin.He said the real wealth of malays and her core values is the way we threat people.We are rich in the point of respecting people and helping each other.However,there are people who try to play with the fire.Sparking up the fire plug to destroy us.For those who are trying to do so,its better to prevent the fire because it takes pain and tears to stop the fire.Lets unite for the sake of our country,for the sake of our future and the most important chapter is to achieve out vision and mission to be a developed country by 2020.Remember,we are here because of our forefather and the past generation.None of them want to see their kids play with the fire because they understand the fire better.

The Living Legend:SIR WILLIAM WALLACE

2008-07-23T04:20:00.000-07:00

Today,as I was in my office doing work,somehow my attention was diverted to this name,Sir William Wallace of Scotland.When I was a student back then in Newcastle,I loved to drive my car to the historical place almost around the UK.I did drive to country side with my sister and sometime with my friends.One of my favourite historical city is the Edinbrvgh,Scotland.Sir William Wallace was a famous Scottish patriot.He was the Man who lead the race against the English occupation to Scotland back then in 14th century.His famous qoutes was "EVERY MAN DIES,NOT REALLY EVERY MAN LIVES".

Labour Issue:The Foreign Labour who Seek Golden Oppurtunity at the "SUVARNABUMI' Malaysia

2008-07-19T11:20:00.000-07:00

Dear valuable friends,

This evening,I have watched the Awani@ Astro,a favourite talk-show known as "Perspektif Kita".The Issue was about the Foreign Labour Supply in our country.There was a great debate and talk then.The corum was filled by the right personalities,from Politician,Businessmen and Government Officials.Recently,there foreign labour supply has increased due to many factors,rising from economic factors such as rising of local labour cost to cultural and social factors.As we are moving forward towards a developed society,we shall need a better unit of integrated controlling mechnism to syncronised the foreign labour supply to our country.

For me,in my perpective of view as an employer in a small firm,whenever I am about to employ the personnel,I care about delivery.Based on my personal experience,the foreign labour always delivered a better service especially the general workers.Without them,the goods won't be delivered accordingly.To manage them,it's not hard.As long as we understand their needs and expectation,things should be done accordingly.

When I was a young gentleman,I was a foreign student in the foreign land.To support myself,I did part time job.(General Workers).I remember,my previous employer has been nice to me even though I was a foreigner.I always convienced myself to be nice to employee as possible.However,we should realise where our foots are.

Most probably my perspective of view is applicable into microsociety.As for me,I am not cormfortable if one day,our government will impose the tight control of the supply of foreign labour to our country.Imagine,how we are going to build up the building without them?Who is going to pick up the rubbish without them.We need them,but we have to integrate them to our society.

As Example;Why not we look at the way the Middle Eastern handle with the foreign labour?or we could take the Europeant Government deal with this issue?At the end of the day,we as a Malaysian should always defend our economical factor.The most important things that we should always consider,the PRICE that we have to pay.

COME ON:DON"T LOOK BACK IN ANGER..petrol price,dinar currency,inflation,jobless.....THERE WILL BE WAYS TO SOLVE

2008-06-30T07:32:00.000-07:00

First and foremost,

I would like to say thanks to ALLAH al-mighty for his mercy and bless for giving me good health to work,to stand up speak up,and fight for the right.The right as a Y-GEN of MALAYSIA.Everyone knows that our country is facing a political turbulance as the result of General Election.Whatever it is,the new government aged of hundred days is already established.Currently,It seems that everyone is worried of the shooting price of gasoline.I want to advice my fellow friends not to put the blame on the government.This is due to increase of petrol price in the global market.We can't do anything because we aren't the price taker.All we can do is to make use the energy resources as optimise as possible.Yesterday,the TOK GURU has made a suggestion to replace our currency system to dinar system.Look,if we translate the words dinar into english,it means currency.It is a good suggestion,but if we go back to the history of paper money dated in 17th century,mankind created paper notes to replace the carrying of gold bar.The GOLDSMITH back then in England started to use paper notes to improve the security since a lot of the gold bar owner had been robbed.The question is,how effective is the dinar system?It will required a lot of time to make this change.Secondly,as we are moving forward,we want things are simplified and effective results.Somehow,we have to see things as a whole.not for personal interest.Talking about the jobless issue,we have to face the challenge of the millenium.If we don't have job,why not we create our own job.Never stop thinking on how to sort our problem.We will find way.Last but not least,I would like to remind myself that All the good deeds from Allah s.w.t and bad deeds from our own weakness.

IN ALLAH WE TRUST,TO NATION WE SERVE

Friends:Please Listen to the Wise OLD MAN

2008-06-28T12:47:00.000-07:00

After a series of tough episode of my life,I start to pen my thoughts and opinions again.To all my friends,I would like to say a gratitude thankful for visiting me during my late father's funeral,tahlil and the most important,moral support.I wish you happiness and a happy ending.Currently,our country is facing a political turbulance.A a young Malay,I feel that I am responsible to pen at least a piece of mind to Malaysian.A gentleman aged 25 like me or (so called Y generation) should learn to appreciate what our late forefather had been fighting for.I don't understand why there are people who try to break our political peace and harmony.I may be nobody but as a Malaysian,especially the young generation,they should think forward.See through all the possibilities of every event.I remember my late father used to remind me on how important to live in peaceful and harmony.When I was a young boy aged 7 yrs old I was forced to watch news,prime time news and world news.As I growing older I was exposed to financial news.I remember when I asked my dad,why should I watch the news?He said,son it's important to watch what is going around the globe.If we the young generation of Malaysia could not unite,I am afraid the we are losing the touch of midas.I am afraid that we are going to loose our steering.For friends who read my blog,please don't ever let our country down.We live in a harmony country whereby we could go for mamak stall at night.Even in Newcastle,England they can't simply go out at night due to street stabber.My wish to my dear friends,please make our country as harmony as possible.Stop fighting.Somehow we need to follow the traffic light rules.Green when we need to go.Yellow when we need to be ready.Red....it's time to stop.If they hit the red light,they will get caught by CCTV.

The Late Tan Sri S.M Nasimuddin S.M Amin
I would like to wish my heartful condolonce to the father of Malaysian automotive industry,The Late Tan Sri S.M Nasimuddin's family.He has departed to a better place.I believe that he has contributed a lot of good deeds to the nation.He was a very humble businessman.According to a good friend of me,who was a senior executive at Naza Group before venturing his own business,the late Tan Sri always bought his own newspaper at the newstall next to his Menara Naza,Kampung Baru.He started his business very small with 5 staff and now he has 4000 people worked with him.Alfatihah.His spirit of entrepreneurship shall lies in every Muslim businessman to achieve at least the best.Nothing more and nothing less.Alfatihah and and May Allah rest his soul with the Mursalin,Anbiya' and Solihin.

The Swordfish Way

2008-05-01T12:35:00.000-07:00

First and foremost,I would like to thank God almighty for what was given to me.I just want to share.A true story.It's called the swordfish way.A lot of people cares about rising to the star but they forget who create the stars and moon and Who create the world.It doesnt belong to us.I does belong to Allah almighty.The swordfish way is a problem solving way of thinking.At metro,we encourage our management personnal and associates to think this way around.Never ever fear of falling and losing.Because from failure,the new doors are like to be opened.I believe that our corporation will be growing repectedly.

Risk Apetite:Learning Moderate Ways

2008-04-27T09:52:00.000-07:00

Today,I would pleasely share a true story from a good friend of mine.My friend, he's a successful entreprenuer based in Malaysia.He's highly educated person,armed with degree in Engineering plus Masters in Finance from a university.He hold shares in couple of private limited companies and generated a great amount of income to him.I know him through a good friend.He told me that not many people success in his/her venture because they love to assume.According to him,if we assume somethings,then it will create the worst situation,"ASS U n ME ".He encouraged me to learn moderate ways of running things.I start to listen from him.He told me that,Mukhzani If you want to turn your corporation from scratch,you need to sacrifice.You need to do a lot of things that you need to do and admit the consequences that you are going to face in the future.He encourged me to develop the asset around me.I am very thankful to know him.He's my mentor now.I hope that I will ensure that I could make things happen.Time will tell everythings.I look far ahead beyond the time.I always imagine myself always ahead than others.But there are always ups and down.I win some and lose some.I admit that.Now I am not afraid to to fight with anyone because they are just a human being.I am confident that I am going to have a very bright future ahead.I am not afraid to lose what I have for the sake of learning moderate ways.Islam means moderation.Islams means civilization.Islams means properity.We live in a country where Islam is the official religion and as a citizen of Malaysia,I will ensure to work harder than before because our future is uncertain.It's solely depends on us.We need to look far beyond time.Looking back a few step in the past,there are a lot of people who loves me and there are also few people who disagree,hates and dislikes me.For those who loves me,thanks for your loves and for those who disagree with me,I would like to say grateful thanks for critisizing me.I admit that it is the risk of being "Marginal",not the average.A lot of Marginal figures died in thier battlefield but their spirit never dies.

Malaysia:Great Future Ahead

2008-04-24T06:38:00.000-07:00

As 12th General Election has passed by.The people of Malaysia has realised the importance of integrity of people.I always believe that great power comes with great responsibility.The result of election has shown of uncertain result of our future.There are winners and losers.The winniers has secured their rights for another 5 years and the losers will never give up trying.For me,that is the fundamental of politics.After 50 years of independence,as a citizen of Malaysia,I am very happy to see the leaders of states sat down and talk on a round table.Eventhough each leader has different political stand,but they are carrying the hope of their people.People like me never expect anything unless to pay the reasonable amount of tax to the government.All we want is the right person to serve the nation.Globally,the world is facing the stiff competition.Look at the world food crisis.The are people in India now only afford to pay for their dinner.Price of food has increased due to manipulation of price by the irresponsible price taker.Who are them?I think I just cannot exposed them due to incompetence evidence.But I believe that there are people who are responsible to cause the increase of food price.I am very confident that our current government could take care of this matter.Now I have seen the reason why our prime minister encourage people to go for agri-business.If we look back into the world history,before any war happen in the past,the enemy always find a way to poison the food supply.Luckily,Malaysian Governent is backed by the "Smartest Brain".As a citizen,I pray to Allah to take care of our country.I beleive that we will manage to overcome the world food supply crisis.We MALAYSIAN will stand by our national believe(MALAYSIA BOLEH) to face the future and welcoming the great future ahead.

My favourite words since early days....MY WAY

2008-04-19T11:25:00.000-07:00

And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, Ill say it clear,
Ill state my case, of which Im certain.

Ive lived a life thats full.
Ive traveled each and evry highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, Ive had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, Im sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.

Ive loved, Ive laughed and cried.
Ive had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
No, oh no not me,
I did it my way.

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!

Stimulation of development:Education

2008-04-15T14:20:00.000-07:00

As a young Malaysian,I am very proud of my country.Our founding fathers and mothers have sacrificed a lot to develop this country from a piece of land that was known as Tanah Malaya.The penisular of Malaya was a rich state.It was called as 'suvarnabumi' in old sanskrit bible.The penisular of Malaya was rich with resources and till now,our country Malaysia is a rich country.As a young servingman to this country,I continously believe that to sustain the development of any nation,to stimulate the development,the most important share should goes to knowledge.As a muslim,I believe in Allah SWT and Prophet Muhammad SAW,the last messenger to human being.The first verse sent to our prophet SAW was "Iqra"......which means "Read!"........Education could be formal or informal.The best teacher is always experience.Those who win always sell the success stories and those who lost always write down the precaution specs.Whatever it is...knowledge is important.

6 th Dec 2007,

Today,I was having a group discussion for my MCR(Managing Corporate Resources) subject presentation.In my group,we are consisted of 5 people from different countries.It does remember my time back then in England when I was an International Student back then in the country when I did my undergraduate studies.We were discussing on Desicion Making Subject.Good things I learned today,our when a group of people from different background of culture,education and origin works togather to solve a problem,I found that the Idea on solving the problem cames from so many point of ways.This is good because we can use the leverage of Ideas to solve our problem.We will do our best and InsyaAllah we'll do our best.

Once upon a time,there were a group of Malay students in Newcastle upon Tyne.They never know and experienced and what was ski-ing sports alike.They discussed,plan and go.The first day,they attended the ski-ing class.For the Asian,it is hardly to find this kind of sport especially for in South East Asia country.All they did,they made the research,find the right time,made the cost estimation and finally they managed to challenged themselves to try something new.They challenged themselves to climb approx.4000m slopes in La Clusaz,France and go.This kind of experience never been published in Newspaper across the country because they were reluctive people and believe in being private.The moralle of the story,we will never know how high we could go until we challenge ourselves to do so.Allah is always with us.Alhamdulliah because the author was part of the team who discovered the place.The author remember,when they asked where we from,they never heard about Malaysia.The place is located next to Mount Alps.How great is God creation.Alhamdulillah.

1st May 1958

On the East Coast of Malaya,Malays have been engaged in business for quite a long time and it is more urgent now than ever before that these Malays should learn"know-how" of modern business,if they were to sucessfully compete with the others in the economic life of the country.There is where American capital with its modern outlook,which enables investors,labour and the country to benefit can play a useful role in helping the Malays.Furthermore,as (Rockefeller) himself had mentioned,British investment in Malaya is not meeting much competition and as a result has the monopoly in the Federation.For the sake of private enterprise,which really thrives on competition,and for the sake of British investment itself,it is necessary to introduce American capital in order to stimulate competition.Mr Rockefeller agreed with my contention.

Private Library of the author

It was a statement of one our founding father of Malaysia,The late Tun Dr Ismail in 1958 when he was a Government representative in the United States.I came across to jot down about this particular issue for the sake of a young Malaysian.We are the youth who inherit the nation prosperity,integrity and vision 2020.For those who understand history,politics and business,they should know who Rockefeller was.He should know who Tun Dr Ismail was.They were the men who preach their words and fast desicion maker during their time.The late Rockefeller was one of the richest man in the world during his time.What I am trying to share here,If you believe that you can do,just do it.After 50 years of independent,I know some of Malay that stil have no confidence in their idea.I am not trying to be a philanotropist,but I feel that a responsibility to share my words.In reality,the NEP has developed our nation but we need to look forward.As a man who believe in human capital development,now is the time when young Malaysian should develop their labour of love.As a man who is originally from East Coast of Penisular Malaysia,I am confident with what I am doing now for the sake of greater future ahead.Allah is always with us.Worship Allah and believe in Muhammad(S.A.W).

Last night,before I am off to bed,I played my oldschool records.It was My Way by The Great Frankie.I played the song for couple of time.In some circumstances,the song relatively coincident with my life .It 's good to look back couple of step,learn from what happened and the most important things is to see the way ahead.I believe that we are honest and have principles in life,we will make a good living in this world and hereafter.I remember a good old friend told me "Muz,masa muda foya-foya,bila tua kaya-raya,bila mati masuk syurga"...Ameen...But in life,there are a lot of unexpected occasions.Sometime we have to get prepared to face uncertainty.However,when we deal with unexpected event,always remember that it just an event.Time goes by and never wait for us.Time is so precious.If we used to be frozen in time in the past,its good to do revolving method,re-engineering our current life and future plan and makes thing happen.Believing in labour of love is a key factor to success.Friendship first,competition 2nd!

Today,I enjoyed lazy Sunday with my good old boys.It was a good lazy evening hang out.When I was younger,especially during my engineering students years back then in England,We had car boot sale hunting and lazy Sunday Pub.But then,back home in my country lazy Sunday is more attractive.We went for coffees at KLCC and later went to BB walks for dine and listening to the open air live band.I start to value and appreciate all the nice things that we see everyday.Looking back for a few step is good especially when we want to keep ourself on track.I remember,my dad's best friend,a religion scholar,Datuk Hj Ahmad Shahir B Hj Daud( Ex-Chief Imam of National Mosque) always remind me about the beauty of life.He said"whatever state of our life,whether we are in good times and bad times,remember Allah Al-mighty!"Looking back to what has happened in the past is good to make sure we are on the right track.For me,life is not about making Quids 24/7.They are many aspects of life that we need to balance.Balancing is important.I hv been in my career since last 7 months.In fact,It is a challenging task.Speed is important.But never get caught speeding!When we talk about career.Different people does different job to make a living.There are rich society and poor society.To makes things balance,education does help for those who knows to make use and practise their knowledge.What ever we do we need to be patient and persistance.I appreciate ethical values and high degree of morality when it comes into dealing with my works.Good friends we have,good friends we lost a long the way.Yeah probably the late Bob was right.What he was trying to say always be positive when we look forward.When we talk about wealth,for me 4 important elements are spiritual,physical,mental and emotional.That is true wealth.I am not using this blog to make myself as a well known philanotherapist,but I am just sharing my mind.In this life,there are people who likes us and probably dislike us.It just the prove of balancing.When people dislike us,just take it easy.Take it as check and balance.And then look forward.We are going to forsee the future.It is good to be a listener.Probably that is the reason why we have 2 ears and 1 mouth.To make tomorrow a better day,then we have to plan today.It is tomorrow when we are going to be more matured and experiences.We are going to have a nice future undertakings.Welcome tomorrow......Where dream comes reality.

When I was a student at Newcastle,one of the most entertaining day was Sunday.I did rejoice the lazy Sunday.There was a pub near Jesmond which played chilled musics.It was so cool indeed.Lazy Sunday in Ampang is different.So many things I could do over here.From having coffee with good friends and meeting my customers.Student time is always the best time especially when we stil learning what is the means of QUID!Now is the age of earning Quids.It a challenging life but I enjoy what I am doing now.Building up my company from scratch and doing MBA at IIUM.Good things about IIUM's MBA,I learned what is halal and haram.How wonderful Islam is.For those who are interested to study MBA in Malaysia,I would strongly recemended this place.It is because of the quality that is provided by the university.It is an Islamic University.In this world,there are few good Islamic University.One of them is located in Malaysia.

It where the dream start...2004

Dear friends,
Thanks for viewing my blog.The purpose of writing blog is to share my experience with the blogger community.Beside that,the blog is very practical way of communication especially to be in touch with friends from all over the world.Herewith I will share some nice and valuable life experience for those who wants to appreciate it.Nowadays,it is the age of interdependence.We need each other.Competition is good to produce a better quality of products and services.However,for me I appreciate friendships more than competition.Most probably you have read my profile.I am Mukhzani Hj Manaf of Malaysia.I am a full time MBA student and MD of Metro Intergroup Private Limited Company.It's sound goods.In reality,it is a new company.I am working hard to identify which pathway the company should go.In the university,I learn on theoritical and in reality I am making one.Knowing myself,I am a kind of steady-grow person.Through experience,I learn step by step.Let me share some points with you.When I was an engineering student in England,I was not a top student in my class.I often got average marks.The reason why,because I have been observing how the businessman thinks.What they do and how they make the desicion.How they make new contacts.It was in England.The culture is different.In Euroupean Countries,the business practise is different.Over there,people believes in if you good,you are good.If you have money,you can buy the old castle and drive Bentley.The Europeans are very independent.They are daring to dump a lot of money to Research and Development without expecting successful return.In fact,their quids could buy a lot of good and quality things.They are inventors.Due to highly labour cost,they tend to find alternative ways of solutions as problem arise.In business code of practise,most of them respects the business law.As example,I was an e-Bay user while I was a student in Newcastle upon Tyne.Every time I bought goods online,they manage to sent to my door on time.Their shipping infrastructure is very efficient.Good things about British is they mind their own business.As problem arise,they are looking forward to solve the problem instead of blaming each others.As I listen through my eyes,they value time.They have a good entreprenuership spirit.When I did my final year project,my supervisor was Mr Phil M Hackney.He is a great geordie man for me.He contributes a lot of RnD in Manufacturing Industries especially SME in Northeast of England.Well that is the European Culture.Now I am in Malaysia.Malaysia is located in South East Asia.We are part of ASEAN countries.Let me explain in briefly about my country.We have got independence from British back then in 1957.This year we celebrated 50th anniversary of independence.We are part of Commonwealth county.We are part of NAM countries.As compared to other ex-colonial countries,we have move forward.For me,I give the credit to the past and present political leaders because the manage to create the sustainable political stability.We have 3 major races,Malays,Chinese and Indian plus others.Back in 80's,we were a agro-based nation.We were nothings.That time,there was an ambitious young doctor named Dr Mahathir Mohamed.In 21 years,he spinned Malaysia to one of the most fastest developing nation in the world.In just 20 years,he managed to build up the tallest twin tower in the world.Making Petronas as a global company.A credit should goes to him.For me he is a great leader.Some people says the way he think was how to make RM 10 using RM 1.He is an absolutely professional risk taker.In the millenium age,the business culture has change.The rapid development in ICT makes people get in touch faster.It benefits people all over the world.Information spreads faster.This is very good indeed.Without the ICT,I would never share my words with the bloggers from all over the world.Lets back to business culture in Malaysia.Since independence,Malaysia has grown to a prosperous nation.With our political stability,we are moving forward to achieve our Vision 2020.In a month time we will hit 2008.We have another 12 years to achieve the mission.I believe that the vision could happen as long as every part of society participate in developing our beloved nation.The business culture in Malaysia is influenced by Asian Culture.In Asia,business is dominated by Arabian,Chinese and Indian culture plus Western business style.Since Cultural is a very wide and sensitive issue,I would emphasise the important issue.To make sure the sustainable political stability in this country,back in 1970's the 2nd Malaysian Leader,The Late Tun Razak introduced NEP(New Economic Plan) to boost up the race that was slightly backward during that time.Now in 2007,as I attended an entreprenuership seminar in SME Bank early this year,the statistics makes me unhappy.In Malaysian business,we manage to win just 18% of the market.To makes myself clearer on the particular issue,I have done my own investigation on the particular matters.I read the books written by Dr Mahathir in 1960's.It was a consterversial book then.The Malay Dillema.As far as I understand,the book is good for those who understand what he was trying to say.When I decided to start up my company,I faced so many difficulties.Some people says that I was crazy because I left a prestigous engineering job as a junior mechanical engineer.Somepeople says that you are nobody.How to win the business deal.Some people said you have no experience.Some of friends ignored me.My long time ex-girlfriend(that I was thinking to marry her) left me all alone when I told her that I am going to set up my own company.I remember she said"What is the proposal that u could make my life secure?"But then again,I am glad because there are some good friends who give me the absolute moral support.At first I was afraid that I am going to fail.But from failure and success makes what we are today.When I read the book written by Dr Mahathir,then later I understand and to be understood.I get back to basic of life.Fortunately my teenagers days in England helps me a lot to deal with unnecessary thinkings.Well it just a piece of cake anyway.Now I believe that to be a successful in life,the first rule is to be positive.From a positive attitude,we will be more creative.From a positive attitude we learn to be more innovative.High degree of understanding and tolorence is important.Don't kick someone if u wouldn't want to be kicked.Respect the law.Take the calculated risk.Don't be too ambitious.And the most important things is to be more private and confidential.In life we need to be balance.In engineering,its says we need to balance the rigid body.And now,knowing myself,to achieve,we need goals.But make sure we have an achievable goals.Make sure we think on our foot.Make sure we don't hurt people.Till this day,I learn a new way of marketing.Islamic way of marketing our products.For me,as a Muslim Businessman,whatever we do is ibadah.That is important words to bear till we leave this world.Good IBADAH will automatically creating a good business.For Malaysian who understand Malaysian Language,I would suggest a book written by Dato Dr.Rusly.Jutawan Senyap.Interprated in English means The Silent Millionaire.It could give a brief scope and responsible of a Muslim Businessman.For me,there are good points that I could ponder.And for me,I am abide by this law of nature.I will hire those who I trust.How we are going to do business without trust.Avoiding and preventing from conflict is better than cure.This is the basic law of nature.Finally,I would like to say many thanks to the man who create the blog.Hopefully I am going to make use of the technology of ICT for speeding up the development of my company.As now,we have to 2 people on grounds.Me as the MD(in reality I am the Chief Exec and I am the Office Boy) and my brother.We are planning and preparing to be a Glocal Brand one day!
