The Management Has Been Right for 40 Years and More
I am seriously wondering if there is something wrong. Or perhaps, nothing is wrong. It’s just that when one has the power or authority for more than 40 years, one tend to be led into thinking that it can be used in any way and the powers that be should never, ever, be doubted.
Are we doubting it now? Perhaps. Since all these years, it has never, ever, said it was wrong in anyway. Wow. How infallible. With 40 years of management under its belt, it will not be wrong at any one time.
I have failed before. I have mistakes in my work. There were times when my mind was simply too tired or overworked to even think properly. We are only humans. Even animals make mistakes.
Ultimately, it’s always the ones who are at the bottom who are at fault. When employees quit, what is the reason? The one that is never spoken out loud but a survey proved it. There are also ways to get someone to quit too.
Anyway, I digress. It’s not about pushing the blame so that you get to keep your position. It’s about accepting that somewhere along the way, a decision wasn’t made that well and it led to this. It led to a Mas Selamat escaping from that window. A ledge was even built under it to facilitate his escape when others have failed to notice it. Neither the grilles were built nor the window’s size reduced.
Even shopping centres have smaller toilet windows or none. Men would say, “How come there is a door for the urinals? They have never, ever, encountered such a toilet that gives you the privacy, rather intimate since 2 men can enjoy their business by closing the door.
Let’s not even get to the discussion about CCTV in the area but not activitated.

Yes there are so many questions, yet no answers. If ISD is supposed to be a strict detention center, then it has failed because there are tons of loopholes waiting to be exploited. I find it funny when there is a zinc roof leading to the fence, and that Mas Selamat could have just possibly walked away, without needing to scale the fence. That is a big security flaw.
Who in this world will believe that sawing off the handle of a window makes the window secure? If so, there will not be any need for grills. When there is a misunderstanding between ISD and the contractor, why wasn’t the contractor re-hired to finish up the window grill?
They want us to give the ministers some leeway, but they have not shown the right to have such leeway. I still wonder, why keep the ISD chief. It’s quite obvious that all these flaws are not supposed to be there. Someone is sitting on a comfortable chair enjoying his goreng pisang.

These are questions where we won’t be ever answered. It’s all about double standards and cover ups. I just wonder why some mistakes can be accepted (for certain levels) while others have to be penalised.
