Have a Meaningful Hari Malaysia
STAY MEASURED TO MOVE FORWARD
“BERPADA-PADA”
- Don’t overdo it. Don’t underdo it.
Do it just right.
We are living
in an era of extremes where sensationalism dominates. To get attention, many go
overboard. Our young risk their lives to take selfies and videos at the edge of
tall buildings and sadly, many have lost their lives.
Our political
actors pick the worst examples from their opponents and promote them as
mainstream – to paint the worst picture possible about the other. They also go
to extremes to point out our differences; things that separate us. Not things
that can bring us together – our similarities and shared values.
In the
corporate world, we must be watchful too. We must be measured in dealing
with our multigenerational challenges instead of falling into rigid
stereotyping – comparing and being condescending.
It takes wisdom
to be measured. Being measured is a choice and a respoinsibility.
We must be measured in our thoughts and actions and when the foolish go
extremes, we remain steadfast and not react in similar fashion but instead
offer peace.
Being measured
is a sign of a beautiful Malaysian.
In politics, we
use the Rukun Negara and Perlembagaan Persekutuan as our compass – both are measured
documents prepared by measured leaders, our forefathers. In dealing
with multigenerational challenges we practice the 6Cs – communicate, compromise,
complement, collaborate, compassion, and commitment. We are clear that
ultimately our business and corporate goals are to serve customers, not our
generational desires.
To be measured,
our young must remember who they are as a person; their character and
contributions speak louder than the photos and videos they post on social
media.
Let us STAY
MEASURED TO MOVE FORWARD - Don’t overdo it. Don’t underdo it. Do it just right.
Let us add
value,
Have A
Meaningful Hari Malaysia.
