My dept got a Dreamer type of guy (in terms of delivery of information and wanting to teach others). Experienced and well educated engineer who knocks around RM 20k+ a month (my own estimate). He is now Iceboxed and avoided by people around him- now just waiting for retirement in a few months time.

He would thrived well in a Malaysian educated or ol'skool of hard knocks or cinapek working environment; too bad its really matsalleh here (Debbie type mindset somewhat) and the Msians in the dept are more of Debbie's type of mindset.

Imagine this: Dreamer finds a Debbie subordinate- he gives her low rating and maybe less to no chance of promotion. Debbie finds a Dreamer subordinate- she gives him a low rating or maybe less to no chance of promotion.

See where I am coming from? Just saying there is no right or no wrong in life- is who has the big gun is the king. Or the most gun wins- aka majority.

squarepilot,

Really... Or, it is just 'Learned Helplessness" as per the URL...

<<somestimes its just gov fault for the country education system, or parents who are cannot afford their children fees>>

So what???

It is YOUR LIFE!!! If you want it to be BETTER, you have to DO SOMETHING to make it better.  You have to DO WHAT YOU CAN.

"Can Whine" attitude will not get you there.

"Can Do" will give you a shot...

Half of my parent's generation were massacred by Japanese Soldier during WWII in Malaya.  They survived and thrived.  They got NO HELPS and a lot of oppression from everyone else.

90+% of SRJK© are PRIVATELY FUNDED.  Chinese Independent School provide tuition waiver for capable poor student.  There are Private Scholarship and Charities in Malaysia.  Those people are not WAITING for government to do something.  They have a "Can Do" attitude.

<<somestimes its just gov fault for the country education system, or parents who are cannot afford their children fees>>

What you "Can Do" about this problem?? How much money do you donate to SRJK© and Chinese Independent school?? Ditto on Private Scholarship??

See above.  Why do people need to wait for the government to do something??
