Should Parliament Sits More Days In A Year?

The above title is a question in respond to a suggestion made by one of the MPs from an opposition party.

My answer is....

I DISAGREE!!! The current sitting days are long enough already. You may have reasons. But I also have excuses that seriously demand your attention. I know the more days the Parliament sits, the more questions you can ask to Ministers. 

But do you know that it also claims more time of productive working hours of the civil servants!!! The civil servant's true job is to carry out the government program for rakyat. Not to preoccupy themselves with too much time, I repeat "too much time" preparing answer to all questions from the MPs. Which, it is a great loss to the rakyat to enjoy benefits from the programs that have been planned for implementation but will be severely affected should their focus shifted to other unproductive jobs. In financial term, I call it an expensive opportunity cost for the rakyat.

Do you get it? Probably the MPs should maximise the opportunity to ask during the break. Over coffee session?

Integrasi Nasional

Saya skoloh di Kampung Kute, Kelate masa kecik dulu. Masa sekolah rendah ada cikgu hensom ngajar ilmu alam. Dia berasal dari Perak. Nama tak ingat dah.

Tiap kali kami bising kat belakang dia akan jerit dari mejanya kat depan "Woiiii kat belakang sana, jangan BERSEMBAAANGGGG!"

Saya ore Kelate yang tak pernah dengar orang bercakap luar tak faham apa yang cikgu teriak tu. Lama kelamaan, saya faham maksud SEMBANG dan mula guna perkataan tersebut dalam karangan BM saya. Cikgu saya pun sudah mula berkecek Kelate. Saya juga mula faham sikit-sikit loghat utara walau tak reti nak kecek.

Alangkah indahnya kalau kanak-kanak di Sarawak pun dapat mendengar seorang Ustaz Kelantan berteriak dalam kelas "Oiiii belake sano jange dok GEGE gaaakkkk!" 

Integrasi nasional, kadangkala perlu mencampurkan yang warna hitam dan putih baru dapat kelabu. Kuning dan biru baru dapat hijau. Barulah berwarna-warni dunia ini.

Sekian, coretan Ripin Niknah di pagi raya :-)

IBS Can Reduce Over Dependence on Foreign Workers

Construction industry is among the highest employing foreign labours. The Works Ministry's initiative to promote IBS (Industrialised Building System), I welcome it. I am willing to make a proposal change in the policy related to my current job scope.

IBS will reduce the construction costs, cut over dependence on migrant workers, curb cash outflow amounting billions every year. A new supporting business sector will emerge. More entrepreneurs will be created to supply IBS' related products from concrete modules, concept designs, installation services to standard certification experts.

Therefore, a new set of construction regulations should be formulated. I acknowledge that it may take some times to fully implement it. But if there is a political will, the nation will sail to right direction.
