Flight back to Malaysia

Lately i have been hearing about the declining quality of service of MAS on the e-newspapers. There are an average 30 flight delays in a day. It is said that the MAS employees are on a "strike" because of the management that does not appreciate the employees by not giving any benefit to them. Instead the people in higher positions that have only been employed for a mere 1 or 2 years have been given bonuses like theres no tomorrow instead of the employees that have been working of 15 to 20 years in MAS. I think thats really f*%ked up.

I guess that's the difference between an multinational company and a local company. Multinational companies realize that the main asset of the company is not billion dollars worth of machines, but its the employees. A company may have the best equipment in the world, but without good employees, they are worthless. Thats why multinational companies really take care of their employees. They know how to spot potential and wiling to pay more for better quality employees. I think in Malaysia there is this obsession of Management and sales people are "better" than technical employees thus they deserve better than their technical counterparts. Everybody wants to be in sales. But i think it is true in a way. No matter how smart you are, if u cant talk and sell your stuff, you'll be a "kuli" for the rest of your life.

I think the best would be a technical person that has a sense of entrepreneurship because he knows his stuff and he knows how to sell it, and because he knows his stuff, nobody can cheat him. Compared to pure sales people. They know how to sell, but when it comes to expanding their product potential, its a bit hard. Reminds me of a person i know. He is the TMNet regional manager in Johor. A UTM Graduate. He graduated in electrical engineering but now works for sales. because of his technical background, he really knows his stuff and what chance to take and the potential of each product. Form his appearance alone he sends out a signal that he is no ordinary man. Knowing him for half a year, i think he is one of the most resourceful and intelligent entrepreneur i have met so far (not that i have met many).

OK...I going so far out of topic...Actually what i wanted to say in this entry is I'm feeling a bit worried about my flight back to Malaysia. I'm worried if the flight is delayed too long, i might have a problem with a visa. My visa is valid till 30th September. Which happens to be the day of my flight. If i overstay in Germany, i might be in trouble...I hope nothing goes wrong...
