Into Business.....

2011-07-21T17:08:00.006+08:00

Assalamualaikum..,

Mmg dah lama sangat aku tak update my blog.... Kekadang tu sbb tak de masa... kekadang tu sbb sibuk yang AMAT...!!! Tapi yang paling tak dapat nak dielakkan ialah KEMALASAN TAHAP GABAN...!!! Mmg tak dapat ditolong lagi dah.... LOL...!!!

Antara sebab yang paling nyata ialah aku sekarang sibuk mengusahakan business TRUFFLE (tp bukan bisness truffles/cendawan dari Peranchis tu yer...!! Takkan berjayanya kalau aku usahakan dari rumah dengan cuaca cam kat Mesia ni....!!)

Kalau yang masih samar samar dengan apa kebendenya TRUFFLES ni... aku dah letakkan gambarnya kat atas tuuu...... enjoy.... :)

Dan kalau ade yang nak order, nak rasa, nak bagi gift or just suka suka nak makan silalah layari: http://crazybouttruffles.wordpress.com/

Hotels In Guilin and Yangshuo

2011-03-07T19:19:00.000+08:00

Guantai Hotel, Guilin

This is our hotel in Guilin. Namanya Guantai Hotel. Memang dalam bandar betul !!.. Senang nak ke mana mana.... Depan hotel tu kalau pusing ke kiri dan jalan kaki selama 15 minit pada waktu malam start dari pukul 7.00 pm till 12.00 midnite, ade macam pasar malam yang jual pelbagai barang cenderahati untuk dibawa pulang.... KENA tawar menawar tau !!!!!

Pasal hotel ni nanti aku citer ngan lebih lanjut.... Ratenya dalam RMB 200 = RM 100.00 semalam. 1 King size bed + 1 single bed. Memang cukup dan berbaloi-baloi... :) Nak pergi cari Restoran halal pun senang, jalan kaki sahaja. Kedai jed pun dekat.. memang recomend sangatlah tempat ni....

Ni siling dier..!! Canggih kan ??!!

Huating Holiday Inn Yangshuo

Hotel kat bawah ni namanya Huating Holiday Inn Yangshuo. Ratenya hanya RMB 238 = RM 120.00. Very Spacious and beautiful theme hotel. Hotel yang ala -ala zaman Dinasti Han. Worth it tau !! Dapat lah merasa macam mana hidup dlm zaman tu...

Makanan Halal Di Guilin and Yangshuo

2011-03-06T21:25:00.010+08:00

Makanan halal di Guilin memang ada cuma kena tahu kat mana dan sedap ke tak sedap jer.. Nasib baiklah driver van kitorang tu tahu nak cari makanan halal yang sedap sedap disamping usaha aku mencari di internet disamping menjengah bloggers lain yang dah pi ke Guilin.

Original Handmade Beef Noodle Restaurant

Restoran ni terletak kat Xicheng Pedestrian Road. Senang jer nak cari.... along the Pedestrian Road ni tengok kiri dan kanan, mesti jumpa. Makanan disini by handmade. Diorang buat mee dan kuetiau selepas kita order. So sangat fresh... !!!

Harga untuk 10 orang (5 dewasa, 5 children, 1 baby) = RMB 80 (RM 40.00)

Endian Halal Restaurant

Yang ni pula berdekatan jer dengan Restoran Islam. Memandangkan kedai Restoran Islam tu ade Wedding, kami terpaksa pergi ke Restoran Endian Halal Restaurant ni. Tak jumpa pun kat mana-mana blog yang mencadangkan restoran ni. Tapi, makanan dia sedap sangat.....!!!

Harga untuk 10 orang (5 dewasa, 5 children, 1 baby) = RMB 200 (RM 100.00)

Islam Restaurant

Ini pula Restaurant Islam dekat Xicheng Pedestrian Street. Ari tu datang tak boleh masuk sbb ade majlis perkahwinan. The next day, kami berkunjung sekali lagi untuk makan tengah hari. Makanan kat sini pun sedap juga....

Ketiga-tiga restaurant tu semua mempunyai harga yang sangat berpatutan. Especially, Ringgit lebih tinggi daripada Yuan. So, memang enjoy la makan kat China ni.

Harga untuk 10 orang (5 dewasa, 5 children, 1 baby) = RMB 220 (RM 110.00)

Nota kaki : Tukaran duit saya divide 2 sahaja... untuk senang kira... !!! Sebenarnya +- jer...

Trip to Ancient City, Guilin China

2011-03-05T17:45:00.000+08:00

Ini ialah Hotel Guantai, hotel yang kami tinggal selama 1 minggu di Guilin.

Moon Hills in Yangshuo

Karst all over Guilin, majestic and beautiful.

Cuti Tahun Baru Cina 2011 kitorang sekali lagi ke negara China iaitu Guilin. Tempatnya sangat terkenal dengan keindahan alam semulajadi yang unik dengan sungai sungai yang jerneh menglingkari bandar Guilin itu sendiri.....

Jadi untuk entri kali ini, aku tak buat day-by-day. Aku hanya rangkumkan 2-3 hari dalam satu entri okay... ???!!

Pengalaman yang aku tak boleh lupa ialah penerbangan ke Guilin dengan pesawat Airasia telah terpaksa berpatah balik ke LCCT setelah 2 jam di udara. Berdebar2 jugalah hatiku ni.... Aissshhh !!! resah tak terhingga.. Ini kerana pesawat tersebut telah mengalami masalah teknikal dan terpaksa mendarat di LCCT. Aku ingat setelah 1 jam berlepas, aku dah dekat dengan negara China, rupanya pesawat Airasia mengelilingi KLIA dalam bulatan yang besar.... Pesawat berkenaan terpaksa berlegar legar diruang angkasa sementara mendapat kebenaran untuk mendarat semula....

Heehheh... itulah pengalaman namanya kan ??!! After 1 jam menunggu di LCCT Boarding Hall, kitorang berlepas semula ke Guilin dan selamat tiba di Guilin apda pukul 2.00 petang. (Waktu Guilin and Malaysia adalah sama).

Hong Kong Disneyland – Day 5

2010-03-24T11:13:00.002+08:00

Some pix to show how we spent the 12 hours in Disneyland….

Hong Kong – Day 4

2010-03-23T10:48:00.000+08:00

After balik dari Shenzhen malam semalam, semer flat..!!! Kitorang sampai lewat ~~malam~~ pagi ekceli. Pukul 1.30 am baru masuk bilik. Tapi memang la best sangat. Kesian plak kat bebudak yang ikut kerenah mak bapak diorang kan ??!!! Tapi ade ganjarannya……. sebab diorang akan dibawa ke Disneyland for 1 whole day tomorrow..!!! Tapi memang nak bawa depa pun !!! Itulah tujuannya datang ke HK ni.

So today plannya nak pi jenjalan dalam Hong Kong ni. Nak pi naik feri cross Victoria Harbour, Victoria’s Peak (yang selalu kite tengok dalam filem2 HK tu !!) and nak pi Macau. Sempat ker nih….

Masa ni kami tunggu depan hotel kami iaitu Nathan Hotel and betul2 depan Nathan Road. Aku guna Booking.com. Dapat rate ok lah gak. Sbbnya hotel kat Hk ni mahal2 sebenarnya. Hotel ni satu malam HKD 600, so lebih kurang RM 300 la semalam. Phewww…

Masa ni plak kami menuju ke Star Ferry Terminal dan naik feri untuk pergi ke HK Island ataupun Central.

Bangunan2 yang ade kat HK Island ni lebih moden dan canggih. Masa tiba di jeti ade macam2 tourist agen yang nak promote kan products diorang. Memandangkan kita orang nak jimat masa takut tak sempat, kitorang hop into The Big Bus Company. Bus ni bawak kitorang pusing satu HK Island ni. And bus ni open-top bus plak tu. Maka. bertambah enjoylah lagi anak2ku…. hehehhe… Harganya plak aku dah lupa gak… tp boleh check kat website dier tu k…. Tak salah aku about HK 700.00 per family. Kat bawah ni adelah beberapa pics yang aku snap.

Naik bas ni boleh stop kat Lower Peak Tram Terminus. Kena stop kat sini sbb kitorang nak naik Victoria’s Peak.

Lepas turun dari Vic’s Peak, kitorang boleh naik the same bus for free. So naiklah kitorang untuk pergi ke MTR yang terdekat. Bila dah jumpa MTR tu, kitorang kena pergi ke Sheung Wan Station yang menempatkan kaunter tiket untuk ke Macau.

HAaaaaa.. last2 dah masuk dalam Turbojet yang nak pi ke Macau. Ni lah dalam keadaan Turbo Jet tu. Best !! Macam dalam plane jer.

Perjalanan ni mengambil masa lebih kurang 45 mins – 1 Hour Depends ngan keadaan air dan cuaca or twenty minutes by helicopter - with minimal visa requirements. Alhamdulillah kami selamat tiba after 45 mins jer….. Macau ni adalah bandar perjudian. Memang banyak Casino kat sini. Barang2 pun mahal…… So kami sempatlah pergi ke runtuhan St Paul’s Church yang dah separuh musnah akibat kebakaran. Selain daripada itu, kami juga sempat melawat Largo do Senado Macau Square. And as usual, memang ade tourist guide yang bersepah kat luar jetty ni. And again sbb nak cepat dan teratur, kitorang employ this Chinese man untuk bawak kitorang pusing2 Macau sambil bawak kitorang makan. Nak tau berapa kitorang bayar dier…… HK 800 for all of us naik van. So lebih kurang RM 400.00 utk 2 family. Ok lah jugak dari teraba raba nengok peta…!!! hehehhe…. :)

near Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro

The Senado square is paved with a wave-patterned mosaic of coloured stones, created by Portuguese experts. From the main road to the church of St. Dominic, the pavement extends to the ruins of St. Paul's, making the heart of the city a pedestrian paradise.

St Paul……… , which is all that remains ever since a disastrous fire in 1835.

Ruinas de Sao Paulo

Dalam turbojet nak balik ke Hong Kong.

Shenzhen – Day 2 and 3

2010-03-22T12:07:00.001+08:00

Pada hari kedua, kami naik MTR stesen Jordan ke stesen Prince Edward using Tsuen Wan Line dan bersambung plak dengan KCR di Kowloon Tong untuk ke Shenzhen. It tooks 52 minutes to reach Shenzhen and Shenzhen ni kiranya dah mainland, China. So kena cop passport and bagai2 lah…. Sama macam masuk new country lah… So for you to know more about the MTR in HK and going to Shenzhen via train, please click HK-Shenzhen.

Dalam KCR Train

Inilah dier KCR Train untuk ke Luohu, Shenzhen

My son standing while looking inside the train.

The Boyssss….

Luohu Commercial Building

Ni memang lah heaven untuk para peniaga. Rege dier mmg murah sangat. Banyak gaklah baju2 “Branded” yang bercop China dijual disini. Handbag2 “branded” pun banyak. Sebut jer nak berapa A. Nak 3A, 4A, 6A, 7A…. 10A pun ader.. hehehhe… Yang pastinya korang mesti tawar hampir 70% dari harga yang diorang letak. Handbag yang 4A keatas semer guna kulit betul (genuine leather). Tapi kena tengok betul2. Kot2 ade kulit *oink* *oink* k…. Rata2nya semer kulit calf la…. (kulit lembu).

Kalau nak beli, pakaian atau apa saja pun kat sini boleh dikira murah juga. Kat sini kami tinggal di Days Inn Shenzhen. Boleh recommend la hotel nih…. cantik, selesa dan murah. Satu malam lebih kurang RM 120.00.

Bilik hotel di Days Inn, Shenzhen. Super single.

Aku tempah bilik ni menggunakan Ratestogo.com

Dongmen Pedestrian Street

Zhong Fa Yuan Restaurant.

Ini adealah antara restoran muslim yang ade kat Shenzhen. Sejujurnya, makanan halal di Shenzhen lebih senang , murah dan sedap berbanding dengan Hong Kong. Kalau di sini, kita dapat rasa masakan Cina yang asli. Untuk 10 orang makan direstoran yang bertaraf 5 bintang ni, harganya tak lebih RM 150.oo. Nasi diorang ni memang seeedaaappp sangat tau…!!!

Tapi di HK lebih kepada makanan India muslim.

Selepas dah kenyang, kami pergi pula ke Wonders Of The World. Tempat ni amat menarik sbb semua bangunan yang terkenal didunia dibina pada skala yang kecil….

Pada sebelah malam pula ade show. Recommend sangat untuk pergi menontonnya.

Vacation : To The Orient

2010-03-22T11:37:00.001+08:00

Last week, my family went for a short getaway with another close friend (with family as well ) to Hong Kong, Macau and Shenzhen. Uisshh !! memang seronok laaaaa…!! My kids really enjoy the trip so.. so … much !! Actually me too.. hehhehe… Mana taknya, diorang ni nak sangat pi Disneyland sebenarnya… Memandangkan diorang ni masih kecik, bawak dekat dekat jer la… Insya Allah, dah besar sikit nanti bawak pi jauh jauh sikit macam USA, Paris or Tokyo.

After planning for a couple of months, berlepas lah kami dengan menaiki MAS pada pukul 9.15 pagi dan tiba 4 jam kemudian. Alhamdulillah. So memasing jagalah anak2 memasing k…. Dalam plane no hal. Sbb depa takleh nak lari mana2. Haaa, dah kat airport ni, kenalah berjaga jaga sikit… Ini termasuklah menjaga beg/luggage. Ini penting kerana banyak kes2 tourist kena tangkap sbb didakwa membawa dadah yang diseludup masuk kedalam beg tanpa disedari oleh pemiliknya. Alih2 dah tau kena cekup… nauzubillah….

Untuk pengetahuan semer, kami pergi ni tanpa menggunakan tourist guide. Hotel dan lawatan serta mencari restoran halal semer di cari sendiri. Maknanya sebelum pi kami semua search kat internet apa yang perlu diketahui. Ni kiranya nak adventure lah sikit. Lagipun kami rasa terkongkong kalau ikut tour group. Tau jer lah bawak anak anak nih…. :)

Avenue Of Stars.

Tapi sayang, kebus agak tebal kat sini…. so gambar pun macam berkabut jer…..

Bila lihat keadaan baby yang sakit camnih..., hatiku benar benar pasrah. Lidahku kelu, bahuku rasa sesungguhnya berat tetiba. Tetapi, itulah ujian yang harus dipikul oleh insan. Allah swt maha adil. Dia tidak sewenang2nya menguji. Orang yng dipilih itu memang benar-benar dapat memikul ujian tersebut. Kita melihat dan diam. Apa yang boleh kita lakukan selain memanjatkan doa agar bayi ini sembuh seperti bayi bayi yang lain. Ibu dan ayah bayi ini lagi pilu dan sedih terhadap apa yang terjadi kepada anak mereka. Rasanya lah kalau terjadi pada diri kita, apa agaknya yang akan kita lakukan............ sedarlah..... namun penderitaan bayi ini tidak lama.... setelah sebulan gambar ini dirakam, beliau kembali mengadap penciptanya....... semoga rohnya dicucuri rahmat.... Al-Fatihah.....

Day 4 - Kundasang morning visit to War Memorial Site

Of the six survivors, only three survived the lingering effects of their ordeal in order to give evidence at various war crimes trials in both Tokyo and Rabaul. The world was able to receive eyewitness accounts of the crimes and atrocities committed. Captain Hoshijima was found guilty and hanged on April 6, 1946. Capt Takakuwa and his second-in-charge, Capt Watanabe Genzo, were found guilty of causing the murders and massacres of prisoners-of-war and were hanged and shot on 6 April 1946 and 16 March 1946 respectively.

Ada diantara mereka yang terlibat dalam The Sandakan Death Marches.

By the end of the war, of all the prisoners who had been incarcerated at Sandakan and Ranau, only 6 Australians survived, all of whom had escaped. It is widely considered to be the single worst atrocity suffered by Australian servicemen during the Second World War.

Tak yahlah nak citer pepanjang pasal asal usul St Valentine nih kan..?? Korang pun dah besar and terpelajar pikir sendirilah.... Cuma satu jer yang membuatkan aku terfikir panjang.... What are the impacts to our children : The NEXT Generation. Dengan keadaan perang di GAZA, kebuluran disana sini, ekonomi yang merudum dan macam macam lagi... Sebenarnya, kasih sayang tak payah ditonjolkan pada satu hari tertentu.... bila bila masa lagi bagus... spontan dan surprise jer.... At one time, masa zaman aku tak tau ..mmglah terasa sungguh seronok dan mengasyikan, tetapi setelah dewasa dan sedikit matang (hehehe....) barulah menyedari bahawa keasyikkan itulah yang akan melalaikan kita...... Ade yang sampai tarik muka sbb BF tak beri hadiah bunga ker, coklat ker etc...... hehehehhe kelakor lak.... sbb bila dah sampai satu tahap, benda benda nih bukan menjamin kebahagian, kekayaan

Second Term In PTA

2009-02-04T20:44:00.003+08:00

Hehehehhee.... that was why I told you all about PTA yesterday..... It is becoz I am one of the active members. Well..... hmmmmm..... how should I begin to write for this new 2009 - 2011 term and the new line of peoples. Last term, I held one of the few top posts. But this year, I'll be looking at the new angle as I am only a normal member. What I can comment about our community is that, who ever bersuara lantang and make a comment, walaupun secara membina, will not be a favourite choice. I know myself... I will voice out my thought when I think it's needed. So, ade ler insan-insan sensetif yang tak dapat terima komen-komen tersebut..... tapi kan entah macama mana, nama I terselit gak kat dalam pencalonan tu and terpilih. Actually, after a very hard work during the 2006 - 2008 term, I don't think I would like to be involved again. Apa salahnyer kan beri orang lain plak chance untuk menganggotai pasukan ni. I am proud to say that, last term, our team had done indeed very well.... remarkably excellence.. !! Dapat kumpul duit banyak, full of activities and dapat berganding bahu dengan pihak sekolah. Malah nama sekolah kami selalu ler terpampang dalam akhbar-akhbar tempatan. Guru Besar pun boleh tersenyum sampai nampak gigi... hehhehe......

So, yesterday was our first meeting for this term. Ermmmm.... all the top post peoples ( as i predicted already... ehhehe ) a bit mellow and seems to agree with all the ideas, suggestion made by the school and the chairperson.. No questions asked !!! NO kidding.... and NO joke !! No further discussion as whether the ideas was ok or not or whether others have any ideas beside using the current funds and etc.. etc... etc... Not that I wanna think otherwise, as if ( as usual ) an agreement has been sealed between them. Hello ????!!!!!!

First thing first, ( i think ) the chairperson should took the ideas and further discuss this in our second meeting ( which will be in 2 weeks time .. ). Second thing, the chaiperson or the hons. secretary should table a presentation on what the PTA would like to do in the future. Lastly, the hons treasurer should come out with a budget ( an outline - paling tidak ler... ) for the year 2009. But wanno know sumthin' , the HM really did her homework .... bravooo..... ( **clap... clap... clappp...** ). She gave us not 1 but 2 working paper on how she needs the funds to be spend for the year 2009..... !!!!!!!!!!! keh keh keh keh keh .... aku gelak sengsorang jer.....

There should be no decision making in the first meeting as the member still need to know the new exco. We should have the "breaking the ice" session like the usual - being done in most of the companies whenever they organising seminars or course or whatever........

Wish me luck ( in fact a whole lot of it.... !! ) in this matter. If this was our third or fourth meeting, I've had their ears burned with my "piece of mind" !!!!!! LOL....

PTA

2009-02-03T09:22:00.003+08:00

PTA is abbreviation of Parents Teachers Association. Fondly known in Malaysia as PIBG - Persatuan IbuBapa Dan Guru. If you are a homemaker, you should... SHOULD join it.. !!! Some people thought that being a PTA member is a nuisance. Meeting...., meeting..., meeting...., asking money from the parents and bla... bla... bla.....

Seriously, PTA is a body that carry so much weight. It helps the school in search or to raise funds. The portion what Kementerian gave is not enough to generate the school project. The Government portion of money is merely for the "PNP" - Pengajaran Dan Pembelajaran ( is another abbreviation... hehehe...) meaning it is for the teaching materials and stuff for the students to understand the subjects.

PTA also can make an impact in terms of knowing our children's attitude, moral behaviour and academic achievements through the teachers. We can also ensure that our children can get the maximum benefits from the education programme at school. Children must also be encouraged to make use of the school facilities to help them in the school activities or curriculum and to make compulsory a clean and healthy school environment

As parents of children in the school, we must also promote the good relationship between parents and teachers by exchanging ideas and information about education in general. The PIBG society is also for the purpose of having forum and services for the improvement of our students, thus making the studying environment more conducive. PTA's most important purpose is to provide a platform between parents and teachers at school to voice their ideas, encouragement and grievances so as to uphold the school standard at the highest possible level, parallel with the saying, Cemerlang, Gemilang and Terbilang.

As the name applies, PIBG members consist of parents and teachers. In this association both the parents and teachers stand together at the same height. No one is higher than the other. You can have a PhD for that matter or being a corporate leader (or being a Tan Sri etc) and the teacher can be just a Diploma holder but in a PIBG we are all equals. Being equals means that we have equal voice. Being equal means that we don’t look down on others or expecting people to look up upon you. It is a place where we can joke, lough and make fun without prejudice.Being equals means that we can sit down and make rational decision for the benefit and to meet the PIBG objectives.

In many PIBG that I have seen, there are several malady that I see. On paper, the committee consist of parents and teacher. In reality the organization is run by the school i.e. the HM’s. The YDP comes and do opening ceremonies. The YDP and the treasurer just sign away monies as requested by the school. The exco rarely meets and when they do meet, it is just a matter of formality. During meeting it always a one way communication between the school head and the rest of the committee and the role of the YDP is limited to being the chairperson of that meeting. This is a serious illnesses. It is cancerous and dangerous. This is wrong. As in line with the PIBG constitution the children is our focus. The PIBG role is so clearly define by its constitution. It’s function is not to run the school or to maintain the school infrastructure. As parents and teachers we all must understand that the PIBG is a self regulatory organization that is independent of the school. The PIBG independence is the main thrust. If there is a clear instructions that PIBG cannot interfere with the school administrations, similarly the Registrar of Schools must come out and document in writing that school head as administrator cannot interfere in the running of the PIBG. The role of the school head is already well defined i.e. as an advisor. Many school head does not realized the scope of being an “advisor”. Being an advisor is different from being the head of the PIBG. The YDP and the committee consults and seek advice from the school head on issues related to regulations and meeting student needs. He does not report to the school head nor does he must toe what the school head says. They must play their respective role and find a win win situation that benefits the children. Both the parent and teachers must play a greater role in the PIBG. Parents and teacher must have the freedom to vote according to the people that they think can run the organization. In many case we see that the teachers has been instructed by the school head that they should vote according to instruction of the school head. The person that is elected are usually a Dato or Datin or a YB or a person that the HM’s is comfortable with. As I had mention in the initial part of this write-up, ranks, titles and your relationship and position with VIP’s are not important. Members (parents and teachers) must vote according to their free will and they must vote the people who can run the organization and not the person that warms up the chair. People who are elected must show that they are there not for their own children but for all the children or for the needs of special privileges. The formed committee must work. In this aspect, we mean that it must run programs as guided by the constitution. Before running any program it is good that the input from the school is obtained. Nothing in the law says that the PIBG cannot run any programs that is not approved by the school. Approval of the school in not necessary but is a matter of courtesy. PIBG can also run program outside the school for children. The basic is, they can do anything under the sun that is inline with their PIBG constitution and not going against the various Education regulation. To run any organization, be it PIBG or others, the committee members must understand the their constitution, their powers and their roles. A successful committee must work together as a team. It is indeed a very sad state of affair when we found that most PIBG are divided. This happen because certain Exco’s members wants to be in the good books of the school head and hoping to get special privileges. Usually there will be two teams, one that is aligned to the school head and the other that is against. A mature and respectable school head must understand its role of impartiality. He must not take side in the committee. He must work with the elected team, whoever they may be. He/She must not divide and rule. For the best interest of the PIBG, the school head must not get involved in the politicking of the PIBG. The members themselves need to shoulder some blame. Parents themselves don’t understand what PIBG stands for. It does not understand the purpose and role of the committee. They should vote the working team and not the team that is being promoted by the school head who shows bias. If your school head is aligned to certain group and and do not behave professionally during meetings then you can advice him or her. If advice doesn’t work than you vote the opposing team during the AGM. That will put the school head in a proper place. Effective financial management is important to any successful organization. Never spent beyond the capabilities of the organization. In an NGO like PIBG, there is no need to collect money more than what you can spend. Some PIBG is so proud that they manage to collect hundreds of thousand and keep their money in FD’s. This should not be the case. With proper planning, members don’t have to be burden and benefits is to be extended to the children. PIBG monies must be spend for the benefit of the children. Recently I had the opportunity to visit a primary school, where the the PIBG is not run by a committee but solely by the YDP. The PIBG built shaded car parks for teachers. Why? This is not inline with the PIBG activities. The same school also built a up market cyber cafe corner with high end finish (almost to the standard of star bucks) and wireless environment. For what? The children don’t carry notebook to school. Who uses this wireless environment? Out of 1000 students how many of them actually uses them. In the end of it became a showcase school as an example to foreign visitors. Beautiful infrastructure is indeed a welcome site and if you unlimited resources, you can built a replica of KLCC in the school compound using high technology materials. But we need to ask simple basic questions - is it worthwhile and beneficial for the children as listed in the PIBG constitution. What kind of direct impact does it have on the children. What is the cost benefit ratio. The finance of the PIBG belongs to the PIBG and not to the school. The school cannot simply decide on how the money is going to be spent. The PIBG committee must decide. The YDP must play his role. He or she must understand the rules and regulations and lead his team. Many PIBG has very weak financial management system in place. There is no documented procedure for application, approval, spending authorities and limits and no proper documented paper trail. Audit is also equally very weak. This creates a lot of problem for a lot of people. It may create transparency issue. Many PIBG committee do not wants to share what was discussed during meetings with its members. They feel, the members do not have rights to the minutes of meeting. This is wrong, what ever the committee decides it must be be made known to all members. There is no need to hide information from members. After all we are all equals. My observation also shown that the Ministry or the Education Department needs to conduct program about PIBG to school heads and the school PIBG committee. The objective of PIBG needs to be realigned to meet the challenge of the 21st century. The PIBG objectives must be expanded to include maintaining members database and promoting parents involvements in the organization. At the moment, officially resources cannot be used for this purpose. Training must be given to office bearers. The government needs to play its role, maybe by providing matching grants for every dollar the PIBG collect and spent for the children. The independence of the PIBG is important to ensure that the integrity of the organization is protected
