FEARLESS : FROM KAMPONG
BOY TO CEO
As
one of the beneficiaries of 1 Malaysia Book’s Voucher , I appreciate it so much
. With 5 pieces of small receipt, I enjoyed 13 books and that’s make the cute MPH
receptionist recognized me. Doing post grad on the weekend basis make my weekdays “void ” and again to combat the emptiness, I laid my
ass at Starbucks again while waiting my Nescafe Dolce Gusto Coffee Machine dealer
called me up. The best coffee table book by the chief minister of Selangor, Tan
Sri Khalid entitled Fearless: from Kampong
Boy to CEO mesmerized me how he puts on words and how sempoi he is which I never imagined.
Throw
away your political mindset and your enthusiasm about the polical party you
intent to vote , this hand book is far from the politic , homosex, rejimen askar melayu diraja or whatever hot
stuff from the mass media now. It’s
purely motivational like Mark Twain, Dale Carnegie or maybe okaylah.. Azizi Ali…
A
little bit about Tan Sri Khalid, he is the current MB Selangor and what most
important thing about him is he was the man who runs The Dawn Raid engineered by Dr. M.There
are five chapters with only 74 pages and with the big gulp of Grande it just 40
minutes for you to finish it if no sexy ladies trespass your bench.
He
said he’s from Jeram Batu , Selangor and start entrepreneurship at the age of
12. Handling a few of the workers who
had take out the calculate how much to sell the salai kelapa to Chinese buyers. One unfortunate day he burnt the
smokehouse had to repay back the workers and from that day he learnt a lesson
in finance term which is liability. So he lost the scholarship for the workers
as a result he did Math tuition to contribute the family income.
Tan
Sri Khalid is a person with a lot of advice and you can see this book there are
a lot of citation in inverted commas, means he strengthening on what he says.
On page 14 there are diagrams like theoretical frameworks on how he dealt with
his thought feelings and behaviors and
there are some other diagrams on events,
emotion and thought s about the vets and
he also put a ledger of” A tool may help
you reprogrammed your thinking”, the most awkward motivational book I ever
read..but it works .. It may as good as Prof Muhaya books Reset Minda or something like that. Hahaha…
His
best quotes is “ the role of government
is that of a custodian of natural resources , taxes , royalties and other
incomes and proceed from the disposal of public asset should be kept in a
special fund as in Islamic bait al maal concept. The custodian acts in trust
for and in the interest of , the entire
nation “. Thanks a lot Tan Sri.. I
never pay my water bills yet since I moved to the state you lead.
Tan
Sri Khalid entered the corporate world and held the position of CEO from 1979
to 1994 in the government controlled fund , PNB. In 1981 he became famous for
leading the dawn raid on the London
Stock Exchange which resulted in PNB gaining
1 51% share in British plantation
concern Guthrie in less than two
hours.
Knowing
his position as PKR MB Selangor, strangely Tan Sri Khalid often praising Dr.
Mahathir and a lot of credit goes to the stateman. He said “ we had a meeting with Dr. Mahathir who wanted to know what w eplanned to do with the project. We
spent hours on research and economic analysis. Dr Mahathir is a sharp man.”
The
best part of this book is the ASB story when he has to convince people to
invest in this unit trust .The initial process of ASB was imbroglio but they manage to combat the obstacles. To link the post offices with the computer generated
dealing with the so called best man in ICT is sugar and spice when he was in PNB. He said a deduction pay in Teluk Intan is called Potong Meja . He then said “didn’t have to cut their tables when they mean pay deduction and they thought
I was crazy”.
Tan Sri Khalid is really noble man. He knew precisely about the organisation , the institutional, financial mode and their character. On his view about the government servant he said " civil servants are community of their own,firing civil servant is firing a community and no one can handle politicians better than civil servant"

Reading
this book with the day I was mislead about Dolce Gusto machine by the dealer.
He confused me and I picked the manual one yet I regret.
(For those FB politicians who don’t
know what is The Dawn Raid is all about, then stop involve in politics because
you guys just using your emotional in expressing your political belief…just read a
lot.. By writing no to say I am PKR man..I just l adore a good leader no matter left or right. .)
