In less than 3 short months, HICT has seen a high rate of attrition because so many non-academic staff has thrown in the towel. Hardest hit are the Marketing and Registry departments – but we were fortunate because some of these employees were really ineffectual, if not inept. I am not going to speculate why people leave an organization such as HICT, but I look at this as something positive because organizations do need a regular infusion of new blood from time to time. To me, HICT is a very sick organization, and the sooner we do a major shake-out the better. On the other hand, thankfully, the academic staff is steadfast and intact. Still, what I am witnessing is an interesting phenomenon nonetheless. And a challenging HR issue anyway.
The organizers of the Blended Learning Conference have informed us that our paper which I had presented recently at the University of Hertfordshire, has now been accepted for publication, with the caveat that we undertake some revisions. We are working on this immediately, so that we can meet the deadline – which is tomorrow evening (Malaysian time).
If UMNO hopes for the Manek Urai vote to be a turning point – then they are sadly mistaken. In the Manek Urai by-election, PAS yesterday won the state seat by a 65-vote margin. This slender win for PAS should give some much-needed respite to the Pakatan Rakyat alliance wracked by in-fighting. Speaking as a non-member of any of the PR parties, I suppose this political partnership must go through a baptism of fire and the political newbies will have to learn the hard way to work together on a single, common platform, even when their respective parties are governed by different ideologies.

I alwez believe that before we throw judgment on others performance, we need to look into ourselves and those working with us. People who choose to keep quiet and not bring up issues are not those who are supposed to be subjected to disapproval by people who try to outshine others by prowling on their weaknesses and wrongdoings.
Your point is valid but I do not happen to subscribe to it. Still you have the right to convey this point of view - I grant you that. I am only giving my perspective, and it is my own - based on what I see and what I know, and I stand by what I have written.
