OH, NO, AZMIN!!!, NOT THE BACK DOOR AGAIN PLEASE!!!
Be like everyone else come by the front door please
We have two announcements on TV daily and the one given by the Minister Ismail Sabri and the other by the DG of Health Dr. Hashim Noor and that is more than enough a third only confuses matters especially when the third dwells in areas he is not qualified to.
STOP THE CONFUSION.
The minister's (whoever that may be) announcement should not in anyway contradict or add on, from a medical expert's perspective what the Director General of Heath says. Whatever medical directive is given must be from the Director General of Health who may be adviced by a panel of experts himself or coming from himself, because he becomes responsible for all that he he says. That is good Management Practice.
There is absolutely no problem with what the the DG of health is doing to date and the rakyat respects his decisions as they know and realise for a larger part that for him this is really a mission and that he carries out his responsibilities diligently and responsibly, kudos to him.
The Minister or Senior Minister for Security and Minister of Defence Ismail Sabri is not supposed to get into the medical sphere of things in the Covid 19 arena that area is out of his jurisdiction. Even the Minister of Health D. Adam Baba does not do it these days, he leaves it to his expert the Director General of Health and his panel. Now that is Good Management Practice.
Ismail Sabri's job is to announce the control measures and to ensure the control mechanisms are in place and enforcement is carried out efficiently and effectively without fear or favour. Control mechanism's for no-medical issues Dr. Noor Hisham should be the deciding body for that he announces the numbers, he studies the trends, he recommends the level of MCO, the implementation of that MCO and its level the control and enforcement activities that is, is announced by Ismail Sabri. The announcement pf the level of MCO must be the prerogative of the DG of Health done after consultation with his team and the relevant ministries.
Looking at what is happening Ismail Sabri seems to be the man who who puts the "cart before the horse" announcing any thing that comes out of his mouth without the logistics to back it up really,without having reviewed it and put in place the machinery to implement and control it and hence he contradicts himself almost daily.
To be fair to Ismail Sabri in certain cases this is so because of the intervention of third parties who tend to attack from the back door.
Ismail Sabri should only come out when it is necessary and not necessarily daily, unless there are changes.
As can be seen from his daily announcements he seems to becoming back again an again to correct a wrong piece of information given the day before, this is a clear indication of lack of or poor planning without sufficient thought put in the process.
Changing terms is acceptable making control more stringent or relaxing some control measures is acceptable but only in consultation with the DG of Health.
The Government must understand that the DGs are the specialists and they have to take their advice and act on it because the power of acting on that advice is given to them by the people.
Now to come the most irritating part;
IS AZMIN TRYING TO COME IN THROUGH THE BACK DOOR AGAIN?
The announcement of controls is the purview of the Defence Minister, and now to add confusion to it all that enters Azmin Ali through the back door and what is his business here?
He can if he really want's to or, needs to or, has the urge to do anything from the back do it at the planning stage behind closed doors and with Ismail Sabri and that will be the input for the planning and review and acceptance of protocols from which Ismail Sabri makes his announcements.
Azmin seems to have taken a bigger role and it seems coming from the back as usual.
He has decided who should not go to work.
He has decided how many hours they should work. and for how many days in the week how he has come out with such figures no one knows and I really think no one cares to know because it looks like sheer rubbish and social media is full of people poking fun at what he has said. Looks like many of the rakyat like to poke Azmin.
He has decided how many management and Supervisory and Management staff should go to work and is now making public announcements. on all these matters.
A lot of his messages has caused confusion to the rakyat and Industry as well.
COVID AND COMMERCE?
We are aware that industry will take their problems to his ministry and he would have to listen to them and take appropriate decisions and it is important, very important from an economic point of view to listen to industry and act on them and then to balance it, also to sensitize industry to this unprecedented era where unprecedented solutions are necessary looking at the bigger picture and more importantly the primary interests of the rakyat as a whole rather then a narrow scope of profitable economic activity alone.
Those problems he brings to the table of Ismail Sabri, he becomes part of that planning team, he only comes when there are problems involving his ministry and Covid these issues are addressed, what is relevant and important for the greater good are taken into consideration, the measures put in place and announced by Ismail Sabri who is then responsible as the minister for the implementation and the control measures of the new Operating procedures and no one else.
So why is Azmin Ali doing his favourite thing again, coming from the back,can't he do things properly, like doing things the right way?
Earlier he proposed the barbershops remember?
