The Sun: Why is 90 days maternity leave too much?
May 20, 2010
Boy, this one got some negative feedback. I wrote about how businesses tend to be prone to say "no" than to look for a solution to the problem, using the 90 days maternity leave called on by National Union of Bank Employees (NUBE).
The Sun: Corporations can give more
December 16, 2009
Malaysia has its fair share of business-savvy individuals. My question is: how many of them are lending their knowledge to the not-for-profit sector?
Defamation and PKFZ
May 29, 2009
At a press conference in Petaling Jaya late this afternoon, Wijaya Baru Holdings Sdn Bhd (WBHSB) Deputy CEO Faizal Abdullah said the audit report had ‘mischievously’ left out certain information and this omission was damaging to his company. WBHSB is the sole proprietor of Kuala Dimensi Sdn Bhd, the turnkey developer for PKFZ. PKFZ is… [Read more…]
The death of a Penan mother
May 27, 2009
The villagers do not understand why the government accuses the Penan, the Kenyah, the Iban, and other natives of opposing the government when the natives protest against logging companies. The natives only erected a simple blockade of sticks and branches across the logging road, they said, because the company refused to negotiate with them. The… [Read more…]

The Sun: Workers Want Trustworthiness
February 19, 2009
Being interested in the new management field of corporate social responsibility (CSR), I asked a friend recently why there appears to be more CSR consultancies opening in Singapore than Malaysia. He answered, without even thinking, "Because businesses here aren’t really interested." This might explain why only five participants were present at the "Integrity at Work" forum, organised by the MCA Integrity Watch Group in January.

CSR in an economic dip
January 29, 2009
Written for the CSR Digest: The theme for the CSR Digest in the first quarter of 2009 is whether or not businesses should maintain or be more vigorous with their CSR efforts in an economic dip. It wouldn’t be hard to imagine many businesses de-prioritizing their corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives on the basis that their focus needs to be on the bottom line due to the global economic crumble. This might be a wrong move…
The Sun: There’s hidden talent near you
January 21, 2009
THE year 2009 began on an encouraging note for me. I met a young man working with a large publishing house. He reminds me a little of me several years ago, but for a few things. He is visually impaired in one eye and is hearing impaired. However, his employer is blind to this, as the young worker is afforded the same privileges, salary, benefits, etc as his co-workers with the same qualifications and experience.

January 14, 2009
I'm in Singapore and the first day of the CSR Global Summit has taken place. I'm covering this for a number of publications, but most notably the CSR Digest. It has been interesting so far, and I'm plotting out a number of articles already on several aspects which I had not thought out before.
