Tidak Apa Attitude Companies Deserve To Fail

Till today, there are still too many companies who just do not care about anything and I mean anything. We call this the “tidak apa attitude” in Malaysia. To be more precise it is not the company, as a company is as good as the people in there, so therefore it is the people in these organizations that just do not care about anything.

These people are the clerical, the officers, the management, the Board of Directors, the CEO and even the Chairman. There all form the company, they are the company. Yet they do not care. They are there to just ... turn up to work, do the minimal and get a salary they do not deserve.

These companies are literally “sucking” the life away from the Malaysian economy. Things do not happen there. They have slogans and branding campaigns that don’t work and are extremely poor in both planning and execution. They survive by getting highly paid external consultants to do the work and outsourcing everything else. The funny thing is that they get mega projects because of connections. When things fail, everyone is out for a meeting or a holiday.

Enough is enough, I want these companies to fail so that as a nation as a people, we can start excelling. We need to leave those irresponsible and uncooperative legacies behind. If these organizations need to be shaken to the core so be it. As in Nature, only the most adaptable survive and those “tidak apa attitude” companies deserve to fail.

On a separate note, I was in KWSP in PJ recently and I must give a big thank you to the team of people there. They were fast and efficient in processing my documents. I waited for less than 5 minutes to be served both times. Additionally the LHDN in Kelana Jaya was extremely efficient as well. Kudos to these two government agencies.

For those private companies with the “tidak apa attitude”, you deserve to fail.

The management team in an organization are always the leaders to lead the company. If they keep on with "tidak apa attitude", how they want their people doing good for the company. As result, they must fail. And, they can not blame anyone.

If this is the attitude that they keep moving forward, surely they will be defeated.

Take for granted or Tidak apa attitude will cause:
1. Company failure - the company can't move. the people in the company hold the movement/development of the copany.

2. Unable to complete the task within the dateline. Slower the process - because everything is tak apa, so the process will be delayed. Then the consequences : project is not done properly and people tend to blame each other.
