PELANTAQ HUJAH

Today's morning I got the chance to attend one meeting between Deputy Minister of International Trade and Industry, Dato' Mukhriz Tun Mahathir and a group of Kedah's Entrepreneur at Kedah Industrial Skills And Management Development Centre (KISMEC).

This is the first ever meeting with him since his appointment. This meeting is jointly organized by Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (Kedah/Perlis) (FMM) and KISMEC. And the attendance of related participants was very good. Hence the speakers also delivered their speech very clear and relevant to the topic.

The Deputy Minister also delivered his speech very well since he is also has many experiences in entrepreneurship at a various field.

At the end of the meeting, the participants were invited to share their opinion and suggestion to the ministry and panels. But from what I can observed most of them cannot speak well in English and more or less its affect the perception to their professionalism especially Malays.

And I can hear very clear one of the guy beside me mumbling about the good of PPSMI. To ease him(me?) I just telling him that most of technical representative give their emphasize not to grammar but to more on the issue that they are talking about.

He he, but what a worst is when they put a wrong word into their sentence, i.e. "As a manufacturing......" where the right word is suppose to be 'manufacturer' instead of manufacturing. And when one of the participant talking about "small small one, big big one", my head spontaneously thinking off what Parpu Kari has written out in his blog. And perharps Tan Sri Muhyiddin could share his experiences on this matter.

**And I also still learning to sharpen out my English continuously.
