Enhance knowledge and prevent finger-pointing - Dr. Ismail

To prosper in a world of abrupt changes and discontinuities, of newly emerging forces and threats, of unforeseen influences from abroad, new strategies need to be envisioned and knowledge need to be updated from time to time in order to survive in this competitive environment.

Health Ministry director-general, Tan Sri Dr Ismail Merican urged us to continue enhancing our knowledge to keep up with current trend and to prevent finger-pointing when officiating at a health science symposium few days ago.

The current ecomomic situation has put quite a number of people on their hot seats. As a developing nation, more endeavours need to be injected into Malaysia in order to achieve Vision 2020. Nevertheless, people tend to point their finger to the government most of the time. Is that true that government should take full charge for the current situation?

We, as the citizens, have always forgotten our role in the economy. As the main source of manpower, we seriously have to enhance our knowledge and keep ourselves up-to-date with the current trends in this ever-changing environment.

By getting all these, education is essentially important to everyone of us. Perhaps, it explains why education sector is always recession proof and why government introduced the second national economic stimulus package in March to encourage undergraduates and /or working adults to take up Master / PhD.

Take some time to meditate as how you should work for your own future!
