BUAL ISU

Tulisan ini tidak berpihak kepada mana-mana.  Ianya sekadar pemerhatian saya dari jauh.

 

Saya kira sekalung pujian wajar kita, masyarakat blind berikan kepada Dato' President MAB,(Dato' Abdullah Baginda).

 

Kenapa saya kata sedemikian?:

*beliau dengan rela hati turut aktif dalam mailing list kelolaan club cyber MAB.

 

*beliau bermurah hati meluangkan masa  menjawab beberapa persoalan yang ditimbulkan lister dalam mailing list tersebut.

 

*dari cara beliau menjawab persoalan dalam program dialog lalu,  tternyata beliau seorang yang penyabar, lembut tapi tegas serta benar-benar berminat dengan apa yang sedang beliau ceburi kini.

 

Saya kira ketidak puasanhati terjadi mungkin disebabkan tiada komunikasi antara pihak council MAB dan masyarakat blind.  Ia juga disebabkan mungkin ketidaktelusan tindak tanduk seorang dua ahli council.

 

Apa pun saya secara peribadi, berbangga punya seorang president yang boleh diajak berbincang, melalui cyber mau pun pertemuan secara nyata.   Beliau juga masih boleh menjaga pena untuk tidak menyinggung mana-mana pihak.

 

Di bawah saya lampirkan sebahagian tulisan beliau yang menunjukkan kebertanggungjawaban  beliau  sebagai ketua organisasi.  Tulisan di bawah saya petik dari mailing list club cyber MAB.

 

 

"I would like to thank you all for expressing your concern over the
affairs of MAB. I would have responded earlier but I had to follow
doctor's orders that I take complete rest at the hospital and at home.
Now that I am reasonably well again, I feel obliged to write in order
to enlighten you over your various concerns.

 

To many of you, I am only a name or a person who was elected President
of MAB in 2010. But I am more than just that. For the last 60 years I
have been involved in dealing with the welfare of people, including
the disabled. Some of the old-timers among the BVI might recall our
encounters in different parts of the country. However, I became more
involved with work for the BVI since 1987.

 

Someone had mentioned Major Bridges. Well, he is not just a name to me
because I knew him personally as I first met him at the Social Welfare
Headquarters in Batu Road KL in 1953. I know the full history of MAB.

 

I heard a lot of complaints during the meeting on 29/8, and where
remedial actions were required, they were attended to as soon as
feasible. I took the trouble to explain several issues that were
brought up by the BVI present. Unfortunately there were some errors in
the presentation of facts from the Council, and for this I apologise
on behalf of the Council. I am aware that this mishap had further
aggravated the unhappiness among you.

 

MAB, as a legally registered organisation, is governed by its
constitution and for operational purposes, rules and regulations are
put in place in order to ensure the proper conduct of the
organisation, including financial management. Please be assured that
everything is done by the book. Just the same, because there is now an
accusation of cronyism, we are looking into this matter seriously, and
should it turn out to be true, we shall take appropriate action.

 

I do not wish to go into detail in dealing with your complaints
because I have answered most of them at the meeting. I would rather
deal with principle issues. I would like to convey a message in the
following saying, "What seems need not be". I give you the example of
the old place at 193. Earlier this year you saw a dilapidated and
abandoned set of buildings rotting away and becoming an eyesore, and
now it has become a car park. You know very well that that piece of
land is not meant for a car park. So, why did the MAB Council decide
to do that? Has the Council as a body gone mad? Don't you want to
know? OK let me tell you. That car park is only for a short period
while we are preparing the blue-print for a multi-storey building that
will house training and other facilities for the BVI !!!

 

Please give some credit to the MAB Council, for surely they are not
there to do as they please. I, for one, have established a reputation
of being a 'no-nonsense' creature and so far I have not blemished
myself in any way, nor do I intend to do so now !

 

I know that some of you may not agree with what I am saying and even
find more reasons to hit at me. You are at liberty to do so. But I
sincerely hope that the statement above will make you ponder and
approach whatever issues in future with a cool head. If you are not
sure, please ask. I would appeal to you to address whatever you are unhappy about directly to me in a civilised manner.

 

Naturally I cannot attend to everyone, and to get around it I always
make it a practice to meet the BVI as often as practical, and please
make time to be there so that I can meet you face to face. I find
great satisfaction in face-to-face interactions rather than writing in
cyberspace.

Yours sincerely,

Abdullah

 

Sama-samalah kita berdoa dan memberi sokongan agar apa yang dituliskan di atas,  akan menjadi kenyataan.

 

Semoga Dato' President sukses membawa perubahan dalam pentadbiran MAB dan secara tak langsung akan membawa impak positif kepada masyarakat blind Malaysia.
