ANOTHER HALATUJU AGAIN???

Next weekend from Friday until Sunday all of the Pegawai Utama in the Campus will be in Mukah ( a small town 2 hours from Bintulu) will get together brainstorming on the Halatuju for the campus. It seems that since the last BOD visit we were ask to rethink back and recustomize back our focus for the Campus.

It seems that the Board Of Director was not happy with our campus because we doesn’t show any significance in terms of product. It seems that they want us to be more focus in an area then just to duplicate what the main campus are doing. We are ask to be more open and to extend our expertise in many ways or more that differs us from the main campus.

For me the weekend would be nice, staying in a big and new hotel far from Bintulu. As for the brainstorming is concerned , I think I’m going to keep quiet and make the most of the paidweekend. heheeh. kan.

But if you ask me what I think, I think we in Malaysia are too consume with production. I know production is the main that breath the industry but have we ever thought that our Agriculture Industry does not really prosper because of the lack of Post Production activities. Our main concern is not because we cannot produce but one of our main concern is how much can we sell. A company of a farmer could produce 4000 chicken a day but can he sell that much for the local market.
We have to think more towards post production, to enhance our product. If we go to a local and international market ( Carrefour, Giant and Tesco) almost 80% of the product on shelf are imported product mostly from Thailand, Indonesia, America and the UK and the remaining would be our local product. That would be the belancan, asam jawa , fish, marine products, chicken, local crackers, local biscuits and poor quality local detergent. Our sauce, peas, ham, tin food, soaps and many more quality product comes from overseas even to our tea comes from china and france. Doesn’t that tell us something, its not that we don’t want to produce this quality product but its just that we doesn’t have the expertise to produce them.

We should have a course that more customize in post production in all Agriculture Product so that it become a catalyst to the industry, rather than just focusing too much on production. For me only when there are post production then the main production will improvise its quality because by then the post production will demand better quality. But its really up to the management to think about it, who am I , I am only an Agriculture Office yang tak lepas nak sambung belajar.
