That's the thing with Malaysian companies unfortunately - I know of a big local company - chock full of bright, committed engineers with amazing plans and ideas - but the old birds who make up the management felt threatened and block every attempt of the engineers to further enhance the services of this company. There is this mentality (Asian?) that if you're older the young Turks must never be seen as better than you. Consequently many of the young engineers left - to the old birds it matters not that the company is in tatters - as long as things are in place as *they* see it (i.e. ego comes first).

 

Too much company politics here in Malaysia, don't y'all think?

Company politics is everywhere around the globe. Controlling shareholders decide who should run the companies. If the appointed guys are professional in their management and are not under pressure from the controlling shareholders to deviate from this, the companies do well. Otherwise, the companies and the minority shareholders will bear the losses arising from the "siphoning" of corporate assets. Where these companies are government-owned the taxpayers are the losers.
