FEELING OLD!

The Forum was organised yesterday but I did not had the opportunity to attend this session. However, my other half was a participant and we had a healthy discussion about it over dinner.
These was some interesting facts gathered:
1. Despite being the keynote speaker, Tun Dr Mahathir (former Prime Minister) was unattended during his arrival. Such thing would not had happen if he still hold office as our government is so strict about protocols. I guess being an elder statement doesn't mean anything in this country! He was even sarcastic enough to mention it during his session that he is no longer the government and any help needed should be addressed to the current admistrators!! How crude he put it!!!!!!!( well, nothing surpises me anymore. Used to be a country fund manager for top investment house! Will get calls and invitations from everyone, fom CEOs, Ministers etc but once you were out of office, no one even  noticed your existence!!!)I know how you feel TUN!!!!!!!!!!
2. Since he no longer holds the top post, top tier CEOs were conspicuously missing. This was even mentioned by Ernst and Young partner. Well, I had said enough!!!!
3. There was a huge gap between  a senior speaker and new budding CEO in terms of knowledge and experience. Both talking about the current state of the economy but the articulation about the situation was very apparent. Both gave different perspective of the economy and the divergence was extremely noticeable. One seems to wonder how such person could hold a senior post in a financial instituition!! Well, I don't have a father and mother who could pull such strings in the governemnt!!!

There was alot more being discussed but these were among the interesting ones!!
