.
Seorang kawan meluahkan pandangan bernasnya tentang perkara ini:
Apa perlunya kita panik dan melatah hingga pelajar-pelajar diarah berarak ke SUK.
Setahu saya INTEC- UiTM pun dah memang ada kuota utk bukan melayu. (tanya UMNO)
Sudah lama dibuka..tapi ramai orang melayu tak tau kot.
Harap DS Prof. Ibrahim lebih tenang,kekal waras dan tidak terikut-ikut dgn rentak orang politik. Tunjukkan sikap matang dan profesional sesuai dgn jawatan yg disandang.
Kenyataan yg tidak wajar hanya akan memalukan pelajar dan juga lulusan UITM seperti saya.
.
Ku mendapat khabar:
Vice Chancellor UiTM Dato’ Seri Prof Dr Ibrahim Abu Shah orang UMNO sejati. Education In Malaysia ada spotlight on UiTm VC (klik di sini.)
.
Anonymous pula memberitahu kita bahawa:
Even now there are already foreign students there… they are not even bumi or malaysian… so what is 10% if we open to malaysian.. anyway we are malaysians who should be given the opportunities…
.
Ku cadangkan Malaysiakini hantar pemberitanya interbiu orang UMNO yang jadi Menteri Pelajaran dulu yang tau cerita 10% ini. Apa pasal tiada demostrasi sebesar ini pada masa yang lalu? Mengapa cadangan lama yang Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim ulangi sekarang dibantah oleh pelajar-pelajar muda sehingga beribu-ribu yang tidak masuk ke kelas belajar? VCnya pulak yang sepatutnya berAUKU sekarang kelihatan semacam penyokong kuat protes ini.

Pertamanya, saya merupakan seorang lepasan sekolah kerajaan dan graduan sebuah kolej swasta terkemuka di Malaysia.
Saya amat bersetuju dengan cadangan Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim. Kuota 10% perlu dibuka kepada pelajar bukan bumiputera, bukan sahaja di UiTM, tapi semua universiti di Malaysia.
Saya hairan mengapa VC UiTM beria-ia untuk terus tidak bersetuju dengan kuota tersebut, kerana sebab hak orang Melayu akan hilang, dan UiTM diambil alih oleh orang bukan Melayu. VC UiTM tu sebenarnya orang UMNO, dia saja nak bangkitkan hal ini kerana mahu jaga poket dan kedudukan dia saja, dan mahu menyalahkan Pakatan Rakyat.
Saya mungkin kesian dengan pelajar yang telah diperalatkan. Apabila mereka habis belajar dan mencari pekerjaan, terutamanya Multinational company, mereka tidak teragak-agak menolak permohonan jawatan kerana mereka dicop ‘racist’, dan terus tidak diterima oleh mana-mana syarikat.
Jika UMNO sudah bermain kad berbaur perkauman, golongan bukan bumiputera tidak teragak-agak menjauhkan diri mereka untuk terus mengundi BN/UMNO dan karti komponen, terutamanya di Permatang Pauh. MCA dan MIC pula macam mana? Senyap saja. Inikah parti yang mahu membela nasib Cina dan India?
Minta maaf, BN/UMNO. Anda sudah menimbukan kemarahan kaum Cina, India dan golongan minoriti di Malaysia. Anda sudah gali kubur anda sendiri. Kami bukan lagi berfikiran 10 tahun yang lalu. Kami tidak lagi bodoh. Kami sudah berfikiran matang. Anda cuma boleh memperbodohkan orang kampung dengan memberi kain pelikat, beras, wang, janji-janji palsu dan lain2 ketika pilihanraya.
Bulan puasa dah nak dekat. Kalau BN/UMNO masih tak serik-serik menipu rakyat dan main kad berbaur perkauman, saya berharap hidup dan hati anda tidak tenteram. Bertaubatlah, jangan jadi seperti rakan anda Allahyarham Zakaria Mat Deros.

Salaam,
Saya ingin memuji pelajar-pelajar Melayu yang dapat saya perhatikan, kebanyakan terima cadangan-cadangan atas issue ini dengan hati dan minda terbuka.
Hanya segelintir kecil sahaja yang reaksi mereka dikawal emosi.
Jadi, bagi saya, ini merupakan petanda yang baik.

We the Rakyat, should evaluate and determine the kind of Leaders we want for our beloved country, Malaysia
Here are the Top 10 Qualities of a Good Leader
By David Hakala
——————————————————————————–
Leadership can be defined as one’s ability to get others to willingly follow. Every organization needs leaders at every level. Leaders can be found and nurtured if you look for the following character traits:
A leader with vision has a clear, vivid picture of where to go, as well as a firm grasp on what success looks like and how to achieve it. But it’s not enough to have a vision; leaders must also share it and act upon it. Jack Welch, former chairman and CEO of General Electric Co., said, “Good leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision and relentlessly drive it to completion.”
A leader must be able to communicate his or her vision in terms that cause followers to buy into it. He or she must communicate clearly and passionately, as passion is contagious.
A good leader must have the discipline to work toward his or her vision single-mindedly, as well as to direct his or her actions and those of the team toward the goal. Action is the mark of a leader. A leader does not suffer “analysis paralysis” but is always doing something in pursuit of the vision, inspiring others to do the same.
Integrity is the integration of outward actions and inner values. A person of integrity is the same on the outside and on the inside. Such an individual can be trusted because he or she never veers from inner values, even when it might be expeditious to do so. A leader must have the trust of followers and therefore must display integrity.
Honest dealings, predictable reactions, well-controlled emotions, and an absence of tantrums and harsh outbursts are all signs of integrity. A leader who is centered in integrity will be more approachable by followers.
Dedication means spending whatever time or energy is necessary to accomplish the task at hand. A leader inspires dedication by example, doing whatever it takes to complete the next step toward the vision. By setting an excellent example, leaders can show followers that there are no nine-to-five jobs on the team, only opportunities to achieve something great.
Magnanimity means giving credit where it is due. A magnanimous leader ensures that credit for successes is spread as widely as possible throughout the organization. Conversely, a good leader takes personal responsibility for failures. This sort of reverse magnanimity helps other people feel good about themselves and draws the team closer together. To spread the fame and take the blame is a hallmark of effective leadership.
Leaders with humility recognize that they are no better or worse than other members of the team. A humble leader is not self-effacing but rather tries to elevate everyone. Leaders with humility also understand that their status does not make them a god. Mahatma Gandhi is a role model for Indian leaders, and he pursued a “follower-centric” leadership role.
Openness means being able to listen to new ideas, even if they do not conform to the usual way of thinking. Good leaders are able to suspend judgment while listening to others’ ideas, as well as accept new ways of doing things that someone else thought of. Openness builds mutual respect and trust between leaders and followers, and it also keeps the team well supplied with new ideas that can further its vision.
Creativity is the ability to think differently, to get outside of the box that constrains solutions. Creativity gives leaders the ability to see things that others have not seen and thus lead followers in new directions. The most important question that a leader can ask is, “What if … ?” Possibly the worst thing a leader can say is, “I know this is a dumb question … ”
Fairness means dealing with others consistently and justly. A leader must check all the facts and hear everyone out before passing judgment. He or she must avoid leaping to conclusions based on incomplete evidence. When people feel they that are being treated fairly, they reward a leader with loyalty and dedication.
Assertiveness is not the same as aggressiveness. Rather, it is the ability to clearly state what one expects so that there will be no misunderstandings. A leader must be assertive to get the desired results. Along with assertiveness comes the responsibility to clearly understand what followers expect from their leader.
Many leaders have difficulty striking the right amount of assertiveness, according to a study in the February 2007 issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, published by the APA (American Psychological Association). It seems that being underassertive or overassertive may be the most common weakness among aspiring leaders.
A sense of humor is vital to relieve tension and boredom, as well as to defuse hostility. Effective leaders know how to use humor to energize followers. Humor is a form of power that provides some control over the work environment. And simply put, humor fosters good camaraderie.
Intrinsic traits such as intelligence, good looks, height and so on are not necessary to become a leader. Anyone can cultivate these leadership qualities.

ANWAR, ARE YOU A VISIONARY LEADER???
DSAI, Are you someone with a vision burning inside that seeks to manifest? Do you see yourself as a visionary?
Visionary leaders are the builders of a new dawn, working with imagination, insight, and boldness. They present a challenge that calls forth the best in people and brings them together around a shared sense of purpose. They work with the power of intentionality and alignment with a higher purpose. Their eyes are on the horizon, not just on the near at hand. They are social innovators and change agents, seeing the big picture and thinking strategically.
What is it that makes a visionary become a visionary leader? A visionary may dream wonderful visions of the future and articulate them with great inspiration. A visionary is good with words. But a visionary leader is good with actions as well as words, and so can bring his vision into being in the world, thus transforming it in some way. More than words are needed for a vision to take form in today’s world. It requires leadership and heartfelt commitment.
There is a profound interconnectedness between the leader and the whole, and true visionary leaders serve the good of the whole. They recognize that there is some truth on both sides of most polarized issues in our society today. They search for solutions that transcend the usual adversarial approaches and address the causal level of problems. They find a higher synthesis of the best of both sides of an issue and address the systemic root causes of problems to create real breakthroughs.
A visionary leader is effective in manifesting his or her vision because he creates specific, achievable goals, initiates action and enlists the participation of others.
What are the qualities and abilities of true visionary leaders? What is the mysterious inner process within leaders that enables them to work their magic and radiate the charisma that mobilizes others for a higher purpose?
Visionary leadership is based on a balanced expression of the spiritual, mental, emotional and physical dimensions. It requires core values, clear vision, empowering relationships, and innovative action. When one or more of these dimensions are missing, leadership cannot manifest a vision.
A COMMITMENT TO CORE SPIRITUAL VALUES
A commitment to values is an outstanding characteristic of all visionary leaders. They embody a sense of personal integrity, and radiate a sense of energy, vitality and will. Will is standing in a spiritual state of being. Will is a spiritual attribute, which allows a leader to stand for something.
More self-aware and reflective than others, visionary leaders follow an inner sense of direction, and lead from the inside out, as exemplified by Mahatma Gandhi. He said, “I must first be the change I want to see in my world.” He was a prime example of a commitment to values, as he freed India by appealing to the moral conscience of Britain and using non-violent action to reveal the immorality of the British Empire.
Rather than being corrupted by power, visionary leaders are elevated by power and exercise moral leadership. Mary Robinson, former President of Ireland and U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, embodies this type of moral leadership, as does Marion Wright Edelman, founder of the Children’s Defense Fund, who has a deep commitment to children’s welfare.
A CLEAR, INSPIRATIONAL VISION
Visionaries who are successful at manifesting their visions base their leadership on an inspirational, positive picture of the future, as well as a clear sense of direction as to how to get there. Vision is a field that brings energy into form. Effective leaders broadcast a coherent message by themselves embodying their vision, as author Margaret Wheatley notes. They keep communicating the vision to create a strong field which then brings their vision into physical reality. Nelson Mandela clearly held a positive vision of a racially harmonious South Africa during his 28 years in jail and helped bring it into reality peacefully, to the amazement of the world.
The best visionary leaders move energy to a higher level by offering a clear vision of what is possible. They inspire people to be better than they already are and help them identify with what Lincoln called “the angels of their better nature”. This was the power of Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech. The creative power of lighted, inspired words can sound a certain inner note that people recognize and respond to. This then creates dramatic social change. Like King, visionary leaders have the ability to sense the deeper spiritual needs of followers and link their current demands to these deeper, often unspoken, need for purpose and meaning.
Visionary leaders often have the ability to see higher spiritual forces at work behind the scenes of events, and they align with the vision of these redemptive forces. Both George Washington and Winston Churchill spoke about the help they received from a “guiding hand”. Churchill said, “…we have a guardian because we serve a great cause, and we shall have that guardian as long as we serve that cause faithfully”.
Sojourner Truth, a former slave, was guided by an inner spiritual experience to preach the emancipation of slaves and women’s rights all over the country during the Civil War. President Anwar Sadat of Egypt had a vision of Mohammed who told him to create peace in the Middle East. This vision is the hidden story behind the Camp David Peace Treaty between Arabs and Israelis.
Visionary leaders transmit energy to people, giving them a new sense of hope and confidence in achieving the vision. Television host Oprah Winfrey helps her guests believe in themselves and work to create a better world.
Visionary leaders often enunciate a vision based on principles that become guideposts for humanity. They intuitively draw on the ageless wisdom and present it in a new synthesis to meet the particular need of the times. In the Brundtland Report, Gro Brundtland, former Prime Minister of Norway, helped synthesize the principles of sustainable development that are needed to protect our environment for future generations.
RESPECTFUL, EMPOWERING RELATIONSHIPS
Good relationships are the heart of effective visionary leaders. They embody a deeply caring approach to people, seeing them as their greatest asset. Aaron Feuerstein, CEO of Malden Mills, kept all his employees on the payroll when a fire destroyed 75% of his factories. His employees were so grateful they helped him rebuild and within a year the company was more profitable than ever.
In contrast to the old style of leadership which tells people what to do, and pushes or dominates them, visionary leaders embody a receptive, as well as a dynamic energy. They know how to listen and learn from other points of view and have fine tuned their communications skills. Rita Bailey, Director of Southwest Airline’s University for People, says the secret of the airline’s amazing financial success is living by the golden rule: treating employees as family, with warmth and respect. Employees then treat customers the same way.
Visionary leaders promote a partnership approach and create a shared sense of vision and meaning with others. They exhibit a greater respect for others and carefully develop team spirit and team learning, Building this sense of shared vision and partnership has also been key to the effectiveness of feminist Gloria Steinem.
The most effective visionary leaders are responsive to the real needs of people and they develop participative strategies to include people in designing their own futures. This approach has been very successful for Robert Haas, the CEO of Levi Strauss. Rather than confront or avoid conflict, the new leaders have learned how to transform conflict into usable energy. They work to unite, rather than divide people.
INNOVATIVE, COURAGEOUS ACTION
Visionary leaders are especially noted for transforming old mental maps or paradigms, and creating strategies that are “outside the box” of conventional thought. They embody a balance of right brain (rational) and left brain (intuitive) functions. Their thinking is broad and systemic, seeing the big picture, the whole system, and “the pattern that connects.” They then create innovative strategies for actualizing their vision.
CNN founder Ted Turner transformed television news by boldly creating an around-the-clock international news network.
Visionary leaders anticipate change and are proactive, rather than reactive to events. Their focus is on opportunities, not on problems. They emphasize win/win, rather than adversarial win/lose approaches.
When we see a truly visionary leader accomplishing great things, he is drawing on the resources of their soul and its remarkable capabilities. Each of us can access our inner resources to become a more effective leader in our own field. First we must be willing to take initiative and stand for something we believe in passionately. We must be ready to take the heat. Many of us avoid the responsibility of leadership primarily because we are too sensitive to criticism. But when we know who we truly are and we live from an inner core of values, criticism can be filtered to take in only what is true and helpful to our growth.
Today, as we enter the Third Millennium, thousands of new visionary leaders are emerging in all fields of human endeavor around the world, leading a quiet revolution energized by power of the soul. By appreciating and supporting those who lead from their core spiritual values, we strengthen those leadership qualities in ourselves.
VISIONARY LEADERSHIP
