Ah, Zafrul!

Blogging CEO. How many Malaysian chief executive officers blog? I don't know but, after discovering that Tengku Zafrul (he's the boss of Tune Money) blogs, I think I should start counting. He won't blog about politics, of course, but who says blogging is just about politics, uh?
Welcome on board, CEO blogger!

p.s. Zafrul still writes for the NST, though.

    This is a Poll in the Kementerian Penerangan's website bro. Check out the language!


    Fee school repealed, text book loan scheme to all students and a free uniform for co-curricular activities for families with a monthly income less then RM1,000. Do you think these will help to accommodate the increasing price of goods?
    Yes
    No

    Tengku zafrul is in the same league, tengku azmil, khairy etc, etc... despite of the many blusters and blunders, they are still given bigger and bigger responsbilities.

  10. Well bro,

    Let's see how he handles things in a 'shit hits the fan' scenario.

    From his postings, you can see that he's exposing more and more of his personal self which will be a double edged sword in the corporate world.

    As a blogger, he's welcome to join the blogosphere. Anything more will need time to ascertain.

    Meanwhile, bro. You're 60,xxx hits to your next million. Think you'll get it by Raya time?

    Hey you guys, chill la.

    The more people blog the better. Good that we have a CEO blogging. We need more CEOs to blog.

    What's important is this guy uses his real name. Got balls.

    I am a CEO of a trading company. I know what it takes to put your own name to your blog.
    To be Anon is easy lah.

    So let's encourage Zafrul, not otherwise.

    I applaud his effort. Everybody can blog for whatever reasons. And, he writes quite well. Anybody can learn something from somebody. I think we should encourage him too.

    The blog is a mixture of his personal
    and business interests. Nothing wrong with that. Welcome to the new age of communication!

    Dear Rocky,
    Am off topic, sorry.
    But i was around the blogs, and i found one about a missing child, aged 8. She has been missing since Aug 20 and there is now a blog dedicated to her search by the missing child's uncle. http://www.nurinjazlin.blogspot
    Maybe u and other blogger friends can help in the effort with a link?
    I am a parent, and i'm filled with dread everytime i read such news. Feel totally powerless.

    Huh, inilah mentaliti malaysians, cynical, suspicious dan cemburu terhadap orang lain. Orang tu nak memblog, lantak dia lah. Tentulah dia tahu baik buruknya. Bloggers boleh lari ke kalau orang hentam pendapat dia nanti? Come on lah give him some encouragement. If you have nothing nice to say about anything just keep those nasty opinion to yourself. Bersangka baiklah terhadap umat manusia tak kira lah apa bangsa dan agama, insyaallah Malaysia akan kekal aman.

    This CEO blogger cant write to save his life. The only decent thing he has done so far is to bodek the powers-that-be. Hey stupid, stop blogging if you have nothing decent to say. You have no shame. The blogging community doesnt want the likes of imposters like you. I suggest you switch your talents to Suara Umno.

    nstman: This CEO blogger cant write to save his life.

    On the contrary I thought he writes quite well.

    Not every Malaysian columnist who writes and/or blogs has the wits of Amir Muhammad or the verbal dexterity of Rehman Rashid or the sophistication of Marina Mahathir or the understated polish of Kadir Jasin, but this guy is more articulate than most. At least he writes better than KJ.

    Actually he's quite readable, except for those questionable 4th-floorish names he threw. They tar him, of course.

    Wonder why he mentioned them... was the dude crowing or just plain naive?

    Mekyam, my sources told me he cant write. He just hired some ghost writer to do the dirty job for him. This guy is shameless. the blogging community should disown him.

    nstman: I'm glad there's a blog police like yourself to weed out who is fit and who is not fit to blog on behalf of the 'blogging community'. Gasp! You should also establish a blog ISA to throw all this posers in.

    nstman,

    Thanks for the additional info.

    But you know, even if what your sources told you is true, it is still a stretch (going by his blog contents la) to accuse him of dirty intent.

    At worst, the CEO Blogger is only guilty of hiding an inability to write. Seen from another perspective, dude could even be appreciated for trying to spare Malaysian blog readers from painfully poor writing.

    Also, last I check, the blogsphere is very much freehold. No rules whatsoever against planting lies or letting your virtual land lies fallow (as mine is). :)

    You do realise that he appears as a judge on the show "The Firm" with a few other CEOs? He is a celebrity CEO with them. He mentions their names too on his blog. Are they all 4th Floorers or connected to them in some way? Get a grip. You are way too paranoid.

    I know another CEO who blogs, Ernie Chen - The CEO of ATCEN International... http://ernie-chen.blogspot.com.
    What I like about his blog is that he talks about his opinions and also his experiences. He's also straight forward. You can learn a lot from him.

    I think he's a great blogger, and a great writer. he's very very well-spoken and speaks perfect english. Does that mean he hired someone to cue him on what to say? I'm sure it's not very difficult to write whatever you speak or have in your mind. half of nst's writers can't write to save their lives (i know because i used to work for them and with them), so they need people like him. the writers i know there are mostly too laid back for their own good and never chases for stories or new angles unlike their biggest competitor. i only read nst for his, yasmin ahmad's and joan lau's columns. so the guy from nst shouldn't be too proud of himself.

    Pemberian 20 % saham MAS kepada Tony Fernandez oleh kerajaan UMNO bukan sahaja tidak munasabah tetapi menganiayai orang Melayu yang memilih UMNO sebagai suara mereka.

    Tony Fernandex adalah seorang Kristian berbangsa India dan jelas sekali kerajaaan yang kita ingatkan selama ini kerajaan Melayu telah dikuasai oleh Kristian2 seperti Idris Jala dan kuncu-kuncu mereka.

    Kenapakah UMNO memberi aset kapalterbang bernilai separuh bilion kepada Kristian Tony Fernandex dan membina lapangan terbang untuknya.

    Jelas sekali ada golongan Melayu yang mengaut keuntungan dengan pembinaan lapangan terbang yang berharga berbilion.

    Ini boleh dilihat dari tindakan Mampu Sulaiman Mahbob yang cuba merompak Sime Darby dengan projek lapangan terbang. Tony Fernandex sebagai kuncu memainkan peranan menekankan kononnya dia tidak ada tempat untuk letak kapalterbang.

    Kononnya akan pindah ke bangkok dan lain2. Tetapi ada golongan pengkhianat dalam Khazanah yang tugas mereka adalah mengaut keuntungan dengan penjualan aset negara yang dikuasai oleh UMNO ketika ini. Sebelum UMNO kalah dalam PRU 13 nampaknya Azman Mohtar dan budak2 lain kawan sekolahnya cuba merompak Maybank Investment Bank dengan membeli syarkat Mohzani Mahahtir dan Syaril Shamsuddin pada harga yang tidak munasabah dan tidak dijamin keuntungan.

    Pemberian saham 20% MAS kepads Kristian India adalah tidak sah di segi perlembagaan kerana kaum India hanya merupakan kurang dari 10 peratus penduduk Malaysia.. Aset MAS adalaah aset berbayar sebenar, sedangkan kapal terbang Tony Fernandex adalah hutang berpulu bilion yang belum berbayar.

    Untuk mencari siapa pengkhianat dan dalang penjualan aset negara kepada India ini, kita perlu adakan Tribunal Ekonomi Melayu untuk menangkap dan membicarakan mereka yang terlibat. Senarai budak2 Melayu yang perlu diberi perhatian selain Azman Mohtar adalah Tengku Zafrul lanun di Maybank Investment yang tiada bisnes tapi di ambil oleh PNB masuk kedalam Maybank. Semua ahli syarikat Binafikir yang mengaut keuntungan dalam rompakan Sime Darby melalui merger yang mengakibatkan Sime Darby kepunyaan orang Melayu rugi berbilion.

    MAS juga konon di pulihkan budak2 mentah Binafikir yang membawa kepada kerugian sekarang.
