KKM should have its own Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan, that's probably the best way forward for an organisation as big as this. At least they get to decide on perjawatan and stuff

Mmm partly agree. The idea that non-Malays view Malaysia as a "fresh start" sounds very America-brained. The most recent large-scale non-Malay immigrants have already been born here for several generations. This country isn't a fresh start for them, it's the only home they know

[OSMOSES😎 @Osmoses_1]

This “naturally gifted” narrative is one of the most misleading takes in football.

When someone reaches a level that seems impossible, people suddenly act as if talent alone explains everything. Cristiano Ronaldo did not win five Ballon d’Or awards and score over 950 goals just because he worked hard. If hard work alone was enough, football would be full of players with those numbers.

What separates the truly great is the combination of elite talent and an elite work ethic. Ronaldo is not proof that hard work beats talent. He is proof of what happens when extraordinary talent meets extraordinary dedication.

People need to stop using Lionel Messi as the example of someone who succeeded purely because of natural talent. Messi’s genius is obvious, but talent alone does not sustain excellence for two decades, win multiple Ballon d’Or awards, or keep a player at the very top of the game year after year. That level of consistency demands sacrifice, professionalism, and an obsession with improvement. We've seen talented players waste away and never attain this height because they lack the consistency and hard work to replicate such heights.

Sometimes the simplest explanation is the correct one. Messi is one of the most naturally gifted footballers ever, but he is also one of the hardest working. The idea that he simply relied on talent while others relied on effort is a lazy and inaccurate way of looking at greatness. The greatest players combine both at a level most people cannot comprehend.
