In the Malaysian banking world, the title "Vice President" is the ultimate corporate optical illusion. If you tell your auntie in the kampung you’re a VP, she thinks you’re basically the CEO’s right-hand man and should be sponsoring the next family feast. In reality, being a VP in a local bank just means you’ve survived long enough to stop being an assistant manager. Banks dish out these titles like complimentary mints at a hotel lobby. It’s the cheapest way to keep talent from jumping ship to a competitor. "We can’t give you a 30% raise, but how about we change your business card to say VP of Enterprise Risk Management?" Suddenly, the employee feels like a "big boss," and the clients think they’re talking to a heavy hitter. It’s all about "perceived value." But go to any bank’s town hall, and when the CEO asks all the VPs to stand up, it will look like a crowded LRT carriage during peak hour. If everyone is a VP, who is actually doing the work? Probably the "Assistant Vice Presidents" who are hoping to get their own shiny title next year.

I noticed one employee wearing noise-canceling headphones. Not earbuds. The big, cushioned over-ear kind that create a tiny personal universe. I asked if everything was alright. He said yes, he’s just trying to focus. I told him we value focus, but isolation can misread as resistance to collaboration. He said he’s literally sitting at his desk doing his job. I told him we track human presence, not just output. He asked how presence is measured. I said imperfectly, which is why it's so important. Then I logged “avoiding spontaneous culture building opportunities” in his engagement profile.

Pusat data (data centre) di negeri Johor diunjurkan akan memerlukan 145 JLH (Juta Liter Sehari) bagi bekalan air tahun 2028 berdasarkan permohonan Kebenaran Merancang (KM).
