I remembered 2 days ago when I was boring working in the office, one of the brand team colleague "J"came over and shared me a story. He shared me his past experience with our former PM - Mahathir at MINDEF (Ministry of Defence) before he joined the current company.This is how the story goes.
He went to MINDEF with one of the BP to do a presentation. He wasn't the presenter, but to help to turn the power point slides and off the light when BP is presenting. He stood next to Mahathir, shoulder to shoulder. All the important ministers and Datuks attended this meeting, Rafidah Aziz , the former head of Wanita UMNO was there too.
It was really a long meeting ,but in the middle of the meeting, Mahathir suddenly looked around for somebody for help. He called J who was just next to him and whispered to him. J quickly ran out of the meeting room. Everyone in the room was curiously. Who is this guy ? Why is Mahathir talking to him ? While everyone was still wondering. J came back to the meeting room and nodded to Mahathir. Then through the mice, Mahathir said "Saya sokong!" to Rafizah.
J was actually nervous when he was called, but he stayed calm.
After the meeting, all the ministers and Datuks came to shake hand with J has they thought J hold an important position in the company where Mahathir will seek advice. J was proud to himself yet he is still acted humblely to all the ministers and Datuks who came to say hi. Everyone was puzzled but he still didn't tell them what Mahathir actually whispered to him.
Are you curious what M actually told J ? Me too, is he really that powerful ? Why he looks just another ordinary man in the office ?After begging J, he finally told me.
Mahathir actually said :" Young man, the air-con is too cold, can you please help to turn it down? " J ran out to the meeting room and asked the staff to turn the air-con down , then ran back to the room to report to him. Then only Mahathir able to made his decision to Rafidah. Haha, seems like only me know the secret. What an important role, if not decision cannot be made. Good job J, you have make my day!
