When I discover Project Management Institute(USA) and Association for Project Management(UK) in early 2000, I just wonder why we in Malaysia still do not have a body or an instituition for Project Management or for Project Managers? As far as I know and I could remember, we Malaysians have been doing thousands and billions ringgit of projects.

How could this happened to us? Are we not concerned about the standard of project management and the quality of our project managers?

Oh good! It really works. Now, I can start writing about project management in Malaysia. As a start , I will do alone and later on invite a few others to chip in.

To kick the ball rolling, I am posting a reply from ex-boss of a government department which was entrusted to manage and deliver billions ringgit projects a year:

Beris Man: Sir, I would like to do a study of the project management practice in your ex -organisation?
Ex- boss: Don't bother!
Beris Man: why?
Ex-boss: There was no such thing!
Beris Man: Then what the thousands of people doing there for years?
Ex-boss: Everything else except project management.

Hello,
This is my first posting at this website.This is a trial posting to test how it works. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.In project management,it is the results that count? Not all will agree with that statement. That is the beauty of project management or any management at all. ..
