usman,
like you said, peculiar to M'sia, the problem is not with MAS it's with the whole system. the the main cause of the prob is mindset/paradigm/attitude. how do we change that? for me, i think it begins with myself. frustrating no doubt but at least it's a start.
welcome to the reality of Dr. becoming PM, Dentist-MB, Lawyer-Singer, Accountant-Chef, etc
some of them didn't do that badly at all...
