Pembuat kereta kebangsaan Proton mengumumkan penarikan balik model GEN.2 dan Satria Neo yang dikeluarkan antara tahun 2008 dan 2008. Penarikan balik ini berpunca daripada kegagalan pada clock spring yang mungkin boleh mengakibatkan kemalangan.

Clock spring ini menyambungkan suis, airbag kepada radio, hon dan cruise control. Penarikan balik ini merupakan sebahagian daripada program Global Quality Assurance (GQA).

Penarikan balik ini melibatkan 15,911 buah kereta daripada jumlah 660,000 buah kereta yang telah dihasilkan selama tempoh empat tahun tersebut.

Ujian rutin yang dilakukan oleh Proton telah mengenal pasti masalah yang berlaku pada clock spring, termasuk suara geseran dalam roda, pengaktifan hon atau lampu tanpa amaran, kerosakan kawalan suis radio, dan dalam beberapa kes yang agak melampau, pembukaan beg udara di bahagian tepi pemandu.

Pemilik model yang terlibat dengan penarikan balik itu boleh menghubungi setiap pusat servis yang disahkan oleh Proton untuk melakukan pemeriksaan percuma. Semua kos tenaga kerja dan bahagian-bahagian yang berkaitan dengan penggantian clock spring akan ditanggung oleh Proton.

Pemilik model dinasihatkan supaya berhati-hati dengan kereta mereka. Sekiranya terdapat sebarang masalah, hubungi pusat servis Proton dengan segera atau laporkan segera kepada Pusat Khidmat Aduan Pengguna Nasional di talian 03-7877 9000.

THE great challenge of change in the corporate world is to get leaders themselves to change. I have heard leaders lament over the difficulties of getting their organisations to change. These leaders often put the blame on their staff, but as we the truth of the matter is that the most resistance to change arises from the leaders themselves.

In effecting organisation transformation through culture change, it is important to change the mindsets of the leaders first, before implementing the changes organisation-wide. To do, this, we have to first understand the ills of leadership.

Jika kita menonton siri cerita kepolisan di America Syarikat, kita dapat melihat kebanyakan kereta polis di negara tersebut dilengkapi dengan kamera video yang merakamkan saat-saat mereka melakukan siasatan atau penangkapan. Oleh itu kita dapat melihat keadaan dan perkara sebenar yang berlaku semasa kejadian tersebut.

Menyorot kembali kisah tragis adik Aminul Rasyid Amzah, 15 tahun yang ditembak mati oleh pihak polis tidak berapa lama dahulu, fakta dan keadaan sebenar kejadian masih samara. Ini menyebabkan ramai yang berpendapat bahawa tindakan polis tersebut adalah melampau. Begitu juga dengan aduan-aduan terhadap polis yang semakin menggunung banyaknya sehinggakan masyarakat kurang mempercayai pasukan polis lagi. Oleh itu tindakan meletakkan kamera video di dalam kereta peronda polis boleh dijadikan satu titik perubahan kepada persepsi rakyat terhadap badan penguatkuasa tersebut.

Kamera video yang dipasangkan di Bahagian dashboard kereta peronda itu boleh memantau pergerakan polis dan aktiviti yang dilakukan oleh pegawai tersebut. Oleh itu, sebarang keadaan dan aktiviti yang berlaku boleh dijadikan bahan bukti sekiranya terdapat penyalahgunaan kuasa oleh polis mahupun tuduhan palsu yang dilemparkan terhadap mereka.

Di dalam akhbar atas talian New Jersey Real-Time News, Pengarah Polis Newark menyatakan pemasangan kamera video di dalam kereta polis adalah untuk menjaga keselamatan dan kebaikan polis sendiri dan beliau juga menyebut “kita akan berkelakuan baik sekiranya kita diperhatikan”. (www.nj.com, 18 April 2010)

Dengan pemasangan kamera video tersebut, masyarakat boleh menilai sendiri sama ada tindakan yang dilakukan pihak berkuasa wajar atau tidak.

Kerajaan seharusnya mempertimbangkan hal ini demi keselamatan rakyat dan keyakinan mereka terhadap pasukan keselamatan. Sekiranya masyarakat telah hilang kepercayaan kepada pihak penguatkuasaan, maka kehormanian Malaysia yang sedang kita kecapi pada masa ini mungkin tidak akan wujud lama.
