Regarding BCP2011

What is BCP2011? BCP 2011 is Board of Computing Professional Bill 2011. 

COMMON VOICE OF ICT PROFESSIONALS ON BCP2011 AS OF 13 DEC 2011

“We the Malaysian ICT professionals have been alarmed by the sudden announcement of the Board of Computing Professionals Draft Bill 2011 (hereby referred to as the BCP2011) which caught most of us off-guard resulting in mixed reactions and unnecessary arguments. As responsible Malaysian citizens, we trust and respect the Government’s intent to enhance the  ICT profession. In this spirit, we therefore do not object the Government’s intent to form the Board of Computing Professionals but in retrospect, we have NOT found any information and substantiation that suggests or concludes that the formation of the Board of Computing Professionals is the right and only answer to amicably resolve all matters that the Government perceive to be issues relating to the ICT profession, if such issues indeed do exist in the first place. This document is therefore presented to MOSTI as our joint voice and concerns in an attempt to seek answers and would in turn appreciate point by point answers to our questions and agreement to our requests.”

This issues are still on documentation progress and not finalize yet. In my mind it's something fishy about this BCP 2011. Sort of government monopoly and want to take control everything even they know there can't control it. I like this comment below. It's is something interesting to think about.


Comment 2a.    Many ICT Professionals have globally recognized certifications already without the BCP2011. This includes PMI, CISA, CCNA, MCP, CEH, CWNA  etc. It is often the case that some employers including the Government that do not know the value of such certifications and have been traditionally looking at diplomas and degrees when it comes to employment eligibility, salary, promotions and transfers. Therefore people with such competency certifications but sometimes with no diploma or degree qualifications that lose out or worst still do not qualify to be employed though their skills are much needed. So it is not a problem with the profession but with the employers, including the Government  who needs the education and adjustment and not the profession.


It's is true that common gov and employer judge our profession by degree and scroll, not by what we can do to that job. Actually they doesn't know what our jobs are and what we suppose to work actually....
