TM: Another round of re-org

It seems the basement carpark at Menara TM, reserved for the GMs' big cars, can never get emptied to accommodate its customers who find parking a nuisance there.

The fact is, effective October 1, TM had yet another round of re-org and more General Managers are being appointed to fill up thebasement carpark. More GMs' positions are yet unfilled. See attached document here.

The three head honchos, namely TM Retail COO Adnan Rofiee, TM Wholesale COO Baharum Salleh and TM Net CEOMichael Lai, are now grouped under TM Malaysia Business CEO, Zamzamzairani Mohd Isa.

I was told that, with the re-org, the TM Net GM for Strategy and Corporate Planning Dr Fadhlullah Suhaimi Abdul Malek has been relocated into TM headquarters, reporting to Group CFO, Bazlan Osman, in Group Finance Division.

Is this the foreshadow that TM Net will ultimately be selling Internet servbices and content only, and the access and infrastructural roll-out will be assumed by TM Wholesale? Anyway, this has been in the grapevine for quite some time and no longer a trade secret.

The original team who remain at TM Net are Ghazali Omar (GM, Sales), Zainab Hashim (GM, Marketing), Ithnin Othman (GM/CTO, Technical Development) and Badrul Hisham Ahmad (GM, Technical Operations).

New recruits at TM Net are Khaidir Elias (Assistahnt GM, Corporate Strategy and Services), Theresa Wong Lai Har (Assistant GM, Finance and Account), Rohaya Samad (Assistant GM, Human Capital & Support Services) and Emily Wee (GM, Content and Digital Home).

Meanwhile, DAWO (Dato' Abdul Wahid Omar) still has an opening for Senior VP for Group Regulatory -- Legal & Compliance.

and the next question what is going to happen to the streamyx user group...

So there're 2 entities now for Streamyx. 1 is the policy maker and the other one the implementor. So if there's a problem, where does one go to complain?

Have you heard that TM is going to take back all the Internet access products including Streamyx and TMdirect leased line? TMnet is just going to focus on content and other services. Heard that this will be effective 01012007. They will also revamp the TMnet management.

Its interesting that the Telecommunication mammoth of Malaysia is in re-org at dire moment when they are lagging behind their promised KPIs.

Since the announcement of the re-org, the management team of the affected subsidiaries have abandoned their duties to lobby for a post in the new structure. Its a pure exhibit of the Darwin's Survival of the fittest on shall I call it, political manipulation to the point of sacrificing the morale and business objectives - a cannibalistic frenzy to stay in the game and favour of DAWO.

Last I heard, Michael Lai, the CEO of TM Net also tendered his resignation upon discovering that all his management team had abandoned him.

INTERNET does not operate in a legal vacuum.
