Masami for Episode 4: Why Ridzuan deserved to go

Ridzuan may think highly of himself - and that's perfectly fine. That means he is brimming with confidence, although I would say that it is of the disillusioned kind. Anyway, Ridzuan has always been the weakest member in Team Equity despite his tall testimonies of his very own self and his last 'interview' claiming that his going away was a 'sacrifice' for the team is so blatantly over the top. In fact, that nearly had me blowing my top.

Aside from the fact that he speaks English like a person who has just picked up the language (oh, but wow, he does know some big words like 'prejudiced'), the most he has volunteered to do (besides becoming the speaker for the Easy Pha-max task and the tour guide for the Spritzer task) is to buy balloons. Because he knows a really cheap place to get them.

That to me, does not count as 'contributing'.

Anyway, Ridzuan rarely comes up with ideas of his own. When he opens his mouth, it is either to agree or disagree, and the worst is when he does this whole recapping of the ideas which have been thrown about in the boardroom, executed ceramah style - it is boring and a waste of time. In one interview, he mentioned that he does not contribute ideas because they will be shot down by his team mates. Like this, OK. Never try, never know and anyway, if his ideas are lame, obviously they will be shot down whether he likes it or not. There's nothing personal about that. Most times, Ridzuan has to be told to do things. He is a follower through and through, and not a very good follower at that though he has managed to surprise us once or twice.

For example, it was extremely hard to get Ridzuan on the phone. His phone would be either on silent or apparently the calls never came through on his end. Same with texts. On one brainstorming day (off-camera), Ridzuan was totally uncontactable for more than twelve hours. Finally when I got him after midnight, he said he was at this place in Gombak, and he was there all that while waiting for this guy to show up so we could have this badge thing to give away on task day. It was a nice idea... and we had to pay for the badges... and why would it friggin' take a person more than twelve hours just to get a discussion on badges over and done with??? I just lost my temper and told him that he shouldn't have wasted his time when the time could have been spent to better use.

Well... whatever. Ridzuan was and still is such a pitiful creature so I let him off the hook after that. We proceeded to get the badges done. And on preparation day, he goes off again to Gombak to help the badge guy make the badges. It took four hours to get them done. I still have no idea if Ridzuan made those badges by hand. He must have, right? That's why his contribution matters so much.

He did surprise me by getting quite a lot of customers to sign up on task day though. I did tell him that he would need to redeem himself because he had let me down a few times all ready.

Anyway, Ridzuan, you suck. You are the typical stereotype of a man who tak sedar diri. You have to realise that you got kicked out first was not because the team has this whole agenda to gang up on you. It was more like, it was the most obvious choice as to who must be kicked out first!

And a person who lets himself be a doormat, but behind everybody's backs yaps like a kicked dog, shouldn't be boasting about having leadership skills. You know why? Because my dear friend, you have none.

Muahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
