As Kage would say, "define competent". We do have competent people over here at OSCC but they are forced to do slides and speeches for politicians so that they will look good and forced to sit through inane and mind numbing marathon meetings!
Sadly it seems nobody in the entire MAMPU can write a little something or anything on FOSS or tech. The Government has tried to do something by setting up a centre. But you know what? Most if not all agencies want hand holding and cuddling before they will try. Spoon feeding is preferred. Can't they just pick it up? If they can find the most obscure music video on Youtube and mp3 ringtones and porn out there on the Net, are they trying to say that they cannot find info on how to manage the Centos server? Bullocks! Have they even tried printing out the free as in cost Centos/RHEL manuals that are available on the web? It goes back to the whole point of people complaining that they do not have support. If they cannot even pick up the fracking phone and call up a vendor and ask for help, then they are already beyond help. No point as they say trying to whip a dead horse! Fact is, I am ashamed to say, many (I must stress not all!) in the civil service are just too lazy and not motivated to do anything of substance. I am too anak Malaysia, but the many whining and complaints from the civil service is just too hard to tahan.
