hillary clinton is staying in nevada today where she has three events scheduled. just five days until the nevada caucuses and a new sign how close the battle is there. jonathan karl, abc news, the white house. They have to be flexible, they have to learn on the job.įinally, hidden figures give me hope that change might still materialise, come GE14.Potential to switch the balance of power on this court from the conservatives to the liberals. Yet many of those graduates are also at fault - they had been spoon fed throughout our education system, until they have lost sight of the fact that in the real world, not everything is handed to them on a silver platter. In our country now, there's news of many unemployable graduates from our local public universities, Yes, there's that mismatch of our local public varsities training programs with what local industry needs. She not only took the bull by the horn but helped her fellow black colleagues keep pace with technology and got to keep their jobs. There is the truth of the saying 'where's there's a will, there's a way'.ĭorothy did not step back and allow herself to become a victim of the progress of technology at Nasa then. She moved on to work in electronic computing and programming.
So, no Big Brother's helping hand but initiative and hard work led her to be promoted as the first black supervisor at Langley in 1951. She took it upon herself to learn the computing language to do the necessary programming then and went on to help train her black colleagues at Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory.

In the movie, Katherine Johnson's courage and belief in herself is outstanding. Unless one chooses not to see, it is blatantly obvious our authorities are using hidden figures to escape a proper accounting of their misdeeds. The Department of Justice (DOJ) of the United States has taken action to recover funds siphoned from 1MDB to acquire properties in the US, primarily. Yet, here we are told not a sen of 1MDB funds have disappeared.
Just look south, Singapore has already sentenced a few individuals to jail for their roles in the money laundering of 1MDB funds. This politician has put to shame his supposedly good academic background by hiding figures from that audience that should enable the thinking and rational rakyat to make more informed decisions.Īll our institutions of state are using hidden figures to hoodwink the rural folks and the unthinking rakyat that all is rosy with the 1MDB issue. Khairy's rhetoric about the political will to abolish vernacular schools, to me, is a metaphor for the flip side of 'Hidden Figures'.
