NFC Project; an ethical perspective?


I am looking forward on how the issue of NFC (National Feedlot Centre) will be handled by the society or even the person in-charge. There are many parties or components involved, and many questions arises such as

1. Who owns the project?

2. Who has taken it over and why?

3. What has the impact on the nation?

4. Can it be a distributive justice project?

5. Is it ethical to the tax payer to have a loss project?

There are many more questions. However, the biggest question that we could ask as a tax payer, is moral? Is it Ethical in changing the projects into many hands and at last it turn sour.

Most tax payer is not interested anymore on reasons why the directors have taken certain action to ensure the profitability NFC. Many citizens will be asking

a. Is it moral? Is it ethical?

The project was awarded to LTA where the interest of the nation is the main key that is to unsure the supply of beef is sufficient. This could resolve to certain extent on the increase in food price. It cost to a huge amount of RM300 million.

Later the project was much mentioned by PAC (Public Accountant Committee, led by Datuk Seri Azmi Khalid); enlighten the society on what had happen to this particular project.

The A-G’s Report, which was released last month, pointed out that production in 2010 was only 3,289 head of cattle or 41.1% of the target set. The NFC was set up three years ago to transform the cattle and beef industry, aided by satellite farms, to meet 40% of local beef demand by the end of last year.

Some people suggest that, all project which involves the public interest must be able to stand for public scrutinizing and only then it is said to ethical practice has been exercised. According to Kant’s Opinion, an ethical scholar; “Moral is contain one’s doctrine and not dependent what happen accidently.” He also said that, “We must be able to defend a decision.”


Ethic Assignment Question:

1. Taking the case of NFC, in your perspective, explain on the morality and ethical perspective. Provide your justification
(OR)
