Konpem dah

Assalamualaikum & Goodday

Last week i got my confirmation letter. So now, no more acting, I'm a confirmed M44 officer. Alhamdulillah....it's all God's doings.

Ekceli i've known about the confirmation via someone i never expected. THE SECOND BIG BOSS!!!. He SMSed me on Monday : Tahniah anda telah dinaikkan pangkat ke M44 sejak 30 Oktober 2007!

I was like terperanjat beruk you know. Not because of the confirmation, but because of the sms. I never tot the boss cared about a low level officer like me. Good for him lah.

When you are at the bottom of the chain, and someone higher up send you a simple sms like this, it means a lot lah. It might a PR exercise for him, but i really appreciated it. Thanks so much lah Dato', you made my day lah.

Just to explain how promotion in the government works. When you are promoted, you cant straight away assume the post, you have to go a probation period. During the probation period, you are just an acting officer for that post/grade. You have to fullfill all the prerequistes (i.e exams, courses etc etc) before JPA can confirm you.

So now, my friends are talking about promotion again. To me, i'm excited about promotion, but it comes to the actual work, i think it might be too early for me lah. To be in middle management is not easy, you think working in government is easy eh? No way man. I know you guys are skeptical, try it yourself then only you'll know.

Anyways, I'm all game for promotion, sapa taknak wei.... I just hope that it wont be that soon. At least wait till Akif is 1 year old. Then it'll easier to plan. For now, i just want to concentrate on the job yang kat depan mata nih. Kalo ada rezeki ada la, kalo takde pon aku redha :)

Some observation on Malay Dilemma

I realized that some Malays actually hate themselves for being Malays. Most of them usually practise very little of the malay culture and is more open toward life.

Moreover, they expect the not-so-open Malays to accept them as they are. Unfortunately, Malays are Malays, and it is hard for the not-so-open Malays to accept something that is too not Malay. Hence, the conflict of hating oneself being a Malay - presure from the society.

To me, the Malays need to change their perspective toward life, especially the malas & PHD attitude. But changing too much is also unwarranted lest we'll lose our identity. Be like the Japanese, they are sooooo advance in everything and yet preserve their culture and heritage.

Come on people, if you want to be different, dont look down on those who cant accept the changes just yet. Explain and justify it. And for those who's still stubborn to accept changes, dont flatly reject it, try to listen to the explanation. Offcourse they are not always right, but you too might make mistakes once in a while. Compromise la beb....

I need 575 GTC

Jakarta, 1 April (AKI) - Indonesia has banned the controversial anti-Koran film by the Dutch right-wing MP, Geert Wilders.
.
The Indonesian president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono called for calm in the mainly Muslim nation on Tuesday and said that Wilders would also be barred from entering the country.

I salute you Bapak SBY. Somehow i sometimes adore this Indonesian President. He's easily a much better president compared to his predecessors. Just wondering whether Malaysia, the home of the OIC Chairman will do the same thing :P

Boycott Dutch!

Of Change and Promotion

Assalamualaikum & Goodday

It's been a pretty boring working environment for last couple of weeks. The morale of the staffs seems to be at a very low level. The smiles are still there but i know it's a fake one. I guess its a process. They need some time to adjust to the new environment. True, we have a new boss, and we have to work according to his style. But the truth is, we are just humans. There are certain sentimental values that are still blocking the effort to change.

As for me, I'm not happy too. I was brought in by the previous boss and now the new boss wants to retain me. In a way, i feel if I stay, i'll be like a mercenary - no loyalty. I'm contemplating the possibility to transfer out to another division.

This is not about ideology, it's about doing your job with honesty and integrity. If I cannot perform 100%, what's the point of staying? Betul tak? At the end of the day, i need to feed my family with my salary rite? but if the salary is not 'berkat' as a result of me not being committed, what's the point?

On a more positive note, i heard that our batch is going to be promoted soon (soon is actually an overstatement ok) so if that is true, i might wait for a while la. We were last promoted in late 2006. But offcourse la, there are so many rumours regarding our promotion. Some say we are too young and inexperience and thus, we have to wait for a little while.

Literally, I agree la. We've been serving for only 4 years and 2 months. If we are promoted now, our seniors would be very envy of us la. During their time, it will take at least 15 years to be promoted.

Frankly, eventhough we are young, we are actually capable. Some bosses dont even know what's going on in his units. They actually have to bring us along whenever the big boss calls for a meeting lest they cannot answer. The only thing that my colleagues and i lack is that we have too much respect for the seniors eventhough they are not always right. It's a tradition thingy la. Because of this, we may not be able to carry our jobs effectively if we are promoted.

I think i'll let fate do the job for me la. I cant really think right now. Everything is gloomy and blurry. All i can think while at the office is to go back and play with my boys. And now, i have to endure another five hours before i can go home. and it gonna a slow and boring wait la.

see ya!
