SAMUN!SAMUN!ROBBER!ROBBER!
PAK LAH!!!WHAT HAPPEN?

Started working after a long festive holiday.Went back to office feeling fresh and energitic.Unfortunately, my new year mood has then been ruined by a group of unwelcomed guests who dropped by at our office early in the morning.

two men in their uniform with name tags imprinted with their names, came into my office looking for my boss.One of them carrying a pack of mandarin orrange in his hand.

Below is the conversation:

man in uniform: Boss ada?
me in irritation: ada, tapi semua meeting, apa boleh saya bantu?
man in uniform: semua meeting ke?
me in irritation: ya. kenapa ni?
man in uniform: tak ada apa, ingat nak ucap " gong xi fa cai" kepada boss aje.
me in extreme irritation: maaf la, boss meeting, saya tak berani nak ganggu.
man in uniform: ok

They then left our office, they continued their mission at the other offices. THIS GROUP WAS THE FIRST GROUP, THE SECOND AND THE THIRD GROUP CAME REPEATING THE SAME " DUTY" IN THE AFTERNOON!!!!

my godness! we as the tax payer pay their wages to carry out duties, yet they only bother how to dig money from us ! day light robbery!what the hell are they doing? what the hell is going on with the civil servant in Malaysia? what the hell the meaning of " saya anti rasuah"? not workable at all! They are practising " SAYA MINTA RASUAH"!!!

新的一年到了,不贪心的我有以下的愿望;希望能一一实现,

1. 家人身体健康,姐姐妹妹读书的学业进步, 上班的步步高升, 无忧无虑,心想事成.

各位!猪年快乐! 万事如意!心想事成!

Hanya RM300 untuk Ibu Tunggal,
Tetapi RM400 juta untuk Istana Negara Baru !!!!!!

Pada hari sabtu yang lepas, saya berpeluang hadir ke suatu aktiviti anjuran Parti Tindakan Demokratik ( DAP) kawasan Cheras. Aktiviti kebajikan ini diadakan oleh DAP Cheras setiap tahun sebelum menyambut Tahun Baru Cina.Aktiviti tersebut diadakan bagi tujuan menghulur bantuan dari segi kewangan dan barangan kepada golongan warga tua, ibu tunggal dan yang kurang keupayaan.

Yang hadir lebih kurang 80 orang termasuk golongan budiwan yang turut hadir memberi angpow kepada kanak-kanak di situ. Golongan yang menerima bantuan berasa terharu and gembira terhadap golongan dermawan yang murah hati dan juga DAP Cheras yang mengambil berat keatas mereka. Sebagai sukarelawan, kami semua turut berasa gembira melihat air muka golongan ini selepas menerima bantuan.

Saya mengambil kesempatan untuk bersembang dengan seorang ibu tunggal ( di sini saya namakan " kak Yong") yang kehilangan suami akibat kemalangan beberapa tahun yang lalu. Kak Yong terpaksa melupakan kesedihanya dan gigih meneruskan misi sebagai seorang ibu kepada 4 orang anak lelaki. Apabila ditanya, kak Yong memberitahu saya bahawa dia menerima tajaan sebanyak RM300 setiap bulan daripada Jabatan Kebajikan Wilayah Persekutuan.

Ini amat mengejutkan saya! Kak Yong bekerja sebagai seorang tukang pembersih pejabat yang menerima gaji kasar sebanyak rm800 sebulan, ditolak dengan caruman EPF and Socso, Gaji bersih yang diterima lebih kurang RM700. Ditambah pula RM300, ini bermaksud Kak Yong dan keempat-empat orang anaknya hanya boleh membelanja RM 1000 dalam sebulan sahaja! biar saya cuba senaraikan anggaran belanjawan bagi Kak Yong,

Andaikan kak Yong :

1. berjalan kaki ke tempat kerja
2. makan masakan dari rumah untuk sarapan pagi dan tengah hari
3. tidak memiliki telefon bimbit
4. memakai hanya baju lama ataupun pembelian orang lain
5. tidak membeli pakaian baju, buku-buku rujukan kepada keempat-empat orang anak
6. tidak menonton wayang di pawagam
7. tidak membeli apa-apa perlindungan insuran
8. tidak menghadiri ke majlis perkahwinan
9. tidak membeli suratkhabar yang berharga minima RM36 sebulan
10. tidak menikmati perkhidmatan Astro
11. tidak memiliki kenderaan sendiri kecuali basikal

andaian Perbelanjaan sebulan kak Yong adalah seperti berikut,

1. Tambang Bas ke sekolah(4 orang anak, andaikan RM4 seorang, bersekolah 6 hari)-RM384
2. Belanjaan ke atas makan(dimasak oleh kak Yong, andaikan RM15 sehari)-RM465
3. Bayaran sewa rumah PPR-Rm124
4. Barayan bil Elektrik- RM50
5. Bayaran bil air- Rm10( sebelum harga air dinaikkan dan setiap ahli keluarga dibenarkan mandi sekali sehari tanpa memasak air panas)
6. Bayaran Telefon- RM35( andaikan mereka jarang membuat panggilan, bayaran ini merupakan bayaran sewa telefon yang wajib dibayar)

Jumlah anggaran perbelanjaan asas- Rm 1068.00! tetapi dengan hanya Rm1000 setiap bulan, adakah Kak Yong dapat menjalani kehidupannya tanpa tekanan? adakah anak-anak Kak Yong yang masih kecil memahami kesenggsaran ibunya dan memendamkan keinginan membeli baju-baju, buku-buku cerita, permainan dan sebagainya?

Saya berasa sedih selepas berbual dengan Kak Yong, salah seorang daripada ibu tunggal yang hadir pada hari itu. Terdapat begitu banyak lagi kes sedemikian di selurah negara, kes- kes yang mungkin lagi teruk daripada apa yang dialami Kak Yong.

Dalam hati saya, saya turut berfikir,

• Mengapakah pihak kerajaan sudi menghabiskan RM400 juta untuk membina sebuah istana yang canggih yang tidak dapat dinikmati oleh rakyat jelata dan lebih berfungsi sebagai sebuah bangunan hiasan bagi tujuan menarik pelancong luar negara?
  
• pihak kerajaan wajar menjaga kebajikan rakyat jelata.

Saya yakin kes-kes jenayah seperti perompakan, ugutan, meragut beg, pembunuhan, pergaduhan akan dapat dikurangkan jikalau setiap rakyat Jelata hidup dalam keadaan yang stabil yang mana keperluan-keperluan asas mereka dapat dipenuhi.

Announcement!

I have changed my name, call me Carlmen Leong.

PAY RM4,000, A PPR UNIT-YOURS!

Another "true" story( kisah "benar"):

A divorced Indian laddy, Madam N Stayed in a " Rumah Setinggan " in Cheras with her the only son. She works in cheras as a cleaner earning RM700 every month.

In September 2006, her house was ruined by flood. On that scary night, the rain was so heavy that all her belongings were damaged. Fridge, shelves, clothes cabinet, television, radio, furniture....all gone..( no more elaboration on how she felt, everyone can imagine it..)

She filled in form, applying for a Projek Perumahan Rakyat from the DBKL office in Kampung Baru, after few months of delay, she was finally given a unit in PPR Puchong! and, her another nightmare began, to and fro form the workplace and her new house, what an " overweight" burden to her! not only that she has to spend more on the bus fare, but, she has to bring her kid to his school located in Cheras very early in the morning!

Having thorough thought, she decided to request for transfer of PPR from Puchong to Cheras. She never demands much except a shelter for her and her son at a unit in PPR located in Cheras area.

Filled in form again, went to DBKL, submitted whatever application forms and letters that she could present.

and, dear all, below the conversation between herself and one of the DBKL officer,

Madam N: Encik, tolonglah, susah bagi saya berulang alik,gaji pun tak seberapa, semua kena belanja untuk menambang bus!

Officer: apa susah susah ni? dulu minta rumah kami sudah kasih, sekarang tak boleh pindah, lu tinggal situ untuk tiga tahun. bila kontrak penuh, awak minta balik Cheras, saya akan kasih awak mana-mana unit di cheras. tapi unit bukan baru punya. saya kasih satu bilik untuk awak. masa tu, mau tak mau, u suka!

She was so sad. The officer didnt even receive all the documents she presented. could not help herself but cried in the waiting area. A man from public came to her. Below the conversation:

The Man: Aji, apa nangis ada? tak payah susah susah minta tukar, sini pergi situ cari. mahu mana mana unit, cakap aje, senang. bayar RM4,000 untuk satu unit! saya punya adik dah berumah, tapi dia bayar R4,000 sini, dapatlah rumah PPR di Cheras, rumah baru! senang!karang ni rumah tu kasih sewa aje. untung juga!

Madam N; pakcik, pikirlah, kalau saya ada duit rm4,000, mahukah saya susah ni macam? rm40 pun saya susah payah jimat jimat, usah cakap RM4,000!

she left the DBKL office

Dear all, this is a damn "real' story took place in this " Boleh Land"!sad huh? Malaysia Boleh!

CORRUPTION?NO PLEASE!

"Duit kopi, Duit Kopi, Duit Kopi!" sound familiar huh? this noun phrase not only widely heard in Malaysia but also widely used in our " semua boleh" land. I am working in a private company located in a business area with limitted car parks. We have paid officially to the local anthority for two parking lots. It costs about rm 320 ++ per month. Still, the car park is not enough! the staff and the guests have been through so much hardship in searching for car park in that area, they will get one if only they are lucky enough!( which is hardly happen)

to SOLVE it, we park our cars along the pathway ( located at the corner lot, we have a big wide area for illegal parking)

Know what? those " IDIOTS" started their " day- light- robbery", approached us for " duit untuk minum kopi, kalau tidak, kami akan datang tiap-tiap hari untuk bagi saman" ...this was what those idiots told me....Wow.....they are robber, aren't they???? to make thing worse, we were not approached by only one gang but two gangs!

every month then, they appear punctually at our office, waiting for the " duit kopi"...
imagine this ,
one office - RM200
10 offices - RM2000
50 offices- RM10,000.00! per month! ( in one area only, usually they cover more than two areas!)

Well, many of u may think that we are wrong at the first place for parking the cars at the illegal place, dear ones, where else can we park? if the malaysia public transportation is 50% as efficient as the transportation system in Singapore, then do you think the ordinary citizen will ever own a car?

EXCUSE ME?
Owning a car while the fuel price keeps arising even though Malaysia is the Petroleum Producer?
Owning a car while the tol price keeps increasing due to the corrupt government who has signed disclosed agreement with high way concession companies?
Owning a car while we still have to suffer the heavy traffic congestion in highway daily?

Come on! spare the innocent Citizen!

You want to put an end to the corruption? here are some ideas to share:

1. Pak Lah must ensure that the Badan Pencegah Rasuah (BPR) is an independant body which reports only to the Parliament.

2. The Opposition party must be allowed to join in as the committee member of BPR

3. Make the prosedure of reporting/lodging any corruption easier and more confidental. witnesses must be protected.

3. Increase the salary of all the Government Servants, increase by 100% at least. A show of sincerity and seriousness of PAK LAH wanting to curb corruption.

4. High salary make the officers especially the trafiic officers think twice before taking/asking/begging for bribe.

5. Educate the citizen effectively. Instill in them how bad and "retarded" a nation will be with the existance of corruption.

6. Pak LAH, do away " Budaya Tongkat", let's play the game fair. make all citizen competative regardless of race and religion. after all, we are competing with the world and not with our ownselves! WE WANT FAIR GAME!

LET'S SAY NO TO CORRUPTION!!!!

A LETTER TO MY FRIEND- TENNYICE

Tennyice,

Visited your blog, you referred the place as " Zoo".hahhaa. dear friend, You have reminded me of that " Zoo" which we once worked for..to believe it or not, i think i am kind of missing those old days when we had fun together in the zoo before the zoo was badly polluted.

when the top management decided to carry out renovation, we all agreed to help each other, only coorperation in a team will make miracles happen. Unfortunately, untrained "Zoo residents" failed to understand this statement and had performed their "uncivilized behaviour".... sad huh?

Tennyice,

Thanks for reminding me the time we spent together, short but fun and full of joy; " Size-5 slipper for "Orang Utan", " Jual Tinggal Tebu for Badak", " Singing and Yielding monkey"..etc...all are still fresh in my mind...hahhaha.....we are so mean!

Tennyice,

I got to leave the Zoo two weeks earlier than the notice i served, out of my own control. i just could not allow myself to be locked into any cages in the Zoo! i was about to go crazy living with those animals....what an impulsive decision i took..huh?hmmmm......still, no regret.

Tennyice,

When i thought back, i still remebered well that my duties in the Zoo. i worked as the driver driving top manager here and there, i made sure the Zoo website was attractive and user friendly, during the period of renovation, i even washed the toilets so that those animals could enjoy clean and fresh toilets..but....

Tennyice,

None of us should request appreciation from others. but allow me to act abit too much, i was not even treated to a farewell meal by the Zoo Management! how do you think i felt? till now, i feel bad..very bad..not a word from the top manager, not a thankful word from my top manager. nothing except questions still puzzling me-
" was all the work that i had done been labelled as " not worthy, useless"?
" have i wasted my two years working in the zoo?"

I do not know...really...do not know. I dont even want to discover more as, i just afraid that the truth could be damn crual that will put me to total collapse..

Tennyice,

Thanks for being there even it was short...only a year time...i am pretty sure that you and i learnt alot from the zoo.

Zoo
Without You, we would not be knowing each other,
Without You, we would not be growing,
Without You, we would not be discovering human weakness,
Without You, we would not be humble and mature...

take care...tennice
take care...my respected top manager
take care...Zoo!

Oppsss....a friend of mine just told me that her boyfriend proposed to her.....well, she is kinf of in dilemna...hmmm....guess what she needs to look into is wether these questions have got a " yes".

1. is he the one that she wishes to spend the rest of the life with?
2. is he mature enough to build a family with her? mature in the sense that he has his own carrer and he is independent.
3. does she feel secure being with the man. can the man offer her security even when the man is not beside her?
4. can she accept that the man is the father of her kids in the future?

hmmm.....the answer to these questions, seems to be easy and, got to think thoroughly. just can simply give a nod to the man and she will be in regret for the rest of her life. that is marriage, sound easy but gosh, responsibility counts!

good luck to her! and also to me......just hope that i will have the answer to these question in near future too!

FURIOUS! What a chicken State Assemblyman!

Read from the newspaper that a state assemblyman from Seremban had quit himself from a political party, which is Democratic Action Party( DAP)...it is very furious and saddening!

it has not been easy being an opposition in Malaysia, many may agree that lots to be sacrified being in the opposition party. Joining the opposition will ensure you no personal profit but looking at the big picture, opposition party is badly needed in Malaysia to make our nation a better one! and, DAP is doing well in this mission.

Just wonder how come the State assemblyman could easily let go the hope of the people in general and the hope of the party in particular?? he has severely damaged the image of the party and himself!

Well, he used " the N.Sembilan State committee is chaostic" as the sole reason for him to leave! Bullshit! dont blame others for your own wrongful decision...being a top leader in an organisation, one is to hold responsible to anything happen in his organisation, and not just walk away like a free man!

This man has got no more credibility....how can rakyat believe in him anymore? Lim, the wise people let go of you for being such a chicken, but the wise people will never let go of DAP, being the best opposition party in Malaysia!

Good statements to share, not to miss !
" a challenge to LIM FUI MENG"
林辉明是误以为自己患上了老人痴呆症??

well,well,well...if notice the time gap of this post and the previous one, easy to notice that i have not been updating my blog, the reason is...i have been adapting to the new working environment and also....the worst part is....i have forgotten the password again!! sigh...just hope that this is not the sign of getting older!thanks to pathma..who reminded me to update my blog...hope that she is doing fine now, guess she is now in hospital for a minor surgery? all the best! dear friend.....be strong!

oh....no.....oh...no.....am feeling so uneasy now! i had done a very bad job last nite in a function. I was asked to chair a dialog held jointly by a local press and a politician last night.

what happened was it, i did the translation( Kantonese into BM and the reverse) badly, i could not even believe that it was my work! oh...no.....i am not a perfect melancholis who want things to be perfectly right but i do give myself certain level of expectation...it was just...embarrasing!

hmmm...guess i got to attend more of those alike events to observe how the chairs carry out their work. Should i be given chances again in the future, i will perform the best.... " I 'll Be Back!"

Speaking of Powerful choleric, there is one whom i know( know her after i finished that book). From her personality, i know for sure that she is Powerful choleric:
1. Walk fast
2. Talk fast
3. Wear simple
4. Bossy
5. Wanting others' to be obedient
6. Control of power
7. Has comment on whatever decision others have made
8. Grabs all workload onto her own self.( no job delegation)

That is the type mentioned in that book i read !well, in order not to trigger conflict with her, the best way is to obey her, but, with certain limit. I have managed to identify myself as powerful choleric cum popular sanguine, thus must becareful in dealing with another pure powerful choleric in workplace.

anyone of you has better suggestion on how to deal with pure powerful choleric?
hmmmm....how to make those pure powerful choleric understand that" Tell other only what the outcome he/she wants, and let other to work on it, and not tell other how to do work from A-Z.."

well, recently i just completed reading a book entitled " PERSONALITY PUZZLE'- piecing togetehr the personalities in your workplace, written by Florence Littauer & Marita Littauer. honestly, the books is great, i was so amazed with the method the authors used to categorize personality, into 4 cateories: Powerful Choleric, Popular Sanguines, perfect Melancholies, Peaceful phlegmatics.

each of the group has unique way to be identified...and, from knowing the details of these personalities, wow...we can roughly tell how the person like and what the person does not like! great huh? any more alike books in the market? please let me know....

hmmmm....i got to end up creating a new blogg as, i have totally forgotten my old user name and the password! lame!

well...am having a newblogg but cant really figure out what to put in it...my friends put their great great photos...but i seldom have great photos...what to put huh? any suggestion? please, make sureno lame suggestion yeah....:)

infact, i welome very much those who wish to share their views on "Organization management", i come to understand that in any of the organization, there are will surely problematic staff and lame management, how is it? how to overcome it? what happen?....wel, wana share?

btw, fyi, i studied management and i never give up reading managemnet books as well as books on human behavior....come on up...let's talk and share
