One has to have a political mind. Yes. Office politics. Meaning if you play the game well, your future will be very bright. You can compare a decent good worker and a lazy bad worker who knows her way around and you find that it is the lazy bad worker who gets everything. But will the top management know ? Will they do anything ? Does the Prime Minister know ? Does he get carried away by all the patriotic songs ? We slap our own faces every second of the day. We cheat others with our patriotic songs and our preachings but in reality we are far from the image we successfully conjure up in other people's minds. There is actually no transparency. There is actually no integrity. There is actually no fairness. There is actually no honesty. So what if the management has taken courses after courses and attended meetings after meetings but in the end it is all cheap holiday on government's money. You talk about wasting. That is an example of how money is wasted, how human capital is wasted and how time is wasted. And now with the focus on money, all the more the bad lazy workers will have an even brighter future.

Tapi kerajaan kita memang baguslah, tak ada kerja pun ambil kita masuk sini." That was what I overheard from a new civil servant talking to her friend the other day. I wonder whether our civil service has already become the dumping ground for unemployed graduates. “Saya pun tak tau nak buat apa di sini, kerja tak banyak, tiap-tiap hari masuk tengok Youtube dan tunggu gaji sahaja.
