So is this true civil servants get perks like that and drive hond accords around and no need to sign in for work….and when under pressure uses their position and influence to make trouble to other honest living souls.

take for instance,DBKL is a very efficient enforcement department!
i will tell you a “half- inch ” story!
i remembered about 10 years ago,i went to jln.tar’s dbkl office to apply for a signboard license,immediately i saw two malay counter staff,their eyes were just staring at a gorgeous lady,i m just like invisible infront of them,never-mind,i asked them for an application form and the required documents,they said:’you sendiri baca,dalam ada tulis!”
so without further delay,as soon as the documents were completed,i sent it to them,it was later approved!
my contractor then installed the signboard to the facade accordingly,everything was fine,untill one day (about 1 month later),i received a ticket from dbkl!fined for rm120!
i angryly went to dbkl,the officer in-charged was a malay madam,talking thru a phone,i supposed with her ex-colleague,chitchitchatchat,dingdingdong,blablablabla for about 20 minutes!i was also like a transparentman infront of her!i couldnt tahan and scolded her directly!her male’s colleague(malay too,the staff inside almost 100% malays!) was trying to quarrel with me too!i said :”u mau gosip u balek rumah gosip sampai malamlah!i ada urusan ini!parking kereta i taruk setengah jam,kena saman u bayarke?”,reluctantly,she asked me to sit,i said”apa pasal u punya (i purposely being rude to her,i rily mad at her the way she ignored me just now)staff kasi i saman?kan u dah lulus?”
she took over the ticket and read,”ini salah you!itu perkataaan alat-alat komunikasi kalau gantung tingkat bawah,kena 3 inci,kalau
tingkat 1,kena 3 1/2 inci!”,i stunned for a while,”mengapa tak tulis terang-2 di borang?tinkat 14 berapa inci?tingkat 28 berapa inci?u punya staff tengok makwa pandailah,tak bagi taupun!u ingat kita hari-2 pohon ke?saman ini bukan salah saya,salah u orang!”,she replied”ini macam,you buat satu surat rayuan,i kasi setengah,habis cerita!”,i looked at her ,dont know wanted to smile or cry,bcos got another appointment,i have no choice to settle it,right on the spot!

A Malaysian Barack Obama? I have not seen one yet, keep looking.

History is in the making in the United States. I wish I could be a part of that. Unfortunately I will have to wait a little longer.

A lot of people who saw and heard Obama spoke for the first time in front of a crowd of some 16,000 people at the beginning of the campaign had their hairs stand on end! Because this is not just a candidate for the U.S. Presidential elections but a movement - and you cannot defeat a movement!

He is looked upon by many as the black JFK. He is unstoppable! Sorry, but I hate the idea of a woman being in the Oval Office especially when she is a Clinton.

History could be in the making too in Malaysia. We need a Malaysian Barack Obama to help make history!

One incidence I remember where this Malay girl kept on berating the licensing department. According to her, no one was at the counter; they were busy doing direct selling behind. “We are doing business and where do I have the time to wait until they completed their sales before attending to me.” Our frustration is also their frustration.

In the early years of Mahathir/Musa team, Musa used to drop at govt depts unannounced – those scenes captured in Lat’s cartoon. Mahathir work habit became the standard for govt servants, things like no tea-break. YB Lim should remember those years as he then, I think, was in the same wavelength as Mahathir. I used to deal a lot with the land/district office and the Majlis Perbandaran. There was a feeling of enthusiasm.

What do you get when the PM is perceived as sleeping? What is a PM that the youngster sent bolster and pillow? Who is he that tried to explain himself using God and God’s mandate? The little Mullahs arise, of course. Being complacent and taking bribes are the standard simply because there is no alternative standard to follow. In fact sometimes I pity the govt servants – they are so uninspired.

Yes, UMNO knows this, but their core political support comes from these govt workers. In their businesses the password is UMNO, so why should they care?
