我去网上申请应征政府公务员一职，SPA来信了通知我去参加考试。我原本只是抱着试一下的心态去申请而已，没有想到我以"超龄"的资格去申请也可以过第一关。
我在23/8/2006那一天去了一趟putrajaya，参加申请公务员的考试。详情稍后在写出来跟大家分享。
我发现参与考试者，超过90%都是巫裔同胞。除了我，还有一位华裔及印裔而已。
不知道大家有没有想过为什么其他种族比较少？
我认为很大的主要因素是非巫裔自己放弃了当公务员的机会。你认为呢？

The problem with this Malaysia country: Too many cronies greedy hands that are asking for easy money, instead of creating and earn for it!
The government can come up many plans, but nothing will succeed. Since Mahathir became prime minister, the plans are for cronies to become rich. It is good to have long term plans to develop and to set direction for the future, but in Malaysia it is more for the ministers and cronies to make good bucks out of it.
Firstly, the government must be transparent in awarding contracts, improve the existing infrastructures, weed out corruption, which are in dire state.
All in all, they actually want is to see the reverse of what it is now, i.e. the malays in control of everything.
As pointed out, the plan is not going to improve racial harmony as the NEP has been extended further. The government must plan to remove the crutches provided to the weak communities and allow them to progress on par with other races.
As long as the malay have the subsidy mentality, 100 years of NEP will not accomplish anything. They will forever be a backward race.
Take it away from him/her, the child will cry out. Forget about the 50 years as I am willing to bet my top dollar that it will last forever. The NEP will never die off and Umno will fight to the very end to make sure that it will go on forever.
I agree with one. Most youngsters now are ignorant of their rights - and many (among my own group of friends) have not registered as voters although they are eligible.
It may even be 100 years and we still vote for BN because it seems we have no choice at all. However, we all capable of making radical change through ballot box but still reluctant to do it since everyone fear of change.
The question of building a just and fair society is a dead ideal. Malaysia is already in the history book of legally accepting apartheid of a minority. There is no other possible historical interpretation.
If Malaysia is lucky, it will be said and apologized for it some day but if it is unlucky, it has to live in denial and eventually implode.
We should stop discussing this digging grave policy. Let us join the ruling (since we cannot beat it) - make our money and think of what other country we can emigrate to.
If you are to do a study among all Muslim countries, the level of development will be directly proportional to the level of Islamisation of the country.
Just do a study - you will know the fact. The reasons are so obvious why this is so. I do not want to elaborate here to hurt the feelings of Muslims but I mention just two:
- they sidelined the women.
- how many Muslims nations are in deep religious based wars?
- and plus many other activities against productivity.
You cannot have it both ways. Live in this world or live in the after world. There is time only for one.
This is why I see very bleak future for Malaysia the way it is heading - the day when we 'Talibanise' Malaysia.
Our constitution does not say we are a secular state. But by the same token, nowhere does it say we are an Islamic state either.
A country can be Islamic but yet remain secular in government. Turkey, Egypt and Algeria are prime examples. As long as the constitution remains the supreme law of the land, we are an Islamic country but a secular state.
All these are really non-issues as long as everybody sticks to the original game plan.
Look at it one way, it seems like they want to keep the NEP because they are taking advantage of perks and curbs, keep the Umno linked filthy rich.
First of all, the NEP has no goodwill towards the non-malays. They think that the non-malays are rich and can afford to run overseas because of the drought of local university places available?
This is another fallacy. Truth is a lot of the non-malay parents have to work their asses off, keeping a small unit family, just to use all their savings to finance education overseas because local opportunities are not forthcoming and not available.
Malaysia lose a lot of talents in such a way, especially when the NEP has indeed made certain non-malays very competitive on the global scale. For these people having been successful overseas and given a fair go at the opportunities, they will think twice to come home to adversity in Malaysia.
And that is a fact. Do you know that we lose almost 80% of our local talents to the US, UK and Australia every year! Go check the emigration records. Do you know that the Malaysian contingent is the largest oversea students in Australia, and almost 100% that succeeds takes up Australia PR and citizenship?
That is exactly the formula used by many progressive countries including the US, UK, Australia, even China.
These countries have policies that stress both the affirmative action to aid the poor and complement it with an emphasis on high standards, including robbing other countries of their human capital by enticements such as international scholarships.
So I can't understand why it is not palatable or applicable to the malays! Why lay back when you have the world as a challenge.
The failure of the various Malaysia communities to integrate is not because there is no common language, but the ill will festered by the outmoded communal politics that Umno Youth seems want to perpetuate, the NEP, and the lack of Malaysia kinship (e.g. one race want to be tuan).
It is only nature that human beings and animals learn more from failure than success. So, be prepared for a soul cleansing in the next 10-20 years in Malaysia.
Yes, the one common denominator is that they are all not Muslim countries. Even among Muslim countries, the less that Islamization is the focus of national existence, the better off the society from a social, political and economic standpoint.
That is why Turkey used to be relatively better off in various aspects compared to other Muslim countries but this has been starting to change recently.
Hate to say it but yes, obsession with Islam is anathema to progress, political stability, peace and economic well being.
We agree that it is difficult to manage a multiracial country like Malaysia with its diverse religions and races. It is also obvious from the discussion that the current political and economic model has failed us, particularly with regards to racial integration.
We are heading towards a crisis. We need to have a paradigm shift in our socio-economic model. Otherwise the omens look bad.
Now humans are humans, be it malays, Japanese or Israelis, when one is in absolute power there will be a tendency to sideline the minorities. Arrogance and abuse will crop in. There is no doubt about it.
To be developed, there should be peace, good sense of responsibilities, equality and cooperation. Of course, good leadership and governance is equally important. Every party should not to be made to feel deprived.
I still feel that mixing religion with politics is not wise - for we can see around the world almost everywhere trouble spots are based on religious differences and in countries where religion is part of politics. That is the reason why Malaysia although a Muslim country should remain secular.
In fact, if you look at all the topics in this board, every topic, every scandal, every issue, every educational ills, can be traced to the break down of the key values. The whole of opposition's work in parliament revolve around these 4 key values.
I don't blame Pak Lah for the break down of these values. I blame Mahathir for the systematic destruction of those values in his 22 years reign.
What are these values that I am talking about?
M eritocracy
A ccountability
T ransparency
I ntegrity
During TAR, Abdul Razak and Hussein Onn days, these values were still very much alive. But now they are all dead. If these values are not revived soon enough, it will be the death of Malaysia.
I hope I will not have to see this obituary - the death of Malaysia was due to the death of MATI.
The nation is sick with cancer tumors all over and a decision has to be made, and it has to be made now to operate. This is not like composing a symphony where you need to have inspiration before you can start to write the first bar.
Time and again, Pak Lah despite his rhetoric, has proven that he does not make decision base on issues, ideals and goals but rather that his decision are based on what is practical for him to do.
He has proven himself to be a man that do not have to courage to make great change nor he has proven himself to have a systematic plan to implement his plans.
Everything he does is tempered by opportunities and not practicality.
This is a perfect example where the Pak Lah seems to think he cannot afford to be seen pressured by both side of reformist, and those greedy within the party that wants change.
This is the prime minister, he is more cosmetic than real so in effect, all is lost already.
If the prime minister is a surgeon and I am the patient, I think I would be long gone by now, just because he has to wait for inspiration before he can, while in the meantime, I am bleeding to death or a malignant cancer continues to ravage the body.
No matter how Pak Lah reshuffle his cabinet, there is a certain inevitability that the same deadwood ministers and the same faces of corrupt ministers, who have been there for umpteen ages will still continue to hold office.
With so many scandals and setbacks over the past few months and the discontentment and mounting adverse public opinions, Pak Lah must be feeling the heat and pressure to do something quick with or without any inspiration.
It is sad to see most ministers, head of department and etc, are there for status, power and influence.
It should be about doing a great job for the agency and in the best interest of the ordinary people, and looked back with great pride and satisfaction of their achievements and a job well done!
Politic has seriously affected every ministry, department and agency. This is grossly unhealthy for the government and the delivery of effective, efficient and professional services to the ordinary people.
We are now at the crossroad, whereby it does not make much difference if Pak Lah decides to reshuffle or not. The whole machinery is slowly breaking down, just like old Proton Saga.
No point to do a top-overhaul. A general over-haul may last longer. The best option is to replace the whole engine block with a new one. This will meant Pak Lah has to go also.
He can't wait any longer. Might as well get it over with.
It takes a strong prime minister to discard his personal interest and political ties to dismantle the old, corrupt regime and start afresh. As I said, it takes a great man to institute such a mammoth change, a monumental change that will plot and shape the destiny of Malaysia.
How to keep universities relevant in the increasingly globalised world of the 21st century, universities have to spur top-notch research. We have the required infrastructure in our universities but an insufficient pool of talent.
Could this be due to the lower intellectual capability of Malaysians? Of course not. Our lack of talent is a self-afflicted and self-fulfilling phenomenon. It has been going on for decades.
A problem for Malaysia comes from its double-edged sword called; it is ethnic and cultural mix. Malaysia malays controls the countries political system, with Indians and Chinese in many places of power in business.
Some from the Chinese and Indian population feel they are being left behind with preferential treatment given to malay. This could create a very damaging brain drain on the knowledge economy of Malaysia.
A likely scenario could give tip the advantage to Singapore. Malaysian Chinese and Indians feeling left behind, move to Singapore to fill the brain drain there. Higher wages and standard of living would lure these workers there.
Singapore has calmed ethnic relations among the dominant Chinese, minority Indians and Malays, and westerners since the race riots of the 1960s, imposing controls on speech, the press and assembly in the process.
Salaries in Singapore are comparable to the US, but living costs are lower and Western researchers with children often receive subsidies for elite private schools.
Singapore has become more alluring in the wake of policy arguments inside the US.
By ignoring top minds in areas of specialisations which include medicine, information technology and engineering, we have essentially dumped our investment (subsidised by taxpayers money) down the drain at the last hurdle.
In effect, we have installed a brain drain in KL that empties into Singapore, Europe, Australia and America. These gainers are the lucky second buyers of our education.
We cannot afford to keep pushing away our most valuable resource in an increasingly level playing field. It is high time we stop this brain drain river and divert it into our pool.
I have been boycotting the media since few years back.
And now the boycotting has been made easier with the online version of newspapers. At least I won't be forking out money to buy those imbalance news reporting paper.
So do TV3 news; I just watched the main headlines only. I will never sit in front watching TV3 Buletin Utama till end. I don't want my mind being poisoned.
I prefer to surf the web for more accurate reporting.
Of the 3 mainstream English outlets, I think is referring to "The Sun" which is more balanced in reporting. The other 2 are purely BN official magazine.
No matter how the mainstream media criticize the government, they always leave a backdoor for themselves. They need the government to renew their printing license every year.
This made the media favored the government's policy indirectly. The TV stations are now all controlled by the government. Wa FM is gone, Ai FM is part of RTM, 988 is controlled by MCA.
Not much different voices left in the air. The only alternative is here - the Internet!
Though the media freedom in Malaysia is lesser and lesser, I still read newspaper. It is a habit, what to do?
For the TV stations, it has been years since I tuned in to RTM1, RTM2, TV3 etc, I rather spend my time productively watching Discovery Channel or National Geographic.
Can you imagine even on the eve of Merdeka Day when everyone should be tuning in to see what our PM has to say, I was watching other channels on Astro to amuse and entertain myself.
In the past, for many years, I noticed that whenever the PM addresses the citizens, he would say, "Agama kita", "Bahasa kita" or "Bangsa kita".
Who do you think he was addressing the message to? If I as a Malaysian is not included in his message, why should I listen anyway?
I was there when the late Tunku declared independence at the Merdeka Stadium and every year since, Merdeka Day was something special to me, but now sad to say, no more and the reason, as mentioned above.
Another dark day in the 2006 year for Malaysia media, newspaper is only good to report accidents, murder, robbery cases and not forgetting some business news and cartoons, and not for exposing scandals and justice purpose.
The cops?……….corrupted to the core.
The government?……….it is the animal farm all over again.
The media?……….no credibility with no moral compass.
I said before and I will say it again, with the current state of affairs in Malaysia, I am ashamed to call myself a Malaysian.
And some of you want to make a change? Wake up……….we are not fools.
The education minister post is not jinxed. The fact is that whoever is put in that post will not be able to function at all from day one due to two conflicting agendas:
(1) Umno agenda - party first, malays second, churning out graduates (regardless of quality) third, and non-malays last.
(2) University agenda - enrolment via meritocracy, independent courses and thoughts, knowledge and learning, useful to society - in all equally important or whatever order of priority.
Sadly, we all know that (1) and (2) cannot co-exist. So, whoever is put in charge is bound to fail. The system is designed to ensure failure. Period.
Only in Malaysia can an 'honourable' member of parliament admit that he was the person who had the audacity to ask the customs department to 'close an eye' in not seizing a consignment of logs imported by his company and still walk away proudly as if nothing he did was wrong.
With all the accusations hurled against him, this minister does not seem to regret his actions. He admitted he has an interest in the consignment and even had the cheek to say 'What is wrong with that?'
I am really disappointed that no action (so far) has been taken against this 'honourable' man. He has brought shame upon himself as an elected representative of the people, to parliament and to the party he represents.
An opposition member was suspended for six months without pay for a minor indiscretion, and here we have a minister from the ruling coalition who has openly admitted his wrongdoing and no punishment is meted out. What an irony!
No wonder there are others who simply do not abide by the law if they can help it because we already have people in high places who think what they have been doing all this while has been right anyway.
That is Malaysia Boleh for you.
Now we all know why these ministers are reluctant to allow live telecasts of parliament debates, for we will then see them in all their disgrace.
For the minister to blatantly say 'So what?' and all that, I think we now understand why the Malaysian government and its policies are going down the drain. If the BN can only offer the electorate ministers of these character and nature, we, the citizens should and must start worrying.
They do not represent the people interest, they represent their own interest. And our ministers have the audacity to ask the overseas professionals to be patriotic! What do these ministers expect?
The latest episode has revealed how powerless the Malaysia parliament is. The parliament like many other government institutions, has its fangs removed over the last 22 years.
In the words of former Umno supreme, Dr Mahathir, parliament is a mere rubberstamp and he made sure it was just that. When push comes to shove, we now know that BN ministers will vote for the interest of their party first and not the people who voted them in.
What is the point of Malaysians voting for a BN minister when he is bound to vote along party lines? In fact, this goes to show that it does not take much to be a BN minister. Just do as you are told and leave your principles and conscience at home.
What is more disappointing is Pak Lah's response to the whole Shahrir episode. I think the government should wrap up its National Integrity Plan and bury it.
If Pak Lah and his people are all good people with good intentions, and we should all do whatever the government says and toe the line prescribed by this 'man of courage and good intentions, interested in the greater good of the majority and trying to balance many conflicting demands cutting across all lines', then surely the most intelligent thing to do is to dissolve parliament.
What do we need parliamentary democracy for?
I would also like to take issue with his assessment that the PM is a man of courage. In the first place, if the PM is a man of courage, he has yet to demonstrate any signs remotely indicative of courage.
What Pak Lah has shown us so far is not only indecisiveness but a lack of commitment to combat corruption. Pak Lah has successfully deceived Malaysians by promising to clean up corruption.
However, after getting such a huge mandate from the Malaysian voters, he has failed to live up to his promise. This PM is going to go down in history as nothing more than a great pretender.
Yes, a lot of non-malays in Malaysia are leaving this country. But what the hell, they (babiputras) don't care. They are happy that we leave.
I do agree with you of those you mentioned, our country is stepping backward, we are loosing in all aspects and yet overdue and retard ministers are still available on shelf. The ministers think that they are the only ones capable and qualified to be there and not replaceable, otherwise the country could collapse.
Looking at Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq likes looking at this country future. The well-connected malays are getting richer. This government is spoon feeding the malays at this nation expense. I am sick of this country too.
My advise is let them rot in their own stew.
The Barisan government has achieved 0% in reversing the trend of racism.
While South Africa has disbanded racism through the government's initiative after the global news onslaught, our Malaysia government leaders are propagating RACISM and FACISM in every way.
In term of racism, we are the most uncivilised country in the world. Look into our neighbouring countries of Asia, they are advancing economically on a straight forward objectives, for their citizens.
Whereas, we are moving in deviationist path, widely off the international economic theory, for the sole objective of propelling the well being of a supreme race.
Mahathir era is over, here we have Badawi. Is he changing the trend? Not a single sign of it! How about the future under Nazib?
Sad, sad. They have more camouflage in readiness.
The big problem in Malaysia is the government is keep protecting one race and spoon feed them. That is why the malays doesn't grow.
My friend who is the founder of Arab-Malaysian Bank from Dubai. He told me the malays in Malaysia are sucking lazy bastard and he encountered a lot of problems when setting up his first biz in Malaysia. What is your say?
One nation one race = Malaysians, but in Malaysia we don't call ourselves Malaysians, we call ourselves: non-Muslim bumis, Muslim bumis, Indians and Chinese. Can you see the problem here?
I came from Sabah and what I don't like is the government give IC to all those illegal immigrants who are only Muslims from southern Philippines, Pakistan and Indonesia till our population boomed up to 3 millions. Is that fair to the non-Muslims? Why don't the government give IC to the illegal immigrants from Vietnam, Laos and China?
70% crimes in Sabah are contributed by these bunches of culprits. Why is this double standards practice by the Malaysia government?
Why the illegal immigrants from southern Philippines, Pakistan and Indonesia were treated like first class citizens because after they got their IC, they can enjoy the benefits like the malay bumis!
Look at our Umno Youth nowadays, they such as a bunch of racist bastard and they only champion for their malays but they can't rule the multi-racial country because it will definitely fail! God knows!
The funny thing about the malay race is they cannot be shamed into changing, judging from the many scolding from the ex-PM dished out to them.
The Chinese are already immune to Umno usual tirades against the "pendatang". They want to continue the NEP beyond year 2020? Go ahead. It doesn't matter anymore. The system is already breaking down.
The malays have to pay for their own university education. The government just can't grant them all free scholarships anymore. The malays have to look for jobs on their own. The overly bloated civil service just can't absorb any more. The malays cannot expect a permanent pension from the government in the future. I think government just can't continue paying out pensions, when the average life expectancy is increasing.
The typical malays have to pay taxes. The dependence on the high-income earners taxes and on the corporate taxes as the primary source of government revenue is driving away foreign investments, as our current corporate tax rate is considered high.
The subsidies and price controls are not working anymore. The government just cannot continue this silly practice or else our neighbours would be enjoying our subsidies. The people may actually start demanding price hikes, just to see dependable supplies.
With tens of thousands of malay contractors dependent primarily on government jobs, the government is dragging themselves into accusations of favouritism and cronyism.
The government doesn't have to get rid of the crutches. There are no more wheelchairs or replacement crutches in the warehouse to replace broken crutches.
In a decade or two from now, the non-malays can just stand back and watch the malays curse their own useless malay leaders.
The Chinese believes that if you take or cheat something that does not belong to you, eventually you will have to repay more than what you have cheated. So, beware of the backlash of dishonesty. Can be very horrible.
The only way to break this cursed situation is to repent and return all that is taken or stolen from the rightful owners.
As we can witness many injustices done in Malaysia on the pretext of making a more balanced society in terms of property and business ownership.
The malays wanted 30% of the stock market but did not realise that when the KLSE took a tumble - they were the hardest hit too. So don't try to out smart God.
Whatever that does not belong to you will eventually be taken away. No matter how greedy or covetous you may be. God knows best!
Why am I not surprised at minister Nazri Aziz propensity to put his foot in his mouth? Yet again we hear this silly comment about non-malays not being interested to join the civil service.
While it may be true that non-malays are not interested anymore to join the civil service, Nazri Aziz must ask himself why this is so. Making comments like "their culture indicates they are not interested in working for the government" only shows the honourable minister poor understanding of the nation's history.
First, non-malays serving in the civil service are routinely by-passed for promotions. If they are promoted, they only sit in the third-tier.
For example, in the Education Ministry, there are no non-malay state education directors. You will have to look pretty hard to find a non-malay in a position of power.
In the armed forces, where can you find a non-malay of the rank colonel and above?
It is not that the non-malays are not interested. It is because they realise there are no career prospects for them. Promotion for an ambitious non-malay is non-existent.
Forty years ago, the civil service had many non-malays serving because they had opportunities for promotions. Now, there are none.
If opportunities for promotion are there, the non-malays will join the service. If not, there are greener pastures everywhere which is only to the detriment of a nation seeking global recognition.
Who benefits? Other neighbouring countries.
I am very confident that Vietnam will overtake us Malaysia before 2020. Their citizens are having the determination of moving forward and not looking backward.
Do not look down on Vietnam mental strength. Even in chess, they already produced few grandmasters, while we still remain behind with some international master titles only.
What Vietnam did is not comparable to our Oxbridge gang here training racist and mob future leader for the preparation of the 2020.
We should not compare to Vietnam because the standard is too high, we should compare to Afghanistan since we are also in the process of 'Talibanising the nation' and I guess we will reached there before the Afghanistan. Poppy will be our main export in future.
I am not Oxbridge but postgraduate from one of the world's top universities (non Malaysia). I can easily reel off a dozen reasons why Vietnam will overtake us and sooner than you think.
Sleep on Malaysia! I can't imagine any country that foolishly shoots itself in the feet. All the talk about human capital development is humbug - unless if you are thinking of only one race that seems perennially 'behind', decade after decade.
All the Umno politicians for the last 49 years have been perfectly useless not to be able to uplift its own kind.
And all that talk about the BN spirit and solving BN problems closed doors - absolute baloney! Wish I can just pack my bag and leave this swill and hogwash.
Malaysia is happy to be overtaken by any country in the world so long as malays can overtake non-malays in Malaysia. That is the 'Jaguh Kampung' mentality which has guided Malaysia since 1969.
And I glad I am out of this country. I would feel much better when I get citizenship elsewhere. Currently I only have permanent residence. Every single time I see the farce that all these BN idiots come up with I laugh my ass off.
We will work and strive our hardest to contribute to the country that accepts us as we are regardless of our skin color and race. The funny thing is we are treated more like first class citizens in our adopted countries as opposed to being second class citizens in the country we were born in.
Good luck to those who are still stuck in this God-forsaken paradise. Malaysia truly is a beautiful country. Unfortunately it was destroyed by a bunch of nincompoops
Just look at the red tape in Malaysia, the state sponsored segregation laws, the state of the police force, the education system that is exploited by Umno members to, and how can we forget - the crime rate. Can we be proud?
Patriotism does not mean keeping mum while the government destroys the country. If it is not working, change it. People are the government, choose your right one and don't whine after the next election.
I can bear the above if malays are using their true ability, persistence, intelligence, hard work and other proper means to over the non-malays. But in actual fact, you all know. The malays will bring down this country in no time!
Yes, instead of building towers they are building holes in the ground.
I have worked in Vietnam, worked with them, have many I call friends, and I will tell you this - It is not a question of it but when! In fact we don't have to look at Vietnam, Thailand will likely achieve Vision 2020 which we already know we will fail.
