Here I am, back in my own sweet home, before departing for Hospital Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah (HOSHAS), Temerloh. Yes, that is my next destination for perhaps, the next 2 years.
The 4-days camp was relaxing, because there weren't any BTN element. Although it meant no fun exercises in the morning, it also means there wasn't anymore blatant shouts from the occasional political failures. No more restriction on mobile devices for fear of BTN speech been recorded, because the contents are sometimes rather saucy.
Anyhow, the lectures were somewhat useful, although it may not be so now. Maybe it'll be in 2 years time.
Of course, the most useful information is about the payscale.
UD41 for housemanship, UD44 for MO during compulsory service of 2 years. They'd promised UD48 for those who remained in government service after the 2 years of compulsory service, although it could be transitional in a matter of several months. But oh well, such payroll changes most of the time. It could even be different after a year or two (judging from the usual "moodswing" in the policies).
Besides, I'm not going to complain that my salary would not be able to feed my whole village. Some people take things for granted, hoping that the government will be paying them to feed everyone in their family, from Grandpa, Grandma, uncles, aunts, cousins, father, mother, brother, sisters, from that one single breadwinner. If that's the case, guess they hadn't learned about economics.
"Our wants are infinite, our resources are finite."
No one is ever going to complain about having too much money.
And similarly, no one will ever be satisfied regardless of their pay, when they couldn't take into account their job performances and capabilities.
It's rather interesting to see people from different walks of life, from various places and institutions. Most of us had different experiences to share, and seriously, 4 days wouldn't be enough to get to know all of them. We're going to be in a whole new environment after all, so a little larger network wouldn't hurt, nay?
So, here I am, packing for Temerloh, and staying at home while the clash of a new "religion" has occured. Believers and non-believers of Bersih 2.0. Anything that qualifies for endless debate with no finite solution would fit into the category. Oh, preferably with the essence of blind loyalty. It would not solve anything, but merely presenting an option of a different approach.
The verdict? My comment is just as sane as the protagonist of the novel "White Tiger" with his favorite remark of "WAFJ". Go and rally and vandalize all you want in your own states, oh dear hooligans. This is definitely not Arab Spring. This is no Aung San Suu Kyi's liberalism either (although some deluded person may want to liken himself to her).
In fact, this felt more like Thailand's Yellow shirt and Red shirt demonstration.
And here I am, thinking that smart lawyers would have done better than using such desperate ways.
In the end, no one is a winner.
Of course, apart from those who were hired and paid for participating in the rally.
So, sit back, and enjoy a peaceful weekend. :)
My packing will be done soon.
