Sorry, a Vacancy has been filled
by R. Nadeswaran (10-28-12)@ www.thesundaily.my
Last Monday, a columnist applied for a "dream job" with a Customs Department after finding there have been fool-proof measures to lift income for free causes.
A week later, since he did not get nor expected a reply, he decided to pen a reply (purportedly) from a department.
Dear R. Nadeswaran
I have been destined to reply to your application. First, we would like to thank we for showing interest in a dialect as well as a happenings within. However, we bewail to inform we which a cavity had been filled long prior to we received your application.
To be honest, it is a process of this dialect to fill such "exciting" vacancies which involve shopping as well as income with internal promotions as well as as a make a difference of fact, such positions have been indifferent for officers from a middle sanctum. Perhaps, we will read about a heroics of such officers in destiny editions of a Auditor-General's Report, probably in 2017, as we had indicated in your letter.
Having pronounced that, we need to explain a little points in your duplicate which seem to indicate which there's a lot of indiscretion in a department. This is distant from a truth. On a contrary, we attest which whatever claims we made in your duplicate have been true as well as can endorse which they have been part of a work culture as well as etiquette (pun intended) which we have been sportive for decades. We may have a work-to-rule or other forms of industrial action if such systems which bring a single more revenue have been changed.
Ordering in excess of a requireme! nts is a single method we make make use of of to spend a bill allocated by a Treasury. Why should we save income which has been budgeted for a expenditure, even if we do not need a equipment?
We will look silly if we save supports for a supervision as well as we can justify which by putting upon record which we collect billions for a supervision as well as which output upon apparatus can be deliberate tiny shift or "weekend rojak money" as a single former minister called it.
Because we have not worked in a dialect or any supervision agency, we would not know a mechanics when it comes to spending. Let me give we an example. If we need 1,000 torchlights, we routinely put up a bill for 2,000 or in a little cases, 3,000. Our finance territory approves it as well as income has been budgeted.
If we make make use of of a income to buy usually 1,000 torchlights, subsequent year, income will usually be allocated for a reduce figure. So, going by a customary operating procedures (SOP), we buy 3,000 torchlights, irrespective of whether there is make make use of of for them. What is wrong in keeping them in a store? That's how a supervision system works. And of course, shopping such a quantity means there have been large discounts as well as a invoice is adjusted accordingly.
We applaud your goal to lift income for free purposes. Let us state which such spirit as well as vigour have been additionally with a officers, who additionally do their bit for a needy. Occasionally, they drop loose shift in a enclosure in a office. However, such efforts cannot be carried out in a same demeanour as we suggested. They cannot as well as never can obey Robin Hood as they have their commitments.
Some of a officers have more than a single mother as well as extended families to support, they have young kids study abroad as well as a little own two or more cars.
Some have been members of multiform golf clubs though avoid a bar meant for polite servants. This is since they do not want to show of! f their RM40,000 golf sets which will cause enviousness among fellow polite servants. That's why their oppulance cars can usually be seen being vacuumed as well as discriminating in a proportions of a little of a best clubs in a country.
But they do a little for multitude as well as their contributions have been minimal since a officers have been lerned to plan for a future. Hence upon retirement, with their pensions, a little of them live in bungalows in posh neighbourhoods as well as upon a fringes of golf courses.
While a little get used to vital in close buliding supposing by a government, there have been a little who live in bungalows or renting their properties to await their lifestyles. Thriftiness has enabled this latter group. Some of them begin saving from a day they begin their service as well as inside of 10 years, have been means to own bungalows costing a million each. Others just have to make a single swoop as well as have been made for life.
In perspective of a above as well as a "family concept" which is in practice, we cannot accept we into a fold.
