Ditegur Pun Tak Boleh~

If u ask me, I'm a very big fan of Bureaucracy...yes yes...call me a little 'leceh' and old-fashion but actually, the bureaucracy helps you in many ways. When each thing we do, whcih is the formal business, bureaucracy will help you when things went bad...That particular letters or any memos will sort like bail you out...Orang Melayu cakap "ada hitam-putih"...see?

But now, many people lambast the bureaucracy system, like the system that work so well for the past hundreds years or so is having it flaws, a big one. It's like a big hole in a parachute, not helping at all should they say. The problem is not with the system. In France, where the bureaucracy originated the things go very, very well even sometimes people will ask the government worker if the particular letters are having a slightest part missing.

I'm a big fan of the system, it always bail me out when I'm in trouble and it will do it for you. In Malaysia the problem is also not the system, but the people. By the people i mean all of us, no matter if you are government worker or not. We all have our own faults, just bloody admit it. The problem with the government agencies, particularly, is their workers...from the lowest to the highest of the rank.

This is my own encounter with Malaysian Goverment agency, called Universiti Malaysia Sabah. I went to the library to search for some journals. As so, i went to the counter to ask for the cubicle room key...As i write down my name and matrix no., the clerk on-duty ask me very rudely to put the date on it, not just and us-side down '=' mark. I suggested to the clerk that every new day, she put at the beginning of the list, the date for that particular day so all the student will never have to put down the date again, just their name and matrix number...two things that different from one another.

But then, the exchange of 'punch' began...Here's what I remember.

me: "Kan bagus kalo dah di tulis tarikh kat atas ni, same je tarikh untuk hari ni kan?"

the bitch: "uina, ko ingat saya ni kuli ko ka? bnda kecil pon ndak mau tulis betul2"

me: "saya cadangkan aje, tak nak ikut xpe. Lagi pn cik kan main YM je kat kaunter ni, takda keje nak buat"

the bitch: "ko ni mau jadi bos saya ka ha?! mau suru2 org pula"

me: "WOI! ko xpaham ke mangkuk?! dah la gemuk, cakap orang paksa2 plak..aku cakap aku cadangkan aje...Ko tau ka aku sapa ha?!"

the bitch: "~"

me: "buang masa siak begaduh dgn kau, mari sni kunci!"

The rest is history...so, do u got my point? the problem is not the system but the people conducting it and using it..Me also at fault, after give it a thought the date is the smallest of the info-piece, why i should bother?

We're all humans, but that doesnt mean we can do same mistakes all over again...the system is there, respect it and use and also work with it...
