Notes: This is gonna be a little bit personal..
I was an engineer 2 years back, resigned, and enjoying the moment as a mother of a very chubby son. It’s only recently that the feeling of getting back to work grows again. Since early this year, had started applying for government posts. I really wanted a gov job since it’d be a better job for a woman with a kid, comparing to an engineering job. Of course it’d be less exciting or challenging. Since the job offer seemed to be such a waiting, I started to apply for engineering posts, it’s not that easy to get an interview, but with God’s will, been to a couple of interviews, and currently awaiting the result of the most previous one.

On one sunny day, a letter from UKM arrived in the postbox, it’s an invitation to sit for an exam for one post of Pegawai Tadbir !!! Was so very happy until I discovered the heartbreaking fact, the exam was on 25th November 2009 !!!!

The mail stamped at 19th Nov, with the mail dated 13th Nov, but it got to my hand on 2nd December 2009 !!!!!!!! The route from Seri Kembangan to Bangi would’ve taken only around 20mins by car, and the mail, took 14days. It was really really heartbreaking, especially to someone who missed a desired job opportunity because of a delayed mail. A ‘tragedy’ once published and aired on paper and news, now became one of my experience. Pos Malaysia should really monitor their employees because things like this is not considered a small matter. Nevertheless, it’s the ethics within oneself that determines how one works, and lead their life.
