Putrajaya Misadventures

Yesterday was interesting. It was hectic, but somehow satisfying.

The division is gaining its popularity through daily comments on local newspaper.I was assigned to do  media monitoring. This job is fun. It is ,in the sense that I was used to it not so long ago when I had a short stint in a media monitoring agency.

Drafting a press release, is a tedious job. Before any information is about to be disseminated to the public, there are a lot things to be put into consideration. If Biro Pengaduan Awam standard operating procedure stated that you have to answer the complaint in three days, I've answered at least three queries everyday , but then again it was not like you can immediately respond direct to the person like sending an email or update your blog. These information should go through proper channels, checked and edited and agreed to be published.

In the public service, everybody was taught to protect Rahsia Kerajaan. It is part of integrity and loyalty towards the service. I think most of my colleagues are eager and motivated to respond to the clients, but we have to act wisely because our division is handling one of the most sensitive business nowadays. Scholarships is a reward. Most people think they deserved one. Who would refuse a free funded education right?

Again, what we do here is more of social obligation. In making sure that everybody gets a fair chance, we have policies and procedures which was currently being condemned and need some more revamp.

And to say that we are not being thorough in our jurisdictions, I think I will leave to the rest to see how the scholars give back to the society. This is subjective. Everybody has their own aims and ambitions.

Again, I leave it to you to think about it.
