Hahaha ... "kejis" nyer tajuk entry nie kan? (pinjam kejap ayat feymes Meli and Adawiyah).
Anyway, today is my first day reporting for duty at Ministry of Tourism Malaysia (MOTOUR). Have been looking forward to this day ... sampai research lab on urban development in Singapore jadi research on Singapore's tourism industry hehehe ... As I had mentioned in my last entry, Singapore and Penang nie share the same history and commonalities but lately Penang mcm dah tertinggal jauh. Of course, Singapore and Penang at present ibarat mcm comparing orange and apple but as tourist destination, Penang definitely has it's own mark on the map.
Right now, I am fully detach or devoid of any sentimental feelings for my previous Ministry. Not that I will never cherish the memories and experience I gained throughout my service there, I just don't want to compare and I want to ensure I blend into the MOTOUR culture fast. Plus, semua Ministry memang ada common problems... maybe job description jer berubah. Even masa berborak dengan officers lama MOTOUR, banyaklah stori mori yang menarik keluar. In fact, tgk office MOTOUR at PWTC and PUTRA PLACE ... tak jauh beza pun dengan ofis KPKT. Nama pun Government...
My batchmate ... Nel (Sabah Office), Adawiyah (N9 Office) and junior batch Esther (Sarawak) reported today too. Jadi meriah lah sesi berkenalan dengan SUB Sumber Manusia , SUB Perkhidmatan Pelancongan, Timbalan Ketua Setiausaha (TKSU) Pelancongan and Ketua Setiausaha (KSU). I terpaksalah mengaku Cina and give my most Cina Penang looks today. I found out KSU pun orang Ayaq Itam ... OMG ... jiran sebelah rumah kah? Hahaha ... harus akak "mentererkan" diri tentang area Ayaq Itam and kawasan-kawasan yang sewaktu dengannya. Takut kena "spot check".
In fact, everyone dah "forewarned" me about Penang Office. From the politics, to the industry players, to the NGOs and staffs. This is where I think my experience in Enforcement become so important. Penangites to me memang "pro" in politics, consumerism, human rights ... and very sarcastic too. Just slightly better than KL lites. Tapi kan, enforcement KPKT pun lebih kurang jugak lah. Kalau setakat Penang jer, I can manage lah. Maybe I should treat this posting as new learning experience and rest sekejap from 8 years kepeningan kat enforcement. Sapa2 yang pernah kat enforcement tau lah.
I pun tersentak on how much I have lost in term of PTD Road Map lah ... Nel, Ad and Ester semua pernah buat HR, Admin and Kewangan. I if not menyibuk memang tak tahu langsung pasal admin and kewangan. Satu je lah my consolation ... nasib dulu Dr. P suruh I buat "hal ehwal korporat" for enforcement. At least I tau apa Star Rating, ISO, KPI, Pelan Strategik, penyediaan maklumbalas Parlimen, buat paperwork for penetapan dasar, Memorandum Jemaah Menteri etc. Like Ad put it... I banyak sangat buat core business Kementerian, bukan core business PTD.
I saw Ad and Esther were so worried bila we were informed that we have to do enforcement. To me ... mcm ofis lama pulak cuma saiz dan workload lebih kecik kot hahaha. I just work on to put everything in place dulu lah. Terkenang zaman re-org JPN start dulu ... I felt so hopeless when I don't know mcm mana nak re-organise staff ikut perjawatan yang diluluskan. Baru naik M48 pulak time tu. Time tu jugak lah baru sedar ... why we need to have sense of direction. Kalau boss sesat ... apa lagi anak buah! Terus akak pun check compass "fengshui" hahahaha
Oh cik yoyop ... buat masa nie tak nampak lagi objek-objek yang ingin dilihat.. was too worried pasal nak lapor diri to think about objek-objek. Tgklah if akak dah sampai ofis Penang nanti ...

Nampak dah ramai yg tunggu kat P. Pinang, no? Sedap bunyi gelaran Puan Direktor tu. Kenapa tak Cik Direktor untuk mem yg belum kahwin ya? First thing memang got to reorganize, then set your priorities.
