duh...eh?

Be patient, PSD tells govt servants

PUTRAJAYA: Public Service Department director-general Tan Sri Ismail Adam yesterday hit out at Cuepacs for encouraging civil servants not to work overtime if the PSD fails to promote them.

He said Cuepacs should, instead, encourage civil servants to work harder to help the government to pull through the economic crisis.

Cuepacs president Omar Osman had said on Monday that some 50,000 of the lower level civil servants were threatening not to work over-time and would find a part-time job instead if PSD did not approve their promotions before May.

Ismail said civil servants should be grateful for their jobs as most of the people being laid off were in the private sector.
"We have their (civil servants) interest at heart but they need to be patient."

Encik Omar Osman must be a very popular man. Among his cohorts, that is. To be seen fighting for a noble cause. To be seen fighting for the rights of 'lowly' paid servants. To be seen as brave and confident, giving the ultimatum to their master, promote or else.

Yeah. Them government servants definitely deserve to be recognised. They have been working their asses off serving us, the public. As our servants, they definitely need a lucky break once in awhile. What being harassed by us from 8.30am right till the damn door closed at 4.00pm. Oopsss...how can I forget them morning, lunch and tea breaks? And those breaks between breaks? And those komputer offline la and pegawai tiada la arini? Or sila datang besok?

My bad.

Err...wait a bloody fuckin' minute. You were saying? Fifty mothafuckin' thousand bleeding lower level sonafuckin' bitchin' civil servants wanna fuckin' moonlight if they are not promoted? The whole bleeding herd need to be promoted before May? To a higher level civil servants? And then do what? The usual?

Maybe it's a blessing in disguise. Fifty thousand vacancies for those who were retrenched during these trying times. No?

Err...wait another fuckin' minute. So these new herd gonna replace whose places at that higher level of government civility? Those terminated because of lousy performance indexes? Those retired? No? Just to be absorbed into the already bloated whatchafuckincallit?

And why didn't this Tan Sri Ismail Adam just raise that finger and give the salute? Instead of trying to pacify? Is he the numero uno or not? What? He may harbour some political aspirations and may need grassroots support later? No? He's not the number one man and there are others pulling them strings? Duh!

May God spare some change for the future of our children.
