Im working as a daily paid officer in a certain department. the thing is, i’ve been a daily paid officer for over a year now & up till now, i havent been promoted to a monthly based paid officer. i know most would probably say, “setahun labih jua saja. ada orang yang sampai 5 tahun tu lagi tia”. but the thing is, when i started working, i’ve been promised that i’d only be daily paid for a maximum time of one year. promises were written in black & white.

i tried calling to the department responsible about this. sometimes up to one a week, but the answer i always get is, “masih dalam process”. i mean, ever since April 2011, i started calling & all i get is in process. how long of a process do you need? it makes me wonder, “berat kah pen nya atu kan men-sign” borang? thats not the frustrating part yet. there are times when i called where they hung up on me. there are also times where they put me on hold & like a fool i waited just to found out that im hung up on few minutes later. see, what happened to TPOR?

to the responsible individuals, please understand. people got plans. people got commitments, people got responsibilities. you can just be ignorant & effect peoples life in such a way. you may say,

jangan pulang planning dulu = we live out life based on plans. others need to know & plan ahead.

jangan pulang me-loan / membali kereta apa = if i dont loan to buy my car, how do you expect me to go to work? how do you expect me to carry out my responsibilities? im surr you got responsibilities as well, what would you feel if those priviledges were neglected from you?

the thing is, i’ve got friends whom applied on october / july & such. they already received their monthly paid. together with their backdated. i filled out my form on february. what kind of joke is this??

responsible individuals, you may be ignorant because you dont know what people are going through. you dont know the situation people are in right now. so please. take some action.

Salam.. Di sini saya wakil dari peminat dan rakyat Brunei, berseru dan berharap agar akan dibina sebuah lagi Stadium Negara yang besar, canggih, selesa, hebat dan mengkagumkan bagi kemudahan di masa hadapan untuk Negara Brunei Darussalam, sama ada di masa akan datang negara kitani menyambut mana-mana kejohanan ASEAN, seperti contoh SUKAN SEA, Bolasepak, Liga Brunei DST, Olimpik dan sebagainya… Di harap2 ada pihak2 yang berkaitan dapat memikirkan pembangunan seperti yang dimaksudkan.. Syukurlah kalau2 besar Stadium Negara kita seperti Stadium Bukit Jalil, Selangor… Baru best..hehe

Tujuan adalah bagi mengelakkan kesempitan bagi menampung keramaian dan sikap tidak berpuashati sebelum2nya yang telah berlaku..

k Wassalam.. Peace

Harap2 dapat dipertimbangkan.. tani jua siuk tu nanti

During our recent visit to a department store in Mentiri, we were surprised by some people that sells second-hand imported refrigerators. First re-con cars, tyres and now refrigerators too? Do we really need such an old used trash? I mean, unless the importers were to import in or so on. I don’t understand the need for us to import such used items. The relevant authorities should consider before giving approval for such imports. Our nation have it’s own pride of being a well to do and rich nation. I wonder what will be next to degrade our pride!

So what is the feedback from MMN about the private sector? Anak belia tempatan in private sector need to be given ’specialty’ from the government sector.

Saya menghargai reporter yang mendedahkan seorang ibu tunggal yang terpaksa tidur di surau. sangat mengharukan dan membuka mata bagi kita masyarakat Brunei yang selalu dianggap hidup senang lenang. tapi itu perkara lain. isu yang saya hendak timbulkan MENGAPAKAH GAMBAR & NAMA SI ANAK itu tidak disensus? pendedahan ini akan memberi banyak kesan kepada anak yang comel itu [ini adalah jangkaan saya sahaja kerana saya bukan ahli sikologi]. di negara-negara lain, gambar anak yang di bawah umur itu biasanya dikaburkan untuk menjaga imej / nama / maruah si anak ini. tidak kah kitani di Brunei mempunyai sifat yang dinamakan awar-galat lagi sehingga reporter ini tersasar dari matlamat yang sebenar. bandingkan dengan laporan mengenai perbuatan rasuah (melibatkan berjuta juta ringgit) seorang tauke yang telah melarikan diri dari NBD. kitani dapat tau namanya saja dari warta berita dan akhbar tempatan tetapi gambarnya tidak dikeluarkan. saya yakin etika wujud di bidang journalism.

Asalamualaikum,

Saya ingin memberi pendapat mengenai masalah pengganguran, masalah ini sudah lama terjadi di negara kita. Walaupun benar, negara kita adalah negara yang kaya tetapi tidak bermakna rakyat juga adalah kaya. Andai kata pun rakyat turut senang tetapi saya sangat pasti tidak semua orang ingin huidup hanya dengan mendapat bantuan semata-mata. Saya sangat yakin semua orang berkeinginan untuk hidup senang atas usaha mereka sendiri dan oleh itu mereka ingin berusaha dengan mencari pekerjaan atau membuat perniagaan.

Apa yang menjadi perhatian saya adalah seringkali kita mendengar masalah pengangguran ini berlaku kerana para pencari kerja TERLALU memilih. Tapi adakah kita melihat atas sebab kenapa mereka TERLALU memilih?

Kita ketepikan peluang pekerjaan di Jabatan-Jabatan Kerajaan, yang ingin saya sentuh di sini ialah peluang pekerjaan di sector swasta. Sepanjang pengalaman saya yang pernah bekerja di sector swasta dan juga dari pengalaman kawan-kawan saya, memang benar ramai yang TIDAK tahan untuk bekerja KERANA:-
1. gaji rendah,
2. masa rehat dalam SATU minggu TIDAK ADA langsung atau TIDAK melebihi 24 jam,
3. gaji lambat keluar,
4. TIDAK ada bayaran gaji bagi mereka yang kerja LEBIH MASA.

Saya berpendapat, GAJI serta MASA bekerja ini perlu menjadi perhatian pihak kerajaan. Saya sangat berharap pihak kerajaan akan mengenakan SYARAT atau GARIS PANDU kepada sector swasta agar mereka TIDAK menggunakan 100% kuasa mereka untuk menetapkan GAJI serta MASA BEKERJA. Saya sangat kecewa dengan beberapa sector swasta yang menggunakan kuasa mereka untuk menindas para pekerja mereka secara TIDAK LANGSUNG.

Perhatian dari pihak kerajaan mengenai hal ini pasti akan dihargai dari pelbagai pihak terutama rakyat yang bekerja di swasta, bagi mereka yang mencari peluang pekerjaan di sektor swasta terutama bagi mereka yang tberkelulusan rendah.

Perubahan yang sedikit akan membawa kepada perubahan yang besar.

Di bawah ini saya salin semula satu artikel dari akhbar yang saya terima dari kawan di seberang laut. Kisah ini adalah mengenai seorang pemain bola professional FABRICE MUAMBA yang diserang panyakit jantung semasa dalam (tengah-tengah dia) bermain bola, iaitu FA Cup semi-final antara Tottenham Hotspurs dan Bolton.

Tujuan saya ialah supaya kitani yang mengendalikan sukan (apa saja jenis sukan) sentiasa berawas-awas.

BOLTON STAR GOT BEST POSSIBLE MEDICAL CARE:
WHITE HART LANE was well equipped to deal with saturday’s incident: both clubs (Spurs & Bolton) had a doctor on the bench. They were both wearing earpieces allowing them to communicate with touchline so equipment could be asked for quickly.

AN ADDITIONAL DOCTOR WAS IN THE STADIUM, PRIMARILY TO LOOK AFTER PROBLEMS WITH THE CROWD : both clubs’s physios were trained in resuscitation, as were three others from Spur’s medical team.

TE\WO PARAMEDICS WERE PITCHSIDE : There were two ambulances for the exclusive use of the players, one from St John and the other one paid for privately by Tottenham.

THE TOTTENHAM DOCTOR CARRIED A SECOND DEFIBRILLATOR IN HI BAG IN CASE THERE WAS PROBLEM WITH THE FIRST : as well as the mandatory medical equipment, Spurs had on hand an additional resuscitation equipment

Wasalam, squirell

Diharapkan kepada yang berkenaan agar jangan cuai, dengan strategi baru dengan memasukkan hutang orang lain dan memasukkan ke bil orang lain agar tidak kedapatan. ‘Kalau paham bisai’. Janganlah memberi alasan yang tidak munasabah seperti memberitahu kita tidak membayar elektrik dua-tiga bulan yang lepas, walhal diri ini tidak pernah overdue atau berhutang dengan bil-bil sebegini.

Hi everyone. Sorry in advanced for the short rant but I need a place to vent about a certain issue.

Everyone in Brunei should have encountered “poklen” who likes to blast tasteless music from their vehicles. Usually those with the smallest cars are the loudest, as if to compensate for something.

The worst happened recently, when somebody was blasting all day and night at the flats where I live from their car. It’s bad enough we have to face this in commercial areas, but in residential areas? This is driving me insane and is really stressful when all I hear is the bass going off non-stop when I want is a peaceful evening. I really don’t know how to react to this as people just advise me to get over it but it really annoys me that there are people this inconsiderate in our so-called abode of peace.

Salam,

13.3.2012- Jam 2:00ptg, mulih ku dari skulah kan ke kadai ku dulu singgah membali makanan. Kan menuju ke kadai, nda semana-mana ada kerita ani keluar tarus taim ku ampir lapastu tarus ya lagi mengambil jalan kanan. Panjang hon ku atu, tarus-tarus ya mengambil kekanan bah. Tau sudah kerita laju, mun ya laju keluar inda apa. Ani lambat ya lagi. Mengambil ku jalan kiri teliat ku ia mengangkati tangan. Sekalinya di buntutinya ku dari belakang menuju ke kadai tampat ku aga ani. Sampai ku di kadai, ku liat dibelakang ku ani ada ya masih urang ani nda tah ku jadi turun. Rupanya di intainya ku, kan membali makanan pun nda ku jadi tahan saja. Dalam ati ku, kalau ku balik kerumah tau tia jua rumah ku, lagi bahaya. Ku bawa tah ya bejalan-jalan sampai kan ke Bandar bah ia mengintai kediaku. Ada jua kan 15min perjalanan kami atu, baik jua urang atu `give up`. Ku toleh kiri kanan belakang, nada ya lagi mengintai.

Apa yang menyedihkan lagi, urang yang mengintai ani urg kitani laki bini dan yang lakinya ani betupi aji. Pengajaran kepada semua pembaca, kalau ada urang mengintai biskita JANGAN beranti sampai urang mengintai atu nada lagi mengintai dan jua kalau kan beranti jua, bawa saja ke balai pulis yang berhampiran. Baik jua ku membaca berita urang me hon kana intai lapastu kana tumbuk atu. Aku hairan mengapa ada urang kitani yang macamani di hon marah lapastu di intai. Dimanakah sifat urang-urang kitani yang hormat-menghormati sesama. Kalau sudah diri atu salah kana hon paham-paham saja, diri atu salah. Ani sudahtah salah marah lagi lapastu mengintai lagi.

Hormati urang lain dan patuhi undang-undang jalan raya.

According to a friend who was there, the parents already inform the nurses that the child temperature was high but the response that they receive was rudeness. It seemed to them high temperature in the emergency is not considered as life threatening that is why they give it a low priority.

Years ago I suffered the same treatment of being ignored when I took my child to the emergency when his temperature reached 40. 10 minutes after I dropped my child and my wife to my horror no one attended to them even though my spouse had already inform them of his condition. Fortunately for us we wrapped his whole body in a wet towel and luckily “inda sampai memalak” unlike the sweet child. And fortunately for me I know one of the nurses who upon seeing and hearing my child’s problem immediately took action.

Ever since that incident I never took my child to the emergency section unless someone I know is on shift. I did report this matter to one of the Senior Officer at the Ministry of Health but until now I did nor receive any feedback.

Why carelessness and negligence is still occurred? The answer is very simple. They said the worst that can happen is that they will be transferred to another less demanding section and DEFINITELY will not be sacked! And at the end of the year they will still receive their bonus.

IF the MOH, I mean a big IF, is really going to investigate they might be horrified, as a human, do discover the high number of incidences of negligence that have been happening in hospitals and medical centres and the cover ups that followed

All I can say good luck to us all.

Everybody would agree that home is where we could take our rest and feel safe after a hard day’s work. We can even have a comfortable and sound sleep without any disturbances and wake up next morning with freshness. But that it is not the case anymore as far as I am concerned.

I had this harrowing experience recently which gives concrete evidence to this terrifying incident. An intruder has trespassed into our home and entered the maid’s room with the help of the maid. It occurred just after midnight when we were fast asleep. Somehow we heard a sound as if someone has opened our gate. From my bedroom I can see someone ( a man) walking around our house. I wouldn’t dare to go out of my bedroom to look for him because I was thinking of our safety at home. Frightened and shocked, I immediately called the police so that the culprit was apprehended.

The police came soon afterwards but to my surprise, the person was with the maid in the maid’s room. No wonder the maid was the one helping him all the way to enable him met the maid. I thought a burglar came in but I was wrong. He was handcuffed and interrogated.

What makes me really disappointed is that I might not be able to get justice I deserved at the end even though I have written my statement in the police station including the maid’s and the culprit’s. Explanation was given to me that since nothing has been broken and it was not a forced entry and moreover it was the maid who invited him at the first place, therefore it was difficult for me to have fair trial in the court. The fact of the matter is that we never gave our permission to the maid to invite someone to our home (even worst into the maid’s room). The other odd thing about this incident is that it happened at odd hours i.e. at wee hours in the morning NOT during the day. The crucial question I want to ask is “What is really the intention of the culprit coming to our home during those odd hours? ” Don’t tell me that trespassing is not a crime. I would say it is a crime. Even from our Islamic laws, it stipulates that when two muslims of opposite gender and not blood related (bukan muhrim) are in close contact, they have committed a crime (khalwat). Thus if our laws or acts are not comprehensive enough, the relevant authorities have to look into this issue seriously for the safety of all Bruneians not only my family so that our home is still a safe place to live in as before.

Saya ingin bertanya, bilakah permohonan kami akan diperkenankan? Sudah hampir 3 tahun kami menunggu. Kami sangat berharap akan diperkenankan.
