i've gone thru DPA long ago.

actually, we all are under one service.
from KSN > KPPA > KSUs/KPs > SUBs/Pengarahs and so on..
the diplomats/ambassadors are just one of the jobs under Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
other Ministries also has officers on attachment to other countries depending on their sector and jobs..

there's always someone holier than thou....

congrats to all who passed.
hopefully u will be a valuable asset to the nation.

and to those who failed, dont give up, try again.
it might not be ur time yet..

good luck to all of you who are chosen to be a PTD.
u hv been chosen to serve rakyat, do not for once take it for granted.

well to me, in my dept now, that is total BS.
u work hard, knowledgeable, then boss will sayang u.

but office politics will always be anywhere, just dont mention it as "the biggest and most important asset u need".
its like u are asking them to be a PBB person.
i think u should say to be careful of a PBB person in the office.

for ptd cadet, i heard its rm2,027 all in.

double post

every fresh start is difficult. u just hv to make sacrifices.
i hv a friend whose salary was nearly 15k, but when he joined ptd, that dropped to around 3k, but he had to make adjustments
even now after 9 years in service, his salary only reached half of it, he is still satisfied as a ptd..

i bet it is.
when i was attending DPA (just like the cadet program), it was one of the best times of my life. mostly the outdoor modules la. hehe..

congrats to those who passed the first hurdle.
the first of many.
good luck and god speed.

maybe we'll meet in PAC.

after PAC becomes overweight? no problem.. haha

budget cuts, yes, maybe.
but sometimes, the PAC clashes with other courses offered in INTAN.
so, maybe no accomodation available, although the dewan or classrooms are available.

well, whatever it is, sacrifices need to be made.
if u really want it, then go.

anyone here got positive result?
