What do PTD officers do and which department are they put in? Are they like some kind of high ranking agents?

I heard a friend said the test is so tough, what makes it more tough is the objective questions. You get asked eg. which of the following are part of Jabatan XYZ, I. II. III. IV (a) I only (b) II and IV. LOL. Who is so tuned with these stuff since leaving high school for decades. Even Math Questions resurfacing, like Nombor Perdana, Gandaan Sepunya Terkecil or Terbesar. etc.

If you left civil, can you rejoin?

Yeah, the PTD exam is quite tough, got a lot of stages.
Online exam is the first, then physical and also public speaking if not mistaken.
Then if shortlisted, go for interview pulak.

Being PTD officer it gives you chances to become KSU (Ketua Setiausaha), Director General (Ketua Pengarah), District Officer (DO) and Setiausaha Kerajaan Negeri.

PTD Assesments Centre involves physical test (Ujian Kecergasan Jasmani Kebangsaan-UKJK), public speaking, discussion, etc.

After u passed the interview, u need to go for 10 months course which includes army module.

2.4km run is no more.

Ooh.. no more run..
Good to know. That's where many failed 😥

JPA scholar here, nearing the 1-year-no-job-offer and suddenly got the email to do PTD exam. It’s irrelevant to the course I took in the UK. I regret coming back to Malaysia because job prospects overseas are better. In Malaysia, I see many uneducated civil servants in my field of interest and it’ll be too hard to change their attitude because they are not passionate enough. I got myself into NGOs and organisations closely related to the government which is how I got to see a little. There’s a job opening in state government and I submitted my application. They haven’t even looked at it and it has been months. I regret returning to Malaysia.

Note: No Malaysian private sector has the kind of job I want, unless you’re talking about developed countries like UK and US where they privatise and commercialise humanities sector, with its own set of problems but still, better than Malaysia.

I know what you mean. This was exactly my sentiment 10 years ago. I was here for a year, and only got panggilan to do the exam after I already got an offer to do my phd. Now while I mostly agree with you I want to ask you to at least consider it and keep an open mind. My friends who became PTD in 2009, are now high up in various sectors, in various fields, and none of them are confined to gomen work. They kept their integrity and high spirit and most have come out pretty well. Not everyone in gomen is as bad as you think While it may not be related to your course, give it a try anyway because you might find that you'll enjoy it or that you're good at it. Plus the job market is not great, and a PTD job is actually a good deal all things considered.

pm me if you wanna talk more.

Goodluck for tomorrow exam including me

Beep test is harder IMO

wow sounds pretty crazy

Ahh yes. That too 😁

seems like there's repeat online exam for those candidate failed to login previously.
and best part. the question is the same with the first one.

bravo SPA. Soalan Bocor... best ever. 100% success

Hi, may I know is there any BM essay exam for PTD? Because I did not write in BM for 5 years. I not sure how am I going to pass BM essay exam if there is.

Nowadays exam is online...
No more written test.

So No essay.. ABCD click here & there only...

anyone pass the exam?

yes. UKJK on 7th.

Thanks! Besides, why is my UKJK at 8 July haha. Everyone different?

Congratulations...
U going second level...

The ukjk depending on the state u registered in SPA...
U got where??

yeah, different dates and different venues. you'll get any date between 7th to 10th at one of the locations you stated as your pusat ujian in SPA. there's also several locations within one pusat ujian (e.g within putrajaya there's at least 4 locations). i got lucky that mine is on sunday, no need to get cuti.

regarding the essay part, if you pass the UKJK the next round is PAC (not sure what it stands for) which is essentially public speaking and essays in both BM and english. they use a scoring system so if you fail one part just need to make it up in others. don't worry lah. 5 years is not that long.

good luck!
