Ok. just want to help., because i have been into this before.

For the start there will be exam that u just take. It more about iQ test and quick thinking.

Then if i remember correctly.  U will be conducted to 1 week interview (like the apperentice). this the hard part. U will be tested with public speaking both bm and malay for 5-10 minutes. debate. involvement in group. group member  will be different everyday. running 2.5 km in 12 minutes. etc.

After that if i am not mistaken 1 year training  and get another diploma (public admin). and a post interview.

This job is for who can speak well, charismatic, beautiful and handsame. must look good in coat. It's for future leader in u. IF u have what it takes. It's a training for diplomat, ambassador, DO and high ranking official. U must can tell a lie and look good at the same time.

In short, the best job in the governmet.         
How far can u go? Our PM is a PTD        . and he is in islamic studies. what u hold is not important. its what u are.
P.s : I failed on the 1 week
That's why i think the job is for certain personality. 

thank u so much, number8... u intrvw kt mana?

I am not sure but does it mean if your opinion somehow differed from theirs, you won't attain the job even if you are eligible for the position?

The panel's looking for character. Dun worry too much about facts, but U must at least know basic things (Rukunegara, Negaraku, etc). & U must be aware of the current important events. Read the news everyday for at least 2 months before the interview, watch the news on TV, especially the RTM1 programme Bersama Menteri & forums on current issues.

The thing is, once U pass the exam, U've got to be prepared. U must set Ur mind that PTD is what U want to be. That means Ur preparations must be geared towards achieving that. Dun apply just for suka2, U'll be putting "pasir dlm periuk nasi org lain" (as the former UDPA director used to say it).

I went for the exam June 2005, PAC in August 2005, interview in November 2005, failed.  Then June this year I was called for another interview, passed, went for PTD Unggul (orientation for new PTDs) in Intim July this year, now I'm in the Treasury (or MOF) as Penolong Setiausaha. Syukur.... after 5 years in the private sector, now I get to serve my country...
