nice.....no letter from govern? what kind of job u apply/filled in when u submit the form?

my lecturer told me it is best if non-bumi get jpa offer...
coz non-bumi have higher possibility didnt get called bac

u didnt get called back to work for the government but are u supposed to pay the debt??? pay back the money that u got from the scholarship??

i think u should......i'm also got scholar from JPA....but still until now, govt didn't call me for the job at the govt. sector....the best is u don't have to pay back because it is scholar....hehehehe...FYI i'm from Engineering background...so, in govt. sector so little post for engineer...as a conclusion, it's depend on you...that's ur future....i hope u get the right choice whether want it or not....gud luck to u....

they didnt call u back, or they couldnt call u back?

hehe...

I'm working in factory

Work for the Gahmen is not a bad choice actually, free study sumore!

oh forgot to mention this:

although working with the gvment have low basic salary, it's the perks that gets u by.

i. u have various types of non-taxable allowances. u get allowances for home (around RM170 - RM900), for spouse and kids, critical field and many more. non-taxable!

ii. yearly bonus. not much, but it's guaranteed.

iii. free medical.

iv. extremely low interest rate for housing/car loans.

v. it's extremely hard to get fired. they will always give u several options (if u really suck at ur job): 3 months notice to quit; or u voluntarily letak jawatan; or u transfer urself to another department, school, ministry or even another state; or they will demote u.

vi. ultimately: breakfast at 8.00am, brunch at 10.30, lunch at 1pm and tea at 3.30pm. mengalahkan hobbit...

LMAO............If one wants to have a simple life, this is a great choice.

You're right. Simple life is the word to describe for government servants

i agree with the perks. but i think the govt workers now will find it not so easy to curi tulang. esp those working in putrajaya. cos my mom works there and i know they're not supposed to be found eating at the cafe after 8am. the most they can do is bungkus and eat in the office's 'bilik makan'. that oso not evryone can eat all at once cos they dont want any dept to be completely empty. and, definitely no brunch, tea whatsoever. if they wanna go out to the bank, clinic, etc, they'll need ur superior's permission 1st. it's quite strict there la..but i'm not sure bout govt offices in KL or other states. mayb not so strict as putrajaya i guess...

well, i suppose i should also mention the annual "exams" that each gvment worker needs to take nowadays. yes, we have freakin assessments baby! if u're not into self-improvement of any sort, u'll find ur salary becomes stagnant with no increments, no bonus and minimal perks. simple life? well if u dont like exams, dont join.

hmm....i think juz putrajaya is so strict only...
coz when go to government office and looking for someone, they alwawys say en XXX or pn XXX sedang makan, they should b back soon....

u mean those SSM system? exam that need to write X000 words essay and so on?

the government's test need to write xooo words essay ??
i heard my aunt told me the exam ask stupid question like who what document u need to prepare if wana apply loan n who to refer....izzit the same?

In my oipion you should take it. it's true that the possibilty of getting call to work for the government is very very low. I hope you can provide us more details about the field of study they are offering since that is the main factor that determine whether the call you or not

im taking it lor..... i oso hope that someone will get me the info for applying job ( offered by government for JPA students )

I graduated with a state government scholarship
looking forward to work with gotverment ler
I write in to them asked if can be positioned in any goverment agency
instead of offering me a job
they released my bond lar

my point is, don't worry so much about working for the goverment
you want also they wont necessary let you in
nowadays goverment position so HOT ok
they work 5 days week
got increment and bonus
plus all kinds of benefits -- housing, education, clothing
not to mention they "free-style" working environment
