FYI,
I don't see that the only way to contribute to nation is just by working in the public sector, more esp. if the position is of lower rank/ bottom level of the hierarchy... what difference can that make to the nation? A little, but not much.
Everyone think like you, who is gonna do the silly/stupid job? I don't see that the only way to contribute to nation is just by working in the public sector, more esp. if the position is of lower rank/ bottom level of the hierarchy... what difference can that make to the nation? A little, but not much.
I think what people should learn is to fit into the society and make it better place.
Rather than judging one another and try to outdo one another based on scales/expectation other set upon you; become stressed and unhappy.
I personally can't find a right scale to size everyone up. But, I do enjoy working with people who are honest, and enjoys what they are doing.
Generally happy vibes.

Bloated civil service
Friday, 3 Feb 2017
High amount of taxpayers money is used to pay salaries and pensions of govt staff
FINALLY Malaysia has a superlative – we are the country with the largest civil service relative to our population in the world.
To hear such frank remarks from Second Finance Minister Datuk Johari Abdul Ghani is eye-opening.
So how big is the Malaysian civil service? We have a total of 1.6 million civil servants – that is one government servant to service 19.37 Malaysians. For comparison, the proportion of civil servants to the national population in other countries is 1 to 71.4 people in Singa-pore, 1:110 in Indonesia, 1:50 in Korea, 1:108 in China, 1:28 in Japan, 1:84 in Russia and 1:118 in Britain.
The bloated civil service has caused government expenditure to increase yearly, leading to the escalating drop in revenue. Already 80% of the Federal Government’s annual budget goes towards operating expenditure and a large chunk of this is to pay for salaries and pensions.

There are many valuable experience and skills that the private sector can teach to the ones working in public sector, which is why there's this gov policy to "corporatize" and privatize public services.
The real problem now is the increase for our national expenses is not proportional to our GDP growth. By right, every dollar national expenses must have certain 5-8% annualised return average.
Public/Government Sector is equally important as corporate sector. Which is more important is moot. One can't exist without another.
If you travel/read enough, you will see my point.
To make it easy to illustrate my point, if Mr. Lee decide to take a path of Mr. Kuok, will Singapore be Singapore today?
What Mr. Lee left behind is a resilient nation where business can flourish. Instead of being a Mr. Kuok alike himself, he produced more Mr. Kuok alike.
You lived your high life too long that you forgot what's struggles like.

Btw,
I don't see this as doing good for the nation.
Malaysia is very "poor" now, laden with huge debt coz of the previous gov. IMO, it's more effective to start own biz & pay more corporate tax to gov, rather than to join the civil service and increase gov expenditure. Just a different POV, not that joining civil service is a sin, but looking at the current circumstance, which one can truly mean well for the nation?
PH has cabinet of talent. All of them could be whoever they wanna be; but they chosed differently.
Like I mentioned before, it's not for everyone. It's not just brain. It needs conscience & courage.
People like that, how do you put $$$ on their head?
Malaysia in our early years were doing pretty well. Wouldn't say great governance. But not bad.
Past decade has come to a critical point; and it's good to know there are good people that would do the right thing. Last election has proved that.
With last GOV, it's better to evade tax via CSR where every dollar is put into it's exact use. When you can build a proper facilities with 1/3 of it price.
Now, I don't mind doing either one. With previous gov, that would be a bottomless pit. What changes you made with ur more corporate tax? NOTHING.
