shirley, this year JPA have opened the biggest number of scholarships for non-bumi, up to 45%. how can u say it's bumi only?

ofcourse, if u only look at salary, it's nothing to brag about.

but then there's the family allowances, house allowances, not to mention extremely low car and house interest rates, free medical for the entire family, bonus every year and so on. so people usually dont mind being bonded for the first 5-6 years of their working life bcoz they can use the low interest rates to establish themselves and settle down. there's also free training programme for government staffs which u can take while u're there. this will increase ur credibility and resume. even if u do masters in IPTA, u will take cuti belajar, and the year u spent will still be counted in the bond.

for example, i'm bonded for 5 years for my masters that starts the day i graduated (2004). a year after that i started my PhD. so now i'm in the third year. after i finish hopefully next year, i'll be bonded for 7 years for PhD, but at the same time i've already finished my masters contract.

me?
