SLOTHS ! Why do we hire so many sloths to work in the government sectors ?? What the fuck is wrong with these people ???

Went to collect my MyKad today… and guess what ? I met a sloth. No no… many sloths. But there’s only 1 particular sloth that actually peeved me. The rest peeved the others.

I was in this queue, you see… and I had to stand there for more than 20 minutes – just because the sloth’s computer locked up. Guess how she confronted her problem ? She smiled at the screen and talked to herself. And when the queue got longer and crowd getting impatient, she would talk to herself louder “lambat lar… apa ni … lambat lar…”. Yeah fuck…of course it’s lambat… that’s because it had stopped responding, dipshit.

She would continue the same pattern for the next 5 minutes, until her porcine colleague came over to ask her reset the goddamn computer. She then lit up like a light bulb, and jovially dived under her desk to press that reset button (like she’s gonna get stock options for doing that) and waited for it to reboot.

Sure enough it finally rebooted, came the login screen. Sloth then typed her login ID but it didn’t work. She tried and tried again with the same ID/password… probably hoping that the computer’s gonna be forgiving enough to let it through… but of course it didn’t. She then turned over to blimp colleague and told her that her login’s fucked. Pig had her own problems to worry about and asked her to figure herself.

Ok, let’s pause here. If you were to be in that sloth’s situation, what would you do next ?

a) Ditch your post, and run to the nearest IT admin to call for help.
b) Ditch your post, and walk to the nearest IT admin to call for help.
c) Pick up the telephone, and CALL the nearest IT admin for help.
d) Sit around, look at the screen and hope that your login ID will get through magically.

That sloth picked D. No shit.

It took her another 5 more fucking minutes before she figured out that she needed to call someone. And that was only because a few blokes there were getting really riled up with the delay… and was about to shout “PUKI AYAM LU !” at her …

But that sloth was sure lucky… somehow after a couple of her cross office phone calls, she managed to get her ID to work. (probably her IT admin unlocked it for her).

*sigh* Vision 2020, it’s blurred.

    Heh, heh! Nothing new ler. Happens at JPJ, JPN, KWSP, LHDN – and all other abbrev you can think of. Start work at 830am and can’t wait for break at 10am. Returns to work at 11am and can’t wait for lunch at 1230pm. Comes back at 2pm and can’t wait to go for tea at 3pm. Returns at 4pm and they’ll take half an hour to switch off their PCs, getting ready to go home.

    No need to mention la. Our Streamyx isn’t doing too good as well. Problem is with these company they never actually listened to the customer. Why? Because they freaking monopolized the market. Just can’t wait for PenangFON to come around and let them sweat in their pants…

    most post offices have this ready made sign “Maaf, komputer tergendala” or something like that… once, i went to this post office during lunch time, and out of 5 counters, 3 computers “tergendala”, and one clark even demonstrated how the 4th computer “tergendala” – the stood up, displayed the sign, and walked out of the office holding her purse… hmmmm.

    p/s: i collected my MyKad yesterday also :P

    oh…same exact stuffs (ie land office, post office)… damn!!! in fact the whole government sector.. at times i wonder…will Brunei ever survice without its oil? sigh

  11. michaelooi says:

    primrose – Yeah. I recalled some episode I had when I was there to apply for that MyKad. Everyone was like suddenly disappeared … all gone to minum kopi.

    rootified – Awwwwwww…thanks !

    Jase – Sloths… they hired too many sloths.

    zbjernak – Errr… I think you miscued, dude. National day’s over. Go back to work.

    ahmog – Do you think sloths will evolve into some industrious creature in a century’s time ? I don’t think so.

    elphine – When their brain’s not working, everything will be tergendala.

    goldnugget – No. Maybe the more appropriate thing to ask would be “You ni … bodoh ke ?”

    ST – Everyone… bow to the tiger. *bow*

    oliviasy – Couldn’t agree more… I can imagine when the scientists dig up our fossils in a couple hundred thousand year’s time … they’d be so baffled with the population of sloths in our government offices…

    tyra – I guess this must be a government thing. A prerequisite of running a country – hire a lot of sloths.

    The existence of the civil service is slowing down the pace of human evolution. Otherwise dumb people would starve and die faster, culling genes out of the M’sian gene pool. (just kidding! Evidently dumb people are abundant in the corporate sector too, based on Mike’s blog.)

  17. hokkien lang says:

    yeah i agree
    no wonder they want MSC bring it to nation wide…
    you know… Many Sloth Crossing… not multi….

  18. 100 says:

    sloth is a special species that only capable of exisiting in the well-protected environment, 2020 ka 3030 ka, they will still exist because our government’s existence depends on the sloth.

    Anything related to the GOV. is fucked…i pray hard nothing happens to my ID, license…(passport no choice, expires so…) my mykad chip wasnt working, and had to go back..my god…

    i once witnessed a “datin” screaming her lungs out at the officer…she was really pissed…and the officer showed no sign of feeling guilty of causing the frustration over her attitude. – why i know she was a datin? well, that’s because she was “you tau aku ni siapa? kurang ajar kamu ni, lambat aje! i apa hal penting, appointment lagi! tuuuunggu aje!!”and heard the senior officer who came to “serve” her apologizing “sorry ya datin”

    not making any point..just wanna share it…hehe..but the conclusion…GOV officers are just fucked up…any GOV staff reading this? i hope so…
