Government to axe hundreds of 'unnecessary' websites

2010-06-25T20:26:00.000-07:00

How about Brunei? Most government websites are not standardized.

The UK government is to conduct a review of all 820 of its websites, Cabinet Minister Francis Maude has announced.

A report by the Central Office of Information has revealed that the government spent £94m on website development and running costs and £32m on web staff in 2009 - 2010.

The UK Trade and Investment website averaged 28,000 users per month but cost over £4m to build said the COI.

Each site visitor cost the government £11.78 according to the figures.

Around 16% of government departments did not know how their own websites were being used by tax payers, and almost a quarter were not aware of the running costs, according to the COI report.

In 2007 the BBC reported that the government was to axe 551 websites, protecting 26 from closure.

"Only 24 sites have been reported as closed and more sites have since been discovered and so the present total number of government websites is 820," said Francis Maude.

"The days of 'vanity' sites are over. It is not good enough to have websites which do not deliver the high quality services which people expect and deserve."

Mr Maude will be working with Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander and Digital Champion Martha Lane Fox on the review.

In a statement the government also cited "anecdotal evidence" of departments bidding against each other for search terms on Google.

The most cost efficient government websites included that of the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs which cost 2p per visit, Revenue and Customs at 11p and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport at 5p per visit.

The NHS website averaged over 6m users per month. It reported non-staff costs to date of over £21m not including £5m spent on "marketing and customer relations" in 2009.

'Putting services online is not only more efficient, but often it is cheaper as well," said Tessa Jowell, Labour MP and former cabinet office minister.

"The measures announced today run the risk of being a wholly false economy, and may end up costing the Government more money than it is looking to save," she said.

"In the last two years, the Labour Government already reviewed 1,795 websites, of which more than 1,000 have already been closed," added Ms Jowell.

The BBC's technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones said the initiative was an attempt to get a grip on the "spiralling" costs of websites.

He added: "What will be difficult is to push ahead with the process of putting more government services online while still cutting the costs of sites."

First Cybercrime Conviction In Brunei

2010-05-05T19:33:00.000-07:00

Jail Sentence For Filipino National

Bandar Seri Begawan - Brunei's court dealt with its first cybercrime offence Tuesday (May 4), which saw a Filipino national convicted and sentenced.

The Commercial Crime Investigation Division of the Royal Brunei Police Force yesterday said 29-year-old Raymond G Azarcon, was brought before the Magistrate's Court on May 4 under the charges of hacking into a wireless Internet connection without authorisation and using a stolen credit card number to make $2,720 worth of online purchases.

According to a Royal Brunei Police Force press statement, early last month, Azarcon, who lived next door to his landlord's house, hacked into a wireless Internet connection that was owned by his landlord without his knowledge and authority.

Once inside his landlord's system, Azarcon visited a web site and "intentionally cheated the owner of the web site by falsely representing himself in which he used a stolen credit card number to make an online purchase and thereby dishonestly inducing the owner (of the web site) to approve the online purchase worth $2,720".

His illegal online shopping spree began to arouse suspicion by April 8 when the web site owner noticed that Alarcon continued to make more online purchases with the same credit card number and same username, which subsequently made him lodge a police report on April 12.

On Tuesday, Azarcon was read his charges in court for committing an offence punishable under Section 6(1)(a) of the Computer Misuse Act and under Section 420 of the Penal Code.

He was found guilty and sentenced to six months' imprisonment for his first offence and received a further 22.5 months' jail term for his illegal credit card misadventure, which will be served out concurrently.

"The general trend of cybercrime is on the rise," acknowledged officers of the Commercial Crime Investigation Division, adding: "this case is one of the examples how hackers intruded into someone's private property by tapping into their wireless connection and exposing him to wrongful allegations, thus causing an innocent person distress and unnecessary inconvenience".

They also advised Internet users: "Use some encryption on data and use of password authentication to access the Internet. Also changing the administrator's password for one's router is very important because certain brands of routers have certain default passwords that hackers know very well."

The RBPF's cybercrime division used the opportunity, to urge the public to lodge reports upon discovery of any suspicious transactions or any activities related to the misuse or hacking of Internet access and any other cybercrime-related offences.-- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin

Brunei is 63rd in the ICT Readiness Index

Brunei 63rd in ICT Readiness Index

Brunei is 63rd in the ICT Readiness Index. And that is out of 133, just manage to scrape off the bottom of the top half!! Are we supposed to be proud of it or what?? That’s how the Bulletin put it on 27th March 2010. For comparison, Switzerland 1st, Singapore 2nd, and Malaysia 27th, still above Brunei. With so much wealth per population or per area of country, is 63rd supposed to be flattering?? We might have good execuses for not doing well in sports, but I don’t think so when it comes to education and modernisation. Is our group of think-tank aware of this??

Investment In IT To Power Brunei Ahead

2010-03-07T19:42:00.000-08:00

His Majesty the Sultan and Yang DiPertuan of Brunei Darussalam

Sultans Commonwealth Day message

Bandar Seri Begawan - His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam lauded the ideals of the Commonwealth and its contribution to overall international development.

His Majesty said this in a message to mark the Commonwealth Day today. The theme this year is "Science, Technology and Society".

"Brunei Darussalam has committed itself to this ideal. It underpins our work to diversify our economy. It is why we are making a considerable investment in information technology (IT). It inspires us in our efforts to provide the highest possible levels of education and health. It forms a major part of our long-term development plan," said His Majesty.

"It is also why we welcome the opportunity that membership of the Commonwealth offers us all to work together in these crucial tasks and to share expertise, resources and experience.

"Brunei Darussalam will continue to do this in the spirit of international goodwill and cooperation that this great organisation has constantly maintained and we send our very best wishes to all our fellow members," added His Majesty.

Earlier in His Majesty's message, the monarch said, "Brunei Darussalam deeply values its membership of the Commonwealth. We admire the richness and diversity of its history. We respect the principles it stands for. We enjoy the friendship and goodwill it arouses among nations from every continent, every faith and every background. We share its common purpose.

"Above all, however, we recognise the Commonwealth's fine contribution to overall international development. "The relevance of that contribution to the long-term needs of the two billion people it represents is implicit in the theme for Commonwealth Day 2010.

"Science Technology and Society. "Worldwide, governments face new and far-reaching challenges in health, education and social security.

"Their people see the power of modern science and the unparalleled influence on their lives of modern technology. They are often deeply anxious about apparent changes to their natural, economic and social environments. There are inevitably times when they fear for the stability of the absolute values that hold their societies together.

"We therefore warmly commend the importance placed by Commonwealth Heads of Government on enabling all people everywhere to learn, understand and appreciate the remarkable advances being made in science and technology.

"We support all efforts being made to ensure that these forces will help to shape an international environment in which the citizens of every member country can look to the future with confidence," His Majesty said.-- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin

AiTi to develop plan to up broadband service

2010-01-27T07:55:00.000-08:00

THE Authority for Info-communications Technology Industry of Brunei Darussalam (AiTi) has enlisted foreign consultants Analysys Mason Limited for the development of a Broadband Strategic Plan to address public concerns about current broadband services in the country. AiTi Assistant Chief Executive of Corporate Strategy Julianah Hj Ali Ahmad revealed this information to The Brunei Times on the sidelines of a signing agreement between AiTi and Analysys Mason Limited yesterday.

"Broadband here has been a big talk in Brunei. The current broadband service in Brunei is a problem because it does not meet what customers want. So that is why we have engaged these consultants to see what best suits requirements of users in Brunei," she said.

Julianah added that the consultants will be looking into addressing the quality of broadband services in Brunei, such as what would be the best speeds and technology for Brunei to use. She explained that Brunei has been using copper cables for (ethernet) lines and this has limited capabilities for developing high speeds. "So we have to replace it with fibre-based network as it provides an almost unlimited bandwidth," said Julianah.

However, as fibre-technology is expensive, Julianah said that the consultants had to advise AiTi on how the government could invest in the technology.

"This fibre-technology is something everyone can have access to and is something we have to make sure of," she said.

Analysys Mason Limited Senior Manager Paul Sumner during his presentation explained that the fixed broadband in Brunei was expensive compared to other countries in the region.

"Brunei's broadband can (accommodate) about one megabit per second downstream. For the same price in countries like Singapore and Hong Kong, they can get 30 megabits per second," he said, adding that the consultants will be looking into how to address the expensive price in Brunei.

In order to have a successful broadband policy, Sumner said that a "virtuous circle" was the key in stimulating supply and demand. He added that the consultants would have seven to eight weeks to work on the plan, which will be completed and presented to AiTi on March 17.

According to AiTi, Brunei is heading towards a knowledge-based economy and it is crucial that AiTi has a platform to support access to highly-developed ICT (info-communication technology) infrastructure, including high-capacity broadband networks. "This means building a robust and future-proof infrastructure that is not only widely accessible to each citizen, but also capable of delivering high-speed bandwidth services to each user," according to a press release from AiTi yesterday.

The main outcomes of the strategic plan will include a general review of the existing broadband policy and strategies, quantification of broadband vision and target settings as well as recommendations on the best modalities for investment in the infrastructure build out, and implementation plan for building the next generation broadband infrastructure.

AiTi recognises that over the last few years, Brunei has witnessed a tremendous growth of broadband users and that broadband is becoming important in all aspects of economic and social lives.

On hand to sign the agreement yesterday were AiTi Chief Executive Pg Hj Mohd Zain Pg Hj Abd Razak, AiTi Assistant Chief Executive of Corporate Strategy Julianah Hj Ali Ahmad, Assistant Chief Executive of Corporate Services Hj Jamaludin Hj Saman, Analysys Mason Limited Senior Manager Paul Sumner and Analysys Mason Limited Consultant Emil Arnell.

The signing, which was held at the AiTi office in Anggerek Desa, was also witnessed by Ministry of Communications' Permanent Secretary and Chairman of AiTi, Hj Alaihuddin POKDG Hj Mohd Taha.The Brunei Times

WILL EGNC MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN BRUNEI EGOVERNMENT DEVELOPMENT?

December 22, 2009, 8:10 pm
Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: brunei egovernment egnc

Or will it slow things down?

Have anyone read the EGNC staff complaining on Brudirect/HYS regarding their superior? Thats not good is it. If internal affair cant be sorted out, then, how are they going to invigilate the whole nation’s e-government system implementation?

EGNC is taking control over the hardwares and softwares that goes in into the government. Just few months ago, a company is having problem trying to get quotation for Microsoft Office Products to be supplied for one of the Government’s agencies. Weeks and weeks waited, no quotation were received from vendors. Why ? Because EGNC halted the process. Why? Because theyre not ready yet.

But this particular government department needed this softwares.

Yes I know, but EGNC isincharge now, and theyre telling all vendors to put their hands down.

Why?

I dont know.

So the question is, will EGNC make a difference in the e-government development?

EGNC Official Site

Do you know how far off are we in the e-government? Lets compare with UK. There were 2 phases. The first phase is To Computerize the Government System. They’ve done that already. The second phase is Connecting the Public to the e-Government.

Basically with this system, a British dude will have his personal section on the government system. There contains his personal information such as identity and address etc. On top of that, the system keep tracks of the bristish’s dude health (it’s connect to NHS) so if theres any doctor appointment, the system will notify the British dude. His doctor will also be able to keep in touch with him.

Think of it as, e-Gov 2.0.

Not only that, with this system as well, the British dude can buy his groceries via the system. Im not kidding you.

Now in Brunei, we’re still in the process to computerize the government. There are still departments that is using the paperbased solution. Seriously, Bruneians are way too confortable to be able to move on.

Oh yeah, another thing that ive learnt is that, the egovernment system in UK, is done by ONE COMPANY ONLY. AND ITS ONE HUGE COMPANY. Why is this a factor?

One company that connects all ministry together. All ministries will be running on the same platform. Same based. Easier to connect to one another. Easier to share information. Easier to maintan the system.

In Brunei, shit loads of companies. Different department in the govebrnment, is computerized by different vendors, using different systems and with different platform. For instance, MOE, using Apple Mac, while the rest of the ministries is using Windows platform.

There will always be compatibility issues.

This is just my thoughts. Who knows, maybe there are super geniuses working in EGNC right?

But really, how long have it been =) Want to make a difference? Dont make us wait.

CIO Survival Guide – The Recovery Begins

2009-12-08T19:02:00.000-08:00

If you were a CIO in 2008 and survived 2009, then you have earned your stripes. 2009 felt the full brunt of the economic meltdown
ending the year with double-digit unemployment and new job creation at an all time low.

Putting 2009 aside, what does 2010 hold in store for CIOs? Will it be a year of continued lean budgets and cost controls or a year of gradual recovery and growth?

More than ever, CIOs need to focus on their business savvy, peer relationships and ability to achieve continuous alignment with business strategies and objectives. In addition, it is imperative that CIOs don’t go off on technology quests that may be too controversial or bleeding edge. While having the latest and greatest might give the CIO bragging rights at conferences and such, it does little to impress leadership teams and business unit executives if core needs aren’t being satisfied.

For 2010, CIOs would be wise to keep their technology powder dry, keep the infrastructure solid and focus on providing solutions that are easily traceable to specific enterprise and business unit objectives. Therefore, new project initiatives need to be “rifle-shot” on target and deliverables, spot on. Shorter projects with more frequent deliverables will serve the CIO better than larger, high-risk endeavors. Improving service levels should be first and foremost on CIOs' list of priorities, especially if they have suffered due to cut backs and other recession-related events.

CIO Insight weighed in on the topic in its “CIO priorities for 2010,” a recap of the survey conducted by “The Society for Information Management (SIM)” of CIOs and IT executive leaders. These priorities are as follows:

1. Business Productivity and Cost Reduction
2. IT and Business Alignment
3. Business Agility and Speed to Market
4. Business Process Reengineering
5. IT Cost Reduction
6. IT Reliability and Efficiency
7. IT Strategic Planning
8. Revenue Generating IT Innovation
9. Security and Privacy Maturity
10. CIO as a Member of the Leadership Team

Clearly these priorities reveal the focus is on sticking to basics before branching out into the innovative. To see cost reduction take precedent over revenue growth is quite telling. Disappointing was the sense that it isn’t imperative to have the CIO serve in an enterprise leadership capacity. This suggests that CIOs are still seen as second class citizens and not the peer of CFOs and COOs. In many respects, these top 10 priorities take me back to the mid-1990s in terms of what those surveyed deemed to be important. For me it isn’t so much the items making the list but the sequence and the inherent contradictions in expectations.

Major cyber spy network uncovered

2009-11-29T08:31:00.000-08:00

There is no conclusive evidence of Chinese government involvement

An electronic spy network, based mainly in China, has infiltrated computers from government offices around the world, Canadian researchers say.

They said the network had infiltrated 1,295 computers in 103 countries.

They included computers belonging to foreign ministries and embassies and those linked with the Dalai Lama - Tibet's spiritual leader.

There is no conclusive evidence China's government was behind it, researchers say. Beijing also denied involvement.

The report comes after a 10-month investigation by the Information Warfare Monitor (IWM), which comprises researchers from Ottawa-based think tank SecDev Group and the University of Toronto's Munk Centre for International Studies.

They were acting on a request from the Tibetan spiritual leader's office to check whether the computers of his Tibetan exile network had been infiltrated.

Researchers found that ministries of foreign affairs of Iran, Bangladesh, Latvia, Indonesia, Philippines, Brunei, Barbados and Bhutan appear to had been targeted.

Hacked systems were also discovered in the embassies of India, South Korea, Indonesia, Romania, Cyprus, Malta, Thailand, Taiwan, Portugal, Germany and Pakistan.

Analysts say the attacks are in effect industrial espionage, with hackers showing an interest in the activities of lawmakers and major companies.

Compromised

The researchers said hackers were apparently able to take control of computers belonging to several foreign ministries and embassies across the world using malicious software, or malware.

"We uncovered real-time evidence of malware that had penetrated Tibetan computer systems, extracting sensitive documents from the private office of the Dalai Lama," investigator Greg Walton was quoted by the Associated Press news agency as saying.

They say they believe the system, which they called GhostNet, was focused on governments in Asia.

By installing malware on compromised computers, hackers were able to take control of them to send and receive classified data.

In this case, the software also gave hackers the ability to use audio and video recording devices to monitor the rooms the computers were in. But investigators said they did not know whether or not this element had been used.

According to the New York Times, the spying operation is the largest to have been uncovered in terms of the number of countries affected.

In an abstract for the report entitled The Snooping Dragon: Social Malware Surveillance of the Tibetan Movement - posted on the IWM website - investigators said while such attacks were not new, these particularly stood out for their ability to collect "actionable intelligence for use by the police and security services of a repressive state, with potentially fatal consequences for those exposed".

Definition of a Chief Information Officer in Brunei

2009-11-18T21:44:00.000-08:00

Only a few work as a full time CIO. Many hold other duties other than being appointed as a CIO for a particular ministry. So imagine being a CIO in Brunei, not knowing what to do exactly, implementing projects in 'silos'. Yet blaming the C-Level management of not supporting, budget cuts and so on. The emphasis was and still is, vendor. Nearly all IT projects in Brunei are vendor-driven.

The chief information officer (CIO) is a job title for the board-level head of information technology within an organization. The CIO typically reports to the chief operations officer or the chief executive officer. In military organizations, they report to the commanding officer.

CIO

Chief Information Officer (CIO) is a job title commonly given to the most senior executive in an enterprise responsible for the information technology and computer systems that support enterprise goals. As information technology and systems have become more important, the CIO has come to be viewed in many organizations as a key contributor in formulating strategic goals. Typically, the CIO in a large enterprise delegates technical decisions to employees more familiar with details. Usually, a CIO proposes the information technology needed by an enterprise to achieve its goals and then works within a budget to implement the plan. The CIO role is also sometimes used interchangeably with the chief technology officer role, although they may be slightly different. When both positions are present in an organization, the CIO is generally responsible for processes and practices supporting the flow of information, whereas the CTO is generally responsible for technology infrastructure.

Information technology

The prominence of the CIO position has risen greatly as information technology has become a more important part of business. In some organizations, the CIO may be a member of the executive board of the organization. No specific qualification is typical of CIOs in general. In the past, many have expertise in computer science, software engineering, or information systems, but this is not universal. Increasingly CIOs, especially those from a technical background, hold Master of Business Administration or Master of Science in Management degrees.^[1]. More recently CIOs' leadership capabilities, business acumen and strategic perspectives have taken precedence over technical skills. It is now quite common for CIOs to be appointed from the business side of the organization, especially if they have project management skills.

In recent years governments and government departments have employed CIOs and recruited them from the private sector. The main reason for this is that as government departments have modernized their processes they have made costly IT mistakes and now require highly experienced IT executives to cut the best deals for their organizations.

In 2007 a survey amongst CIOs by CIO magazine in the UK discovered that their top 10 concerns were: people leadership, managing budgets, business alignment, infrastructure refresh, security, compliance, resource management, managing customers, managing change and board politics^[2].

Typically, a CIO is involved with analyzing and reworking existing business processes, with identifying and developing the capability to use new tools, with reshaping the enterprise's physical infrastructure and network access, and with identifying and exploiting the enterprise's knowledge resources. Many CIOs head the enterprise's efforts to integrate the Internet into both its long-term strategy and its immediate business plans.

I heard ia ani puas pulang kana tandang sana sini ni, before EGNC ia ani kana tandang dari JTMSN, before JTMSN kana tandang dari PERUMAHAN. pasal apa tu nah?? pasal inda pandai bekeraja, kan menahan kewangan orang saja kerajanya iatah kana tandang-tandang.

Aku hairan macammana EGNC bleh menerima orang mcm ani. Inda ku paham banarnya. Orang yang memilih ia ani sama ada talo inda pandai menilai orang atau pun kawannya. iatah ganya dapat ku pikirkan tu.

sekian and to all EGNC staff: “WELCOME TO HELL”.

By tia karang on Jul 29, 2009

Di minta semua kakitangan EGNC bangkit dan berganding bahu meluahkan perasaan masing-masing. Perkara ani inda dapat dibiarkan, matlamat kitani untuk MEMAJUKAN EGNC BUKANNYA MEMUNDURKAN EGNC ani. Pasal orang macam ani tah EGNC ani inda dapat begarak.

Kitani pun tau, kebanyakkan kitani kakitangan EGNC ani mempunyai otak-otak yang BERGELIGA dan PINTAR-PINTAR, tapi pasal management yang kucar-kacir dan mementingkan diri sendiri ani tah idea-idea kitani inda dapat begarak. manakan dapat begarak mun idea bisia ganya kan di pakai, walaupun kadang2 idea atu inda MASUK DIAKAL, kakal jua kana pakai.

Kepada pihak atasan yang rasanya tersinggung, minta maahap saja, bukannya niat hati kan menyinggung tapi mun inda di Brudirect ani di mana tah lagi kami kan meluahkan perasaan. Isu ani di ketahui sudah betahun-tahun lamanya tapi management ani membisu saja.

Betahun-tahun sudah kami besabar, tapi IT ani kana anak tirikan selama ani. Masa dapan kami inda pernah diorang pikirkan, yang kana pikirkan orang yang berpangkat-pangkat tinggi sudah. Apa halnya kami ani? bukan manusiakah kami ani? inda layak untuk maju kah?

Sudah pun kenaikan kami kana sekat selama ani, kan menyambung belajar pun kana sekat tia jua, ani hal ehwal kewangan kami lagi inda kana ambil peduli. Apa sudah jadi dengan IT management ani?

Pikirkanlah klu sekiranya nada IT ani macammanakah jenis kehidupan kitani?. cuba bandingkan di zaman batu yang nada telknologi IT, apa jua kemajuan yang diorang perolihi? so hargailah orang-orang IT ani, jangan di anak tirikan.

Last but not least, Jangan Mare Ye, sekadar meluahkan perasahan.. hehe

wow…

To tia karang: Sebenarnya pegawai kewangan ani kana bagi ke EGNC bah ni uleh JTMSN. They see an opportunity to kick him out they take it la. Bukannya EGNC memilih. =D

To mari beramai-ramai: what do u mean bertahun-tahun? EGNC baru 2 tahun jua. So you are talking about JTMSN management sebenarnya. Yes, dulu terasa kana anak-tirikan masa di bawah JTMSN. Paling sedih masa tedgr orang bercerita “IT unit ani inda align sama visi misi MOF” pasal atu tah org IT dulu inda kana pedulikan banar2. Mudahantah ceta atu inda banar.

Kalau nak kutuk, kutuk la nak… tapi jangan sampai salah kutuk tkana orang yang banar2 yang kan memajukan EGNC ani

To kantut mu bebau:

On behalf of tia karang:
Kalau banar tah Pegawai Kewangan ani kana tandang oleh JTMSN. EGNC have rights to say NO. am I right? Ia ganya sorang kah pegawi kewangan di Brunei ani? klu banar tah pegawai atu silahau sesilahau kao ani kenapa tah diterima jua? kalau kao kana suruh makan taie, kao makan tah jua tu taie atu? I guess kao makan tu…

On behalf of Mari Beramai-ramai:
as you said EGNC ani baru 2 tahun. Where the hell do you think most of the management comes from? dari langit? or dari lubang juburmu yang bebau atu? klu sdh old management tunggang langang, what make you think its different now? I guess you are one of them. No wonder….. ask yourself this, how many projects have you done before you naik jadi pegawai tinggi ani? one? two? separuh jalan? or nothing at all? or kao naik pangkat ani pasal ada latar belakang or oleh2 mengampu?.. iatah pasalnya sistem 3K ani bukan saja memundurkan jabatan tapi kerajaan jua as a whole.

Next time do your homework first before “menembak” orang…tekana pulang sebiji nah…apa rasanya? nyamaannnnn??…hahaha

By kantutmu lagi bebau, sebau taie mu on Jul 31, 2009

Kalau dikirakan masaalah pegawai IT inda kana pedulikan batah udah, sejak JTMSN ditubuhkan tahun 1993, inda ada pegawai C3 ke bawah kana luluskan untuk belajar ambil degree. Lapas atu timbul tah pulang pegawai C3 inda dapat naik ke B2 kalau inda ada degree. Apakan tu? Inda kana suruh belajar, naik pangkat inda jua dapat.
Sudah EGNC mengambil alih kunun nasib kana bela. Ada tah harapan kan belajar atau naik pangkat. Sama jua, permohonan belajar ditolak alasan umur limpas 40 tahun, daging liat udah. Labih Udah setahun EGNC ditubuhkan inda jua ada kemajuan. Yang maju ganya mikin banyak pegawai B2 memangku B3 dan pegawai B2 baru yang inda pandai membuat keraja (becakap boleh tahan).
Yang pegawai C3 inda ada kana bagi peluang memangku B2, katah keraja pegawai C3, sama saja dengan B2 inda dapat dibezakan lagi sama rata saja, adilkah tu? Ada pegawai B2 Karang mengambil kesempatan atas kebolihan pegawai C3, disuruh tah pulang membuat keraja teugal-ugal seorang diri alasan pegawai C3 ni banyak pengelaman. Kadang-kadang kana suruh menyapul keraja pegawai B2 yang inda pandai siap-siap. Ganya betanyakan dan mengupdate status projek, semua orang pun boleh buat walaupun inda B2.
Pegawai atasan JPA & SPA tu baik tah suruh programmer memprogram balik sistem otak tu supaya berfikiran logik untuk mengubah scheme tu bebalik, sekurang-kurangnya pegawai C3 ada peluang naik pangkat ke B2 walaupun nada degree, bebaloi jua rasanya membuat keraja tu. Kalau jawatan lain boleh kenapa jawatan IT inda boleh !!!!. Apakan, inda penting bidang IT ni kah? Alert! tah wahai robot-robot kerajaan.

By Daging Liat on Aug 1, 2009

Syabas to orang yang membuka mata dan telinga mengenai isu diatas.

Biar lah semua ani dijadikan iktibar bagi pegawai2 lain agar menjalankan tugas dengan baik.

Kesian pada Orang2 IT yang under EGNC yang belum ada gaji / backdated /elaun memangku, etc sampai masa ani walaupun yang sudah berbulan2 keraja disana. Dorang inda berani bersuara dan hanya mampu bersabar. Perlu jua diketahui dorang ani ada tanggungan dan komitment masing2. Cemana kan membayar kalau nada gaji.

Disini ingin jua memaklumkan The appropriate way to log any complain is to write to Management Services Department, JPM. Insya Allah kitani akan dipeduli. Amin amin ya Rabalalamin.

By Pengajaran & Iktibar on Aug 1, 2009

kantutmu lagi bebau, sebau taie mu:

wah… so it’s a personal attack on me now? emosi jua? kenapa pulang terasa kana tembak when i was only trying to explain the situation honestly?

Do you think it is that straight forward kah to say no? do you even care to think that egnc was given the chance to say no and choose their own peg kew? The answer was NO. ingat shopping online kah ni bulih milih2?

The management now is different from management jtmsn dulu la. If you were ever one of those people on MOF level 3 or 4 dulu then you would appreciate that the current management is trying hard not to follow the same path again. Although I have to admit that it has not been an easy journey so far.

How many projects I’ve done is irrelevant to this discussion but aku pun alum naik pangkat so don’t you even dare to accuse me of mengampu or the 3K stuff mun ganya sekadar kan naik pangkat. I believe strongly in hard work and merit and my colleagues know that.

The point of this post was about the pegawai kewangan but I don’t think it is fair that orang lain pulang tepalit jua. That was my message… if you actually read it.

I know I did my homework. Did u? or did u just started to menampung halfway without ever looking at the bigger picture?

Daging liat, I agree with you tapi kalau kan sambung belajar atu I think syarat dari JPA jua tu kalau inda salah yang 40 thn atu. cuba kita double check arah website durang. and pasal skim jawatan IT atu, yes I agree with you that SPA should assist egnc to update the scheme… FAST.

I also agree with pengajaran & iktibar. aku pun kesian meliat some staffs who I consider as one of my friends udah alum lagi terima for a few months. mudahantah sudah kana complain di sini ani pegawai kewangan atu laju2 memproses gaji durang ani. barutah nampak ia teranah dimejanya. =D

By kana cium rupanya taieku hehe on Aug 1, 2009

bawa berdoa dan bersabar, mudah-mudahan semuanya akan selesai.

By hamba allah on Aug 3, 2009

Banar tu nya daging liat atu, orang-orang IT ani mcm kana nyaya bah, inda tah kana appreciate apa yang kami buat selama ani. Yang kana majukan orang-orang yang B2 keatas yang mostlynya tau becakap inda tau buat keraja ganya, apa halnya orang C3 yang sudah bekeraja bepuluh-puluh tahun ani??

To kana cium rupanya taieku ani:

If you think you are not belong here, GET LOST… or go to some other porno site. you should be ASHAMED of yourself… capi-capi.

By banar tu on Aug 4, 2009

Hahaha… apa yang capi-capinya with the word kantut? I didn’t start using the words t**e and j***r. Maybe you have been visiting too much porn sites yourself since you mentioned it? But yes, really sorry for my ke”capi-capi”an. Oh I am so ashamed of myself. I’ll just stand at the corner now, on the chair. boohoohoo

I do agree with you though but the sad thing about most locals is that they complain for things that they don’t understand and they don’t offer constructive feedbacks on how to solve the problem. And when others try to explain bisai-bisai, marah tia pulang.

No one is perfect. I’m not perfect. But with less negative criticism + heroism and more positive criticism + team effort, I am sure that we all can move forward together. We can only berusaha so much and the rest will be like hamba allah said, bawa berdoa dan bersabar, mudah-mudahan semuanya akan selesai.

Peace.

By Sudahhhhhh.... on Aug 13, 2009

To Astaga, Daging Inda Liat and Sudahhhhhh…. :

Cara becakap tidak professional seolah-olah bukan seperti seorang pegawai yang berkelayakaan serta berhikmah. Saya betul-betul kecewa jika kamu pegawai-pegawai B2/B3.

Tetapi, jika benar kan challange ‘Daging Liat’ sediakan satu projek untuk ia membuat, tetapi System documentation yang lengkap perlu disedia termasuklah system requirement specification, process flow (DFD), Database structure and relationship etc yang seperti sepatutnya disediakan oleh seorang Penganalisa sistem.

Insha Allah dari sana nanti, sama-sama kitai menilai.

By hamba Allah on Aug 13, 2009

To Daging Inda Liat:

Bukan ku marah ganya astaga kan bejumpa tu baik jua untuk menerangkan perkara yang banarnya.

Yang ku heran kau tah pulang ambil hati macam terasa tah pulang.

Kalau kau orang islam patutnya kau faham yang belajar ni inda kira tua, dari buaian sampai ke liang lahat. kau tah pulang pandai kan menghukumkan orang tua inda boleh belajar.

Kalau tah banar kau kan mencabar aku membuat programming baru, mari tah suruh tah ku.

Lurusnya hamba Allah tu, kalau kau seorang penganlisa system yang banar-banar layak sediakan tah dulu system documentationnya (kalau tebuat jua tu) selebihnya sarahkan arah ku.

Baru tah tahu siapa TALOOOO… HANTAP

Bukan ku ambung, ganya kan membuat system development “I don’t need System Analyst”. Yang Lain Sori bukan bidang ku.

By Daging Liat on Aug 14, 2009

Banarrr bah daging liat??? handal toh ehh ko ani hahahaha.. bah esuk ambil burang LDP….lusa ko belayaaaa….hewhewhewhewhew hahahahaha…simpati ku kan ko ani hahahahaha

yanggg mahal antappp tooo ni nahh mau di frame & photokopiii nie hahahaha “Bukan ku ambung, ganya kan membuat system development “I don’t need System Analyst”. Yang Lain Sori bukan bidang ku.”

By Daging Tuha on Aug 17, 2009

Ngam tah sudah tu pengakuan biskita atu. kalau handal system development then saya pasti you will make a very good programmer. Kalau B2 ani bidangnya luas bukan saja develop system, mesti cepat adapt to new situations so takut biskita inda berminat nanti, sayang saja mengisi post B2.

Now that explains everything. Terima kasih atas pengakuan ikhlas biskita. Everyone is happy so we can put a stop on all this things and move on.

By horray on Aug 18, 2009

aduh daging tuha, hantap jua penyeluu mu. kadayan banaa kah kau ani, macam bukan jua bunyinya. hantap jua inda baakal mu. uang lain cakap bisai-bisai kau macam uang gila tah pulang. andangnya wais gila pakah. kalaukan balajaa kadayan wang bah maai tah aku mengajaa indah payah pakai boang LDP.
