The certificate of life


As it is compulsary, I went for an award giving ceremony, the VIP who gave the opening speech talked about the increasing cost of life. Bla bla bla babble babble babble inclusively or I'd rather say exclusively regarding how the government have spent so much money on assuring the jails in Malaysia is good enough catering all the criminals and the best part was he mentioned that the inmates are 60% foreigners. I'm not sure which part of the speech is related with yesterdays' ceremony but then summarizing all he said we as proffesionals should reduce the cost for everything to help the government easen the burden and in order to do so, we should reduce our expenses on going to 'irrelavent' courses. The so call irrelavent courses include management courses and other courses that I myself is not clear which course is relavent and which is not! We don 't need certificate and formal training to make us capable, that is what he mentioned.
But...... back to what happen in real life...
Situation one:
"Camana nak bagi you kompom jawatan.. pi kursus pun malas"
Situation two:
"Boss kenapa I cannot be considered for the promotion. Kenapa dia dapat pulak dapat kenaikan, kitorang punya kelayakan sama aper.."
"Oh yes, regarding that, he is more qualified because he had undergone the ..... course, I know you are as good but still the cert tu orang top management nak tengok.."
Eventhough I just made up the situations above, but still that is what happen in the real life today. We are being pressure to keep our life simple but yet we are being judged by the number of certs that we have. So where's actually our value?
