berhati-hati di jalan raya jangan langgar belakang
May 23rd
Today, i received my accident investigation outcome. Verdict: Me not Guilty, Tanker Driver Guilty kerna melanggar belakang…
Walau bagaimanapun aku masih menjadi mangsa dan terpaksa berulang alik balai polis trafik. Kali ni jer dah 4 kali. Nanti isnin kena gi lagi sekali untuk bayaran RM12.00 salinan outcome investigation. Then aku hantar kereta gi KIA, sebab tak nak guna bengkel biasa. Lagipun repair cost akan claim insuran tanker tu so aku tak kena bayar sesen pun. Cuma sakit hati, susah payah aku uruskan hal accident ni dan masa yang terbuang jer tak boleh dibayar.
Pengajarannya bila terlibat dengan accident:
- Bertenang.
- Sebaik sahaja kena langgar, berhenti di tempat yang selamat.
- Catat no. plet kenderaan yang langgar tu dan dapatkan jenis kenderaan. Kalau boleh warna sekali. Nama pemilik/driver optional. Just in case, tengok road tax dia idup lagi ke tak dan padankan no pada road tax dan no plat. Kes aku, aku siap amik gambar lagi. Cuma muka driver tu jer aku tak amik
- Jangan ’settle’ tepi. Kereta aku lampu pecah jer dah RM400++, so korang ingat driver tu ada RM400 nak kasi time tuu. Jangan bimbang undang-undang jalanraya di Malaysia sudah cukup untuk melindungi Hak Anda!
- Report immediately. Kalau jadi ahli rakan COP lagi bagus. Boleh dapatkan alamat balai terdekat menerusi SMS. Simpan no. telefon Balai Polis kawasan yang berdekatan dengan rumah dan laluan ke tempat kerja. Aku dapat nasihat daripada Polis IPD Kajang lepas berlaku eksiden sbb aku terus call sebaik shj keluar daripada kawasan highway tempat aku kena langgar.
- Dimana nak report? Ok call balai polis dan check balai trafik mana kena buat report.
- Cara Report: Cerita lah kat pegawai/pen. pegawai (biasanya sarjan) dan seterusnya gambar kenderaan akan diambil.
- Keputusan akan dikeluarkan dalam masa 14 hari. Kes aku, pemilik tanker tu salah dan dia kena la bayar max. RM300.00 kepada Kerajaan Malaysia
- Lepas report, boleh terus bawa ke bengkel yang ada kemudahan tuntutan insuran/takaful kemalangan.
- Kalau orang yang langgar, so claim lah atas insurans orang itu, jangan settlekan guna accident claim drive through check, atau yang minor claim coz nanti yearly contribution akan ’spike’ naik.
Berhati-hati di Jalan Raya, Utamakan Keselamatan
Learning the chain of command
May 17th
Chain of command what?!
The chain of command often can be described as the hierarchical structures of authority. It is widely used in the military and adopted in the art of managing organizations. Simply put, it comes into context when there is a need to achieve a certain goal and the task that transpired from the objectives are delegated to a lower level of authority. It is where instructions, permissions, responsibilities are piped down the hierarchy and it is the duty of the lowest unit in the hierarchy to carry out the task and report to the authority above.
To survive the curse of chain of command
In betweeners – like me usually got stuck in the failure of lower units. In the current public service administration, accountability usually stops at the middle level and at the endpoint, slackers usually left to walk free unscathed. Middle level had the option to either absorb or deflect the negative vibe. Well, what i just learned – Trump style, slackers can also be dragged and charged in the boardroom. I will not take the HEAT especially when it is not my fault.
On KPI
Key Performance Indicator is a welcomed approach. Performance can be measured and separates complacent beings from the high flyers. I remembered a good saying, (i dont remember the person who said this) Do your job or be replaced… coz there a lot of other jobless people who desperately need the job.
Snippets of May Activity
entry lewat
May 3rd
Picking up Bad habit
Back from the induction course, i struggled to get back in track to my fitness regime. 3 times per week at the gym doesn’t seem enough to cater the big appetite i picked up during the 14 days course.
Dragged Down
The last 3 weeks were hectic. Back home at average 7-8pm. Broke my dinner rules and had to attend various activities outside office the morning after. Went to Putrajaya back and forth (MAPPA10, PRISMA UGM, Seminar Personnel ICT and not to forget drop off SLA), plus Dapat office for the mySMS briefing. Had to be at office for 2 consecutive saturdays, and still a lot of deskjob tak siap. Arahan dah dikeluarkan to visit Galeria Perdana again tapi tak tahu laa jadi pergi ke tak.. asik terpaksa kensel jer sejak bulan lepas.
Mn website is project is testing my patience. It is a pressure cooker holding a lot of steam. Asal teringat jer macam nak sepak jer somebody. It should be an easy task coz i successfully did manage similar projects. Humans of course is the main obstacle, people management and communications play the key roles.
Harrassed by PRISMA alerts, plus received emails form GCert and MyCert.. thanks but im trying hard to solve the issue. I hate legacy – end of line products. Damn proprietary softwares…
New Skills
I’m reading the bsd manual now, and a few paper on OAI. One of my colleagues is promoted and there will be an empty post at office. ICTSO is moving out and we have to be ready (at will) in case any incidents broke out again. Continuous improvement is a must. To date, im still waiting for my xserve box to arrive (naik bosan dah tunggu -kes biasa lerr). Last week dah siap compile and read all the required docs.
Renewing Pledge
Going to gym is an escapade. Previous years saw me attending tkd classes to de-stress. Still missing the club but gym is the easy quick-win i can attain.
Looking forward to aerokickbox/bodycombat again.. and of course to support my friend – syahrul’s BodyJam. Maknanya kena balik sharp 5.30pm again.
Will be driving back to KL today. Last Friday i drove for nearly 4 hours. The highway was filled with cars. Keeping my finger crossed for today’s safe journey. Long day tomorrow…
