30 Dec 2011.A  fateful  date as Aviation Medical Examiners Dr Salleh and Dr Jagdeev discussed the fate of my career as a professional air traffic controller or to return to a normal deskwork a goverment servant.

11am. Syukur,they pronounce me physically & mentally fit .. fulfils the 3rd Class Medical requirements to the aviation industry after the major surgery to my spine.

Now I walk tall with the grade I hold and the licence which gives me the priviledges especially the incentives and ratings allowances dat make all air traffic controllers drive posh cars and carry big stomach.

A colleage advises me not to perform active air traffic control.But I have different opinion as I regard myself a Minang Fireblade.....never giveup!. Why shd I give up, I wanted to do ATC for self satisfaction and not to be an attention seeker.

Comparing the job of ATC and Manager is like  enjoing skiing down the Swiss Alps and a beggar lingering on the streets of New Delhi looking for donors.I  stand for the statement I made for as long as a live.The present Managers are ATC by the jawatan hakiki, but they continue to seek refuge with Regional Department as long as they can , wiling todo anything   like a whore using third class PR as long as they can continue to hang to the position .

                                                                        

I always wanted to be  multi skilled human  and able to perform multi tasking and through my career, I hv done and prove it within the scope of my organition.I had all the live ATC live Ratings, I'd served at  HQ before and for 3 unfortunate years I serve as a Manager at an airport situated in an Opposition Controlled State, taking and deflecting all the flak aim at my No.1 in Putrajaya. I considered myself successful based on the ability to hang on.But personally ,  I hv no patience at all 'melayan' pegawai2 dari M?T or HQ' which I considered low ranking goverment servants but head as big as tyre....lorry tires who wants top class attention.

In Punjab, a friend of mine mention that Punjabis will only sit on a chair and never squat down at the roadside or in the public.Thats the ethics.And I was brought up well and brought up correctly , I couldnt avoid from looking down at these'beggers; who comes to Penang and asked for free transport , free food  (spend from the office peruntukan keraian) and buah tangan,....especially the jeruk buah.I've  never entertained all this request coz I felt, any travelling goverment officer expenses wil be reimburse by the Goverment.So, claim it base on its individual entitlement !

Other managers advised me 'layan supaya ramai kawan'. I am a person who doesnt want frinds from the cheapskate descendent of Pariahs. When I was paralysed for a month and during post surgery era when I need support, my friend who are low graded technician, taxi drivers and common people  came , helped my family and pledge to continue to support me withins their means.They did it with the name of Allah.

                                                                            

Integrity is the words.The social status u hold doesnt count.I  chose friends regardless of status or class but those with high moral values. In 'bahasa' a word to relate this issue is 'akhlak'. Majority of the people who deal and whom I deal with, has problem in practising the  Akhlak yang baik.

Now , like a professional, I only separate aircraft using standard methods and phrases and after I punch out my card, I could care nothing for the Organization.
