Working for a very, very rich bully

comments     TigerTalk     Published     Updated

KINIBIZ Tiger gives a taste of what it’s like to work for a government agency that pays well, handles over a hundred billion ringgit a year but can sometimes be a big bully. Dig in for more.

Who says you can’t find a well-paying job in government? You absolutely can if, like Tiger, you know exactly where to look.

Mind, Tiger’s definition doesn’t include quasi-governmental agencies like the Performance Management and Delivery Unit (Pemandu), Agensi Inovasi Malaysia (AIM), Land Transport Commission (Spad) or TalentCorp.

Employees at those snazzy outfits under the Prime Minister’s Department are paid top ringgit, matching private sector wages. They also get to call themselves ‘consultants’ and be all action around regular civil servants.

But as contract workers they miss out on the medical benefits, lifetime pension and job security Malaysia’s civil servants have come to expect. Don’t worry; they get compensated for not having those perks in cold hard, present value cash.

Whether you’re just starting out or a couple of years into your career, Tiger’s got a place for you. Just make sure you know your way around numbers.
