A Malaysian civil servant who works in a different territory
than his/her own (e.g someone from Peninsular Malaysia who works in Sabah or
Sarawak) is entitled to free travel back to his ‘territory of origin’ once a
year. It is sort of an incentive to encourage people to work in Sabah or Sarawak
and vice versa.
I submitted my form last week (I think) and hopefully it
will be processed before the 18th of this month as that is the date
that I have chosen to travel back to KL. Aimir said that usually there is no
problem with getting the so called free tickets home. However the speed with
which it is done can sometimes be rather slow (no surprises there). The bottle
neck is getting the authorization, after that they can me those tickets rather
quickly. I hope he’s correct in these regards as I have absolutely no backup
plan whatsoever. If worse comes to worse and I can’t go home for this year’s
Hari Raya celebrations, I’ll just sit quietly in my flat and cry...
I bought a new pair of shoes! Hari Raya is coming up but
that is not the reason. Because Hari Raya is coming up, Parkson’s is having a
Grand Sale where some items get up to 70% discounts! That’s one of the reasons.
The other one is because after my puddle of mud incident, I don’t have any
casual shoes to wear for things like travelling and going on dates.
SenQ, where I got my iPad was also having Hari Raya sales
and I finally bought an induction cooker after months (literally) of
deliberating. It comes with a 'free' stainless steel pot. However, despite having also bought chicken, onions, and oyster
sauce I realised when I got home that I forgot the cooking oil! Meh, cooking
will have to wait.
