nivota — Wed, 14 Jul 2021 12:19:31 +0800

As per title above, currently I am truly fed up with everything in Malaysia and it is my plan to move abroad before I'm getting less immigration points because of my age goes up.

Would like to obtain advice from everyone how would be your strategy like (and whether if you have succeeded in doing that) in terms of looking for overseas job opportunities in places like HK, China, SG or Europe.

Currently because of my firm is a pure local firm, it can be only rely on LinkedIn for me to look for jobs abroad, hence appreciate for any advice and tips you can share.

Malaysians working in London / UK

nivota — Mon, 24 Jul 2017 02:32:40 +0800

Hi everyone, I have just graduated last year, went back home and now back to London, just wondering if there is anyone in this forum who can drop by say hi here and may be we have a meet up some day?

This is one of the old thread but seems doesnt really related now due to changes in immigration rules:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/376571

Given the strengthen of immigration rules (thanks to Theresa May and Tories), it is very very very hard to get employer visa sponsorship now, perhaps anyone can share with their experiences on it as well?

Sick and tired of malaysians

nivota — Fri, 16 Dec 2016 19:41:57 +0800

Saw so many cases of people walk in to bank branch want to disable their paywave feature in the past few momths, why la malaysians so kiasu and afraid about it?!?! I been using Contactless feature in UK all this while and its fantastic and great experience...

Somemore there are always some stupid retirees and people who always dont wanna use ATM to withdraw their money, RM10 also wanna go counter, causing counter to jam up then blame the bank for slow service, eh hello if you want fast buat la kat ATM...FD auto rollover every month but still wanna come to bank update passbook every month as if takut bank tipu their money, comeon the bank dont bother about your money even if it reach 1-2mil la...

Why la Malaysians so sick so afraid to embrace to new technology? If continue like this i'' pretty sure one day we will left out from the globalisation race...

/k HR ppl come in

nivota — Sat, 17 Sep 2016 01:10:56 +0800

as the title suggest, are the HR ppl or recruiter or hiring manager nowadays wanna listen an interview candidate to talk about idealistic and optimistic, very positive stuff such as the person is very motivated for the job all the sweet talking stuff
where as at the end of the day is just another 9-5 job?
if in that case why they still wanna listen to candidates talk until so optimistic about themselves and what they hope to achieve in the company?
just shut up and start working will do isn't it?

feel like so fake, creating lies after lies in front of the interviewer whereas i just need a job and i realised that it is a very normal 9-5 job in MNC

Any /k working in O&G sector?

nivota — Tue, 13 Sep 2016 01:06:57 +0800

Saw a thread https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4053827 where TS getting 60k in O&G sector with some risk involved, decided not to tumpang thread and start one here

actually, what are the risk of working offshore? pirates? leakage or explosion something like that?
and my another question is, is it possible for a law graduate who is not in O&G sector venture into it? main reason of course is $$$, but i do understand the fact that high risk high return

appreciate /k can enlighten me here...thanks

Have you tried Visa Paywave?

nivota — Thu, 01 Sep 2016 17:25:56 +0800

went to McD this morning and found that a lot of people still prefer to use cash
and there are a few people looking at me like discovered something new when I use my Visa Paywave
I think Malaysians should open up themselves and embrace new technology even more
Visa Contactless is so common in Europe & UK when I was there

What are your concerns of not using it? apart from security?

oh by the way if you use Visa Paywave in McD you can get free frozen coke if you spent >RM10. Enjoice!

Feeling unfair for Azizulhasni Awang

nivota — Fri, 26 Aug 2016 08:21:58 +0800

Look at all the sponsorships, gifts our olympic athletics got since they come back to Malaysia
it doesn't in line with our 1Malaysia spirit, as all the sponsorship goes to our badminton players only

If you talk about medal - fine, but Azizul trained hard and compete hard for his bronze as well, does bronze mean nothing nowadays?

Too bad i'm not running business, otherwise I would have give him some recognition, kesian dia

just my 2 cents. from a chinese.

What do you think of DLP?

nivota — Sun, 27 Mar 2016 13:58:32 +0800

saw one of the thread in /k so thought of looking at /k response here
FYI DLP stands for Dual Language Programme by MOE
currently status unknown, if anyone have the update please share it here

for me, as a Malaysian currently at London, i'm supporting it
there are lots of Malaysians here, and we are at a very competitive level, almost on par with Singaporeans because we speak good english
and we need to maintain that - in line with current declining English standard back in malaysia
apart from that, DLP ensure us to stay competitive with Singapore and stay ahead of other ASEAN countries

what do /k think? constructive opinion only please, no vroom reply. Thanks

What do you think of your company HR nowadays?

nivota — Thu, 03 Mar 2016 22:02:06 +0800

heard some senior figures mention that HR last time used to a strong and strict department,
will stand up for workers if they get bullied by their boss, but nowadays most of the company HR dont have a clear way of doing things, do things in a messy way, no proper protocol, blindly follow SOP....What do you think?

Moving closer

nivota — Wed, 24 Feb 2016 08:13:24 +0800

So I'm a guy currently at UK
there is a girl that i didn't realise her existence back in the college days due to i'm the hi and bye type of people back then
and erm i started developing feelings for her
i feel for her uniquely distinguished character among all her friends,
while all of them having laughs and having stupid jokes,
she just sit down there quietly and will laugh if the joke is real funny
and she will just keep quiet and let people have their fun if they're talking anything about her
i just like that character so much
she distinguished herself in a way but maintaining the close friendship with them,
so the problem is there
they are in a form of 'squad' or 'gang' or any other term you wish to use
and unfortunately i'm not part of it
just occasionally have meals with them and sit with them together in class
i tried hard to become part of them
but it seems like they aren't willing to accept me
based on the fact that they have their own whatsapp chat group (and not adding me into it)
so some how because of that, i missed out most of their events except lectures and meals after lecture
any thoughts? mind you this is not /k

#tldr:
started developing feelings on a girl but find hard to mix myself into her own gang of friends

Getting Work at Foreign Countries

nivota — Mon, 23 Nov 2015 07:07:19 +0800

as our politician always tell us "you tak suka you keluar", so as a fresh graduate, hereby I would humbly request information or tips or guidance from all the lowyat forummers who is currently working abroad,

"how do I make my first step?"

I'm currently looking and starting to apply for all kinds of internship and working opportunities for fresh grad, am I taking the right step?

it would be great for all the forummers who currrently working at UK, Canada, Australia or other countries can share their experience.

Thanks.

The Malaysian Mentality

nivota — Fri, 26 Jun 2015 10:21:38 +0800

Regardless whether in the office or out of office, most of the time when there is a conflict/argue/disagreement kind of situation happening, we are often have the Malaysian Mentality which can be represented by the few terms below:

"tak apa lah"
"tak kisah"
"nevermind"

and more, everyone got a different term in their mind when they face a tension situation.

This kind of mentality is actually one of the factor causing Malaysia current situation, and this kind of mentality is not in anyway helping Malaysia to advance.

Malaysians should adapt the complain culture, regardless of anything happen. Always Complain, Complain, and Complain. Bring pressure to the authorities, bring pressure to everyone. So that rules will change, things will advance.
You may think that this make us look ugly, but you cannot disregard the fact that HK and SG people have the always complain mentality actually help them reduce administrative bureaucracy and eventually make process smoother

When can Malaysians change? Take away this kind of so sicking Tak Apa Attitude?
