All in all, policy work means write minutes and arrange so-called high level meetings. Book rooms la, set up projectors la, revise that PowerPoint slide for the zillionth times la. So many policy ppl here so u get Aku's idea la. U complain to management , they will tell u that u need to learn the higher level thinking from these meetings. so u keep quiet and learn. By the time u reached 3rd year, you forget how to speak up properly in meetings sia.

You in stat boards lagi jialat. Policy work confirm plus chop is arrange meetings and write minutes. Remember hor, when you write minutes must be in reported speech. No problem for that ah hiang who graduated with 2nd upper. His English must be powerful one. But Aku also find his pride a bit silly. Top ministry? Hmmmm, so he think he executive in top ministry very good hor?
Ha ha... I like your post, very humourous and reflective of the situation in local context.

But I guess being involved in high level meeting is a good start. All the top bosses are gathered there. A newbie starts off as a minion, but must remember to give intelligent comments at every opportunity. Also must take the chance to network and carry... Impress enough of the top bosses, and that's the way up, up, up...
