The motto of the Civil Service should be "On Leave".

Every time I visit the lovable jobsworths to follow up on a matter one of them was supposed to be in charge of, his colleagues would say he's on leave.

Invariably, each and every one of these civil servants would use their All-purpose Multi-purpose "Get Out of Jail" card to facilitate his playing dead on top of being useless.

Unlike those of you who may get rather worked up by the one of the most valuable cards to shirk work, I find the style of the brothers and sistas rather creative and even charming.

Imagine you've got a job and responsibilities but you are on permanent paid holiday. Where else but Bolehland would you find such blessing as the dead taking care of the almost-dead, Alhamdullilah!

Those worshipping the Ketu Diety and eating the Ketu Diet often go bananas at the nons for being "ungrateful" while putting up with Bolehland. Not me! I've got respect!

I am learning to respect sheer laziness, warped understanding of responsibility, duty, professionalism, self-respect... so help me dear Big Woman up the Sky, Ameen..!
