Part 2 - Primary School Registration

Here we go again.

Today we went to JPWPKL at Jalan Duta. Dgn harapan yg tinggi, semoga dapat la my son transfer to the school which is nearer to my home.

After our morning hassle, we reached our destination at 11.00am. Got our queue number and waited. The lady officer in charge (Officer#1) was attending a chinese gentleman who wants to register his son/ daughter to government school. I noticed that the gentleman was not well verse in Bahasa. And then came another lady officer (Officer#2) and burst out a rude question, she asked which country did the gentleman receive his formal education. The gentleman answered in Malaysia. Dgn nada yg sombong, she told him that if he was schooling in Malaysia, he should understand what is written in that paper.

I cant believe what i just heard, unbelievable! Come on lady, you are a government officer. Kerajaan dok sibuk terapkan everyone to amalkan nilai2 yg murni. What happened here langsung tak murni. Plus you are a muslim! We were taught to respect other people, tak kira bangsa, agama or darjat. Malu malu.

Then it was our turn. I prayed that Officer#2 will not be there to attend us. But to our dismay, she was there. Blahhhh. So, we apply for a transfer but Officer#1 told us to wait till next year if we wanted to transfer. We then tried to our luck how we can get it done immediately. Officer#1 told us, we have wait next year, if there's a place, a transfer would be possible. But as for now, my son need to attend the appointed school. And to make things worst, Officer#2 told us, even if your house is just beside the school, you wont get a transfer if the school quota is full.

Oh my, now i'm very doubtful about how the allocation are being made. Do we have to be a VIP to get to a prefered school? I mean i am applying for a transfer simply because it's nearer.

Dengan tangan yang kosong kami pulang kehampaan. Oh well, we believe there's a rainbow after a rain, right (ayat nak sedapkan hati). All we need to do is relax and wait next year.

Since i'm not satisfied with what Officer#2 had just said to us, i lodged a complain thru JPWPKL's portal. Typical me but hey, we have our rights, right?
