RBJTimban’s Crib

Now that I have a scroll, and I have been busy preparing papers to apply for a promotion. At the moment I am in DGA32 under the non-graduate teacher service scale. With my first degree I am applying for DGA41 scale. Two weeks ago I prepared two letters, one to be sent to our headquarters in Kuching and another to the Education Ministry in Putrajaya. Both letters are similar. I enclosed copies of my birth certificate, identity card, letter of offer from the varsity, study permit from our ministry, DGA29 appointment letter, DGA29 service confirmation announcement, the scroll and the academic transcript, teachers’ training certificate, and the Certificate of Education. Despite these documents are small and light weight, I ran here and there to photocopy them and ‘chased’ the headmaster to get his signature. It was like chasing after an artist for an autograph!
