MACC vacancies

Wow...17,000 people applying for only 43 vacancies in Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). I am very surprised..but i suppose i shouldnt be as times are bad and nothing is more secure than a govt. job at this point in time

I too initially thought applying for a post in MACC. Not so much because such a job is secure (my current job is well-paying, with excellent benefits and govt-related too. I sometimes think my co should be given the "Employer of the Year" accolade) but because i believe in MACC's objectives and wanted to play my part in fighting corruption. Perhaps it is too early to say if MACC will be any different from its predecessor ACA. But as I told a friend, if they are truly able to stay to its objectives of fighting corruption impartially, then I may even take huge paycut to join them if need be. Working for a noble and just cause

Will give them a year or two to see how effective they are ....
