cakap cakap..then and now

Salam to all,

When I was with Telecoms way back in the sixties, there was this last 'orang putih' officer by the name of Mr. Thomson. Whenever he visited any communication switch room to inspect or discuss any issues of the day, his either hands will be feeling for something somewhere in that room. He can't even tolerate dust sitting on shelves, tables or anywhere. If his fingers get dirtied by some dust, you bet, whomever was on duty will get a good sounding. "Your house can be whatever you like it to be, but in this switch room I don't want even a speck of dust because DUST will impede the quality of communication, understand? Now go get some cloth and clean them now!!". He will stand there and watch you do the clean-up. Dust is a big deal for this white man, because he owes the public a good service, and mind you, all local calls then are FOC, yet he did not compromise in giving the best service possible. How I wish the attitude of our govt servants mirrored that of the 'orang putih'.
