AT LAST...THE MOMENT OF TRUTH

At last, the high management have show their true color. After reading the assume KEPPA acceptable negotiation with the high management, their so called new AGREEMENT out from their palace. Many question almost explode in my mind, to enquire from the so called KEPPA, the champion of the non clerical and the clerical. Where is their promise to urge the high management giving us 40% increment, better than NUBE?. Was it because the NUBE receive less, then KEPPA only request a little extra more than what the NUBE get?. Maybe, it is a better strategy, but assuming this is really what the KEPPA fight for...I hope that somebody that asked me to use my sane mind to think about KEPPA achievement...I give you back...a clap for KEPPA have achieved to cheat us all for being the puppet of the puppeteer. Please...I dare those who claimed that KEPPA give us more.. take the agreement.. read it thoroughly..and then take the NUBE agreement..read it..use your clever brain, extract the information, disseminate it, or eat it. I don't want to elaborate more because a close mind are no better like talking to a stone. Therefore, it is better for you all do what I have said before.

Based on the response I have received, thank you to all that give your opinion. It is glad for me to know I am working with human being instead of machine. Any comment toward or against me prove that we all have feeling.

For those in the executive level, sorry for what has happen to you all. But, please understand, to achieve a high level in the company,support the lower level just like what some bank do to their employees.

For those who expect a hot story through this blog, I only speak only the truth, there is no defamation, so don't expect it to be coming from my word. If you want me to swear, as a Muslim, in the name of ALLAH, WALLAHI, WABILLAHI, WATALLAHI. I dare that the high management that is Muslim, post a memo to the workers, swear that what you are doing today are for the benefit of the employees. I dare you.......

FAIR......DEFINITION BY AMBANK

Guys love a beautiful fair lady,
Consumer love to buy from a market that sell thing with fair prices,
Housewives love a husband that being fair between working time and family time,
A country would be in peace should the judge always give a fair verdict,
A teacher loved by their students for being fair to everyone and not being selective,
A politician loved by the people for being fair to everyone,
A welfare department must be fair in distributing to the needy,
A poligamist should be fair to each of his wife, and they would be loved for being fair,
BUT....

In Ambank

The workers are not being loved by the management,
There's no bonus for them,
There's no increment for them,
There's no adjustment for them,
There's no promotion for them,
There's no place for them,

JUST BECAUSE....

Their KPI are fair........

INDEPENDENCE......THE SADDEST WORD

This month on the 31st of August 2008, mark the 51st anniversary of our country, Malaysia, celebrates the independence day. A day which means that Malaysian, could run their lives without any interference from any outsider, a day that we can make our decision, as long it does not contradict with the law.

But, after all this year, for the staff of Ambank, does it really important for them to celebrate this day?. It does not reflect their lives, which daily work routine that was done without hesitation , every hard work done without jeorpadizing the lifestyle of their higher management daily life, every hard work done only benefitted the higher ranking, whom are being awarded with trophies and awards, higher salaries and bonus payment by neglecting the lower income staff, denying their rights using KPI, only to mask the chess player, whom does not care to sacrifice their soldier just to get what they want, not using their brain but still claiming that they are the one who make it all the greatness happen.

For an independence spirit to be felt by the staff of Ambank, the motto of the owner " Together we can do anything", must be well use by the company. It certainly being use now at the moment, by the great Azmi Mahmod, "The Chess Player". Even after Project M1, he is still here, in Ambank, working out his scheme, "take it for yourselves, let the lower people suffer, we can get others to work with us, the market are big, the sources are many". The motto by the owner used instead of mentioned he changes, "Together, you can all work for me, let me get more, and for you all, a salary should sufficient for you, should you die, it does not matter for me, I can take others, and they would be put to silence as I have done to you all. The law is with me, I know the law, I am the law. And for you to remember me as the most powerful in Ambank, this is my word "AMBANK MAAA"...........and by this we should remember the guy that claimed like he own the company....Azmi Mahmood

BENEFIT....TAKEN TO BENEFIT OTHERS

Most of us own a vehicle or maybe more, either motorcycle or cars, or anything else that consume gas to enable it to move. Let make it short, assuming that you own a car, and you want to go somewhere in the city or you are planning to do a long distance journey. What would you do to make your car go faster?. Simple, push your gas paddle so that your car would move faster, and push it more to go faster than before. Simple, isn't?.

Why am I giving this type of example?. It is because, some of us does not want to understand the simple law of life. Therefore, a simple example for them to understand, and for us to elaborate.

Imagine, your car is a company, and the engine is the staff. Your destination, is the company goals to achieve. To reach your destination faster, more gas should be feed to the engine. In other word, to reach the company goals, staff should be given something more to benefit them, and by doing so it would benefit you to.

It has been proven that a company that give sufficient benefit to their staff, work hard to achieve their company target. It is just a simple math, you give more,you earn more. How do you expect a car to move but you don't want to feed it, instead spend your money to others in doing so, you expect them to push your cars, uphill and downhill to reach your destination. It can be done, for a while until they demand more payment for their job, and you have to pay your price because your stubbornness to feed your car with gas, which would cost you little rather than paying others.

I know one bank, Public Bank, which give their staff sufficient benefit, which may cost them something but in return, the staff work hard for their company and you would see how many achievement or rewards they received because the staff are working hard together, because they know, each hard work they do would be recognized by their employer, not by the salary alone, but by many benefit given by the company.

I also know one bank, Ambank (M) Berhad, which would retract any benefit from their staff, should the law permit them to, therefore they would gain more, and would cost them less. These are the bank which the high management does not want to know their staff misery, instead pushing them to do more work and less benefit. These are the bank which hide behind the law, stepping on their staff just to get a little push upward. These are the bank, with their smile in the newspaper, receiving achievement award ignoring their hard working staff just to recognize a few.

How do you expect for someone to work hard, just to be ignore in the end. Just like a malay proverb " lembu punya susu, sapi dapat nama", or in this case " lembu punya susu, unta dapat nama".

Do you know why and how they can do all of this? Simple, Ambank Maaaa

Ambank maaa......

I remember what my mother told me when I said that I am going to work with Arab Malaysian Bank Berhad. She said to me how proud she was that I would work with someone who are well known likes to take care of others in need. She said that this man always help the needy, orphan, welfare of others and many more.

Well, I could not disagree with her more. When I joined Arab Malaysian Bank Berhad, the benefit of the staff are well taken care. Although it is not 100% like what my mother predicted, but almost all the staff are satisfied with the way they are taken care of. Benefit of the staff, any dissastifaction are well taken care by the management.

However, all of this have change since they change their name to Ambank (M) Berhad. But,what the difference, you might ask? Well, the difference is, the management of Arab Malaysian Finance Berhad are the main player in the company taking over the management of Arab Malaysian Bank Berhad. Then there are two division of staff created, ex-Arab Malaysian Bank and ex- Arab Malaysian Finance. At first, the benefit of the ex-Ambank staff are maintained, without being disturbed by the management. and the ex-Amfinance staff follow their ways. Then, came the bad news especially to the ex-Arab Malaysian Bank clerical. Ambank (M) Berhad have created a union, KEPPA for the clerical and the non clerical, boasting that this are to help their staff to achieve more than other union namely NUBE. But, a pig is always a pig, if you slaughter it the way muslim does for the animals the want to eat, it will be always a pig. Muslim still cannot eat it because it is haram. This is what happen in Ambank (M) Berhad, how can you say that a union that is created by the management, sponsored by the management, arranged by the management, and all activities signed by the management only to be fill up with guinea pig to run the show to make it colorful by some clerical, are going to protect the benefit of the staff?. Day by day, one by one, benefit that should be enjoyed by the staff are taken away, rebranded and redesign to suit the management needs. Medical benefit, bonuses, dental claims, overtime and the list would go on. Some ex-Arab Malaysian Finance staff said that they did not need NUBE because they can survive without outside union. But, I know most of them make a part time job after office hours, and some can no more be seen working Ambank. Can survive? Ptuih....

Staff performance based of the KPI given by the Head of Department. Should the staff concern have a bad track record previously, they would use it to deny the staff concerned bonus payment, salary increment or adjustment. If the staff managed to improve themselves, they would still use the previous performance to evaluate the staff. Why ?..I don't know.. What is KPI should you asked?. It is a way used the higher management to deny profit sharing to their staff, instead, they use it to increase their income, bonuses, allowance, misc allowance and extra allowance, inconvenience allowance or many more should they want to create a new criteria of allowances.

Still, after all this, without any feeling, they still want all their staff to do sales, happily and joyfully. Bullshit...How can you ask someone to clean your dishes, but to give them a small piece of chicken that you have eaten. I saw many of my friends working with other bank become much better than the rest of us in Ambank. They even asked me,what happen to Ambank since their benefit before are no better than Arab Malaysian Bank Berhad previously. And you know the answer I gave to them?....Ambank Maaaa

Some people may ask, if you can't stand working in that place, why don't you work at somewhere else? Easy said than done.....With my age, current economies of our countries, dependancies of foreign workers by the Malaysian companies...well you do the math. But still, some of us are waiting for any chances to jump the ship. Many have succeed, and many are going to.

There may some other workers from other company said that their company are much worst than Ambank. Well, say it here and don't just hide it in your heart. I have been hide it for so long that my blood pressure have gone up since.

I am sorry mother, the man that you said like to help others does not concern about his lower staff. He only trust his direct subordinates who misused the magic wand and change the beauty of a pond to a pile of toxic waste.

I am sorry mother, I cannot fulfill my promise to give my whole heartedly to work in this bank since they have my change my heart into stone.

I am sorry mother, my wife and children does not deserve this treatment. They deserve more, not only because I am the sole provider of the family but they are Malaysian who live in Malaysia and trust their country law would protect them from any injustice. Well, the injustice have happen, and nothing have been done because it is done lawfully and legally. But, at what price? Denying their staff benefit, enjoyment of life, robbing their income...etc.

Please....share the pain with us in Ambank ...
One more...Ambank Maaaa
