Thanks !

Hello,
is there a recommended or minimum period for the duration of the internship?
Thanks!
Tony,
You were elected by the people of PJU. Since your victory, you have not really gone down to the ground to serve your people of PJU.
You will lose your seat come the next GE.
YB, this is the way to go. Select the best and most suitable for training to be prospective candidates to stand for election.
Ensure good communication skills, especially in Bahasa Malaysia, besides other languages.
Some are good in research but not in PR skills. They are necessary too.
Good luck in your selection!
Anon Billy Ch'ng,
24/7 !!
waaa vely good stlategic initiatives.. cheap, cheap labour!
Poor timing, most college students have already accepted other offers.
Tony
Don't let up on those Mindef guys who said "tidak tepat" to the $8 billion contract to DRBHICOM for utility tanks.
It may well be that part of it is a "friendly" gift to DRB to cover the cost of the tanks AND the entire plant set up and research & development capex cost as well!!
More than that, it may include a billion or two loan or advance payment as in the fraudulent PSC Naval Dockyard contract for Amin Shah!
Or it could also include a huge licence fee to a foreign country/party and " not a commission but co-ordination and support fees" loaded upfront for DRB as per the $500 million for Razak Baginda and Perimekar S/B in the scorpene subs
DAP must not rest until Mindef and the Govt gives a detailed account for the entire $8 billion budget!!
It may not be too late to stop a potential massive fraud like PSC and PKFZ!!

I think this is a brilliant idea and I am extremely interested...unluckily I'm studying in Singapore now so it won't be possible to go for it. I hope this programme will still be around in a few years' time, when I'll be back in Malaysia.
If I may make a suggestion, the applications for these sort of things should be opened a little earlier, before things like college terms begin...by now most students are already studying somewhere with not much free time, leaving only the post pre-u people free perhaps.
Also, how long is the duration of the programme? A few months, a few weeks?
Thank you and keep up with the fresh ideas,
Nicholas.
great idea but be careful for any trojan horses planted there.. a saiful maybe? :)
