The 'Tidak Apa' Attitude

Today, I have the opportunity in setting up a slide show in the hospital CME in remembrance of late Dr Tan Bee Hooi.
I reached hospital at 710am, clocked in and went up to the auditorium. I saw a man opening the door to the auditorium. I was happy that at least I can set up the computer and check if the system goes well, just like how i check my GA machine, preparing the emergency drugs everyday before my day start.
I can't find the main switch and there is no computer system around... luckily I brought my Mac. I went to the library to see if the person in charged of the PA system was there... met the librarian, he told me at 730am the person in charged will come... I looked at my watch, it was 735am!
OK... the speaker came... fellow colleagues and other medical staffs turned up... but there was still no sign of the PA guy... it was 745am...
The hall was almost full... still there was no sign of the PA guy... no computer, projector was not on...
810am... I can't wait any more but offer my Mac, but no point cause the main switch for over head projector and microphone was not on... 815am... the PA guy turned up with the lap top... without a single word of sorry... just showing his 'tidak apa' attitude...

Hello boss, what time is it??!! it is 815am!! and the hospital CME is supposed to start at 8am... you are the support team person in charged of the PA system, you are supposed to come at least 30mins before audiences turn up!!! Is this the way you suppose to work??!!

Mind you... your tidak apa attitude will cause you dearly if everyone is behaving like this... imagine you are the critical ill patient and we doctors have the tidak apa attitude, how do you like it?? or your loved one is seeking treatment and waiting for doctors to come, do you want this to happen to you??!! No right?? So, PLEASE don't behave like you are the boss... one day you will taste the medicine...

Just like the Saturday allowance for doctors who run OT, the Health Minister already announced the 80RM/hr claims for MO and 200RM/hr for Specialist... but when we submit the call claims, the office in charged will say, no statement of that to allow doctors to make such claims...

Sigh... the so called system...
