Kuarters Kerajaan - Part 1 (Permohonan dan Tawaran)

Ok jom nak cerita pasal my experience mohon kuarters kerajaan. I joined service on Feb 2018 and sebulan lebih lepas lapordiri, terus submit permohonan kt portal SPBPH. First attempt, turn menunggu ialah 2500+ taktahu nak nangis ke nak gelak 😂 Dengar pulak cerita senior-senior ada yg dh berpuluh tahun queue sampai ke sudah tak sampai-sampai turnnya. 

Note : I lapordiri kt Putrajaya, tp terus minta tukar ke KL. So the 'forever-in-queue' utk dapat turn kuarters tu ialah kuarters di KL ya.

Dari 2018 sampai hujung 2020 memang langsung tak follow up tentang kuarters. Sebab takde keperluan mendesak. In between 2018-2020 tu kiranya ada la 4-5 kali I check angka giliran memohon tp bila tgk nombor masih 2500+ gerak tak sampai 100 angka turun, I was like ah biar jelah.. So maksudnya takde follow up call BPH ke, buat surat/email rayuan ke, nothing. Konsep berserah je haha. Ada masa hilang jugak konsep berserah tu sbb nyampah dgn kejiranan kt rumah sewa now tapi takleh nak buat apa la kan. Kisah pulak org SPBPH tu dgn masalah kejiranan kau tu kan kekkkeke. 

Hinggalah kami diuji dgn masalah severe eczema Nouf. 

(Nouf lahir July 2019. Umur dia 6-7bulan, dia kena warded lama jg kt HKL and mind you masa tu dlm zaman first strike of covid. After discharge from hospital, we bear tolls of expenses susu and ubat Nouf yg mahal gila! Mmg we were under HKL for meds tp bila ubat dh habis and appt date lambat lg, we got to buy with our own pocket money. Somemore, if you familiar with eczema condition, you know eczema ni takde satu ubat yg sesuai/serasi utk semua penghidap eczema. Ubat dia lain-lain ye. Ikut keserasian tuan badan. So kena try and error)

Bila start new commitments (susu dan meds Nouf), bamm gelabah nk buat rayuan kuarters haha. I cerita segala masalah, cabaran, merayu tapi BPH takdapat tunaikan. 

Sedihla jugak tapi idakla sedih beria. After this respond, I pun xde buat appealing lagi sekali. So nampakla kt situ yg I tak beria mengharapkan kuarters ni. I pun jalani lah kehidupan seperti biasa.

Gitu gini, dlm bulan Oct 2022 I dpt offer balik ke Putrajaya. Sebulan lepastu, I make sure my HRMIS are updated (new work location is now Putrajaya). Once HRMIS I dikemaskini je, I apply kuarters kat Putrajaya pulak and bamm terus my queue utk kuarters jadi turn ke-10! Tanjat beruk I.

Selang sebulan kendian wallaweyyy my turn jadik no.1!!! Gelabah tak? Gelabah tak? Ofcourse la wehh. 

Tapi tu la, guruh di langit air tempayan jgn dicurah org tetua kata. Bayangkan, dari Januari 2023 sampai la Jun 2023, queue I kt no.1 tu tak gerak-gerak langsung 😅 Macam pelik gila kan? Nak terpaling juara, dah juara dah (no.1) tapi masih xde khabar berita ttg kemasukan kuarters. Takkan nak expect nombor tu jadik nombor 0 pulekss.

So i called SPBPH. Tanya punya tanya rupanya prosedur depa camni :

(1) penjawat awam mohon kuarters melalui portal > queue

(2) ada unit kuarters kosong (contoh ada kekosongan 30 unit) > SBPPH call queue list no.1-30

(3) first call untuk tanya samada 1-30 ni masih berminat tak nak duduk kuarters? (sbb kdg 1-30 ni dah 5-10 tahun menunggu. Ada yg dah mampu beli rumah dah pun. So they might refuse the offer)

(4) katakan dari 1-30 tu, hanya 23 yg accept offer (masih nak duduk kuarters), so SBPPH call another queue list 31-37.

(5) Refer back to (3), kena tunggu pulak JKR siap baik pulih all 30 units > SPBPH received kunci from JKR which means unit tu sedia diduduki > call again utk submit documents

By then, fahamlah I why it took almost half a year utk they made an offer to me. I sampai at this stage memang tak pushy langsung ya. Semoga Allah kurniakan pahala berganda-ganda atas kesabaran I tak nyusahkan org SPBPH. Amiiin 😇

In June, tgh bawa Affan assessment, I dpt call from SPBPH. Lepas kenalkan diri pegawai tu akan tanya, "Puan masih berminat lagi utk duduk kuarters?" Skrip standard rasa, haha. If you say yes, they will proceed to ask now stay kat mana, kerja kat mana, ada brp org fmly members. Just to reassure what we key in in the portal kot. At the end of the conversation, pegawai maklumkan yg we will receive email tawaran kuarters dan kita perlu respond "terima tawaran" dalam tempoh 7hari bekerja. Kiranya they masih bagi peluang utk kita fikir nak ke taknak duk kuarters.

Note : Make sure korang rajin check email address yg korang guna/isi kt portal SPBPH ok. I almost missed out the email sbb I lupa I pakai email mana kt portal depa.

Settled that part, pegawai akan hantar another email, requesting few documents utk kita sediakan.

In my case, I hanya perlu sediakan docs 1-6. Yg 6 tu kena get in touch dgn PSM masing2 k. I get so lucky sbb mmg close juga dgn org PSM so within a day or two mcmtu my doc no.6 siap. Once dah ready all docs, I email back the pegawai utk set appt.

Appt terus pagi esoknya haha. Cepat betholl. If u memang kerja di Putrajaya, senang je nak cari lokasi SPBPH sekarang. Landmark would be Alamanda. Naik grab better. Senang pun senang nak pick up/drop. Tak busy pun traffic kt kawasan tu. Kalau abe grab xtau mana SPBPH, sampai je kt Kompleks F ikut ping location waze tu, terus suruh abe grab slow2 drive sampai u nampak papantanda F6.

Ambil visitor's access card, naik lift to level 4, belok kanan. Touch access card, masuk pejabat Bhg Pengurusan Hartanah, ambil nombor. Kaunter laju je juga sbb tak ramai pun yg berurusan dlm satu2 masa (from my experience la).

Pegawai kaunter akan check sesiap docs kita dan serah pd pegawai in charge. Next, pegawai in charge akan bagi a set of documents pulak utk kita isi/lengkapkan.

Ingat tau.. ALL THE ABOVE are phase 'tawaran kuarters' which means u baru ditawarkan. Once u dah completekan the new sets of documents, barulah masuk ke fasa 'kemasukan kuarters'.

Next post I will share fasa kemasukan kuarters (dapat kunci) pulak kayss!

Checklist Preparation Darjah 1

17 March ni Affan will be having his orientation for standard 1 guys!! We (read babah) end up registered him at SJKC. At first the school memang strategically perfect for our routine and life sbb sangat lah close to my office. But when I moved back to HQ late last year, terkebil2 mikirkan caner nnt nak adjust hantar/pick up Affan to/fro school. 

Times flies. It just less than 2weeks before the big-school starts! In short, kami takde pun minta tukar sekolah. Both babah and I agree utk kita tgk dulu caner keadaan nya nnt. Sbb kna consider juga how well Affan fits in chinese school. Memang for about 3years plus he'd been attending to chinese kindy but bila sekolah ni mungkin jadi lain sikit kan.. Tu yg kami - tengok nanti mcm mana.

Anywayyss.. Nak simpan sini cerita tentang preparation ke darjah 1. Esok2 Nouf pulak nak masuk darjah 1 boleh kita refer balik kat sini.

Basic checklist :

Kemeja putih lengan pendek - 3

Seluar panjang blue black - 3

Stokin - 5

Kasut hitam - 3

Bag sekolah - 1

Bekal makanan/botol air - 1/1

Name sticker label

Lahh pendek je checklist hahhhaha. Actually at this stage I rasa ni jelah yg essential. The rest mmg I tggu hari orientation. Like sampul buku. I memang have no idea how many to buy. Sbb tu tggu hari orientasi. Macam pensil, pensil case, pemadam semua tu guna yg sedia ada dari zaman kindy dia jelah.

2weeks to go and here are items yg dh settled. 

Kemeja putih lengan pendek - 1 (pending lagi 2 helai)

Seluar panjang blue black - 1 (pending lagi 2 helai)

Stokin - 0 (pending lagi 5 pasang)

Kasut hitam - 2 (pending lagi 1 pasang)

Bag sekolah - 0 (pending 1)

Bekal makanan/botol air - 1 (settled) /1 (settled)

Name sticker label - (pending)

The very first item yg I beli was kasut! haha and that was unintentionally. Masa tu tgh jln2 kt mall pastu ternampak Skechers, saja la belek2 kasut sekolah warna hitam. RM100+. Jalan lagi sikit pastu masuk Al-Ikhsan and berderetla pilihan kasut sekolah (hitam gak). 

Belek punya belek pastu ternampak satu ni very unbelievable harga dia. Was only RM8 per pair! Banyak kali belek kasut, tengok tag, belek kasut, tengok tag. Masih takpercaya it was only RM8 per pair daripada harga asal RM40+.

The brand was Diadora. I rasa ok la kot that brand. Check size Affan, ok nice ada. At first nak beli sepasang je. Then time nak bayar, sales girl tu kata - Kak, belilah 2 pasang terus. Sbb murah kan? and she ended with hahaha. I pun felt hahaha too mcm eh yelah why not kan? RM8 je kot? Dalam hati adela sikit rasa mcm eh ni ok ke amik dua2 size yg sama? Satgi in a month kaki Affan dah memanjang sikit ha how? Bazir je beli sampai 2 pasang.

But then I told myself. Kalaulah ditakdirkan dah buka sekolah and memang Affan dah tak fit to the shoes, takpelah, kita sedekah je kt boys lain. Kiranya kalau ada rezeki Affan pakai kasut tu, ade lah. Kalau kata kasut tu is actually rezeki budak lain, maka akan sampai lah kasut tu kpd 'tuannya' juga later.

Habis cerita kasut sekolah.

Next is baju sekolah.

I joined this fb group named Malaysia Primary School on facebook. Obviously loads of primary school topic being discussed there. Salah satunya pasal baju sekolah la. After join group tu baru lah I tahu, nowadays parents are looking for uniforms yg anti wrinkle. Sbb malas nak gosok (OBVIOUSLY - A N T I W R I N K L E). List of brands listed and antara yg paling top ialah ThomX. 

Couple days later I ordered at ThomX website (You are welcome). 

Measured bahu Affan for the baju and labuh dari pinggang ke kaki for his seluar. 

Cost me RM58.00 included shipping and first timer rebate points.

Since I'm planning to have 3 of this set and only bought 1 set, ingat nak try different brands for the other 2 sets. One I'm eyeing is Professor brand and the other one ntah tatau lagi.

Now cerita pasal beg sekolah pulak.

Beg sekolah pun eh panjangla list yg parents share dlm fb group tu. Tp of course semua yg recommended adalah yg memahai harganya haha. Mahal tu means dalam range RM150 ke atas - atas tu pulak boleh pergi sampai RM400-RM500 kauu. Gitu harga sebuah beg sekolah jaman ni. Kot cikgu suh buat karangan pastu ada tajuk pilihan saya sepasang kasut atau saya sebuah beg sekolah, pilihla tajuk saya sebuah beg sekolah, nak oi.. Dah spend memahal kan, jgn disandang aja beg tu, bior abadikan dlm buku sekolah terus. Untung-untung karangan tu dapat A+ hah boleh ibu lagak-lagak sikit amik gambo homework Affan share kat status whatsapp ke buat reels ig ke wakkakkakkakkak.

So ada satu hari I purposely suh babah bawa kitorang tgk Didi the movie kat Atria Mall sbb nak singgah this one schoolbag shop. The Tiger Family namanya. Ingatkan kedainya mcm rupa kedai bag sekolah la kan. Rupanya kedai tu dah mcm kedai Braun Buffel hokehh. Kemahen cara display school bags nya. Mau kan tidak kalau harga seketul dekat RM400 😆 I would say 99% yg ada inside the shop waktu tu are Chinese family and they were not window shopping yeh. They came and keluar dgn tangan berisi (buy out bag). Kalau anak satu, satu bag la di tangan. Kalau anak 2, 2 bags la di tangan makpak tu haha.

We? Of course keluar tangan kosong kekkekkekke. Belum ikhlas lagi nak spend sampai RM400 utk bag sekolah anak 😛 Other option yg I'm eyeing are American Tourister, Swan, and Kocotree. AT price range RM100+ ada kt sogo, Swan kalau bag biasa (bukan ergo) starts at RM50+ pun ada.. Swan ni outlet byk je rasanya. Kocotree pulak setakat ni yg I tau available online shj (shopee, lazada). Price range RM100+. Fact is, beg sekolah ni yg jadi mahal adalah sbb teknologi yg menjadikan beg tu ringan dan ergonomic utk budak2 sekolah memikulnya. Kalau takat nak sekadar ada beg sekolah, beli kat aeon hat RM20-RM40 pun banyak je corak yg fancy2. 

Tapikan, Smiggle was never in my wishing list. Kt mata I, corak-corak Smiggles ni idok ler menarik mana. Or maybe girls' design menarik but since I only check on boys' kan, so..

To conclude, beg sekolah I mcm tak kalut sgt. I rasa the best is hari orientasi nnt I nk tgk kelas Affan kt mana, ground floor ke upper floor ke, perlu ke beli trolley type atau sandang biasa, buku nya sebeban mana, ha kena tgk dulu la pendek cerita. Kalau baju and kasut yes mmg kena awal (like now - 2-3weeks before school starts just nice to buy) sbb size cepat sold out. Apetah lagi Affan ni kategori kecik budaknya. Risau his size cepat je habis.

Basically that's all preparation utk Affan masuk darjah 1 as of now.

I keep berdoa luas dan banyak rezeki Allah kurniakan for him utk we sediakan yg terbaik utk dia. Kita parents ni perantara je, Allah kurniakan rezeki utk anak benornya. Tapi, melalui kita - the parents.

Btw, ni my secret wish la haha. I kekonon berangan nak belikan Affan smart watch. Yg I boleh evesdrop segala aktiviti dia kt school mbahhahha. Yela risau la sbb he will be minority kt sekolah nanti. So nk la tahu ok ke kwn2 treat dia, cecikgu treat dia, makan ke idak bekal yg I bekalkan nanti.. ntahkan makan bekal sendiri ntahkan belasah makan bekal kwn chinese nya ha pitam mak.. Smart watch tu nnt dia boleh call I/babah bila perlu and I can always track where he is (especially after school period). Tp tu lah, harga smart watch nya 😛  

I bekenan R1s dgn D3s. D3s ni hat paling muroh sekali ya lalalalala.. R1s tu hmm gi check sendirilah harga dia LOL. 

#kehendak #bukankeperluan (eh tapi kalau atas dasar keselamatan anak, dia jadi keperluan kan? en? en? Kbai 😝)
