wei liv nal...


Office and politics are never too far apart from one another like 'aur and tebing' or translation 'river and riverbed' and fortunately in Malaysia, we never run out of 'colourful' and 'wonderful' and 'bloodyfool' politicians to draw our inspiration from...so today... as my first ever post... wei liv nal would like to dispense his wisely observations on what sort of office politician you actually are when you are in office ...

1. Najib Razak













You are a Najib Razak when ...

1. You're son of so and so at office and you're close to the pinnacle of the company's hierarchy and almost in danger of becoming the almost 'top dog'
2. You don't look too bright but you're actually pretty smart in navigating away from trouble and keeping the company just afloat w/
out exerting your brain cells too much...so you use it to your greatest advantage at office
3. You're a guru in the 'buat bodoh' expression and always get away with it at office when scandals explode around you in office
4. You've got a pretty good eye on all the office ladies... whenever your wife is not around
5.You're 'explosive!' and blow your competitors away in many kinds of ways
6. You're favorite words are "Matter solved" and "Be cool"
7. You favorite food is Mongolian fried chicken
8. If you're married... you're constantly henpecked by your wife and she helps you run meetings at times... especially big ones...
9. You 'anal' with your work and like to enter from the back office door...
10. Your most likely in Purchasing Department or in Russian Business Development

2. Khairy J























You're a Khairy at the office when...

1. You are a young superstar / up and coming hotshot at office...you're boss loves you...you're colleagues secretly loathes you..and the secretaries adore you...
2. You're most likely somebody's son in law as well... the boss in most cases
3. You're foreign grad... oxbridge or oxford brookes or some 3 + 0 programmes and most of the time... the reputation exceeds you true capability...
4. You get your way in the office by secretly manipulating the boss and you keep secret files on all your colleagues just in case they decide to spill the beans on you
5. You're brash, ignorant of people's ideas and push your weight around to make sure the office goes your way or the highway...
6. You like Maya Karin
7. You're most likely a management associate, special projects officer in the CEO's office or in the strategic planning department

3. Samy V

















You're a Samy V when...

1. You're the old goat of the office whose been in the same company longer than the office furniture...you've seen many office regimes rise and fall and yet you're still around in the same chair and desk in the same god damn position
2. You talk shit and brag alot... mostly bout how the good auld days are over and things in the company are better when so and so were around..
3. You're a kiss ass to the boss and you lick him dry till he can't stand your face but he don't have the heart to actually lay you off
4. You're always in charge of collecting donations, funeral 'pak kham', sports day fees, birthday cake fees, and the list goes on...
5. You can never accept new ways of doing things and chances are you tried using your typewriter till today instead of microsoft word
6 Everyone volunteers to organize your retirement party at an earlier date than your actual retirement day for some unknown reason...
