Had this conversation with Mr Cheong Sing Yuen, the KL State Commissioner (Boys’ Brigade) almost two months ago. This should be a BB post, put I’ll post it here anyway. We were talking about hiring a new Full Time Officer for the State to manage State affairs. 

Cheong:  I don’t think a full time Officer should be attached to any Company. If I were in-charge and hiring, that would be a main requirement. (I am still serving in 3rd KL though attached with National Headquarters)

Voon: What if I raised my own funds? (We were aiming to raise several hundreds of thousands to buy a premise and sustain the FTO’s salary for three years) Would you allow me to be attached with a Company?

Cheong: No. How much can you raise?

Voon: If I raise RM30,000 by myself (that’s like a year’s salary worth in Malaysia)? Sell away my car and stuff.. 

Cheong: Oh. If like that I sure can allow.

LOL!
