Dear Ms Wong (not her real name) of NWCDC,

I write to you as I feel our phone conversation is insufficient to express how dissatisfied I am from the lack of assistance I have received from NWCDC so far.

I have been denied financial assistance, sent to the wrong type of ‘upgrading’ course (which is not an upgrade for me since I have already taken the course before), received damaged WSQ certs and received no word or feedback to my case for so long.

I had assumed the long face-to-face conversation we had several weeks ago, would be a turning point for me as I thought that you would understand my current needs better.

Your insistence to close my case even before I am able to secure a stable job has greatly saddened me to the point that I have lost all confidence in NWCDC.

I have failed to understand why my working as a part-time dishwasher for the past two weeks - earning $30 a day, would constitute as a stable job and justified the closure of my case file.

If you feel that is sufficient to close my case, I will not argue with you.

You have also mentioned that you have sent my resume to countless companies - all I ask now is an honest feedback on why I failed to secure even an interview with these companies?

This would allow me to learn from my mistakes and to adjust my resume and expectations while I continue to look for a job on my own. And I will not disturb you ever again.

Yours sincerely,

Shafie Bin Salleh

Dear Mr Shafie,

Thank you for your feedback.

The CDC is here to assist you, not to feed you, spoonfeed you or force feed you.

You failed to secure any interview is because you are not shortlisted. Just as you have every right to send your job applications, companies have every right not to consider you. No amount of adjustment to your resume will change anything.

Your inability to secure a high paying job is solely due to your own inability, not the fault of CDC. Did you ever ask yourself why didn't you study harder? Why didn't you spend time picking up new skills? CDC is not responsible for your present state, you are.

You should be thankful that with your lack of qualification, you have a job earning $30 a day. If you are not happy with this job, many are waiting to take over.

Finally, no one owes you a living!

Sincerely,
Ms Wong (not my real name) of NWCDC
