Incensed
An intensely blue sunrise and an insanely outrageous invasion of privacy and rights at work.
My last post on that outrageous ‘house’ on top of a cliff with massive rock fill to create the retaining sea walls and even more massive earth fills to create the access driveway to the top of the hill more than infuriate the more mindful and thoughtful amongst us on the waste and abuse of the earth’s resources by those just because they can.
And I was incensed too when the ‘emergency’ meeting called to thrash out the issue about internet access revealed more than concerns about office security and staff productivity - it revealed the outrageous invasion of privacy by our IT department who have ‘dossiers’ on the records of staff’s website visits! Needless to say since I complained, and as the head of my department; my staffs were targeted - for logging on to music websites! Subsequent conversations with staff in other department revealed that our emails were also spied on as staff had been called up for disciplinary action for having office affairs after being caught digitally! OMG.
As you can imagine with a defensive and invasive bastard person the meeting did not achieve much but to get me incensed. I was seething. It was a good thing that there was no paddle in the meeting room yesterday afternoon that I could get my hand on. But I could just as easily squeeze his nuts into a fraction of its already puny size with my bare hand. This is outrageous and a sickening state of affair. If I push this issue further I might probably get myself in trouble as this IT person is ‘entrenched’ in our organization and apparently with the support of the top guy in the company or so he brags (and indirectly threatens). I might just take him on the brag and see who blinks first. What shit. And things could get ugly for me but I am not moving ground.
The colours of nature is pure and beautiful. The true colours of some people are perverse and ugly.

Maybe the IT guy is just trying to cover his own tracks, because it’s actually him who spends his days at work surfing XXX websites? I’d send him some “private” emails with recommendations
Is this form of spying and invasion of privacy at work legal in Malaysia?

Keep cool. Keep attacking the stupid IT guy. His style is slow and devious. He smiles at you when he greets you but beware of his dagger from behind. I salute you for standing your ground. Nobody there has the gut to stand for what they believe in.

Francis,
What you expect lah in Sarawak, you guys are ruled by king, not democratic here like US.
My boss intercepted my cell phones (this was like 15years ago, 1993). He reprimanded me that I talked to my friends about company stuffs.
If that is in America, I sue him kuat kuat lah but instead I kena reprimanded by him.
This bosses, CEO, COO, Datuk, Tan Sri, whatever pankat you got in Malaysia, got nothing to do, if not go play majo or else intercept people cell phone, what primitive society mind set, all these ‘chi sing’ people.
Actually lah, this IT people just doing things for boss one lah, boss ask to jump longkau, they also jump one. No balls one all lah.
A, come US lah, we franchise our ‘kalo me’. I see a lot of small chinese restaurant but why chinese people donot start franchise fast food chain like 100000+ kind of ‘angmo’ fastfood chain here.
A, if you can steal the ‘wayang street sia poa’ recipes, I can open jalan for you at our local super market.
Burmese people, 1 couple (husband and wife) sell sushi to these ‘angmo’ can make like $1mil a year, I am sure the ‘wayang street sia poa’ can sure beat them one lah, angmo like pastry more than nasi leh.
