Resigning from job

I signed a new offer from a new company (more to come later) and thereby will have to submit my resignation letter to my current company.

The problem was that I love my current company and my previous boss. He still in the company but transferred to another country. However, I feels that the new boss (already 3 years in Singapore) and my immediate boss do not know the best way to manage me.

Maybe is due to different focus or direction. So I decided to look for new job and found it.

The new company is a software house with products in SCM, etc.

How to write a resigning letter

I think the resignation letter should be simple and direct. The few main points are:

  1. Inform the company you are resigning
  2. The last day of work unless you want to leave early
  3. Thanking your boss and company

I don't think adding reason of changing job in the resignation letter serve any purpose as I am resigning, it may be due to job, boss, work, increment, etc.

Once decided to resign, I can only say all the best to the company, my boss and my future.

After 4 years in current company, I think I am very comfortable in the company structure and policies. To move out from the comfort zone requires some courage and luck.

Luck is because I still do not know the culture of the new company. So to fit in to the new culture and place need some times to adapt. I hope I don't bring any of my cultural shock to them. As for shock from them, I guess I am pretty sure I can fit it.

Anyhow, it is going to be a new challenge.

I did spoke to my old boss telling him that he going to be missed and I still have not fully thank him yet.

Malaysia - Politics

Since the 8th March election, things doesn't look good to the BN government.The BN is not doing enough to control the damages and with the Umno in fighting, there is more suffering to the rakyat.

As rakyat, we only wish who ever in the government to run it more professionally. Something started to be implemented such as the ACA but no detail plan on how ACA will become like ICAC of Hong Kong. The only plan was to increase the manpower.

During the election, a lot of rakyat not very happy with the election commission, why not start with the EC to ensure that they did not do anything wrong during the election. This will make the rakyat trust the government more.
