To all Muslim students, Selamat Menyambut Awal Muharram. :)
STIDC has its own television in the company which all the news about timber products or any issues, events or important announcement will be aired at 11 a.m. everyday. This news will be recorded in the studio at STIDC itself. Besides that, there is also radio announcement. All this are under the Corporate Affairs Section.
On my second week of internship, I was given the task to write a script for the radio announcement and it has to be in Bahasa Melayu. I find it a little challenging because I have not written anything formal in Bahasa Melayu since high school. I had to write it in English first then I translated it using Google Translate. (I just realized that I am only good in conversing in Bahasa Melayu but not good at writing it). Kak Lista proof-read my script then asked me to do the announcement.
I was quite nervous at first because it is a live announcement and if I make a mistake, the whole company can listen. It took me around 15 minutes to practice the script. After doing the announcement, I went back to the Corporate Affairs Department. As I was walking towards my table, the whole department gave a round of applause. That actually made my day because everyone in my department were very supportive and they do not take me (an intern) for granted. They made me feel welcomed.
Two weeks working as an intern, it totally changes my whole perception and judgement about working in a government organisation. It is not bad after all. If I were given the chance to work here after I graduated, I think I would totally give it a try.
I hope everyone enjoys their placement like I do too.
