SINGAPORE: An inspirational quote from Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Inc., loving whatever job one is doing has seen two Malaysian graduates work as garbage collectors in Singapore.
Muhammad Khidir Samsudin, who prefers to be called Eday, and his colleague, Mohd Yuamirul Che Yussoff, recently became the focus of attention on social media when they returned an iPad Pro from a Singaporean. They had found it accidentally dumped in a recycling bin.
Michelle Lim used Facebook on December 2 to express her appreciation.
Lim had written that Eday, 25, and Yuamirul, 26, deserved a “more satisfying and rewarding job.”
“They are young, hard-working and most importantly, honest and humble. They also speak and write well, ”he wrote.
Eday from Batu Pahat, Johor, when contacted by Bernama, said that he has a degree in Scientific Development from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia.
“It is not bad for me to gain experience in this sector of waste management,” explained Eday, who intends to stay on the job for three years.
“This will give me a better understanding of the work process and one day I will be more grateful to my subordinates,” he said, adding that he had the blessing of his parents.
When asked why he was not doing the same job in Malaysia, Eday said that he was paid in Singapore currency and this was a great attraction.
“What I get here at the end of each month exceeds the salary of junior executives in Malaysia. And in Malaysia, you also need at least three years of work experience.
“If I ever go back to Malaysia, I can say that I have experience working in a foreign company,” said Eday, who now works with SembWaste Pte Ltd, which is part of the Sembcorp Group, a leading energy and urban development company. and marine group.
Eday said he had done many part-time jobs, including as a temporary teacher at a school in Batu Pahat and in a small business related to wearing mascot costumes.
