I just got back from my PTK course recently. Nowadays, it is no longer for 7 days but they cut it to 1 and 1/2 days. One day for lectures and group work and 1/2 a day for group presentation.
Due to budget constraint we were placed in the Youth Hostel/Hotel somewhere near Jalan Robson. Not all of you may know where this Wisma is situated. Don't worry as most taxi drivers don't too. One of our friends ended up being sent to the cemetery.
The accommodation was bad. The room my colleague from Alor Star and I stayed in was run-down. The wall next to my bed was full of ‘fungus’. I was lucky not to have contracted ‘vaginal candidiasis’. It was dusty and dull (only a low powered neon light was illuminating our small room).

The toilet was OK but I have seen better floors in public toilet of the GSCs. The shower curtain was full with black spots and probably never once changed from 1979.
Poor kawan from Alor Star suffered rhinorrhea from the dusty carpet and was unwell the next day. Some rooms had rats ‘visiting’ them at night. I even saw one running across the stage during one of the lectures.
Oh…meals were not that great too. Yes, we did have 6 meals a day but some rather eat out or have tea tarik at the gerai next door. We had ‘uncooked’ nasi lemak on the last day and 'overcooked' nasi ayam for lunch. The tea were all tea bujang.
The organizers had no choice but to pick a cheaper venue after the cabinet announced this new ‘prudent culture’ spending since June. But I heard it was not that cheap to have it in the Wisma also. The amount spent was almost the same (if we had it done in the hotel which they have booked earlier). Besides, the organizers had paid 50% (of the booking fees to the hotel anyway) which went up in smoke (close to RM 19k – gone).
So, you be the judge if such courses can improve our ability to make good decisions as managers.
P.S. someone told me after the course that now we can have such government courses in hotels again…, mmmmmm…. Flippy- floppy.
