Who has got the best cubicle?

Privacy and space has always been a priority in Intel. My employer to be, has been providing one of the best work place for its' employees...giving each of us a 6x6 cubicle fully equipped with a personal computer, telephone, table with sufficient storage place and an ergo chair which I deem as very expensive. According to my last meet with Intel's Safety Engineer who are responsible for the ergo chair, that one chair cost Intel approximately RM800...and with Intel's reputation, I am proud to call myself an Inteller.

With all this fascination on cubicle, I was attracted by the headline on the star...

Ministers get cubicles

My first thought was that I am not the only few that has to bare with the 6 x 6 cubicle but our ministers too...but .............SHOCK of my life...

I bet none could guess correctly on how much would each of the ministers' cubicles would cost...teng teng teng teng...it's all in RM1.7 million which means each of that 21 super luxurious cubicle would cost approximately RM81,000...that is about the cost for more than 1 unit of low cost houses...

Well I do understand that they need those equipments like table, telephone, fax machine and computer and TV...shared unit of copy machine, printer and sofa set for every 2 ministers. But how much would all these cost....

From my googled result
Table : S$2,999.00 from here equivalent to RM6,960.93

Telephone : $499.00 from here equivalent to RM1,572.49
Fax machine : £450.00 from here equivalent to RM2,793.13
Computer : $4999 from here equivalent to RM15,760.84 TV: £999.00 from here equivalent to RM6,201.91
shared unit
Copy machine : $3,999 from here equivalent to RM12,606.79

Printer : $ 399.00 at here equivalent to RM1,257.94Sofa set : $1908.00 from here equivalent to RM6,015.54


Oh yes...it was not mentioned in that article about a chair but I just add it in on my own...and I gave it a RM5,000

Total
= (6960.93 + 1572.49 + 2793.13 + 15760.84 + 6201.91) + (12606.79 + 1257.94 + 6015.54)/2 + 5000
= 33289.30 + 9940.14 + 5000
= 48229.44

All costings done here are as according to price of the high end product of respective price. For example, I have quoted computer which is named as the top 5 desktop for extreme user and the TV is a LG 42" LCD.

With this kind of budgeting...perhaps I shall consider to tender for this project...I believe I will be able to source for things at price better than the above and quote our gov at a lower price...a win win situation isn't it?...haha

So now looking back at Intel...my cube to be is nothing comparable to the one provided by all Malaysians.
