'Tes CPNS' the solution or new problem for Indonesia?

What is CPNS Test?
This year, the test for government employee or Tes CPNS will be conducted. In two years ago, the CPNS test was prohibited because of the huge number of PNS in this country. Until now, PNS is the most interesting place for most people in Indonesia. Almost all of the Indonesian people even they have a job already still want to be a government employee.



Why Popular?
Why this event became popular in our country? I believe you (reader) especially from Indonesia know the answer exactly. Became a PNS will ease our live because we don’t need to work hard to get salary. This is very different when we work in the profit oriented company whether private or public company. Because of that by becoming PNS, we can enjoy our live fully. Other than that, some people like the prospect of PNS when they pension. They can get the pension salary until they die (That so funny…)

However there are many places which need the commitment, hard work and discipline such as medical, education and researcher staff. That place is out of the scope of this article. The view of this article is the place where actually it is not needed primarily for our government operational.

As my view, below are the points which can be described about this event,

It Is needed?
It is OK if the place offered in the CPNS test is very important and needed by the office. But as we can see, there are many PNS in several places who is very enjoy with their job. This indicates that there are too many people so the load of work is separated with them. Each people just hold little work. Because of that, many people enjoy PNS.
In my opinion, actually the existed staff in the office can be maximized based on their competencies. If they need the training or other, the employer can support it. It is an effective way for improving the performance of office without the addition the staff.

Bribery in Behind of Test?
I believe that you know about rumor that the test taker can graduate easily by give some money to the committee of test. I have heard the money can be 75 billion, 100 billion etc. I think it is a bad news for our bureaucracy.
Based on that rumor, I just think easily the cause why the government offices always need new people in each year is because the position of PNS can be a good profitable business. I hope that is not true but based on the logic, that two conditions have the correlation.

Too Many PNS, Too Much Salary To Be Paid
The salary of PNS is paid by government. So that if there are many PNS in this country then there is much money which has to be paid by government. In the last, this will disturb the finance condition of Indonesia.
We can imagine it the government employee can be minimized based on the priority need then the government of money can be used for other need such for poverty, medical, education etc. In the last, Indonesia can grow with that money.

Why PNS, not Entrepreneur?
Actually, the strong country has big number of entrepreneur, not government employee. If all of Indonesian people became PNS, the economic activity in this country will not run and Indonesia will be the third country forever (how sad…). Government has to encourage the new entrepreneur in this country so that they can grow significantly to support the economic development.

I think that’s all. That is based on my opinion so no offense.
