PBL : A New Perspective of Me! ~ Group Leader...

Assalamualaikum n Hope All in the Good Condition...

Alhamdulillah I had finished my PBL presentation yesterday. For me, PBL had gave a thousand meaning for me. Today, I want to share some of my experience as a group leader in PBL presentation.

Having a group leader is not an easy task. Here, only determination can bring us to a better result of our group. I am taking the challenge to be a group leader for this session of PBL. At the beginning to be a group leader is an easy task but its becomes a nightmares when the problems comes in.

The problem begins when all the group member do not give full commitment to understand the question and also to find the relevance cases related to the topic above. Me as a group leader had tried my best to settle my problems in a good manner. But all to worst when a lot of assignment get along at the same time.. IT,consti, etnik... Aargh.. that's had influene my feeling throughout the days...and the volcano EXPLODE when I cannot hide my emotional feeling to all my member group my expressing it in a "rude" way.. Actually I do not to express my feeling in that way but as a human being, my patience also had its limitation and until it reach into its limit, I will explode badly....It is not my style to express in that way that show bad image to me but it become uncontrolled when we problem comes along at the same time...

What I do when I cannot take all the burden is I'm tried to separate myself from the public but my collogue actually detacts my reaction and tried to settle my problem but I'm run away from them as I assumming them as a part of my burden and cannot solves my difficulty. what I do to settle my problem is I walked alone around the UKM and tried to find the happiness in my truly soul...

After that, all things turns into a good condition when all my friends had given a full commitment to settle their PBL task and also showing their support to me as a gorup leader when they had know their mistake and also tried to change the situation that we having now. That's make me a strong person as my friens itself had support all my efforts and also want to o-operate as a group. Thank God beause given this gold opportunity to settle my problems. What I learnt from this situation is I must not settle the problem by my own if I find it very difficult to do that but we must onsult with the other person as every person had their own perspective about the way to settle my problems.. Settle the problem by myself cannot settle everything but its only can hurt own feeling time by time...

To be a group leader had given a valueable chance for me to lead the other person the had their own behavior. What I hope in the future is I will be given one more chance as be a group leader cAN TEACH ME ON HOW TO ADAPT WITH THE DIFFERENT situation whether in the hard situation or not. To all my PBL members, Addlin, Azriff, Sing Ghee, Yung Ching, Kiao Huoi, and FArhah.. Thank for being one of close friends at least in a week... and also for your co-operation and hard work, only God may bless you.. I am very sorry if in a period of a week I had made something that made all of you not comfortable with me..that's come from my own weaknesses and I hope I caN changed it for the sake in the future.. Insya-Allah. I hope we can co-operate again as a one teAM in the future... Insya-Allah, may Allah bless it...

To Mdm Raja Hanani, I am sorry if I had done something that made your heart broken... I hope madam will "halal" the knowledge that you had gave to me and also to all my friends... Maybe we are still new to understand the environment but we can learnt from your experiences to be applied in the our life...

That's all for now.. Hope see you soon in another entry...

Insya-Allah...

Bid farewell to the first semester and hope all the best in your final examination....

Good Luck! Chaiyo! Chaiyo!

Hope see you soon in another entry...

Bye-Bye...........................

Virtue of Eid-Ul-Fitr...

Assalamualaikum and hope all in the good health..

For me its not late to wish "Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri" for those whom celebrated it.. This year of Eid-Ul-Fitr had bring a thousand meaning for me. Many incident had occured and me as a person who involved with it turns into a person with more matured personality.

Sometime we does not know where the happiness will come.. we need to face all the challenges first before we reach the happiness in our life.. For the first time in my life, my big family unite together in a harmony. Before this, my family are not in the good condition due to some problems arised. 2 days before Raya, my mom said, she hopes that all relatives will comes back here and celebrated Hari Raya together and my mother said she missed the Raya celebration likes a long time ago.. Maybe what my mother said had become a reality "Doa". Me as a son can seen the happiness of my mom when her hope to make the reunion had become reality. Can you imagined what is your feeling when you met with your own relative after losing contacts for 5 years.

Here, what I learnt was we should not totally give up when we felt its was really hard to achieves some hope.. As I said before, the memory in the Aidilfirti this years will become one of my sweet memory in my life..

Hope see you soon...

Salam and Bye-Bye

1Malaysia, 1Hope, 1Unity

Assalamualaikum and Hope All in a Good Condition...

1Malaysia, that's the things that I am want to reflect with. Maybe it is a part of our country tradition, when our country having a new leadership, they will introduce a tagline for that will creates their own brand and identity... Our new 5th Prime Minister, Dato' Seri Najib Tun Abdul Razak also formed his unique identity that is "1Malaysia-Rakyat Didahulukan, pencapaian Diutamakan." The tagline "1Malaysia" for me had given a brilliant meaning especially for all Malaysian. The number "1" itself shows that our Prime Ministry dream to make Malaysia as a advance and leader in all aspect and also hope Malaysian will unite together in the same country with our own branding. The concept of "1Malaysia" should not be similar to the concept of "Malaysian Malaysia" as the virtue of "1Malaysia" is to apply equality among its citizen without contravene with the article in our Federal Constitution. The notion of "1Malaysia" should be applied in our country as its promote unity based on the principle of "Celebrating The Variousness". It is important for us to respect the other culture and tradition as its has build our own country branding.

From the perspective of campus life, what I can see is the students in the university is now easily to adopt with the notion of "1Malaysia" and the application of this notion can be seen from the events that had been held around the university. For example, in UKM, in conjunction of the 37th Convo Fest, every night, in the main stage, there will the event that actually promote to the unity of all races in Malaysia for instances, Boria; dances and so on. From here, we can see all races are unite in order to make their performance success.

It is about 5 days from before we will celebrate our 52th Independent Day... The virtue of "1Malaysia" should be given prioritize by all Malaysian as its will shape our development for another 50 years.. For me, "1Malaysia" in not a rhetoric but a reality.. and it is not impossible for us as a Malaysian to make it our hope for the future...

That's all for now.... Hope see you soon... :0> :0)

*** Assalamualaikum and Hope having a Very Nice DAy...

Today, my topic is quite a very sensitive to be discussed but we need to discuss it as its will influence our contitution itself. National language being crucial and sensitive especially in Malaysia that involved multi-lingual community. Malaysian needs to appreciate their own national language in order to build strong national integration. Current situations viewing that prestige of Bahasa Melayu (BM) as a national language is going degradation. Article 152 of the Federal Constitution for the safeguard of the role of BM as a national language in all official matter, including education. So. it is under our responsibility to uphold the notion of Bahasa Melayu as our national language.

When we look into the context of judiciary system in Malaysia where BM is not be given a priority in court. Consequential of this, the issue of “Bahasa Rojak” rising in the court. The usage of BM in court is considered as unsatisfaction. Ex-Chief Judge, Tun Ahmad Fairuz criticized the usage of language in court is not perfect as having mixing between BM and English. National language will lead into distinction if the usage of “Bahasa Rojak” is not controlled as prevention is better than cure.BM is being applied as official language in court and duration of 29 years should not be an excuse for legal practitioner especially the senior not fluent in BM. Failing to be competence in national language bringing many problems as the important rules and regulations are translated into BM since 1968. Section 8 of National Language Act 1967 that allowing the court proceeding shall be partly in national language and partly in English show weakness of the law relating to the national language. Choices provided in Section 8 had brought negative impact to the usage of BM in court as most of the judges favour to use English in court because of comfortable. Amending Section 8 of National Language Act will increase the prestige of BM as acknowledgement is given by the court.

Inefficient implementation of the laws resulted signboard and advertisement in Malaysia do not use BM properly and extensively in most of times. Nowadays, it is likes a “trend” as many advertisement use English as their main language rather than BM. For instance, most of the commercial banks in Malaysia are more use English in their advertisement that can easily been seen on the road. Here, the ignorance of the instruction of Bank Negara Malaysia General Order on 2001 that all financial institutions in Malaysia are compulsory to apply national language in all matter is being asked as its implementation is not efficient. Besides, most of the sign board on all shops are failed to apply BM in a proper way and its disturb the beautifulness of the national language itself. Failing to use BM correctly and precisely is against with the general order made by Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) on 2006. A good advertisement and signboard must create respect to the foreigner for our own identity.

In essence, efficient implementation of the law is the best approach to protect national language from being distinction and also safeguard the national integration among multi-racial community in Malaysia. DBP as a “language police” must be given more power to ensure standard of BM always in higher level. Even though DBP is responsible for the protection of our national language, we as a citizen of our beloved country, Malaysia should co-operate together in order to uphold the guidelines in our country Federal Constitution. Appreciation of the tagline “Bahasa Jiwa Bangsa” must be given prioritize as our national language nowadays seem not be a symbol of the nation like national flag which all Malaysian’s can identify.

That's all for now...

"PPSMI" a Reality Became Rhetoric!

Assalamualaikum and A Very Nice Day....

Today I am very interested to discuss about PPSMI or Learning and Teaching of Mathematics and Science in English. When the government had announced that the policy PPSMI will be abolished, Malaysian had given mixed feeling about the government decision. Why? Because human being have their own view about some issues and this will lead to the critical thinking among the communities. Today, I will expressed my own point of view. From my own perception, I agreed with the decision made by the government to abolished the PPSMi because of several rationale. First, the usage of English in Mathematics and Science lead to the increasing gap between the students in rural area and in the urban area. So, as a reasult, the students in the rural area cannot catch-up with the syllabus as the main problem for students is the medium of instruction, that is the language itself.

Secondly, the decision made by government in 2002 to launch the PPSMI had been done without any proper preparation. For example, the teachers itself. Since for a long time, teachers in Malaysia who are teaching Mathematics and Science had used Bahasa Melayu as a medium of instruction and they are more experienced to teach this two critical subjects in our national language. Can we imagined how teachers to teach Mathematics and Science in English as they are not exposure to the environment of English itself? This actually made the condition worst become worst as teachers are more comfortable to use bilingual to teach in class as they are not fluent in English and also their students cannot understand what they are teaching as the students having limited usage of English. So, by using back Bahasa Melayu in the learning and teaching process of Mathematics and Science, students will comprehend with the subjects and also lead the teachers to use more unique technique in order to make their students understand better.

The equipments provided by the government is not enough and sometimes, not suitable to use in the learning process. As a proof, the contents of the textbook and some multimedia software likes CD-ROM provided by the Ministry of Education in the subject of Science is not complete and students cannot used the textbook as a first priority as many facts in the textbooks had not been described eventhough it is mentioned clearly under the syllabus provided.

As I am mentioned before, every person have their own view about some issues. Its goes the same with me. It is only my personal opinion as a one of the students who had been experienced with this PPSMI policy. I am sure that those who is categorised as 'Language Lovers" will support the decision made by the government to abolished this policy and those who is educated as "English Orientation" will be very dissapointed with the government decision. As I am concerned, this policy actually illegal as its contravene with Education Act 1996 that clearly mentioned about the usage of Bahasa Melayu as a main instruction in school. So, now it is depends on ourself whether to think the rationale taken by the government logically or emotionally...

That's all from now... Always have a beautiful day.........

See You Again In the Next Time!

Dilemma of the Law....

Assalamualaikum and Hope All In A Good Condition..

Welcome to my world of view..This is me, Fairul Izwan.. What most of the communities think about law? Generally communities think law is a matter about lawyer. Why this matter happened? For me I did not agree as the law student we will surely be come a lawyer one day. In my deep heart, law is not my first preference... but how we interpret the law is the most important things. Actually I want to persue my studies in education but the UPU result after I completed my SPM had changed my vision through of my life. Eventhough I had received so many offer to persue my studies from JPA, Institusi Perguruan and Matriculation, I had decided to choose law as my priority field to pursue my studies.

Why I am choosing law rather than pursuing my studies overseas? I want to changed the perspective of the communities about law.. law is not about lawyer only BUT its about our awareness and conscious about the rules and regulation in this beautiful world. Law is something very unique that we need to 'treat' and 'care' about the maintenance of the law itself. Without law human being does not know how to control themselves from doing something that create 'sin' not only to the most merciful God only but throughout the communities.. Law is not a matter of glamourous! It is actually a necesscity in order to make our life more comfortable. In my own perception, many students enter into law because of the salary that we can earn and also the level of glamourous that we can achieves.. My advise for those who want to persue in law is one, PLEASE change your mentality about law.. Law is not the matter of popularity but it is the platform to uphold justice among the people.. How to achieves justice if we as a one of the generation who will be leading the country in the future only want to maintain the popularity without concerning deeply what is your role to the communities? For me it is a waste of time to study for 4 years only for achiving the level of gramourlous in your life... Again please change your mentality and perception when you decide to study in law. Here I do not want to deny any of the opportunities that you get to study in law but when we understand the essense of the law itself, studying law is not just come to class but it is like the "agreement" or the responsibity for us to the community.. Please remember, I am writing this things is not to critise the decision to enter into law but it is just like the advise from your parents to his daughter in order to ensure that his daughter will make something that is very sweet and bring the proudness to her parent. I just want to change the nature of law itself from the glamourous style to the responsibility style.. Insya-Allah, we will achives what we want in the future...

Thank You and Best Regards....
