Hello, my fellow friends. First of all, Happy Deepavali to all my Indian friends.
Today, I would like to share with all of you my feelings. Until today, finally all the presentation and PBL end. Next week is holiday for study week before our final examination arrive. What I would like to say is I'm very unsatisfied with my PBL Contract and I really hope that I can do it all over again and I believe that I would do better. This is my first experience in mooting and I really had learn something from this. This is a very precious and memorable experience for me. To prepare for my PBL, my group and I really had put so much effort, but the outcome is totally different with what have us expected. All of my group member think that we would do better if we got a chance to do it all over again. But undeniable, all of us feel relief when we know that the PBL is end.
The university lifestyle at law faculty is exactly different with what have I thought before. Everyone keep going to said that the life at university or campus is better and easier compared to the life at secondary school and form six. But, until today i realize that what have they said is totally different with what I have been undergo in the law faculty. I proved them wrong. The life at here is more tension and harder than what have I thought where here require much more effort to keep going in this four year study before I'm graduate. My form six's lecturer prefer to mention a maxim which sounds "choose thy love and love the choice". He often reminds me that I should choose what I would like to be and should not regret for what I have been chosen. His words always remain in my mind and I really struggle hard to survive in this tension study environment. Since the first day I enter the law faculty, I know that I couldn't regret with my choice anymore but I have to keep going this long journey bravely. Actually, I never dreamnt that I would be here, the law faculty. But, the fact is I'm here and therefore I realize that I really need to put much more effort to ensure that I would survive in this competitive environment. But, I felt that I don't have enough time since I'm here. There are so many cases, articles, authorities and texts for me to read but, I feel that I don't have enough time to do so. Maybe this is because the proficiency of my language is not well enough and I found that It's really takes time for me to understanding fully the texts or the cases that I have read. I have to read it again and again and analysis it and think about it before I really understand what the authors try to delivered. It's really take time. Maybe this is the main factor that I felt that I don't have enough time. But undeniable, I really have learned something from the PBL. In the preparation PBL, my group and I had discussed the issues together and my group member really sharpen my mind. I start to be more analyitcal and start to interpret and look into the matter in many aspect and try to find the solution from the different ways. I start to built up my own opinion and I start to debate my point with my group member. I think the better way to study is to listen to the others and try to form our own opinion after listened to the others and try to analysis is it correct and right for ourself to do this and that. Thus, I really enjoy the the conversation among my PBL group member. I get along with them very well and we are at ease to be one group. Although the process of the preparation for PBL is very hard and tough, but we really enjoyed the process. I valued the time of my group discussion on PBL as at that time, all of us in my group will comes out with our own perception and thinking during the conversation and we will start to rebut the others idea logically. After the conversation, we will comes out with a conclusion or thinking where everyone would agree about it. Undeniable, I felt that I'm lucky to get into such a fantastic group and become a part of the group.
That's all from me today, thank you.
Sincerely from,
Shoo May

Accident
Malaysia has one of the highest rate of road accidents in the world especially during the school holiday or festive seasons, example Hari Raya, Chinese New Year, Deepavali and so on where people will go back to their hometown. Much effort has been taken yet the mortality rate due to mishaps on the road continues to escalate.
Speeding has been identified as the main cause of accidents. Motorists, as well as motorcyclists tend to treat the highways as race tracks. They even race illegally in most urban areas. Many cannot control their machines and vehicles and end up killing themselves and innocent people like the other road user and passer-by. What can be seen is speedtraps and police road blocks have not been a good deterrent for many since they are still doing the same thing.
Undeniable, overloading by lorry drivers also causes them to lose control especially when they are coming downhill and this lead to the accident. The brakes overheat and lose their grip on the wheelbase. This has resulted in many accidents especially in tool booths and at exits to town and cities.
Many motorists do not adhere to the road traffic ordinance. They do not slow down in housing areas , beat traffic lights and throw caution to the wind. Their negligence in driving has taken its toll.
Besides, one of the most obvious causes is drivers are known for tailgating, queue jumping, road hogging and turning without adequate signals. Many motorists park their vehicles at restricted areas such as kerbs, corners, and where other motorists are unable to have a clear view. This has contributed to the increase in accidents.
Furthermore, unfavourable road conditions such as potholes, bottlenecks, steep gradients, high speedbreakers and others such as flood, prone highways and roads have caused more mishaps.
Inadequate streetlighting, bad road planning where there are blind corners and confusing road signs have worsened this problem. Some roads are narrow and when motorists park by the sides, the area becomes an accident prone area.
Much effort has taken by the authorities yet the road accidents are still continues to escalate. Road safety campaigns, educating road users and stringent law enforcement which beleived will nip this problem in the bod have been carried out, but the accidents are still in increase. Therefore, in my opinion, it is pointless that the authorities had done and plan so many things since there are no co-operation from the citizen. It is their own attitude which determines whether will they obey the rules and regulations. The irresponsible drivers feel that speeding is just a small matter and no need to be too overact but they do not know that while they are throwing their caution to the wind, at the same times they are threaten other innocent road users. They are not only end up killing themselve but also the innocent ones.
The national road council must rectify accident prone areas and promote safety as well as defensive driving techniques among our motorists and motorcyclists. The authorities had constructed separate lanes for motorcyclists to avert mishaps with cars, lorries and buses but it is not all road are completely separated. Besides, some of the motorcyclist are also not obey the rules by not busing the facalities that have been constructed for them.
In addition, heavy vehicles also should be prohibited from using the roads during peak hours and festive seasons. They should allow a time frame to prevent unnecessary accidents. Pedestrians must be taught on road safety and the most important thing is everyone must make an effort to reduce the fatality on the roads.

Malaysia
Hi, my fellow classmate. Today, i would like to share about the ideas on how can we unite the people of diverse origins in Malaysia.
Multi ethnic Malaysia faces a big challenge in uniting the people of diverse origins namely Malays, Chinese, Indians, Punjabis and others. We have the Ibans, Bidayuhs, Penans and other east Malaysians to include in the list.
Celebrations, festivals, and activities of different races should be respected and should not be condemned by people of different ethnicity.
In addition, we must adhere to the principals of the Rukun Negara which emphasizes that everyone should respect the Federal Constituition. The people can promote mutual understanding and respect by organising more activities where everyone from different races participate equally.
Further, government departments must have more multi-ethnic staff as this will be a good example for the private sector to emulate.
The authorities must have open-houses during celebrations and festivals to promote goodwill and understanding.
Members of the armed forces and the police force must have an equal number of Malays, Chinese and Indians as well as the other races who form the population of Malaysia.
Telematches, jogathons, marathons and other outdoor activities must be held to get everyone to mix freely. Teachers, parents and leaders must instil the basic foundation of unity among children, students and teenagers.
Everyone should refrain from making racial slurs and creating the disharmony among the people of different ethnic backgrounds.
The terminology use for race should be changed to Malaysians rather than to divide according to different ethnic background.
Ministers, deputy ministers, parliamentarians and senators should speak on unity and attend to the needs of every Malaysian equally. They should not be prejudiced and pass discriminatory remarks.
All Malaysians should treat one another with respect and prevent any racial disunity. They should not make a mountain out of a molehill.
We need to understand that unity is the greatest strength in any country. Religious tolerance goes a long way in creating a country solidarity, integrity and stability.
Law enforcement should be prompt when it concerns any racial issues. They should prevent the situation from going out of hand. Police officers must be diplomatic in their approach as they form the first group to meet the society at large.
The togetherness of the people of different ethnicity will promote Malaysia as a great place to leave in.
Last and foremost, thank you and Selamat Hari Merdeka Ke-52 !

Abuse
Hello, my fellow classmate, I am May.
Today, I would like to share with all of you about "abuse". First and foremost, I would like to define the words of "abuse". "Abuse" refer to the use or treatment of something that is harmful. There are various types of abuse that we can identify, for an example, child abuse, drug abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, animal abuse and so on.
What I would like to highlight here is about the child abuse. Child abuse is the physical, psychological and emotional mistreatment of children. Nowadays, we can see the escalating of the worldwide child abuse percentage although many steps have been taken to curb this negative phenomenon. In Malaysia, this situation is worsen years by years although the rules and legislation to protect children have been introduced and enforced through the introduction of the Child Act 2001 which is a Malaysian law to consolidate the Juvenile Courts Act 1947, the Women and Young Girls Protection Act 1973, and the Child Protection Act 1991.
One of the causes that lead to the child abuse are social stress. Stress brought on by the variety of the social condition like unemployment, illness, poor housing conditions and the death of a family member escalate the risk of the child abuse. According to the research done by the authorities, most of the child abuse cases are from a poverty family background where their parent are suffered from a serious social stress. The economic situation nowadays and the price hiking issues leads to the serious social stress especially among the poverty family and this raises the risk of the child abuse.
Next is the family structure itself. Refer to the research, most of the child abuse cases are from the single-parent families. Single-parent families usually earn less money than other families, so this may leads to the increased of the child abuse cases.
Thirdly, the family background. The children who are brought up in a violent environment will then learn violent behavior from their parents and then grow up to abuse their own children. Therefore, it is important to ensure that parents should be a good role model for their children.
Until now, people keeps questioning about how could they, the parents abuse their own children ? Most of us are come out with a general conclusion that parents who abuse their children are mental disorders, yet most of them are not suffered from any mental illnesses. According to the research done by the counselor, most of the parents who abuse children are tend to be socially isolated. This means that they are not mixed up very well with the people at surroundings and most of them only have little contact with friends or relatives. Thus, we can say that they had lead a stressful lifestyle where they shut themselves up and do not have their ways to unwind until they comes up with abuse their children. Therefore, what I would like to emphasize on is the importance to having a healthy and balance lifestyle where parents should manage their time properly so that they would have a balance between their careers and their children. In the same time, parents also should have a proper ways to unwind to ensure that they would not be too stressful or they can even try to share their problems with their friends or they can asking help from the counselor.
Last but not least, I hope that this child abuse phenomenon can be curbed completely by enforce the rules and legislation rigidly. In my point of view, it is useless that we have the rules but we are not practice it rigidly. Besides, everyone who alert about such child abuse cases, for an example, the neighbours, relatives and friends should inform the authorities immediately to prevent more and more children become the victims of violence. In the same time, government also should make sure that they would be able to response immediately to the child abuse cases after been informed.
Thank you.
