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 !

Its time to change..

My life before is totally different than my recently life..
Everything is different..
From the smallest thing to the biggest thing..
My attitude,the way I study,the way I think and everything..
I've become more matured..
Learn a new things and rely on myself..
If before this I'm a kind of person that study at a last minute,

Everyday I sleep late..
I can cope with my study,tutorials and everything..
So,if I want to succeed,I've to work hard..
Study smart not study hard..
That's the recipe to gain success..
So its time to change..

2nd edition

This is the second time that I will actually post something in this page. Quite a long time since I last wrote anything here. My last post was a mere reflection on my experience for the first few weeks I have been here in this prestigious university. In a blink of an eye,this is already the 8th week my compatriots and I have been here. Its quite ironic,as a lot of things changed,a lot of other things still remains the same. For instant,though it is more than a month since the first day we registered here,it should be noted that we are still doing the same old thing that we do back in school,which is studying. The venue may have change,but there is no difference basically. On my first post, I reflected on how lucky I am to be here. Well,after this past few weeks,that lucky feeling keeps on growing in my heart. The multi-racial situation here has help me a lot in improving my soft-skills. I would like to thank Puan Hanani for giving us the chance to talk and share with the whole class on any topics related to any current issue,either domestically or internationally. Through this,it helps us to develop our speaking abillities as well as improving ou English language.It is already the month of Ramadhan,where all Muslims will be fasting. Thus I would like to take this opportunity to wish all Muslims a happy fasting month.

What Merdeka Means To Me...

I was born 32 years after 'merdeka'. I did not get a chance to hear the first shout of the 'merdeka' in 1957, but I know it was very spiritful, wonderful, and energetic shouted that malaysia ever heard. People stand together without think about race, blood, religion and skin colours. All shouted in one voice and all saying one magical word called 'merdeka'. full of honour, happiness and they were united.

Nowadays Malaysia has transform to be a develop and modern country. Lots of changes made to ensure Malaysia success. New technologies, new economic principles and a care of social justice is the key of Malaysia modernization and development. All people live in harmonies, tolerance and respect one another. They also help each other in sincerely.

Seriously, I’m very proud to be Malaysian. Live in this peace multiracial country, make me feel happy, cheerful and not feel alone or isolated. I hope Malaysia keep going trough success and glory. Let us stand together and make this hope become reality. Stand as one Malaysia…!!! merdeka..!!!

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)

UNIVERSITY LIFE

I'm a STPM student.This is my first experience staying in hostel and also first time staying away from my family members.It is a very new and beneficial experience for me. One month's campus life has thaught me alot. I've learnt to become more independant and not depending on others to do something.
First of all, i've prepared myself to wake up early in the morning with alarm sound. When I was at home, my mum was the who wakes me up during schooling days. As I know she had a very terrible time every morning because of me.
Secondly, campus life has thaught me to finish all my work on my own, such as washing clothes, clean my room, clean my study table and so on. As I stated before, I've learnt to move independently after enter university.
In conclusion, I've learnt and wish to learn more in my university life.
