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.

Good luck

Finally our hectic tutorial classes had ended. However the hectic life was not ended yet. We have to prepare for our Problem Based Learning (PBL) and presentations. The marks will contribute a large portion of the marks for our final. So we have to do our best to get the highest mark as possible. Throughout the work, we have to cooperate among the members in our group. It teaches us to build team work and the way to organize. It is a good way of learning as we learn how to communicate, how to organize and how to present. We are lucky because we, the UKM law students were exposed with the moot in our first year. Although it is a bit tough but I'm sure that it will gives us a lot of new knowledge and experiences. It also teaches us to learn independently. What can I say is it is a good approach to make us think and learn by our own. The mentality about 'spoon feed' must be changed. Now, it's time for us to work independently and not become too depend to the lecturer. Before I leave, good luck to all and hope we can perform the task given successfully. Have a wonderful holiday....

A Wonderful and Busy Holiday

Hurray…..finally reach holiday for celebrating Hari Raya, I am in my hometown now. This time I can stay at home for a long time, haha. The scenario in my hometown is very crowded. The road is always full of car, this scene is seldom occurred as my hometown is a small village and always remains peaceful as well as tranquility. Besides, my house is also very noisy because my father is operating a grocery shop. Therefore, my siblings and I are busy to help parents. All of us are working together happily.
Even though is in holiday, but I realize that I still need to work very hard because I have many assignment to pass up when the holiday is over. Sigh……..in holiday, still cannot have a great rest. Besides, I have to strive to study because our PBL (problem based learning) is coming soon. Our PBL will be a mooting. This is my first time to go moot court and proceed in the court. Therefore, I am very nervous and afraid because I would practice like a lawyer for first time. In addition, I put in many effort and take it seriously as the PBL carrying a lot of marks in my result. I need to study a lot of chapter s in next semester because the extent of PBL includes many things that we have never learned in lecture.
Along the process of PBL, we are divided into many group. We need to cooperate and discuss with my members in order to complete our mooting successfully. In the process of mixing with my member, I found that each people have different type of characteristic . So, I learn that I have to use different way when I mingle with different people. I also realize that I need to improve my communication skill to strengthen my public relationship. This is because I still have some distance with my friends as I am too quiet.
Furthermore, I also busy to prepare for the Pesta Tanglung as it is coming soon. As a treasurer, I need to prepare a budget and account for the event. Besides, I am in charged to make coupon for the event. Fortunately, my friends give a full commitment and help to me, so I was completed in making the coupon.
Finally, I feel very happy as I can reunion with my family members in this holiday. Even I still leave a lot of things to do, but I believe that I can handle it very well.

LET THE PICTURE DO ALL THE TALKING

A Change To Face Future Challenges

After a few months in UKM,i think i cannot adapt myself to lifestyle here.This is because i found that i cannot manage myself. My biggest problem is lack of self disipline.I still remember last time i sang karaoke for twelve hours per day.The statistic is a new record in my life.The important thing is that actually i suffered sorethroat and felt not well on that day,but i still insist to going out with my friends.After that day, i was sick for a whole week.From this incident,i found that i am too stress on entertainment.I am really regret of my inconsiderate action.So,i learn the important of self-management from this incident.

Besides,i always have not enough sleep in UKM and l have a deep dark cirle.This is because i always do the tutorial question during the midnight time as i fail to manage my time wisely.Everyday i come out in the morning and reach my room again in the evening.Later,i will have a rest.But after have a rest,i seldom do my homework.On the contrary,i will chat with my friends and waste my time by doing nothing.At the end,i only rush to do my homework.Even in the weekend,i always go out with my friends for shopping and relaxing.Besides,i will go to my sister's house to enjoy my weekend.I will only start my revision on the sunday's night and learn very less.Actually,when i rethink and refresh my behavior, i am really dissapointed about myself.I am very worse at my time management.

Actually,i do not know what am i doing.My behavior is totally different since i entered UKM.I found that i lost myself already.I forgot myself identity as a student.I am confused about my objective to study in university.

But i realise that i must change all these bad attitute in order to face the challenge in the future.I should always remind myself an obligation of a student.Besides,i hope i can adapt better in my faculty because i found that i cannot show my naturality when i mingle with my course mates.This is because my friends always said that i am a quiet person,on the contrary,i am very noisy....haha
