In The Minds of Young Malaysians

Sometimes, there is a thinking whether we are talking too much politics

The Blogsites, there is an increasing popularity of blogsites, many juicy stuff in these blogsites, information is too juicy to print by mainstream media, politicians getting into the act of blogging, some have even gone U-tubing;

In the Current Scenario, it is an Exciting times for reporters and even bloggers, trying times for editors and publisher, more political-driven news, more people want to talk about the past & the future;

There is a need to Write with Responsibility. It is a must in a multi-racial country, must be conscious of impact if news stories are slanted for the benefit of only certain communities, recent experience have shown that heavily- slanted writing can get people in trouble, it is nice to read about who is in trouble but when one gets in trouble, it is certainly not nice to be in his or her shoes.

 Looking at the Future Ahead, news organisation need to be more multi-racial, eliminate stereotyped writing about a particular community, need to push for the emergence of Bangsa Malaysia of united and tolerant Malaysians.

A “Stateless person” means a person who is not considered as a national by any State under the operation of its law. 

Brief Background on Indian Communities whose births have not been Registered, as at March 2005 there are  20,000 Indian women without IC nor marriage certificates.

What are the Political & Economic Implication?  These are wasted human capitals and wasted state and federal resources. There is a raise in antisocial activities and crimes. While all of them could be potential voters.

There is a need to eliminating the Causes of Statelessness.

Despite the Technical Causes, there is a need to Reduce Red-tape / Administrative practices for the NRD to take more proactive measures. Above all there is a need for Political Will to eliminate statelessness, especially to Education & bring out the Awareness on the problem.

There is a cry for Political Parties to help to advocate for a review on nationality procedures by making sure that it conforms to international standards. The government and politicians need to establishment of a dedicated team to focus on this issues. There is an appeal to network & support NGO’s working on this issue and further more raise awareness in their constituents.

It is an urgent call to advocate for speedy resolution of individual cases from the constituents of the people’s representatives.

We are all born educated but we were sent to school to become uneducated. The word education came from the Latin root word “educer” which means ‘bring it out’.

However, we went to school to ‘load it in’ rather then ‘bring it out’ – as best we were learning only what others have discovered. There is a big difference between Intellect – descriptive information and Intelligence – in born knowingness.

If one never makes mistake he will never learn – but only protecting his ego.

The history of successful people, many has hit right down to at bottom before they success – this awakened them and they are prepared to do any kind of job to succeed.

The founder of united motor works, Mr Chia Yee Soh who came form China with sandals and worked in a bicycle shop; he then became a self learned mechanic. He opened his own bicycle shop, and then started to repair motorcycle, also self-learned.

This brings out the second point: Challenging our capability – this is the the only way to advance.

Successful people do not wait for others to teach. In fact, all multi-millionaire did it even without any formal education e.g. Late Tan Sri Dato’ Loh Boon Siew can’t even sign his worn name in English.

Do we know who we are? Are we capitalizing on our capabilities?

Late Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong shared in a TV interview that his secret of success: what ever other contractors do not want to do, or can not do, I do.

Many people go for the easy thing and easy money, but with the expense of knowing their true capability.

What made millionaires successful is that, they did not do all the work; they used their intelligence to generate health.

Who is our best teacher? The mistakes we made.
