Kerana Dasar negara

1) Kenapa perlunya dasar yang sama untuk 1negara? sudah tentu untuk memastikan setiap rakyat akan mempunyai standard dan layanan yang sama, tidak kira taraf ekonomi, latar belakang politik, pendidikan, bangsa dan lain-lain. Kesan jangka panjang adalah ke arah melahirkan generasi yang mempunyai pengalaman yang sama dan objektif yang sama dalam negara yang sama, sudah tentu ke arah membina negara yang lebih baik berdasarkan cita-cita negara.

2) Namun, ada beberapa perkara dasar yang berbeza, istimewa dan berkuota; bergantung kepada sasaran jangka panjang sesebuah negara. Contohnya, Dasar Ekonomi Baru (DEB 1970-1990) yang bertujuan untuk menyusun semula struktur sosio-ekonomi masyarakat dalam negara pada ketika itu. Walaupun hasilnya tidak mencapai sasaran yang dijangka, atas faktor-faktor ketirisan dan ke'tidak-bertanggungjawaban' sesetengah kelompok ahli masyarakat, ahli politik, dan lain-lain mereka yang berkepentingan, DEB sebenarnya meninggalkan kesan dan pengajaran yang penting untuk generasi hari ini mengambil iktibar. Masalahnya, tidak ramai yang mampu meng'ekstrak' pengalaman DEB dalam bentuk pembelajaran yang positif dan membina.

3) Dalam soal pendidikan, perlukah dasar yang berbeza-beza untuk memuaskan hati semua pihak kononnya atas dasar hak kemanusiaan (human right) atau atas slogan 1Malaysia, Rakyat didahulukan? Tidak kah kita belajar apa-apa daripada sejarah DEB misalnya? Di mana generasi yang punya Jiwa besar yang tinggi dan mulia, dengan asas-asas nilai rasa empati melihat orang lain susah, dan bangga melihat orang lain senang? Sikap ke'Aku'an (generasi X) yang membebankan mata dengan tirisnya asas-asas kehidupan yang bersumber Al-hikmah.

4) Adakah generasi Pemimpin hari ini, yang lahir daripada Dasar Pendidikan 1957 (Laporan Razak), adalah generasi yang sudah lupa dengan hasil kepelbagaian yang diakibatkan oleh dasar pendidikan pada hari itu? Atau sebenarnya, mereka masih ingat, dan ingin meneruskan kepelbagaian dan perbezaan 'taraf' yang semakin jauh ini, di antara satu ahli masyarakat dengan ahli masyarakat yang lain. Sebut sahaja masalah dalam masyarkat. Soal perpaduan tidak pernah selesai, soal remaja (generasi Y) yang semakin liar, soal penekanan keagamaan yang semakin rapuh, dan lain-lain lagi...

5) Ya, kejayaan hari ini adalah hasil dasar pada masa itu (1957); dan begitu juga kegagalan hari ini, adalah hasil dasar pada masa itu. Rata-ratanya, adalah umat dari generasi Baby-boomers dan generasi X yang pada hari ini menjadi Pemimpin negara dan Pendesak/Pekerja negara. Kontradiksi yang dilalui oleh dua generasi ini pula akan mengawal, dan membina Dasar negara hari ini untuk diwariskan dan memberi kesan terus kepada generasi Y yang gaya hidupnya adalah jauh berbeza dari dua generasi sebelumnya. (rujuk wiki). Bolehkah dipercayai mereka tidak akan melakukan kesilapan yang sama? Itu pun kalau sedar berlakunya kesilapan.

6) Hari ini, dasar negara kelihatan semakin tidak bijaksana dan bersifat jangka pendek dan tidak mempunyai kesinambungan walaupun pemimpin kerajaan menyatakan terdapat kesinambungannya. Golongan pendesak juga mengkehendakkan dasar yang bukan dasar, apabila semua orang boleh mendasari apa sahaja, termasuk dalam pendidikan, agama, dan lain-lain yang liberal dan terbuka seluas-luasnya sehingga mengabaikan prinsip dan asas pembinaan tamadun negara dan sejarah bangsa Malaysia. Sangat membimbangkan, apabila melihat di sana-sini, program yang dijalankan kerajaan, beralasan untuk menambah baik; mengakibatkan 'generation gap' semakin luas. Kalau dulu, generation gap adalah bersandarkan pada tahun kelahiran yang berbeza, namun, pada masa ini, (dengan dasar dan program-program yang dilihat ini), pada akan tahun-tahun mendatang, kita akan melihat generation gap adalah lebih kompleks dengan gap juga bersandarkan pada generasi yang sama.

7) Ya, bukan lagi antara kelompok muda dan kelompok tua; tapi, perpecahan mental dan ideal di antara kelompok muda dan muda; kelompok muda dan tua; serta kelompok tua dan tua. Hakikat ini semakin parah apabila yang kaya semakin kaya, yang miskin terus semakin miskin. begitu jgua yang pandai semakin pandai, yang bodoh semakin bodoh, yang elit, terus-terusan menjadi elit, yang kampungan, terus-terusan kekampungan...


Mungkin ini adalah andaian dan mimpi igauan buruk penulis semata-mata...
Mungkin perasaan ini terlalu sensitif dan bersangka buruk semata-mata...

Mungkin juga sebaliknya... Penulis juga adalah hasil dari Dasar negara...

Teachers' stress


Teachers in a trap

By PRIYA KULASAGARAN

From filing paperwork to organising events and managing irate parents, teachers today are feeling pressured from everything else — save the act of teaching itself.
LIKE many of her fellow educators, Kelantanese primary school teacher Mazi* has a few gripes about her work.
The main issue for me is getting pupils to take an interest in learning,” she says.
“Some of them are living well below the poverty line, and their parents are not too bothered about whether they do well in school or not.
“I feel like half my time in class is spent motivating these children instead of teaching them.”
She adds that her school’s physical infrastructure serves to add to pupils’ disinterest.
“I’m not talking about newer buildings or better classrooms - just basics like functioning school toilets.
“When the learning environment is not conducive, it makes it all the more harder to get pupils to care about education.”
More than enough: A 2005 survey found that seven out of 10 teachers suffer from stress, one of the main reasons of which is too much paper work that have little to do with teaching.
But Mazi sees these problems as part and parcel of her job.
“At the end of the day, teaching is all about nuturing students and achieving this with whatever resources you have,” she says.
It seems that for most, however, the burdens of teaching may be just too much to bear.
Just earlier this month, it was reported that teachers were considering holding a demonstration to highlight their plight of being laden with “irrelevant work”.
National Union of the Teaching Profession president Hashim Adnan was quoted saying that overzealous state education department heads and excessive paper work has affected teaching quality.
‘’We are mostly doing clerical work in schools and among our duties include collecting irrelevant data, attending courses, organising programmes and doing correspondence work.
‘’Also, since some schools were now Sekolah Berprestasi Tinggi, we are required to do plenty of documentation work every day ... we are unable to focus in class,’’ Hashim said.
Plans for the protest have since been shelved, as the NUTP has made arrangements with the Education Ministry and is scheduled to meet Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin to resolve these issues.
Suffice to say, these grouses have been brought up by the union time and time again.
In a survey carried out by the NUTP in 2005, it was reported that almost seven out of 10 teachers say that they are under stress.
When contacted for this article, the NUTP declined any comment.
Duty juggling
For some teachers, pushing paper appears to be the most tedious aspect of their working day.
“Aside from marking students’ essays and homework, we have to fill out their personal records, health records and various assessment reports,” says secondary school teacher Sharon*.
“Activities such as the Nilam reading programme may sound good in theory, but in reality they just provide an abundance of new forms to fill up.
“In order to be able to cope, I sometimes ask school prefects or class monitors to help me fill in the reports — it’s not something I’m proud of, but it leaves me time to do some actual teaching.”
Currently posted in a boarding school, Wati* says that organising school events takes up too much time.
Teachers have to balance the difficult task of managing parents’ expectations for a string of A’s and instilling a love for learning in their students.
“We have to coordinate sports days, graduation days, camps, competitions — all of which are taxing.
“While the bigger events do hold relevance for the students, a good deal of these activities fail to achieve much besides pomp and an excuse for students to be out of class,” she says.
Yeo* says that it is not uncommon for teachers to juggle various roles at one go.
“Although my teachers’ training option was English, I now teach History in addition to my English classes,” she says.
“Under the teaching of Mathematics and Science in English policy (PPSMI), I was also roped in to help the Mathematics teacher because her command of English was quite poor.
“I also act as the adviser of the school’s English society and volleyball team — this involves staying back late in school at least twice a week.”
Yeo adds that the responsibilities given have left her with little time to focus on developing her skills.
“I barely have time to prepare my lesson plans at the moment.
“At the very least, I think that teachers should be given roles that are relevant to their interests and expertise; that way, they can focus on being good at a particular area for the benefit of their students.”
Parental pressure
In the NUTP survey mentioned, it was also found that a whopping 83% of respondents citied parents and students as main sources of stress.
According to primary school teacher Tan*, the results are hardly surprising as teachers bear the brunt of blame for producing less-than-stellar students.
“In addition to pressure from the administration to ensure that all students make the grade, parents say we are not pushing their children hard enough academically,” she says.
“I’ve even had complaints from parents that I’m not doling out enough homework!”
Tan, who teaches in a vernacular school, adds that she is conflicted by the requirement to check off boxes instead of educating young minds.
Ideally, I want to instill the love of learning among my pupils, regardless of their ability. In reality, I have to force them to mug for examinations so that they have a string of A’s to show their parents.”
For Wiliam*, the main source of pressure comes from not being able to discipline his students.
He says that parents are too quick to blame teachers, and relates an incident which occurred in his secondary school in Selangor.
“The discipline teacher had caught a student smoking on school grounds, and the student was swiftly caned as a result,” says William.
“The next day, the teen’s father arrived demanding to see the teacher.
“Before my colleague could explain why he had punished the boy, the father proceed to hurl vulgar insults at the teacher, and even took a swing at him! Luckily, he missed.”
While William says that he does not condone corporal punishment, he places priority on maintaining school order.
“Some students just do not respond to reasoning, no matter how hard you try.
“I think what makes them bold is knowing that they’ll have their parents defending their actions,” he says.
Secondary school teacher Jamilah* agrees, saying that the teachers in her school avoid reprimanding students for the fear of parents.
“I once scolded a student for handing in her homework late, and for not putting enough effort into it.
“My reward for doing so was to get screamed at by the student’s mother.
“Now, I don’t bother whether students hand in their work or not — it just means that there are less books for me to mark,” says Jamilah.
Workplace politics
Much like at any other workplace, office politics are rampant in schools as well.
But a few teachers cast serious accusations regarding the practice of favouritism in their schools.
One teacher claims that she receives a heavier workload than most of her colleagues.
“I teach both English and Moral Studies, and I am a class teacher as well as an advisor for a student club. Plus, I’m always given the task of organising one school event after another.
It’s frustrating because I feel the workload is not being distributed evenly amongst the staff — those who are very ‘friendly’ with the headmistress seem to get away with doing much less.
She adds darkly, “I can’t help but notice that these teachers are of the same race as the headmistress.”
With almost 20 years of experience, another teacher claims that she has been passed over for promotions due to the colour of her skin.
“I don’t have any problems with my colleagues, but rather the principal,” she says.
Numerous younger teachers have moved up the ranks with ease, all of them of a certain race.
The only reason given to me so far was that I did not need a promotion because I’m doing so well in my current position.”
But as senior teacher Hasni* points out, any discussion of race is complicated in this country.
“I think that suspicion and fear are now so ingrained at all levels of our society – sadly, even among the educated,” she says.
“I’ve heard of similar claims in my school, but more often than not, it’s just a case of the teacher in question not being good enough.”
Generation gap
Like many wide-eyed young graduates, Azreen* was eager to put her theoretical knowledge to the test when she started teaching in a boarding school in Johor.
Much to her chagrin, she found that many of her senior colleagues were not interested in updating the status quo.
What I loved about teaching was the opportunity to try out ideas in engaging students.
“But some of the older teachers were not happy with my approaches in the classroom, although the students were responding really well,” says Azreen.
She adds that she felt pressured to adhere to norms that were at odds with her personal convictions.
“For instance, I insisted on speaking in English to my students, so as to encourage them to use and practise their language skills.
“As a result, I was ridiculed by other teachers who said that I had ‘forgotten’ my roots and I was too ‘Westernised’.”
After a few years of sticking it out, Azreen has since left the profession to join the corporate world.
Meanwhile, Bakar*, an assistant principal nearing retirement, has problems handling the younger generation of teachers.
What disheartens me the most is the complete lack of passion in the new crop of teachers,” he says.
They don’t bother taking any initiative or pride in doing their job well.”
Bakar says that having to constantly monitor teachers on basic tasks cuts into the time he needs for his own work.
I even have to check up on them to do things like preparing a lesson plan before stepping into class, or ensuring that they show up for co-curricular activities that they are in charge of.
“With a few notable exceptions, I have spoon-fed teachers with information and instructions just to get simple things done!” he exclaims.
Lecturer Chong* concedes that Bakar’s views hold water, as his teachers’ training college frequently receives such feedback from school principals.
It’s the attitude rather than the skills of young teachers that are giving administrators a headache,” says Chong, adding that the regimented environment in college may be a factor in causing apathy among trainees.
Bakar offers a more cynical point of view, saying that the problems plaguing the profession do not make it an attractive option for many.
The profession is one that demands sacrifice and patience, but a good number of young teachers are only in it for the want of other options,” he says.
“Unfortunately, the reality is that teaching is not exactly the top choice for most talented individuals, especially when they can get better paying jobs elsewhere.”

kisah suri rumah


A man was SICK and TIRED of going to work every day while his wife stayed home.

And further jealous of her, as she received lot of Women's Daywishes and compliments

He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed:

"Dear Lord: I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home. I want her to know what I go through. So, please allow her body to switch with mine for a day.Amen!"

Poof!!!

God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish.


The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman.
He arose,

cooked breakfast for his mate, Awakened the kids,

Set out their school clothes, Fed them breakfast,

Packed their lunches, Drove them to school, Came home and picked up the dry cleaning,

Took it to the cleaners And stopped at the bank to make a deposit,

Went grocery shopping, Then drove home to put away the groceries,

Paid the bills and balanced the check book...

He cleaned the cat's litter box and bathed the dog.

Then, it was already 1.00pm

And he hurried to make the beds...

...do the laundry...

vacuum, Dust, And sweep and mop the kitchen floor...

...Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them on the way home.

Set out milk and cookies and...


...got the kids organized to do their homework. Then,


set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing. At 4:30pm,


he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for salad...


...rolled meatballs and snapped fresh beans for supper. After supper,


He cleaned the kitchen, Ran the dishwasher.. .


...Folded laundry, Bathed the kids, And put them to bed. At 9.00pm,


He was exhausted and, though his daily chores weren't finished, he went to bed where he was expected to make love,

which he managed to get through without complaint.

The next morning,
he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said:


"Lord, I don't know what I was thinking. I was so wrong to envy my wife's being able to stay home all day. Please, Oh! Oh! Please, let us trade back. Amen!"

The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied:
"My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the way they were. You'll just have to wait NINE MONTHS, though. You got pregnant last night."

When Software Engineers feel bored

Things that software engineers do when they feeling bored..



"Sape kaco aku?"



under construction




"Bangun Pagi, Gosok Gigi, Senang Hati"
















"Gigi ku jua"


" Aku merokok. So what? aku kucing. Kau sape? "


Lori Lari Laju-Laju....

Robot Transformers kot..




Pesan Pakcik

Baru- baru ni ketika saya nak ke Surau berdekatan dgn rumah saya untuk sembahyang Isyak, seorang pak cik berjanggut putih dan berjubah putih dari jauh melemparkan senyum kepada saya. Kerana masih ada banyak waktu, saya tunggu pak cik berjanggut putih tu dan bertongkat yang tidak saya kenali itu.. Timbul di hati saya untuk jalan seiringan ke surau. 

Bila beliau hampir pada saya, kami saling memberi salam. Orangnya sudah berumur. Tiba-tiba, pak cik itu memulakan perbualan. Beliau cakap dalam bahasa Melayu dan Inggeris yang agak baik. Beliau cakap semua ayat Quran baik dan penting, tapi ada tiga surah yang beliau 'pegang' betul-betul , dan beliau nasihatkan saya supaya pegang betul-betul juga. Beliau juga nasihatkan saya supaya pesan pada anak-anak supaya pegangnya betul-betul. 

Pertama, 

kata beliau, surah Al-Fatihah. Selain penting untuk sah sembahyang, ia juga ada doa minta bantuan Tuhan dan mintak tunjukkan jalan yang betul. Mudah-mudahan dengan 'menjaga' bersungguh-sungguh surah Al-Fatihah, akan terbuka pintu bantuan dan jalan yang betul untuk kita, kata pakcik. 

Kedua, 
Surah Al-Ikhlas . Surah ini, katanya, s urah tauhid. 
Kita mesti ingat Tuhan itu Esa dan semua amalan mesti untuk-Nya. Tak guna buat baik tapi tak ikhlas. 

Ketiga,

surah Al-Kafirun , kata pak cik. Bahagian ini, menarik sikit. Pak cik tu cakap surah Al-Kafirun ada kena mengena dengan zaman sekarang, zaman globalisasi. Dalam zaman globalisasi, katanya, anak-anak saya mesti diajar supaya pegang betul-betul surah itu. Sebab, dalam zaman globalisasi, anak saya mungkin kena kerja atau belajar sampai ke Amerika atau ke mana-mana. 

Kalau dia pegang pada surah Al-Kafirun, insya-Allah, dia akan selamat, kata pak cik. Dia akan bergaul dengan orang beragama lain, tapi dia sedar 'untukmu agamamu, untukku agamaku' . 
Betul juga, fikir saya. Kemudian, pak cik cakap ada satu lagi perkara yang saya mesti pegang. Orang Islam, 

katanya, mesti ada tiga kekuatan. 


Pertama, 
kekuatan minda 
Minda, kata pak cik, ialah ilmu. Orang Islam mesti ada ilmu, termasuk ilmu moden, ilmu teknologi, ilmu teknologi maklumat (IT) dan > sebagainya kerana ilmu-ilmu itu perlu untuk hidup. 

Kedua, 

kekuatan hati 
Hati ialah iman, kata pak cik. Hati orang Islam mesti kuat supaya betapa banyak sekali pun ilmunya, dia sedar siapa yang lebih berkuasa. Bila ilmu ada iman, barulah ilmu dan hidup jadi betul. Kala u minda kuat tapi hati tak kuat, maknanya kekuatan tak seimbang dan ilmu boleh rosakkan iman, kata pak cik... 

Ketiga, 

kuat fizikal 
Pertama-pertama, kalau tubuh badan lemah, susah ilmu nak masuk dalam minda, kata pak cik. Kala u pun ada ilmu dan ada iman, jika tubuh badan tak kuat, susah nak beramal. Maknanya, kekuatan masih tak seimbang, katanya

finding the right attitude

A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the gem of their eyes. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for office so he asked his wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. His wife, preoccupied in the kitchen totally forgot the matter.
The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle fascinated by its color and drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed, the mother hurried him to the hospital. He died.

The mother was stunned! She was terrified how she was going to face her husband. When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just five words.

QUESTIONS:
1. What were the five words?
2. What is the implication of this story?

If you were the father, what would your words be when you meet the wife?
If you were the mother, what would your words be when you meet the husband?


ANSWER:
The husband just said "I am with you Darling".

The husband's totally unexpected reaction is a proactive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life...
There is no point in finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he had taken time to keep the bottle away, this would not have happened. No one is to be blamed. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her. If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer problems in the world.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears. And you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think.

MORAL OF THE STORY:
Very often we spend time in asking who is responsible or whom to be blamed, whether in a relationship, in a job, in school, in the family, or with the people we know when things go wrong. And, with this mental attitude, everything there after is bound to fail. Blame is the start of divide and discord. Blame never concord. But it is indeed very difficult to practice like in the story above because blame is anger or hate-based. And it blinds ! The mind justifies when it is clouded with blame.

“Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference." – Winston Churchill

mom, can i borrow RM 50?

A woman came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find her 5-year old son waiting for her at the door.

SON: 'Mummy, may I ask you a question?'

MUM: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the woman.

SON: 'Mummy, how much do you make an hour?'

MUM: 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the woman said angrily.

SON: 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?'

MUM: 'If you must know, I make RM 50 an hour.'

SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down.

SON: 'Mummy, may I please borrow RM 25?'

The mother was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I don't work hard everyday for such childish frivolities.'

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

The woman sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?

After about an hour or so, the woman had calmed down, and started to think:

Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that RM 25 and he really didn't ask for money very often . The woman went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.

'Are you asleep, son?' She asked.

'No Mummy, I'm awake,' replied the boy.

'I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier' said the woman. 'It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the RM 25 you asked for.'

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. 'Oh, thank you Mummy!' he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.

The woman saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.

The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his mother.

'Why do you want more money if you already have some?' the mother grumbled.

'Because I didn't have enough, but now I do,' the little boy replied.

'Mummy, I have RM 50 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.'

The mother was crushed. She put his arms around her little son, and she begged for his forgiveness. 



>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


Fikrah:-


1) It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that RM 50 worth of your time with someone you love. 

2) If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of hours. But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

kisah 3 pinggan


Andaikan 3 individu berbeza meminjam sebiji pinggan daripada Kita.. Selang beberapa tempoh masa, individu pertama memulangkan pinggan tersebut dalam keadaan bersih cantik tanpa sebarang kecacatan.. Lalu Kita pun terus meletakkannya di atas rak pinggan mangkuk seperti keadaan asalnya..
Individu kedua pula memulangkan pinggan tersebut dlm keadaannya yang masih kotor; tidak berbasuh.. Pinggan tersebut akan Kita basuh sehingga bersih, kemudian barulah ianya diletakkan di tempat yg sepatutnya..
Individu ketiga pula memulangkan pinggan tersebut dalam keadaan pecah bersepai.. Tidak boleh dibezakan lagi bentuknya antara pinggan mahupun serpihan kaca.. Tiada nilainya lagi.. Kita tiada pilihan lain selain menghumbankannya ke dlm tong sampah yg hina..
Begitulah jua halnya dgn Allah Taala.. Jika Kita kembali kepadaNya dalam keadaan bersih, elok, tanpa kekotoran dosa, maka Allah akan terus meletakkan Kita di tempat yang baik Dan tempat yg selayaknya bagi Kita.. Iaitu syurga..
Namun jika Kita kembali ke hadratNya dlm keadaan kotor dgn dosa, Allah akan ‘basuh’ Kita sebersih-bersihnya di dlm api neraka sebelum memasukkan Kita ke dlm syurga..
Tetapi jika Kita kembali kepadaNya dlm keadaan yg rosak imannya, sehingga tidak dpt dibezakan antara iman dengan kufur, maka Allah tidak akan teragak2 utk menghumbankan Kita ke dlm neraka jahannam yang hina, ibarat pinggan yg pecah; tiada nilai lagi.....

>>> Hakikatnya, seorang personel tidak akan membentuk pasukan. (One man does'nt make a team) Sekali lagi, saya memohon maaf atas apa yang berlaku sepanjang tahun ini. Saya percaya tindakan saya adalah benar dari kaca mata saya dan pasukan saya. Tempoh yang diberi untuk saya melaksanakan manifesto saya mungkin tidak berapa lama lagi...

>>> InsyaAllah, yang baik, yang sederhana, yang buruk semuanya datang dari kami. HAkikatnya, Allah taala lah yang maha pemberi petunjuk dan hidayah.

Ramai yang mengetahui, lebih gemar mengambil sikap berdiam; tunggu dan lihat... dan sering juga mengambil sikap: "biarlah... nanti ok lah. tu... Bagilah masa dan ruang..." Itu bagi yang tahu.. Bagi yang tidak mengetahui, dan mungkin tidak mengambil peduli, biarkan sahaja... tidak mahu mencampuri urusan... mungkin akan mengeruhkan lagi suasana...

Ini antara sikap yang terdapat dalam masyarakat dan komuniti kita... Soalnya, apa peranan yang boleh dimainkan untuk kita menjadi berkesan dan bermanfaat kepada masyarakat?

Persoalan ini AMAT Penting kerana:

1) Orang yang paling baik adalah yang memberi manfaat kepada orang lain. (mencari bekalan pahala untuk hari akhir nanti). Bagaimana diri kita?

2) Mahukah kita menjadi manusia yang; "datang tidak menambah, pergi tidak berkurang?" (Apa beza manusia ini dengan mayat yang harus dikebumikan?)

3) Manusia yang memberi manfaat lebih baik daripada yang tidak berbuat apa-apa. DAN adakah yang tidak berbuat apa-apa itu lebih baik daripada yang merosakkan atau menyusahkan dan membebankan? Sedangkan setiap sesuatu yang dilakukan pasti akan punya risiko, susah-payah dan beban tanggungjawab? (bukankah manusia yang dipanggil KHALIFAH diutus atas muka bumi untuk memikul tanggungjawab serta menambah baik?)

4) Mengambil pendirian untuk berbuat sesuatu secara terbuka dan rasmi- adalah jauh lebih baik daripada bercakap-cakap di belakang? Mengata-ngata dan 'mengumpat'; juga ada kedengaran... ada di kelompok sana... ada di kelompok sini... (alahai... cikgu..)

5) Lontaran suatu idea perubahan untuk kebaikan itu memerlukan kerjasama daripada keseluruhan warga komuniti. DAN ini suatu tugas yang cukup SUKAR memandangkan masing-masing punya kepentingan peribadi untuk DIPERTAHANKAN... (kita lupa bahawa idea tidak semestinya diterima; tidak juga perlu logika akal fikiran; tidak juga perlu kesegeraan; hanya percambahan minda...)

Marilah kita menyuarakan apa yang tersurat dan tersirat dengan hati yang terbuka dan menerima perbezaan pendapat sebagai suatu rahmat. Senyum-angguk tidak bererti bersetuju; geram-marah tidak bererti membangkang; diam-sepi tidak bererti tidak peduli;

Hanya kita yang mampu mengubah dan menambah baik apa yang berlaku pada diri kita dan di sekeliling kita. InsyaAllah, Tuhan juga akan membantu untuk memudahkan urusan atas apa yang kita usahakan. Mungkin hari ini, mungkin esok, mungkin hari akhir nanti... apa yang disemai, itulah yang akan dituai...

Lihat keliling kita... Bangunan-alam flora-murid-guru-staf sokongan-ibubapa-masyarakat; Hargai mereka sebagai aset yang berharga;

Akhir kalam, SELAMATKAN KELUARGA KITA...




KOMEN DAN ULASAN:


Salam,
Saya telah membaca kertas cadangan cikgu. Satu cadangan yang bernas hasil pemerhatian seorang guru yang kritis dan inovatif. Mungkin ia lebih sesuai disalurkan melalui saluran yang betul (KGKT SMKTPG)supaya pandangan dan pendapat cikgu diajukan secara profesional. Paling tidak segala kepincangan yang diLIHAT atau diPERHATIKAN tidak sekadar menjadi bacaan umum tetapi diketahui oleh pihak yang sewajarnya. Biarlah "yang elok beritahu kawan, yang kurang beritahu kami." Teruskan usaha-usaha ISLAH (pembaikan)ini.

terima kasih atas komen cikgu...

Saya sebenarnya, telah memanjangkan dokumen ini kepada pengerusi KGKT SMKTPG sebelum ini.
Ini hanyalah tindakan dan perkongsian susulan daripada saya yang tak seberapa ini untuk tatapan umum para pembaca, warga SMKTPG.
Tujuannya- untuk percambahan minda dan mendapatkan respon pandangan rakan-rakan yang lain untuk penambahbaikan bersama.

Segala input yang konstruktif adalah sangat-sangat dihargai.
terima kasih sekali lagi.

Kertas cadangan yang baik..Fakir rasa cadangan itu boleh menjadi kenyataan apabila orang empunya cadangan itu menggerakkannya dengan menjadi pemimpin Kelab...saya menyokong...Fakir sanggup menjadi buruh paksa jika ada peminpin yang berjiwa rakyat....

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Saya pun berfikiran seperti fakir. Fikrah Imayu mungkin dapat menyumbang sesuatu kepada kebajikan dan kemajuan guru2 SMKTPG. Yang penting KERJASAMA...

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Fikrah Imayu berkata...

Saya amat maklum dan memahami bahawa apa yang tertulis sama ada yang tersurat dan tersirat ini, TELAH dan MASIH diusahakan oleh pengurusan sekolah dan pengurusan kelab yang terdahulu dan sedia ada.


Soalnya, kenapa permasalahan ini masih berterusan dan seolah-olah sangat-sangat perlahan untuk berubah ke arah kebaikan? sedangkan pemimpin tersebut sangat berkaliber dan kuat berkerja?

Saya berpendapat,
1) Permasalahan ini tidak dikongsi oleh semua. Masih ramai merasakan "ok jer sekarang ni..." Ini golongan yang dah 'BIASA' dengan keadaan sekarang; dan merasakan ini tidak melibatkan mereka.

2) MELEPASKAN TANGGUNGJAWAB kepada pengerusi, AJK, dan pihak pentadbiran. Maka, kita perhatikan BEBAN tugas KELAB tidak dipikul bersama-sama. Ibarat kata- kerja tanam pokok taknak; hasil buah nak! atau 'Makan ramai-ramai; bayar sorang-sorang': SIKAP KE'AKU'AN melebihi segalanya.\

Maknanya, PEMIMPIN datang bersilih ganti. YANG PENTING - sokongan dan dokongan DARIPADA ahli...

Pemimpin sebenarnya bertindak sebagai pencetus dan penggalak; yang buat kerja- sepatutnya adalah ahli-ahli... bukan pemimpin tu jugak!!! AMaCAM??? ADA BERANI???

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Meme mcm tu la sikap manusia. Dari zaman universiti pun sama berdasarkan pengalaman saya la. Kalau kita buat lebih2 katanya poyo. Kalau tak buat katanya tak buat keje. Keadaan dilema ni la yang buatkan orang tak bermotivasi....
