Blinded by Uncertainty

September 22nd 2008.... Im sure BN topguns would still have something to be happy about and laugh among themselves.... Cuz even they didn't think that they will still be in power after Anwar's very strong stand of toppling the government before 16th September 2008.... But they can laugh as much as they want cuz their days are still numbered i would like to believe..... so does every other Malaysian...... Leaving that agenda aside.... It has become oblivious to us of every small changes that we are all going through in our society..... a perfect example would be regarding the education system here in Malaysia..... Along with my fellow peers... I believe that education should be about producing a well-rounded person, not only reading everything from a book.... It appears that the school is the place where their socialization process takes place and happens to be very important only after their homes.... 'Study, study and study' is what every teenager or every student hates to listen because usually that is what being lambasted at their ears all the time at home..Hahaha.... Well i think that is very wrong because we have morphed into an era where students start to think(thanks to their parents and the current education system) that if they study and excel then they are free and can do anything that they please.... This is so wrong.... As equal importance of studying parents and people concerned(teachers and the Ministry) should make moral values and ethics as important.... I feel it is very important to do so because students are gonna be the future leaders of our country.... If a seed is not planted with the proper fertilizers and soil imagine how would the fruit taste like? Metaphorically speaking that is..... How would this future leaders turn out to be if they were not implanted with all these important moral values.... That is when you get leaders involved in mega corruption, unethical gestures in public(even in the parliament), sex scandals and the list can go on. Not only would this affect the students in the future... It will affect them directly also... For an example they might be addicted into drugs... Which have been rising lately.... Sadly its the smart students... those mostly from the middle or higher class... Not like the olden days where it was more popular amongst the lower class.... Why is this happening? Why is there nothing being done to curb this problem? I hope when Pakatan Rakyat comes into power they take drastic measures to ensure the perfect growth of the next generation by not letting them mature with rotting characteristics...... On July 2008, the Regent of Perak Raja Nazrin Shah said that getting a string of A's is meaningless if students fail to understand, appreciate and practice good values, and describing that excellent results as mere pakaian luaran (external appearance), there would be uneven development of human capital if students failed to inculcate good morals. "This will lead to society and the country to suffer". He also said that people with good moral values always hold firm to life principles especially in defending truth and justice. Students should be taught not to lie or rely on leaked examination papers just to obtain higher grades. He noted that while positions and posts could give one power, one would be judged by the people. "There are many people who obtained positions and posts but there are not many who die with a good name"......... This was brilliantly delivered but i regret to say there wasn't any implementation of any kind taken on His advice.....
