"The ending somehow the beginning"

Assalamualaikum

Five People Meets in Heaven has quoted “The ending would sometimes being as the beginning of life.” This portrays the ending is actually the starting point of new life. Critical Literacy has come to and end yet, the knowledge gained is forever. The syllabus nowadays normally just as a prerequisite towards the better academic result however would never inculcate the student to be a holistic high achiever if the critical literacy component is not included. It is absolute need to aware the student regardless of level of study and institutions to be critical thinker in viewing idea which finally shape the new generation a futuristic ones.

The subject has introduced me to be very meticulous in order to digest statement and any information I read. It is not to be a perfectionist however the phenomena where everyone can simply write and influence people, Critical Literacy has woken up the students to look both sides of evaluation. Not to be judgmental and biased with what has been served would certainly shift the way of thinking among the young people to get full details before make an action, to be a detailed observer.

Since there is lots of rumors spreading virally in the stream of technology advancement, again the young people should be thought to be a person with own stand in order to make them strong in the right track of life. The beginning of life would never be sincere to show which one is true and the false unless the student or young people to be exact need to read multiple sources to attain the right facts, to listen to evidence actively and blend with her or his thought for a good view.

It brings the sense of you are responsible of what you are saying and lead the student to become a professional ones someday. For the betterment, I hope the approach of better way of thinking and make a sensible action in your life besides, the lecturer also know what Critical Literacy is all about . I really enjoy the lesson in class and I am becoming aware the need to be cautious of what I am going to read in daily life-find the worthiness of facts. Finally, I really hope the CL syllabus would be continuously taught in class in order to ensure student are packed with the professional criteria for a competitive marketplace in the near future.

That's all from me for Critical Literacy

See you again

Asta la vista.. Assalamualaikum

Lack of Empathy?

Assalamualaikum everyone

In the response of voice out by Syed Umar Ariff regarding the issue of Nik Aziz and Hadi statement of BR1M by likening the recipients as an animal portrayed a serious sense of anger from the writer. The writer believes that Nik Aziz and Hadi statement are harsh and rude to be used as he is a renowned leader as those people who promote Islamic qualities in real life. I agree with the statement saying that the leader should not using the harsh words to the public as stated by Peter Ducker “Management is doing things right, leadership is doing the right things” however, I do believe Nik Aziz does not mean that way.

It is true that to likening the recipients as animals to object the government should not be applied since Malaysians are very sensitive in term of wordings in speech especially when it comes from a pious public figure in Malaysia. However Malaysia should research the exact meaning and full statement from him in order to judge him. This does not bring the mean I am defending him as I admit BR1M is likely helping the citizen to curb with the critical economic instability that lead to high living cost. According to Syed Umar response too, he oftenly refer Nik Aziz and Hadi statement as lack of emphaty in a  harsh way where he likely to be biased and to persuade people to object Nik Aziz statement.

The issue of lack of emphaty is not a big matter to be highlighted instead. It is how the government took an action plan where helping by giving money at the end would not really help Malaysians to shift the status of life. It is what Chinese proverb has said , “Teach a man how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” Again I am not objecting what did government do but sometimes the action plan is not really appropriate to change the Malaysians to be responsible to improve their life especially Malays, the owner of this land.

Last but not least, it is essential to consider the media who might having ploy with any party in order to persuade people to condemn Nik Aziz and Hadi’s lack of emphaty as both of them are from the opposition. It is a possibility if any third party who would create havoc between the politician to interrupt the peace and harmony in Malaysia. As I have said , Nik Aziz might has been delivered the different meaning -Kelantanese way of criticize people in old version which sometimes bring the sense of sarcasm but interpreted as being rude due to the slang use as the disparity between district mother tongue would differentiate the real message.

In a conclusion, it is how Malaysians should look thoroughly to any statement given by the public figure whether it is from the government party or the opposition as people would make mistake. It is normal to see any party give different point of view but how the people digest the word is important in spite of the reality of human being would have own thought, Nik Aziz and Hadi too should learn more to not be too direct as some people would misjudge the exact code.

Assalamualaikum and have a nice day!
