Cikgu vs Pensyarah

assalamualaikum..

Pertama sekali sekadar meluahkan perasaan, tidak pula mengadu. Bosan sebab seringkali mengemas kini blog dalam Bahasa Inggeris sedang bahasa ibunda adalah Bahasa Malaysia. Nanti mesti ada yang mengata..

"ish ish ish, macam mana nak memperbaiki bahasa Inggeris sedang diri malas mempraktikkannya"

Niat tersemat dari awal pembinaan blog adalah kerana semangat memperbaiki Bahasa Inggeris. Sungguh! Tak tipu. Malah sehingga kini penulisan di blog merupakan salah satu alternatif memperbaiki bahasa Inggeris.Tapi kadang-kala tersentap juga dibenak fikiran, apa salahnya sekali-sekala mengemas kini blog dalam bahasa Malaysia. Lebih santai dan lebih selesa. 

Panjang lebar pengenalan entri. Sedikit pun tidak terkene tempiasnya dengan mauduk entri saya kali ini. Cikgu vs Pensayarah. Apa yang saya hendak tekankan cuma perbezaan antara cikgu dan pensyarah dari segi peranannya.

Sering kedengaran suara-suara sumbang yang memperkotak-katikkan peranan pensyarah serta sikap mereka mempraktikkan "mencari sebelum bertanya". Intipati peranan mereka memanglah berbeza sedang konteks pelaksanaannya juga berbeza.

Berbezanya kedua-dua peranan tersebut adalah disebabkan tahap pemikiran serta kemampuan berdikari anak-anak didik mereka yang berbeza. Takkanlah kanak-kanak berumur 10 tahun diminta membuat kajian dahulu sebelum mengesahkan jawapan? Nah, sebab itulah jawapan diberi siap-siap. Berbeza pula dengan mereka yang sudah mencapai umur majoriti yakni mahasiswa dan mahasiswi. Kalau sudah bergelar mahasiswa-siswi tapi masih bersandarkan pertolongan pensyarah tanpa usaha mengkaji terlebih dahulu, usah iktiraf diri warga universiti lah.

Kelakar juga melihat fenemona mahasiswa/siswi yang bergantung seratus peratus pada nota slide yang diberikan pensyarah. Fenomena seperti ini memang biasa berlaku masa zaman asasi. Sedang itu, pensyarah pula dimaki dan diherdik, ditomahnya pula fitnah mengatakan pensyarah pemalas, sekadar bagi point bagi satu-satu subtopik. 

"eh cik adik, sudah la engkau menuntut ilmu dengan si dia, kau herdik pula dia dengan kenyataan tak berotak kau tu. Pegi la buat rujukan pada buku!"

"Di sekolah, pendidikan ibarat makanan yang sudah siap disediakan, tetapi di Universiti, pendidikan ibarat bahan-bahan di dapur, mahasiswa mahasiswi lah yang harus menyediakan sedang pensyarah sebagai pembibing"

Actions Speak Louder Than Words.

But I guess in a case of United States of America and Israeli, it ought to be like this..

"Words speak louder than actions". o.O ?? err..

U.S and International Prosecutions

Isn't it funny when one of the country that strongly uphold human rights, at the same time strongly opposed to ratified the Rome Statute. In other words, they won't accept the International Criminal Court's jurisdiction to be taken towards their citizens when ever it is involved with the international crimes.

From the very first beginning, they had disagree to ratified under Rome Statute. It only takes a while for them to sign in 2000 before they unsigned it back under Bush administration in 2002. In fact, they even threatened to use the their military power if any of their citizens were brought to the ICC by signed into law the American Service-Members' Protection Act (ASPA) as an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act. It means that the president has been given an authorization to use by all means to release any of their nationals or allied which being held at Hague. Well, it does gave a pressure to the countries in the region. But why?

White House loudly speaks, strongly suggest and gave their full support for rushing referral of Muammar Al-Gaddafi to the International Criminal Court to be prosecute, yet they themselves who are the one that strongly opposed to ratified for it. *sigh*

Nuclear Free Zone



A poll of Israeli Jews found out that 64 percents of them preferred for the Middle East to establish a nuclear free zone, by means that Israeli itself needs to give up on their nuclear weapon. Well, personally I would consider it as 'day dream'. Obviously, their government won't do that.

However, Israeli was the one who firm with their decision to prevent Iran from acquired any nuclear technology. They did not come up with a single evidence of nuclear weapon acquired by Iran. Israeli who the one that possesses nuclear weapon, Iran possesses nuclear technology used for their development, yet Israeli who keep talking about 'nuclear free zone'?? Are they qualified to speak out?

When the International Atomic Energy Agency publised a report on the Tehran's nuclear program , stating that Iran's activities are military in nature, hundreds of Iranian students formed a human chain of defensive belt around of the Islamic republic's nuclear sites, defending their nuclear site. Why? Well, they did so since Israeli officially considering a military action towards Iran.

Book Review - Beduk Diketuk


Peace be upon you. Well, this is it. My first book review. ^^,

Actually I saw this segment of 'Beduk Diketuk' somewhere on the local paper before. Never have any awareness of 'try to read it'. But when my sister bought it, out of the blue the question crossed in my mind.

"what is so interesting about it?"

Well, my first impression after I read the first article. I was like. It is good. Honestly, it is just a light reading yet full of messages simply trying to put forward. Go and buy it. It's worth to read. You guys also may read it in the Solusi magazine.

Thank you.

The Rise of Female Dominance vs The Barriers of Their Dominance.





Time goes by, globalization is everywhere and female dominance had show their contributions and role in shaping a world modernization. Even though they are not in the same level of dominance as compared to male, yet their role and position in decision-making and keeping the economic flow goes smoothly is undeniable. On the other hand, the barriers are there, slowing down their journey to the top.

Take a nearest example. Something that everyone admit about that. In Malaysian education itself. The total number of female students are far beyond the total number of male students. Even in my class, the total number of female students are double the total number of male students. In fact, female students dominate approximately 64.8 percents total intake into public universities. I wonder if this might be the era towards the extinction of educated male?? No wonder our Prime Minister's wife quoted that such program like Selangkah Ke Universiti (One Step To University) was organized to motivate male students to continue their education at university level.

Well, bravo for that, but how many of us knew that the facts that men are actually giving some space for women in education?!!!

Wow! chill out brah. By the way, maybe I need to find a better and accurate words for that. Even the facts that women contribute more than half of the intake's percentage into public universities, however their number who failed to get a job are also double the men's statistics. Human Resources Datuk Dr S. Subramaniam said the Education Ministry statistics showed that more female graduates failed to get a job that is of 21 760 as compare to men which is 10 240. This is actually due to market demands.



Not enough with that, their role also has spread into the economic development, specifically in business. Looking at those aunts at supermarket, trading their stuff is enough to illustrates their dominance. Alright, let's take a real serious view. One of it is in China, future-dominance-economic country in the world, showed from the statistics is that the number of female directorate officers in the civil service increased from 35 in 1981 to 368 in 2008. However, even with that, plus together with the fact that women are increasingly well represented in such professions and field like law, medicine and so forth, but their decision-making are still on the low level.

Concluding Remarks

People trying to show the rise of female dominance, but the barriers are still there. Note to myself and readers, I'm trying as hard as possible not to discriminate any gender. Feminist person always seek for equality to be prevail. Sometimes, equality does not mean if male got 'A', female also need to have an 'A'. Somehow equality means something that one's due. What he and what she is deserved to have.

Individual Rights: Amendment of AUKU 1974


Section 15 of University and College University Act (AUKU) will be amend consistent under Political Transformation Program (PTP). Those who reached the age of majority are allowed to join a political party, yet in order to maintain a university role as an academic institution, the government said that the politics of parties shall not allowed be brought into it.

The reforms was due to the freedom of individual. Speaking of which most of the students keep saying that this is their right was in fact true, and I shall not have any objection on that. Personally, I met many of them who showed their eagerness in politics yet does not show any maturity in giving argument prudently. Giving argument does not mean we condemn a particular thing. It is two different things. Sometimes we might think that we know about 'A', but the question is, do we know the reasons of 'A' ?

For instance, most of us know what the hell is 'BERSIH 2.0'. However, how many of us knew who lead BERSIH 2.0? What is their demands? Other than 8 of their demands, how many of us knew about their demands in regards with freedom of religion? How many of us knew about NED was in fact the crucial part of that demonstration? Do they even know what is NED???

Myanmar Lead ASEAN.


Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has agreed to let Myanmar lead the bloc in 2014.Much expectations has been put upon the country to made changes and reform towards the improvements.

As I view the matter, Myanmar need to do the improvement much on the part of democracy on their own country. It is undeniable that previously the country has been rejected from taking the role as they face a lot on the human rights issues especially among the politicians of their country.

However, as far as I concerned, the decision was made unanimously. So, I believed, the decision was made upon the faith and current factors that allowed the Myanmar to take over the top position to lead ASEAN in 2014.
