Budaya Peperiksaan dan Kepentingan Diri

1. Sekarang musim penempatan dalam kelas untuk tahun 2011 bagi sekolah-sekolah seluruh negara. Ada pelbagai perkara berlaku dari pihak sekolah atau ibu bapa.
2. Pihak sekolah cuba merancang yang terbaik untuk pembangunan yang sekata bagi semua pelajar dalam kelas ataupun sekolah. Ini termasuk kurikulum dan kokurikulum.
3. Pelbagai cara dilakukan termasuk pengagihan semula tugas guru dan penyusunan pelajar dalam kelas.
4. Pihak ibubapa pula ada yang tidak mahu perubahan berlaku dan terutamanya yang anaknya agak pandai dan mahu berada dalam kelas terbaik. Bagi yang mempunyai kepentingan diri pula ada yang sanggup mendesak pihak sekolah agar meletakkan anaknya dalam kelas terbaik dan diajar oleh guru yang terbaik. Kononnya anak mereka yang pandai dan segak tidak boleh dicampur aduk dengan pelajar yang tidak pandai, selekeh dan busuk. Malah nama kelas pun mereka mahukan A, B, C dan D atau Kelas 1, 2, 3 atau 4. Mereka tidak mahu namakan kelas V, T, P, H kerana mereka berfikir V itu terakhir......A itu di hadapan. Tak guna keputusan baik malangnya berada dalam kelas V dan tidak A. Begitulan tahap pemikiran ibu bapa sekarang.
5. Ada juga perbezaan pemikiran dan pendekatan antara guru perempuan dengan guru lelaki dan penerimaan bapa dan emak terhadap pengagihan murid dalam kelas.
6. Dalam sebuah negara demokrasi semua orang mempunyai hak bersuara dan memberikan pandangan tetapi tidak mempunyai hak berkuasa melaksanakannya. Sebab itulah kita ada undang-undang dan kuasa eksekutif diberikan kepada seseorang oleh pihak berkuasa (Menteri) bagi melaksanakan peraturan dan undang-undang atau perlaksanaan untuk dimenafaatkan samarata oleh semua rakyat.
7. Kita harus elakkan budaya mementingkan diri sendiri dan mengambil peluang orang lain disamping menghormati kuasa adil yang diberikan kepada pelaksanaan polisi kerajaan.
8. Inilah suasana negara Malaysia maju sekarang yang mana rakyat sudah tidak menghormati organisasi kerana wang ringgit dan kedudukan. Masyarakat ini tidak kuat dan rapoh dalam negara sendiri.
9. Tidak hairan kita menghasilkan budaya robot di zaman sekarang.
10. Apakah keseragaman, kelainan dan majmuk dapat menghasilkan pertandingan sebenar murid di sekolah dan menghasilkan masyarakat yang kreatif, kuat dan berdaya saing.....atau ulat buku, robot dan penipu.

Bukti kepentingan diri dan tidak menghormati organisasi. Bayangkan apa akan jadi generasi ini jika emak bapak mereka hanya datang ambil hadiah dan selepas dapat hadiah mereka bawa anak balik. Gambar menunjukkan dalam satu majlis penyampaian hadiah sebuah sekolah rendah baru-baru ini. Masa awal majlis ramai, kemudian kurang dan akhirnya hanya pengacara bercakap dengan kerusi.

Human Conflict Again near Taman Tun Abdul Razak(TAR) in Ampang Jaya


1. Golf Course at TAR close to the forest.
2. Road bordering TAR golf course and the forest which link to the main forest.
3. A group of people form a society or club for many years to take care or be friend with monkeys and wild boars. The club or association consists of multiracial society in Malaysia, Malays, Chinese and Indian.hey organised feeding activities and cleaning the area.
4. The members are not just a resident but from other places as far as Kajang and Kuala Lumpur.
5. Everyday the feed animals twice with banana, rambutan, langsat, bread etc.
6. The claim they love animals, feeding them and protect their habitats.
7. When the animals closed to human who feeding them them raise another issues; human conflict
8. Not far from this site there is a mosque. We know that muslims and pigs, wild boars and mosque are cannot be together. Sensitive to muslims.
9. Monkeys (Presbytes, Macaca fascularis and Macaca nemestrina) are very close to human start disturbing public who are jogging in the areas, stop by, fighting to get food from visitors.
10. These create conflict between, animal, mosque community, public, animal lovers, MPAJ, Wildlife Department and others.
11. Animals lovers claimed that by feeding these animals they do not go the residents houses and the wild boars do not go to the mosque. But the other teams claimed that by feeding these animals they are calling more animals to the feeding sites, increase the population through healthy diet or immigration.
12. I short many things need to be looked, not just one or two angles. Conservation, recreation, disturbance, human values and ethics, diseases, management, laws and regulations etc.

Kuala Selangor Nature Park: An important destination for environmental education and ecotourism

The Kuala Selangor Nature Park (KSNP), also known as Taman Alam, is a large nature sanctuary, being established since 1987 and consisting of 200 hectares of mangroves and secondary coastal forest. The park is one of the main attractions of Kuala Selangor, located at the base of Bukit Melawati. It was originally part of a greater tract of primary coastal forest, but land reclamation works have claimed all but this piece of land, now the park. KSNP provides good environment for research, ecotourism, birding, education, etc. Mangrove planting regularly done by volunteers. 10 yra old Iman from Sekolah Seri Selangor Subang Jaya learned a lot about nature at KSNP.

Stress at Work

How to Reduce and Manage Job and Workplace Stress?


In this difficult economy, you may find it harder than ever to cope with challenges on the job. Both the stress we take with us when we go to work and the stress that awaits us on the job are on the rise – and employers, managers, and workers all feel the added pressure. While some stress is a normal part of life, excessive stress interferes with your productivity and reduces your physical and emotional health, so it’s important to find ways to keep it under control. Fortunately, there is a lot that you can do to manage and reduce stress at work.

You can learn how to manage job stress
There are a variety of steps you can take to reduce both your overall stress levels and the stress you find on the job and in the workplace. These include:

Taking responsibility for improving your physical and emotional well-being.
Avoiding pitfalls by identifying knee jerk habits and negative attitudes that add to the stress you experience at work.
Learning better communication skills to ease and improve your relationships with management and coworkers.

Reducing job stress by taking care of yourself
When stress on the job is interfering with your ability to work, care for yourself, or manage your personal life, it’s time to take action. Start by paying attention to your physical and emotional health. When your own needs are taken care of, you’re stronger and more resilient to stress. The better you feel, the better equipped you’ll be to manage work stress without becoming overwhelmed.

Taking care of yourself doesn’t require a total lifestyle overhaul. Even small things can lift your mood, increase your energy, and make you feel like you’re back in the driver’s seat. Take things one step at a time, and as you make more positive lifestyle choices, you’ll soon notice a noticeable difference in your stress level, both at home at work.
