Mental Health

-

 The global issue that is still being discussed at the moment must be about the Pandemic problem even though the vaccine has been successfully produced and many people in the world have been vaccinated. The most important priority at this time, including in Malaysia, in my observation is the effect left by the pandemic.

In 2021, Malaysia has implemented MCO 2.0 as a measure to end the spread of pandemics which is at a critical stage at a time, when the number of positive Malaysians infected at one time reached 5 thousand people. The implementation of MCO 2.0 must have various effects on the country and the people. it also affects the mental health of Malaysians directly or indirectly.

I am trying to examine the true definition of what is meant by the term mental health. Mental health can be understood as a person's psychological state that is when the emotional response corresponds to the behavior shown. In my opinion, a person's mental health level will be categorized as good when able to control emotions while in various situations, especially the normal stress of daily life that is expected or out of control.

Imagine if during this time, before the pandemic spread at the end of 2019, you have a permanent job with a high monthly income, then the government has to implement MCO 1.0 so that all economic activities must be closed within a certain period, this causes many companies or organizations to closing operations or reducing staff for cost purposes, you are now one of those who should be laid off and become unemployed at the age of approaching retirement age. Does it not affect your emotions ?.

Based on information shared by the Health Portal, among the signs a person may be affected by his mental health is the onset of health problems such as heart disease, high blood pressure, easy headaches and sudden muscle cramps. Then a person with mental health problems will start to change in terms of behavior, especially more aggressive, easily angered, difficult to make decisions and solve problems. The signs become clearer when a different situation occurs than before, namely hot temper, difficulty sleeping, loss of appetite, weight gain, loss of spirit, easy to tremble and sudden palpitations.

How can a person have a mental health problem if he does not seek treatment immediately ?. Based on health information, a person who does not seek help immediately, is more likely to get mental illness or insanity. The fact is that the current situation, with the loss of employment, the rising cost of necessities can give a strong life pressure as well as able to trigger mental illness. It should be noted that there is no specific treatment for mental health problems, only someone who feels it should immediately seek support before it is too late.

Several local news portal sites have reported incidents that occurred due to mental health problems experienced such as portals hmetro, bharian, utusanborneo,kicauanrakyat and SH.

Probably due to concerns over the mental health status of Malaysians, the government is seen to be open by giving flexibility in economic activities. Only at this time, cross-district and state activities have not yet been given permission. Because it is one of the main contributors to the recent increase in the number of pandemic cases.

Therefore, for them or partner or acquaintance or family member suffering from mental health problems, immediately seek the advice of a specialist should be, do not delay for fear too late.

Pengalaman menjadi Guru

Setiap dari kita pasti bertemu seorang insan bernama 'Cikgu'. Insan yang memainkan peranan penting dalam mendidik kita selain dari ibubapa di rumah.  Dari dahulu lagi, orang sering ibaratkan menjadi guru ini seperti menjadi sebatang lilin yang membakar diri demi menerangi jiwa dan hati anak bangsa. Aku ingin berkongsi sedikit pengalaman menjadi seorang cikgu. Pengalaman yang tidak pernah terjangka di minda aku. Pernah memohon menjadi guru lepasan DPLI atau KPLI tapi semua permohonan aku gagal termasuk temuduga yang turut keputusannya mendukacitakan aku. Kisah aku menjadi guru bermula apabila tamat kontrak sebagai tele-marketing sebuah Kolej Swasta di Kota Bharu.Ketika itu, aku menghantar resume ke semua organisasi yang difikirkan sesuai termasuk sekolah swasta.  Dijadikan cerita, pada suatu hari aku menerima panggilan temuduga dari salah satu Sekolah Swasta di Kota Bharu. Sekolah tersebut dikatakan merupakan sekolah yang terkenal sejak dari dahulu lagi. Sekolah tersebut ba

Walaupun telah lama aku tinggalkan Universiti Malaya, terutama Jabatan Pengajian Media, masih ada kenangan yang terpahat dalam ingatan. Pelbagai kisah tidak tercatat tetapi di coret dalam kamus hidup aku. Setelah melaporkan diri di Kolej Kediaman Ke-7, aku mempunyai tempoh 1-2 minggu untuk menentukan Subjek Major & Minor bagi melengkapkan Ijazah Sarjan Muda nanti.   Pada mulanya aku berminat pada Pengajian Hubungan Antarabangsa & Strategik sebagai subjek major.  Namun pada hari pertama masuk kelas pengenalan, lecture terus bagi assignment yang lebih fokus kepada undang-undang antarabangsa, membuatkan aku terasa takut sangat dengan beban bakal aku pikul nanti. Lagipun aku bukan dalam kategori pelajar pintar seperti orang lain. Seterusnya aku mencuba Jabatan Pengajian Media, abang aku merupakan mantan pelajar Jabatan ini, maka aku pernah mendapat pendedahan berkenaan hala tuju graduan Jabatan Pengajian Media nanti.  Bagi pelajar-pelajar yang ingin mendapatkan Jabatan pilihan mere

BAGAIMANA MENJADI TELEMARKETING?

Aku ingin kongsi pengalaman bekerja sebagai Telemarketing bagi sebuah Institusi Pendidikan di bandar Kota Bharu, seingat aku sekitar tahun 2008. Walaupun bekerja atas nama status kontrak, ia memberi pengalaman baru kepada aku, secara peribadi.Maklumlah budak pengajian media dari Universiti Malaya tiba-tiba jadi budak marketing. Apabila aku tamat latihan "on job training" di sebuah GLC yang base di Airports Subang pada tahun 2007. Aku mengambil keputusan balik kampung untuk menjaga ibu yang kini tinggal seorang setelah kematian abah. Aku mengambil inisiatif menghantar resume ke seluruh institusi atau organisasi yang dirasakan sesuai di sekitar Kota Bharu pada awal tahun 2008. Salah sebuah organisasi yang aku hantar permohonan terbuka telah menghubungi aku untuk hadir ke sesi temuduga yang aku tidak mengetahui apa jawatannya. Proses temuduga berjalan lancar, alhamdulillah aku berjaya dalam temuduga tersebut dan aku mula melaporkan diri sebagai Tele-Marketing bagi organisasi
