Election Candidates

-

 The 15th general election is approaching, each party has started to implement more aggressive work moves than before. In addition to this election, the number of voters has doubled compared to the previous one with most of them being voters aged 18 and over.

All the political parties have introduced their election candidates. Especially those contesting the general election of the Parliamentary area. There is something that caught my attention, when I saw the list of candidates who will contest and announced by their respective parties.

Almost all political parties put forward candidates from among young people to compete in the GE this time. So much so that several senior political leaders who are usually candidates for the general election were dropped by their respective political parties this time.

What are the factors that lead to such a situation? It is said that there have been rumors that there will be a change in the candidate's name before it is announced. However, many senior political leaders are taking a wait-and-see stance.

In my opinion, looking at this situation should be seen from a different angle. In the world of politics, a political leader who voluntarily withdraws from running is better than withdrawing by being dropped as a candidate by the party. For example, some political leaders who have announced that they will not run in the next general election to make way for new candidates.

The name of the candidate has been announced, now focus on the campaign, although I believe there are challenges especially for new candidates to gain the confidence of the people or party members themselves.

There are situations where the candidate introduced by the party for an area is a candidate who does not come from that area. It caused dissatisfaction among party supporters in the area. But that's the world of politics, not according to what is needed but rather what is desired by the highest party leaders who have the power to decide who will be appointed as a candidate for the general election.

In Ketereh itself, there was a change in the name of the candidate as happened in the Barisan Nasional party. The name that should be the candidate for the party is dropped and replaced by a younger candidate in the party. 

I heard complaints of disappointment from the members of the party, including local residents who supported the candidate before when they found out that the leader who was usually nominated in the general election was finally dropped.

The election candidates have been announced, like it or not, that is a fact that supporters must accept. Now it is the turn of the people or the voters to make a choice, which candidate will be chosen on the ballot later?.

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
