Youth Parliament

-

When it comes to the Youth Parliament, it is a program that has been implemented almost all over the world. Especially among the Commonwealth countries. 

Malaysia is one of the countries that also introduced such a program for youths in Malaysia.

In my opinion, the task of promoted the program, not an easy task. many challenges faced to earn the confidence of youth to participate as voters or candidates later. 

Most importantly how to get rid of their disbelief at the Youth Parliament program. Many are asking what benefits they will get if they become voters of the  Youth Parliament.

I got to know the Youth Parliament through a friend in the Youth development division when I was at the strategic branch. Every day, he diligently conducts the online registration process based on the forms distributed to the public at the exhibition location that receives visits from Malaysian youth groups. 

Various locations have been identified by the officers responsible for conducting the promotion. Then the group should bring a portable promotional banners, always carry anywhere. 

In terms of transportation, the use of vehicles or vehicle department officers themselves. A very new program in Malaysia, it must be quite difficult to convince the youths to participate. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the officers who do the promotion to answer all the problems raised, especially from those who are active in youth activities.

How to implement a promotion challenge ?. I honestly do not know why there is only constraint in the implementation of the program which has the support of the Minister of Youth and Sports Malaysia. 

The Youth Parliament does not allocate the number of seats of Youth MPs to the same number of seats in the Dewan Rakyat. The number of Malaysian Youth MPs for each state is based on the ratio of the number of youths in a state.

For example, if the number of youths in a state, as many as 400 thousand people. So the number of youth MPs for the state is 4 people. Although there are various Associations for Malaysian Youth. but it is not enough because there is still a group of youth who do not like to join the Association. Are their interests or problems not taken care of ?.

From doing voter registration promotion, I help in terms of election promotion and the voting process that everything is done through the online system. The PBM 2.0 program is slightly different from the Youth Parliament in the United Kingdom which implements a physical voting system. 

Despite the many challenges that the Secretariat must face. Alhamdulillah, the next process is to implement the first session of the Youth Parliament. Once each state has a Malaysian Youth Member of Parliament who won the online election.

I was very happy when given the confidence to be a herald for the First Conference of the Youth Parliament held in the House of Commons, the Parliament of Malaysia. An experience that will be remembered forever, I remember only one staff contract. 

The service definitely has an expiration date. Malay attire is herald a formal dress for Youth Parliament. More specially, each of the Bentara is provided with walkie-talkies for ease of communicating with each other. 

The Youth Parliamentary Conference is held 3 times a year, I felt like I was the Speaker of the Conference 2 times. Almost 100% of the MPs elected at that time was a great speech, during the debate on the motion there was only a very relevant point used by the youth MPs.

Before I was terminated by KBS at the end of 2015, I was given the last responsibility as a Declaration that maybe after this I will never feel it or even set foot in the Dewan Rakyat is very impossible. 

My hopes & dreams for the Youth Parliament program are hopefully it will continue to be strengthened in the future because I see the country still lacks competent successor leaders, through the Youth Parliament Program, in sha Allah, the goal of making Malaysia a developed country will be realized.

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 b...

AKU PELAJAR PENGAJIAN MEDIA,

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 Jabata...

Mengapa Pegawai Penerangan?

-
Ketika aku masih bergelar pelajar universiti, telah terdetik persoalan di akal ini. Apakah jenis pekerjaan yang bakal berjaya diperolehi apabila menamatkan pengajian nanti.  Semestinya, di antara alasan mengapa kita belajar adalah untuk mendapatkan pekerjaan yang diimpikan. Aku merupakan pelajar Pengajian Media, Fakulti Sains Sosial, Universiti Malaya. Sepanjang tempoh pengajian, aku lebih fokus mempersiapkan diri bekerja sebagai seorang Pegawai Perhubungan Awam (PRO). Abang aku juga merupakan pelajar Jabatan Pengajian Media. Beliau telah berjaya menjawat jawatan sebagai  Pegawai Penerangan di Jabatan Penerangan Negara, di bawah Kementerian Komunikasi dan Multimedia Malaysia .  Aku secara tidak langsung mula memahami tugas seorang pegawai penerangan jabatan atau kementerian. Tugas pegawai penerangan sebenarnya hampir sama dengan tugas pegawai perhubungan awam (PRO), hanya nama sahaja berbeza, pegawai penerangan lebih kepada sektor kerajaan manakala PRO di sektor swasta. B...
