aku terpanggil

last wk my wife was involved in the oral for Bahasa Malaysia paper for private candidates and also school candidates.

the shocking news from what I heard from our conversations was most candidates including the working Malay could not speak proper BM. Worst still candidates from other races. This includes the school candidates as well.

the most surprising news was the Chinese candidates who came from the lower classes (kelas yg belakang - Arts) though couldn't converse well in BM but when asked to describe about themselves were telling the panel that they are working since Form 3 (after school).

surprisingly most of them already had a saving wich accumulated to the thousand of ringgit. When asked what they intended to do with the money they answered it will be for their later life (future) and most will be used as their capital in starting their own business.

they came from the group of students who knew very well that they wouldn't do well in their studies and only came to school for the sake of fulfilling their responsibility as a teenager but they already had a VISION for their own life or future.

does the same goes to the so called Malay youths or students? Point to ponder.

food for thought..
