kampong boy....

watch the news, television and also from the internet....
PPSMI............this is the big issue nowadays that brings malaysian to voice out....demonstrate...
and fight..........it's about our education system.....learning science and mathematics in english....
what's the relationship with our main topic??
actually..i wanna highlight here why people want to change this system...
from learning in english to our mother tongue language...( malay language )....
most of them are worried about our students from the kampong or suburban area...
they afraid if these students can't adapt english in their learning...
i wanna ask one thing....
do they really care about kampong students out there???
why i ask such this question....
read more..than u know....
honestly, i am one of them...i am a kampong boy....
to tell the truth...the lifestyle of a kampong boy is really different from the city boy...
especially in my era....
we live in a harsh condition...in which we do not have time to waste our money at the shopping mall...but we learn how to find money..by working..starting from you are in standard 3..perhaps...we plant bananas, rambutans, durians, vegetables and etc...we learn how to take care of them...then..we sell them to the dealers....some off us also will help our parents by rubber tapping..everyday go to the rubber orchard early in the morning just to get money and earn our living..the price of latex depend on the wold wide price...if the commodity price go down..we will sick..why??? coz we don't have enough money to buy our basic things..such as food....other than that...............
we spend most of our time by doing something or playing...sometimes we will go fishing till late of night.."menajur" also...go into the jungle...search for paku pakis, petai, jering...and sometimes..follow our father and go for hunting....
there's no handphone connection or network coverage in our place...we just depend on the public phones and our home phone to call our relative outside from our area....
because of all of these, i am very grateful coz was brought up in this condition...
i learnt on how to appreciate everything...however, honestly, it is hard for us to concentrate with our studies...we got no interested in learning...because of the condition i think..and also the motivation we get...
i do not know exactly how's the upbringing of a city boy...
i can't say much..all i know is they are more modern, stylo and educated from us.....

in village, it's hard to find a person that can speak in english...this is one of the factor why the kampong students get low mark for english language and the related subject....
this is because of the surrounding....if i live in city, i can adapt with english speaking condition easily...
furthermore..why the students do not attracted to work harder and succeed is may be because of the education system itself...i just wanna ask that....
do the school in the city get excellent teachers?? perhaps yess...not like us...
when one of our teacher perform well and award by the government..after that..for sure..they will be transferred to the other best school..why is this happening?? why must left us without our best teacher..that's the question..why not send most of best teachers to our area...rural area...it's not impossible for us to succeed..perhaps can be better than the other best school..and most of kampong boy will be educated..

next..i've several opinion on why best student from the rural area can't perform well in their further study..when they get place in college or ipta in the city..
most of them will get culture shock..this is because they never ever do or try certain things...
such as internet...nightclub...star lrt..klcc...the curve..OU...laptop..psp..and more....
because of these things..they forget to study..to do revision...and lastly become lazy...
but i believe not most of them involve in this problems....
and kampong boys will learn how to adapt or settle in everything....
.........
my wish is..please help our kampong students....
they need help, motivation and strenght to survive....when i was in form 5..my school did a motivation programme..i went to seliau in negeri sembilan..and gua musang in kelantan...
we spent 3 days 2 night at seliau and 2 days one night at gua musang...
we just tried to give some motivation to them..when the first time we met them..we were so sad..coz they did not get enough support and facilities...we tried to cheered them up..we adapted them with a good condition and style of study...we told them some story that can attract them to study...we challenged them to get straight a's in their UPSR...we did everything..but i think...still not enough for 3 days....we hoped they'll success..finally..when we knew the results..we were so grateful..both school showed some improvement..from only 2 student got straight a's the year before to 14 students...it's quite amazing...

from the above situation..it shows that we need to help them..not just money..but all things that we can contribute....it's not about ppsmi..so??? think yourself....
