Manusia Dan Kepentingan Diri

Semua perkara yang berlaku di dunia adalah ketentuan Allah swt samada baik atau buruk di mana semua mengandungi maksud atau hikmah tersendiri. Pepatah kita selalu berkata Melayu mudah lupa tapi bagi saya ianya sesuai untuk kenyataan MANUSIA MUDAH LUPA.

Semua orang mementingkan diri sendiri, mahu berjaya, mahu untung, mahu bersinar di kalangan manusia. Tetapi adakah kita sedar dengan apa yang kita katakan dan lakukan? Kita sibuk bertempik dan berbahas mengenai pelan dan tindakan kerajaan, sentiasa sahaja menyokong isu pembangkang yang membawa keuntungan atau manfaat pada diri kita namun realiti dan hakikat tiada perkara yang percuma di dunia ini.

Menyentuh isu pemansuhan PTPTN, bagi pendapat saya sendiri tidak logik perkara seperti ini dilaksanakan. Sebagai rakyat yang hidup dalam negara yang sedang membangun, pemansuhan PTPTN hanya akan membebankan negara. Keadaan ekonomi Malaysia yang masih mengalami deficit menjadikan ia semakin sukar untuk direalisasikan. Mata dan hati kita dikaburi dengan janji-janji manis pakatan pembangkang sehinggakan kita mencaci pemimpin kita sendiri. Manusia tidak sempurna tetapi kita perlu menilai baik buruk sesuatu sebelum bersetuju dan bukan hanya mengikut dengan membabi-buta sahaja.

Sebab-sebab lain kenapa pemansuhan PTPTN tidak logik untuk direalisasikan adalah kerana peruntukan  lain yang sedia ada akan berkurangan secara drastik kerana kerajaan perlu menanggung kos pengajian semua mahasiswa di Malaysia. Pembinaan jalan raya, perkhidmatan infrastruktur, hospitaliti, pembelajaran di peringkat sekolah semua akan terjejas dengan kekurangan peruntukan.

Perlu kita ingat, tidak ada satu benda pun yang percuma di muka bumi ini. Jika ianya nampak percuma pada kita namun ada orang lain yang menanggung kos itu bagi pihak kita. Seawal kita meminjam, kita bersetuju akan membayar balik, merungut apabila duit tidak masuk lagi. Tetapi sesudah kita tamat pengajian, barulah kita terasa susahnya hendak membayar balik kerana sesudah ditambah keseluruhan duit pengajian yang kita terima dari semester ke semester angkanya agak besar. Wajib hukumnya bagi orang yang meminjam untuk membayar semula hutang. Saya percaya semua orang sedar dengan perkara yang berlaku di negara kita ini.

Duit PTPTN masuk, telefon bimbit baru, peralatan komputer baru, makan mewah, bercuti, jalan-jalan - jangan kita lupa apabila duit sudah habis diguna, hendak dibayar semula menjadi masalah. Para pembaca renung-renungkanlah.

Diam-diam Ubi Berisi

Kadang-kadang ada idea sangat dihargai kerana dikongsi bersama, tetapi kadang-kadang bila seseorang mengemukakan cadangan seperti hanya melepaskan batuk di tangga. Tapi juga wujud golongan yang suka bercakap tanpa berfikir bahkan menyinggung perasaan orang lain.

Wujudnya laman sosial di zaman teknologi ini membolehkan kita berkongsi informasi dengan semua orang dengan mudah dan cepat. Tetapi kita sering kali terlupa bahawa segala perkara yang kita kongsi bersama dibaca oleh semua pihak samada kenal atau tidak.

Menjadi seorang mahasiswa di universiti tempatan banyak membuka pandangan saya. Ramai yang cuba menonjolkan diri untuk menarik perhatian ramai dengan mengeluarkan idea-idea yang kadang-kadang memang sangat berterima kasih kerana membawa kebaikan tetapi kadang-kadang hanyalah untuk menunjukkan bahawa kita ini kurang ilmu tetapi mahu 'menyalak'.

Bila kita bercakap secara berfikir, idea-idea yang bagus dan bermanfaat boleh dikongsi. Tetapi apabila bercakap terlalu banyak, makin banyakla salah yang akan mula tertonjol. Lagi-lagi bila masing-masing mengeluarkan ideologi pasal politik, rasa macam semua ikut perasaan. Biarlah dibezakan fakta dan pendapat masing-masing. Jangan kerana nila setitik, rosak susu sebelanga. Cermin diri sebelum berkata-kata. Berhati-hati apabila mengeluarkan kata-kata di laman sosial kerana sekali dipaparkan, nasi sudah menjadi bubur.

Learning Proses

I believe everybody in this small world is created to LEARN. The Quran first verse also clearly stated that we must read and to read is to learn. The knowledge around the world is totally unimaginable. Why do we learn? Is it because to score in examination? Or get better grade? That maybe one of the point but to achieve it we must strive for the best. To me learning only won't benefit us unless we are to practice it in our real world.

We said it isn't hard? For somebody like me it is like an imaginable action and I really didn't trust myself that I could do it. Can I do it? For me it is not the problem. I just know that after I graduated from IIUM, I will somehow somewhere learn to speak in Arabic and improve my Tilawah skills. It is very important as a Muslim of cause.

Actually, deep in my heart, I'm very afraid to face it. I don't believe myself. Before deciding to enter and become part of IIUM community, I think a lot, worrying for nothing. The more I think the scarier I am. I'm sure everybody is scared to the uncertainty, but my prayer is the one who lead me here. I believe everything happened has Hikmah and I will push myself to the best to achieve it.

Not everyone is very lucky like me to be accepted to enter IIUM although I don't want to. But, I won't waste this chance. I will grab it and pray for the best. To all, don't forget to always pray because that's the most powerful weapon in the world that only we MUSLIM have.

Days in IIUM

Hi all, sorry I had been busy to suite with life in IIUM. Please pray for me ok!

IIUM sure differ a lot from my previous college. Living in IIUM was totally a challenge for me. Not only living but also the environment and the classes! Huh... the early day becoming one of IIUM community was a very troublesome days. I need to walk for about 20min (if I walk faster) to reach the CAC from my Mahallah (hostel). But slowly I managed to suit myself with the walking distance and finding the nearest path to my destinations.

The first day class was the BEST memories ever! I spend more than one hour just to look for the class. Just how big is this University comparing to my college? Believe me, it is totally on another level. Luckily, it is just for the first day.

Challenge comes one by one. Do you believe it? My class which is supposed to be fully air condition had become a worst nightmare ever! It was totally feel like sitting inside of an oven everyday especially when the weather is hot! Thanks to the both lovely lecturers Mr Khairul and Madam Alina who always try to look for a better class and tried severer times to complain to the top management regarding the class condition.

Food? It was relatively cheap here. The food are just around RM5 per meal for normal eating behaviour including the drinks. But the places are the most important, not all cafeterias serve good food. After three weeks here, surely "Alis's Cafetaria" food are the best!

Everyday I'm replenishing and improving my English to prepare myself to enter the Kuliyyah. It's a little bit boring if we think that there are English class everyday for at least 4 hours, but my lecturers are working hard to ensure the classes are attractive and interesting everyday. Arabic subject is also waiting for me once I had enter my Kuliyyah. Huh... Like a mountain placed on my shoulder just thinking about it. However, I'm sure if I work hard I will be able to score easily. InsyaAllah.

For those who are looking for a suitable IPTAs' to further their studies, I will recommend you all to choose to study in IIUM. The environemnt is good, the food, the culture, everything is marvellous!
