Dislike- Current English Standard

English doesn’t belong to the English alone, a global language that is deteriorating in standard in our country. Gone are days good English was spoken among Malaysians. Not everyone gets to learn to speak English from home. School is where children learn to pick up languages. Bahasa Melayu as a medium of instruction, students are fluent with it. What about English, it is losing importance when emphasis is not given on mastering the subject. The frequent change in Education system is only experimental in nature. The children fall prey to this, a family with 4 to 5 children would have to bear with the changes and consequences. One child would have learnt some subjects in Bahasa Melayu and another learns in English and another will go back to Bahasa Melayu. Even before the result is enjoyed the change comes in action. The victims are our future generation and not the policy makers.

So much so this situation has attracted commercial organization from various countries to teach English to Malaysians. Imagine we are learning English from the Japanese and the Koreans.  Many of us send our children to these courses to gain proficiency in order to face the tertiary demands. How many can afford this, the courses are not cheap.  Those who cannot afford this will shy away from the language.

Before the seventies we Malaysians had good command of English and were admired by our neighbours. Now we admire them for the same reason. English is a language of knowledge let it live in our Education system-Math and Science in English should remain and not changed.

Recycle is the topic for my likes today. Trash of today is immeasurable, how much is reused is a question. If the secret behind recycling is revealed, then everyone will move forward to make a change.

Once I was made fun of by my visitors for using a plastic spoon in my sugar jar. For a moment I thought the sugar had turned bad or they found some ants in the jar. It was none of these they laughed at, it was the spoon that I recycled. I collect the spoons that accompany food parcels and put to reuse accordingly.

Reuse of waste materials generates benefits locally and globally. Less use of raw material that come from natural resources like water, timber and mineral, this is the number one secret behind recycling. Consequently, reduce energy usage, reduce water and air pollution caused by manufacturing sector.

Recently, I read an article on how they manufacture sanitary napkins out of old unused clothes in Mumbai. It is cheap for those who can’t afford the branded ones in the market. In another story in Indonesia a guy collects drink cans and makes decorative items. Oil from our kitchen is converted to biodiesel. For more info please visit, fathopesenergy.com  A man in US had gone to extend of building a house from recyclable materials.

Much of our household waste can be turned to wealth. Reduce, reuse, recycle at home.  Help sustain the environment for our future generation. Remember the three R’s.   

Dislike-Crime

First dislike, crime rate is on the rise. Robbery and break ins happen everywhere, no place is left in peace from the criminals. Recently, old folks home in Port Dickson was the target of the burglars. That particular home had been robbed twice in a month. No place is safe to live, search of safety has become the daily routine of  people.
