From a Window Pane: Realiti Kehidupan(Part 2)

Assalamualaikum..kite berjumpe lagi pada hari yang same,waktu je x berapa nak same...

Untuk part 2 ni, aku just nak cite ape yang aku maksudkan dengan realiti kehidupan yang aku belajar kat kem tu..


1- Tak semua orang diberikan nikmat pendidikan yang sempurna.

Yeah...when you think about it, not everyone is lucky as we are(me and you..yes,you!)..Before this, I've always assumed that everyone can read and write, if not much or complex, but at least they know how to pronounce simple Malay and English words like BACA,BUKU,BULAT or HOLE, BRANCH, ATINA(ek,tetibe!) etc. and know how to write simple sentences like I LIKE TO STEP ON MY FRIEND MANY TIMES or DOGS LIKE TO CHASE ME but sorry to say, most of them can't. Malay language doesn't seem to be much of a problem except for some isolated cases but their English proficiency is far from the other Standard 6 students that I know nearby. I used to remember when I was at their age, I could read Harry Potter novels and could really understand them. Even that, I was considered an average that time compared to my other Malay friends.(yang Cina ngn India tok sah nk cakapla,English tu kacang ja). But i guess it was my fault as well to  these kids. Well yeah, I've lived in a suburban area and I've been surrounded by a well educated community for as long as I can remember. There are none in my school who cannot read and write,well at least not this bad. I've never known the reality of the education level of the people in rural areas until now. I never thought that the gap between the education quality in the outskirts and in the urban areas would be this big *showing with my fingers with eyes wide open*.

Tapi itulah realiti. Kalau dilihat balik, sebenarnye sistem pendidikan kite masih memerlukan baaaannnnyaaaak  penambahbaikan. Orang hanye nampak kelebihan budak-budak di kawasan bandar..pencapaian akademik yang memberangsangkan, keterlibatan diorang dalam KO-K yang menakjubkan, tapi org tertinggal sekumpulan masyarakat kite di luar bandar......yang sebenarnye lebih memerlukan perhatian kite, perhatian kerajaan...Aku cukup risau kalau budak-budak ni membesar dalam keadaan tidak tahu membaca dan menulis(erti kata lain, buta huruf). Sebab siapa berani kata, "alaaaaa, tak pandai baca pun boleh berjaya.." Semua mengaku kan membaca dan menulis tu asas kemahiran intelek yang lain. Semua jugak tahu makin lama, pelajaran makin susah. Jadi kalau di peringkat sekolah rendahpun budak-budak ni dah terumbang-ambing di lautan gelora, apatah lagi bila dah masuk peringkat sekolah menengah nanti??Dengan subjek-subjek yang makin banyak dan kerja kursus lagi..Cuba renungkan...Bukan aku ingin memburuk-burukkan masyarakat luar bandar(mak ayah aku orang kampung), aku sekadar ingin menunjukkan satu realiti yang ramai orang, especially orang bandar tak nampak. Kalau sedar pun, buat-buat tak sedar. Jom sama-sama menyedarkan diri bahawa ramai lagi masyarakat Malaysia ni yang memerlukan bantuan kita semua. Semua 1Malaysiai kaaaaan???*wink*wink* (tetibe je haha)

2- Didikan agama yang semakin terhakis

 I can be very defensive when it comes to my religion. It was disappointing to see that some of the kids could not even perform their solah at the age of 12. I'm not talking about doing the ruku' wrongly or not memorizing the doa iftitah, or missed out a few things in the recitation of the tahiyyat akhir, but i'm talking about not knowing how to pray at all. Not knowing how may pillars are there in a prayer, how to niat in Arabic nor Malay,cannot recite the al-fatihah properly, and worse, cannot perform the ablution(wudu'). For me, this is far more worrying than acing the exams. Far more important than UPSR, i can say, because this is our religion we're talking about. These kids are the next generation, the next in line in the replacement of our current leaders, our ulama'. If we're not the ones to correct them, then who will??
It was very shocking to see that these kids don't know what hadith is, who Saidina Umar Al-Khattab is, and many more general facts about Islam. Then, who do you think is their idol at this point of time if they don't even know who Saidina Umar is. You expect them to know Saidina Hamzah, Rabiatul Adawiyah and idolise those great people in the past?Hell no! All they know is Ultraman, Boboiboy, Khairul Fahmi Che Mat, Lady Gaga etc. 


Ade sorang sahabat aku cakap kat aku selepas aku ceritakan perkara ni. Dia kata,

"Tina, yang penting sekarang bukan untuk mengajar mereka solat, tapi untuk membawa mereka mengenali siapa yang mengeluarkan perintah solat itu. Tanya mereka, kenalkah Allah?Siapakah Allah?Siapakah Nabi Muhammad? Itu yang lebih penting kerana itu asas akidah Islami. Asas-asas pengenalan Islam bukan untuk solat, tapi untuk mengenali Allah. Solat itu adalah satu bentuk pengabdian kepada Tuhan tetapi yang lebih penting sekarang adalah untuk memaku, memahat,menjahit(??!) nilai akidah yang kuat dalam diri budak-budak tu."(ok dialog sifu dh diedit cikit)


Wahhh, my wise sifu...Itulah Ikram Mohd Noor, pengasas blog www.inibukankerjagila.blogspot.com yang sememangnye gila! hehe in a good way la... 


Tapi betullah ape yg Ikram ckp tu....susah diorang nak terima ilmu agama lain kalau ilmu asas tentang Islam tu tidak diajar dan diterapkan................which brings us to my next point


3- Ibu bapa cerminan peribadi anak-anak

Memang orang kata iman tak dapat diwarisi, walaupun daripada seorang ayah yang bertaqwa(ceee cilok lagu Raihan ek) tetapi kite tak dapat nafikan bahawa ibu bapa sepatutnya menjadi cikgu paling utama, pengetua, guru besar anak2 terutama sekali dalam hal2 agama ni...bukan cikgu sekolah, bukan ustazah-ustaz sekolah agama,bukan juga sukarelawan sukarelawati kem-kem motivasi..
Mengaku jela bila anda nampak seorang budak bermasalah atau remaja bermasalah, mesti terdetik, walau kecik mana pun detik tu, mesti korang akan cakap, "agaknya, mcm manela parents die ek" ataupun "ni mesti parents pun lebih kurang je ni"..kan kan kan???! haaa sebab kita manusia, tak lari daripada sifat bersangka-sangka..Tapi kadang-kadang sangkaan itu ada benarnya..bak kata pepatah Melayu, bapa borek, anak rintik........anak sangat senang terikut-ikut tindak tanduk, tingkah laku mak ayahnya kerana pada anak, mak ayah 'orang dewasa' yang sepatutnya dah tau mana baik, mana buruk..sedangkan hakikatnya kematangan manusia bukan pada usia, tapi pada kebijaksanaannya dan kesihatan rohaninya.. 

Bagi aku, sebelum mentarbiah golongan remaja atau kanak-kanak  yang dah sedikit berubah arah ni, kaji dulu kehidupan berkeluarga dia mcm mana. Bukan nak bukak aib ke ape, tapi nak tengok apa punca diorg ter-kiok sikit(kiok??haha bantai jela) Sebab ade sesetengah budak bermasalah sebab ikot kawan, pengaruh budaya luar tapi kalau tengok keluarga dia elok je. Mak ayah elok je perangai. Ade pulak budak-budak yang memang mewarisi kedurjanaan(maaf bahasa kasar) mak ayahnye.

Kisah benar daripada kawanku, ade sorang peserta kem motivasi(xtaula kem mana) cerita kat dia yang mak ayah die tak kisah pun die tido sesama laki perempuan bukan muhrim yang dah baligh satu bilik...astarghfirullahalazim *istighfar lagiiiiiiiiiiiii*
Ada jugak yang bile di kem, bole je ikot sembahyang jemaah sekali, tapi bile balik tak boleh dipraktikkan sebab mak ayah tak solat...*istighfar lagi*

So tell me, how do expect us to motivate these kids if they don't get the motivation from their should-be main source of motivation, that is their parents?! We did our best in telling them what's right and what's wrong, the do's and don'ts but in the end, it will all go to waste because they don't get the support from their parents. I'm not saying that every kids who went to that camp have bad parents, but that some, that small number who have can sometimes open your eyes to what may be much worse than that. You don't know how many more kids out there whose lives are being jeopardised by the people who gave birth to them. The saddest part is that most of these kids really crave for a good education and they want to be a good muslim, but they are stuck between poverty and parents who couldn't care less about them. But i salute to those parents who tried very hard to give the best to their children, even with limited resources..At least they try........

We've come to the end.

Well, you say that 24, 25 students don't affect the country's well-being in terms of religion-wise and education-wise. You can say what's wrong with a bunch of schoolchildren not knowing how to read and write and pray, we'd still have hundreds thousands more who can. So just ignore.


My answer would be, these so-called schoolchildren are also human beings who deserve a better life as much as we all do. What makes us different from them??. In the end, they would also be the one voting for you in maybe the 100th general election,who knows. And if u neglect their needs and necessities, don't be surprise if one day, they'll assign a battalion of army to go against you.

I really hope a lot of people would read this, despite all the grammatical errors..hahah because to me, going to that camp, being a part of it has really opened my heart, my eyes and my mind to how far we still are from development. And this has actually made my love towards my country stronger because i know i have to do something. Even if it's just a little contribution and even if i'm just a little person(literally), at least one day there will be someone who can say "I wanna be just like KakTina"

Ceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Rasulullah saw. bersabda,
"Tolonglah saudaramu, baik dia orang yang menganiaya ataupun yang dianiaya. Bertanya seorang sahabat: "Ya Rasulullah, kami mengerti tentang menolong orang yang teraniaya tetapi bagaimana kami menolong orang yang menganiaya ?". Nabi saw. menjawab: "Cegahlah dia". [HR Bukhari]
