Words, Words, Words --- Pls look at the Words (sorry, Works)

Dear friends,

I have perused the information gathered in this blog and during our recent meeting on the subject. While I would like to have more feedback through blog discussion, however, I have to make do with the information during the meeting as time is REALLY running out. Members immediate feedback is greatly appreciated.

TOPIC

To encourage more Malay youths to be active in voluntary and charity work.


INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this paper is to discuss ways on how to encourage more Malay youths to be active in doing voluntary and charity work. We have noticed that while the Malay being the majority population of this country, the Malay youth involvement in voluntary and charity work do not reflect that. Their contribution to society through volunteer and charity work is very small or negligible, should we say, when compared with the other races in term of percentage. with this study we hope to reverse the situation and at the same time eradicate the social ills that they are causing to society such as drug abuse, illegal motor race (mat rempit), loafing around (lepak) and free sex activity which lead to teenage pregnancy.


RESEARCH OBJECTIVES

We have established five(5) objectives in our research work.

1. To find out why is there very little involvment of Malay youths in voluntary and charity work in many Society such as Pemadam, Yayasan Salam, Mercy, Old Folks Home, House of the Orphans, etc.

2. To encourage Malay youths to be actively involved in voluntary and charity work and other beneficial social activity.

3. To encourage and divert the youths from getting involved in anti-social activities such as drug abuse, illegal motor race and loafing around.

4. To enhance the spirit of volunteerism and patriotism through strengthening the leadership and provide self-development program for this youth so that they can further develop more youth groups which will keep them active and thus lure them away from undesirable activities.

5. To get the involvement of major Malay political parties to provide infrastruture and develop programmes for these youth to be more active in voluntary and charity work so that they can contribute to the society, not just to their ethnic but also to the nation.


RESEARCH QUESTIONS.

1. Why do Malay youths do not like to do voluntary or charity work to help less fortunate society.

2. How can we encourage more Malay youths to get involved in volunteer and charity work.

3. Why do Malay youths easily influence involve with undesirable activities such as drug abuse, illegal motor racing, loafing around and sex.

4. Do schools, colleges, universities and government agencies fail to produce,encourage and develop the sense of helping the less fortunates among our youth, particularly the Malays.

5. Why is there lack of programs and activities organised by major Malay political parties to encourage Malay youth in volunteerism and charity work.


I have managed to sum up and arranged all the ideas as per above. Please evaluate each objective and question if they are relevant and important to the issues. Otherwise please give your views and suggestions. Please hurry so that we can start the words, sorry, work. We have less than 3 weeks to finish the job.

Thank you.
