Malay Youth Easily Influence

Salam, Adnan here. This is my finding



In Malaysia 50 5 of the population are youth. Thats why there are many youth problems. The statistic show that Malay youth is the most have social problems. Every year it increased. There is survey make by Ministry of youth and sports and UKM to find out why Malay teenagers like to loafing or lepak. After school they will go to other place. 90 % dont go home straight. Chinese 90 % straight go home. Indian 70 % go home. Only 30 % go other places. This habit is bad. Can bring indiscipline ( S Mahadzir, Jaafar Man 2007)



Lepak is popular trend by Malay youth. Why they like to lepak because parent dont care about them. Parents busy working and no one at home. Parents got no time to talk to kids. There is lack of attention.



Another reason they like to lepak because they lazy to go to school. Parents also never check at school. Other races like to join clubs and society in schools. Malay students dont like club but they like entertainment. So they always follow friends to go enjoy.



The environment also can influence youth. When they are small and now also they like to do new things. So they will go to shopping complex, snooker center, video game arcade. They also love to ride motorcycles. we call mat rempit. They dont have licence. They also like to form gang group. Sometime they have gang fight.

Modernisation can also make Malay boys in lost. Those from kampung will like to go to city. Because glamor and many entertainement. The dont have high education. So they get no good job. With little money, they robbed like snatching from motorbike. They involve with bad boys in town. So Malay youth always have problems. Nobody or organisation are serious to help this youth.
