IS A MEGA TSUNAMI GOING TO HIT ASIA IN JULAI 2009 ?

"Aku ada dapat email mengatakan ramalan Tsunami 22 Julai 2009 kunun. Earthquake that create Tsunami is possible but timing is unpredictable. The three areas in the map are located on an existing active tectonic plate boundaries (also known as "pacific rim of fire"). Tectonic movement along the boundaries will create earth quake, and could possibly generate Tsunami, depending on magnitude of movement. Betul atau tidak, tidaklah diketahui tetapi lebih baik berwaspada sajalah.

Hi,

Please be more cautious as the warnings has been given. Attached a photo for u.I just received this message from a colleague. I don't know the source of the message; I also don't know the credibility of the content, but just beware.

Below is the content on the message:

"Hello there. I just wanted 2 let you know that please stay away from the beaches all around in the month of July. There is a prediction that there will be another tsunami hitting on July 22nd. It is also when there will be sun eclipse. Predicted that it is going 2 be really bad and countries like Malaysia (Sabah & Sarawak), Singapore, Maldives, Australia, Mauritius, Sri Lanka, India, Indonesia, Philippines are going 2 be badly hit. Please try and stay away from the beaches in July. Better 2 be safe than sorry. Please pass the word around. Please also pray for all beings."Thanks and have a nice day.

1. This is what I received in my mail. Is this warning for real or is it just a hoax aimed at creating fear and panic among people? Is this based on scientific facts, evidence and proof? Check the details out!


2. Well, I am not sure. But, from what is mentioned, a mega tsunami is likely to occur in the Pacific Ocean in July. So, people are requested to stay away from the coastline. Wonder who has made this prediction? And, what about the accuracy of the prediction?

USING THE POWER OF DENIAL TO FACE THE CRISIS

Often, the human reaction to a crisis is “This cannot be happening. This is unreal!” People may be stunned by what they are seeing or experiencing. It’s as if the mind stops trying to comprehend the shock or horror of the event. In some cases, people run away, an instinct known as “fight or flight,” because we as humans are compelled to seek safety or refuge when faced with danger.

In other cases, we decide to tough it out, to fight back, to gain control of the situation as best we can. For example, when he witnessed the horror of September 11, 2001, occurring right across the street from his office, William Nickey, the Northeast Region Human Resources Director at Deloitte & Touche USA, says,

• My first reaction to this event—in my heart—was that I had to get home to Long Island to be with my family. But then my mind took over, and I told myself I had a job to do. Looking back, I realize now that I was in shock for the first 48 hours, but I made it through, not only playing my role as HR director but also becoming a Disaster Recovery Project leader. Deloitte and Touche began immediately to make contact with all of our people, and miraculously, we lost only one employee who had not made it out of the World Trade Center.
  

In a crisis, we are compelled to act out of fear, confronted by the immediate threat of the situation. Mory Framer, a pioneer in trauma counseling, says that this inner resource is actually denial and that through denial we can regain control over the situation. What irony! Those who are effective in leading in the face of a disaster are in denial too. But because they encounter the denial at this stage, rather than doing so earlier and consequently avoiding the planning phase, they are able to help their organizations as opposed to putting them at undue risk.

Dr. Framer says, “The human condition gives great impetus to action through the fight/flight syndrome. When we don’t or won’t flee, we fight (within ourselves) to regain control in order to help others. The trauma or disruption we are facing creates internal energy that can be used to regain self-control.”

A second insight from Dr. Framer is that employees, family members, friends, and colleagues may not react to or recover from a fearful situation as quickly as successful leaders do. It’s necessary to understand and allow for this dynamic in the human side of emergency planning. Managers must be careful not to assume that their employees are gaining control as quickly as they are. You’ll learn more about this in THE NEXT..... PUBLISH POST ?

PUNCA KELEMAHAN PENCAPAIAN AKADEMIK PELAJAR MELAYU ( "posting" akan siap sebelum ?/4/09)

Kerangka Konsep

1. Faktor yang mempengaruhi kelemahan pelajar Melayu, khususnya pelajar miskin dan di luar bandar, berkait rapat dengan budaya belajar pelajar. Budaya belajar ini boleh diperjelas berdasarkan kerangka konsep yang memperlihatkan perkaitan antara empat faktor yang dikenal pasti mempengaruhi pencapaian akademik pelajar Melayu iaitu keluarga, pelajar, sekolah, dan persekitaran (Rajah 1). Keempat-empat faktor ini mempunyai interaksi antara satu sama lain dalam membentuk persekitaran budaya belajar pelajar.

Rajah: 1
Persekitaran Budaya Belajar

( akan dimasukkan nanti ? )

2. Sejak dilahirkan pembentukan sahsiah, sikap serta persepsi seseorang individu terhadap kehidupan akan datang banyak dipengaruhi oleh keluarganya. Rasulullah s.a.w. bersabda, “Setiap anak itu dilahirkan dalam keadaan yang suci (fitrah), ibu bapanyalah yang akan menjadikannya Yahudi, Nasrani atau Majusi.”

3. Latar belakang keluarga seperti status ekonomi, pegangan agama, budaya keluarga, sikap ibu bapa terhadap nilai pendidikan akan menjadi asas pembentukan identiti individu pelajar. Pendidikan pada peringkat awal yang diperolehi di rumah serta sokongan dan dorongan keluarga akan menjadi asas kepada kejayaan pelajar pada peringkat persekolahan seterusnya. Menurut Lumsden (1994): “Children’s home environment shapes the initial constellation of attitudes they develop toward learning. When parents nurture their children’s natural curiosity about the world by welcoming their questions, encouraging exploration, and familiarising them with resources that can enlarge their world, they are giving their children the message that learning is worthwhile and frequently fun and satisfying.” (ERIC Digest 92)

4. Menurut Gardner (dalam Mohamad Daud, 1994), kanak-kanak yang hidup bersama ibu bapa akan memperoleh nilai kelas sosial yang diamalkan oleh keluarga. Keluarga golongan kelas sosial bawahan selalunya besar, kurang berkemampuan, dan ibu bapa kurang memberi perhatian individu kepada anak-anak. Ibu bapa ini mempunyai harapan rendah terhadap anak-anak, berbual tentang topik yang terbatas, dan mahukan anak-anak mengikut perintah mereka. Manakala keluarga daripada kelas sosial menengah selalunya kecil, menaruh harapan tinggi terhadap anak-anak, sentiasa bekerjasama, dan berusaha untuk memastikan supaya anak-anak mereka mendapat pencapaian yang lebih tinggi. Anak-anak mereka juga mempunyai sifat kendiri yang tinggi.

5. Sekolah dan persekitaran juga merupakan faktor utama dalam mempengaruhi pembentukan sahsiah dan pencapaian pelajar. Faktor sekolah termasuklah guru, kemudahan pembelajaran, persekitaran pembelajaran, pembiayaan pendidikan, sistem pendidikan, cara penyampaian pendidikan, program sokongan, dan hubungan sekolah dan komuniti. Faktor persekitaran termasuk komuniti, budaya sesuatu bangsa/kaum serta sistem sokongan yang wujud dalam masyarakat akan terus mewarnai kehidupan seseorang pelajar. Dengan lain perkataan, budaya belajar seseorang pelajar itu dipengaruhi oleh pelbagai faktor khususnya faktor keluarga, sekolah serta persekitaran yang boleh menentukan kejayaan atau kegagalan seseorang pelajar baik dalam apa bidang pun serta dalam kehidupan sebenarnya.

6. Kajian Factors Influencing the Academic Achievement of Students in Malaysian Schools oleh Universiti Malaya (Leong Yin Ching dan lain-lain, 1990), mendapati keempat-empat faktor yang tersebut di atas mempunyai pengaruh yang berbeza mengikut peringkat persekolahan. Kajian ini melibatkan seramai 25,632 orang pelajar sekolah rendah daripada 686 buah sekolah dan 18,458 pelajar sekolah menengah daripada 119 buah sekolah menengah di seluruh negara. Kajian ini merumuskan bahawa faktor sosioekonomi dan keluarga merupakan faktor terpenting dalam mempengaruhi pencapaian akademik pelajar pada peringkat sekolah rendah (UPSR). Walau bagaimanapun, faktor–faktor ini kurang mempengaruhi pencapaian akademik pada peringkat menengah. Pada peringkat menengah (SRP dan SPM) faktor sekolah dan persekitaran banyak mempengaruhi pencapaian akademik, manakala pada peringkat lepas menengah (STPM), faktor utamanya adalah sekolah.

FAKTOR KELUARGA

7. Kajian-kajian BPPDP (EPRD, 1992, 1994, 1996, dan 2001a) tentang kelemahan pelajar dalam pelajaran dan masalah keciciran di sekolah mendapati faktor keluarga iaitu sikap negatif terhadap pendidikan, masalah kemiskinan, masalah rumah tangga, kurang sokongan terhadap pendidikan, dan kurang hubungan antara keluarga dan sekolah adalah penyumbang kepada pembentukan budaya belajar pelajar.

Sikap Negatif Terhadap Pendidikan

8. Kajian Kes Mengenai Keciciran di Sekolah Menengah (BPPDP, 1996) menggariskan sikap negatif ibu bapa/keluarga terhadap pendidikan termasuklah tidak atau kurang mengambil berat terhadap pendidikan anak, kurang kesedaran tentang kepentingan pelajaran, lebih suka anak bekerja daripada bersekolah, dan membiarkan anak ponteng sekolah. Terdapat juga ibu bapa yang merestui, membiarkan, atau tidak tahu mengambil tindakan terhadap tingkah laku anak yang nakal. Keluhan yang sering diluahkan oleh ibu bapa sebegini adalah seperti “Apa yang boleh kami buat?”, dan “Sekiranya anak-anak tetap tidak mahu bersekolah, apa yang boleh kami lakukan?”. Sikap negatif ini juga menyumbang kepada salah laku moral dan seks di kalangan pelajar. Mengikut perangkaan Bahagian Sekolah, Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia, di antara bulan Januari dan September tahun 2001 terdapat sebanyak 973 kes salah laku moral yang dilaporkan.

Masalah Kemiskinan

9. Keluarga yang kurang berkemampuan menghadapi masalah untuk membeli peralatan dan bahan pembelajaran, membayar yuran sekolah, tambang bas, dan membeli cermin mata (BPPDP, 1996). Ada juga keluarga kurang berkemampuan yang mengharapkan anak-anak untuk bekerja bagi membantu keluarga. Keluarga miskin juga kurang mampu menyediakan rumah yang selesa untuk seisi keluarga menyebabkan suasana tidak kondusif untuk menjadi tempat belajar. Menurut perangkaan Kementerian Pembangunan Wanita dan Keluarga, sebanyak 7.5 peratus penduduk Malaysia adalah di bawah paras kemiskinan. Ini bermakna seramai 1.7 juta penduduk Malaysia perlu diberi perhatian yang sewajarnya dan daripada jumlah tersebut sebanyak 16.5 peratus adalah daripada keluarga yang diketuai oleh ibu tunggal (The Sun, 22 Mei 2002).

10. Kajian Universiti Malaya (Leong Yin Ching dan lain-lain, 1990) tentang faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi pencapaian pelajar mendapati bahawa status sosioekonomi merupakan faktor utama bagi menentukan kejayaan seseorang pelajar terutama pada peringkat rendah (29.0%) dan berkurangan pada peringkat menengah (PMR 16.0% dan SPM 9.0%). Walau bagaimanapun, faktor sosioekonomi tidak mempengaruhi pelajar pada peringkat STPM. Kajian ini juga menjelaskan bahawa sosioekonomi keluarga juga mempengaruhi sikap pelajar terhadap aspirasi, motivasi, konsep kendiri, dan penyertaan dalam aktiviti kokurikulum. Kajian Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat (Zarinah Arshat dan Rozumah Baharudin,1999) juga mendapati bahawa faktor sosioekonomi, khususnya tahap pendidikan yang diterima oleh ibu bapa, mempengaruhi pencapaian akademik anak mereka. Hubungan kemiskinan dengan pencapaian dikaitkan juga dengan kesan negatif terhadap perkembangan minda. Kesan ini termasuk food deprivation yang mempengaruhi konsentrasi dan pembelajaran harian; kekurangan nutrien atau zat yang mempengaruhi pembesaran; kekurangan pengawasan oleh ahli dewasa dan penjagaan anak yang akan menghad pembelajaran; kekurangan stimulasi yang mengakibatkan kekurangan motivasi untuk belajar dan melambatkan perkembangan kognitif; tingkah laku yang bermasalah; sikap kendiri yang rendah; buta huruf dan pencapaian rendah; gangguan kepada kehadiran ke sekolah dan tercicir dari sekolah; dan kekurangan kemasukan ke universiti.

Masalah Rumah Tangga

11. Rumah tangga yang kucar kacir dan mengalami keruntuhan seperti penceraian, poligami, dan ibu bapa tidak tinggal serumah menyebabkan keruntuhan akhlak dan masalah sosial di kalangan pelajar. Dapatan kajian juga menunjukkan bahawa apabila berlaku penceraian, tanggungjawab memelihara anak selalunya diserahkan kepada datuk atau nenek (BPPDP, 2001a). Faktor-faktor ini menyebabkan kurangnya kemesraan dan komunikasi berkesan antara anak dan ibu bapa.

Kurang Sokongan Terhadap Pendidikan

12. Kajian Drop-out & Low Achievement – Case Studies in Selected Primary Schools in Malaysia (EPRD, 1994) mendapati pelajar yang tercicir dan berpencapaian rendah adalah daripada keluarga yang kurang memberi sokongan terhadap pendidikan anak-anak mereka, kurang mengawasi kemajuan pelajaran anak-anak, tidak menyemak kerja sekolah, menyerah tugas membantu pelajaran kepada anak yang lebih tua, dan lebih suka anak menolong kerja di rumah daripada bersekolah. Terdapat juga keluarga yang kurang mementingkan pendidikan dengan memaksa anak perempuan berkahwin bagi mengurangkan beban keluarga atau tidak menggalakkan anak perempuan belajar ke peringkat tinggi. Selain daripada itu, terdapat juga keluarga yang kurang memperuntukkan wang kepada pendidikan anak tetapi lebih mementingkan kebendaan, penjagaan status, dan hiburan.

Kurang Hubungan Antara Keluarga Dan Sekolah

13. Hubungan yang rapat antara keluarga dan sekolah dapat membantu pelajar untuk berjaya dalam pelajaran. Walau bagaimanapun, dapatan awal Kajian Penilaian Program Intervensi JPN bagi Menangani Keciciran di Sekolah Menengah (BPPDP, 2001b) menunjukkan masih terdapat ibu bapa yang melepaskan tanggungjawab mendidik dan membimbing anak mereka kepada pihak sekolah, sering tidak menghadirkan diri apabila dipanggil untuk berjumpa pihak sekolah, meminta orang lain seperti jiran untuk mengambil rekod kemajuan pelajar, dan kurang mengambil peluang untuk melibatkan diri dalam Persatuan Ibu bapa dan Guru (PIBG). Terdapat juga ibu bapa yang enggan melayan atau membalas surat sekolah tentang masalah pembelajaran atau ponteng sekolah anak-anak mereka. Keadaan ini menyebabkan ibu bapa/keluarga tidak mengetahui tentang pencapaian sebenar anak mereka dalam pelajaran dan kurang memberikan komitmen terhadap program pendidikan di sekolah sama ada dalam bentuk tenaga, masa atau wang ringgit.

HUMAN TRADING AND DISTRIBUTION INDUSTRY ?

KEY DEFINITIONS

TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS: the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons, by any form of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception and abuse of power. This involves the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person for exploitation (UN, Article 3 of The Trafficking Protocol).

EXPLOITATION: the use of people for prostitution (and other forms of sexual services), forced labour, slavery, servitude or the removal of organs (UN, Article 3 of The Trafficking Protocol).

DEBT BONDAGE: the status or condition arising from a pledge by a debtor of their personal services (or someone in their protection) as security for a debt, if the value of these services is not applied towards the liquidation of the debt.3

FORCED LABOUR AND SLAVERY-LIKE PRACTICES: “[t]he extraction of work or services from any person or the appropriation of the legal identity and/or physical person of any person by means of violence or threat of violence, abuse of authority or dominant position, debt-bondage, deception or other forms of coercion” (GAATW definition as cited by Chuang 1998).

GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE: violence which is directed against a woman because of her gender. It includes acts which “inflict physical, mental or sexual harm or suffering, threats of such acts, coercion and other depravations of liberty” (CEADW Article 1).

PEOPLE SMUGGLING: the “procurement of illegal entry of a person into a State of which the latter person is not a national in order to obtain a profit” (United Nations Global Program Against Trafficking in Human Beings).

KEY PLAYERS

GOVERNMENTS: The responsibility for the protection of women’s and girl’s human rights lies first and foremost with the state. A commitment to creating laws and policies that protect human rights and do not further exacerbate women’s social, economic and political disadvantage, are essential to preventing trafficking, prosecuting the perpetrators and providing adequate protection for women who have been trafficked. This may include facing up to the uncomfortable reality of endemic corruption at all levels of government (Carpenter 2003). Governments with domestic immigration policies and anti-prostitution laws incompatible with international trafficking conventions and who continue to criminalise women who have been trafficked and deport them as illegal immigrants, are not providing adequate protection (Chuang 1998). Unfortunately, women continue to be under-represented or absent from decision making bodies and as a result are limited in their ability to instigate and influence reform, particularly in relation to gender-based violence (Cook 1994).

SEX TOURISTS: One key demand driving the trafficking of women is the increased popularity of the sex and tourism trades in the developing world:

• “In Amsterdam, it costs you 200 guilders for 2 hours. And the girls watch the clock, you know? Here it costs you 10,000 bolivars for the whole night. And they’re lovely girls. They enjoy sex. They want to please you.” 45 year old man from the Netherlands (ECPAT FAQ n.d.)
  
• “This is such an open, natural culture. Girls are so willing and open, they want to please. They’re sexual from the age of six…” 52 year old man from Canada (ECPAT FAQ n.d.)
  

Men (and very occasionally, women) are increasingly attracted to the developing world to engage in acts such as pedophilia which, even if illegal, are poorly regulated and rarely prosecuted. Racism pervades this issue, driving demand for women and girls from the South. Myths surrounding particular cultures and their ‘suitability’ for sexual exploitation are commonplace.

ORGANISED CRIME SYNDICATES: Trafficking is increasingly the domain of highly organised international crime syndicates, attracted by the high profits that can be made for very little risk (Anti-slavery Campaign n.d.).

NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANISATIONS (NGOS): are crucial in addressing the trafficking of women and girls. However, NGOs working in this field are divided over the issue of prostitution. This has affected the focus of preventative and protective measures. Those who promote the abolition of prostitution tend to adopt ‘Protective Models’ of intervention, which focus on the restriction of international migration, shelters and medical care for trafficking victims (Chuang 1998). This is criticised by some as having the potential of sending the industry underground and exacerbating women’s vulnerability to abuse. Those who adopt an ‘Empowerment Model’ believe in respecting women’s autonomy and capacity to engage in consensual prostitution as a form of employment (Chuang 1998). Those NGOs adopting this approach tend to lobby for increased labour rights and regulation of conditions, and seek to address exploitation and abuse to empower women rather than see them as victims (Chuang. 1998). The range of views amongst NGOs has often resulted in uncoordinated approaches to challenging the practice of trafficking. Greater dialogue and coordination of activities are needed.

UNITED NATIONS (UN): UN institutions and in particular bodies such as the United Nations Women’s Development Fund (UNIFEM), The United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) and The United Nations Office on Drug Control and Crime (UNODC) HIGHLY AFFECTED, RARELY CONSIDERED TRAFFIKING OF YOUNG WOMEN have been central to the creation and monitoring of international conventions relating to trafficking. Despite this, the UN as a whole continues to be slow to recognise gender-based persecution and the gender aspects of much of the language and protection offered by international law.

TWO BIG CHALLENGES OF KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT (KM)

"When a person joins an organisation he/she is obligated by the terms of employment to use and share the knowledge in his possession for the benefit of the organisation"

Knowledge is central to the success of a business. But then knowledge acquired (recruiting people) does not automatically translate into knowledge shared or in use. People, the carriers of knowledge, rarely volunteer to share their knowledge to the greater good of the organisation. Some people (viz., owners) treat this as a betrayal. This kind of thinking hardly helps the situation and knowledge further retreats into the shell.

Knowledge acquired is not knowledge shared and used

Knowledge gained from schools pares in comparison to knowledge gained out of experience. It takes quantum leaps with exposure to work environment, people, situations, challenging positions, problem solving, failures etc. A person starts at say K0 and travels upwards to KM. This gain in knowledge helps people to establish themselves firmly in an organisation and determine their career advancements, emoluments etc. Asking an employee to share his knowledge for the common good, without proper systems to facilitate it, is tantamount to asking him to lower his guards. Just like a company that wants to grow, every individual wants to grow. How many companies are willing and volunteering to share their knowledge for the greater good of the industry or economy and run the risk of blunting their competitive edge? There may not be an agreement to that effect, one may argue, but the case is similar when the context shifts to employees and an organisation. A worker cannot machine a component if the lathe is not there. Likewise an employee cannot be expected to share knowledge voluntarily if knowledge assisting and supporting systems are not in place.

Knowledge captured is not knowledge used

"We have a KM system in place and recently bought a KM Software to take care of it"

You may have heard those words from many CEOs and managers. The truth is you cannot buy a knowledge management system. A KM software is not the be all and end all of a KM system. It just is a part of a KM system. It serves a business as a means of storage and retrieval. To store, something has to be entered. Even in the case of 'explicit knowledge', if completely captured in the software, it has to be used by people.

If making one share knowledge is challenging enough, making another to use that knowledge is equally difficult. Quite a few things like ego (I can do better than him), lack of trust (What if he is wrong?) and lack of training & sophistication (How to use that software? Looks too cluttered. Where is what?) can come in the way of using knowledge in the public domain of an organisation.

Any business organisation that wants to harness its knowledge assets must successfully jump over two challenging hurdles and thereby

• help people to share knowledge
• make people to use the knowledge shared by others

I will be happy to have your feedback and know whether my posts are helpful.

Thank you.
