Kata Pengetua:
Dalam menguruskan harta benda sekolah, kita harus berhati-hati apabila berurusan dengan orang awam. Orang awam boleh datang dengan bertali leher, ada tag nama (yang belum tentu namanya), ada name card dan nampak rasmi. Adalah lebih baik kita mensyaki / bersangka buruk daripada kita kena tipu. Ingat bahawa, harta sekolah adalah kepunyaan sekolah - tidak ada orang lain boleh mengambilnya kecuali dengan izin kita. Jika was-was, sila bertanya / minta pendapat orang kedua seperti GK / PK / saya sendiri.

Ensuring men in blue won’t be spent force
BY LOURDES CHARLES
The rising crime rate in the country is worrying the public. In an interview with The Star, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan assured the public that the police have the situation very much under control.
THE country’s population increased by a whopping seven million the past 10 years while the strength of the Royal Malaysian Police Force remained the same at 95,000. Efforts are under way to recruit another 60,000 personnel over the next five years.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan, who admitted that the crime rate has gone up, assured the public that the security of the country was very much under control.
Police records show that 209,559 cases were reported last year (772 cases per 100,000 population) and the figure is expected to remain almost the same this year.
“The crime rate has increased here because of social problems as well as the influx of illegals in the country,” Musa said, adding that the crime rate often increased during an economic slowdown.
“This is due to the fact that many people would be jobless and they turn to crime,” he said.
The IGP stressed that one of the main reasons for the rise in crime was the change in attitudes of youths who do not respect the elders to the extent of fighting with their parents, relatives and even more recently with teachers.
Over the past few months, newspapers have been highlighting gangsterism in schools while racial incidents are on the rise.
Musa has often stressed the need to rehabilitate society rather than focus on catching criminals and locking them up.
“It is society that breeds criminals, not the police,” he said.
The IGP said it saddened him when politicians, who represent the welfare and voice of the people, were sometimes the same people who incited hatred and discord among people.
“Some of these politicians cry about human rights but when they encourage people to break the law, they say it is within their rights to do so.
“They hold illegal gatherings and demonstrations which force us to deploy our personnel to maintain peace and order,” he added.
In 1998, during the height of the reformasi demonstrations, the crime index peaked at 772 per 100,000 population, but that year, the population was only 20 million (total cases were 158,808.)
The high crime rate recorded in 2007 can be attributed to the number of demonstrations organised by political parties and NGOs, including the Hindu Rights Action Force and election watchdog Bersih.
“The crime rate has increased in almost every country, including our neighbours, and despite the huge increase in population here we still keep crime at bay due to the increased efforts by our men.
“There are only 95,000 policemen in the country to protect some 27 million Malaysians but people don’t talk about that.
“They keep on harping on the crime rate but never bother to compare the increase in population with our shortage of manpower.”
It is learnt that whenever a demonstration of about 2,000 people is held, the police had to deploy about 300 personnel to guard the situation.
“The number of personnel deployed is equivalent to the total number of policemen in a district,” he said.
“This is where our manpower is wasted. Our studies show that when street demonstrations and elections are held, crimes tend to increase.
“This is due to the fact that most of our men would be deployed to sensitive areas to watch over rallies and ceramah, thus sacrificing the patrolling in areas of high crime rate,” he added.
The police have sent in proposals to the government seeking additional funds to beef up police presence and made several initiatives to safeguard society.
Musa said he had embarked on an intelligence-gathering programme requiring officers from the Special Branch, CID and other departments to work together to combat crimes.
Despite all their setbacks and shortcomings, the police planned to conduct a massive operation throughout the country, especially in crime prone areas.
“The public must cooperate to ensure that their area is crime free. We can achieve better results only if the people work with us,” Musa added.
The police can only do so much and to achieve the desired results, the public, who are the benefactors, must put aside all criticisms and help the men in blue ensure that Malaysia is a crime-free nation

Kata Pengetua:
Kadar jenayah yang meningkat ini merisaukan masyarakat. Ahli masyarakat amat sukar untuk mengajar / menegur anak orang lain kerana sikap membela ibubapa. Guru memain peranan untuk mendidik anak tersebut dari segi nilai seperti melalui Pendidikan Moral, Pendidikan Agama Islam, melalui penerapan nilai merentasi kurikulum dan penguatkuasaan peraturan seperti yang dikehendaki oleh kementerian. Malangnya, guru tidak mendapat sokongan seperti diharapkan dan ada kala menghampakan apabila tindakan guru disalah ertikan. Akhirnya, kerajaan perlu mengambil peranan menangani masalah jenayah ini demi kesejahteraan rakyat. Akhirnya, kita tidak ke mana ...!

SLOW LEARNERS NEED HELP
Slow learners need help
By LOH FOON FONG
KUALA LUMPUR: One in every three juvenile delinquent in integrity school in prison or detention centres displays learning difficulties.
There is concern that if these youths are not identified and helped during their schooling years more will end up as criminals.
Hard work: Juveniles in a 3M class in the Kajang Prison. Those in purple uniforms are under remand while those in red are serving their sentence.
Malaysian Prisons Department academic sector head Shamsuddin Mustapha said as of September, 204 or 36.7% of the 556 juvenile delinquents in integrity schools nationwide have been identified with learning difficulties.
“Most of them are categorised as slow learners suffering from mild mental retardation and dyslexia and they fall out of the school system because there is no mechanism to teach them there,” he said, adding that the youngsters tend to drop out and are exposed to negative influences.
Nationwide statistics for 2006 revealed that of 4,798 juvenile delinquents, 1,725 were students.
Shamsuddin said teachers cannot only focus on passing examinations but must help students develop talents, social skills and good attitude.
Shelter Home executive director James Nayagam, who carries out social work among juveniles in prison, said that when a child fares poorly in school, society, including other students and teachers, labels the child “stupid” or “useless”.
“Some were expelled without proper investigation while others dropped out because they did not see a future in studying,” he said, adding that parents and teachers were also unaware of the child’s disorder.
Nayagam said some children also run away from home and are exposed to social ills.
Malaysia needs social workers and psychological analysts, like those in developed countries, to assess children who do not cope in school, he said.
Child and adolescent psychiatrist senior consultant in Kuala Lumpur Dr Toh Chin Lee agrees that early detection and intervention such as special education is vital to keep children with learning disorders away from crime.
Former social welfare assistant director Vijayakumari Pillai, now a member of the Petaling District Juvenile Welfare Committee, said slow learners also come from broken families and deprived environment.
“Children tend to learn faster when there is love and a sense of security,” she said, adding that the committee was training teachers to identify children with disorders.

Kata Pengetua:
Murid yang tercicir daripada sistem persekolahan berpotensi untuk menjadi penjenayah. Penjenayah pula berpotensi untuk menyusahkan kehidupan ahli masyarakat. Selagi masyarakat memberi fokus kepada "A", sekolah akan memenuhi kehendak tersebut. Murid yang lemah dari segi akademik akan ketinggalan / tidak mendapat apa-apa hasil dari sistem dan akhirnya tercicir. Sepatunya sekolah "cannot only focus on passing examinations but must help students develop talents, social skills and good attitude". Kalau perubahan ini hendak dicapai, ianya harus bermula dengan dasar tertentu, program khusus dan petunjuk / signal yang jelas. Sehingga itu, setiap kita akan menanggung bersama apa yang kita buat untuk generasi masa depan kita. Jenayah terus bertambah apabila cawangan-cawangan tertentu yang seharusnya menangani masalah ini sibuk dengan PATI dan penagih dadah (yang terlalu ramai dan makin bertambah).
MUM SEES RED OVER FUNERAL VIDEO CLIP SHOWN IN SCHOOL
Mum sees red over funeral video clip shown in school
By KAREN CHAPMAN and TAN EE LOO
PETALING JAYA: A parent has lodged a police report against a school for allegedly showing an inappropriate video clip to Muslim pupils.
Intan Sabrina Mohamad said her eight-year-old son was terrified on Thursday after watching the 20-minute video clip that had explicit images of a corpse.
She said her son’s religious teacher had allegedly inflicted fear in the pupils by telling them, “you need to pray or this will happen to you.”
“My son said he’s seen hell and cried when I tried to put him to bed on Thursday night,” said the boy’s father Michael O’Leary.
O’Leary said the video clip should have been scrutinised by child psychologists to evaluate its impact before being shown in school.
The video clip allegedly shows scenes of funeral services and a corpse wrapped in white cloth with effects of thunder and lightning.
It had the words Sajak Kematian (Poem of death) at the bottom of the clip.
Intan Sabrina, a rehabilitation physician, said her son told her some pupils cried after watching the video.
The mother of two said a parent-teacher association meeting would be held tomorrow to look into the matter.
She lodged a police report at the Damansara Police Station on Friday morning.
According to the police report, a religious teacher had said he did not have to submit the video for scrutiny.
It is learnt he refused to withdraw the video which was shown during an extra-curriculum religious education programme.
Education Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein has instructed his officers to get to the bottom of the matter.
“If it is true, it is crazy,” he said when contacted.
Ministry director-general Datuk Alimuddin Mohd Dom said officers would visit the school next week and asked parents to write to him so he could investigate the matter.
Meanwhile, Malaysian Exami–nations Syndicate director Datuk Dr Salbiah Ismail clarified the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination will be from Tuesday to Dec 5 and not from Wednesday as was earlier reported.

Kata Pengetua:
Sebagai guru, kita perlu ingat bahawa kita mendidik anak orang (walaupun negara menganggap anak itu sebagai sumber negara yang perlu dibekalkan dengan pengetahuan, kemahiran dan nilai masa depan). Kita juga perlu akur dengan kata majikan (ia itu kerajaan yang diwakili oleh YB Menteri, pegawai di KPM, JPN, PPG, pengurusan sekolah). Oleh itu, saya menasihatkan, kalau guru merasa was-was dalam melakukan sesuatu program / aktiviti, sila bincang dengan PK / GK atau saya sendiri untuk mendapat pendapat kedua. Saya masih percaya bahawa banyak lagi perkara dan cara yang boleh dan tidak mengundang kontroversi.-- Terima kasih.HJ RAMBLI ZAINUDIN
