Recap of Inaugural Diversity & Inclusion Youth Camp 2012

In the past few days, i been attending this Inaugural Diversity & Inclusion Youth Camp 2012. It's the first event that happening to be collaboration between UTM and UCSI in other words will be government university and private university. There was a movie called GADOH being display during the event first day. For me, it wasn't a usual movie that I watched in cinema, it was totally a different perspective of movie to bring out the value of people. I was touched at the end of the movie,  cause it really reflected to what happening around us which we always ignorance about it.

"Melayu is lazy, Chinese is greedy and Indian is liar" people always saying this. But doesn't you feel hurt? Frankly, I feeling irritated and hurt... For a people who are mix-blood, sometimes they puzzle where they should stand???   We are under one country, under one community, can't us just be inclusive about each other. We can live in peranakan community, where we sharing others culture and accept it. Chinese eat with hand, malay eat with chopsticks. If there's unity and tolerance between each others, the diversity gap between human can be solved.

Most of the people like to jump to conclusion/ judgement when they heard or saw a problems. For example, when you see your friend in a shopping mall, which he/she just refuse your invitation to watching a movie. Most of the people will think of "he/she doesn't like me or he/she doesn't wanna to be friend with me", and the next things people do is unfriend/dislike the friend. Most of us will doing this without going through the ladder of inference, without giving chances for explanation, without seeking for evidences, and straightly come to judgement with adding all of own interpretation and meaning. This things always hurting other people, especially if the friend wasn't mean that, but he/she really had to company parent's for some important reasons.

What you see and heard doesn't true if you didn't get clarify from that person! The things that you know sometime is less than the things that you do not know. So we shall try to learn more by listening others people, finding more information, accepting with open minds and heart. Don't ever judging a people by looking on appearance.

Communication is a way to connecting all the people. However, communication can be a tool of starting of war. When the moment you mention " Malay friends like to copy other people work", it can be very racialist as it sound like all the malay also having this kind of attitude. Once again it will hurting other people who heard it, and making other people to believed it, and it will become an issue of racism of making fight between race or religion.

During the entire event,  I'm enjoying the process of being accepted by others, enjoying the moment of sitting with other people who speak different language, who having different background , who having different culture, who puzzle why Malaysian always complaining about Malaysian, who delight of staying in this multi-culture country, who irritated about others people looking strange/ talking bad about your nationalist, and all of this people actually make me comfort when I starting to accept them into mine comfort zone and carefully listen on them.

Let's take a drive to what happening on this event.

Lastly, I was happy to having a picture with this guy. Dr.Robert Bong, the Vice Chancellor of UCSI.. why I'm so happy on this?? He is a totally different kinda of VIP I meet. Why he so different??

Along the consecutive few days of this event, I was puzzle by him, why he always in this hall? Why he sitting alone at back and looking all of us?? For me, I always having a bad thought that this kind of VIP person always busy, not having time to be us, not care on any activities, as long I came for open ceremony and closing ceremony. But he totally opposite!! and I noticed he look tired as we are... On the closing ceremony speech, his voice changed, became rough and sore trout...  I'm touched at the moment as he really appreciate all the participants and facilitators... At least I felt this is an appreciated action by just accompany all of us!! 

Even thought is not on stage(name miss out>.<), but I really really proud with having chances be in photo with him !!!
