better

A sense of wanting to be you, a consciousness of knowing good and the strive to do better. You've taught me a lot. Realizing that I can never be you only fires the will in me to be better than you.

In the name of Respect

I wish to express my greatest appreciation towards Ng I Fern, for the respect she has shown towards me, regardless the situation. Even though she isn't completely innocent for talking about me behind my back, I understand that we both tried to keep a professional relationship and not cause a situation that will jeopardize the Interact Club's performance.
Do not take my last post on your sister personally as I didn't mean to criticize your sister nor was I discriminating you. I was actually trying to explain the situation on how and why I landed in a high post even though I wasn't an Interactor the year before. What I'm trying to say , is that there wasn't any committed member after your sister's term and that the BOD list was left empty, how are we suppose to elect a board when not much has been done the year before to evaluate anyone's performance? Having a person name in the members list is not enough to say that one is qualified, and this is exactly how Ainaa resort to a club election, which I somehow seems to have support amongst the Interactors.

So did I criticized Azwan's English?
Most of you seemed to a have already jump to a conclusion.

No, certainly I did not.

To be fair, read the conversation I had between Azwan that led to this assumption.

Azwan : What you think about the interact new page ah?

Ameen : I think its ok lah, its just that I don't really like the language.

Azwan : Why like cina apek like that right?

Ameen : Yea kinda, because we're representing Interact Club of SMK USJ4, thats why I feel that we should use proper language.

Azwan : Well you should see the Leo's page , their's is like worst.

blablabla

I didn't even insulted anyone. It was however Azwan himself who created a very slumber page based on his own will.

Ask me why ? did I get myself involve in so many works when I’m only the vice treasurer?

Because I believe in action not lips service and I was just determine to lead the club this term and I believe in working for what I want. And that is why I took on many jobs, it is not that I wanted to create hate or find fault with anyone.

I feel that all this bullshit has to stop and its best if we can have a discussion to set things straight because only by working together we form a great club, free from hypocrisy.

First of all I would like to thank my fellow 'challenger' (Ng I-Fern) for confirming her immaturity and at the same time disgracing herself as a fellow Interactor. This is not a reply to her blog post. I don't waste my time on people who are simply not worth it. This is my statement.

Let’s check out our potential president Ng I-Fern’s case :

1) She stated that, one should not be appointed for a high post if one is only there for a year. It was her elder sister, Ai Jing (Club President 2006/2007) who abandoned the club during her term to the extent that the Club they did not even have an installation for the following term. How is it possible to run a club without a BOD. And if you have not already recognized the legacy... Isn't it obvious now that the club needs new people to bring upon changes and not continue to rot.

2) What in the world was she thinking, for stating that the Interact Club of USJ4 is a Chinese Club? This is a very racist remark!

3) What is she talking about – is she talking about herself being threatened? How very pathetic – she has a “four year record” to lose; and I don’t have anything to lose or prove if I don't get the presidency. True, I am the new kid on the block and to even maintain a position on the BOD is already impressive for me. Now, who would be more embarrassed for losing the presidency? Who is threatening who now.

4. She criticized me by calling me a dog and always obeying teacher. Well, let me tell her something. Human being live by principles and follow rules in order to get things done the correct way. Rules are there to be followed, if you can’t, you leave. Unless you are able to bring about changes for the better. You need a very good cause to rebel. .

Just stop complaining and harping on non essential issues like Chinese club, being threatened, etc but face reality. You have something to say, you want to be President, go see the right person and state your cause. No more blabbing to tarnish the Interact Club reputation

5. Yes I don't memorize the Interact handbook. Does that make you any better?
This, I know - Interact is a Rotary-sponsored service club for young people ages 14- 18. The program gives young people an opportunity to participate in fun, meaningful service projects while developing leadership skills and meeting new friends.

Through service activities, Interactors learn the importance of:

...Developing leadership skills and personal integrity;

...Demonstrating helpfulness and respect for others;

...Advancing international understanding and goodwill.

6. I know I don't speak perfect English nor am I the best writer in the world, but at least I try to. Why are you jealous? It is something for the better, which is also in line with Interact's motion.

I would advise you to keep your composure more if you ever dream about crticizing bringing your self down to such a level of immaturity where you portray racism and prejudice. What a perfect combination of a sore loser living in denial.

I cannot imagine a person which such immaturity leading a club. Yes, I did say she has problems with her emotion and this is clearly pissing teacher off, read her blogpost(www.fernnss.blogspot.com) for yourself and evaluate my comments. Does she not have an emotional problem?

The 'Kurang Ajar' manipulation.

As a Malaysian secondary school student , I feel strongly that we as students in our youth are being highly victimized by our elderliness's ego for command over the age difference . It is understood that when ever students in school face cases over issues such as fights , discipline and rules , they are the ones who are always forced take the fall regardless on how unfair the judgement is. This is because if we refuse to be suckers by keeping quite, in pursuit for justice over us . We will than face an even heavier penalty called 'Tidak Menghormati Guru '(disrespecting teacher) in the name of 'KURANG AJAR' laid upon us whereby students can then be demerited up to 60% of the whole merit point . And even for someone who commited this as their first wrong doing in school he/she will potentially be suspended or expelled due to the lack of merit points .
This means that just because one is younger he/she does not have the right to speak up for their own and that the prosecutors are being the judges them self.
As sad as it seem, this practice of prejudism is very popular in Malaysia , in fact, there is even a saying to go with it in malay context "matikan anak jangan matikan adat".

I feel very strongly that this misuse of authority should stop. And we as student in our teens have the right to speak up on our opinion and views regardless on what ever issue or case put forward.

p/s ; The reason I'm writing this is because I've been called upon to attend the Majlis Disiplin next week because of a misunderstanding I had with led to a fight between me and my friend and I'm am very concern about this injustice practice possibly being put against me in my case.
