The Doctor who Rocks the World

by Nor Hidayati Mokhtar

A Book Review on A Doctor In the House by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad

Labeled as tyrannical dictator, racist and bigheaded, but being also a courageous and outspoken defender of the downtrodden, this Malaysian born brainchild inspired the Third World for a more hopeful future.

Label whatever. The amount of his haters could be as much as the amount of his lovers, but Tun Dr Mahathir proves his dexterity to turn Malaysia into an industrial powerhouse. Malaysia is made famous and successful through his 22 years regime.

The fast selling autobiography, A Doctor in the House depicts the Memoirs of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, the 4th Prime Minister of Malaysia.

A Doctor in the House is a transparent, controversial yet straightforward piece of writing about the ups and downs in his life as a great politician and leader.

Becoming Prime Minister, Currency Crumble, The Malay Dilemma, Anwar’s Challenge are among the 62 chapters that are written in the most humble, sincere yet with sly humor way of telling the story of his life.

With the simple lexis, this book is an enjoyable journey about his life about the notable steps he took before getting down to decision on making outstanding policy for the country.

The launching of the awaited, controversial autobiography of Malaysia's greatest mind

Tun also expressed quite a number of deprecating cynical upon many prominent people entailing in his life including friends and foes.

This autobiography is a good start to become a better person in life – as he gave full of the unintentional advices.

“I cannot imagine what growing up in a polygamous family would have been like…Bitterness would eat at the heart of the household. I would never dream of taking another wife and causing (Tun Dr Siti) Hasmah and my children anguish and pain…”- Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad

A Doctor in the House is the best book to learn how he thinks and how he felt throughout his uncommon experience. His way of dealing with the difficulties and the way he see things is the best inspiration of coping with our own life.

“If one wants to get things done one must be single-minded and determined,”
– Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

For a great story of the greatest leader and to appreciate the best Prime Minister Malaysians could ever have, there are always great reasons to spend hundred on it.

Tun during the launching. healthy and strong as ever. :)

P.S: Spent a hundred on it? I did. :) But when could I see him face to face? hurm... just berdoa je la..

A ‘pow-wow’ without the ‘wow’ factor
By Nor Hidayati Mokhtar

KUALA LUMPUR: The first-ever gathering of varsity students from public and private universities across the country failed to live up to expectations.

The much-hyped National Students Assembly (Perhimpunan Mahasiswa Negara) attracted a mere 211 undergraduates instead of the anticipated thousands following months of promotion by the organisers through social networking site Facebook.

The only silver lining from the event held at the Chinese Assembly Hall on Jan 11 was that the attendees represented the relatively high number of 86 institutions of higher learning.

Originally mooted by Universiti Malaya student Fahmi Reza, the event was intended as a platform to build solidarity among students on issues related to their education and welfare.

Many students, however, expressed disappointment at the poor turnout and questioned whether their peers were interested in student rights like their predecessors in the 1960s.

Poh Wee Chern from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) lamented the low interest in any of the seminars or forums held during the Assembly.

“How can we hope to build a better generation when many of us don’t seem to bothered with the issues and problems affecting students, let alone the community that we live in,” he told Varsity Voice.

Other students from both public and private universities and colleges such as Universiti Malaysia Kelantan (UMK), Segi College and Multimedia University expressed similar sentiments, noting their problems would never be resolved given the apparent apathy from the wider student fraternity.

Despite the rocky start, students pledged to hold a meeting every weekend while the Assembly succeeded in passing several notable resolutions.

Among them were resolutions to establish a students’ cooperative (Koperasi Mahasiswa) to support their welfare, greater student autonomy as well as student empowerment via the Respective Student Councils and Student Unions.

They were also decided to hold a National Students Assembly meeting each weekend.

The National Student Assembly featured a newly-formed ‘Students’ Parliament’ with draft bills presented by the registered speakers. To be passed, bills required votes from two thirds of the members of the Students’ Parliament.

p.s : pix tu pix budak yg pegy PNM ni...pix dia pun kuar dlm Varsity Voice...ehm..lau TNC dapat dia memang selamat la..huhu

Press Council for Media Practitioners

By Nor Hidayati Mokhtar

Colloquium panelists from left; Prof Dr Aziz Bari, Razali Awang and Datuk Zaini Hassan with Sir Ahmad Faisal as the moderator

SHAH ALAM: An indipendent Press Council should be constructed for the freedom of the press and protection of media practitioners rights and securities.

Utusan Malaysia editor Datuk Mohd Zaini Hassan insisted that this Council would apply the check and balance for news report in the local mass media.

He said this during the Universiti Teknologi MARA's (UiTM) 24th colloquium on the criticism of the media themed "Journalism, Law and the Country" here today.

The colloquium which featured Mohd Zaini, International Islamic Univeristy, Malaysia law lecturer Prof Dr Abdul Aziz Bari and TV3 journalist and producer Razali Awang as the pannellist peeled the topic from different perspectives.

Dr Abdul Aziz expressed his worry upon the fairness for all sides in the community, and he hoped that the application should be free from any intervention including the authority.

Meanwhile Senior Reporter for TV3 under Media Prima Group Berhad, Razali Awang who first shared his experience being fought by the extreme political supporters hoped the Council would become true.

Being asked about whether the Council should be considered as 'royal', Razali cited that it should not meant for media to misuse the power given for them.

Instead, the council should be outlined of course by the media representatives, but certainly not all of them.

He who gave his full support for the Council believe that this Council could protect the welfare of the press and to keep on surviving the news ethics in reporting.

my comment: the Colloquium was of course a grateful success for us, but for the panelists, it was like a war between Dr Aziz and Datuk Zaini. Well. worth to be watched. A Law expertise vs a Media expertise. Again, who is true? Let the public & community decide. :)

Well, these are all the pixs taken by us during the colloquium.. hihi.. bukan slalu leh pakai korporat...so bgaya sakan ler...
