Anjakan Paradigma (Dwibahasa/Bilingual)
Coretan Tuntas Program Belia Antarabangsa Malaysia Kelima
Tarikh: 21-25 Julai 2018
Tempat: Bangi Avenue, Bangi, Selangor dan Kampung Pelegong, Labu, Negeri Sembilan
Alhamdulillah, aku bersyukur ke hadrat-Nya atas kesempatan dan peluang untuk menyertai program ini. Dalam lembaran sejarah hidupku, inilah program antarabangsa ketiga yang telah aku sertai selepas Program Jaringan Pendidikan Antarabangsa Malaysia-Turki 2014 dan Simposium Antarabangsa Sekolah Berasrama Penuh (FRSIS2017).
2. Mensyukuri Segala Nikmat yang Dikurniakan
Sepanjang kami berada di Kampung Pelegong, aku melihat sebahagian besar teman-temanku ini memakan buah-buahan tempatan yakni Durian, Rambutan dan Manggis dengan begitu berselera sekali! Hampir setiap kali kami pulang ke rumah, ada sahaja buah-buahan yang mereka petik untuk mengisi perut yang lapar dek seharian kesibukan menjalani pelbagai aktiviti seperti Lawatan ke Kolam Ikan, Kandang Lembu, Ladang Getah dan Demonstrasi Memasak Lauk Masak Lemak Cili Api, Lemang dan Cekodok
Melihat keadaan sedemikian rupa, aku tertanya-tanya akan hal tersebut..
Selepas bertanya kepada mereka, rupa-rupanya, mereka sangat menghargai peluang untuk memakan buah-buahan tempatan di sini sepuas-puasnya kerana di negara mereka, khazanah alam tersebut adalah sangat mahal dan bukan mudah untuk mendapatkannya dengan jumlah yang banyak.
Oleh itu, marilah kita bersama-sama mensyukuri segala nikmat yang dikurniakan oleh-Nya kerana masih ada teman-teman kita di luar sana yang kurang bernasib baik berbanding kita di sini...
3. Raikan Kepelbagaian
Melalui program ini, aku juga dapat menghayati kepelbagaian budaya dan adat tradisi yang terdapat di rantau ASEAN yang bertuah ini. Semasa Malam Kebudayaan berlangsung, setiap perwakilan negara termasuklah dari Malaysia akan mempersembahan tarian/nyanyian dll yang menggambarkan ciri kebangsaan negara mereka. Setelah menyaksikan dan menghayati setiap pertunjukan, aku merasakan bahawa rantau Asia ini sememangnya unik dengan kepelbagaian budaya dan tradisi yang masih terpelihara walaupun pernah dijajah oleh kolonialis-kolonialis yang cuba membawa masuk budaya asing ke dalam negara-negara yang dijajah oleh mereka terutamanya di rantau ASEAN ini...
Tuntasnya, program Pertukaran Belia Antarabangsa Malaysia ini banyak mengajarku erti kesyukuran dan sayang akan tanah air di samping membuka minda dalam meraikan kepelbagaian yang ada di rantau ini. Jutaan Terima kasih buat KBS, MBM dan PKPIM atas ruang dan peluang untuk menyertai program ini dan moga-moga aku diberi peluang seumpama ini lagi pada masa akan datang, Insya-Allah..

Brief Reflection on 5th Malaysia International Youth Exchange
Date: 21-25 July 2018
Location: Bangi Avenue, Bangi, Selangor and Pelegong Village, Labu, Negeri Sembilan
Alhamdulillah, I'm grateful to Him for the opportunity to participate in this program. In my whole life, this is the third international program that I joined after the Malaysia-Turkey International Education Networking Program 2014 held in Turkey and Fully Residential School International Symposium (FRSIS2017) held at my school.
Throughout the program, I had the opportunity to meet and interact with regional friends from Southeast Asian countries such as the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia and Singapore. In fact, there were two Pakistanis and a Mongolian who also participated in this program. Most of them are leaders of youth organizations and students in their countries. There were so many ideas, opinions and contributions which I exchanged with them during the program.
According to a Malay proverb ...
Berjalan jauh banyak dilihat...
Which means, if you travel far away from home, there are lots of things and knowledge that you will acquire in becoming a better person...
Despite the fact that the program was held in my own homeland, I can still feel the atmosphere of life as if in their country through the stories shared by them.
Therefore, here, I will write a sharing post briefly regarding my own self-reflection and thoughts on this program...
1. The Importance of Defending National Customs, Culture and Heritage
According to one of my friends from the Philippines, he is very impressed with our ability to defend our traditional customs and culture of the nation such as Adat Perpatih and Temenggung. He said, in Philippines, their nation's culture has eroded due to the influence from the foreign culture (West). Thinking about the effects of these influences, I was puzzled with some of us here who obsessed too much with foreign culture and look down upon our national culture. Meanwhile, they are impressed with our traditional traditions here such as the caklempong, kompang, lemang, Minangkabau wedding ceremony and others until now, they still craving the local dishes like Masak Lemak Cili Api, Nasi Lemak, Ayam Masak Kurma, Kari Ayam et cetera after they returned to their home country. Hopefully, we can continue to protect the historic culture of this country from vanishing.
2. Be Thankful for His Rewards
During staying in Pelegong Village, I saw most of my friends eating lots of local fruits such as Durian, Rambutan and Mangosteen! Almost every time when we went home, there were many fruits that they picked up after a long-day with packed activities such as the Visit to Fish Pond, Dairy Farm, Rubber Farm and Masak Lemak Cili Api, Lemang and Fritters/Cekodok Cooking Demonstration
Seeing such situation, I was wondering about it...
After asking them, they said that they appreciated the opportunity to eat local fruits here as much as they can as in their country, this fruits are very expensive and it is not easy to get it with a large amount.
Therefore, let us be grateful for all the blessings He has given to us as there are still some of our friends out there who are less fortunate compared to us here...
3. Appreciate the Diversity
Through this program, I also learnt to appreciate the diversity of traditional cultures and traditions that can be found in our region. During the Cultural Night, each country representatives including Malaysia have to perform any performances such as dancing/singing etc that reflect the national characteristics of their country. While watching every single show, I honestly felt that this Asian region was so unique with the diversity of cultures and traditions that still preserved despite the colonization by colonialists which trying to bring foreign cultures into the countries occupied by them, especially in this ASEAN region...
In a nutshell, the 5th Malaysia International Youth Exchange program has taught me the sense of gratitude and patriotic as well as opening up the mind in appreciating the diversity in this region. Lots of thanks to the Ministry of Youth and Sports, Malaysian Youth Council and PKPIM for the opportunity to participate in this program and hopefully, I'll be given this kind of opportunity again in the future, Insya-Allah...

Dalam lembaran sejarah hidupku, inilah program antarabangsa ketiga yang telah aku sertai selepas Program Jaringan Pendidikan Antarabangsa Malaysia-Turki 2014 dan Simposium Antarabangsa Sekolah Berasrama Penuh (FRSIS2017).
Sepanjang program ini berlangsung, aku berkesempatan untuk bertemu dan menyantuni teman-teman serantau dari negara-negara Asia Tenggara seperti Filipina, Vietnam, Kemboja, Thailand, Indonesia dan Singapura. Malah, dua orang rakan dari Pakistan dan seorang dari Mongolia juga turut serta dalam program ini. Kebanyakan daripada mereka merupakan pemimpin-pemimpin pertubuhan belia dan mahasiswa di negara mereka. Terlampau banyak dapatan idea, pendapat dan sumbangsaran yang aku peroleh daripada mereka terhadap ibu pertiwi kita yang tercinta ini.
Betul kata orang..
Berjalan jauh banyak dilihat...
Walaupun pada hakikatnya program ini diadakan di tanah airku sendiri, aku tetap dapat merasai suasana kehidupan seolah-olah berada di negara mereka.
Baiklah, di sini akan ku coretkan setiap refleksi secara ringkas buat renungan diri ini dan teman-teman pembaca sekalian...
- Kepentingan Mempertahankan Adat, Budaya dan Warisan Kebangsaan
Menurut salah seorang temanku dari Filipina, dia sangat kagum dengan keupayaan kita dalam mempertahankan adat dan budaya tradisional bangsa seperti Adat Perpatih dan Temenggung. Kata beliau, di Filipina, budaya bangsa mereka sudah terhakis dek ditelan arus pengaruh budaya negara atas angin (Barat). Sambil memikirkan kesan pengaruh tersebut, aku menjadi hairan dengan segelintir daripada kita di sini yang asyik memuja kebudayaan asing itu dan memandang hina budaya bangsa sendiri. Sedangkan, teman2 serantau yang lain sungguh kagum dengan adat tradisi kita di sini umpama alat muzik caklempong, kompang, lemang, adat perkahwinan Minangkabau dan sehingga hari ini, mereka masih merindui masakan tempatan seperti Masak Lemak Cili Api, Nasi Lemak, Ayam Masak Kurma, Kari Ayam dan lain-lain walaupun sudah pulang ke negara mereka. Semoga kita dapat terus mempertahankan warisan negara ini agar tidak lapuk dek hujan, tak lekang dek panas.
