Hi,

The survey we did for our Ethnic Relations is about "National Social Policy".The National Social Policy (NSP) is a social development policy founded on noble values and the improvement of human potential to achieve social integrity and stability, national fortitude and well-being for a progressive and established Malaysian society.The objective of this survey is to investigate the understanding about the "National Social Policy".

There were 10 responses for our survey.Here is the information about it.

For the first question "Who implement machinery of the National Social Policy in the state level?", 4 people answered Chief Minister , 3 people answered Prime Minister and 3 people answered Secretary of State Parliament.The correct answer for this question is Chief Minister.

While for the second question "Which of the following is the highest body at the federal level under the National Social Policy?", 4 people answered Parliament Council, 6 National Social Council and 0 for National Election Council.The "National Social Council" is the correct answer for this question.

The third question "What is the objective of National Social Policy?", 1 person answered Create a clean environment, 8 people answered "To consolidate and develop the social support system and support" while 1 person answered "To maintain good relationship with foreign country".The second choice answered by 8 people is the correct answer for this question.

For the fourth question "Balanced development and social progress includes the development of...", 5 people answered integration, 1 person answered segregation and 4 people answered physical and spiritual.The answer physical and spiritual is the correct answer.

For the last question based on a statement 4 people answered to develop and empower humans for life, 4 people answered to ensure that the basic necessities of the individual, family and community are provided for and 2 people answered to generate multi sector synergy.To develop and empower humans for life is the correct answer for this question.

Through this survey we have found out that only 60 percent of the people answered the survey really understand about the "National Social Policy".This policy should be advertised more so that Malaysian will understand about the objective of this policy. That all about the survey.Thank you for reading this post.

Hi, I am going to share about a video which I presented in the Ethnic Relation class. The title of this video is "Skim Rondaan Sukarela", which I have downloaded from the official website of 'Department Of National Unity and National Integration. This video is about people in a neighborhood area consists of many races , such as Malay, Chinese, Indian etc.These people form a "Voluntary Patrol Scheme" to protect their neighborhood area from crime such as robbery.

In my opinion this kind of scheme can enhance neighborhood spirit among local residents.They have time to communicate to each other during this activity.The people can get to know about each very well.Thus it can prevent the problem caused by racial issues.It can create an harmonious society.This kind of activity should held throughout the country so that we can form an united country.We must be united so that we can withstand any problem . That all about the video.You can watch the video in previous post.Thank you.

In our previous ethnic relation class (30 Sept 2010), we were asked to give definition of policy. There are different definition of policy :

i) The settled method by which the government and affairs of a nation are, or may be, administered; a system of a public or official administration , as designed to promote the external or internal prosperity of a state.

ii) A course of action , guiding principle, procedure considered expedient, prudent, or advantageous.

iii) A written contract or certificate of insurance.

The first definition (i) above was discussed mainly in the class. There are many policies in Malaysia to achieve prosperity of the state.These policies includes National Social Policy, National Education Policy ,National Telecommunication Policy, Sogoshosha Malaysia and more.The policy selected by our group to do the online survey is "National Social Policy". I hope our survey will have good response. That all for today .Thank you.

**The MAGERAN (NOC) Panels

Good day to everybody.During ethnic relation class the lecturer gave us the activity to wrote drama.After that we were supposed to act out the drama. Each group were given different topics, it is about Malaysia and ethnic relation.Our topic is about MAGERAN (NOC), Separation of Singapore and the 1969 riots. Although we are not very good in writing script for a drama, we managed to wrote something regarding our topic.Me and my group members Chio , Anis , Devi and Valli try to act out the drama. Although our acting skill is not very good , but I hope my classmates have understood the main idea of our drama.

This drama is the most interesting activity I have done in the class. Usually we are encouraged to do presentation only and we are not familiar with this kind of activity.Through this activity I can improve my creativity and acting skills.I really enjoyed myself throughout this activity in the class. I can understand about other topics about Malaysia when other group act out their drama. The acting of few group is very funny, even though their topic is about serious issues. I am really amazed to see their creativity.

In the class I have learned more about Malaysia and on the other hand I also enjoyed myself. That all about the drama presentation. Bye.
