GENDER

This article is about gender matter. Wanita MCA head Datuk Dr Ng Yen Yen’s statement that men in the party did not want a woman as their chief has drawn a mixed response from politicians. Some of them said gender was non-issue when it came to the party and men in the Gerakan did not share the same sentiments. I don’t think gender is a big problem among us, who wants to be in a high position whether man or woman, if they capable and has all the leadership qualities so they can be. Of course men can be a good leader but in the other side they need woman to be better in their work. Many of them think that women just stay at home and do their work as a housewife, take care their children and so on, but today woman focus not just in home but also in their own career. So everyone can be the best whether women or men.

COMMUNITY

This article share about crime prevention: Let’s built safer communities. In the wake of such criminal acts against children, we need to do more to educate children on how to protect themselves. Protecting children from despicable criminal acts is the responsibility of all. Protection of children must start from the parents and the home. I strongly advocate that child-safety education be introduced in primary schools as children can be proven to be the most vulnerable, in the absence of safety education, to criminals. Local authorities need to identify more areas for the installation of closed-circuit television cameras and play closer attention to good lighting in back lanes and dark alleys. A holistic approach is needed to ensure elements of the safety culture are integrated into the community’s overall development.
