DLE-116 PLKN

PLKN or "Pusat Latihan Khidmat Negara" is a training program to equip the teenagers today with surviving skills, well that is how I see it. The main reason for it is actually to bond teenagers of different race and backgrounds. This is a very optimist program from Datuk Najib Abdul Razak, well before the goals are achieved; he must overcome the cons of this program. With bringing together different races is the main problem, the problem within a race is one problem to bring up. And also the mix up of gender, boys and girls together; what do you get? Well, let me start with the first, rivalries within race. Malays against their religion, Indians have their own clan and Chinese who fight for money. These are the internal ones that they should overcome before mixing them with other races, many conflicts could happen if they just skip thsi step and go on to the next. Secondly, the mix of gender of boys and girls. This is good exposure for those who studied at St. Johns or Convent. But this opportunity might be misused by them and things that we don't want to happen could arise from the crypt. These days, case of rape and kill have arosen dramatically and it's not stopping. Thses would not make the management guilty but it could make the participants or the students being haunted by the incident times and times. Before this could happen I suggest that we stop doing this program and plan another one that is suitable for our multiracial country.
