Encik Ahmad Bin Ibrahim

Pensyarah,

Universiti Malaysia PAHANG

Assalamualaikum w.b.t..,

Terlebih dahulu saya selaku Ketua kumpulan Lantai-debu ingin merakamkan setinggi-tinggi ucapan terima kasih yang tidak terhingga kepada Encik Ahmad Bin Ibrahim selaku Pensyarah bagi subjek Hubungan Etnik bagi Semester 1 2010/2011. Pelbagai aktiviti telah dilakukan dan diterjemahkan oleh En. Ahmad Bin Ibrahim bagi memupuk satu kumpulan sasar terutamanya kepada pelajar-pelajar untuk menanamkan sifat-sifat rasa tanggungjawab terhadap negara. Sememangnya bila disebut subjek Hubungan Etnik, ramai menganggap ianya subjek yang biasa, tetapi adakah anda faham disebalik pengertian Hubungan Etnik itu sendiri?. Mungkin selama ini anda terlepas pandang pelbagai sejarah-sejarah lampau yang telah membentukkan negara Malaysia yang harmoni ini. Dalam konteks pembelajaran Hubungan Etnik, pelbagai maklumat-maklumat baru kita dapat ketahui dan dapat dibincangkan sepanjang mengikuti kelas tersebut. Walaupun pelbagai aktiviti yang dirancang dianggap suatu aktiviti biasa, tetapi ianya mampu membawa mesej-mesej yang tertentu. Seingat saya, tiada subjek yang ditawarkan oleh Universiti yang mempunyai pelbagai aktiviti sebegini khasnya dalam menjurus pemahaman yang lebih berfokuskan kepada hubungan etnik di negara ini. Sekalung Tahniah saya ucapkan kepada Encik Ahmad Bin Ibrahim kerana telah membimbing semua generasi pelajar ke arah matlamat mewujudkan sifat-sifat yang positif antaranya memastikan kehadiran yang lebih awal dalam proses pembelajaran di dalam kelas. Mungkin selama ini ada segelintir pelajar yang pernah datang lewat, tetapi dari pemerhatian saya, ada yang telah melakukan sedikit perubahan dari sebelumnya. Terima kasih atas perubahan sikap yang telah ditunjukkan.

Akhir kata, saya serta warga kumpulan Lantai-debu ingin memohon maaf andai kata kami telah melakukan kesilapan sepanjang proses pembelajaran Hubungan Etnik dan segala aktiviti yang dianjurkan, kami sekumpulan telah berusaha memberikan satu komitmen yang terbaik.Mohon berkat dan doa Encik Ahmad agar segala soalan peperiksaan akhir dipermudahkan bagi kami semua iaitu dengan harapan segala target kami semua untuk mendapatkan "A" termakbul.InsyaAllah..amin..

wassalam.,

What is Social relation

Social Relations takes as its focus the relationships between people and their social world. Social relation or social interaction refers to a relationship between two, three or more individuals . Social relations, derived from individual agency, form the basis of the social structure. Fundamental enquiries into the nature of social relations are to be found in the work of the classical sociologists, for example, in Max Weber's theory of social action. Further categories must be established in the abstract in order to form observations and conduct social research, such as Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft or "collective consciousness".
Forms of relation and interaction in sociology and anthropology may be described as follows: first and most basic are animal-like behaviors, i.e. various physical movements of the body. Then there are actions - movements with a meaning and purpose. Then there are social behaviors, or social actions, which address (directly or indirectly) other people, which solicit a response from another agent. Next are social contacts, a pair of social actions, which form the beginning of social interactions. Social interactions in turn form the basis of social relations.
It assumes that people are engaged in and shaped by multiple relationships, events and influences. Human experience and behavior is therefore explored, not only by taking a range of social and psychological factors into account but also, importantly, by paying close attention to the meanings and interpretations that people attach to their diverse experiences.


Significantly, Social Relations foregrounds people’s lived experience and recognises that this experience is in continual process. In this way, it invites engagement with relevant topical issues and relationships. Similarly, the experiences and meanings that ‘the learner’ has (and therefore brings to any human interaction) also become a valuable resource for exploration and insight into the dimensions of human relationships.

Social Relations is a multi disciplinary approach that draws on several theoretical methodologies in its analysis. While all of the disciplines that have typically contributed to the ‘humanities’ offer important insights about human beings and their behaviours and needs, those that primarily concern themselves with the complexities of human behaviour are psychology, sociology and anthropology. These are therefore especially important within a Social Relations framework, as they each focus from different angles on how people organise and make meaning of their world and their relationships within it.

Exploring the ways in which such relationships are produced, sustained and transformed is vitally important in establishing meaningful communication with groups and individuals. Social Relations provides a dynamic framework within which to gain rich insight and understanding about people and the social and emotional landscape of their lives.

Social Relations has particular relevance for people whose professional careers require a broad understanding of human behaviour and social relationships. Learning undertaken within this framework enhances people’s personal relationships; their workplace relations with peers, managers and customers; and their engagement and sense of belonging with the community. It is an approach that is extremely useful for promoting understanding of particular social and cultural issues and local contexts.

Happt Birthday MALAYSIA!

For information :

Malaysia Day is held on September 16 every year to commemorate the establishment of the Malaysian federation on the same date in 1963. It marked the joining together of Malaya, North Borneo, Sarawak, and Singapore to form Malaysia. The formation of the new federation was planned to occur on June 1, 1963, but was later postponed to August 31, 1963, in order to coincide with the sixth Hari Merdeka. Several issues related to the Indonesianand the Filipino objection to the formation of Malaysia delayed the declaration to September 16 of the same year. The postponement was also done to allow the United Nations team time to conduct referendums in North Borneo (now Sabah) and Sarawak regarding the two states participation in a new federation.^[1]

The formation of Malaysia was made possible through the introduction of the Malaysia Bill to the Malayan Parliament on July 9, 1963, and consent from the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on August 29, 1963.^[1]

Prior to the formation of Malaysia, Singapore and North Borneo unilaterally declared independence from the United Kingdom on August 31, 1963, thus coinciding with the sixth anniversary of the Malayan independence.

Beginning year 2010, September 16 is a federal public holiday. It coincides with the birthday of the Yang di-Pertua of Sabah.

History of MALAYSIA

Malaysia is a country in South East Asia whose strategic sea-lane position brought trade and foreign influences that fundamentally influenced its history. Hinduand Buddhist cultures imported from India dominated early Malaysian history. They reached their peak in the Sumatran-based Srivijaya civilization, whose influence extended through Sumatra, Java, the Malay Peninsula and much of Borneo from the 7th to the 14th centuries.

Although Muslims had passed through Malaysia as early as the tenth century, it was not until the 14th and 15th centuries that Islam first established itself on the Malayan Peninsular. The adoption of Islam by the fifteenth century saw the rise of number sultanates, the most prominent of which was the Melaka(Malacca). Islamic culture has had a profound influence on the Malay people, but has also been influenced by them. The Portuguese were the first European colonial powers to establish themselves in Malaysia, capturing Malacca in 1511, followed by the Dutch. However, it was the British, who after initially establishing bases at Jesselton, Kuching, Penang and Singapore, ultimately secured their hegemony across the territory that is now Malaysia. The Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1824 defined the boundaries between British Malaya and the Netherlands East Indies (which became Indonesia). A fourth phase of foreign influence was immigration of Chinese and Indian workers to meet the needs of the colonial economy created by the British in the Malay Peninsula and Borneo.^[1]

Japanese invasion during World War II ended British domination in Malaysia. The subsequent occupation from 1942 to 1945 unleashed nationalism in Malaya and Borneo. In the Peninsula, the Malayan Communist Party took up arms against the British. A tough military response was needed to end the insurgency and bring about the establishment of an independent, multi-racial Federation of Malaya in 1957. On 31 August 1963, the British territories in North Borneo and Singapore were granted independence and formed Malaysia with the Peninsular states on 16 September 1963. Approximately two years later, Singapore was expelled from the Federation. A confrontation with Indonesia occurred in the early-1960s. Race riots in 1969 led to the imposition of emergency rule, and a curtailment of political life and civil liberties which has never been fully reversed. Since 1970 the "National Front coalition" headed by United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) has governed Malaysia. Economic growth dramatically increased living standards by the 1990s. This growing prosperity helped minimise political discontent.

Race, Ethnicity, and Ethnic Relations: A Malaysian Case Study

What is Race? (Marger 16-23; Peoples and Bailey 30-31)

*The biological basis of race–assumption of hereditary factors differentiating the group from others. The primary difference between race and ethnicity is the ascription of race to biology.

*Problems with the biological conception of race. Despite the fact that race may seem obvious to you and you can easily “spot” different races, the great majority of scientists and social scientists argue that race has no biological validity.

* In Malaysia divisions between groups of people are often constructed in terms of race. The Malays, Chinese, and Indians are commonly seen as separate biological races with consequent differences in culture.

*Race as a Cultural Construct

What I want to share with you is a independence day advertisement by Petronas.

What I can see from this advertisement is, three old friends from different races, that is Malays, Chinese, India has been discovered by accident in a hospital. After that they sat together and talked about his past them. What can I say about them is the ancient story of the three very closely related although different race.After that, one of them to compare against the youth of today grew up first. Adolescents in the present is not very friendly and prefer to bring their own life path. Conclusion of this advertisement is, I can see is three old friends who are very disappointed with the attitude of the youth of today are.

Ok, what I got from this advertisement is Integration between this three old friends. Integration is a process for creating a national identity among a separate group in terms of cultural, social, and politic.
That is a lot of integration in book and I decide to choose three from it:
(1) Regional Integration. Purpose is to reducing the gap of the economy and social development of the advance state and retreat state.
(2) Culture Integration. It is to forming national culture.
(3) Social Integration. Aiming to unite the people through social programs such as sport, education or health.
As a conclusion, we all as a member of Malaysian society of various etnic group should avoid behaviour such as prejudice, stereotype,racism and discrimination. But accommodation should be practise and took it as a guide to make a good relation with other people.

Bersamamu TV3

For new task, we were asked by our lecturer to find any video or book that support united of ethnic. After we struggle from day till night only to download video (internet slow), we choose "Bersamamu TV3" as a medium that unite ethnics in this country.




"Bersamamu TV3", sponsored by Beras Faiza Basmati is a reality programme created by Media Prima TV3. From what we discuss, this reality programme have 3 main purpose. First, to provide assistance to poor or OKU people. Second, to unite ethnics and third to enlighten public.

Poor people always thought that they were being ignored and abandoned by others people just because they don't have money, week and imperfect. TV3 created "Bersamamu Tv3' to help them and make them know that our Malaysian people not forget and still care people like them.
"Bersamamu TV3" also make them happy especially OKU people like syndrome down people that need love and attention.

Furthermore, "Bersamamu TV3" also help unite all ethnics in this country. As we know, this programme run not only for one ethnic, this programme help all people from all ethnics. This make a bond between people that give help and people that received help. Others people who watch this programme also will see good values of our Malaysian people and lead to peacefulness.

This programme also enlighten public that they are lucky and perfect. Perfect people like us (not OKU) always self forgot, always waste money, capability and our ability to do something that OKU cannot do. From what "Bersamamu TV3" show, they will know that in this world have people that more imperfect. So, this can make people think twice with what they have now.

In a nut shell, this programme full of good values and also can encourage people to be good citizen. When our Malaysian have self awareness, this make our Malaysia in peace and unite all ethnics.

Today, i would like to share something about the RACISM..If we refer to the dictionary, RACISM is defined a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.

Prof Datuk Dr Shamsul Amri Baharuddin, The Ethnics Relation Module's writer said that,RACISM is defined as the views, thoughts, or negative beliefs of a social group or its members against any other group based on differences in the face of physical or biological properties such as lineage.

Now, let us give the example about the racism so that all readers can understand more about it...

This is some new issue about the racism......

The conclusion is, racism can give high impact in social lives.. Because, if racism really happen in Malaysia, the citizens can't live in peace and harmony.

The Constitution in the context of ethnic relations:
