Article Review

Young Grads Sell Bodies for Easy Money

By: Wong Pek Mei, a.raman, Allison lai  

                                                                    

Things always happen for a reason, that’s the idea of why some people behaving oddly due to some circumstance. In this article the case is the young graduates sell bodies for money, easy money perhaps. The article says that some people among the graduates willingly sell their body for five-digit incomes even though they have diploma certificate. Even these well educated people willing to do this kind of dirty work for money, can we tell what their problem are and what cause this social dilemma?

They might have a strong education backgrounds that is in opinion only the knowledge regarding to education. They might also be really good in it but maybe not in their life voyage. Life can sometime be so cruel that makes some people minds boggling until they do something wrong or stupid without realizing it. But this kind of issues can be curb from the beginning if the person is well prepared from the beginning.  For example, the strongholds of the individual religious belief can be the most important part to avoid them from doing things like selling bodies for money. I bet none of the religious in the world says that it’s okay to sell bodies for money. So the lack of religious belief could definitely lead these people to sell their body for easy money.

Besides than religious belief, the economy factor such as the cost of living can also be the explanation for this issue. In nowadays education may not always promise a good future because the competition is beyond our power. There are too many graduates each year but not all of them are confirm to get a work not even the best graduates. Is this clear enough? When the people can’t even support them self for living even a good certificate is in their hand. When the cost of living is high, a person will do anything to survive even if it course dignity.

 Easy influence might be another factor to this problem. Some people perhaps are easy to get influence by the environment or let say the people around them. In this case, when a person can easily get five-digit incomes for just selling their body, no offends that it can influence their friends and at the same time motivate them to do the same thing. This is the type of influence that involves money, money as we know is the most important thing in our life and no wonder why some people willing to do anything to get it easily.  

Money might be the most important thing in any person life, but we must also alert that dignity perhaps is another thing that should be listed at the same level of money. Making lots of money is everybody’s dream but how we get the money is the thing that we should dream on first. Dignity is the pride of our life so when our pride is no longer obedience, what is the point of having or making a lot of money? We may not wear the same shoes and our status may not be the same, so answer this from where you’re standing.  

Ulasan Artikel

“Kesan kebiadaban di dunia siber”,  sebuah artikel oleh Dr Rahmat Ghazali yang menyentuh tentang salahlaku pengguna internet di Malaysia. Seperti mana yang diunsurkan dalam artikel ini, para pengguna internet di Malaysia menggunakan internet untuk melemparkan idealogi-idealogi yang berunsurkan kemarahan. Kenyataan ini, jika dilihat dari aspek luaran dan dalaman, mungkin tidak ramai yang sedar bahawa perkara ini semakin berleluasa dalam kalangan rakyat.

Sesuatu yang terjadi sentiasa bersebab, para pengguna ini berani menyalahgunakan kebebasan bersuara melalui internet kerana Akta  Komunikasi dan Multimedia 1998 yang telah memberi kebebasan kepada pengguna-pengguna ini.  Lalu semakin ramailah yang tampil dengan ideologi-ideologi berunsurkan kritikan yang mampu menggugat sesiapa sahaja di negara ini dan tidak terkecuali pihak kerajaan. Tetapi, sepertimana yang telah ditulis dalam artikel ini, para pengguna ini tidak terlepas daripada Akta Fitnah, Akta Hasutan, Akta Rahsia Rasmi dan Akta Keselamatan dalam negeri. Akta-akta ini mungkin akan menjadi lebih berkesan jika Akta Komunikasi dipinda supaya penngguna tidak dapat mengkritik apa-apa hal yang berkenaan dengan kerajaan. Imej kerajaan perlu dijaga dan tidak sewenang-wenangnya dikritik oleh mana-mana pihak.

Kebebasan menggunakan Internet diberikan supaya ia dapat memudahakan pengguna agar dapat berkongsi pendapat dan meningkatkan percambahan maklumat yang mampu membantu membangunkan intelek rakyat Malaysia. Ini adalah fator utama mengapa kerajaan memberi kelonggaran ini yang kemudiannya telah di salagunakan oleh segelintir pengguna yang tidak bermoral.

Perkara-perkara yang sebegini secara tidak langsung telah bercanggah dengan gagasan 1 Malaysia dimana motifnya adalah untuk merapatkan jurang perkauman diantara etnik di Malaysia. Perkara-perkara yang di maksudkan adalah artikel-artikel yang terdapat dalam internet dimana ia mencaci setiap kaum di Malaysia (berdasarkan kajian Dr Rahmat,2010).

Masalah ini semakin hari semakin meruncing dan boleh dikategorikan sebagai ‘penyakit internet’. Mungkin juga ia merupakan salah satu faktor mengapa perbalahan kaum sering berlaku di negara ini. Laman sosial yang sepatutnya digunakan untuk bersosial telah disalahgunakan untuk membuat onar. Mengapa ia berlaku? Siapakah yang perlu dipersalahkan?  Tepuklah dada tanyalah selera.
