Kata-kata Aluan Pengetua


Guru bahasa dan pengkaryaan seiya sekata, seiring sejalan". Berasal

daripada impian dan hasrat murni untuk menterjemahkan idea-idea
kreatif guru dan pelajar kepada bahan cetakan akhirnya penerbitan
sulung "Karya Kita" berlabuh di pelabuhan kekal. Sesungguhnya, banyak
masa dikorbankan malahan titis-titis peluh yang jatuh mengiringi usaha
murni ini dengan pelbagai kekangan. Keterbatasan masa, komunikasi
serta terhadnya pengalaman tidak melunturkan semangat malahan telah
memacu semangat para guru dan pelajar untuk merealisasikan penerbitan
ini. Kejayaan ini merupakan terjemahan paling tepat untuk moto sekolah
iaitu "Kami Impikan, Kami Jayakan". Bermula dengan impian dan berakhir
dengan sebuah kejayaan.

Sekalung tahniah dan ucapan terima kasih diucapkan kepada Unit
Bahasa SMKPT yang diterajui oleh Pn. Wong Onn Nie, Ketua Bidang
Bahasa, ditunjangi oleh Munsyi Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka, Tn. Hj. Jafri bin
Hj. Idris, semua guru yang menjadi tulang belakang penerbitan juga tidak
dilupakan semua penyumbang karya. Sesungguhnya, ucapan terima kasih
tidak pernah mencukupi untuk menzahirkan rasa syukur, bangga dan
penghargaan saya di atas sumbangan semua individu yang terlibat dalam
usaha ini. Adalah diharapkan usaha kreatif ini tidak berhenti hanya pada
buah sulung ini tetapi merintis jalan ke arah pengkaryaan yang mampu
memenuhi kesemua pancaindera pembaca dan akan menjadi 'hasil
tangan' Unit Bahasa SMKPT dengan garapan tema dan genre penulisan
yang lebih pelbagai. Takkan bahasa hilang di dunia selagi manusia wujud
di Bumi, cetusan rasa takkan pernah menjadi tawar kecuali manusia hilang
mata hati. Teruskan berkarya!

SELOKA KITA Kita yang pilih menjadi pengajar,
YANG PILIH Agar kemajuan dapat dikejar,
Bergelumang murid tak mahu belajar,
Darah naik, mukapun pijar

Kita yang pilih menjadi guru, Kita yang pilih jadi ilmuwan,
Dikatakan rezeki, dah sampai seru, Jahil dan bodoh tekad dilawan,
Terjumpa murid yang haru-biru, Kerja bertimbun timbulkan sawan,
Fikiran kusut, jiwa celaru Hati yang ceria bertukar rawan

Kita yang pilih menjadi guru, Kita yang pilih kerjaya suci,
Niat nak wujudkan generasi baharu, Kadang disanjung,kadang dibenci,
Disembur ibu bapa bertih peluru, Jika dipanah nista dan caci,
Kepala tak gatalpun terpaksa digaru Janganlah menyesal walau seinci

Kita yang pilih jadi pendidik, Kita yang pilih menjadi kita,
Nawaitu lahirkan generasi cerdik, Menabur bakti, rakyat jelata,
Kenyang dimarah, sumpah dan herdik, Kita tunaikan, janji dikota,
Diserang Parkinson, tergedik-gedik Jangan sesal walau sehasta

Kita yang pilih menjadi cikgu, Hj Jafri
Tekad yang bulat tak pernah ragu,

Martabat
Peribadi

Regina Bolilit

Sudah berapa jauh langkahmu dalam kehidupan ini?
Berapa berat bebanan kesusahanmu mengiringi nafasmu?

Kelelahanmu…sudah cukup meranapkan tubuhmu?



Sejauh mana kejujuranmu menyuburkan kepercayaan?
Berapa banyak kasih sayangmu disemai di jiwa insan sekelilingmu?

Berapa nilai persahabatanmu di mata insan yang punya rasa?



Cemburu...sangat tinggi kuasanya hingga mampu meruntuhkan
sebuah persahabatan.

Harga diri menjadi lelongan umpama rumput yang hanya layak diinjak.
Tubuh lelongan dipenuhi pisau-pisau tertusuk setiap inci belakangmu.



Adakah tanggungjawab kita selama ini rapuh?
Adakah amanah itu dibaluti dengan kepalsuan?

Adakah hakiki itu duri di mata manusia?



Biarlah kembara itu menjauh,
Ilmu menggunung sudah pasti dalam genggaman,

Ilmu memartabatkan keutuhan peribadi,
Peribadi yang terletak di posisi sebenar.

Bulan

Nallys Pilo

Bulan,
Terbitmu pasti didongak
Lalu menyimpul dahaga rindu
Sinar kuning putihmu menjanjikan bahagia

Bulan,
Tapi kau tidak pernah hadir bersama pelangi
Meski kusimpul angan beribu
Tetap saja hadirmu bertabirkan gelap.

Bulan,
Bila wajahmu kutatap
Rona hitam tercalit
Mencacatkan tampan dan anggunmu
Dan kini aku tidak lagi memujamu
Kerana engkau bukan untuk dimiliki
Hanya untuk mimpi dan anganan.

Bulan,
Terbitmu pelbagai rupa dan terduga
Walau sukar diterima
Tetaplah bersinar seperti dirimu
Tetaplah menjadi baik
Berdamailah dengan keadaan
Jangan menyerah dan tetaplah indah
Pada sebuah mimpi.

MY LITTLE
MELANCHOLY

AUDRA MELISSA LAGASON

My little Melancholy,
Dancing gracefully in between empty spaces,
In the deepest heart where it rests,
Reluctant to leave, devoted and real,
Oh, such anguish, still it lingers,
Concealed in jubilation,
Signalling mixed interpretation.

My little Melancholy,
Illegal it may seem,
That can only be agonized by the perpetrator,
That can only be understood by the sufferer,
The constant throbbing sensation,
of distress,
In the dimension of the fakes,
Where mind hardly fathoms,
Of what’s left and what’s right?

A Teacher's Heart

Grace Yong

A teacher’s heart is not made of fossil stones,
A teacher’s heart is not made of hot iron,

A teachers' heart is not made of luxurious diamond,
Or

Made of priceless dust.
A teacher’s heart is made of tender love that loves endlessly,
A teacher’s heart is made of passion and compassionate striving to instill knowledge,
A teacher’s heart is made of blood and tears enduring all unexpected circumstances.

Dear students,
Teachers are human too, rich with emotions that sometimes difficult to hide.
Teachers tend to covertly nursing their wounds when someone behaved unnecessarily
Teachers constantly gulping down each emptiness they feel when everyone left the

requests unattended
Fellow teachers,

Not everyone is chosen to be a teacher,
No ordinary individuals can simply be a teacher,
Only those who have heart of a teacher will become one.

Of Pedagogies & 13
Possibilities

Wong On
n Nie



As I sit and lament, on the crisis at hand;
I remembered a time, of pedagogies sure;
When students would convene, with classes to attend;
I would enter and teach, with books and composure.
Once it was a struggle, to hush the student’s gags;
Now I try but fumble, to break the silent air;
Marking papers was easy with no system lags
Now I can’t help but wonder, ‘do they even care?’



But isn’t this the test of a teacher’s profession?
To overcome challenges, our great commission;

As we employ new methods in adversity,
We expand our minds finding possibility;
Through troubles and toils, we adapt and persevere,
Our dues repaid in full, their futures bright and clear.

Sorrow, heartache, pain
Cuts like a knife

Non Face-to-face Teaching

Immaculata Demetra Dionysius Asai

The Covid-19 pandemic is a crisis that has affected almost every field globally, including education (Ayittey et. al.,
2020). In March 2020, following an alarming rise in the number of Covid-19 cases, the Malaysian government

implemented the first Movement Control Order (MCO) in order to contain the spread of the virus. This MCO came
with stricter regulations, which included the closure of all educational facilities. Therefore, educators and students
are left with no other choice but to resort to other means such as online, offline or off-site teaching and learning in
order to sustain educational activities. In this article, online learning is used interchangeably with 'non face-to-face

teaching and learning', and it will be the central issue explored at hand.

curriculum and to finally move
towards digital literacy. Previously, in
the traditional classroom, students
are prohibited from bringing their
mobile phones, but in this current
mode of learning, their lessons are
'in' their mobile phones. A device
with Internet is a highly imperative
tool in education nowadays.

Generally, the two student
interviewees display a 'readiness for
online learning', a concept proposed
by Warner et. al (1998) in the
Australian vocational education and
training sector. There are three main
aspects for this: (1) the student’s
preference for the way of delivery
opposed to face-to-face classroom
instruction; (2) student’s confidence
in the utilising the electronic
communication for learning which
includes competence and trust in the
use of the Internet and computer-
based communication; and (3)
capability to engage in autonomous
learning.

The data gathered from these
interviews showed that strengths
and opportunities outweigh the
weaknesses, but there are also
other challenges that need to be
overcome in order to make non face-
to-face teaching and learning more
effective. As the length of this
pandemic is uncertain, students
have to be open and adapt to these
changes in the learning
environment, with support by their
parents, as well as being strong-
willed in overcoming the challenges
that may come along the way.

Takdir Ilahi

Nor Farasita binti Mohammad Nor (5k1)



Dentuman guruh dilangit,
Menyedarkan aku dalam tidur lenaku

Dihiasi angan-angan
Yang tak mungkin ku kecapi.



Ku ingin luahkan perasaan terpendam,

Namun pada siapa?
Ku ingin ceritakan tentang diri ku

Namun pada siapa?



Langkah demi langkah ku menghitung usiaku
Lambaian tangan berulang-ulang

Terkakulah aku, memilih jalan kejayaan yang terletak di
kanan dan kiri ku

Ya Allah berikanlah petunjuk kepada hamba-Mu
Ke arah kejayaan, pengorbanan ku.


Aku terkulai-kulai menanti jawapan,
Aku alpa menanti kejayaan,
Noktah noktah persoalan hidupku ,
belum ada jawapan.



Dentuman guruh di langit sekali lagi berbunyi
di hiasi pelangi penuh warna-warni,

Baru aku menyedari, perjalan hidup ini
adalah takdir Ilahi.

TERUNTUK MANUSIA
YANG MERASA JANGGAL

NUR MASHITA RABIYAH SYAMSIR (3K1)

Teruntuk insan yang sering merasa gagal,
Bangkitlah dan berkata “belum berhasil”.

Dirimu hanya perlu istirahat seketika,
Bukan kata, “ah! Lebih baik putus asa saja.”



Teruntuk insan yang sering merasa gagal,

Tidak apa jika terlihat lemah,
Kerana itu lumrah manusia.
Terlihat lemah bukanlah hal yang bertentangan dengan agama,
Mengapa harus tunjuk bahagia, sedangkan dirimu tidak baik-baik saja?



Teruntuk insan yang sering merasa gagal,

Ingatlah hidup itu seperti roda,
Kadang di atas, kadang dibawah.
Bila di posisi nyaman, bersyukurlah,
Dan jika di posisi bawah, bangkitlah mencari dirimu semula.

Nor Farasita binti Mohammad Nor (5K1)

Aur ditebing menunggu pepatung membelai manja,
Pelangi melingkar diruang mata, titisan gerimis
menyirami bumi.

Suara unggas malang riuh, menganggu ketenangan,
Aku bertanya, kamu siapa?, Mereka siapa? Diriku
siapa?!
Wahai guru pembimbingku, memberi tunjuk ajar
kepadaku,
Mengapa kamu diam?
Mengapa kamu kaku?
Mengapa kamu terpaku?
Apakah aku harus bertanya pada pepohon, pada
batu, pada gunung yang sedang memerhati
tingkahku?!

Ooooooo
Aku teringat, aku menjerit sekuatnya
memperingatkan kamu manusia,
Fara!, Farasita!, Norfarasita!
Angkatlah jari jemarimu, tunjukilah keangkuhanmu,,
ketepikan nostalgia yang menjadi kealpaan didalam
minda mu,
Angkatlah kakimu melangkah, kejarlah masa depan
Yang tak pasti dihadapan mu.

Hidup Itu Sukar

Dayang Nursyahzani (2K4)

Hidup itu sukar
Bukan bererti kita harus berhenti

Hidup itu pedih
Bukan bererti kita harus Bersedih

Dan Hidup itu terluka
Bukan bererti kita harus biarkan ia terus terluka.

Menjadi seorang itu bukanlah perkara rumit
Yang rumit adalah ketika anda menjadi Seseorang yang

merumitkan diri sendiri
Kerana seseorang hanya menggunakkan otak dan

bukannya mengikut kata hati
Sesetengah orang hanya memikirkan tentang

keseronokan ketika kecil
Dan membuat seseorang itu lupa akan perkara yang

Harus dialaminya nanti.
Aku Lebih memilih malam

Meski gelap
Aku lebih memilih luka

Meski sakit
Dan aku lebih memilih diri sendiri

Meski banyak kekurangan.

Menuli puisi tentang hidup
Agar dibaca dan difahami
Bergembiralah wahai hati

Jangan bersedih lagi.

Depresi?

Nur Mashita Rabiyah Syamsir (3K1)

Pernahkah anda tiba-tiba merasa sedih, kecewa, dan merasa hanya ingin
bersendiri? Hati-hati. Mungkin… yang anda lalui saat itu adalah tanda-tanda depresi.
Apa itu depresi? Menurut alodokter.com, depresi adalah gangguan suasana hati,
yang ditandai dengan perasaan sedih yang mendalam dan rasa tidak peduli dengan
suasana sekeliling.

Seseorang yang depresi itu seringkali melihatkan dirinya yang tidak berdaya
lalu disertai dengan perasaan sedih yang berlanjutan. Selain itu, ia juga bersangkut-
paut dengan rasa hilangnya tenaga sehingga malas untuk melakukan sesuatu
perkara.
Sebenarnya… tiada sebab yang spesifik untuk seseorang yang mengalami depresi. Ia
boleh menyerang semua orang bila-bila saja. Setiap orang dapat mengalami depresi
kerana pelbagai masalah. Entah itu terkena depresi kerana keluarga menuntut
anaknya untuk menjadi sempurna, bahkan merasa gagal menjadi seseorang teman.
Selain itu, terdapat tiga model etiologi depresi iaitu etilogi depresi (the
biopsychosocial model), teori dari sistem (theory of system) dan model diatesis-stres
(the diatheses-stress model).

1. Bagaimana kita boleh tahu seseorang itu mengalami depresi atau kemurungan?
- Merasa sedih, murung selalu dan suasana hati yang kosong.
- Kehilangan energi, perasaan letih, lemah dan selalu lesu.
- Merasa bersalah dan tidak berguna.
- Perubahan pola tidur.
- Selalu lelah walau tidak melakukan apa-apa pekerjaan.
- Gelisah, insomnia, atau tidur berlebihan.

2. Bagaimana menghadapi mereka yang mengalami kemurungan?
Insan-insan yang mengalami depresi atau kemurungan ini hanya memerlukan
dukungan dari lingkungan hidup atau sekitarnya, misalnya keluarga atau teman
terdekat. Tapi, keluargalah sebenarnya yang menjadi punca utama seseorang
mengalami depresi dan juga obat utamanya. Terkadang, ibu bapa terlalu
menginginkan anaknya mendapatkan nilai yang sempurna mahu dalam akademik
atau bukan akademik. Mereka terlalu memikirkan perkara tersebut hingga mental
anak dilupakan.

30

Seharusnya, ketika seseorang itu mengalami kemurungan, ibu bapa, teman-teman
harus memberikan semangat seperti berkata, “semangat! Kamu boleh lalui semua
ini. Tuhan tidak membebankan hamba yang dicipta oleh-Nya tanpa sebab. Usah
risau, aku yakin kamu boleh. Kerana aku selalu ada disamping kamu.” Atau
menanyakan seperti… “kamu kenapa? Ada masalah ya? Sini cerita sama aku, telinga
dan bahuku selalu ada untuk kamu.” Mungkin ini terlihat sederhana, tetapi cukup
memberi makna. Perkara yang sering kita merasa biasa, itu terlihat cukup istimewa
dimata mereka. Mengapa? Kerana mereka yakin bahwa disaat mereka jatuh, masih
ada insan yang menghulurkan tangan, meringankan beban di bahu mereka.



3. Cara mencegah depresi.
Jika diberikan sakit, tentu ada juga penawarnya. Begitu juga dengan depresi. Kita
boleh mencegahnya. Dengan cara apa?
- Istirahat yang cukup. Seperti umumnya, tidur selama 6-8 jam sehari dapat
menurunkan tingkat kemurungan.
- Jaga pola makan seimbang agar stamina tubuh terjaga.
- Berfikir rasional akan mencegah gejala depresi dan mengamalkan sikap hidup yang
positif.
- Memiliki me-time atau waktu untuk diri sendiri, di antara kesibukan yang padat.
- Melakukan senaman untuk mencegah depresi.
- Memiliki seseorang yang boleh dijadikan tempat meluah, saling berbagi dan saling
membantu entah itu datangnya dari ahli keluarga atau teman.

Konklusinya, berikanlah sokongan melalui amalan kerohanian daripada menghina
dan dapatkan rawatan psikoterapi daripada professional. Jangan menghukum
mereka. depresi atau kemurungan ini tidak ada kaitan langsung dengan kurangnya
iman dalam diri seseorang. Manusia itu bersifat lemah. Buktinya? Surah An-Nisa’
ayat 28 yang bermaksud, “dan manusia diciptakan (bersifat) lemah.” Pesakit yang kuat
agamanya juga tidak terkecuali kerana penyakit mental tidak mengenal sesiapa.
Seterusnya, belajarlah memahami diri, belajar mencintai diri serta belajarlah
memahami orang lain juga. Jika memang sakit depresi tidak membaik di diri anda,
segeralah berkonsultasi dengan psiakiater.

Teruntuk kalian yang mengalami penyakit ini, yakin bahawa kamu boleh lalui
semua ujian yang ada di dunia fana ini. Semangat!

KESAN PANDEMIK COVID – 19
KEPADA SESI PERSEKOLAHAN

NURUL AISYAH QAIRISYAH BINTI MUKRI (1K5)

Penutupan sekolah pada 18 Mac 2020 bertujuan untuk
memberhentikan penularan Covid-19 yang semakin berleluasa.
Pelaksanaan program pembelajaran dalam talian (PDPR) atau
secara tepatnya iaitu belajar daripada rumah melaui internet.

Akan tetapi,sebilangan pelajar mempunyai masalah dalam
program pembelajaran ini seperti masalah kadar internet yang
kurang,susah memahami pelajaran yang disampaikan
guru,berkongsi telefon dengan keluarga dan ada juga pelajar
yang sengaja atau malas mengikuti program pembelajaran atas
talian ini.

Selain itu ,pelajar banyak kehilangan masa untuk menimba
ilmu pengetahuan dan mereka lebih meluangkan masa dengan
benda yang tidak berfaedah. Seperti permainan video,menonton
televisyen ,bermain media social dan sebagainya.

Seterusnya,program pembelajaran atas talian ini juga
memberi kesan negatif kepada pelajar contohnya pelajar
mempunyai masalah tekanan keatas program ini kerana tidak
memahami pelajaran yang disampaikan oleh guru,kerja sekolah
bertimbun kerana ditangguh dan pelajar semakin malas.

Namun demikian,program pembelajaran atas talian ini
membawa kesan yang baik kepada pelajar . Iaitu pelajar dapat
mengatur jadual masa dengan lebih baik, pelajar dapat
menyiapkan atau menyediakan persiapan lebih awal untuk
menghadapi kelas online dan pelajar juga mudah mendapatkan
bahan rujukan dengan melalui internet.

Kesimpulannya, kesan pandemik Covid-19 kepada sesi
persekolahan ialah pelajar dapat lebih berdikari dan berusaha
untuk memahami subjek-subjek pelajaran serta mengajar diri
untuk lebih banyak bersabar.

MENGIMBAU SEJARAH SUMBANGAN TOKOH
PERDANA MENTERI MALAYSIA PERTAMA
TUNKU ABDUL RAHMAN PUTRA AL-HAJ

PENGIRAN DIYANAH SOFEA BINTI NORDIN (5 STEM)

Berfikir sejenak, mengimbau masa lampau, alangkah peritnya menahan kepiluan kehidupan negara
tatkala dibelenggu cengkaman penjajah. Namun begitu, ikhtiar mendepani cabaran dan pelbagai liku-liku
kehidupan demi ke arah negara gemilang dan terbilang di persada dunia sentiasa kekal utuh meskipun
rintangan yang bertali arus menjadi tembok penghalang beberapa seketika. Fenomena ini persis kata
cendekiawan, berjalan sampai ke batas, berlayar sampai ke pulau.Tanpa satu kombinasi usaha yang padu
antara masyarakat dan pemimpin, sudah tentu negara sukar membangun. Meladeni arus
pascamodenisme yang semakin mencabar dari semasa ke semasa, nusa yang kita cintai ini semakin utuh
dan terkenal di puncak jagat hasil daripada kerjasama tokoh-tokoh seperti Almarhum Tunku Abdul
Rahman Putra Al-Haj, Perdana Menteri Malaysia yang pertama. Sumbangan beliau yang tidak terhingga,
lamanya memerah keringat menjadi pedoman ke arah penampilan wajah baru negara yang disulami
tekad. Bermulalah detik kejayaan dan kecemerlangan negara yang dilakar satu demi satu menjadi ingatan
setiap insan yang bergelar rakyat Malaysia. Andai direnungkan sejenak alkisah sejarah terdahulu,
pengorbanan dan jasa pimpinan Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al Haj, seorang Tokoh Perdana Menteri
Malaysia yang tersohor telah banyak memberi sumbangan khususnya dalam bidang 1 politik dan
pentadbiran. Sebelum dicanangkan dan dipaparkan kecemerlangan yang digapai oleh beliau, pengenalan
secara ringkas tentang biodata tokoh Tunku Abdul Rahman menjadi mukadimah perbincangan. Nama
Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al Haj bukanlah nama yang asing bagi rakyat Malaysia, lebih-lebih lagi dalam
kronologi sejarah politik tanah air. Beliau digelar sebagai Bapa Kemerdekaan dan merupakan Perdana
Menteri Malaysia Pertama. Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj diputerakan pada 8 Februari 1903 di Alor
Star, Kedah. Beliau merupakan putera ke-20 kepada Sultan Abdul Hamid Halimshah. Pada usia enam
tahun, beliau belajar di salah sebuah sekolah Melayu di Alor Setar dan kemudian bersekolah di
Government English School. Semasa usia beliau tujuh belas tahun, beliau dihantar oleh keluarganya ke
seberang laut untuk menuntut pelajaran di St. Catherine’s College, Universiti Cambridge, England. Pada
tahun 1925, beliau telah lulus mendapat Ijazah Sarjana Muda dalam Undang-undang dan Sejarah dari
Universiti Cambridge. Betapa lamanya pimpinan Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al Haj sebagai Perdana
Menteri Malaysia bermula dari zaman era pascakemerdekaan iaitu 31 Ogos 1957 sehinggalah 22
September 1970.

Salah satu tonggak kerjaya politik Tunku Abdul Rahman adalah pelantikannya sebagai Pengerusi
Pertubuhan Kebangsaan Melayu Bersatu (UMNO), menggantikan Dato ‘Onn Jaafar pada tahun 1951. Dia
menyatukan pelbagai komuniti Tanah Melayu yang berbagai bangsa dan menerajui pakatan antara
UMNO, Persatuan Cina Malaya ( MCA) dan Malayan Indian Congress (MIC). Melalui kerjasama dan
perpaduan, Parti Perikatan memenangi pilihan raya pada tahun 1955 dan Tunku Abdul Rahman menjadi
Ketua Menteri Persekutuan Tanah Melayu yang pertama.

33

Bukti pengorbanan dan sumbangan Tunku Abdul Rahman dalam bidang politik dan pentadbiran
dirumuskan oleh Dato’ Seri Dr. Mahathir Bin Mohamad ketika beliau memberi ucapan takziah di atas kembalinya ke
rahmatullah Al marhum Yang Teramat Mulia Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra al- Haj , bekas Perdana Menteri Malaysia
pada 10 Disember 1990 di Dewan Rakyat, dengan menyediakan beberapa isi ucapan beliau mengenai tindakan dan
perwatakan murni yang dimiliki oleh Tunku Abdul Rahman. Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra al-Haj bukan sahaja menjadi
pemimpin orang Melayu dalam mempelopori kemerdekaan negara ini tetapi terus menjadi seorang negarawan
ulung yang disegani dan dicintai oleh semua kaum. Formula politik Perikatan yang dipelopori oleh Almarhum Tunku
Abdul Rahman bagi menyatukan rakyat Malaysia merupakan formula yang terbukti keberhasilannya. Setelah
mencapai kemerdekaan dan membentuk Malaysia, Tunku Abdul Rahman berperanan penting sebagai pemimpin
dan pemandu pembangunan negara kita ke arah kemajuan dan kemakmuran. Beliau bersama-sama dengan Tun
Abdul Razak Hussein mencipta rancangan pembangunan yang memberi penekanan kepada pembangunan luar
bandar. Tunku Abdul Rahman turut mengasaskan budaya politik yang berlandaskan kompromi dan muafakat di
antara golongan-golongan yang berlainan latar belakang dan kepentingan. Tunku Abdul Rahman juga merupakan
seorang penentang fahaman dan gerakan komunis.Sudah pasti rakyat Malaysia tidak membutuhkan pertolongan
mahupun penguasaan komunis yang hanya meruntuhkan kegemilangan negara. Apabila Tunku Abdul Rahman
menandatangani perisytiharan berakhirnya darurat, Tunku Abdul Rahman telah menyatakan betapa bangganya
Tunku Abdul Rahman dengan perpaduan dan taat setia rakyat Malaysia.Tunku Abdul Rahman menyatakan rakyat
Malaysia telah memperlihatkan kepada dunia bahawa mereka mempunyai cara hidup yang jauh lebih baik dan
lebih makmur daripada yang dijanjikan oleh pihak komunis. Tunku Abdul Rahman juga telah memainkan peranan
penting dalam mengembangkan syiar Islam di negara kita dan di peringkat antarabangsa. Almarhum Tunku Abdul
Rahman mengasaskan Majlis Tilawah Al-Quran Kebangsaan dan Antarabangsa yang menjadi satu acara yang
menarik dalam dunia Islam hingga ke zaman muasir kini. Sebagai pemimpin Pertubuhan Kebajikan Islam Malaysia
(PERKIM), Tunku Abdul Rahman telah membantu mengembangkan syiar Islam di rantau ini dan berusaha
memelihara kebajikan mereka yang memeluk agama Islam. Kata Dato’ Seri Dr. Mahathir lagi bahawa Tunku Abdul
Rahman tidak lagi bersama kita. Namun sumbangan Almarhum Tunku Abdul Rahman tidak dapat dihilangkan
daripada kenangan kita. Tiada sesiapa pun dapat menafikan sumbangan Almarhum Tunku Abdul Rahman kepada
negara yang amat dicintai oleh Almarhum Tunku Abdul Rahman. Nama dan sumbangan beliau akan tetap tertulis
dengan tinta emas dalam sejarah negara. Tunku Abdul Rahman telah mengetuai ahli-ahli kerajaan selama 13 tahun
lamanya. Setiap generasi perlu mengenang dan menghargai jasa beliau selama beliau mengisi masa kehidupannya
memikirkan uslub efektif dalam mewujudkan kemakmuran negara dan keharmonian rakyat.

Negara yang mempunyai rakyat berbilang bangsa, keturunan dan agama berjaya melakarkan kejayaan
apabila keharmonian dapat diperkukuhkan sehinggalah ke hari ini tanpa adanya perkauman. Agama Islam sebagai
agama rasmi Negara dan bahasa Melayu sebagai bahasa Kebangsaan membuktikan jasa dan sumbangan para
pemimpin dalam mempertahankan kedaulatan negara. Marcapada, kita telah menghirup udara hasil kemerdekaan.
Muafakat merupakan inti kepada perpaduan dan cerucuk utama pembangunan negara.

Hancur badan dikandung tanah, budi baik dikenang juga. Harimau mati meninggalkan belang, manusia mati
meninggalkan nama. Begitulah yang diumpamakan dengan perwatakan dan sifat-sifat luhur yang dimiliki oleh
Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra al-Haj. Setiap individu harus cakna dan tidak sesekali memandang enteng akan perkara
yang mampu menggugat kedaulatan dan keamanan negara yang telah dibina oleh Tunku Abdul Rahman.. Nilai-nilai
murni serta mahmudah yang terpapar wujudnya dalam sanubari yang dipegang erat oleh Tunku Abdul Rahman
wajar dicontohi. Kejayaan yang ditempa hasil daripada sifat pemimpin yang sanggup mengharungi pelbagai
pancaroba dan dugaan menjadi iktibar kepada setiap individu bahawa pentingnya komitmen yang padu dan efisien.
Konklusinya, setiap individu perlulah mengambil langkah sederap dengan 1920 memanifestasikan fikiran agar
kejayaan negara terus dilakar di jagatraya. Setiap rakyat Malaysia haruslah bersyukur atas kegemilangan yang
dikecapi. Tanpa pengorbanan dan perjuangan beliau, tentu kemerdekaan tidak mungkin dapat dicapai pada hari
ini. Ucapan Tunku Abdul Rahman ketika dalam Majlis Belia Malaya, 1960, beliau mengatakan, ”Semua kehidupan
adalah pengalaman dan semua orang melakukan kesilapan. Bercakap mengenai diri sendiri, saya melakukan lebih
banyak kesilapan sebagai remaja berbanding kebanyakan orang lain yang sebaya, tetapi hari ini ia telah terbukti
menjadi pengalaman tidak ternilai untuk kerjaya saya sebagai pemimpin negara saya”. (YTM Almarhum Tunku Abdul
Rahman, dalam Majlis Belia Malaya, 1960)

If I Have a
Child One Day

If I have a child one day,
I will tell them that in life there are times when they felt like giving up,

Felt like they don’t want to grow up and that is okay.



If I have a child one day,
I will them that life is unpredictable,

One day it's flowers and sunshine,
The next will be storms and thunderclouds at nine.



If I have a child one day,
I will tell them that there will come a time when they will face betrayal of
their dearest friends and those pain will never truly ends.
Fret not my love as it will gives you strength,
Strength to stand again when you fall,
Strength to make them end with a great fall.



If I have a child one day,
I will tell them that one fall doesn't end it all,
Therefor learn from every fall.
I believe you are a strong person my butterfly,
So don’t ever be afraid to fly even if the wind is not so kind.

Remember flower,
No one completely fail from each fall unless they decided to give up their all.

Voices of the Night

IVAN HOWELL SAIDEH (5K1)

Voices of the night,
Brinmmed with fright.
Never have I seen one in the dark with this sight,
Or eve one in the daylight.
With all my might,
I forget about the weight,
I then read a book aloud 'till twilight,
Which lead Sara and I to delight.
Before, our chest was tight,
Now we are alright.
This is a story of mine,
A story titled Voices of the Night.

EU·PHO·RI·A

/YO͞ OˈFÔRĒƏ/

Noun

a feeling or state of intense excitement and happiness.

She felt the vibe and she took a step,
Followed by another step,

Preoccupied by the melody,
Taking another step,
As the beat goes on.


‘Dance’ they said,
“It’ll be fun” they said,

Can they assure it, nevertheless?
She had never expected it,

She had never thought about it,
So, she just went on with it


Now she’s breathing,
Breathing the fresh air,

Tempo rhythms are keeping her alive,
She can feel it,

She can feel the emotion,
The emotion she had been seeking,

Euphoria.

Rise When You Fall

Farish Iskandar Bin Muzzaffar (4K1)

Life may be tough,
Fate may be rough,
But that's not enough
To make me drown in the despair slough



They say I'm weak,
because I always cry,
even if it takes a week,

I will always rise



Like the radiant sun,
Which always shine,
Even if its a gloomy, rainy day,
In the end, it does shine



Like the graceful ocean,
Whose tides and waves,

Often fall,
But without fail, they rise



Even if I fell a thousand fall,
I will climb a million climb,

Until I stand tall
For a life time



No matter how hard I fall,
I will rise.

WHAT MAKES A
PERSON BEAUTIFUL?

NURHASFALIA (2K4)



What makes a person beautiful is in terms of the interior as
well as the nature. The outward view of a person is not
important. The attitude of being confident in oneself can also
make a person beautiful. For example, while performing a
task, one needs to be confident to complete it. With
confidence, one can easily concentrate on the task. Instead of
wasting time and energy worrying too much about being not
good enough, one can always focus their energy on their
goals and what they can achieve.
The nature of respect and generosity can also make a person
beautiful. One can avoid misunderstanding and at the same
time, strengthen their friendship. On the other hand,
generosity is a trait that is likeable.

Rise When You Fall
Nurnisha Mardhiyah (2K8)

They may make your life story worse,
Whether it's in terms of lies or fabrication,
They might be able to drop you but not forever.
They may think your life depends on the people around you?
They think you will continue to be stuck in a fall forever?
Of course not, you need to rise from the fall without any help and

support.



Get up and start a new life,
Wake up from feelings of sadness, frustration and anger, Change your life

with the color of happiness and eternity not the color of sadness.



Start your new life with smile,
Stand up and dance like a no-brainer,
Walk while saying "keep walking without falling back",
Do the things you love with a feeling of enthusiasm.



Always smile even when there is a problem,
Keep walking without hearing the words of hatred,
Go on living without interfering in the affairs of others,
Just be yourself, love yourself and enjoy your life.

THE REAL GIFT
IS LIFE ITSELF

Dayang Nursyahzani Walin (2K4)

Today is the last day my dear aunt is in Malaysia, she will
return abroad to continue her studies for three years. We
spent time together and suddenly, my aunt said “What if, I
hide a gift and a letter so you‘re no longer sad and can read
the letter tomorrow?”. I replied “Okay” with a feeling of
happiness mixed with sadness. How many hours passed, my
aunt had hid the gift and the letter in a box and hid the key
somewhere for me to look for the day after. The next day, I
said goodbye and prayed that my aunt would get there
safely. Once my aunt got into the taxi, I ran inside and started
looking for the key. I searched for two hours and finally I
found the key. I opened the letter that she wrote :

Dear Dayang,

Experiencing loss is a part of life, but good things come
too. Expect the unexpected and future embarrassments. Life is
full of answers to questions we never understand, words that
come out of someone‘s mouth whether good or not. We are
only able to listen and understand it with an open heart
without resentment, even if the words hurt. As we grow old,
we realize life always gives us all these gifts. But what do we
hope for? I want to tell you this in person Dayang, but when
you read this, it means I have go abroad for three years. But
you mustn’t be scared and you mustn’t be sad. I am always
telling you, experiencing lost is a part of life but it doesn’t
define it. Because what really matters is whether you like or
not. Your strength is in your ability to accept that life doesn't
always give the gift we are hoping for, The Real Gift is Life
Itself.
