Social Problems among Malay teenagers

We found this very interesting study we guest bye Abdul Lateef Abdullah back then during the 90's titled 'Addressing Youth Social Ills in Malaysia Through Alternative Education:A Case Study of the Taqwa International Gayong Academy(TIGA)' . It discusses social problems among youths in Malaysia,causes, and alternative way to solve it and others. One research that was made that really took our interest is the involvement of Malay youth in social problems.Malaysian Ex Prime Minister Tun Datok Seri Mahathir Mohammad(now) himself revealed that Malay constitute the majority of those involved(PKK-Muslimedia,1997). Another thing is research done by them in Klang Valley area on Malay and Chinese students revealed that 98% of the chinese students returned home after school compared to 50% of those malays.

Social Problems among teenagers.Rural and city areas. Are there any differences??

I found this article from The Star on May 2,2010.
This is a research made by National Population and Family Development Board(LPPKN) concerning the activities among teenagers that have been disapproved by parents.
'KUALA LUMPUR: They have become a common sight in the wee hours of the morning – youngsters hanging out with friends in various spots in the city.' -by Hariati Azizan and Wong Pek Mei.

It seems that staying out late at night is the highest activities that has been disapproved by parents yet this is the most thing that teenagers do.In my opinion the article aims at teenagers in city areas because it was reported from Kuala Lumpur. The research made shows that (13.5%) teenagers love to stay out late at night,taking drugs (1.3%), and illegal racing(2.9%).



LPPKN Director-General Datuk Aminah Abdul Rahman said the changes in the lifestyle of teenagers today is because of the increase in eateries,cybercafes,late night activities like midnight movie,night futsal matches,concerts, and football games.

Remaja tinggalkan rumah selepas ditegur pakai jean

KUANTAN 3 Julai – Hanya kerana dimarahi bapanya disebabkan memakai seluar jean ke sekolah, seorang remaja perempuan berusia 15 tahun sanggup melarikan diri dari rumah.

Che Nanorgiha Che Naza (gambar), pelajar tahun tiga dari Sekolah Menengah Bukit Rangin dekat sini, berbuat demikian sejak lebih seminggu lalu.

Menurut bapanya, Che Naza Che Mud, 51, kejadian bermula apabila anaknya itu dilihat oleh ibunya tidak memakai pakaian seragam ke sekolah, pada hari kejadian.

Katanya, Nanorguha sebaliknya hanya memakai baju kokurikulum berwarna hitam.

“Selang beberapa jam, Nanorguha yang lebih mesra dipanggil ‘kakak’ menghubungi isteri saya dan meminta agar ibunya itu menghantarnya seluar… Ia kerana pihak sekolah menahannya kerana memakai seluar jean.

“saya lalu menghantar seluar seperti diminta Nanorgiha ke sekolah dan kemudian telah menegurnya . Secara tidak sengaja saya telah bertindak kasar ke atasya.

“Sebaik sahaja tamat sesi persekolahan, dia pulang ke rumah tetapi terus keluar semula dengan beg pakaiannya,” katanya ketika datang ke pejabat Utusan Malaysia di sini semalam.

Tambahnya, dia dan isterinya sering menegur Nanorgiha kerana jarang membantu ibunya membuat kerja rumah selain malas mengulang kaji pelajaran.

Katanya, anaknya itu juga sering bercakap dan berbalas mesej menerusi khidmat pesanan ringkas (SMS) dengan seseorang di telefon bimbitnya.

Beliau berkata, dia dan isteri membuat laporan mengenai kehilangan Nanorgiha di Ibu Pejabat Polis (IPD) Daerah Kuantan di sini, sehari selepas kejadian.

“Saya merayu kepada Nanorgiha supaya pulang ke pangkuan keluarga. Saya minta maaf jika telah berkasar dengannya dan segala kesalahannya kami ampunkan,” jelasnya.

Lebih menyedihkan tambahnya, isterinyak kini sedang terlantar sakit di rumah dan hilang selera makan kerana terlalu memikirkan keselamatan anaknya itu.
