PENANG- 27 May 2010, The legendary or the old people should be respected with wisdom as they had more experience than the youngsters. As the time goes by, the old people had been forgotten for the efforts that they had did towards the society.

The man below (pic) his name is Leow Seow Kwok 60, is my neighbor since 30 years back. He is a man with no hard feelings towards others. From the outlook of his appearance, he looks skinny but full with energetic performance. From the conversation with him, he always mentioned that youngsters nowadays lack of the strong mentality compare to previous times.

In previous times, the youngster needs to work hard for their belonging, while nowadays the youngsters are now pampered by their parents. As a result, the youngsters nowadays do not have the strong mentality and physically to fight for their future. The main reason is because they tends to think that their parents is their ‘mountain’ behind them.

Subsequently, the legendary or the old folks deserve their thumbs up from the society as they had done enough for our youngsters without complaining. The youngster should at least plays a major role to continue the efforts that being developed by the legendary.

PENANG – The picture from below is taken on Saturday, 22 May 2010 at Chew Jetty, Penang. When step into the Chew Jetty, Penang the scenarios is totally different compare to the urban folks. Here at Chew Jetty, you will notice the real dimensions of the folks at there. Some of them had been in this area for such a long time since their ancestors.

When step inside Chew Jetty for our Citizen Journalist training assignment, I saw this old lady sitting in front of her house that oppose the sea. The first impression that  I had towards this old lady is actually the immorality of his son and daughter to leave her alone.

After a meanwhile, I sat down and have a conversation with this old lady. This old lady really give lots of advice to us especially our youngsters to appreciate the things that we had right now. Its better to appreciate now rather than appreciate it when it is loss. The most usefull advice is the old lady stated that treat your parent nicely before it is too late.

So, this is the the other part of the scenarios that had not really been undermine by the city folks. Most of the city folks just know the way to earn money without undermine the current situations that facing our society now. It is everyones responsibility to preserve the advice that given by this old lady to stabilise our society .

Anyway it feels nice to be part with the Citizen Journalist, Malaysiakini. I would like to thank all those people for helping me to reach this stage. Hopefully, this is my 1st major step to involve in the field of journalism. In this training, I had been expose to lots of aspects such as news writing, techniques of shooting videos and editing videos. This will really going to enhance my knowledge on it and it will be useful for my assignments in the short while.
