Ferdaus brought this issue to ITTutor.net with a diagram . Picture speaks a thousand words
– every Malays (I believe) aware about this issue.
Please click here to discuss about it.
Personally , (like other concerned Malays!) I think Akademi Fantasia is a serious social epidemic . Should it be banned?
But would it be effective?
My idea is — we should start another epidemic for the youth, something that would overwrite/counter all this ..
Malcolm Gladwell in his book Tipping Point (How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference) wrote about the human behaviour that can be changed/triggered by the so called epidemics. Even small ideas can triggered something big , spread like virus at the national level. His studies supported by few examples such as the resurgence of this Hush Puppies shoes brought by a group of teenage boys at one part of the country but later spread at national level. OK, maybe it sounds too easy, but who knows by Allah will we can start one! But then how?
Hmm..
A student at MMU already started one . A simple idea no rocket science , what he did was to add Quran features into PSP . Now we have a portable Quran at the hand of youths that would be carried anywhere they go. Implementation? Up to creativity of parents -of course, parent had to play some roles on this. say a rule – for every game played they have to recite few verses of Quran. Cool isn’t it? Thats the whole idea, its cool to read Quran
Also stated in the news article he was said to be inspired by the same concept designed for Bible in PSP. And I thought- for my friends at ITTutor.net who were always comparing/arguing/flaming to what Linux/Microsoft did to compete with each other, why not we start looking at what other people did to spread their dakwah? Islamic Web 2.0 apps?
* Additional to that , being a parent I am also learning how to raise my children. According to a research in ScienceDaily , it is proven that "Kids with religious parents are better behaved and adjusted than other children" .Being a Muslim, this findings are not new to us.
My question to myself is today — "How religous am I?" Hmm…
