Positive and Negative Effects of Social Media in Malaysia

Social networking sites (SNS) are defined as web-based services that allow individuals to construct a public or semi-public profile within a limited system, articulate a list of other users with whom they
share a connection, and view and traverse their list of connections and those made by others within the system.

This article will focus on Facebook as the example of social networking site. Today, Facebook is the largest social network in the world. It started as a website limited to Harvard students only, but quickly expanded to additional colleges in the Boston area, other Ivy League schools, then eventually
just about every University in North America, up till now where 1 out of every 7 people on earth is on Facebook. It was founded by Mark Zuckerberg and some of fellow college roommates at Harvard University, including Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz, Andrew McCollum and Chris Hughes (Daniel Zeevi, 2013).

Positive:
1. Social networks help the businesses in a variety of ways. Traditional marketing mediums such as the radio, TV commercials and print ads are completely obsolete now and demand for thousands of dollars. However, with social media the businesses can connect with their targeted customers for free, the only cost is energy and time. Through Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or any other social site you can lower your marketing cost to a significant level.

2. The increasing popularity of social sites like Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn, social networks has gained attention as the most viable communication choice for the bloggers, article writers and content creators.

3. These social networking sites have opened the opportunity for all the writers and bloggers to connect with their tech savvy clients to share your expertise and articles. Your audience will further share your articles, blog or expertise in their social circle which further enhance your networks of the followers.

4. Social networks have removed all the communication and interaction barriers, and now one can communicate his/her perception and thoughts over a variety of topics. Students and experts are able to share and communicate with like-minded people and can ask for the input and opinion on a particular topic.

5. Another positive impact of social networking sites is to unite people on a huge platform for the achievement of some specific objective. This is very important to bring the positive change in society.

Negative:
1. One of the negative effect of social media or network is it leads to addiction. Spending countless hours on the social sites can divert the focus and attention from a particular task. It lowers the motivational level of the people, especially of the teenagers and students. They mainly rely on technology and the internet instead of learning the practical knowledge and expertise of the everyday life.

2. Kids can be greatly affected by these social networking sites if they are allowed to use them. The reason is that sometimes people share photos on social media that contains violence and sex, which can damage the behavior of kids and teenagers. It put the negative impact on overall society as these kids and teenagers involve themselves in crime related activities.

3. Another downside of the social media is that the user shares too much information which may pose threats to them. Even with the tight security settings your personal information may leak on the social sites. Downloading your videos or pictures and copying your status is an easy task and can be done within few clicks.

4. Poor academic achievement



Excessive use of social media without connecting with others is more likely to make you miserable, a study showed, according to China's Xinhua news agency.

The study, published recently in the journal Cyberpsychology, Behavior and Social Networking, was conducted by researchers at the University of Copenhagen on over 1,000 participants, mostly women.

The results indicated that regular use of social networking like Facebook can "negatively affect your emotional well-being and satisfaction with life."

Spending too long looking at other people's social media posts can create "unrealistic social comparisons", which induce a deterioration of mood and a sense of envy, it suggested.

Instead of lurking on social media, researchers encourage people to actively engage in conversation and connect with other people, which seems to be a much more positive experience.

The study suggested taking a short break from social media, a week for instance, which could help improve mental well-being.

Analisa drama malaysia

Pada pemerhatian saya, banyak drama masa kini yang menggunakan plot cerita percintaan antara majikan dan pekerja.

1) Tundukkan playboy itu
- percintaan antara harraz naufal dan nurin aressa. Nurin adalah arkitek di Haraz holding.

2) Akadku yang ku terakhir
-percintaan antara irham dan rania sebagai PA yang juga merupakan doktor psikologi dia

3) Hati perempuan
-percintaan antara tengku zaril dan Yuhanis. Yuhanis adalah pekerja yg diarahkn utk bekerja di bawah tengku zaril

Dan tidak mustahil dalam kehidupan seharian juga boleh terjadi perkara ini.

Semoga semua jumpa jodoh yang baik. Amin

New Language! German Language

Assalamualaikum wbt..

A quite long brake without any post. This happen due to my busy schedule for last two months. Currently waiting for interview result for elite pose in government. I hope the best will be chosen as the "decision maker" and hopefully I will be one of them. In shaa Allah.

Back to my title today, i would like to share with all of you regarding my new hobby. I love to study new language which is German Language.

Actually, i have been influenced by PTD Whatsapp group because they keep talking in German Language. Therefore, I though I also want to know more about what they are talked and I take the initiatives to study new language through Duolingo web.

Additionally, I also choose German as my new language because I already study Madarin during my degree for foreign language subject. On the other hand, I also already take Arabic subject for my PMR and SPM examinations. Luckily, my result for Arabic during PMR exam was 'A'.

Furthermore, I can add this language into my curriculum vitae (cv). Thus, now in my resume i will have five languages which are Bahasa Melayu, English, Arabic, Mandarin and German. Alhamdulillah. I will keep practicing because as we know the famous idiom said that "Practice makes Perfect"

Here, my result obtained from the Duolingo.

My idol : YB Dato' Seri Idris Jusoh, Minister of Higher Education

A leader is a person who empower others (Bill Gates). A leader also can be defined as a person that holds a dominant in his/her field and able to influence others. We often heard the statement "leaders are born". But, in my opinion, great leaders were not born, they were developed through never ending process of self-study, education, training and experience (Jago, 1982). Therefore, all of us have our own idol to be emulated because a good leader is a good follower. 

The person who i admire and respect the most is our current Minister of Higher Education, YBhg. Dato' Seri Idris Jusoh. Briefly, he was born on Nov 19th 1955 in Terengganu. During secondary school, he attended elite school, Sekolah Tuanku Abdul Rahman (STAR) and he was the one of the best students in STAR during his time. He was sent to Australia for matriculation. He came back to Malaysia before completing his studies in Australia because his father died and he attended Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) and became overall best student there and gold medal award recipient of best student. 

He is a Malaysian Politician and he was the former of Menteri Besar (MB) of Terengganu and also the chairman of MARA. Currently, he is the Minister of Higher Education starting appointed on July 2015. 

Honestly, why i choose him as my idol is because he is very kind-heart person, especially to all the Kelantanese residents. He had determination to be great, very informative and humble person. All the kelantanese residents comfortable calling him as "Yeh" as his nickname. He had very generous heart and always help residents who had low income and had difficulties to continue study. 

To sum up, YBhg Dato' Seri Idris Jusoh is one of the great leaders in this country. Through diligence and experienced, they improved upon their opinions and feedback and constantly looking for the best step to accomplish goals for a group. Hence, all of us have the great potential to become leaders such as in communities, at work, organizations and etc. To be a good leader, we must possess an effective leadership such as expanding self awareness, practicing empathy, maintaining proper boundaries, criticizing artfully by praise them first before criticize, flexible to different people styles and following golden rule principles. 

Golden Rule Principles :

1. Treat people with respect

2. Show fairness

3. Display honestly in both words and deeds

4. Embrace the diversity

In a nutshell, to be a good leader, we must possess certain qualities. My experienced as student representative council at Johore Matriculation College and Vice President of Tun Dr Ismail residential college committees give me a lot of useful experienced to become a good leader in the future. Currently, waiting for Administration and Diplomatic officer (ADO) PAC result and hopefully i will excel and become an ADO in the future. In shaa Allah.
