HULU SELANGOR: Eight teenagers aged from 12 to 14 were arrested for having sex with a 13-year-old girl in an abandoned house in a housing estate here in Kuala Kubu Bharu on Friday.

The Form One student who was playing truant had on Thursday being reported to have skipped school and did not return home, said district deputy police chief Deputy Superintendent Zulkifli Bedin.

"She had instead slept at a surau in the housing estate, 100m away from the abandoned house where the incident took place," Zulkifli said, adding that the police received a report from the girl's family member who was notified of the girl's whereabouts by a man who had seen her cleaning her clothes at the surau that Friday morning, just before she went off with the boys.

It was learnt that the girl's wild ways may have been caused by the lack of attention at home, as her Indonesian mother who was divorced with her local husband had gone back home, and both of them had since remarried.

Zulkifli said the girl was later taken for check-ups at the Selayang Hospital.

The case is investigated under Section 376 for having sexual intercourse with an underage girl.

In today's world, this is a dangerous social problem.It is easy to put blame an someone but it is difficult to correct and help. Teenagers need role model, guidance and love.They can easily lost as there are emptiness in their soul.In this case the parents failed to guide the girl but where are her relatives?Teenagers need help.The community must play their role to guide them to the correct path.

Ladies & Gentlemen,

In about 200-250 words, tell us why you are here at UTHM. How do you feel being here? What or who made you come here? What do you expect to gain at the end of this program? What are your immediate plans upon graduation (provided and pray that you make it through)?

Talib Othman.DB110313.Section 3.

Here I am at UTHM once again.2013 is the second year for me attending lectures as a student.It was more than 25 years after my dream to enter university scattered.After my STPM, I lost my hope to further my study.I work as a clerk for a few years until I was accepted as a traince teacher at Maktab Perguruan Sri Pinang,Pulau Pinang some 20 five years ago.I have asked for further studies twice but myself had to reject it due to financial difficulties at that time.Since than,I never think of any chance to further my study.

It was about two years ago when one afternoon I received a call from UTHM, I was advised to register soon as my name was listed as a new student for a programme under the PPG.At first I really refused to do so and I objected the offer.It is a ridiculous idea for a 45 years old teacher like me to further my study and my goodness,Mathematics course.

So,here I am in a world of student's life at UTHM.I felt a little bit difficult.As a teacher i am sure this will help me to fulfill the goverment need to achieve 50 % graduated teacher towards 2020.I am a loyal goverment servent and will take this golden opportunity in achiving the target.

Being a university student at this age is really challenging. I have to balance my work,my family's life and as a student.I always remind myself that I will do my best as a model to my children.Never give up and give my best.At the end of this UTHM programme hopefully I will be a 50 years old graduate teacher and able to fulfill the M.O.E target upon reaching 2020.I always pray may ALLAH grant me with good health,clear mind and lots of time to enable me to make it through until graduation day comes.

I will do my best to study,complete the tasks and assignments given by hook or by crook, attend the lectures and sit for the exam.Nobody knows the furture and I always pray for the best in my life, career and my study.There is no full stop for learning and hope I can achieve the target.

Dear all,

Honestly, how would you prefer the teaching and learning of Maths and Science in our schools - in Bahasa Melayu or English and explain why you think so?

Oct 7, 2013:

Talib Othman.DB110313.Section 3.
I prefer to teach in Bahasa Melayu.Based on my experience teacing school in kampung area,pupils learn better in using Bahasa Melayu.As what Prof.Diraja Ungku Aziz said"Maths and Sc. must be taught in mother tongue".Lets the pupils master English Language during English lesson.MBMMBI is a good programme for this.

Pupils will be assessed based on their development in individual learning.Teachers use different kinds of ways in teaching and learning process.SBA's weakness is too many clerical work for teachers.
