MULA BERBICARA

Q1: Bagaimanakah kualiti mahasiswa IIUM pada
zaman dahulu, berbanding zaman sekarang?
Saya rasa dari segi kualiti dan atitud sangat
berbeza. Nak soalan tutorial, zaman kami nak datang kelas dan tak nak datang
kelas pun takpe. Internet takde, tapi fasiliti masih kira cukup. Zaman kita dah
adult. Sikap ni akan dibawa sampai ke universiti. Zaman sekarang, you need to
be independent. Dari segi pendidikan I think you guys goes stronger. Zaman
dulu, lecturer belum masuk lagi dah fed up, zaman sekarang student lagi cepat
pick up. You’re so lucky, you have more chances to learn more.
Q2: Apakah pendapat sir, terhadap
pelajar-pelajar yang bercadang kahwin awal?
Bab ni sangat menarik. Kahwin tu seronok.
Jangan salah faham, ia ada membawa tidak maksud setakat seronok sahaja. Seronok
tu bermaksud companionship. It’s an institution of marriage, which also overlap
with institution of parents and children. If you have PTPTN, you need to settle
four years of study first. Tak study, tak kerja, tiba-tiba seorang lelaki nak
ambil anak dara. Tapi perempuan masih dalam tanggungan mak ayah. So you take
the risk of marriage. Then if the girl get pregnant. Lelaki buat tak tahu je.
Cinta ni membawa mandi tak basah, makan tak
kenyang. Perasan kahwin ni disebabkan oleh cinta. At your age, the chemical is
very high, but after two to three months, the chemical goes down. Then you no
longer have that crazy feeling. Then it goes to a battle of raising a child.
I’ve experienced watching my daughter being pushed out of my wife’s womb. Its
so freaking me as a guy! And of course, my wife looks very tired looking,
landing herself on the bed. You can see the head of the child coming out! I
guess I still remember the moment. You if you a husband, you’d better be there.
You will remember for the rest of your life. Then that love feeling will
transform into affection, the feeling of caring, and responsibility towards
your wife.
So, if you want to marry right away because
of love, two months later down the road, I tell you that feelings will fade!
Better you hold first. You’d try to blackmail the entire world, you fikir tak
kahwin tak boleh study. Nak rompak bangunan. For those people, I’ve a very good
advice for you. You need to see your counselor, you need to see your
physchiatrist.
Q3: Is there any
girl in your time who got married?
Owh, there is only
one girl in my faculty who got married. She took the longest time to graduate.
After a while, she got morning sickness. My wife, alhamdulillah she’s very
lucky. Dia takde morning sickness langsung. Both children. Takde nak minta
bukan-bukan. Kalau gajah bunting dua tahun. Manusia biasa sembilan bulan, so
after the first child, she gets pregnant for the second time. So she needs to
take leave for a few times. So in my time, almost no one got married in my
faculty. So I knew one woman only who actually got married during my study.
Q4: Exam oriented student? Apakah pandangan sir?
Exam oriented ni sebenarnya, bukan
perkara baharu la. Konsep exam oriented ni sebenarnya, banyak pihak yang boleh
dipersalahkan. You start to blame your brother, your sister, your parents, you
start to blame your prime minister, just about anyone, everyone.
You study for exam. Your study on the syllabus and
every context, on how the questions is going to be asked. Ada banyak aspek
boleh dibincangkan. I’m not going to discuss about that. Number one, its really
hard to get pass year questions. How it could possibly you’ll be into exam
oriented, as you never answer pass year questions? Then, number two, we rarely
mention about exams, we asked you to gain that knowledge! You sendiri yang
degil, “kalau fail exam ni susah ni!” As you realise, exam oriented is not the
invention of the university, but we need exam for few reasons. I’ve discussed
before with a deputy from a kuliyyah, which I don’t want to mention. He really
don’t wish to conduct an examination, he prefer by just arranging classes,
discussion, and gain new knowledges. Then, how we will know whether you will
pass or fail the subject? Its hard to do check and balance. So if we conduct an
examination, it would be easier to check your understanding. That all the
reason. The mark is still there as long as you understand the topic. Lepas tu
menangis sebab exam.
Exam-oriented. So I think the only person who can
help you to get rid of this exam-oriented thing is you! You have to get rid of
it! You just have to stop and learn.
