Menteri Pembangunan Sosial (Y.B. Tan Sri William Mawan anak Ikom): Terima kasih, Tuan Speaker. Before I go on further, I hope you don‘t mind me being personal. I have a slight problem with my dental gum, so in case my pronunciation is not very clear, or impair, I don‘t mind repeating what I say here outside the House. In case it‘s not clear.
Air selasih air tembikar,
Ikan seluang di atas para,
Terima kasih Datuk Speaker,
Memberi peluang saya berbicara.
Tuan Speaker, terlebih dahulu saya ingin mengucapkan setinggi-tinggi penghargaan dan terima kasih kepada Tuan Yang Terutama Yang di-Pertua Negeri Sarawak atas ucapan pembukaan rasmi Mesyuarat Pertama bagi Penggal Kedua Persidangan Dewan Undangan Negeri Sarawak Ketujuh Belas. Penekanan Tuan Yang Terutama Tun agar sentiasa memantau dan mengawal isu-isu sosial demi keselamatan dan kesejahteraan rakyat amatlah dihargai. Saya sangat berterima kasih kepada Tuan Yang Terutama atas seruan supaya kepimpinan kerajaan tempatan dan di peringkat akar umbi turun padang dan berinteraksi dengan rakyat bagi memastikan penyertaan mereka dalam pembangunan sosial dapat terus dipertingkatkan.
Sebelum saya meneruskan ucapan penggulungan, saya ingin mengambil kesempatan ini juga untuk mengucapkan tahniah kepada Yang Amat Berhormat Pehin Sri Ketua Menteri yang kita kasihi atas sambutan ulangtahun yang ke-76 pada 21 Mei 2012. Semoga Yang Amat Berhormat Pehin Sri sentiasa sihat sejahtera dan terus memimpin Kerajaan Barisan Nasional Negeri Sarawak.
CURRENT SOCIAL SCENARIO
Emerging Trends-Youth and Social Media
Social media has been proven to affect not only today’s youth but the majority of the world’s population. Overall, today’s youth are affected by the media in a number of ways, both positively and negatively. Facebook, blogs, twitters, forums, social networking and media sharing are the common „playgrounds? of our youth where they engage in building friendship, sharing information, voicing their opinions, showcasing their talents and creativity and keeping abreast of events around the globe.
The recent euphoria over the Facebook company‘s market share debut in the United State makes it the largest social network which goes to show the huge following it has not only in the United States but globally. On a positive note, social media has the potential to promote professional learning and therefore our youth should take advantage of the wide range of information for knowledge building and self improvement. But at the same time we should all play our role in educating our children on the general ethics when engaging in social media and importantly, about self censorship and the core rules of etiquette.
Extract from Page 45
I would like to response to the concern raised by the Honourable Member for Telang Usan on the influence of information from the internet or blog on our local culture. The influence of new culture spreading through the internet has indeed encroached into the local way of life amongst our younger generation. The need to ensure that our local culture and customs are preserved and do not erode over time would require all relevant parties to work together towards this common aim. Actually with the onset of the information technology, effort in preserving our culture is made easier as the internet can be used to store all the knowledge of the various communities in the form of the database accessible to anyone, anytime and anywhere. In this connection, my ministry will work closely with NGOs in planning more awareness seminars and workshops focusing on the youth in the future.
