Youth must not easily sway by online spin - Karim

KUCHING: Youths in the state are encouraged to have an open mind when they come across news on issues that may come across as sensitive.

Assistant Minister of Youth Development Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said that with social media playing a major role in today’s society, it was crucial not to veer to extremes in opinion.

Citing last year’s general election, he pointed out that news on small issues that were reported in newspapers or posted online via social media can be misconstrued and blown out of proportion.

“We are all interested in reading news online including those from blogs where the posts lean towards either the government or opposition parties.

“However, it is better for us to have our own stance and analyse what we have just read before jumping to conclusions,” he said at the launch of the state-level ‘Program Gemilang Siswa & Forum Jati Diri 1Malaysia Siri II’ at Tun Ahmad Zaidi Adruce Auditorium of Teacher Education Institute of Malaysia (IPG) in Batu Lintang campus yesterday.

Abdul Karim also acknowledged that there is an uphill challenge among the society these days with topics such as religion easily taken out of context and becoming an issue.

“If there is a big disparity and imbalance among the community, this can cause conflict and result in disintegration in our country.

Masyarakat harus berfikiran terbuka dan tidak ekstrem

Negara berhadapan golongan sedemikian yang boleh gugat perpaduan, kesatuan rakyat, kata Karim

KUCHING: Masyarakat pada masa kini harus berfikiran terbuka dan tidak bersikap ekstrem dalam usaha kerajaan memastikan perpaduan dan kesefahaman rakyat terus dipelihara.

Menteri Muda Pembangunan Belia (Bandar) Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah berkata, negara kini berhadapan dengan cabaran daripada golongan berfikiran sempit dan terlalu ekstrem yang dilihat boleh mengganggu gugat perpaduan dan kesatuan rakyat.

“Cabaran yang kita hadapi pada masa kini amat besar, hal yang remeh menjadi isu besar, sebab itu kita perlu memastikan rakyat berfikiran terbuka dan tidak terlalu ekstrem terhadap sesuatu perkara agar keharmonian dan perpaduan masyarakat berbilang kaum sentiasa terpelihara,” katanya.

Beliau berkata demikian ketika berucap pada Majlis Perasmian Program Gemilang Siswa dan Forum Jati Diri 1Malaysia Peringkat Negeri di Institut Perguruan Batu Lintang di sini semalam.

Karim memberitahu, masyarakat perlu mempunyai pendirian sendiri dan menjalankan analisis yang lebih mendalam terhadap sesuatu perkara sebelum membuat keputusan.

“Malah, kita di Sarawak membangun dalam suasana dan budaya yang berlainan daripada Semenanjung Malaysia sebab itu Perdana Menteri (Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak) mendapat ilham 1Malaysia apabila beliau berkunjung ke negeri ini dan Sabah.

“Saya sendiri membesar dalam suasana majmuk dan mendapat pendidikan di sekolah mubaligh di mana saya belajar ilmu Bible (Al Kitab), hari ini kalau orang Islam disuruh belajar mengenai pengetahuan Bible akan menjadi isu besar,” tambahnya.

Kota Samarahan election candidate sure to deliver -Karim

April 8, 2013, Monday

KOTA SAMARAHAN: PBB Supreme Council member Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah is confident that the BN candidate for Kota Samarahan will serve the people in the constituency well.

He said he based his confidence on the candidate’s service record, which made him or her familiar with the problems and needs of the people there.

“We know the capability of this candidate and we know the person is hard working and familiar with the needs of the local community.

“So there should not be any problem for the candidate to give the best service to the people in Samarahan,” he said at the state-level 1Malaysia Community Carnival here last Saturday.

On a related matter, the Assistant Minister of Housing hoped that voters in Kota Samarahan would continue to give their support to the BN leadership in the coming general election.

On their readiness, he said the BN machinery in the area had long been preparing for the election and was raring to go.

“The operation had been set up but the poster of the candidate had yet to be printed.
