"And now, the end is near".....before we draw the final curtain to this national dog and pony show, the top dogs, cats and rats are one on top of each other to rescue the flawed National Service extravaganza. They have come out with more razzmatazz to cover the shit that already stinks to high heavens. They have repackaged the NS....a poor , feeble attempt at damage control. But don't judge them too soon until you know what is in the new package.......the cute pig, the symbol of fertility ....statistics have it that they multipy faster than rats....in fact all the four-leggers featured are master-breeders. YES SIREE.....they are including sex education as a must-know (can do, must do) during the three months stink. Hantu feels that thus preoccupied the trainees wont opt for "sudden deaths".
Here's what from the Associated Press:
Malaysia
Authorities in the conservative, Muslim-majority nation are considering teaching sex education to teenagers when they undergo national service after leaving school, Abdul Hadi Awang Kechil, director general of the National Service Department, said Wednesday.
Ng Yen Yen, the minister who announced the proposal, was quoted by the national news agency, Bernama, as saying that sex education, including lectures about preventing AIDS, could shield youngsters from unhealthy activities. Ng's aide confirmed the minister made the comments Tuesday.
As is often the modus operandi in this country, reinforcement is important to lend credence to an idea....the more the merrier, gotong-royong style. Here is an expert (?) contribution:
Adeeba Kamarulzaman, president of the Malaysian AIDS Council, said (tongue in cheek?):
Sex education classes in national service could prove useful because many school teachers are too embarrassed to expound on sex-related topics, she said.
"Better late than never," Adeeba told The Associated Press. "It's a good opportunity. They are at the right age to be receiving this kind of education."
Adeeba dahling, pure unadulterated hogwash! (apologies to Ena, for borrowing). The RIGHT age is when our sons and daughters ask why they are different and the purpose of these differences. As parents we do not tell them stories about birds and bees and such stupid stories about the stork bringing in little brothers and sisters. We tell it as it is.....we even bathe together and the deluge of questions follow....at least Mrs Zorro and I did with our kids whens they were of the inquisitive WHY period. That is the only time the long bath is a bit over crowded....but good for bonding as a family. Sex is perceived taboo when we dont talk about it to our kids. Sex is dirty when we avoid answering questions posed by our kids who want to know FROM their parents. So where do they get their answers? You know! And at NS-going-age, they can tell you many things you don't know. Go ask your own kids.....if you know how!
Admittedly some parents abdicate this responsibility and as such PARENTS should be re-educated along these lines. VALUES learnt from parents are nurtured and they become Aids-free good values preparing and equipping our kids for their future.
IF THE NS WANTS TO INCLUDE SEX EDUCATION AS A MODULE....NAME US THOSE CREDIBLE AUTHORITY YOU HAVE IN YOUR STABLE.....YES ONE EXPERT FOR EACH CAMP. DO THAT, POST THEIR NAMES OTHERWISE DON'T GIVE US ANYMORE SHIT.
