Jabatan Perlindungan Data Peribadi Malaysia

Berita di Malaysiakini mengenai Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (baca di sini) adalah dirujuk.

I had just posted a message to the Facebook wall of Jabatan Perlindungan Data Peribadi Malaysia as follows:

Harap mendapat pengesahan Jabatan Perlindungan Data Peribadi Malaysia sama ada:

(i) Wakil Rakyat atau Menteri dalam menjalankan tugas mereka adalah "kerajaan" dan terkecuali daripada mematuhi peruntukkan PDPA 2010;

(ii) sama ada sms sebegini (bergantung kepada kandungan dan kegunaannya) adalah 'direct marketing' yang di tegah oleh PDPA 2010.

(iii) tertakluk kepada jawapan no (ii) di atas, sama ada aduan dan tindakan boleh diambil terhadap syarikat telekomunikasi yang mendedahkan data peribadi pelanggan tanpa memperolehi kebenaran/ataupun sekiranya kebenaran pernah diperolehi, ianya telah ditarik balik.

 Jawapan yang Jabatan tuan berikan akan digunakan untuk program Legal Awareness PDPA di syarikat saya dalam masa terdekat. Terima kasih.

Harap-harap ianya dapat dijawab segera. Penulis pernah pada tahun 2008 menghantar beberapa pertanyaan kepada Jabatan Perhutanan Malaysia yang berkaitan dengan urusan/tugas rasmi tapi hampa, tidak mendapat sebarang jawapan langsung!!!

Kisah guru disiplin dan baju Sekolah

Kisah ini dikongsi oleh seorang rakan yang bertugas sebagai guru.


****

Saya mengajar di sekolah rendah di tengah-tengah bandaraya Kuala Lumpur. Saya mengajar sesi petang.

Salah seorang murid saya setiap hari datang lambat ke sekolah. Kasut dan bajunya selalu kotor. Setiap kali saya bertanya tentang baju dan kasutnya dia hanya berdiam diri. Saya masih bersabar dengan keadaan pakainnya, tetapi kesabaran saya tercabar dengan sikapnya yang setiap hari datang lambat.

Pada mulanya saya hanya memberi nasihat. Dia hanya menundukkan kepala tanpa berkata-kata kecuali anggukkan yang seolah-olah dipaksa.

Kali kedua saya memberi amaran, dia masih juga mengangguk tetapi masih juga datang lambat keesokannya.

Kali ketiga saya terpaksa menjalankan janji saya untuk memukulnya kalau masih lambat. Anehnya dia hanya menyerahkan punggungnya untuk dirotan . Airmata saja yang jatuh tanpa sepatah kata dari mulutnya.

Keesokan harinya dia masih juga lambat, dan saya memukulnya lagi. Namun ia masih tetap datang ke sekolah dan masih tetap lambat.

Suatu hari saya bercadang untuk mengintipnya ke rumahnya. Setelah mendapatkan alamatnya, saya meneruskan niat saya. Dia tinggal di sebuah kawasan setinggan tidak berapa jauh dari sekolah. Keadaan rumahnya sangat daif. Saya nampak murid saya itu sedang berdiri di depan rumahnya dalam keadaan gelisah. Seorang wanita yang mungkin ibunya juga kelihatan gelisah. Lebih kurang pukul 1.30 seorang anak lelaki sedang berlari-lari sekuat hati menuju ke rumah itu. Sambil berlari dia membuka baju sekolahnya. Sampai di depan rumah baju dan kasutnya diserahkan pula kepada murid saya yang terus bergegas memakainya. Sebelum pakaian sekolah sempurna dipakai, dia sudah berlari ke arah sekolah. Saya kembali ke sekolah dengan penuh penyesalan. Saya memanggil anak itu sambil menahan airmata yang mula tergenang.

"Maafkan cikgu. Tadi cikgu pergi ke rumah kamu dan memerhatikan kamu dari jauh. Siapa yang berlari memberikan kamu baju tadi?"

Dia terkejut dan wajahnya berubah. "Itu abang saya. Kami kongsi baju dan kasut sebab tak ada baju lain. Itu saja baju dan kasut yang ada. Maafkan saya, cikgu." Jawabnya

"Kenapa kamu tak beritahu cikgu dan kenapa kamu biarkan saja cikgu pukul kamu?"

"Mak pesan, jangan meminta-minta pada orang, jangan ceritakan kemiskinan kita pada orang. Kalau cikgu nak pukul serahkan saja punggung kamu."

Sambil menahan airmata yang mula berguguran saya memeluk anak itu, "Maafkan cikgu".

Kejadian itu cukup menginsafkan saya. Selepas itu saya cuba membantunya setakat yang mampu.

My father's eye

Nota : Bacalah kisah ini dengan hati yang terbuka. Kepada para pembaca yang masih mempunyai ayah dan ibu, sayangi, hormati dan raikanlah hidup mereka. Sekiranya kita ada membuat salah dan silap dan pernah menyakiti hati mereka tak kira dengan perlakuan atau bertuturan kita atau apajua tindakan yang membelakangi hasrat mereka, bersegeralah untuk memohon ampun dan maaf. Semasa menghadiri majlis Ihtifal dan Kecemerlangan Pelajar 2012 baru-baru ini, penulis tidak dapat menahan air mata mendengar pengerusi majlis mambacakan cita-cita para pelajar anugerah cemerlang yang naik ke pentas mengambil hadiah yang bercita-cita mahu memimpin tangan kedua ibubapanya berjalan ke syurga.


Mudah-mudahan anak-anak penulis pun akan berjaya seperti mereka ini, Aamiin.

Sudahkah anda berbakti kepada kedua ibubapa atau orang-orang yang anda sayangi hari ini? Atau mungkinkah anda terlepas pandang dan ada golongan orang lain yang selama ini menyayangi anda dari jauh tanpa anda sedari, senantiasa mendoakan kebahagian anda dunia akhirat tanpa mengetahuan anda.

***** 

A teenager lived alone with his father, and the two of them had a very special relationship. Even though the son was always on the bench, his father was always in the stands cheering. He never missed a  game.


This young man was still the smallest of the class when he entered high school. But his father continued to encourage him but also made it very clear that he did not have to play football if he didn't want to. But the young man loved football and decided to hang in there. He was determined to try his best at every practice, and perhaps he'd get to play when he became a  senior. All through high school he never missed a practice nor a game, but remained a bench warmer all four years. His faithful father was always in the stands, always with words of encouragement  for him.

When the young man went to college, he decided to try out for the football team as a "walk-on."  Everyone was sure he could never make the cut, but he did. The coach admitted that he kept him on the roster because he always puts his heart and soul to every practice,  and at the same time, provided the other members with the spirit and hustle they badly needed. The news that he had survived the cut thrilled him so  much that he rushed to the nearest phone and called his father. His father shared his excitement and was sent season tickets for all the college games. This persistent young athlete never missed practice during his four years at college, but he never got to play in the game.

It was the end of his senior football season, and as he trotted on to the practice field shortly before the big play off game, the coach met him with a telegram. The young  man read the telegram and he became deathly silent.  Swallowing hard, he  mumbled to the coach, "My father died this morning. Is it all right if I miss practice today?" The coach put his arm gently around his shoulder and said,  "Take the rest of the week off, son. And don't even plan to come back to the  game on Saturday. Saturday arrived, and the game was not going well. In the third quarter, when the team was ten points behind, a silent young man quietly slipped into the empty locker room and put on his football gear. As he ran on to the sidelines, the coach and his players were astounded  to see their faithful teammate back so soon.

"Coach, please let me play. I've just got to play today," said the young man.

The coach pretended not to hear him. There was no way he wanted his worst player in this close playoff game. But the young man persisted, and finally feeling sorry for the kid, the coach gave in. "All right," he said. "You can go in." Before long, the coach, the players and everyone in the stands could not believe their eyes. This little unknown, who had never played before was doing everything right.  The opposing team could not stop him. He ran, he passed, blocked and tackled like a star. His team began to triumph. The score was soon tied.  In the closing seconds of the game, this kid intercepted a pass and ran all the way for the winning touchdown.

The fans broke loose. His teammates hoisted him onto their shoulders. Such cheering you've never heard!

Finally, after the stands had emptied and the team had  showered and left the locker room, the coach noticed that the young man was sitting quietly in the corner all alone. The coach came to him and  said, "Kid, I can't believe it. You were fantastic! Tell me what got into you? How did you do it?" He looked at the coach, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Well, you knew my dad died, but did you know  that my dad was blind?"

The young man swallowed hard and forced a smile, "Dad came to all  my games, but today was the first time he could see me play, and I wanted to  show  him I could do it!"
