Discuss whether or not Tun Abdul Razak's son, our current prime minister, Datuk Seri Najib is continuing his father's legacy primarily in affirmative action.


                For my opinion when I watched the video A Leader’s Legacy Tun Abdul Razak I think Datuk Seri Najib is not continuing his father’s legacy. Tun Abdul Razak was our 2nd Prime Minister after Tunku Abdul Rahman. Tun Abdul Razak had played a huge part in making Malaysia for what it is today. But, this legacy has not been shown by his son Najib Razak, our current prime minister. Tun Abdul Razak had tried many ways to unite all people at that time. He also calm when May 13 incident, a day that changed Malaysian politics where the entire nation lived in infamy. When Malaysian experiencing a crisis with communist parties is becoming more common, he took a step that not everyone agreed that a visit to China to meet President Mao. For me, Tun Abdul Razak had taken the right steps to solve the problems that occur than keep silent  

         Datuk Seri Najib  begin with new concept that was 1 Malaysia,  on 16 September 2010, calling for the cabinet, government agencies, and civil servants to more strongly emphasise ethnic harmony, national unity, and efficient governance. Datuk Seri Najib creates 1 Malaysia to stresses national unity and ethnic tolerance but I think this concept his father’s Tun Abdul Razak has established over the years, but not everyone is aware of that concept. Nowadays, if we look closely Malay people now increasingly looked down upon by other races because of their own attitude. All the things that Datuk Seri Najib does have long been existence since his father became prime minister, but just use the new concept to attract the community. The unities that Tun Abdul Razak built were destroyed because of a dispute between political parties now. Datuk Seri Najib also do not know what action should be made to resolve the problems that occur .

         

          When Ministry of Entrepreneur and Cooperative Development (MeCD) abolished by Datuk Seri Najib many people do not say anything no demonstration, no protest and no attack. Perhaps they have forgotten that the Ministry of Entrepreneur and Cooperative Development is an important and strategic ministry in improving the standard of living of the Malays, the people who now are the majority group in the category of poor and hardcore poor in Malaysia. Now, Malay people will poor and being looked down upon by other races. This is just my POV, I do not mean anything.

Do you think Gandhi is responsible for the tragic end of his eldest son, Harilal?








          For me Gandhi is not responsible for the tragic end of his eldest son Harilal because this is the path that Harilal chose for his destiny. They had strained and complex relationship. Gandhi’s wife Kasturba wanted Harilal got proper education but Gandhi wanted Hari to get an education in their mother tongue. Gandhi also chose who to get married with Hari, for Gandhi he wanted to make perfect future to his son. He also wanted Hari to follow all his order. Harilal and Gandhi had dreams in opposite direction. Harilal wanted to become barrister like his father so he wanted to further his study in England but meanwhile Gandhi wanted his son would join him to his ideals and causes that had he made. 

       When Prajivan-bhai wanted to give the scholarship to further study in barrister, Harilal gave the interested but Gandhi not gave that opportunity to his children but someone else it was unforgivable moment to Hari. For me, first I watched this movie I feel that Gandhi being so bad to his own son because he did not give the opportunity to Hari and just thought about someone else than his own family. He knew Hari wanted to further the study, but how could he still being bad to Hari. His father wanted to give everything to him, but for Hari, world only saw his father not him if he worked with his father. He wanted to find his own path and own identity.

             He did not want his father helped although his father wanted to lead him to correct way. He decided to find his own destiny and left South Africa and joined his wife. He went back to school to take the exam but his failure and ended in a financial dump. He tried to borrow from his father, but Gandhi had no money.  Each of his schemes to make money fell through and he ended up building a horrible reputation for himself, all the while tarnishing his father’s name. Besides, he also involved in a crime by cheating in his business. He turned to alcohol for solace and shuffles back and forth between Hinduism and Islam, in a never-ending search for peace. Gandhi also gave Harilal much opportunity to come back to him, but Hari refused. So, Gandhi is not responsible for what happened to Harilal, he chose this path for his own.

In your opinion, do you think Gandhi has failed in his life work which is to promote non violence reuniting the people of India?






             I have watched Gandhi Movie, in my opinion Gandhi is not failed in his life work which is to promote non-violence and reuniting the people of India. When he was at South Africa, he wanted to reunite all people at there no matter what religion they are such as Jews, Hindus, Muslims, Christians and Sikh. His slogan was “one law one king” but British did not want to accept that particular things and always arrested Gandhi. 

             He came back to India with his wife and Charles the reporter. He did not know anything about India and wanted to find the real India, so he travelled around India with his wife and Charles.  Gandhi knew that India wanted the home rule, not rule that had been made by British. Gandhi emerged on the scene to bring the country under its own rule. He always said that in justice he always believed and “if I want to be like them, I have to live like them”. 

               All Indian loved Gandhi and even called him “Bapu” or “Gandhiji” that meant father. Gandhi always did the right things to help the Indian got what they deserved. He also led India protesting the national salt tax and later British immediately quit from India. He wanted the Indian peaceful, non violent and non cooperation. He wanted a freedom for the India. He also wanted Hindu-Muslim unity and defies the British. Gandhi also worked hard to stop the carnage between Muslims on the one hand and Hindus and Sikh that raged in the border area between India and Pakistan.

                  Gandhi spent his last days trying to bring about peace between both nations. He thereby angers many dissidents on both sides, and then he has been killed by Hindus nationalist. We can know that Gandhi always tried hard to make India independence from British and make a freedom to all Indians.

In your view, do you think Sherlock is an empathic character?




        Sherlock Holmes is a consultant detective in London. I do not know did he help the police to solve four serial suicides. He always does what he want and go where he wanted. The weirder the crime, the more he likes it not matter what the case.  He not paid by anyone, he does everything what he want. Did he empathize to someone else or just do what he thinks right to him? But when he has a new case that police cannot solve it, they will ask him to help them. Certain police does not like him just because he is psychopath especially Sergeant Donovan. In this case, Sherlock Holmes will cooperate with John Watson, the army doctor. Sherlock and Wilson will solve the case Pink, to find the suicide murderer. The murderer has killed four people. For the last murder, the victim leaves note. So, Sherlock so excited to find the murderer. Other than that, we can know that Sherlock also think about someone else because he wants to help solve the suicide murder. For the last victim, Jennifer Wilson, he gets a clue how the murder kills all victim that was Pink. Maybe Jennifer wears pink or like pink color. John says that women have asphyxiation because all victims have the same evidence. So, they know the fourth case also a serial killer. Sherlock have found the pink suitcase but Jennifer phone was missing. So, he and Dr Watson try to find the mobile phone. When they are trying to find the phone, lastly clue leads them to taxi cabbies. All the suicide murder has been done by cabbies  Apart from that, we know that Sherlock Holmes try to help solve the serial killer. For me this movie was interesting. We can know how Sherlock and Dr Watson help solve the suicide murder. In conclusion, Sherlock is an emphatic person. 









     

Several eureka moment that you have experienced throughout the documentary



              Several eureka moments that I have been experienced at 30 July 2012 are when we want to pay attention to the cards, remember and choose one of those cards. Then, the trick begin, what I don’t expect is the cards all same nothing different. First attention or game 1 is when the magician does his magic to the money. All the surroundings change and I didn’t notice at all because I am focusing on the trick, but I notice that the hat change black to brown. So, we can’t notice because we are focusing on one thing at the same time. Then, when give the picture and remember what have changed is difficult to me. Many things have changed in that picture. In second picture, we have to identify what have changed, I only discovered two things but there are seven changes in picture. Game 3 is when receptionist change but only three people notice that. This method maybe can trick our brain if we don’t careful. In game 4, when Appolo do his survey to take things from people. 




We have to notice what things he takes from that man. I only can notice the handkerchief and scarf he took from that man, wallet and phone I don’t know. Our brain also cannot do many works at the same time, we can mess it at all. For example, when we are too focus on driving and answered the question at that time it can disturb our attention. I also didn't notice three animals behind Appolo, because pay attention what he say and do, what I have notice is all his things change into freeze drinks. When host tells us to count how many dancer dancing in the circle when they dance I only notice the penguin walk in the middle because I am not to focus count dancer in the circle. I also know that when we are in hypnosis, we can say and remember the impossible words fast than before. Lastly, we are paying the attention at back of the picture that says “Are You Paying Attention”. I did not notice every game have brain. So, pay the attention what we are doing.
