I do savor the individualism... Which i found it makes every creatures different and unique. The traits of individualism makes the world as it is.

There are many different causes and effects to our seeming antipathy to individualism. For example, it is easy to find people who stereotype people according to their archetype. Let's said... if you are reading thicker book you are different than others; nerd and man-know-hows. But the point is, that's such individualism that makes people speculate over you... Because you can't help people who just simple making assumption on whoever you are.

This either an encouraging symptom of worldliness or should i call it as negative cynicism? or an indication that we are worryingly susceptible on the hoolabaloo on what ever people caused on us?

One more example is, we often perceived people on the way they lead their life. As we giving categories to various class of people; "Peasant", "Middle-Class", "Hi-Class". Can't we just simply take people as who they are not what they belong? Though it seems such a silly little thing, but anyway.. we've been living on such hegemony for years and it became a part of our system. And yet where is system exist, there will always be bureaucracy. And uncontrolably bureucracy killed the entire "Positive individualism" where we can see colors of people until there is no color, not white not black it is just simply "Negative individualism".

The negative part of individualism is where it become too individualistic and not even care about others. We are becoming selfish more and more. We don't even see others. And the saddest thing is we live on the trait of conformist. We take whatever it is. Or simply saying that,"Look, i just want
my beautiful life and do i have to bother what makes the world revolved?"

As i walked from Pudu Raya to my office, i can barely see a lot of beggars; The handicapped ones with the most are blind. It make me wonder for awhile. Are we not doing enough on providing them platforms to live; to earn their life? Or are they just being conformist, "I am blind, nobody gonna give me job and what kind of job suits me... Nay, i better beg, that's the oddest and halal job that i can do.."

See.. on how conformist had killed our spirit on living....

Some thoughts and saying from the trait of "Middle-Class" society said that, we ourselves everyday, finding ourselves, but there is a distressing to this fallow, called legion all babbling about self-awareness, motivation and goals.

Of course it is wearying individualism all over the time. It takes a lot of you. Some us need to rely on the comforts on living with an Apartment at Damansara, driving a MyVi and with 3 childrens. But that, isn't the only way of life, nor, conversely, are outward trappings of bourgeouis comforts neccesarily indicative of timid souls. It is on our mind, whether we are ready to challenge it or not. But if we do, of course there will always be risks. The point is, are you ready to burn out?

Rousseau said that, "Man is born free, and everywhere chooses to chain himself!". As i believe that we chosed our destiny and how we prepare ourselves for everyday. And as for the blinds who begged for their life, that's just the symbol of us... human being, we are blind and helpless, we can't just simply rely on others. It's all on our mind... the will that let you breathe everyday.

Je fais le savor l'individualisme… Ce que j'ai trouvé il fait chaque des créatures différentes et uniques. Les traits de l'individualisme fait le monde pendant qu'il est.

Il y a beaucoup de différents causes et effets à notre antipathie semblante à l'individualisme. Par exemple, il est facile de trouver les personnes qui les personnes stéréotypées selon leur archétype. Let dit… si vous lisez un livre plus épais vous êtes différent que d'autres ; ballot et homme-connaître-comment. Mais le point est, cela est un tel individualisme qui incite des personnes à speculer plus de vous… Puisque vous ne pouvez pas aider à peuple qui juste la prétention de fabrication simple sur celui qui vous sont.

Ce ou un symptôme encourageant de worldliness ou devrait je l'appellent en tant que cynisme négatif ? ou une indication que nous sommes importunément susceptibles sur le hoolabaloo sur ce que jamais les gens ont causé sur nous ?

Un plus d'exemple est, nous a souvent perçu des personnes sur le chemin qu'elles mènent leur vie. Comme nous donnant des catégories à la diverse classe des personnes ; « Paysan », « classe moyen », « Bonjour-Classe ». Ne pouvons-nous pas juste simplement prendre des personnes comme qui ne sont pas ils ce qu'ils appartiennent ? Bien que ce semble une petite chose si idiote, mais de toute façon. nous avions vécu sur une telle hégémonie pendant des années et c'est devenu une partie de notre système. Mais où est le système existent, là seront toujours bureaucratie. Et uncontrolably le bureucracy a tué « l'individualisme positif » entier où nous pouvons voir des couleurs des personnes jusqu'à ce qu'il n'y ait aucune couleur, pas blanc non noir il est simplement « individualisme négatif » juste.

La partie négative d'individualisme est où ce deviennent soin trop individualiste et non égal au sujet de d'autres. Nous devenons égoïstes de plus en plus. Nous ne voyons pas même d'autres. Et la chose la plus triste est nous vivent sur le trait du conformiste. Nous prenons celui qu'il soit. Ou simplement disant cela, « regard, je veux juste
ma belle vie et est-ce que je dois tracasser ce qui fait le monde tourné ? « 

Car j'ai marché de Pudu Raya à mon bureau, je peux à peine voir beaucoup de mendiants ; Les handicapés ceux avec les la plupart sont aveugles. Il me font la merveille pour pendant quelque temps. Sommes nous ne faisant pas assez sur les fournir des plateformes pour vivre ; pour gagner leur vie ? Ou sont ils étant juste conformistes, « je suis aveugles, personne qui va me donner le travail et quel genre de travail me convient… Non, je prie mieux, c'est le travail le plus impair et halal que je peux faire. « 

Voyez. sur la façon dont le conformiste avait tué notre esprit sur la vie….

Quelques pensées et dire du trait de la société de « classe moyen » ont indiqué cela, nous nous-mêmes journaliers, se trouvant, mais il y a affliger à cette jachère, appelée légion babillant tout au sujet de la conscience de soi-même, motivation et les buts.

Naturellement il se lasse l'individualisme partout le temps. Il prend beaucoup de toi. Certains nous le besoin de compter sur les conforts sur vivre avec un appartement chez Damansara, conduisant un MyVi et avec 3 enfants. Mais ce, n'est pas le seul mode de vie, ni, réciproquement, sont les piégeages extérieurs des conforts de bourgeouis nécessairement indicatifs des âmes timides. Il est sur notre esprit, que nous soyons prêts à le défier ou pas. Mais si nous, naturellement il y aura toujours des risques. Est-ce que point, vous est est prêt à griller ?

Rousseau a dit cela, le « homme naît librement, et choisit partout de s'enchaîner ! ». Car je crois que nous chosed notre destin et comment nous nous préparons pour journalier. Et quant aux stores qui ont prié pour leur vie, c'est juste le symbole de nous… être humain, nous sommes aveugles et délaissé, nous ne pouvons pas simplement simplement compter sur d'autres. Il est tout sur notre esprit… la volonté qui vous a laissé respirer journalier.

Déjenos dijo… si usted está leyendo un libro más grueso usted es diferente que otros; nerd y hombre-saber-hows. Pero el punto es, eso es tal individualismo que hace que especula la gente encima usted… Porque usted no puede ayudar a poblar quiénes apenas es la asunción de fabricación simple en quienquiera usted.

Como nosotros que dan categorías a la varia clase de la gente; “Campesino”, “clase media”, “Hi-Clase”. ¿No podemos tomar apenas simplemente a gente como quién no son lo que pertenecen? Aunque se parece una pequeña cosa tan tonta, pero de todos modos. hemos estado viviendo en tal hegemonía por años y se convirtió en una parte de nuestro sistema. Pero donde está el sistema existen, será siempre burocracia. Y uncontrolably el bureucracy mató al “individualismo positivo entero” donde podemos ver los colores de la gente hasta que no hay color, no blanco no negro él somos simplemente “individualismo negativo justo”.

La parte negativa de individualismo es donde se convierte en cuidado demasiado individualista y no uniforme sobre otros. Estamos haciendo egoístas cada vez más. Incluso no vemos otros. Y la cosa más triste es nosotros vive en el rasgo del conformista. Tomamos lo que es. ¿O simplemente diciendo eso, “mirada, apenas deseo
mi vida hermosa y tengo que incomodar qué hace el mundo girado? “

Pues caminé de Pudu Raya a mi oficina, puedo ver apenas a muchos de mendigos; Los inabilitados unos con el la mayoría están ocultos. Me hace la maravilla para un rato. Somos que no hacen bastantes en el abastecimiento de ellos las plataformas para vivir; ¿para ganar su vida? O son apenas que son conformista, “yo están ocultos, nadie que va a darme trabajo y qué clase de trabajo me satisface… Nay, pido mejor, ése es el trabajo más impar y halal que puedo hacer. “

Vea. en cómo el conformista había matado a nuestro alcohol en vivir….

Algunos pensamientos y el decir del rasgo de la sociedad de la “clase media” dijeron eso, nosotros ourselves diarios, encontrándose, pero hay el apenarse a este barbecho, llamado legión que farfulla todo sobre timidez, motivación y las metas.

Por supuesto está cansando individualismo por todas partes el tiempo. Toma a muchos de usted. Algunos nosotros necesidad de confiar en las comodidades en vivir con un apartamento en Damansara, conduciendo un MyVi y con 3 niños. Pero ésa, no es la única manera de la vida, ni, están inversamente las atavíos exteriores de las comodidades de los bourgeouis necesariamente indicativas de almas tímidas. Está en nuestra mente, si somos listos desafiarla o no. Pero si, por supuesto habrá siempre riesgos. ¿El punto es, es usted listo quemar?

Rousseau dijo eso, el “hombre nace libremente, y por todas partes elige encadenarse!”. Pues creo que chosed nuestro destino y cómo nos preparamos para diario. Y en cuanto a las persianas que pidieron su vida, eso es justo el símbolo de nosotros… humano, estamos ocultos y desamparado, no podemos apenas confiar simplemente en otros.

Aber der Punkt ist, das ist solcher Individualismus, der Leute rüber spekulieren läßt Sie… Weil Sie nicht helfen können, Völker, wem gerade einfache bildende Annahme auf whoever Sie sind.

Dieses entweder ein anregensymptom von worldliness oder sollte ich benennen es als negativer Zynismus? oder eine Anzeige, daß wir auf dem hoolabaloo beunruhigend empfindlilch sind auf, was überhaupt Leute auf uns verursachten?

Ein weiteres Beispiel ist, wir wahrnahm häufig Leute auf der Weise, die sie ihr Leben führen. Wie wir Kategorien gebend der verschiedenen Kategorie der Leute; „Landarbeiter“, „Mittelklasse“, „Hallo-Kategorie“. Nicht können wir Leute wie gerade einfach nehmen, wem sie nicht sind, was sie gehören? Obwohl es solch eine dumme kleine Sache, aber irgendwie. scheint. wir haben auf solcher Hegemonie für Jahre gelebt und es wurde ein Teil unseres Systems. Und doch, wo System ist, bestehen, werden immer Bürokratie sein. Und uncontrolably tötete bureucracy den gesamten „positiven Individualismus“, wo wir Farben der Leute, bis es keine Farbe, gibt, nicht das schwarze Weiß sehen können nicht es sind gerechter einfach „negativer Individualismus“.

Das negative Teil von Individualismus ist, wo es zu individualistische und nicht gleichmäßige Obacht über andere wird. Wir werden immer mehr egoistisch. Wir nicht sogar sehen andere. Und die traurigste Sache ist wir leben auf dem Merkmal des Konformisten. Wir nehmen, was auch immer es ist. Oder das einfach, sagend, „Blick, wünsche ich gerade

Sind wir genug auf dem Zur Verfügung stellen sie nicht tuend Plattformen, um zu leben; ihr Leben erwerben?

Selbstverständlich wearying es Individualismus ganz über der Zeit. Es nimmt eine Menge Sie. Einige wir Notwendigkeit, auf den Komfort auf dem Leben mit einer Wohnung bei Damansara zu bauen, ein MyVi fahrend und mit 3 Kindern. Aber die, ist nicht die einzige Lebensart, noch ist andererseits Außenabfangen des bourgeouis Komforts, der von den schüchternen Seelen notwendigerweise hinweisend ist. Es ist auf unserem Verstand, ob wir bereit sind, ihn herauszufordern oder nicht. Aber, wenn wir, selbstverständlich gibt es immer Gefahren. Der Punkt, sind sind Sie bereit auszubrennen?

Rousseau sagte den, „Mann ist frei geboren und beschließt überall, sich anzuketten!“. Da ich glaube, daß wir unser Schicksal chosed und wie wir für tägliches uns vorbereiten. Und was die Vorhänge anbetrifft, die um ihr Leben baten, ist das gerecht das Symbol von uns… menschliches Wesen, sind wir blind und hilflos, können wir nicht auf andere gerade einfach bauen.

Produkten av vår ”negationIndividualism”,

Jag njuter av individualismen…, Vilket I grundar, gör det varje unika varelser som är olika och. Dragen av individualism gör världen, som den är.

Det finns många olikt orsakar och verkställer till vår skenbara antipati till individualism. Till exempel är det lätt att finna folk som görar stereotyp folk enligt deras arketyp. Låt oss sade…, om du är läs- mer tjock, boka dig är olikt än andra; nerd och bemanna-veta-hows. Men peka är, det är sådan individualism som gör folk att spekulera över dig…, Därför att du inte kan hjälpa att bemanna vem det rättvisa enkla danandeantagandet på vem som dig är.

Detta endera ett uppmuntrantecken av worldlinessen eller bör I-appellen det som negationcynism? eller en indikering att vi är worryingly känsliga på hoolabalooen på vad folket orsakade någonsin på oss?

Ett mer exempel är, oss märkte ofta folk på dem leder långt deras liv. Som vi som ger kategorier till olikt, klassificerar av folk; ””Hi-Klassificerar” bonden”, ”medelklass-”. Inte kan vi precis enkelt taken bemanna som vem de inte är vad de hör hemma? Fast det verkar en sådan enfaldig småsak, men på något sätt. vi har bott på sådan hegemony för år, och det blev en del av vårt system. Och yet, var är systemet, finns ska det är alltid byråkratin. Och uncontrolably dödade bureucracyen den hela ”realitetindividualismen” var vi kan se färgar av folk, tills det finns inget färgar, inte inte svart vit det är rättvis enkelt ”negationindividualism”.

Negationdelen av individualism är var det blir för individualistic och inte ens omsorg om andra. Vi är passande själviskt mer och mer. Vi ser inte ens andra. Och det mest ledsna tinget är oss bor på draget av conformisten. Vi tar, allt vad det är. Eller enkelt ordstäv som, ”Look, I önskar precis
mitt härliga liv, och jag måste att besvära vad gör den kretsade världen? ”

Som jag gick från Pudu Raya till mitt kontor, kan jag knappt se tiggare för en radda; De handikappade är med mest rullgardinen. Det gör mig mirakel- för awhile. Är vi som inte gör nog på att ge dem plattformar för att bo; att tjäna deras liv? Eller är de som är precis conformisten, ”I-förmiddagrullgardinen, ingen som går att ge mig jobb och vilken sort av jobbet passar mig…, Nay förbättrar jag tigger, är det det mest udda och halal jobbet som jag kan göra. ”

Se. på hur conformisten hade dödat vår ande på uppehälle….,

Något tankar och ordstäv från draget av ”medelklass-” samhälle sade det, oss oss själva som var dagliga och att finna oss själva, men det finns bedröva till denna träda som kallas legionen som bladdrar all om self-awareness, motivationen och mål.

Naturligtvis tröttnar det individualism all över tiden. Det tar en radda dig. Några oss behov att rely på komfort på att bo med en lägenhet på Damansara och att köra en MyVi och med 3 barn. Men det, är inte den enda livsföringen, nor, är omvänt utåt tillbehörar av indikativen för bourgeouiskomfort nödvändigtvis av blyga souls. Det är på vårt varar besvärad, huruvida är vi ordnar till för att utmana det eller inte. Men, om vi, naturligtvis finns det ska alltid riskerar. Peka, är är du att ordna till för att bränna ut?

Rousseau sade det, ”är väljer manen fött fritt och överallt att kedja självt!”. Som jag tror att vi chosed vår öde och hur vi förbereder oss oss själva för dagligt. Och som för rullgardinerna, som tiggde för deras liv, är det rättvis symbolet av oss…, människa är vi blinda, och hjälplöst, kan vi inte precis enkelt rely på andra. Allt det är på vårt varar besvärad…, ska att låt dig andas dagligt.

Будут много по-разному причина и следствие к наш казаться antipathy к индивидуализму. Например, легко найти людей которые стереотипные люди согласно их архетипу. Препятствуйте нам сказал… если вы читаете более толщиную книгу, то вы по-разному чем другие; nerd и человек-знать-hows. Но пунктом, то будет такой индивидуализм который делает людей спекулировать сверх вы… Потому что вы не можете помочь населить как раз просто делая предположение на whoever вы.

Эт или ободряя симптом worldliness или я вызывает его как отрицательный чинизм? или индикация что мы worryingly susceptible на hoolabaloo на всегда люди причиняли на нас?

Один больше примера, мы часто воспринимал людей на дороге, котор они водят их жизнь. По мере того как мы давая категории к различному типу людей; «Селянин», «Middle-Class», «Hi-Тип». Не можем мы как раз просто принять людей как они не они принадлежат? Хотя кажется такой придурковатой маленькой вещью, но так или иначе. мы живем на таком гегемонизме на леты и стало частью нашей системы. And yet где система существуют, всегда будет канцелярщина. И uncontrolably bureucracy убило весь «положительный индивидуализм» где мы можем увидеть цветы людей до тех пор пока не будет никакого цвета, не белизну черную оно будем справедливым просто «отрицательным индивидуализмом».

Отрицательная часть индивидуализма где будет слишком индивидуалистическая и ровная внимательность о других. Мы будем шкурными больше и больше. Мы даже не видим другие. И самой унылой вещью будет мы живет на trait conformist. Мы принимаем оно. Или просто говорящ то, «взгляд, я как раз хочу
мою красивейшую жизнь и я должен докучать делает вращанный мир? «

По мере того как я погулял от Pudu Raya к моему офису, я могу чуть-чуть увидеть множество попроек; The handicapped одни с большой частью слепы. Оно делает мной интерес для awhile. Мы не делая достаточно на обеспечивать их платформы для того чтобы жить; заработать их жизнь? Или они как раз conformist, «я слепы, никто идя дать мне работу и что вроде работа одевает я… Nay, я более лучше умоляю, который будет самой сверхсчетной и halal работой которую я могу сделать. «

См. на как conformist убило наш дух на жить….

Некоторые мысли и говорить от trait общества «Middle-Class» сказали то, мы себя ежедневные, находящ, но огорчать к этому вызванному перелогу, легионом совсем лепеча о self-awareness, мотивировкой и целями.

Of course оно томит индивидуализм повсюду время. Оно принимает множество вас. Некоторые мы потребность положиться на комфортах на жить с квартирой на Damansara, управляющ MyVi и с 3 дет. Но то, не будет единственная дорога жизни, ни, наоборот, наружные запутывания комфортов bourgeouis обязательно признаковых трепетных душ. Оно находится на нашем разуме, ли мы готовы бросить вызов он или не. Но если мы делаем, то of course всегда будет риски. Пункт, вы готовы burn out?

Rousseau сказало то, «человек рожден свободно, и везде выбирает приковать!». По мере того как я верю что мы chosed наш destiny и как мы подготовляем для ежедневного. И как для шторок вымолили на их жизнь, то справедливо символ нас… людское существование, мы слепы и беспомощно, мы не можем как раз просто положиться на других. Оно все на нашем разуме… the will препятствовало вам вздохнуть ежедневным.

Ik doe savor de individualisme… Welk ik vond maakt het elke schepselen verschillend en uniek. De trekken van individualisme maakt de wereld zoals het is.

Er zijn vele verschillende oorzaken en gevolgen van onze schijnende antipathie aan individualisme. Bijvoorbeeld, is het gemakkelijk om mensen te vinden die mensen volgens hun archetype stereotyperen. Laten we gezegd… als u dikker boek leest bent u verschillend dan anderen; nerd en mens-ken. Maar het punt is, dat dergelijke individualisme is die mensen maakt over u speculeren… Omdat u geen mensen kunt helpen die enkel eenvoudige makende veronderstelling waarwhoeverop u bent.

Dit zou of een bemoedigend symptoom van worldliness of ik het als negatief cynisme moeten roepen? of een aanwijzing dat wij op hoolabaloo bezorgd vatbaar zijn op welke ooit mensen veroorzaakte op ons?

Één meer voorbeeld is, namen wij vaak mensen op de manier waar zij hun leven leiden. Aangezien wij die categorieën geven aan diverse klasse van mensen; „Peasant“, „Middenklasse“, „hallo-Klasse“. Kunnen wij geen mensen enkel eenvoudig nemen zoals wie zij niet zijn wat zij behoren? Hoewel het zulk een dwaze kleine ding schijnt, maar hoe dan ook. wij hebben op dergelijke hegemonie jarenlang geleefd en het werd een deel van ons systeem. En toch waar het systeem is besta, zal er altijd bureaucratie zijn. En uncontrolably doodde bureucracy de volledige „Positieve individualisme“ waar wij kleuren van mensen kunnen zien tot er geen kleur is, niet witte niet is zwart het enkel eenvoudig „Negatieve individualisme“.

Het negatieve deel van individualisme is waar het en niet zelfs zorg over anderen te individualistic wordt. Wij worden meer en meer egoïstisch. Wij zien zelfs anderen niet. En het droevigste ding is wij leeft op de trek van conformist. Wij nemen wat het is. Of eenvoudig zeggend dat, „, kijk wil moet ik
enkel mijn mooi leven en ik wat de wereld hinderen gedraaid maakt? „

Aangezien ik van Pudu Raya aan mijn bureau liep, kan ik heel wat bedelaars nauwelijks zien; De gehandicapte met het meest zijn blind. Het maakt me enkele ogenblikken benieuwd zijn voor. Zijn wij die genoeg niet bij het verstrekken van hen doen platforms om te leven; om hun leven te verdienen? Of zijn zij die enkel conformistisch zijn, „ik ben blind, niemand die me baan gaat geven en welk soort baan me… aanpast Nay, bedel ik beter, die het meest oneven en halal werk ben dat ik kan doen. „

Zie. op hoe conformist onze geest bij het leven…. had gedood

Sommige gedachten en het zeggen van de trek van de maatschappij van de „Middenklasse“ zeiden dat, wij zelf die elke dag, vinden, maar daar het verontrusten aan deze braakakker zijn, genoemd legioen al babbling over zelfbewustzijn, motivatie en doelstellingen.

Natuurlijk vermoeit het individualisme helemaal in de tijd. Het neemt heel wat u. Sommigen ons moeten zich op het comfort bij het leven met een Flat die in Damansara baseren, een MyVi drijft en met 3 kinderen. Maar dat, is niet de enige manier van het leven, noch, omgekeerd, is naar buiten het opsluiten van bourgeouiscomfort noodzakelijk indicatief van schuchtere zielen. Het is op onze mening, of wij bereid zijn om het of niet uit te dagen. Maar als wij, natuurlijk zal er altijd risico's zijn. Het punt, bent bent u bereid zich uit te branden?

Rousseau zei dat, de „Mens geboren vrij, is en overal verkiest om te ketenen!“. Aangezien ik geloof dat wij ons lot chosed en hoe wij ons op elke dag voorbereiden. En zoals voor de zonneblinden die voor hun leven bedelden, dat enkel het symbool van ons… is menselijk wezen, zijn wij blind en hulpeloos, kunnen ons wij niet alleen eenvoudig op anderen baseren. Het is allen op onze mening… de wil die u laat elke dag ademen.

The Perdana Global Peace Organisation is organizing a conference cum Exhibition entitled EXPOSE WAR CRIMES: CRIMINALISE WAR from 5th to 7th February 2007 from 8.30am. to 5.30pm. at the Putra World Trade Centre, Kuala Lumpur. The Conference will be held at Dewan Merdeka, PWTC while the Exhibition, which will be extended to February 11 2007, will be held at Dewan Tun Razak Hall 4.

This Conference and Exhibition is the continuation of our efforts to publicise and garner as much support as possible to the Kuala Initiative to Criminalise War which was launched by Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamed in December 2005.

The objectives of this Conference and Exhibition are:

To educate and enlighten participants and visitors that wars are wantonly destructive and essentially unnecessary.
To inculcate a general abhorrence for war and conflict such that war mongers should be held accountable for their crimes against humanity.
To challenge whatever general sense of apathy still exists today.
To instill the advocacy of ‘No War but Peace’ and ‘Make War History’.
To highlight the role of the War Crimes Tribunal in ensuring justice for the international community
To provide space for debate, discussion and sharing of thoughts on this crucial issue that threatens human extinction.
The War Crimes exhibition would be the first of its kind to be held in a Muslim country and will highlight atrocities committed in Bosnia, Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon, Vietnam and not forgetting the nuclear devastation in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. An interactive exhibition, visitors would be exposed also to the horrors of the tortures inflicted on detainees held in the Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo prisons.

We have also assembled an internationally renowned panel of speakers to address the delegates gathered here from all over the world. The following have confirmed their acceptance to speak at the Conference.

hye ya...Guys..i found this great articles to share with ya all!! Check it out!

DEEPAK GILL volunteered as an aid worker in Afghanistan for a month last year. Here's his account.
PEERED out of the window as the aircraft slowly descended. It looked like we were about to land on Mars. The land was void of trees, and shrubs were sparse as well. The entire landscape was reddish brown, including the hills, valleys and mud homes.

As usual, curiosity got the upper hand over nervousness, so I was eager to get explore this alien land. We were now in south-west Pakistan, as close as this aircraft could get to Afghanistan, my destination.

The short domestic flight from Karachi to Quetta carried a capacity crowd, among them Mercy Malaysia’s Mission 20, a five-person volunteer team of which I was a member. The others in the team were private practitioners Dr Norherah Syed Omar, 37 and Dr Heng Aik Cheng (a Mercy exco member) (49), photographer Ben Chai (59) and lecturer Hanita Hanim Ismail, 28. The team would be deployed for two weeks, while I was staying on for another two.

Cool autumn air mingled with the omnipresent dust as we cleared the little airport’s security. We were met by Malaysian Ismail Mohammed Hashim, Afghanistan Project Manager, and his right-hand man, Mercy Project Officer Omer Agha, a Pashtun Afghani. Both were dressed in traditional Afghan threads.

They took us to Mercy’s Quetta base, where we played a waiting game. The overland run to the Afghan border was not as safe as it normally was, thanks to tribal feuds. So we had to sit it out and wait around for a few days – not a problem for me because I entertained myself with the bongos that I brought along, read a Dalai Lama book and chatted with Ismail, 36, a personality you don’t often meet.

He had moved from a relatively hedonistic job to work with an international aid organisation.

I might have bumped into Ismail at some point during my nightclubbing sorties in downtown Kuala Lumpur. He said I looked familiar. Ismail was formerly the operations director of one of the top restaurant cum nightclubs in the city before he quit and signed up with Mercy for his one-year tour in Afghanistan. We had lots of juicy stories to exchange about home.

It struck me that my one-month tour would be a lot more smooth-going working with somebody I clicked with. From Quetta onwards, I made it a point to make an entry in my journal every night (i.e. the uncensored variety of this story!)

After five days of being holed up in Quetta, the time finally came for us to roll out. That news was a relief, especially for the other guys as their tour was only for two weeks. We were determined to make it into Afghanistan although not all the requisite security-related papers were sorted out.

When we finally hit the road in a three-vehicle convoy, it was a six-hour journey through deserts, villages and mountains. We spent some time at the border, paying a courtesy call to the Pakistani military chief in charge of the area. The border at Spin Boldak is chaotic to say the least, with all sorts of trucks, farm vehicles and people gridlocking the little road. There were a lot of shady-looking characters, some possibly with guns under their robes. It was like a scene out of a Western, except some of the cowboys here look like Taliban.

Mercy’s old office here had been stormed and robbed by bandits armed with AK-47s, the preferred tool of intimidation. Fortunately nobody was shot – I am told its customary for them to pop at least one person before they flee the scene.

I said to Ismail in the safety of our air-conditioned MPV, “Man, what a sh@&hole.”

He laughed and agreed. It was a relief to pass through that dump of a township and be in Afghanistan.

The first thing you notice about Afghanistan is how dry, dusty and barren it is. For someone coming from a lush tropical country, this can be a little unsettling at first. But you get used to the dust in your hair, eyes, nose, mouth, shoes, bag, on your shades, and clothes. In seven years it rained once, and that was several months ago.

We stopped a little later to get our passports stamped. As we drove on, I noticed a “tent village”, where hundreds live under the searing sun below canvas and tarps. These were among the millions displaced by decades of brutal fighting.

After several hours, we passed the Kandahar airport on the outskirts of the city, currently occupied by the US forces. There was a burnt-out Soviet tank – from their failed 1980-89 invasion – standing silently by the road and rusting into history. It was a reminder of the one million Afghanis who were killed by the USSR.

The “city” itself proved to be no more than a large “brown town” – everything seemed brown, due partly to dust and the use of mud to build or coat most buildings. Many had holes – from bullets and shells. Hardly anything stood higher than two floors.

Ismail led us into Mercy’s compound, which was guarded by two bearded men with an AK each, a standard-issue as common as cutlery (actually so were beards). The “crib” was more comfortable than I expected – there were two houses in two areas – one for the local staff and another for us. We unloaded our packs and kicked back for the day.

The next morning we visited Mercy’s Vocational Training Center (VTC) downtown. This is a very successful project where women are trained over three months in sewing. At the end of the programme, the successful ones get a sewing machine to take home with them. At least, the family would not need to buy clothes anymore. They might be able to make some money as well.

Other international NGOs have visited the centre to learn more from Mercy on how to encourage Afghani women to change their mindset and make the necessary improvements. For years, the women have been made to feel that they do not belong in society, no thanks to the Taliban. This centre is among the reasons Mercy is well-respected by the locals and by international aid agencies here, including the United Nations (UN).

Another facility that has greatly benefited mothers and their kids is the Mother Child Health Center (MCH), a free medical service run by Mercy. This is also located within the city, in a large, two-storey rented bungalow. Dr Norherah and Dr Heng were stationed here for a while and attended to patients, whose number swelled significantly when word got round that Malaysian doctors were in town!

The MCH has been operating since mid-2003, and provides free consultation and medicine to Afghani women. It does not charge, even for deliveries. While we were there in August, the first birth took place, and the delivery was by a new female doctor from Kabul, Dr Jamilah.

As Afghani women have for many years been sidelined and many are penniless and widowed or have lost sons to the wars, what Mercy is doing is heaven-sent for them. For most, there is no where else to turn. Many can’t afford even the low cost of medicine at the Kandahar hospital.

Every morning I would see a new bunch huddled outside the centre waiting their turn. Most would have their kids with them and little else. These people had very little belongings and some of their clothes were in pretty bad shape – old, faded and covered with dust.

The burqa or robe is normally thrown over their regular clothes, and most times it’s blue. To me, it looked like a parachute over the body with a net for the face so they could see and breathe. Many patients would uncover their faces once inside our compound, but some would hurriedly bring “down the shutters” as soon as a male appeared.

I taught English to the centre’s staff every afternoon, a project that was not as straightforward as I had imagined. Fortunately both men and women were grateful and very enthusiastic, eager for any form of education. One midwife, whom I referred to as “aunt”, insisted that I address her as moor or “mother”.

The third Mercy project in Kandahar is the provision of wells in villages. We had the opportunity to visit most of the well project locations. However we gave some villages a miss because of security concerns. (We had weekly meetings at the UN headquarters where we were briefed on the security situation by the UN and the US military).

The well projects involve the drilling of wells that are operated with hand pumps, and located in a central part of the village. This water is normally the source of all the villagers’ water supply, whether for drinking, bathing or cooking. Sadly, almost all the rivers that I came across were as dry as dust.

One well under construction which we visited was located beside a huge marijuana plantation. Drugs seemed to have made a comeback since the Taliban were ousted.

Hanita was assisting the trainers at the VTC to teach English to the students. The classes are conducted during the mid-morning break, and the girls seemed very enthusiastic about learning the new language. Hopefully this new generation would be more educated than their parents and they would be able to help rebuild the country. While life expectancy in Malaysia averages 72 years, in Afghanistan, it’s only 47 years (reference: CIA World Factbook).

The mission members were usually escorted by Ismail, Omer and another Mercy Project Officers, Asham Agha – who were very handy as interpreters as well. Nothing was ever lacking for us – these three guys saw to that, whether it was food or drinks or work-related needs.

I accompanied Ismail to meetings with other aid agencies or with the UN. Otherwise, I would read, watch TV or snooze in my spare time. Evenings and nights were pretty tame, and we always stayed within the compound after dark. Nights were the time to talk with my colleagues – about anything and everything.

Mercy’s large compound in Kandahar is recognisable from some distance away – fluttering proudly in the wind above the high perimeter is the country’s and Mercy’s flags. However, for security reasons, the organisation’s four vehicles do not carry the Malaysian flag, as it is rather similar to the American flag and could be targeted. Mercy has three MPVs (one is an ambulance) and a pick-up.

Safety-wise, Ismail saw to it that we placed extra emphasis on security. While we were in Kandahar, there were several attacks against aid organisation compounds or their staff, and unfortunately some were successful. I had a two-way radio, a satellite phone, US currency and passport with me at all times, even when I slept. This would enable immediate evacuation with just the clothes on my back – if necessary.

Being on the road was a little more nerve-racking, since there had been an incident of a Red Cross vehicle travelling out of town being stopped by armed men. The four local aid staff were executed. There were several rural areas that I had wanted to travel to but was advised against it for my own safety.

Two weeks passed and the other guys left. I stayed on for another two weeks, and was pretty much on my own as Ismail had gone back to Malaysia for his well-deserved break and his assistant Nizam was still in KL. I was accompanied by Omer as well as our local Afghani staff who lived within the HQ’s compound – the cook, gateman, the drivers and project officers. I was fortunate to have them as company. When I was down with high fever, they looked out for me like a brother.

I had a chat with one of the young MCH nurses Halimah towards the tail-end of my tour. She explained that women here still have to behave and look very conservative, as many Afghanis fear the government will not hold out and factions, like the Taliban, would re-emerge. The capital Kabul has seen liberal moves but Kandahar is still conservative for this was the Taliban’s capital.

Like all women, as soon as she leaves the premises, she puts on the burqa and becomes just another silent, faceless person.

One of the first sensations back in KL was of amazement – at how many different colours there are apart from brown. Especially green! I had a great time checking out the trees and lush greenery – it’s something you miss and appreciate after a month in a barren land. That, and girls without burqas! I had to deal with culture shock yet again.

Coming home was like taking a dreamy vacation to paradise. I recalled a quote:

The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one’s own country as a foreign land – G.K. Chesterto

At that moment, when I just got home, this quote couldn’t have been more right.

However, for a couple of days, I wasn’t sure where I truly belonged, as I had settled in well and had really gotten into the daily routine of life in Afghanistan.

Mercy Malaysia was kind enough to offer me the opportunity to work on their Afghanistan projects for another six-months. I was all for it but had to decline as I couldn’t get leave from work. I have not been very active with Mercy since then, although I hope to change that soon.
