QUESTION 2:TOO MUCH CORONA SURVEILLANCE??

 CORONA SURVEILLANCE: HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH?


 With the wake of a pandemic, countries scramble to control the spread of a deadly disease known as Covid-19, since this disease can easily spread to another person and it could survive in a place for multiple days, it became understandable when a country wants to track its citizen movement. However, how much surveillance should we accept? Well, in my opinion, it depends on a person's views and stance on privacy. For some, they thought that the quarantine and the surveillance such as a mobile phone application is a necessary move and will gladly comply while others will think of it as a breach of their privacy and freedom.

    From my point of view, however, it depends on the surveillance. From where I am from, I think that the surveillance mandated by the government is necessary and not a big breach of my privacy, however, my opinion on this matter can change in the future. I think that we are still well within the line. However, I think it would cross the lines when the government decided to put surveillance that is not necessary for the struggle to combat the spread of the disease. An example of unnecessary surveillance would be a face-tracking camera. I think that would be a huge breach of privacy to a citizen and not at all necessary in the struggle to combat the disease.

    That is my take on the issue regarding Covid-19, I hope everyone reading this is on the best of health and as always, stay safe everyone.

QUESTION 3: How do you view the statement?

  “ The body is the greatest possession, the mind is the greatest treasure and the spirit is the greatest companion”.               From my point of view, the statement above is a wise and sounds pieces of advice that should be taken and remembered for the rest of our life.             The statement above is trying to tell us the three greatest things every human will gain at birth which is their body, their mind, and their spirit while also telling us to take great care of these three things for they are the most valuable thing that a human can have and once gone, could not be replaced easily. “The body is the greatest possession” means that our bodies are our possession and ours alone, the keyword of this first sentence is the word “possession” Possession implying that we should take great care of it i.e. it in this context being our body, we should nurture it, be...

QUESTION 4: REVELANCY OF POLITICAL NEWS IN CURRENT CLIMATE

       THE olive branch that Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin held out to his predecessor Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has finally snapped. The continuity of the Kedah state government was Muhyiddin’s peace offering to the Mahathir faction of Bersatu but it was spurned. As a result, the Pakatan Harapan government has 58 collapsed and Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir will be out as Kedah Menteri Besar for the second time in his political career. Mukhriz has referred to what is happening as “musim pengkhianatan” (season of treachery) after six assemblymen from his government jumped ship. (The Star, May 17, 2020)      How do you view the above situation? In current situation, how relevant and urgent should the political manoeuvres be addressed by the non-neutral media, when the people’s welfare and well-being are at stake? .      With the current political climate and the current crisis that we are facing I think it is very important that any ...

QUESTION 5:THOUGHTS?

  I think I learned a lot from this subject I know I said earlier that I think this subject is not that easy but not that hard either and I still stand by that statement because I think that this subject is hard enough that it could still challenge my knowledge as a student. However, I still do think that there are a few things this subject could improve upon.                 First off, while I believe that this subject does challenge and educates the student on the core subject, I think it could be executed better because there are still a few subject topics in this course that brings little, if any knowledge to the table, some of the topic in this subject felt more like a filler instead of something that would bring relevant knowledge instead of bringing knowledge that is easily digested and does not give any new piece of information, in other words, a useless addition to the subject, besides that I also...
