Had late supper (11.00pm - 12.00pm) with Posiah, Sally and Ziana last nite at one mamak's outlet in section 3. Talked about a few issues:
1. 3G (Gebu, Gemuk & Gempal's women) and perhaps, soon 3B (Boroi, Botak & Buaya's men);
2. ISO thing (the department is currently having its ISO certification reviewed);
3. Life-style and the current trend of urban community (clubbing, eat-out; etc.;
4. Someone's attitude in the faculty which has created much confusion and displeasure among members.
Yes indeed. It is uncomfortable to talk about individual or human rights when there is a clear sign that individual is considered or accepted as the core value of the present system. It is the belief that the individual should be at the center of any conception of society or politics. In other words, it is the idea that people should be be able to go their own way, and as scholars put it, "do their own things".
It is one of the core values of democracy that takes the individual as one of its main component, in opposed to Islamic conception, which gives equal importance to both the individual and the group.
So, one cannot simply says that she or he has the right to do this and that by basing his claim only on so-called 'we live in a democracy country'. Think collectivism! Think about the entire community.
