The recently concluded Iranian presidential election reveals the behavior of young generation. It has become increasingly apparent that the young generation's expectation with regard to the idea of a nation and its adminsitration need to be studied and handled correctly. Not only in Iran, the 'young and restless' are everywhere. We can see demos in Jakarta, Seoul, Athens or even Paris involving these young people.
The restlessness have become unbearable There is an urgent need for us to study on WHY aspect of this phenomena and HOW to handle it. Answering this question of WHY and HOW is important because the expectation of these strong young voices might not be necessarily right. Given their youth, their demand may lack wisdom and their solution may be shallow. The only things they have are their brute force, vocal voice and large in number.
The govt cannot entertain the youth as is. If the govt succumb to their demand as is, then we are in grave danger for their (the youth) preference may lead to destablization of our country. However, the govt need to reach out to this people and this is where it gets interesting. The current method of govt approach seems to be not working. This may be due to the usage of out-of-date technique. The old school such as Rakan Muda, pertubuhan Belia may not work anymore. The govt need to employs techniques that are appealing to the young. Something that allow for their involvement on nation building. More importantly, the leaders and shakers of the young group. The young group may likes pop music, but its leaders and shakers are more towards involvement in nation building, religious enrichment or serious consultations. It is these m&s that the govt has to look upon for these m&s are the one who will command the pop music group. Once they feel that the land belong to them and rsponsible to it that their behavior might be different since now their concern is protecting their belongings from falling into wrong hands.
Above all, by being able to answer the WHY and HOW question as stated just now, hopefully we can have a better and peaceful place to live in where all the differences can be solved amicably.
I don't have the luxury to write on this blog - However, these are the collections of my thoughts at one point or another.
