4. Content of Interview:-  

          Our group went to a NGO which is P.S The Children on the 16th April 2013 at 1.30 p.m. to have a short interview with their program coordinator, Mr. Vijay. We actually wanted to have a voice recording throughout the interview but Mr. Vijay does not encourage us to do so. So we just write down the information he gives. P.S The Children is an organization that envisions a society that upholds the rights and dignity if all children through protection from sexual abuse and sexual exploitation. They create safer communities by establishing effective prevention education as well as by providing treatment and support services for child survivors and their families. 
       The organization aim is on three sections which are pre-school (4-6 years old), Primary (7-12 years old) and secondary (13-17 years old). Mr. Vijay told us that there are three types of abuse which are verbally, visually and physically abuse. Most of the people think that sexual abuse is raping or molesting the child but it is not right. Raping is not only sexual abuse, other form of abusing also include showing pornography, sending messages, talking to the child in inappropriate way, online bullying and etc. At most of the time, family members are the ones who abuse their children. According to research, 44.3% of the abuser is the child’s parents whereas 89% are the people who know the child such as neighbors, stepfather or stepmother, relatives and strangers. The causes of child abuse are usually parents who do not have good relationships. They get angry and mad easily and release stress on their children by abusing them. Sometimes, parents think that earning money is more important, they leave their children to neighbors to take care. Neglecting their child is also a kind of abuse. Most of the time, parents think that they are the one who have control on their child. They could not handle their work outside so when they come back home, they release their stress on the child. 
       Based on Mr. Vijay’s experience, child abuse will affect the development of the child. If the child did not be treated correctly, they will commit suicide, involve in alcoholism, hurting themselves, became hyper sexualize and even become abuser when they grow up. It might also affect their reproductive system; have impact on their self esteem which makes them not trusting people in the future. P.S The Children usually heal the children by undergoing treatment. They heal the children by making them to think positive and continue with their life. This organization often has talks and workshop about child abuse. They give information, knowledge and awareness to people to be more concern about this issue. Besides that, they also encourage people to listen and trust the children when they voice out that they were being abused. Trust is very important for children. Mr. Vijay says that people should build trust among the children so that if they were being abused, they have to courage to voice out. Children need support from people especially their parents. If neighbors found out that the child has the sign of being abused, they can call the child line which is 15999 to report the case.

 

Unemployment
Unemployment occurs when people are without work and actively seeking work. In the technologically advanced era, workers are replaced by machines or other advanced technology. This causes the workers lack of employment opportunities in Malaysia. Besides that, labors from Indonesia, Cambodia, Philippine, Bangladesh are coming to Malaysia for job opportunities. The reason why the foreign workers are increasing years after years because they are cheaper than workers in Malaysia. 

Crime
Nowadays, the crime rate has been increasing, and there have been a lot of cases like robberies, snatch thieves, and rapes happening in Malaysia. It is because of some people are lazy to look for jobs or they are looking for easy jobs opportunity. Moreover, labors from other countries like Indonesia, Bangladesh and so on are getting crowded in Malaysia. These will increase the crime rate as they will lose job very easily. Thus, they will try to be a robber or a thief.

Unwanted Pregnancy  
Unwanted pregnancy is growing years after years, making it as a major concern in Malaysia today. Unwanted pregnancy happened for many reasons. Some of them could be resulted from being raped since the society in Malaysia is getting dangerous nowadays; some of them could not be able to get contraceptives in coitus because they are too young, irresponsible and careless, or the contraceptives they use do not work. A young, unmarried woman may be totally unprepared, unwilling to assume the responsibilities of motherhood as it is difficult to supporting a child. Therefore, they may decide that a voluntary abortion or child abuse. This could be a disaster not only for her but also for the child. 

Racism 
Racism is the belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial difference produce an inherent superiority of a particulars race.  For example, in Malaysia, Indians are being looked down as they are poor and dark skin. In the meanwhile, people think their race is better than other people, thus, they discriminate and stereotype them like how Chinese only care about money and selfish, Indians are gangsters and are poor people, Malays are lazy and stupid, and so on. 

Traffic Congested 
In 21st century, most of the young people are getting cars when they are 18. They are driving their cars to college or university every day, because of convenience, and therefore they do not consider carpooling as an option. This will cause the road congested because too many cars driving in the same time on the road. Meanwhile, the transportation system in Malaysia is poor. There are few examples to show that how poor the transportation here is like KTM is always being late, monorail and LRT only can stop by in some of the area of city in Malaysia, and so on.
