journey to Penang (day four)

We were starting our forth day activities by listening to 2 keynote speakers. I was curious about the speech that would be given by Dato' Paduka Marina Mahathir. Reading her name reminded me to former prime minister of Malaysia, may be she is his daughter. She was asked to give a speech about women right, and she really gave the powerful data related to the harshness women faced all across the planet earth. For me, she was explaining to much about  women issues and it drove everyone's mind that men are really bad. It was not because I am a man but more to the fact that she was talking in front of senior high students. They needed to have equal and balance information from man perception and woman perception, so they could grab the red line about the issue and decided by their own which opinion was true.

After she finished the speech then the committee invited Mr. Toh Kin Woon to give his speech. Everybody in the Dewan Seameo/Seameo Hall was expecting that he would come as the opposition toward the idea given by Marina, but the high expectation about it would never be happened for he was giving an issue that had no correlation with the women right. So the tense in the room gone by the wind.
Mr. Woon actually gave us some interesting ideas about preventing the mother earth from distinction due to the overused of energy.
All participants suddenly buzzed at the back rows when he was continuing his explanation. It happened because Mrs. Women Right didn't pay attention to his speech. It was totally different while she was giving the presentation, Mr Woong was also listening to her and showing his appreciation to Mrs Marina.
This is the evident:
1. Mr Wong was listening to Mrs. Marina's presentation.
 2. Mrs. Marina was busy with her self phone when Mr. Woong gave his presentation.

This condition had caused many delegates felt uncomfortable because she was doing it in front of the students from 8 countries. Teaching will work when someone who teach it can give the good example. Students are very adaptive, and I don't want the students (whom ever he/she is) to imitate the action she had shown us.
