Lutfi's Eulogies
Created by: Lufti Mufti
Delivered by: My eldest son (hopefully)
Inalillahi wa ina ilaihi raji’un...
I say this for Lutfi Adhiansyah Muftie,
a person that we used to call father, brother, uncle, son or husband.
Inalillahi wa ina ilaihi raji’un...
What a simple words that we express to delivered his death,
yet.. it reminds us for our existence and the whole purpose of our life.
Life… life is something that really fragile, we always thought that we going to live forever, but yet, death is the fact that no one can hide from it. In fact, Death is the one that humbled the arrogant, the rich and the powerful.
Although, life is very short, but Lutfi’s death today reminds us that we have to carve our life to be great as what he do to his life.
Once, he gives us the example of life of a good muslim that whatever lutfi do he’ll benefit other, whenever he did not do anything, he did not disturb others. As a father, he was very caring. As a husband, he was very loving. As a person, he was very humble, simple, honest and just.
We seldom to see a great leadership that he has shown to us, we seldom to hear motivated words as what he always tell us.
So, let his life be an example for all of us that attend on his funeral, for those that not have chance to attend, let us spread the story of his great life.
Lastly, let us remember his struggle, his principle and his way of life, truly all of these will be better than we mourning because of his death.

Dexter's presentation about Phillippines
Many countries, either developed or developing country that have muslims citizens as minority, those muslim are always mistreated and discriminated by the government, either through economy or law policy.
However, seldom for this kind of issues are exposed by the news media inside that country. But, it's is not a strong reasons why most of the muslim country not taking any action to help their brother and sister in country such as Phillippine that similarly have same issues as what muslim in Thailand has faced.
the real reason is because Muslim are not united...
Anyway, for the presentation that dexter has delivered, it was quite nice..
the positive things about his presentation is, he was manage to overcome his technical problems by continuing his presentation only with a piece of paper although he forgot to bring his USB that contain his slide presentation.
but...
his charming presentation is totaly ruin when he said "hmm... i'm sorry i guess im gonna end my presentation because i'm nervous, anything else you can't asking me in question"..
well... dexter, i guess my advice to you is, improve you professionalism when delivering your speech, because what you do seems not like a pro speaker...
heheee... but well done for your presentation

LAST PRESENTATION FROM NASHRUL!!!!
In my opinion, he’s already presented his topic well but he lack of the information that he need to mention about the country…sometimes he’s more on reading his slide that he was provide.. He also look so shy and not comfortable to see the audience…
He is the last presenter for our class, so there is high expectation from us to listen to his presentation about Chechya… whatever it is, he’s already do the best for his presentation…
His presentation is all about CHECHYA….

BOOK REVIEW (WAHIDAH)
Sheikh Fathi Yakan (born 1933) is an Islamic cleric who held a seat in the parliament of Lebanon in the past. He is one of the Islamic scholar wrote so many kind of books and article about Islam. He was born in Tripoli
Sheikh Fathi Yakan is the head of the Islamic Action Front . It is one of the most important events during his services as the head of Islamic Action Front. Here I provided the excerpts from a Friday sermon by Sheikh Fathi Yakan because it is very important to his followers during his period at that time which aired on Al-Manar TV on December 2006.
Fathi Yakan: It's not true that the [Hizbullah] ministers' resignation from the government is an attempt to thwart the international tribunal. It was a response to pressure by the opposition and an effort to foil the plan of hijacking Lebanon, in order to Americanize and Zionize it.
[...]
Brothers, are you aware that this tribunal – and, I'm sad to say, anything that comes out of the U.N. – must first be Zionized and get the Zionist stamp of approval? Are you aware that at the head of the legal team, appointed by Kofi Annan to study the proposal for an international tribunal… Are you aware that this legal team is headed by a Jewish woman? Yes, she is a Jewish woman, in the full sense of the word. It is no secret that this Jewish woman is Dr. Daphna Shraga, who graduated with a Ph.D. from Tel Aviv University. What else can be said about this tribunal, its role, its direction, and its rulings, if it is headed by a Jewish woman of this kind?
[...]Brothers and sisters, it is not true that the resistance is turning the Sunnis into Shiites. What is true is that we, the Sunnis, who began the resistance, must fulfill our natural role, which is dictated to us by our Shari'a law. The Shari'a dictates this upon us and upon our Shiite

Eulogy Speech by aMaLina
I have run with all the difficulties
I have gone through with all the sweet memories
With you and everyone that I really miss
I wish I would always be with you
Gone through everything that you do
But what can I do
I have to leave you
The time has come for me to leave
Leave away the childhood memories
The live in university
And also memories
With the members of the family
If ever the day comes
You find someone better than me
Just remember that
What I gave you is the best of what I have
And what I’m to you
Is the best that I could only be
The time has come for me to leave
Thanks for everything that you did
The sacrifice that you made
I can never repay
But memories of you
Are abound and forever
The time has come for me to leave
I have done my best in my life
may i met Him with peace
love,
amalina munira bt yusof
*****mak&ayah
thanks for every single things that you did
you'll never be replace, love you

17th-bosNia HerZegOviNa- Umi
Presenter: UMI KHAIRANI ABU KASIM
Bosnia.. when madam said that umi is going to present about this country, automatically I remember one of my classmate in my halaqah group. She is from Bosnia and she told the class what she experience in her country during the Bosnian War( 1992-1995). At that time, she was only 6 years old. She told us that they (the Bosnian) live in the small room with 30-40 people for 2-3 years just for save their life. They were suffered during that time. Many people were killed, blood are everywhere, bombing and…( she cried before end the story and I have no idea what happened after that).
Emmm.. let we go through about Bosnia. Sarajevo is the capital city where the major religion there is Islam. They use Bosnian, Serbian and Crotian as the official language. Bosnia has gone through “the bloody history” started with the fell of Ottoman Empire in 1683 followed by cleaning the nation from Turks on 1807. 1912-1914 was the period of Balkan Wars and less that 30 years after the tragic war, the Bosnian was faced with another war; cleansed of all non-Serbian elements. This war was not only to killed the Bosnian but to ‘abolished’ the ethnic from the world!! Again, the Bosnian was faced with another war in 1992-1995, the Bosnian War. Same as other country that we have discuss before, it is all about POWER. The law of jungle- the strongest and the richest will always be at the top and conquer the world.
Umi…hemmmm.. What can I comment on her presentation. The good part of her presentation is she began her presentation with a good introduction. She also has good voice projection and flow. When she talked about how the Serbs treat the Bosnian, I felt so lucky being a Malaysian. She really felt what she presented and has the passion on the topic. Congratulation!! But there is something that she can improve on. In the middle of the presentation, she just read from the slide and looked nervous. And one thing that is really obvious is she didn’t show us the FLAG!! Maybe she forgot to include it in her slide..overall, well done. 4 stars for UMI KHAIRANI..

martin lurter -landmark speech-
Background martin
Martin Luther King, Jr., a Baptist minister, was a driving force in the push for racial equality in the 1950's and the 1960's. In 1963, King and his staff focused on Birmingham, Alabama. They marched and protested non-violently, raising the ire of local officials who sicced water cannon and police dogs on the marchers, whose ranks included teenagers and children. The bad publicity and break-down of business forced the white leaders of Birmingham to concede to some anti-segregation demands.
Thrust into the national spotlight in Birmingham, where he was arrested and jailed, King organized a massive march on Washington, DC, on August 28, 1963. On the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, he evoked the name of Lincoln in his "I Have a Dream" speech, which is credited with mobilizing supporters of desegregation and prompted the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The next year, King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
Background of the speech.
The main idea in the speech is talking about the white and black discrimination between them and also about the conflict happens towards the black skin in America. It talks about the discrimination to the black skin in terms of their rights and freedom. In that speech also suppress about the process of gaining their rightful place that they must not be guilty of doing wrongful deeds. I have a dream today.
This is his speech. I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
This is our hope. This is the faith that I go back to the South with. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
Style of the speech
The speech is more to persuasive message he sent to their people… he ask his people to protest about their right….

He is the most successful and scariest Navy Fleet Admiral during his time. Moreover, the Westerners are using his name and story to scare their children to make them obey the parents. Barbarossa is a bright and intelligence young person that like make jokes and friendly to his friends. During his youth, he speech style was excellent.

After their defeat in Lepanto, the Ottoman Turks quickly rebuilt their fleet, regained Cyprus and other lost territories in Morea and Dalmatia from the Republic of Venice between 1571 and 1572, and conquered Tunisia from Spain in 1574.
Furthermore, the Turks ventured into the northern Atlantic Ocean between 1585 and 1660, and continued to be a major Mediterranean sea power for three more centuries, until the reign of Sultan Abdülaziz, when the Ottoman fleet, which had 21 battleships and 173 other types of warships, ranked as the third largest naval force in the world after the British and French navies (see the main article History of the Turkish Navy).

REPORT ON LANDMARK SPEECH- JFK
John F. Kennedy’s Inaugural speech
Speech Style
When look at JFK inaugural speech, in my opinion, his speech is different from other speech because it has some elements that make it special. Firstly is in terms of language. The language that had been use in the speech is simple and easy to understand. Thus, it is easy for the audiences to absorb the speech. The word that been used can touch the audience’s feeling. For example, ‘ask not what your country can do for you- -ask what you can do for your country’. This memorable injunction is meaningful and still use until now. Secondly is in terms of the content. The content of the JFK inaugural speech is very different from other US Presidents. It is more toward the peace of the world and poverty. It is not about power and oppresses where the rich become richer and the poor become poorer.
Opinion on the background of the speech
According to Macmillan Dictionary, inaugural speech is one made by someone to celebrate the start of an important new job. John F Kennedy delivered this speech when he appointed as the 35th US President on Friday, January 20, 1961. This speech is about what he going to do while in his office. For example, his wanted to against the poverty and war.
Opinion on the personality
In my opinion, (based on his speech) he is a motivated and ambitious man. He is not an ordinary man. In his inaugural speech, he spoke of the need of the Americans to be active citizen. He called the American to fight against poverty, disease and war which are the enemies of man. He is the youngest US President and the only president that won Pulitzer Prize through his book, ‘Profiles in Courage’ in 1955. American regularly votes him as one of the best president.
Besides, he was also a strong and patient. Even he faced with many personal tragedies, such as his wife died in his office; he still managed himself and his work well.

What Makes a Good Blog Design?
Article by Vandelay Website Design. (7th October 2007)
As you surf through the internet you’re bound to come across certain designs that you love and some that you hate. But good blog design has a few unique elements when compared to the design of a traditional website. Here are ten things to keep in mind when designing your blog.
1. Content Should be the Focus.
A blog is nothing without its content. In order to keep your visitors focused on the content, it should be the focal point of the design. Distracting readers with excessive images and extra items can be counterproductive. For this reason, many of the best blog designs are fairly simple. Simplicity is common for blogs that want to emphasize the content.
2. Ease of Navigation.
Readers will come to your blog through search engines, links from other blogs, RSS feeds, social media sites, etc. Only a small percentage of your readers will enter your blog through the front page. This makes navigation even more important. The sidebar typically will include the majority of the navigation with links to categories, recent posts, and sometimes popular posts. Footers are sometimes also used for additional navigation.
3. Loads Quickly
Many of your visitors will have a very short attention span (this is really no different for blogs than traditional websites). In order to immediately catch their attention and avoid having them click off of your site, your pages should load quickly. This is especially important you plan to use social media to generate traffic. Some blogs are weighed down by excessive widgets that really hurt the page load speed. By keeping your blog clean and free of unnecessary items you can really cut down on the time it takes to load.
4. Content Start High on the Page.
This one is more of a personal opinion than a fact, but I believe that more of your visitors will pay attention to your articles if they start higher on the page. Make it as easy as you can for readers to get started with your posts, and then they’ll be more prone to scroll down for the rest. Again, this is especially important for traffic from social media sites. Those visitors will be less likely to scroll and more likely to click off of your blog.
5. Memorable for Visitors.
Most blog readers visit a number of blogs each day, and many of them will feature the same (free) themes. Make it easy for your visitors to remember your blog and standout from all of the free themes by customizing a theme yourself, or by having a blog theme professionally designed.
6. Not Overrun with Ads.
For most blogs making money with advertisements is a necessity. However, even in these cases it’s important to use advertisements effectively by not allowing them to take over the blog. Your readers will feel like they are not a priority to you if advertisements take center stage.
7. Compatibility with Multiple Browsers.
Your visitors will be using a number of different browsers, and if your blog is not functioning well in all of them you could be losing readers. Fortunately, 90% of your visitors will probably be using the leading 3 or 4 browsers. In order to know that you blog is functioning well you’ll need to test it in multiple browsers.
8. Good Use of Color.
The best designs effectively use color to improve the appearance. This can be done any number of ways, and sometimes it’s even a subtle aspect of design. The color combinations don’t have to jump out at readers, in fact, they actually need to make it easy for visitors to read the blog posts. If you’re looking for a good color combination, be sure to check out the resources listed in Find the Perfect Colors for Your Website.
9. Easy to Read.
This is really more about formatting the content of the blog than it is about a theme design. Keep in mind that most readers will be scanning your posts rather than reading them word-for-word. Use headlines, white space, lists, and bold text to make it easy for readers.
10. Important Items Should Be in Prominent Positions.
Effective design will draw the attention of readers to important items, such as subscription information. The most important links, images, etc. should generally go above the fold so that visitors will see them right away. Getting rid of unnecessary items will also help readers to focus on what’s important.

The 90/10 Principle
Discover the 90/10 Principle.
It will change your life (at least the way you react to situations).
What is this principle? 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react.
What does this mean? We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us.
We cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic.
We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%.
How? ……….By your reaction.
You cannot control a red light. but you can control your reaction. Don't let people fool you; YOU can control how you react.
Let's use an example.
You are eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You have no control over what just happened.
What happens next will be determined by how you react.
You curse.
You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cup over. She breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize her for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt. Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus.
Your spouse must leave immediately for work. You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school. Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speed limit.
After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 traffic fine away, you arrive at school. Your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye. After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started terrible. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to coming home.
When you arrive home, you find small wedge in your relationship with your spouse and daughter.
Why? …. Because of how you reacted in the morning.
Why did you have a bad day?
A) Did the coffee cause it?
B) Did your daughter cause it?
C) Did the policeman cause it?
D) Did you cause it?
The answer is "D".
You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day.
Here is what could have and should have happened.
Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say, "Its ok honey, you just need to be more careful next time". Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you come back down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good the day you are having.
Notice the difference?
Two different scenarios. Both started the same. Both ended different.
Why?
Because of how you REACTED.
You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens. The other 90% was determined by your reaction.
Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 principle. If someone says something negative about you, don't be a sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on glass. You don't have to let the negative comment affect you!
React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, getting stressed out etc.
How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do you lose your temper? Pound on the steering wheel? A friend of mine had the steering wheel fall off) Do you curse? Does your blood pressure skyrocket? Do you try and bump them?
WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work? Why let the cars ruin your drive?
Remember the 90/10 principle, and do not worry about it.
You are told you lost your job.
Why lose sleep and get irritated? It will work out. Use your worrying energy and time into finding another job.
The plane is late; it is going to mangle your schedule for the day. Why take outpour frustration on the flight attendant? She has no control over what is going on.
Use your time to study, get to know the other passenger. Why get stressed out? It will just make things worse.
Now you know the 90-10 principle. Apply it and you will be amazed at the results. You will lose nothing if you try it. The 90-10 principle is incredible. Very few know and apply this principle.
The result?
Millions of people are suffering from undeserved stress, trials, problems and heartache. We all must understand and apply the 90/10 principle.
It CAN change your life!!!
Enjoy….

SALUTE...!!! Hugo Chavez
Well this post actually for give comments on Hugo Chavez speech delivered by Dexter..
Hmm, let's see... for Hugo's group we would like to say
- Good job
- Ok lah
- Welldone
Personally my comment on Hugo is :
I salute him for his bravery on calling George W. Bush as EL-DIABLO, which means The Devil, Why? because if you notice where the speech being delivered its in UN meeting... wow, i mean WOW.. come on! how many person in this world that directly oppose BUSH in terms of his goverment and leadership skills especially when you are the President for one country also... Hmm if you not belive me better watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPQO7-LE0Gs&feature=related
- I also like him because he oppose the attack on my fellow Muslim country (Iraq).. Hugo called address BUSH as Mr. Danger who act cowardly and think like a donkey... Well, well... SALUTE! why? because he oppose US attack on Iraq when the other Muslim country not even make a sound or worry about it... Here you better watch it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI0_VzFxTzs
- However, still no one is perfect... Unfortunatelly, sometimes Hugo are too direct and too many repetition while the point is clear enough for the audience, so its sound for me like not professionally handle his position as President of Venezuela. It is good to oppose evil, it is good to oppose criminals, but it is even better when you can do it with ethical and professionality. Why? because personally i will say YES Bush is wrong, but guess what if the President of US its some one else, well i guess the situation will not much be different, because even Bush is control with other person/ group of authority that play their role behind the screen, so as a result we can only blame Bush, yes He is ignorance but to be fair we have to blame the institution behind that also.. well if we talking about conspiracy theory its gonna be looooooooooonnnnnng stroy, so that's all from me...

13th-TurKeY- WahiDah
TuRkEy
Last Monday, when I enter the class I was so surprised. Not even half of the class attended; maybe the rest of the class didn’t return from kampong yet …anyway how about your holiday?? huhu..
Let us move on to the discussion. One of my teammate for this blog, Sis Wahidah presented about Republic of Turkey, the other Muslim country that I quite familiar with. Hatice, our classmate is from Turkey, so she had added some point that relevant to the presentation.
Ankara is the capital city in Turkey and the largest city is Istanbul. 99.8% of the citizen is Muslim and Turkish is the main ethnic group there. Turkey was independence on May 19, 1919, which is almost 90 years. As other Muslim country that had been presented in the class, turkey also faced many conflicts. Muslim there has to fight to practice Islam even 99.8% are Muslim. Maybe it is because the existence of 2 different classes; Muslim and secular elite. For example, student in government school and universities are forbid to wear scaft. Hatice said that President is only just for symbol and PM is more powerful than President.
So….what are the good things in her presentation? Heeeeemmmm, I think…
good introduction
provide detail information
voice
look confident
What she can improve is don’t put too many point in the slide. When there are too many points in the slide, she just read it and definitely will affect her eye contact and make her talk too fast (and affect her pronunciation). So, moral of the story: don’t put too many point in the slide..huhuhuu

12th-BanGLadesh- NisRin NiLa
B-A-N-G-L-A-D-E-S-H
Let we discuss about the last presentation which was about Bangladesh presented by Sis Nisrin from Thailand.it was the 12th presentation, means there are 6 person who are still in waiting list..huhuhuh.
bangladesh..bangladesh..emm. Automatically I think about an article that i read regarding political issue.the author mentioned that bangladesh is the third country in the ranking list which have many corruption.but in term of islamic country, it is in the top ranking compared to other islamic country..
Regarding her presentation, I think it is just the same as other presenter. Eye contact and not confident are the normal things that will happen when someone present in front of audiences. Quote for today: ' the worst is not really that bad' (as madam said in the class because she look not really confident with what she presented).She just read from the slide, but madam said ‘slide supposed to help the audience, not the presenter’ (another quote for today..huhuuhu).can I add some more??i think there were too many note in the slide. She should put the key point and explain it in detail.what are the good thing in her presentation?? Well prepared..ya..she looked well prepared. The content was also good. She just gave the general information about the country, not that detail like some presenters before.so, she manage to finished on time.Well done…
to be continue......

11th-SoMaLia- JanNaH
Jay was the 11th presenter and she presented about the other country that I don’t really familiar with-Somalia-the other Islamic country that 99% of the residents are Muslim. الصومال is the Arabic term for Somalia. Somalia has a simple flag-just blue and white star in the middle. However, I’m really sure that it has significance meaning. She started with the introduction about the country, the historical background conflicts and opinion about the country. The capital city is Mogadishu and they used TFG or Transitional Federal Government to govern the country. Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed is the President and the Prime Minister is Nur Hassan Hussien. Somali are divided into 6 major clans.1960 was the most significance year for people there because it was the year when Somalia became independent. As other country discussed before, Somalia also faced with many conflicts. The Somali civil war (1993), clan warfare (1993-Present) and the Ethiopia- Somalia war (2006-Present) were some conflicts there. Conflict happen anywhere, anytime. There is no challenge without conflict.
+ve comments on her presentation:
Ø Detail information
Ø Have the flow
Ø Give opinion- what I realize that most of the presenter didn’t include in their presentation
What she( me too)can improve more:
Ø Eye contact- most of the presenter have this problem (me too)
Ø Look nervous and didn’t confident with what she said
Ø non-word
Overall, her presentation was good. But I think she can do better if she present on the next class (she supposed to present on the next class).well done, Jay...

10th-ThaiLaNd- NAdia
Now we move on to the 10th presentation, which is about the other nearest country, Thailand. But we focus on the southern Thailand. The luckiest person is…Miss Nadia @ yaya.
The capital city for Thailand is Bangkok and the full name for Thailand is Kingdom of Thailand. Only 5.5% Muslim in Thailand and most of them are Malay ethnic origin. The great majority of Muslims live in the four provinces of Satun, Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat.According to her, the army is more powerful that the government and the Muslim are being discriminate. …………………………….
What are good about her presentation:
Ø She has good command of language :English and some Thailand word
Ø Good introduction- put Thailand song
Ø Look confident
Ø Easy to understand- have the flow and I felt that I’m attending story telling class
Ø Good time management
Ø Eye contact

9th-IndoNesiA- TasNim
The 9th presentation was about the nearest country, Indonesia presented by Miss Tasnim.it is located at the southern Asia, between the India Ocean and pacific ocean. Majority of the residents are Muslim followed by Roman Catholic and Hindu. The main religion is Muslim. There are many ethnic groups there such as Javanese, Sudanese, Madurese, Minangkabau, Betawi, and Bugis. Sukarno, Suharto, Jusuh Habibi, Abdul Rahman, Megawati and Susilo Bambang are the previous president of the country. Madam said that Indonesian are artistic and intelligent.. but for me, most of them are good looking…huhuhuhuhu..indonesia face with so many conflicts and the most memorable conflict were Tsunami in acheh and Bali Bombing.
What are good about her presentation:
Ø She has good command of ENGLISH,
Ø Blank slide technique (the audiences have to focus more on what she said).
What she can improve more:
Ø Eye contact- she just look at one person, if I’m not mistaken, she only looked at lutfi.maybe because she presented about lutfi’s country.
Ø Non-word such as ‘like’ and ‘aaaaa’
Ø When answer the question, she just looked at the one who ask, not the whole class
Ø Look like she didn’t prepared. am I right??
Ø Even she has a good command of ENGLISH, but not in other language such as Malay and some Indonesia word. it is distraction for the audience

8th-Rwanda-QiS
Rwanda is located in the east central of Asia and the capital city is Kigali. There are so many ethnic groups but two major ethnic in this country is Hutu and Tutsi, which is always in conflict and fight each other. This is the main conflict in Rwanda and it leads to many problems such as social problem. This conflict have been and still going on for years. As for me, it is all about power and power. It was independence on July 1, 1962 and use Republic type of government. There are only 4.6% Muslim in this country where the majority religious practice is Roman Catholic. The Muslim there is only the travellers, not the origin people of that place. It has many natural resources such as gold, tea, coffee and banana, which is mainly control by the Hutu.
How about Miss Qis presentation? As for me…
What are good about her presentation:
Ø Good introduction
Ø Have good command of language + talent
Ø Admit her mistake when madam said about the lack of information
What she can improve more:
Ø Too many point in the slide
Ø Look nervous
Ø Too rush
Anyway, well done and thanks for inform me about Rwanda. Your presentation helps me a lot..
