Make your way to the district of Kuala Penyu and hop on a boat to Pulau Tiga! The island’s claim to fame is none other than being the first ever ‘secret’ location for the hit reality series, ‘Survivor’.  Beside, many refer to Pulau Tiga as Survivor Island.  Located just 10km off shore on the West Coast of Sabah, you can enjoy a day trip to the island but many recommend spending at least a night or two. The island has two resorts namely Pulau Tiga Resort and Borneo Survivor Resort (see contact details). There’s plenty to see and do here and spend the sunny days swimming or snorkeling in its surrounding clear waters or go kayaking. Divers can explore its underwater treasures (diving courses are available). Pulau Tiga is also famous for its therapeutic natural volcanic mud. Looking for some wildlife?

TASK 7 – BLOG: Discuss on one of these issue – violence, racism & corruption. How bad will it affect our country? What will you suggest to overcome this issue?

Racism is generally understood as either belief that different racial groups are characterized by intrinsic characteristics or abilities and that some such groups are therefore naturally superior to others or as practices that discriminate against members of particular racial groups, for example by perpetuating unequal access to resources between groups. "Racism" and "racial discrimination" are often used to describe discrimination on an ethnic or cultural basis, independent of whether these differences are described as racial. According to the United Nations conventions, there is no distinction between the terms racial discrimination and ethnicity discrimination. Racism can affect our country so bad like the tragedy of 13th May where incidents of violent happen between Malay ethnic and Chinese community. It has said that Chinese have been ripping off the wealth of the country and the Malay ethnicity only been working in the villages doing rural work. So to prevent the event 13 may not happen again, I suggest that we need tolerance in order to everyone sees what is the best for this country. We must respect and understand about other race. Make friend from other race because we not different with people from other race.  Also don’t shy and arrogant to learn cultures from other race.

TASK 6 – BLOG: Do you think we have been living in unity as 1 Malaysia? Express your opinions with specific example.

No, because in my opinions we are not really living in unity as 1 Malaysia. I believe that there is in Malaysia but not everyone general practice in they routine life. We do not unite and work together as a Malaysia. I think that to live in unity as one Malaysia, we must remain united and jointly develop our country. To live unity as 1 Malaysia, it only can achieve with time, time will make we see about what we common and what make we different. Then we will understand and make we stronger and we will unite. Standing together with one voice over certain issues can be defined as unity.  It is a very important element in ensuring harmonious relationship among each other.  All in all, how good and pleasant it is when we, Malaysian, live together in unity.

TASK 5 – BLOG: Do you really want to succeed and achieve your goal(s) in your life? What is/are your goal (s) in life and how are you going to achieve them? Have you done half way so far? Share your dream!

Yes, I want to success in my life and achieve my goal in my life. My goal is I want to success in complete the study within the field of medical laboratory technology diploma with my family proud result. After that, I would like to continue my studies to degree level. To achieve my ambition, I will always strive to succeed. I will study hard to improve my weaknesses. I will also receive all the advice given by my lecturers and use it in my daily life. so far I am still struggling and trying to achieve my ambition. For that I will continue my studies in the field of medical laboratory technology.
