Assalamualaikum and Hello everyone!
After
I complete three entries for this blog, now I write my fourth entry for
completing the topic given. Topic for my fourth entry is related to the
politic. I am not so eager with this topic because I’m not interested in
politic field. I also do not have any good knowledge and experiences in the
political field. However, I need to understand what is the topic all about and
find information from the article. As for me, I agree with the article and what
is written by the writer, Syed Umar Ariff.
The article titled Nik Aziz and Hadi’s lack of
empathy. The article is informing us the true nature or behavior of the PAS
leaders, Nik Aziz and Hadi about the BR1M. The writer have stated in the
article the harsh words used by the leaders of PAS. For me, leaders should not
have that kind of attitude because leaders are being a role model to others.
The writer said that Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz and Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi are lack of
empathy. Empathy can be defines as the ability to understand or feel
another person’s feeling as if they were your own or empathy is the experience of understanding another person's
condition from their perspective. From the article, it shows leaders lack of
empathy on the issue of BR1M. the emphatic skills in leadership is important. In recently published book, Wired to Care, innovation strategist
Dev Patnaik explains that “without personal connection to the people they
serve, companies lack the context, immediacy or experience they need to make
good decisions. Without that empathy, organizations can start to lose their way
a little bit at a time.” It means that, they need to know how to interact and
understand others feeling too if not they might be comes out with nonsense
statement. Like in the article which stated by the writer that the leader
labeled the recipients of BR1M as the stupid people. The word hurt a lot of
people. Leaders should not said such things because it just shown a bad
attitudes as a respectful person in the country and political field.
Besides, PAS spiritual leader, Datuk Nik
Abdul Aziz Nik Mat had been drawing flak from the people for likening
BR1Mrecipients to farm animals; chickens, cows being fed desiccated coconut and
hay respectively. They need to use
our reasoning ability to understand another person's thoughts, feelings,
reactions, concerns, motives. This means they must truly making an effort to
stop and think for a moment about the other person's perspective in order to
begin to understand where they are coming from. Don’t simply said what they
want to said. They must to remember their position and care about their supporters
too. Being a leader means they are being a role model to others, so showing an
excellent manners while making decision
or saying something on the issue discussed. Both of them, Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz
and Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi should know that what they have done is wrong and
they cannot use offensive words in media or to public. They need to consider
and care others feelings and perspective too. The BR1M actually helping the one
who is in needed and who is not live in a lot of wealth. Many words used by
them are offensive and they also saying bad things about Malaysian. That is not
example of a good leader. Hence, from all of the statement and what is saying
by me is not to make anyone angry or offended. It is just my opinion and from
what I am understands. I ask for
forgiveness to all of you if there is something wrong with my statement and my
entry this time. Nevertheless, the empathy is important in leadership or also
important for us. We should understand others feeling too not just thinking of
ourselves. People have different perspective and thoughts, so let’s respect
their perspective and thoughts.
That’s all from me.
Thank you. :)
