Kaget juga baca berita di detik.com, ada aja anak indonesia yg bisa kyk gini ya.

Bocah WNI Umur 9 Tahun Raih Bangku Universitas di Hong Kong
Arfi Bambani Amri - detikcom

Hong Kong - Satu lagi prestasi diukir anak bangsa Indonesia. Seorang bocah WNI berumur 9 tahun berhasil melalui tes akademik setara umur 18 tahun. Hasilnya cukup untuk berkuliah di Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU). Wow!

Seperti dikutip dari kantor berita AFP, Jumat (24/8/2007), bocah bernama March Boedihardjo itu berhasil mendapatkan dua nilai A dan satu nilai B di ujian yang biasa dilakukan untuk usia 18 tahun.

Ujian itu diambil March setelah mengalami kesulitan berkomunikasi secara akademik dengan rekan-rekan sebayanya.

"Kebanyakan waktu, saya suka membaca buku. Namun di akhir pekan, saya senang bermain dengan teman-teman. Kami dapat bermain bersama namun secara akademik, kami tak bisa berkomunikasi," kata March yang bisa berbahasa Kanton dan Inggris itu.

Namun upaya March untuk langsung berkuliah sebelumnya telah ditolak beberapa universitas lain. Baru Kamis lalu itulah HKBU yang menyediakan tempat untuknya. Mengapa tidak berkuliah ke Inggris saja?

"Karena ayah saya tidak memiliki cukup uang," kata March.

HKBU telah mengatur kuliah khusus selama 5 tahun untuk March, yang akan berlanjut ke S2. Ayah March, Tony Boedihardjo, bilang universitas itu telah meyakinkannya bahwa kebutuhan March bisa terpenuhi.

"Saya diyakinkan bahwa HKBU memiliki reputasi akademik yang luar biasa, yang akan menolong March mengembangkan bakatnya secara sempurna," kata Tony.

Better dads, better lads

Article from:

BOYS would behave better if fathers played a more active role in their sons' lives, a Melbourne expert has found.

 

Adolescent education expert Bill Jennings said the growing epidemic of "fatherlessness" – where dads were increasingly absent either physically or emotionally – had led to negative patterns in young men, such as suicide, violence and drug abuse.

 

Mr Jennings studied 434 male students across two Victorian schools in year 10 and again in year 11.

 

His interim findings showed boys' self-confidence was raised when their dads showed interest and were involved in their lives.

 

With self-confidence came long-term success, Mr Jennings said.

 

"Boys are more likely to prosper if they have a male role model in their corner, and ideally that's their dad," Mr Jennings said.

 

"Where a father is unable to take part for whatever reason, an appropriate male role model such as an uncle or even an older brother could step in."

 

Fathers had increasingly been absent in their children's lives because of divorce, long working hours or communication breakdown, he said.

 

Mr Jennings runs programs across Australia teaching boys and their fathers how to successfully navigate the rites of passage to becoming a man.

 

Former football player and coach Stan Alves, whose teenage son Matthew was killed when hit by a train in July 1989, often participates in the program and shares his personal experiences with the group.

 

Watsonia father Rick Chapman, who completed Mr Jennings' program with his sons Ross, 19, and Dean, 16, when they were each in year 10 at Parade College, said he made it a priority to be an involved dad.

 

Mr Chapman said he refereed football matches, watched concerts and ferried his sons to and from training and matches.

 

It was also important for Mr Chapman and his wife, Lynne, to go on a family holiday together every year.

 

"Getting away together gives us time to relax and spend quality time with one another," Mr Chapman said.

 

"You'll always be their old man but it's good to also try and be their mate."

(Egypt Today) Egypt's Grand Mufti Sheikh Ali Gomaa


"The harmful tradition of circumcision that is practiced in Egypt in our era is forbidden, Egypt's Grand Mufti Ali Gomaa said.


CAIRO — The Egyptian government outlawed on Thursday, June 28, all female circumcision, a few days after the widely-spread practice of removing the clitoris claimed the life of a 12-year-old girl.

"Female circumcision is banned by law and by all medical regulations," the Health Minister Hatem al-Gabali said in a statement cited by Reuters.

He asserted that "every doctor and member of the medical profession, in public or private establishments, is banned from performing the procedure."

Outlawing the practice entirely, the authorities closed a 10-year legal loophole allowing girls to undergo the procedure "in situations of illness" should doctors so advise.

Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), often referred to as female circumcision, has been banned in Egypt since 1996, although it remains widespread.

This came a few days after Budour Ahmed Shaker, an 12-year-old girl, died while undergoing the procedure at a private clinic in the southern governorate of Minya.

Her mother accused the woman doctor of negligence, arguing her daughter's death was linked to the anaesthetic and not the procedure itself, for which she had paid 50 pounds (nearly nine dollars).

A 2005 UNICEF report found 97 percent of Egyptian women between ages 15 and 49 had been circumcised.

Most circumcisions in Egypt are performed by barbers or midwives.
Awareness Campaign

The Islamic Research Academy of Al-Azhar, the highest seat of religious learning in the Sunni world, called Thursday for an awareness campaign in the media against the un-Islamic practice.

Grand Mufti Ali Gomaa stressed earlier this week that Islam prohibits the circumcision of girls.


"The harmful tradition of circumcision that is practiced in Egypt in our era is forbidden."

Muslim scholars for decades have emphasized that there is nothing either in the Qur'an or the Sunnah, to suggest that FGM is a prescribed ritual of initiation for women in Islam.

They assert that it was not stated anywhere that Prophet Mohammed (peace and blessings be upon him) has ordered any woman to undergo this practice.

Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Sheikh Mohammad Sayyed Tantawi and Pope Shenouda, the spiritual leader of Egypt's Christians, have said that neither the Qur'an nor the Bible mention female circumcision.

With age-old cultural roots, FGM is common in Egypt and is practiced by both Muslims and Christians.

In many Islamic countries, across the Middle East, North Africa and Southeast Asia, FGM is nearly nonexistent.
