Saya Anak Malaysia

 

( 1 )

1953

Bulan 5 aku dilahirkan

Di sebuah negeri yang diberi nama

NEGERI SEMBILAN

( 2 )

Selepas itu aku dibesarkan

Di NEGERI KELANTAN

Aku belajar di sekolah orang putih

Dekat dengan Pasir Puteh

Saya Anak Malaysia ( 4X )

( 3 )

Lepas sekolah aku merayau

Negeri mat saleh aku merantau

Tempat orang indah sekali

Tapi MALAYSIA dekat di hati

Saya Anak Malaysia ( 4X )

Sampai masa aku pun balik

Tapi makweku nampak pelik

Dia kata nak jadi apa

Aku kata itu Tuhan punya kuasa

Saya Anak Malaysia ( 4X )

( 4 )

Lemah lembut sopan santun

Sudah menjadi darah dagingku

Walaupun aku nampaknya kutu

Aku hormat orang tuaku

Saya Anak Malaysia ( 4X )

Preserving our nation’s past, one piece at a time

Preserving our nation’s past, one piece at a time
The Star – 5 Aug 2025

ANM's work includes restoration services to ensure fragile documents and old photos endure for generations to come. 

WHAT if some of Malaysia’s most significant historical treasures are not stored in a national vault, but lie forgotten in private homes or old photo albums? This is the primary motivation behind the National Archives of Malaysia’s (ANM) new Community Archives programme.

The initiative encourages ­citizens and communities to actively participate in preserving the nation’s history by ­contributing significant materials to the agency, which is responsible for managing Malaysia’s heritage documents and records.

The programme was launched in Klang in partnership with the Klang Royal City Council (MBDK), serving as a clarion call for the public to enrich the national archives with their unique historical collections. The ANM team was present to provide basic restoration s­­ervices for cherished paper-based items such as certificates. They also demonstrated how proper care and digitisation can ensure the historical pieces endure for generations to come.

“This Community Archives programme will be expanded by ANM across the country to reach out to individuals, families, prominent figures, organisations and communities that possess historically valuable collections,” said National Unity Minister Datuk Aaron Ago Dagang in his speech during the launch.

“The public is encouraged to contribute their personal collections to ANM to help complete the existing archive and fill gaps in historical information.”

Aaron also unveiled ANM’s Community Archives Kit during the launch in May at Galeri Warisan at MBDK branch office in Jalan Tengku Kelana, Klang.

Source: LinkedIn Learn with a Librarian

Library Science in 2025 is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by emerging technologies, evolving community needs, and a renewed focus on sustainability and inclusivity. Here's a comprehensive look at the trends, innovations, and challenges shaping the field:

Innovations in Library Science (2025)

Libraries are now dynamic hubs for learning, creativity, and digital engagement. Key innovations include:

Technological Advancements

Artificial Intelligence (AI): Personalized learning, smart cataloging, and predictive analytics for user needs.

Augmented & Virtual Reality (AR/VR): Immersive educational environments and virtual exhibitions.

Blockchain: Secure digital rights management and transparent transactions.

Internet of Things (IoT): Smart resource management and real-time data tracking.

Robotics & Automation: Self-service kiosks, automated book sorting, and inventory control.

Open-Source Software: Cost-effective, customizable library management systems.

Fresh Graduates and Challenges

Challenges Faced by Fresh Graduates—especially in Malaysia and globally—are increasingly complex due to evolving job markets, technological disruption, and shifting employer expectations. Here's a comprehensive look at the key hurdles:

Top Challenges for Graduates

Challenge	Description
1. Limited Entry-Level Jobs	Many companies reduce roles for fresh grads, leading to intense competition.
2. Experience Paradox	Jobs require experience, but grads need jobs to gain experience—a classic catch-22.
3. Skills Mismatch	Graduates often lack industry-relevant skills, especially in tech and AI-driven sectors.
4. High Competition	Popular industries like finance, tech, and media attract many applicants, making it harder to stand out.
5. Unrealistic Expectations	Many expect instant success or dream jobs, but reality demands persistence and adaptability.
6. Poor Financial Literacy	Graduates often struggle with budgeting, saving, and managing income post-graduation.
7. Weak Networking Skills	Building professional connections is crucial but challenging for introverts or those unfamiliar with industry norms.
8. Overreliance on Degrees	Employers prioritize practical skills and problem-solving over academic credentials alone.
9. Narrow Job Focus	Sticking strictly to one’s field of study can limit opportunities in a fast-evolving job market.
10. Lack of Digital Presence	Not leveraging platforms like LinkedIn can reduce visibility to recruiters and employers.

How to Overcome These Challenges

• Upskill continuously: Take short courses in high-demand areas like data analytics, AI, or digital marketing.
• Gain experience: Internships, freelance gigs, and volunteering help build your portfolio.
• Network smartly: Attend job fairs, join industry groups, and connect with mentors.
• Customize applications: Tailor your resume and cover letter for each job using relevant keywords.
• Stay adaptable: Be open to roles outside your major or comfort zone.
• Build a strong online presence: Create a professional online profile and showcase your skills and experience
• Manage Finances: Develop a budget and explore options for managing loan debt
• Seek Support: Connect with your career service at your university or utilize online resources for job search advice.

MELAKAR SEMULA PEMBANGUNAN

Kiosk Buku SRAI Seksyen 7

Pagi ini hadher ke Sesi Bicara Akademik di SRAI Seksyen 7, Shah Alam untuk anak yang darjah enam ini. Sebelum sesi bermula, saya sempat meninjau dua buah kiosk buku yang terdapat di dalam kawasan sekolah. Pihak sekolah juga mengadakan sesi jualan buku sebagai aktiviti sampingan dalam galakan membaca.

Usaha mewujudkan kiosk buku ini merupakan usaha yang berterusan yang dilaksanakan secara strategik termasuk pihak sekolah bagi memupuk budaya membaca dalam kalangan pelajar serta memperkukuh amalan membaca sejak usia muda.

Ikhtiar ini selaras dengan matlamat negara untuk melahirkan masyarakat berpengetahuan, berdaya saing dan berbudaya ilmu dalam era digital dan globalisasi.

Perpustakaan Terawal Muzium Perak Tahun 1886

KOLEKSI KATALOG

PERPUSTAKAAN TERAWAL MUZIUM PERAK TAHUN 1886

Catalogue of the Library of the Perak Government Museum, Thaipeng yang diterbitkan pada tahun 1886 oleh Singapore and Straits Printing Office merupakan bukti awal usaha sistematik dalam pengumpulan dan pengurusan maklumat oleh institusi awam di Tanah Melayu. Katalog ini disusun hasil inisiatif kurator pertama Muzium Perak, Leonard Wray Jr., yang turut memainkan peranan penting dalam membentuk hala tuju intelektual permuziuman pada masa itu.

Dalam mukadimahnya, Leonard Wray Jr. menyatakan hasrat kerajaan Negeri Perak untuk menubuhkan sebuah perpustakaan yang menghimpunkan karya rujukan serta pelbagai jenis literatur berkaitan Semenanjung Tanah Melayu dan Kepulauan Melayu. Beliau turut mengajak para pegawai kerajaan dan orang awam agar menyumbangkan bahan bacaan seperti buku, risalah, kertas kerja, manuskrip dan dokumen tempatan bagi memperkayakan koleksi perpustakaan tersebut.

Katalog ini disusun secara alfabetikal mengikut nama pengarang dan merangkumi maklumat bibliografi penting seperti tajuk, bilangan jilid, tempat dan tahun terbitan, serta status perolehan. Beberapa koleksi yang ditandakan dengan (*) dikenal pasti sebagai milik peribadi Mr. Noel Denison, Superintendent of Lower Perak,yang telah dibeli untuk melengkapkan koleksi perpustakaan. Meskipun tidak menggunakan sistem klasifikasi moden seperti Dewey atau Library of Congress, struktur bibliografi katalog ini menunjukkan pendekatan sistematik yang kemas. Amalan seperti penunjuk silang (contohnya, see Thomson, J.T.) telahpun diterapkan dan dokumentasi yang tersusun.

Katalog ini membuktikan kewujudan sistem maklumat teratur dalam institusi awam, khususnya di Muzium Perak. Mencerminkan pendekatan awal dalam pengurusan perpustakaan serta menyokong peranan muzium sebagai pusat pengetahuan dan rujukan. Katalog ini juga boleh dianggap sebagai asas kepada bibliografi dan koleksi nasional dalam pembangunan institusi perpustakaan di Malaysia. Selain berfungsi menyimpan dan mempamerkan artifak, muzium juga turut berperanan sebagai pusat rujukan penting, khususnya bagi pegawai kolonial, naturalis dan penyelidik. Ini menunjukkan peranan strategik muzium dalam penyebaran ilmu sejak awal penubuhannya.
