To be involved in a field that is less popular or
interest by most people is not an unwise decision because if you really
confident and interested that certain kind of career, you will surely succeed
in the end.
Member of Parliament for Santubong Datuk Haji Wan Junaidi
Tuanku Jaafar said the most important thing is that you know that you are good
in that line of work plus your determination and dedication while carrying out your
duty.
“People nowadays should brush-off the old type of
mentality and mind-set that their children will follow their footstep in
choosing their career and if they are accountants, their children must be in
the accounting field, if they are doctors, their children must also be doctors
and so on.”
Junaidi, who is also Deputy Speaker of Parliament said
this in his speech at Touch-Point and MRP cheque presenting ceremony for Pantai
Damai and Demak Laut constituencies which was held at the Yayasan Sarawak at
Jalan Sultan Tengah near the city here yesterday morning.
“If your children at their early age showed interest in
cooking, music or arts, don’t simply stop or condemn them but instead you
should encourage them as they might possibly have natural talents in them and
if practiced at the early stages, they might be the best and build a career in
that field in the future.”
Exampling the national diver, Sarawakian Pandelela Rinong
who recently won a bronze medal at 2012 London Olympics in the Women's 10m
Platform, Junaidi said that the diving event is not a popular sport in Malaysia
if compared to badminton or football.
“Despite going to the Olympic as an “underdog” where
nobody in this world expected that she would win any medal, Pandelela however,
gave her very best and performed a world class diving performance, enabling her
to snatch the bronze medal.”
“Whoever thought that a teenager from Sarawak, Malaysia
could win an Olympic medal, especially in a sport aquatic event which is not
popular and highlighted in our country all this while?,” said Junaidi.
“Therefor, if you have the interest in something that is
uncommon, you must dare to give it a try as you might know that you might turn
to be the best in that field like Pandelela,” he added.
During the ceremony, Junaidi, who was accompanied by his
wife Datin Hajah Feona Sim Abdullah presented RM491,050 to 170 individuals and
representatives of their respective associations.
Also present at the ceremony were Pantai Damai State
Assembly Dr Abdul Rahman Junaidi, Pemanca Rashidi Junaidi and other
distinguished guests.
