Program Latihan Khidmat Negara (PLKN) yang mula dilaksanakan pada tahun 2004 merupakan khusus latihan wajib selama tiga bulan secara berkhemah dan berasrama bagi remaja lepasan Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia. PLKN dilaksanakan berteraskan Rukun Negara dan mempunyai kurikulum multidisiplin yang merangkumi empat modul iaitu modul fizikal (merangkumi antara lain aktiviti kawad, merempuh halangan, merentas desa dan kembara hutan); modul kenegaraan (pengetahuan tentang pembinaan Negara atau nation-building); Modul Pembinaan Karakter (penerokaan diri sendiri dan hubungan interpersonal) dan Modul Khidmat Komuniti (merangkumi antara lain aktiviti gotong- royong seperti membersihkan, mengindahkan dan menceriakan kawasan sekitar). PLKN tidak bersifat kerahan tenaga atau mengikut trend yang diamalkan oleh negara lain.
Seperti yang dinyatakan oleh Jabatan Latihan Khidmat Negara, PLKN bertujuan untuk meningkatkan semangat patriotisme dalam kalangan generasi muda , memupuk perpaduan kaum serta integrasi nasional, membentuk perwatakan positif menerusi nilai-nilai murni, menyemarakkan semangat kesukarelaan, dan melahirkan generasi muda yang lebih cergas, cerdas dan penuh keyakinan.
PLKN sememangnya menyumbang terhadap usaha memupuk perpaduan kaum, terutamanya dalam kalangan golongan remaja kerana semua aktiviti yang dijalankan menekankan semangat muhibah dan saling bertolak ansur antara peserta tidak mengira kaum atau agama. Modul kenegaraan dapat menyemai semangat cinta akan tanah air di samping membolehkan para peserta mempelajari adat dan budaya pelbagai kaum. Apabila wujudnya rasa cintakan negara dalam diri peserta, perpaduan kaum dan integrasi nasional serta saling kerjasama antara kaum di Malaysia dapat diwujudkan kerana masing-masing mempunyai satu matlamat, iaitu untuk melihat Malaysia sebagai negara yang aman dan harmonis. Hal ini akhirnya dapat melahirkan remaja yang sanggup berkorban demi perpaduan bangsa.
Story about National Service...
It's nice to reminisce the memories you've experienced throughout your life. And National Service (NS) is one of it. To think again about it, I felt so grateful for being chosen as one of the trainees in NS. No doubt of me being rebellious, angry and sad at the same time. But that is a long story to tell. ^^,
Anyway, I felt grateful for being chosen as a part of the NS family because it changes my perspective about the people around me. Living in a safety zone all this while made me feel that I don't have to worry about who I befriends with or what I do because I believed that there must be someone who will automatically approach me and correct me if I'm wrong. But as I stepped into the NS Camp, I didn't have all these people to help or advice me as I was totally disconnected with the world outside. No handphones during the weekdays is enough to cause me suffer emotionally. And that was when I knew that life wasn't as easy as you think it was and that you can only rely on Him in every stiuations. T_T
Running from the reality was not a good choice. The more you avoid it, the more you have to bare with the suffer. So, NS camp taught me how to be optimist, open-minded, positive and it teaches me how to befriends with various types of people from different types of races. In camp, I also knew how to respect others the way they are. You can't expect others to be like what you want, but it's you who have to respect others the way they are. However exchanging advice with each your friends is important in order to become a better person.... It may be hard at first, but trust me, without facing it, you wouldn't know sweetness behind all the torture and misery you've always imagine. And this applies to all situations.
I pray that the friendship will always remain
