Pusat Serenti2

 Assalamualaikum wbt and hye...

Thinking back, I don't have much more to say about the topic, I'll just throw some bits and pieces of thought.

• Out of 300+ penghuni, 200+ are Malays. 30 Indian and 40 Chinese and 2 lain-lain... haih...
• I particularly like how they tried not to allow them to be physically agressive to each other, to train them to control their feelings and anger so when they go out, they will less likely resort to aggression when dealing with things.
  
• For eg: If you are angry or not satisfied with someone or want to report unacceptable behavior.... you have to write on a paper, just write anything...if you want to curse or what not, just write it all on the paper and put in designated box. Then it will either be resolved in meeting or personal issues will be dealt between both party in a session with therapist/staff present and the person with anger/dissatisfaction is allowed to let go verbally to the intended party in controlled environment. he is allowed to fume and speak till he is satisfied and the person in the receiving end just listen...coz the target is the angry one (teach not to be physical...). But the receiving person can say if he can't take it anymore, and maybe the staff will facilitate any discussion. in the end, they will resolve the prob, and life goes back to normal. (ideally)
• Other interesting thing they do is the "punishment" if you do something major, called learning experience, you have to wear blue t-shirt that is different than others, and asked to do stuff like cleaning a huge pasu (kat air pancut) with toothbrush and everyone passing along have to stop and "advise" you about the mistake you made. This is like and effort to make u remember and ponder on ur mistake...and is carried out by ur peers.... ala2 raging tapi still kalau x dpt pengajaran gak... bolehla kene LE banyak2 kali lagik, hehe...
• Other one is while waiting for hearing, if you did something wrong, you have to sit in a chair, facing the wall, outside the room so ppl can see you....does it make u ponder on ur mistakes? Im not sure, never get that kind of punishment before, selalunye tgk anak org putih je kene sit on the corner... dulu kat skolah kene berdiri luar kelas. And kat skolah menengah pun biase kene duduk kat luar kelas sebab x hafal similarities and differences time kene tasmi' kelas ustazah bahasa arab, hehe....
