Kes Pembuangan Bayi



Anak adalah harta yang paling berharga dikurniakan oleh Allah S.W.T yang tidak dapat digambarkan nilainya. Anak dikurniakan kepada pasangan suami isteri agar dididik dan diasuh menjadi anak yang soleh, tetapi tidak semua pasangan yang berkahwin dikurniakan anak. Maka sudah menjadi tanggungjawab kita sebagai ibu bapa menghargai anugerah yang diberikan.

Saban hari, banyak kes pembuangan bayi yang terpampang di dada-dada akhbar mahupun di kaca televisyen. Boleh dikatakan, hampir setiap hari terdapat kes-kes baru tentang pembuangan bayi. Apa yang lebih menyayatkan hati,bayi-bayi ini bukan hanya sekadar dibuang malah turut dibakar. Mereka seperti tidak mempunyai peri kemanusian langsung dan tergamak untuk bertindak sedemikian rupa dengan membuang bayi yang tidak berdosa tanpa ada belas kasihan.

Antara punca yang membawa kepada gejala pembuangan bayi adalah keruntuhan akhlak di kalangan remaja masa kini. Golongan remaja yang sedang meningkat usia ke alam dewasa menpunyai sifat ingin tahu dan ingin mencuba yang amat dalam, justeru pengaruh dari barat merupakan salah satu faktor utama keruntuhan akhlak remaja Malaysia. Sebagai contoh, dalam dunia hiburan yang dimonopoli oleh barat, mereka menjadikan gaya hidup sebagai inspirasi penghasilan filem, iklan dan muzik. Contohnya, cara berpakaian serta pergaulan bebas dan gaya hidup yang tiada batasan mempengaruhi anak muda. Perasaan ingin tahu mempengaruhi minda serta tingkahlaku remaja di Malaysia dan cenderong ke arah gaya hidup yang tidak sihat. Pergaulan bebas antara lelaki dan perempuan serta cara berpakaian yang mencolok mata menaikkan nafsu shahwat dan terjadinya anak-anak yang tidak beribu dan bapa.

Selain itu, ibu bapa turut memainkan peranan penting di dalam sesebuah institusi keluarga. Pada era serba moden ini , ibu bapa sibuk bekerjaya sehingga melupakan tanggungjawab kepada anak-anak. Kebanyakkan ibu bapa gemar menghantar anak-anak mereka di bawah jagaan orang lain yang membawa kepada kurangnya kasih sayang daripada ibu bapa. Di sini, bermulanya perasaan memberontak dan biadap terhadap ibu bapa dan ini membawa kepada adanya anak-anak yang terbiar. Selain itu, keruntuhan rumahtangga juga memainkan peranan penting kepada wujudnya anak-anak terbiar. Pergaulan tanpa pengawasan anak-anak terbiar ini menjadikan mereka bebas melakukan apa-apa sahaja mengikut hawa nafsu. Oleh itu, lahirnya anak-anak luar nikah dan membawa kepada pembuangan bayi secara berleluasa.

Kurang didikan agama merupakan salah satu punca lain yang membawa kepada gejala pembuangan bayi. Ibu bapa,jiran tetangga dan masyarakat memainkan peranan penting dalam mendidik anak-anak muda agar menjadi insan yang berakhlak tigggi selaras bagi melahirkan modal insan yang berguna. Kekurangan didikan agama menjadikan remaja tidak tahu membezakan antara halal dan haram serta akibat daridapa tingkahlaku tiada faedah mereka. Oleh kerana tiada ilmu di dada, maka mereka terlibat dalam kancah seks bebas tanpa mengenal dosa. Tidak cukup dengan melakukan satu dosa ditambah pula dosa membuang anak yang tidak sempat menatap wajah ibu bapanya sendiri. Apa yang lebih menyayatkan hati, anak-anak tersebut di buang tanpa rasa bersalah, belas kasihan serta sifat keperimanusiaan sebagai seorang ibu kepada anak kecil tersebut.




Bagi membendung gejala pembuangan bayi yang makin menular “ bagai cendawan yang tumbuh selepas hujan” dalam masyarakat masa kini, hukuman sedia ada harus digubal agar lebih tegas dan berat terhadap pesalahlaku jenayah ini. Hukuman sedia ada dilihat seperti belum mampu untuk menanggani masalah ini. Pesalah tidak gentar dengan hukuman yang diberikan dan tidak serik untuk mengulangi perbuatan terkutuk tersebut. Seharusnya, kerajaan melaksanakan hukuman mengikut undang-undang Islam yang lebih tegas dan berat. Undang-undang ini dilihat lebih efisyen bagi menggerunkan orang ramai untuk tidak melakukan perbuatan yang terlarang tersebut. Selain itu, kerajaan juga harus mencari mekanisme baru bagi menangani masalah ini ibarat barah yang sedang menular dalam masyarakat sekarang dengan menghantar mereka yang bersalah ini ke pusat-pusat pemulihan akhlak agar mereka bertaubat dan menginsafi diri. Di sana, mereka akan diberikan didikan agama yang secukupnya serta ilmu-ilmu berguna untuk masa hadapan. Selama ini, kerajaan hanya menitikberatkan soal pemulihan dadah yang semakin meruncing dan hanya memandang sebelah mata tentang permasalahan ini tanpa membuat sebarang tindakan. Kini, kerajaan harus memainkan peranaan dalam menanggani masalah ini agar lebih ramai bayi yang tidak berdosa dibuang.


Selain itu, kerajaan juga boleh mengenakan hukuman sebat kepada pesalah yang melakukan kesalahan pembuangan bayi. Dengan cara ini, sedikit sebanyak boleh menakutkan orang ramai untuk melakukan pembuangan anak dan tidak akan mengulangi kesalahan tersebut. Dengan hukuman berat yang dikenakan oleh kerajaan, sedikit sebanyak dapat mengurangkan kes ini dan menjadi salah satu kebiasaan cara hidup di Malaysia. Kerajaaan seharusnya bekerjasama dengan agensi-agensi lain seperti Kementrian Wanita dan Masyarakat, Jabatan Agama Islam dan pertubuhan-pertubuhan bukan kerajaan lain dan berunding dalam satu meja bulat bagi mencari hukuman yang sesuai dalam menangani masalah ini yang makin meruncing saban hari.

Kesimpulannya, semua pihak haruslah memainkan peranan yang penting dalam membendung masalah ini dan tidak mengamalkan sikap seperti enau dalam belukar melepaskan pucuk masing-masing. Isu pembuangan bayi ini bukan lagi isu remeh dan semua pihak harus memandang serius terhadap masalah ini sejajar dengan hasrat kerajaan untuk melahirkan modal insan yang berkualiti,inovasi dan kreatif bagi mencapai Wawasan 2020

Unleashed Your "Prism"

Assalamualaikum and hello, fellow visitors! Hope you guys doing well and had a great weekend pleasure. Basically, I am still wondering what am I suppose to do here again. Before I started, let us recall something from the past. Before this I have a personal blog and yet it almost few months since the last time I did update it. Certainly, I am done with the blogging thing and I have a sense of personal opinion which I never write if nobody is going to read it. But as for the sake of the subject LIB 401, I put myself up again to produce another blog but for this time it would have a sense of educational mixed and blend inside of it. I am hoping that after the creation of “Prism”, many readers would interest to read my upcoming post at the same time, share thoughts and views regarding on certain upcoming issues. “Prism” gives opportunity for readers to compensate mistakes on each post in “Prism”. It also allows readers to communicate with each other and express different perspectives among themselves.

As for introduction, I would prefer people called me as Helmi Abhas. “Helmi” stands for my root name which came from “Zulhelmi” while name “Abhas” is took from my father’s nickname. I am a UiTM student, taking interpersonal communication sequence. I chose “Prism” to entitle the blog is because prism itself symbolizes the refraction of ideology and opinions from a single to multiple cracks of ideas that is transferred from one to another by the method of writing and critical thinking. It is an essential for a good writer to have a great writing skills as well good critical thinking. Based from what I have learnt from my diploma study, a characteristic that should have for a great writer is that they must have the charismatic writing to produce the quality one, plus the writing must be genuine and sincere. As result, the writing will get readers’ attention and cause them eager to know what is next. As the writer of “Prism”, I hope people will more understand and interpret well of the content in “Prism”. Thank You.
