This outstanding feature of racial harmony is found in only a few countries in the world. 11 In the towns and cities, we first-class facilities ranging from five-star hotels, advancedtransportationsystems,excellent sporting facilities to shopping complexeswhich 12 are well-stocked with products of international standard.

As soon as I arrive at the Kuala Lumpur International 14 Airport, I always sigh relief. Home sweethome. As I love Malaysia so much, the idea of settling down in another country has never crossedmy mind. Some of my friends migrated a few years ago to seek greenerpastures. 15 , a few have returned as they found that life there was not as easy as they had thought. I think they must have finally realised that there is no place like home. (Adapted from the New Straits Times,2006)

Pay It Forward is a book, written by Catherine Ryan Hyde, which was later m a d e i nto a movie of the same n a me . I n t h e mo v ie , a y o u n g b o y , T re v o r, was challengedby his teacherto come up with an idea that could changethe world and to put this idea into action. Trevor decided to do a kind deed for three different people. These people then did the same to others. Each of these three people then did the same good deed for three other people. As a result, Trevor's one good deed led to nine acts of kindness and so the cycle continued. Trevor may just be an imaginary character,but this work of fiction has been put into practice by the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation, an organisation set up to encouragepeople to carry out good deeds.People all over the world are experiencing 1 0 the pleasureof having kind deedsdone for them and they in turn reciprocate. There are countlessways for people to show acts of kindness. It is not limited to giving money by donating to a needy cause,but we can also take time out to listen to someonewho has a problem and needs a friend. "Somebody paid for my order at a restaurantonce," says Syed Haizir. "It really made my day, so I try to do something 1 5 similar as often as I can," he adds. Au Yeong, a student, also found inspiration from the movie, Pay It Forward. On some days, he buys copies of newspapersand puts a note betweenthe pagessaying, "Enjoy reading ... from someonewho just wants to be kind." Then he gives the newspapersfree to people waiting at the bus-stop 20 or at the train station. A little creativity is very helpful in making others happy. If you come across a humorous comic strip or an inspiring article, cut it out. Pass it on to someonewho might be interestedin reading it. This will put a smile on their face. Put together writing kits with stationery, envelopes,stamps or art supplies and hand them over to patients at a hospital. These items will come in handy to help patients keep in touch with friends 2 S as well as to keep them occupied. You can give studentsinexpensive raincoats which they can keep in their bags. On rainy days, these will really be appreciated:textbooks and uniforms can be kept dry, and colds may be prevented.A small act of kindness goes a long way. There are indeed many ways to show kindness. You may think that being kind will 3 0 cost you a lot of money. Even those with the kindest hearts can be overwhelmedby the idea of doing charity becausethey think it will take up too much of their time. However, you can do good deeds for others with just what you have, and the wonderful thing is that there are a lot of benefits for the people who do these deeds. When people help others, they feel great about what they do. They experience 3 5 a greatersenseof well-being which is critically important as it helps to reduce common problems like stress and depression.These people will be able to cope better with their own worries and problems. Kindness has a way of catching on. Acts of kindness will give rise to more acts of kindness. When more people show kindness to each other, society will undergo 4 0 changes.As each good turn leads to the next, the effect will multiply, thus producing a caring society where people will be more concerned for others. Consequently, this will lead to more positive effects like a lower crime rate and happier crtizens.

She does this every Sunday. She takes as much care to make herself and the children look smart as she would if she were going to "do the block" in the city. There is nothing to see, however, and not a soul to meet. You might walk for twenty miles along this track without being able to fix a point in your mind, unless vou are a bushman.
