1982 BAHA’I YOUTH CAMP


BAHA’I YOUTH CAMP
AT SEMATAN BEACH
JULY 23-26, 1982

This is my last Baha'i event in Malaysia. After this I left in August to India. The supposed to be a month Baha'i Teaching trip ending up as a school teacher for 2.5 years in a Chinese School in Calcutta.
I attended this Youth Camp but certainly not as a youth at almost 30.
Since then I never return to stay in Kuching though I came back several times for short visit.
In 1998 I return to settle down in Malaysia (in another town) with a family. By then a new generation of youth has grown up. Though only one generation in gap, the characteristic are great different. From the old generation of “Group” consciousness youth to today young generation of “Self” consciousness youth.
Beware, not to repeat the mistake of the “Self Centered” Western Youth.
It is a generation of extremely “Self Centered” young of the West that bring the Western Countries down from once powerful of the last century. Economy, Cultural, Intellectual….
