kepercayaan kepada Tuhan = 信奉上苍

Pada hari negara ditimpa bencana, sekumpulan kanak-kanak menyertai majlis doa dalam talian. Mereka menganut agama yang berbeza dan berada di rumah, sekolah, hospital atau perpustakaan, tetapi semuanya tunduk dengan tenang dan mendoakan keselamatan rakyat yang terjejas.

Contoh: Ana, Raja dan Yong Qi berdoa mengikut cara masing-masing pada masa yang sama untuk mangsa bencana.

Awas: Perhatikan bahawa perbezaan agama tidak menghalang mereka bersatu untuk negara.

belief in God = 信奉上苍

On the day the country faced a disaster, a group of children joined an online prayer meeting. They follow different religions and logged in from homes, a school, a hospital and a library, yet all of them bowed their heads quietly and prayed for the safety of the people affected.

Example: Ana, Raja and Yong Qi each pray in their own way at the same time for the disaster victims.

Watch out: Notice that different religions did not stop them from standing together for the country.

menghormati agama lain = 尊重他族宗教

Cerita ini memperkenalkan empat sahabat yang menganut agama berbeza. Setiap seorang melakukan kebaikan berdasarkan ajaran agamanya, seperti menjaga alam sekitar, menjenguk warga emas, berkongsi seni kolam dan berdoa sebelum makan. Rakan-rakan lain menghormati dan menyokong mereka.

Contoh: Semasa rumah terbuka, tetamu lain diam seketika ketika Vito berdoa sebelum makan.

Awas: Kita tidak perlu menganut agama yang sama untuk bekerjasama membuat kebaikan.

respecting other faiths = 尊重他族宗教

This story introduces four friends who follow different religions. Each of them does good deeds guided by their own faith, such as caring for nature, visiting the elderly, sharing kolam art and praying before a meal. Their friends respect and support them instead of making fun of them.

Example: At an open house, the other guests stay quiet while Vito says grace before eating.

Watch out: You do not need to share a religion with someone to do good together.

hormati upacara agama = 尊重宗教仪式

Apabila seseorang sedang berdoa, cara terbaik untuk menghormatinya ialah berdiam diri seketika dan menunggu. Makan dahulu atau bertanya dengan kuat ketika dia berdoa boleh mengganggu tumpuannya. Selepas dia selesai, barulah semua orang makan bersama dengan gembira.

Contoh: Mei Ling berhenti bercakap dan menunggu sehingga rakannya selesai berdoa.

Awas: Bertanya tidak salah, tetapi tunggu sehingga upacara selesai.

respecting a ritual = 尊重宗教仪式

When someone is praying, the most respectful thing to do is to stay quiet for a moment and wait. Starting to eat or asking questions out loud while they pray can disturb them. Once they have finished, everyone can enjoy the meal together happily.

Example: Mei Ling stops chatting and waits until her friend finishes his prayer.

Watch out: Asking about a ritual is fine, but wait until it is over.

Rukun Negara = 国家原则

Kepercayaan kepada Tuhan ialah prinsip pertama Rukun Negara yang diisytiharkan pada 31 Ogos 1970. Ia bermaksud kita percaya kepada Tuhan, mengikut ajaran agama sendiri, berbuat baik dan menghormati kepercayaan orang lain. Islam ialah agama Persekutuan, dan agama lain boleh diamalkan dengan aman.

Contoh: Lima prinsip itu ialah Kepercayaan kepada Tuhan, Kesetiaan kepada Raja dan Negara, Keluhuran Perlembagaan, Kedaulatan Undang-undang serta Kesopanan dan Kesusilaan.

Awas: Prinsip ini bukan tentang agama siapa lebih baik, tetapi tentang hidup harmoni.

national principles = 国家原则

Belief in God is the first principle of the Rukun Negara, proclaimed on 31 August 1970. It means believing in God, following the teachings of your own religion, doing good, and respecting the beliefs of others. Islam is the religion of the Federation, and other religions may be practised in peace.

Example: The five principles are Belief in God, Loyalty to King and Country, Supremacy of the Constitution, Rule of Law, and Courtesy and Morality.

Watch out: This principle is not about whose religion is better; it is about living in harmony.

bertimbang rasa = 体谅

Rakan yang berpuasa tidak makan dan minum pada siang hari mengikut ajaran agamanya. Kita menghormatinya dengan makan di kantin atau tempat lain, bukan di depan matanya. Menawarkan makanan atau memujuknya berbuka awal menunjukkan kita tidak memahami amalan agamanya.

Contoh: Kumar makan rotinya di kantin dan kembali ke kelas untuk berbual dengan Azlan.

Awas: Niat baik pun boleh menyinggung jika kita tidak memahami amalan orang lain.

being considerate = 体谅

A friend who is fasting does not eat or drink during the day because of his religion. We show respect by eating in the canteen or somewhere else instead of right in front of him. Offering him food or urging him to break the fast early shows we do not understand his practice.

Example: Kumar eats his bread in the canteen and then returns to class to chat with Azlan.

Watch out: Even a kind offer can hurt if we ignore what another faith asks of its followers.

cara mengamalkan = 实践方法

Kita mengamalkan prinsip ini dengan mengikut ajaran agama sendiri, seperti jujur dan penyayang, serta menghormati amalan, tempat ibadat dan makanan agama lain. Apabila semua rakyat berbuat begini, salah faham berkurang, kaum-kaum saling mempercayai, dan negara menjadi aman serta makmur.

Contoh: Siti tidak mentertawakan pakaian tradisional rakan dan turut meraikan perayaannya.

Awas: Semua agama mengajak manusia berbuat baik walaupun caranya berbeza.

ways to practise = 实践方法

We practise this principle by following the teachings of our own religion, such as being honest and caring, and by respecting the practices, places of worship and food rules of other faiths. When every citizen does this, there are fewer misunderstandings, races trust one another, and the nation stays peaceful and prosperous.

Example: Siti never laughs at a friend’s religious clothing and joins in celebrating his festival.

Watch out: All religions guide people towards goodness, even though their ways differ.

ucapan spontan = 即席演讲

Dalam aktiviti ini, setiap kumpulan mencabut kad situasi dan wakilnya memberi ucapan pendek. Ucapan perlu menyebut tiga perkara: cara watak mengikut ajaran agamanya, kepentingan perbuatan itu untuk keharmonian negara, dan perasaan selepas berbuat baik. Susunan ini menjadikan ucapan jelas.

Contoh: Kad kejujuran: watak menyerahkan wang kutipan Hari Sukan Negara yang dijumpainya kepada guru.

Awas: Jangan hanya bercerita; nyatakan juga kepentingan dan perasaan.

impromptu speech = 即席演讲

In this activity each group draws a situation card and one member gives a short speech. The speech must cover three points: how the character follows the teachings of their religion, why that action matters for national harmony, and how it feels to do good. This order keeps the speech clear.

Example: Honesty card: the character hands the National Sports Day money she found to the teacher.

Watch out: Do not only tell the story; include why it matters and how you feel.

kejujuran = 诚实

Wang lebihan dalam kotak jualan amal bukan milik Ka Yan, walaupun tiada orang tahu siapa yang memberinya. Orang yang jujur tidak mengambil sesuatu yang bukan haknya. Menyerahkan wang itu kepada guru dan menerangkan keadaan ialah tindakan yang paling tepat.

Contoh: Ka Yan berkata kepada guru bahawa kutipan hari ini lebih lima ringgit daripada rekod.

Awas: Membelanja rakan dengan wang itu tetap menggunakan wang orang lain.

honesty = 诚实

The extra money in the charity sale box does not belong to Ka Yan, even though nobody knows who paid too much. An honest person never keeps what is not theirs. Handing the money to the teacher and explaining what happened is the right choice.

Example: Ka Yan tells the teacher that today’s takings are five ringgit more than the record.

Watch out: Treating friends with that money is still spending someone else’s money.

menuju kebaikan = 引导向善

Laluan dalam aktiviti ini melalui beberapa acara kebangsaan, seperti membersihkan sungai, berdoa untuk mangsa nahas udara, menyaksikan perayaan Thaipusam, menderma darah dan menghargai makanan. Rakyat pelbagai agama menyertainya bersama kerana setiap agama mengajar penganutnya menyayangi alam dan sesama manusia.

Contoh: Pada Hari Sungai Sedunia, murid pelbagai kaum memungut sampah di tebing sungai bersama-sama.

Awas: Fokus kepada nilai bersama, bukan perbezaan amalan agama.

guided towards good = 引导向善

The path in this activity passes several national events: cleaning a river, praying for victims of an air crash, watching the Thaipusam celebration, donating blood and valuing food. People of many faiths take part together, because every religion teaches its followers to care for nature and for other people.

Example: On World Rivers Day, pupils of different races pick up rubbish along the riverbank together.

Watch out: Focus on the shared values, not on the differences between practices.

menghargai makanan = 珍惜食物

Semua agama mengajar kita bersyukur atas rezeki dan tidak membazir. Di majlis bufet, ambil makanan secukupnya dahulu. Jika masih lapar, kita boleh menambah kemudian. Mengambil terlalu banyak lalu membuangnya ialah pembaziran yang tidak menghormati rezeki yang diberi.

Contoh: Mei Qi mengambil sedikit mi goreng dahulu, kemudian menambah separuh pinggan lagi.

Awas: Membungkus banyak makanan bufet untuk dibawa pulang juga tidak sesuai.

valuing food = 珍惜食物

Every religion teaches us to be thankful for our food and not to waste it. At a buffet, take a sensible portion first. If you are still hungry, you can go back for more later. Taking too much and throwing it away wastes the blessings we have been given.

Example: Mei Qi takes a small plate of fried noodles first and then returns for half a plate more.

Watch out: Packing lots of buffet food to take home is not appropriate either.

perayaan pelbagai kaum = 各族节庆

Permainan kad nombor menguji pengetahuan tentang prinsip pertama Rukun Negara dan perayaan pelbagai kaum. Kad bergambar menunjukkan rakyat meraikan Hari Raya Haji, Tahun Baru Cina dan Hari Wesak bersama-sama. Apabila kita memahami perayaan orang lain, kita lebih mudah menghormati dan memaafkan.

Contoh: Rakan pelbagai kaum membantu menggantung tanglung pada majlis Tahun Baru Cina.

Awas: Jika menyertai upacara agama lain, perhatikan dan ikut peraturan tempat itu.

festivals of many races = 各族节庆

The number card game tests what pupils know about the first principle of the Rukun Negara and about the festivals of different communities. The picture cards show people celebrating Hari Raya Haji, Chinese New Year and Wesak Day together. Understanding other festivals makes it easier to respect and forgive one another.

Example: Friends of different races help hang lanterns at a Chinese New Year gathering.

Watch out: When attending another faith’s ceremony, observe quietly and follow the rules of the place.

khidmat masyarakat = 社会服务

Sempena Hari Bumi, murid berbincang tentang khidmat yang sesuai untuk kawasan mereka. Kabub mencadangkan menjadi pemandu pelancong sehari dan membawa kanak-kanak bandar ke hutan hujan untuk kelas hutan. Kepercayaannya mengajar bahawa hutan ialah ciptaan indah yang mesti dijaga.

Contoh: Kumpulan Kabub merancang laluan, menyediakan soalan kuiz tentang tumbuhan dan membawa beg sampah.

Awas: Pilih khidmat yang sesuai dengan keperluan kawasan dan kemampuan murid.

community service = 社会服务

For Earth Day, the pupils discuss which service would suit their area. Kabub suggests being a one-day guide and leading city children into the rainforest for a forest classroom. His belief teaches that the forest is a beautiful creation that must be cared for, so the plan fits his faith too.

Example: Kabub’s group plans the trail, prepares a plant quiz and brings rubbish bags.

Watch out: Choose a service that meets local needs and that pupils can really manage.

kenal pasti keperluan = 观察需要

Khidmat masyarakat yang berkesan bermula dengan memerhati keperluan sebenar penduduk. Selepas itu barulah murid memilih aktiviti, membahagikan tugas dan menyediakan bahan. Membeli hadiah atau memilih tempat terkenal tanpa mengetahui keperluan mungkin tidak membantu sesiapa.

Contoh: Murid mendapati rumah orang tua kekurangan pembantu untuk membersihkan halaman, lalu mereka merancang gotong-royong.

Awas: Tujuan khidmat ialah membantu, bukan untuk bergambar.

finding the need = 观察需要

Good community service starts by observing what people nearby really need. Only after that do pupils choose an activity, share out the jobs and prepare materials. Buying gifts or picking a famous place without knowing the need may not help anyone at all.

Example: Pupils notice the old folks’ home needs help cleaning its garden, so they plan a clean-up day.

Watch out: The aim of service is to help, not to take photos.

Malam Budaya Malaysia = 马来西亚文化之夜

Kelab Rukun Negara sekolah menganjurkan malam budaya. Murid memilih tarian Sumazau kerana ia diamalkan oleh kaum Kadazandusun ketika meraikan Pesta Kaamatan. Persembahan ini membantu penonton mengenali perayaan kaum lain. Pada malam itu, murid berpakaian tradisional pelbagai kaum berpegangan tangan di pentas.

Contoh: Penonton bertepuk tangan apabila murid pelbagai kaum menari bersama.

Awas: Menghormati budaya lain tidak bermaksud melupakan budaya sendiri.

Malaysian culture night = 文化之夜

The school Rukun Negara club organises a culture night. The pupils choose the Sumazau dance because the Kadazandusun community performs it to celebrate the harvest festival. The show helps the audience learn about another community’s celebration. On the night, pupils in traditional dress of many races hold hands on stage.

Example: The audience claps as pupils of different races dance together.

Watch out: Respecting other cultures does not mean forgetting your own.

tegur dengan baik = 友善提醒

Mentertawakan pakaian atau tarian kaum lain boleh melukakan hati dan menimbulkan salah faham. Cara terbaik ialah menegur rakan dengan lembut dan menerangkan keistimewaan tarian itu supaya dia lebih memahami. Berdiam diri atau turut ketawa membiarkan sikap tidak hormat berterusan.

Contoh: Saya berkata, tarian ini menceritakan kegembiraan perayaan, cuba lihat gerakan tangannya yang cantik.

Awas: Tegur dengan nada mesra, jangan memalukan rakan di depan orang ramai.

a kind reminder = 友善提醒

Laughing at another community’s costume or dance can hurt feelings and cause misunderstanding. The best response is to remind the classmate gently and explain what is special about the dance so he understands it better. Staying silent or joining the laughter lets the disrespect continue.

Example: I say, this dance shows the joy of a festival, look at the graceful hand movements.

Watch out: Speak in a friendly tone and avoid embarrassing him in front of others.

kertas refleksi = 反思卷

Kertas refleksi merekod tingkah laku murid selama dua minggu. Murid menulis peristiwa, perasaan, sebab dan apa yang akan dilakukan jika masa boleh diputar semula. Dalam contoh, seorang murid tidak menolong kanak-kanak yang luka semasa kemalangan LRT kerana takut darah, lalu berasa bersalah.

Contoh: Jika masa boleh diputar semula, dia akan memanggil orang dewasa dan menghulurkan tisu.

Awas: Tulis dengan jujur, termasuk kesilapan, kerana refleksi membantu kita berubah.

reflection sheet = 反思卷

A reflection sheet records a pupil’s behaviour over two weeks. The pupil writes down the event, the feelings, the reason, and what they would do if time could turn back. In the example, a boy ignored a child who was bleeding after an LRT crash because he was afraid of blood, and later felt guilty.

Example: If he could turn back time, he would call an adult and pass the child a tissue.

Watch out: Write honestly, mistakes included, because reflection helps us improve.

membantu ikut kemampuan = 力所能及

Kita tidak perlu menjadi doktor untuk menolong. Walaupun takut melihat darah, murid itu masih boleh memberitahu orang dewasa berdekatan dan menghulurkan tisu kepada kanak-kanak yang luka. Menutup mata atau meninggalkan tempat itu bermaksud dia sekali lagi tidak mempedulikan orang yang memerlukan.

Contoh: Dia berkata kepada seorang makcik, adik itu berdarah, boleh tolong dia, sambil memberi tisu.

Awas: Pertolongan kecil tetap bermakna kepada orang yang sedang susah.

helping within your ability = 力所能及

You do not need to be a doctor to help. Even though he is afraid of blood, the boy could still tell a nearby adult and pass a tissue to the injured child. Closing his eyes or leaving the train would mean ignoring someone in need all over again.

Example: He tells an auntie, that little boy is bleeding, please help him, while holding out a tissue.

Watch out: A small act of help still means a lot to someone in trouble.

ringkasan unit = 本课小结

Unit ini menerangkan prinsip pertama Rukun Negara, iaitu Kepercayaan kepada Tuhan. Kita mengikut ajaran agama sendiri, menghormati amalan dan perayaan orang lain, menyertai khidmat masyarakat, dan merenung tingkah laku sendiri. Apabila semua rakyat berbuat begini, Malaysia kekal harmoni dan makmur.

Contoh: Seorang murid berdiam diri ketika rakan berdoa dan menyertai gotong-royong membersihkan sungai.

Awas: Teruskan ke halaman latihan untuk menguji pilihan anda dalam pelbagai situasi.

unit summary = 本课小结

This unit explained Belief in God, the first principle of the Rukun Negara. We follow the teachings of our own religion, respect the practices and festivals of others, serve the community, and reflect on our own behaviour. When all citizens do this, Malaysia stays harmonious and prosperous.

Example: A pupil stays quiet while a friend prays and joins a river clean-up with classmates.

Watch out: Go on to the practice page to test your choices in different situations.
