=**Revolter**=

3 years ago, in the remotest parts of Sri Lanka, a boy with his family were refugees fled across Malaysia because their country had a civil war. When we ask: “You want to go back to your country after you studying here?"-"Yes, want to go back but i don’t want to stay there forever, I just want to visit"- the boy answer. The mind and the body was destroyed by war, so how about his life? His story will be related by our interview in this story. media type="youtube" key="He-otSuIcFI" width="457" height="346" align="right" When we meet him first time, my life is better than his past. A boy has handsome face and nice smile, but it still has boring about unhappy life in the past. He’s really happy, when he knows we will have an interview with him. His name is MJack He has a beautiful life in Malaysia because he has a chance, but the important thing is he has a best friend from Myanmar. When first time he comes refugee school, he thought Myanmar people who are from Myanmar they don't really like him. However, after that, he think: “I found him is really a nice guy, he is very good in English, so he teach him English and I teach him math because I am good in math”. They also have many beautiful and sad memories with each another. For example, one day when they are playing, he falls down on the stairs so his friend carries his and finding the teacher then put medicine and all that. Last year his friend left, he left the school and then back to Puchong I think, there is where he stay and he change school ,so now MJack feel like quite alone because he was the only best friend. MJack said:” I had, I still keep in touch with him but not really because he was too busy”. The best friend of MJack contact with him, please. He misses you so much! In a word, if we want have good life in busy society; we must have many good friends.

Besides talking about his friend, he also talks his activities in daily day. He is 14 getting to 15 soon. In weekend he sometimes goes to cinema and some other places together with his friends who they meet in last year in this school. He said:” we stay in the same condominium, so we all together always. In my hometown have our own language, it is mixed Tamil, Urdu, and then Arabic, so when I speak and only my hometown people can understand. But I can speak a bit Arabic, because I have to learn Arabic off course”. Now, he really loves life in Malaysia. When we ask about Malaysia, he have beautiful smile and said: “Malaysian are very good, most of them are friendly, and my Chinese friends and Malay friends they are friendly”. He can’t speak Chinese language, but Malay language can speak a little bit. His dream is become a veterinary doctor and he wants to finish PHD in Zoology. He loves animal more than human, because maybe he think some people are merciless and deceitful. He is interest in photography and he usually takes picture. But he doesn’t like to take picture of human because MJack thinks they keep complaining. – We don’t know why -Maybe a consequence of War? Now he misses his relatives, his cousins in his hometown, Sri Lanka, and he can do anything for them. In sum, War is the stupidest thing in the world, we also think too, because it has terrible consequences for everyone, everything in our hometown.

Now, MJack‘s family is better, they live together with 5 members family: a sister, a brother, him, and his parent. His brother and sister are studying in same school, his sister is in kindergarten and my brother is in second standard. In our opinion, we think we should have more refugee school for refugee children like MJack, because they really want to study and live in peaceful. HAVE PITY ON THE REFUGEE PERSON !!!
