The result of this interview clearly shows that i had choose the right person that meets the criteria for my interview. He was a prominent person who has contributed to the community in development of economic, social and educational. Although he was busy, i was thankful to him because he managed to spent few of his precious times for this interview. 3.1 His contributions in development of community economic He was the person who first introduced the Banghuris Homestay project to the residents of Kampung Hulu Chuchuh, Kampung Bukit Bangkong and Kampung Hulu Teris. According to him, homestay is an excellent way to make friends, learn about Malaysias multi racial culture, and have a taste of the kampung or village lifestyle. Not only that, the tourists can also save their money and also get to know Malaysians the fastest way. He also said that the villagers can also make this homestay project as their side incomes and also have the new tourists as their adopted children.

Chuchuh since April 1995 until June 2002.

This Homestay project was widely accepted. However, in order to make sure the project will continue to give a constant income to the villagers, he had to publicize Banghuris. Since Tuan Haji Salam has a tourism company, he decided to put the pamphlet about Banghuris in his lobby. He also introduces about the Banghuris homestay project to the other tourism country and put up advertisement in web. Without his hard efforts, the Homestay project will certainly cannot become a huge success. Majority the villagers were a farmers such as oil palm growers, vegetables farmers, rubber tapers and others. As a member of the board in Lembaga Pertubuhan Peladang Kawasan (LPPK), he was responsible for ensuring that the villagers who worked as farmers were assisted accordingly. He made sure that the goverment subsidies in the form of fertilizers, pesticide, plant seedlings were all distributed fairly to all the farmers allotted.

3.2 His contributions in social development of community

JKKK have many goals for the community. One of them is to convince the public in living a perfect life based on Islam Hadhari, love and strive to improve the quality of the education world and hereafter. Their second goal is to encourage villagers on self-reliant community to improve their economic status of themselves and their families in create competitive, dynamic, robust and resilient. Lastly, they are responsible in planting a sense of belonging and friendship among the villagers through various activities such as religious, collaborative and recreation activities. As Tuan Haji Salam is one of the JKKKs committee, he was also very concerned about the education among villagers, especially the youth. In a meeting, he suggested that children who have potential furthering their studies but does not have enough expenses will be support through the scheme of Amanah Ikhtiar. Amanah Ikhtiar was actually a scheme that gives the poor families loan for them to start small businesses or project. When the families financial have become stable, they have to pay back the loan. The loan will then be given to the other family. He also suggested that the village made tuition classes for the children that will take big examinations like Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR), Peperiksaan Menengah Rendah (PMR) and Sijil Pendidikan Menengah (SPM). The tuition will be conducted during school holidays because he believed that children should not waste their time. The tuition teachers are all volunteers either from the villages school teachers or from the Institut Pendidikan Tinggi Awam (IPTA) students. He believed that young people are the hope of the nation and the leader of tomorrow. Not only that, surveys and media reports have highlighted numerous news involving teenagers as the victims of social illness. Realizing the pressing need for youth to have healthy outlets for their boundless energy, he as one the member of JKKK has implemented a special programme that specialized in creating clubs. Examples of the clubs are Kompang Club, Seni Silat Melayu Club, Rakan Muda Club, Jabber Club and many others. Through this programme, they especially Tuan Haji Salam hope to mold young people into becoming patriotic citizen, to inculcate in them a sense of self-pride, a driving sense of ambition, as well as to instill a sense of responsibility toward the community and nation.

Conclusions

I had gained a lot of valuable knowledge from this interview session. This programme made me realize how difficult it is to become a leader. Not only that, it also made me realize how important it is for us to become responsible citizen. We, as Malaysian citizen and living in a community should not be selfish. We should at least contribute something to our community without asking for returns.

2. Homestay

Homestay in Malaysia
Arriving in Malaysia, you land in the ultra modern Sepang International airport and ride into Kuala Lumpur where you marvel at the tallest twin towers in the world, Petronas Towers. After checking into a 200 rooms hotel, you take to the shopping mall located below the Twin Tower. Most people around you seem hurried to get somewhere or busy chatting away into their cell phones. But the real Malaysia is not all this but something else as well. Many of the population still live in a unhurried and rather charming and traditional lifestyle, where time seems to go at snails pace and the air clean and fresh. Treat yourself to a village(Kampung in Malay) Homestay in Malaysia. Be "adopted" by a family and be treated as a member of the family for the duration of your stay. To get a better appreciation of the culture, you may wear traditional attire, go fishing in a river, play kites with the children, eat simple local food, observe local customs, architecture, and furniture and participate in village activities. As they are mostly a Muslim village, there is no alcohol and it is respectful to dress modestly. Many villages still rely on agriculture as their primary source of income.

Homestay is an excellent way to make friends, learn about Malaysias multi racial culture, and have a taste of the kampung or village lifestyle. It is fun, safe, and an affordable way to stay in Malaysia and you can interact and experience village-style living first-hand as well as the Malaysian culture.

In these kampungs, majority of the houses are built on stilts and amenities offer basic comfort, many have very huge and wide windows which make the houses airy and cool. Electricity and running water are available and the kampungs are well connected to big cities via modern highways and public transport.
