COMMUNITY SERVICE
Activity 1
Introduction
The community service program is part of the course I need to take as an OUM student. By
studying this subject, I can plan and will implement and reflect after the project is
implemented. Therefore, this paper is designed to meet the needs of courses that require OUM
students like me to carry out this meaningful community service activity.
Before I set out the many elements that need to be present in this paper, I need to understand
the reason or importance of this community service program being run. This program allows
me to improve my knowledge and skills to solve the problems of the population. This indoor
exercise activity can shape my personality and I also get to learn and understand the concept
of cooperation in the family during MCO.
In addition, the indoor aerobic exercise and regular exercise activity can cultivate a sense of
love and togetherness in myself and family towards the community in environment. I can also
practice a healthy lifestyle and the value of helping other family members to enable the lives
of locals to improve. Because of the Malaysia Movement Control Order (MCO) and social
distancing as a precautionary measure against the prevention of coronavirus pandemic 2019
(COVID-19) this assignment was doing by self without any group supports.
This idea was came out because nowadays our generation was very consider about their
healthiness. Based on the rules and regulation of our government in this MCO season people
can’t came out from the house without any valuable reason. Throughout the idea people can
stay sage n healthy at home.
Furthermore, there are many residents who live there have to carry out their activities there
such as jogging, cycling and so on. But it is not a possible activity in this MCO situation. As
we know, exercise is the basis of health is the key to happiness in one's life. According to the
very difficult situation myself planning for this kind of activity to support the community
service. Therefore, make initial preparations to ensure that this community service program
can run smoothly.

After carrying out this project, participants can show concern for the importance of
service to the community and get closer to the community. In addition, participants can show
and appreciate the characteristics of human beings with noble morals and good teaching
values. Participants can also learn to plan, implement and play their respective roles to
complete this task. The value of cooperation and collaboration can be learned throughout the
program. This task can cultivate a love for the culture of helping fellow members of the
community.
This assignment can form a value of appreciation among the participants. Participants can
appreciate the value of community service in depth. Based on the activity there is some
objective to this activity.
2.0 Objective of activity
2.1 Importance of active and active living
2.2 Practice of lifelong physical activity.
Before starting this assignment, I need to understand the meaning of doing community
service. After reading the notes provided in My Inspire, I realized I needed to do something to
make this community better. I’m as a citizen who practices civic practices need to do
something so that the situation can be improved.
Before we start exercising first, it is best to make sure we have enough food and drink, this
is important for us to have enough initial energy. Indeed, many people want to exercise to lose
weight and therefore they do not want to consume enough food or drink. This will cause
unwanted things or accidents to happen just because we faint or so. Get used to doing warm-
up activities before starting a full exercise activity. This is important to enable our body
muscles to work in a healthy state. This warm-up activity should involve the movement of
muscles throughout the body. An example of the best tool for this warm-up activity is the
3
Cross Trainer. Perform warm-up activities from 5-10 minutes. This matter will help to people
to stretch the body on exercise time.
During the implementation of this community service activity, one of my housemate
volunteered to help us record the activity of indoor aerobic exercise and regular exercise. At
first, the recording was not as smooth as we imagined, but after communication the recording
process was satisfactory. Although I feel nervous or a little afraid to present ourselves in front
of the camera's response, but im eager to do this task. Finally, this task can be completed
smoothly.
1 August 2020
8.00 AM – Gather with housemate those involved in activity
8.30 AM – Start with regular exercise continue by aerobic
10.30 AM – Cool down activity and complete the task
Description of activity before and after
Everyone knows the importance of exercise for health. Even now we can see in the
neighborhood there are neighbors who every morning spend time exercising by walking fast
or running children before rushing to work. The atmosphere on the MCO is more lively. Some
cycled with their families, some chose to jog with their partners and not least the mothers who
held aerobics groups. But in this atmosphere people can’t meet each other even neighborhood
also.
So this task will help people to achieve their aim to weight loss. Exercise indoor will helped
people to face the pandemic situation. According to the slogan stay at home safe and healthy
people can try this task at home in very concern environment. Everything is done to improve
the level of health and fitness.
Appreciation
Thanks to my housemate for recording the activity.

1.0 REFLECTION THROUGHOUT THE ORGANIZATION OF COMMUNITY
SERVICES
Through the MPU 3412 Community Service course, OUM students are required to plan,
implement and make a relevant report in the success of a community-based program. This
program aims to expose students to the application of knowledge, skills and civic values as
well as citizenship outside the university. In addition, this program also exposes students to
the application of communication skills, leadership and teamwork as well as practicing
information management skills. Apart from contributing to the community and the country,
this program also aims to produce citizens who are patriotic and responsible to the community
and the country.
This "Community Service" paper is designed to perform devotional services at the place we
feel safe in MCO situation. I feel I must be able to adapt to all situations and be able to deal
with the challenges of the era of globalization and socialization. It is hoped that through this
program, myself can leave a positive impact on the local community or globally to the
country.
When doing activity one, the main thing is to find references related to community social
services that are one of the requirements of the question. Apart from that, during the
assignment preparation period, so many new things are found on how to implement the
project in an unplanned period when other things happen on the specified date. Such
knowledge is very useful to be used as a legacy for students in the future. Advances in
5
technology have led to the loss of a spirit of volunteerism that was once so proud. But, are we
aware that the actual service to the community that we have inherited from time immemorial
is increasingly forgotten and lost along with the passage of time. There are many benefits that
can be gained from community service such as can strengthen friendship among human
beings, keep the body healthy because it produces sweat and can preserve the cultural heritage
of the ages.
The feel at that time is preoccupation and enjoyment will probably be doubled if the gentle
and weak exercise session. The Movement Control Order (MCO) aims to eradicate the Covid-
19 epidemic to more victims in the country. Based on the instructions issued, all educational
institutions were closed and private and government sector employees except 25 sectors
classified as important were also required to work from home. Now the MCO has been
extended for another two months due to an increase in the number of pandemic cases. Being
at home all the time, will definitely make us a little bored when faced with the same routine.
On social media, many people complain when they just wake up, eat and sleep all the time,
thus giving birth to weight worries during that period. Their reason for not being able to go
out to the gym, fitness center or to the park to jog as they did before. However, in fact, while
at home, you can still exercise to ensure that you stay fit.
Exercise is one of the effective measures can also help reduce muscle tension and stress. By
doing some type of light exercise at home, it can increase the production of hormones. We
will also feel relieved and calm. Among the exercise activities you can do is the type of
exercise AB. It is simple and straightforward and does not require any equipment. Exercise
can also improve fitness for a long time at home.
This is really a good experience for me to do the video. Order of movement control that
began to be implemented may have implications for the public not to mention less physical
movement that can be done such as recreation in the park or exercising in the gym. However,
this order does not mean that it restricts daily physical activity. In fact, there are many things
that can be done by just being in your own living room. For the country's health and fitness
celebrity, Kevin Zahri, he is no stranger to organizing physical exercise classes through social
media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. He has also carried out various activities
that focus on exercise and physical health on social media such as the "Let's Lose Weight
Challenge" program in 2019. Following the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic which required
6
social imprisonment measures to be taken as well as control of the movement of each
individual, Kevin began conducting a live broadcast session of "Live Home Workout" for 30
minutes for the second time this week on his Facebook and Instagram pages.. According to
him, this relaxing exercise program has received a good response from the audience and also
received feedback from viewers from all over the place such as Singapore, Brunei and the
United States (U.S.). He is a role model for me to do this video as a community service
activity to support our society.
Throughout the process of teaching aerobic and regular exercise, I found that recording was
not an easy thing to complete. The recorder needs to think clearly by recording well and
appropriate to the current situation. I also need to always point to the perception of the camera
so that the film results are good and satisfactory. The focus of the community service project
is to motivate people to do regular exercise in the MCO time at home. Both of these works are
well completed.
After finishing recording this community service assignment, I found that the voice of the
person being recorded is difficult to accept well into the camera gadget. I co-prepared the
video in Movie Maker and found that this was not an easy task as we both rarely use this
software. Therefore, I feel I need to touch and regularly use software such as Movie Maker so
that the work will be better in the future.
Activity 4
Answering essay question
The way I’m going to convince my friends to join to carry out this community service
project is explain them about the PoDs life to convince them to volunteer help them. A person
with a disability can be defined as a person with a physical disability or injury or mental
disability that has a long-term effect on his or her ability to perform normal daily activities.
These groups have a large spectrum or type and there are certain categories in determining
their disability. People with disabilities cannot live perfect lives because of the shortcomings
they face. Despite the many shortcomings they face, these disabled people should not be side-
lined because they are also able to contribute to us in particular and the country in general.
Exactly the proverb, do not look at the feathers, do not see the appearance where being fair is
7
a pure value that must be applied by every member of society. Therefore, it is appropriate for
us to identify efforts that can be deployed to help the disabled (OKU) to live a better life.
The main initiative in helping the disabled is to open the eyes of the community to the
privileges of the disabled. We must change the stigma of a society that thinks that the disabled
are only troublesome and cannot contribute anything towards goodness. This tapered
perception should be changed where the disabled need proper guidance and appropriate to
their situation before they understand something and are able to learn something that can give
value to themselves. For example, national Paralympic sprinter Mohamad Ridzuan Puzi, who
won a gold medal at the Rio de Janeiro Paralympic Games 2016 is proof of the ability of this
group to be able to make the country famous in the eyes of the world. Similarly, other national
Paralympic athletes such as Mohamad Ziyad Zolkefli and Abdul Latif Romly who managed
to break the world record in the tournament they participated in. May the success of this
country's Paralympic athletes be the best example to the community that these disabled people
are able to stand as high as normal human beings and physically and mentally perfect.
Another effort that can be made to help the disabled get a place in the community is by
providing educational opportunities and skills training that suits their abilities. Today, the
term autism is the main topic of conversation among parents as the rate of children facing this
privilege is increasing. Mental development-related disabilities can be treated and have the
potential to recover and be able to perform normal activities like a normal human being.
These groups only need face-to-face education at a certain period according to their level of
ability. Therefore, the government's efforts in introducing specialized majors in special
education in educational institutions should be supported as a measure to help this group. The
private sector can also operate therapeutic and learning centers for the disabled where it is the
need of society today. The corporation should also contribute to the initiative in providing
education to the disabled as their corporate social responsibility.
In addition, the government can also encourage the community and government agencies to
take the disabled as employees in their respective companies and agencies. For example, the
chain of fast food restaurants in Malaysia has already taken the disabled as their employees in
certain branches and proves that these people are able to work to support themselves.
Employers need to provide training to their employees in sign language skills so that they can
communicate and hire employees from the dumb and deaf. That string, we as customers must
8
also have skills in sign language to communicate with employees in the restaurant so that it
does not become like So, now is the right time to make sign language a topic that must be
learned in our country's education module so that society today and The next generation will
be a society that is highly capable of communication and able to appreciate and lift the
disabled together towards global progress.
Finally, in celebrating the disabled, the government especially needs to provide OKU-
friendly infrastructure so that they can easily move from one destination to another. Facilities
such as OKU seating, special OKU parking and elevators in every building whether public or
private building can help facilitate the disabled to work or take advantage of public facilities.
Therefore, the community needs to be sensitive and aware of the presence of the disabled
around them and always offer help if they need it. The attitude of using elevators in shopping
malls which is becoming a polemic of society today should be given priority for the disabled,
the elderly and those who bring small children. We as physically perfect human beings need
to have a pure mind and be grateful for the blessings we get by always giving priority to
facilities such as parking and elevators for the use of people like the disabled especially. This
situation should be an example and can be used as an advertisement in the mass media in
applying the value of tolerance to the needy in the minds of our society today.
Ultimately, various efforts can be manifested in helping the disabled so that they are able
to stand on their own two feet and sit as high as each member of society. In my opinion, every
life born on this earth has the potential and purpose that can benefit anyone. It is up to us to
find suitable ways and functions to be applied and introduced to the disabled, especially so
that the common benefits can be achieved. All parties play an important role in defending the
fate and future of the disabled because they also have the right to succeed and feel valued by
the family, community and country. I believe Malaysians know the proverb, the same weight
is borne, the same light is carried which means consensus in doing something and both bear
hardships and ease.
