INTRODUCTIONWe have got our task which was given by our lecturer , Madam Hariati Ibrahim
entitled OBSERVATION ON SOCIAL ILLS AT KTM/LRT/PUTRA/MONORAIL STATION.
We have done our researches at four different location of KTM/LRT/PUTRA/
MONORAIL. The station are:
1.MID VALLEY KTM STATION, SEPUTEH, KUALA LUMPUR.
2. BANK NEGARA KTM STATION, JALAN DATO’ ONN, KUALA LUMPUR.
5
3. KUALA LUMPUR SENTRAL KTM STATION, BRICKFIELDS, KUALA LUMPUR.
4. KLCC LRT STATION, JALAN AMPANG, KUALA LUMPUR.
We have done our educational visit on Saturday , 23rd July 2011 and 30th July 2011.In
our educational visit, besides doing an observation, we have distribute questionnaires to be
answer by the people around the KTM/LRT/PUTRA/MONORAIL station .We also take pictures
that related to social ills.
From our research, we have observe that many social ills occur in the
KTM/LRT/PUTRA/MONORAIL such as smoking, coupling and others. So ,we think that need
to do something because the social ills problems cannot be solve except we done something to
curbed the problem. This report is being made to discover and discuss the social ills problems, to
6
see the phenomenon that happen in the society, to know the cause and effect of the social ills
problem, and finally to curbed and solve the problems wisely. We have referred to our lecturer
Madam Hariati Ibrahim for explaning further on our task and also to the public by distributing
the questionnaires to be answer. Other than that, we also refer to the social web such as
www. wikipedia .org/ to gain additional information.
In this report, we will explained you about the problems that occur at the
KTM/LRT/PUTRA/MONORAIL STATION, by adding pictures and some graphical statistics
based on the researches. The explanation will start with our first journey which locate at MID
VALLEY KTM STATION end up with BANK NEGARA KTM STATION. We will explain
further in body content of the research about the problems that we have seen in each of the
location and the questionnaires will be discuss by used the help of graphical statistic presentation
.Last but not least, we will conclude this topic from all the discussion that has been done in the
body content of the research.

THE CONTENT OF THE
RESEARCHWHAT IS SOCIAL ILLS?
There are lots of terms that can be used to define what is actually the meaning of social ills.
1. A social problem is a social condition that a segment of society views as harmful to
members of society and in need of remedy.
2. Social ills are matters which directly affect a person or many members of a society and
are considered to be problems and it also can be related to moral values or both.
3. A social problem is a condition that at least some people in a community view as being
undesirable. Everyone would agree about some social problems, such as murders and
traffic deaths. Other social problems may be viewed as such by certain groups of people.
Although social problems take many forms, they all share two important elements: an
objective social condition and a subjective interpretation of that social condition. The objective
element of a social problem refers to the existence of a social condition. We become aware of
social conditions through our own life experiences, through the media, and through education.
We see the homeless, hear gunfire in the streets, and see battered women in hospital emergency
rooms. We read about employees losing their jobs as business downsize and factories close. In
television news reports we see the anguished faces of parents whose children have been killed by
violent youth.
The subjective element of a social problem refers to the belief that a particular social condition
is harmful to society, or to a segment of society, and that it should and can be changed. We know
that crime, drug addiction, poverty, racism, violence, and pollution exist. These social conditions
are not considered social problems, however, unless at least a segment of society believes these
conditions diminish the quality of human life.
8
By combining these objective and subjective elements, we arrive at the following definition:
A social problem is a social condition that a segment of society views as harmful to members of
society and in need of remedy.
Teenagers who play loud music in a public park obviously do not view it as a problem,
but some other people may consider it an undesirable social condition. Some non smokers view
smoking as an undesirable social condition that should be banned or restricted in public
buildings.
Every newspaper is filled with stories about undesirable social conditions. Examples
include crime, violence, drug abuse and environmental problems .Such social problems can be
found at the local, state, national and international levels.
SOCIAL ILL PROBLEMS?
From our educational visit, we have discover what is the social ills problems that occur at
KTM/LRT/PUTRA/MONORAIL station especially at the four location that has been chosen by
us. The social ills are:
LITTERING- Small pieces of rubbish such as paper, cans and bottles, that people have left
lying in a public places.
SMOKING- The activity or habit of smoking cigarettes.
BEGGING- A person who lives by asking people for money or food.
COUPLING- A Pairs of men and women declare in a relationship together.
9
OBSERVATIONKTM/LRT/PUTRA/MONORAIL stations also have their own rules and regulations.
We have takes a photo concern to their rules and regulations, it can be proved in the photo 1(see
in the appendix _ ) that KTM/LRT/PUTRA/MONORAIL have the prohibition. While our group
doing the observation, we can found that the public have broken the rules that has be noticed at
each station of KTM/LRT/PUTRA/MONORAIL such as littering , smoking , begging , and
coupling.
LITTERING:
As we know in public area, LRT station , streets , public building government has
been provided by dustbin where we can throw the rubbish safely. But what happened in KLCC,
KL SENTRAL and BANK NEGARA station was unbelievable. As we can see rubbish are
littered everywhere but not in the appropriate place, it can be show in the photo 2 (see in the
appendix _ ). In the photo 3 and 4 (see in the appendix _ ),the dustbin is empty, but still there are
rubbish and bottles under the benches and floor, on the rail and even on the street.
Why this ills still happened even government supplied adequate dustbin? Maybe some
of them do not have awareness self and they think it would wasted their time going to put the
rubbish in the right places. We also think, that our society should be aware of signs that do not
litter at KTM/LRT/PUTRA/MONORAIL. So, by this sign people will be more concerned in
caring for their surroundings.
SMOKING:
Smoking is one of the most crucial problem that occur in Malaysia. Government also
has put a sign where smoking where smoking in the public area are prohibited. Yet, there are
some people still repeat the faulty. They easily smoke in front of the public area. There are some
factors which lead they to smoke, where they are influenced by their friends and may be they are
stress. Other than that, smoking give a big impact to the passive smokers. The passive smokers
will breath in the smoke and cause them to get a chronic diseases. The smokers should stop
10
smoking front of the public and they should behave themselves. In every public
area ,government has provide many signboard “NO SMOKING” at the public area. The smokers
should know that smoking is very dangerous for them and also the passive smokers. In a simple
word ,Passive smokers experienced greater risk and percentage to die than the smokers. Last but
not least, smoking also say that smoking is harmful for human being. this can be shown in hadith
Sahih Bukhari:
Volume 7(Book 7),Number 582 Sahih Bukhari
Narrated Abu Huraira
The Prophet said, ”There is no disease that Allah has created except that he has created its
treatment or cure”
BEGGING:
Begging is the one of the list prohibition of KTM/LRT/PUTRA/MONORAIL as we have show
in the photo 1. The beggars with her baby sitting at the streets with a bowl fill with some coins.
This happen because some of them lack of property, homeless and lazy to find the jobs.
However, Malaysia has provided many job opportunities for the citizen. Begging is not the only
solution for the beggar to find the money and support their family. Begging is the one of the
social ills that need to be avoid because the beggars distract people who walks at the streets.
COUPLING:
At KLCC LRT STATION also we can see some people who are coupling. They unashamedly
hugging in front of public in LRT station. As we know, coupling is immoral in front of others.
Religious education must be boosted because every religion here in Malaysia teaches their
followers to be good. Religious education also teaches us moral values which will set up a
standard way of living and to differentiate we as a muslim should know the socialize between
men and women.
11
FACTORS OF SOCIAL ILLS
What is the cause and factor affecting the social ills?
According to Dr. M. B. Dass , the environment around the youth and they themselves are
influencing them to bear the fruit of delinquency.
Parent’s fault or family background are one of the main causes of social ills that occur
among teenagers.
Other than that, lack of awareness. This means that they lack awareness and exposure to
religious thoughts. Nowadays, we can see youth practicing free relationship between
men and women.
Lack of education is one of the causes of social ills. Ministry of Education has provide
syllabus for the primary and secondary school students in order to instill a good
behaviour or attitude and civic knowledge. We can say that the person who involved in
social ills problems is maybe the one who has low education.
Influence from peers is also the cause of social ills. Most of the public are influence by
peers when doing something. This is because they always like to try something new and
not think wisely before doing something.
Last but not least, lack of moral values. Nowadays, people have low rate of moral values.
This is because they do not care about others. Moral values need to be instill in each of
individual to prevent us from involve with social ills.
12
EFFECTS OF SOCIAL ILLS
What is the effect of social ills?
There are several effects of social ills:
1.Bad interpretation of tourist
Malaysia is one of the country that have a high number of tourist. Tourism sector
would be affected when the social ills spread borderless. This means that bad interpretation from
tourism cause the tourism sector fall and the economy of Malaysia will be decrease.
2.Non-Educated Generation
Social ills is just like a small crime and it will produce non-educated generation. Why
we say that non educated generation will be produced? This is because, they have the knowledge
that has been taught by their teacher in the school but they ignore it and not using the knowledge
wisely. This show that even though we have a generation that have a smart brain, but the social
ills keep increasing from years to years because of this “non-educated generation”
3.Distract the environment
Environment is the source for us to get the oxygen for breathing. Healthy environment
has been affected by this social ills problem. How social ills affect the environment? We know
that the environment will be polluted when there was a littering. Littering is one of the main
social ills that give big effect to the environment. Public does not have awareness and does not
care about the environment. Environment will be distract even we just litter a small rubbish. It
also can cause the place to be dirty and will make you feel uncomfortable.
4.Damage the Public property
13
Public property is provided by the government to make the users easier using the public
transport at the station. Citizen should take care the public property well and not to damage it.
This is because to ensure the public property long lasting.

From figure 4,based on the graph, it shows that influence from family problems leads the
highest than other causes. Lack of education is 24% while lack of self awareness is 16%.Influence from
peers and no answer have the same percentage which is about 12%.This is because, nowadays parents
are more prefer to work and find the money than care about their children. So, the children spend the
time more with their friends to tell all the problems. Lack of moral value sticks the lowest than others at
8%,because parents did not teach their children while they young and how to distinguish between right
and wrong things.

with the problem of social ills.
Adding the duty of enforcement.

19
CONCLUSION From the whole observation, we can conclude that social ills is one of the major
problems that held in our country. The social ills problems which include littering, smoking,
begging and coupling need to be solved wisely. Each of individual in Malaysia which means the
citizen should give cooperation in order to reduce the social ills problem. There are many method
can be use to solve the problem such as making a campaign which involved all the citizens
actively. Besides that, we can also provide education for the society to prevent them from
involved in social ills. Last but not least, We need to control the social ills which occur at the
KTM/LRT/PUTRA/MONORAIL station to ensure the public transport at the station safe and
secure for the users.
