“Where to eat tonight” is no longer a trendy question for
University Malaya students.
Contemporary students are asking, “where to shower tonight is rather important than food.”
However, questioning the crisis of water has evolved due to the visitation of US President Barack Obama, “will Obama brings some water for us to shower?”

So today I proudly told mum that President Obama will come
to my University, my mum stop a few seconds and replied, “who is Obama?” I was
like… okay, fine, nothing. Hence we can see that, how the popularity effect has
cause to our heuristic process of mind thinking.
Admiration to the highly media exposure leader is almost
similar with admire to the celebrity star, it is just one person favourite in
who and what to adore of. We must always question the reason for why we admire
on some popularity, maybe their song, dance or talent. So it works the same
way, for those who admires and hope to even peep him a seconds, do they know for
what reason Obama come to Malaysia? And why he chose to see the so called
future leader from South-East Asean?
Obviously the future of a country is decided in so called
future leader hands, as if the future leader couldn’t get rid from the
admiration to famous idol, when someday these leaders has become the country important
decision makers, so it will be the time for Obama to show his influences on
these leader. It is how the human heuristic mindset’s work, a higher popularity
leader must be good even best! The after effect of admiration will make people losing
their conscious and reasoning in making decision, yet we should be careful.
On the other sides, there is another group of students are
ready to protest in front of the University Malaya gate when Obama is reaching.
Maybe many of us will say, why are these students so free to protest this and
that, however for them, they’re those who are really in consent to the future
of the country, just refer to Japan, for why, Japan not completely signing the
TPPA agreement when Obama just visited to Japan last few days? It was the
clearly motive we can see for why Obama visit to few Asean countries, to
cooperate with some Asean countries in boasting both country economy.
Thus for those so called future leader, don’t easily get
your eyes blinded when the social media are worshiping the goodness of Obama,
stay conscious on the words but not his popularity. For those who are still
admiring so much and hope to peep president, please think twice of the reason
for you to adore, but not just solely fascinated by popularity.
Anyway, one obvious changes has Obama brings to University
Malaya was a new path for jogger to jog in UM(which mean the road for cars
which not much benefits the student), that’s all.
It slightly proved that the question asked by the attendance was disappointed again with those pre-arranged question or it really think by what so called "future leader" that have been selected.
