Summary of Homeless by Choice

HOMELESS BY CHOICE by Mislina Mustaffa .

After reading a part of the book "Homeless by choice" , my perspective for the homeless is totally different. First of all, not all the homeless is negative people. Some of them are on their own choice. They sold all their belonging just to be travel all the places. It is rare situations that happens because the Malaysian's people does not have an open minded about homeless by own choice. In my opinion, being a homeless can make us discover more about new things that we cannot get from house. Last but not least, new experience , meet any type of people make us more know about the reality of life.

For me, the lecturer is very nice to the students. They treat us like their own children. Give support and time for us. Not like others that talking about the independent of study. It is strongly wrong. Our lecturer always have time to help us I academic. Lastly, the environment of UTM itself . it is eco-campus. I love the nature surrounding which is far away from the busiest town.

Q3: What is important to you? What is one issue in current events or social justice that you care about deeply? Why?

A3: Issue that is important to me for nowadays is transgender. What we could see, Malaysia has given a permission to the man who wanted to be a woman. For me, it is not fair that man get a license to become like woman. This is because, me as a woman feel our safety is insecure. Why I said like that is for example, when we as a original woman enter the public toilet, we do not have our own privacy more. The “woman” will say that they can enter the ladies toilet just because they are being a “woman”. Even though they are woman for now, but we as an original woman of course worried that the “woman” will harm us. Not include the man who trying to become the woman. So, woman nowadays need to be careful about the safety.
