Hygiene is the rules of keeping yourself and thinks around you clean, in order to prevent disease and maintain health. For instance, high standards of hygiene are essential when you are preparing food. Some people told that hygiene just about the cleanliness in themselves.

There are personal hygiene and surrounding hygiene, personal hygiene involved those who practiced by an individual do care for once body and well being through cleanliness. To get a healthy body, an individual must know the ways to prevent from illness.
Nowadays, in Malaysia, there are multiracial such as Malay, Indian, Chinese and others. Each races had different perception in cares of their bodies. For example that we can see in Malays, they do not take serious about their personal hygiene. This is because their parents do not teach about personal hygiene in detail from childhood. For Indians, certain of them told that personal hygiene are not important in their life. This is also because their religion do not encourage about hygiene routines. As for Chinese, many of them are hygienic because their parents had taught them to care about their personal hygiene to get a healthy body. The article by Timothy Edmod Last about Personal Hygiene in Better Health Channel had written that personal hygiene practices had benefits for health and social. For health benefit are when you keeping your body clean were vital in combating and preventing illness. Washing your hand can prevent the spread of germs from one person to another or from one part your body to another. Flossing and brushing your teeth can reduce the likelihood of oral and other diseases.
For social benefit, Timothy Edmod Last said, in many cultures, poor personal hygiene is considered offensive or a sigh of illness. Caring for your body regularly body odor and improve your personal appearance, subsequently improving other 's perceptions of you. This is particularly in situations in which proper etiquette is expected or requires, such as at work or school. Good personal hygiene is also helpful in improving your own self-image. This article had written by Alison Datko in July 26, 2010.
In conclusion, we must practicing proper hygiene in our life because it is important to our health mental health and helps us better. Each part of our body must be cleaned from dirty can be made our bodies get diseases and bad bacteria can damage our beautiful skin. Men and women must clean their bottom bodies. It was important because that was our intimate areas. A good personal hygiene can describe your self-image.

2.0 METHODOLOGY
2.1 Subjects/Respondents A group of respondents were chosen according to the project constraints. The scope of respondents is only students from Johor Matriculation College (JMC) with different gender for this project. The research analyzed based on the objectives of the research. We have chosen a different gender that consist male and female students in order to complete this research. The respondents were divided into 10 males and 40 females to observe a general trend of the answered questions that will make a total of respondents is 50 of them. We make a decision to not focus on the races or courses of this college students because we want to achieve our objectives research. Therefore, we have chosen the students randomly in JMC and from this chose, we can see the students ' routines in their personal hygiene.

2.2 Instruments The questionnaires were distributed to collect student 's perceptions towards their daily routine in personal hygiene. A set of questionnaire containing 22 questions were divided into three sections based on three objectives of the research made. The questionnaire has different question-types such as yes-no-options and open-ended. The questionnaire was arranged according to objectives of this research based on options answer given. So we can easily know the answer based on the questionnaire.

2.3 Research Procedures The assignment was given on the first week of Semester 2. We have given roughly 12weeks/3months to complete this assignment. The data of this report were collected and gathered from 25November 2013.After that, background information was constructed first followed by definition of key terms, objectives, statements of problems, questionnaires, findings and discussion and finally conclusion. The questionnaires were sent and distributed in week 6(30Dec-05Jan2014) after being approved. The questionnaires were collected on that week also. The respondents were given at least a day to answer all the questionnaires. The questionnaires were distributed randomly at various locations such as tutorial rooms, in lecture hall and in hostels.

3.0 DATA ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION
3.1 Percentage Of Teenagers Who Diligently Practice Personal Hygiene In Daily Life. Figure 1 Based on Figure 1, 10% of the students in JMC are practicing personal hygiene in their daily life, while 90% of the students in JMC do not practicing personal hygiene. The reason why JMC’s students do not care about the personal hygiene is because of the lack of time to think about their own personal hygiene. Almost ¾ days they have spent for study and also do assignment that are given by the lecturers’. Besides that, students do not care about their personal hygiene because they thought that personal hygiene just a silly things but they do not recognize that when they not practicing personal hygiene, it will effects their own health. They also can easily get disease, this is because bacteria and viruses are surround them. They also did not realize the importance of personal hygiene. Usually, the person who did not practicing hygiene will have difficulty in relationship with others. We can see that 9 out of 10 students in JMC are less in practicing personal hygiene in their life.

3.2 The Importance Of Proper Hygiene Care In Daily Life Based On Gender. Figure 2 According to Figure 2 we can see from the female studentsthat most female emphasize the importance of hygiene in their daily life with 39% while male with only 15% who emphasize hygiene in their life. Most female said that they woke up early in the morning and tidy up their bed before go to bathroom. Female students are really care about the hygiene because they think the hygiene can describe their personality in their own way. While the male students are lack in emphasize hygiene. Usually the hardworking male students only care and emphasize about hygiene. They can be like female students who are really care about the hygiene. From this, we can see that female are more care about their hygiene. But unfortunately, there are still have some of the male students did not practice hygiene routine at 61%. It because the lack of awareness. They think that the hygiene is just a small matter and do not take it seriously. For the male students who emphasize hygiene is only

Figure 3 Based on figure 3, we can see that 13% of students JMC have good relationship between hygiene routine with their physical health. Then it followed by 87% of students JMC who do not have good relationship between hygiene routine with their physical health. Most of the JMC students said that they are lazy to care about their personal hygiene because it just wasted their time. They have to complete their assignment and focus on study. For example that we can see, one of student JMC said that he would like to finish up his assignment rather than take time to bath. From this, we can see most students did not take seriously about their personal hygiene. Furthermore, most of students JMC do not care about their healthy product such as shampoo they used in their life. Usually, they just bought it and not know whether it suitable for their body or not. From this, we can see that JMC’s students are not properly had good relationship between hygiene routine with their physical health.

4.0 CONCLUSION
4.1 Summary and Conclusion From the research that we did from our topic which is “Personal Hygiene”, we can conclude our topic through our 3 objectives .Firstly, through this objective the percentage of teenagers who are practicing personal in daily life among JMC students. From their opinion, we conclude that the students are not properly practicing personal hygiene in daily life. Through our second objective, which gender were emphasized the importance of hygiene in their daily routine. We can see that female students are more emphasize towards hygiene routine compare to male students. It is because female students are more concerned about their hygiene to maintain a healthy life in JMC, while the male students do not care about hygiene because it just a side routines. From our third objectives, the relationship between hygiene routine and their physical health. We can conclude that less than ¼ from the JMC students does not really have a good relationship between hygiene routine and their physical health. There were many of the students will be easy to fall sick. As conclusion, students must practice personal hygiene in their daily life to make life more brightness in the future.

4.2 Recommendation/Suggestions Johor Matriculation College should make a talk about “The Important of Personal Hygiene”. From the talk, students can gain more knowledge about the importance of the personal hygiene in their daily life. Besides being a student, he should had an awareness in himself that the personal hygiene can give him a bad impact if he did not practicing it. Next, the lecturers should have and show a good practicing in personal hygiene. It is because lecturers acted as role model to the students. So, students will follow their lecturers’ behavior about personal hygiene. Lastly, parents also play a role in practicing their children about personal hygiene since childhood. In conclusion JMC students, lecturers and parents had their own role and they should play their role in the better ways.
