Cuti- Cuti Melaka

2010-12-26T10:08:00.010+08:00

Tengah beratur nak naik Menara Taming Sari

I just had a great time on Christmas Day. I went on a trip of what we call, the 'indoctrination' of true Melaka. After wifey keep complaining that i never been to any interesting place in melaka since we got married, i decided to do a 'harakiri' by going to Melaka city to immerse in its beauty on Christmas Day. My greatest fear of going to Melaka is its countless traffic lights along Lebuh AMJ (heading to Melaka city) My guess was right. The traffic was really bad when i reached the outskirt of Melaka. Upon reaching the bridge near Mahkota Parade i saw a long and slow moving cars, i detour-ed by taking Jonker Road way. To be honest, that was my first time driving through Jonker Walk Road ever since i grew up in Melaka. During my yesteryears (like 15 years ago), Jonker Walk was not like what it is today. It was narrow and inefficient small road where there were many Baba Nyonya stalls by the roadside. It was not a tourist attraction then.

So i tried my luck finding parking spot and Alhamdulillah, we managed to park our car in front of the Melaka River Cruise entrance. We walk like 500m to Menara Taming Sari and queued-up for not more than 30 minutes. Peoples were not that many so we didn't wait that long to queue. View from top was very nice. You can actually see Sumatera from the tower. Then, we hop on Melaka RiverCruise. Again, we didn't had to wait long to queue that time. Deep in my heart, Allah has made it easy for us today. Anyway, it took almost 40 minutes cruising Melaka river (RM10 per adult). Along the river, the buildings were beautifully painted and decorated. We also passed by Kg Morten, the traditional Portugese kampungs.

Cruising the Melaka river

After the cruise, we went to Medan Ikan Bakar Umbai to feast our starving tummy. Umbai is 8km from Melaka city. Despite boasting that i am 'orang Melaka', i never been to this place. Even my Sabahan friend, Shireen have been here before! Apparently, there are many medan ikan bakar around Pernu-Umbai. So, look for Medan Ikan Bakar Pernu. There are many stalls set-up at this place . My wife knows this one restaurant called Restoran Parameswara that serve really good ikan bakar delicacies. So we went there and thanks to school holidays/Christmas/habitual ikan bakar eater, it was full house. I had to wait at the table and waited until the patron finishes eating.

After wifey choosing sotong, ikan siakap, ketam and udang, we didn't wait that long to be served. SAYA PUNYA TUHAN! The ikan siakap was really FABOLOUS-GILER-NAK MAMPOS ok !

Look at the very tempting Ikan Siakap Tiga Rasa! (do not be fooled by Adam in this pic. He turned cranky after this shot and i had to finish my food very fast!)

And i think that's all for my Melaka trip. After kenyang, balik tidur lah!

House! House! House! Can i afford one?

2010-12-06T12:11:00.013+08:00

Some of you might wonders why on earth i chose this topic to rant this time. The reason is simple: I would love to own a dream house which can cater my needs and suitability. The recent moving out from Denai Alam (DA) proves that to be there is a need to own a house.

My ideal home is of course landed property. The DA home was ideal for me, at least (I will not ask for more!). But since i had to move to Bkt Subang, which is a little bit smaller in size, i totally understand why most of DA's residents were actually from Bkt Subang. The car porch barely fit in 2 cars. The stupid pillars in the middle of the porch make life even more miserable. So, we usually park one of the car outside.

Oh wait, I want to talk about the trend of rising properties' prices in MAJOR CITIES in Malaysia.

The recent article proves my point. Read here.

The recent check at landed properties price in Shah Alam shows that most of the housing were built to cater those who could afford monthly installments of at least RM1,800- RM2,000. Denai Alam just launched new project called Lavender and the price is RM700,000 and above. Mind you, the houses have not been built as yet but the price is ridiculous!

Imbalanced society

Houses should be affordable by the masses. The increase of properties price may affect society in long term. The imbalance of society structure will create a long-term problems such as crimes and economic disparity. Most developers build houses in limited numbers and put up a very expensive price for the riches. A development must be inclusive all type of society. In my opinion, a housing project must reflect the true picture of society. For example, the riches, middle-classes, and low-earners should be 1 area vs one exclusive area for the riches.

At the same time, i do not deny the reason why people invest in property is because of its potential to appreciate and some people invest to earn extra income. No doubt about that. However, things got worse when the developer and the speculators speculate. The implication is far-reaching because it will influence the price of other properties as well. I applaud the recent move by Bank Negara Malaysia for capping subsequent purchase up to 70% of the housing loans. This will curb the speculation and escalating price of property in Malaysia. I am true believer that the properties will go bust soon. We are following the same trend in the US where the properties price was skyrocketing and easy-credit by the banks.

Jangan sombong
I have a friend who now somewhere not in Malaysia. Sent that person SMS and messages to ask for some favour. But never bother to reply. Fine. I suppose that person was busy or maybe hibernating or something.

Then, on other days i IM-ed that person as usual. Also no reply. As if i appeared invisible to that person.

Ok, that's it. I think some people out there are born with that. I cannot fathom why some people are just being that 'courteous'. Is it because of where that person is now?

Sigh...janganlah macam tu.

Life After ZICO

2010-11-10T09:55:00.010+08:00

What have i been up to after Zico?

Ok. I have to admit that it has been a while since my last post. I was so occupied (lazy actually) to update and ramble about my life after ZICO.

I left ZICO a week before Aidil Fitri. On my last day, i bid farewell to friends and colleagues who have been a part of me for the past 3 years. I made friends from all walk of life from the despatches, secretaries and to the Don himself.

I am now pursuing LLM in Corporate Law in UiTM. After much thought, prayers and solat istikharah, i decided i should take this path. Experience in corporate exercises have taught me many things: Diligence, accuracy and perseverance. Some of my work were in the news and i personally feel proud that i was a part of that corporate exercise. Definitely the feelings were difference from my litigation colleagues who argued in court and won their case. The gruelling hours in meeting the deadlines and the exposure i had were indispensable. Now i have to apply all those knowledge into my study and later to use them as a real example when i start teaching. Insyallah.

Ever since i left practice, there was a time when boredom sets in. I find it quite awkward adjusting from normal "routine-go-through-stupid-traffic-jam at NKVE-Sprint highway" to just wake up in the morning and prepare Adam for nursery at 8am and later go back to continue my sleep. More often than not, i will be awake by 9am. Finally i can do my favourite things to do in the morning, reading newspaper and have a good roti canai at restaurant. *Wink

So, my classes already started in July. Took 3 subjects this semesters (all 9 subjects throughout my studies). For my Legal Research and Methodology, we were required to prepare a proposal for a research (not the full research itself) and myself and my other 2 colleagues, Ain and Hafiz chose a topic on Political Party Defection or Lompat Parti. I will deal with this topic in separate post.

I will be doing this course for 3 semesters. Most of my subjects revolves around my favourite topic: Corporate (hence the specialization). Barring any unforeseen circumstances, i will complete my course by December 2011. Insyaallah.

Moving out to new place
Yes, we have to move to new place. Apparently, my current house has been sold and the new owner wishes to increase the rent to RM1100. Currently we are paying RM850 per month and such increment will definitely affect our household cash flow. Furthermore i am not working and relying to my nominal allowance. We thought RM1100 is exceptionally high so we decided to move out and fortunately we found a house (smaller than Denai Alam) with RM800 rental. A bit smaller but enough for our small family. Our condo in Subang Andaman is ready in 2 years time and we looking forward to live in our own place call home. Yay!

Tenaga Pengajar Muda UiTM
I wish not to talk much on this. Experience in dealing with the relevant departments within UiTM was a pain. I was penniless for about 2 months and i am fortunate to have wife and family to seek help from. Imagine those who are not well-off. I can't think any possible reason except bureaucracy and red-tape. If i have already fulfilled all necessary requirements to do this TPM, rightfully the relevant departments should reciprocate. So, to you who are interested to take up this scheme, my advise is please grab this chance. BUT, make sure you have enough saving to pay your bills for at least 3 months. Hey, my friend Cartaz has not gotten her UiTM allowance since her resignation in July! Imagine that!

My family as source of my strength
All the above were not possible without my family. My wife has been on my side through thick and thin ever since i decided to leave practice. My wife understands the difficulties i was facing and lent her shoulder when i needed it the most. My superboy Adam, is now already 1 year old and started to walk. I think he needs more time before he has the confidence to walk on his own. Anyway, he was just been discharged from hospital last week where he spent 6 days there. Prior to his hospitalisation, he had a roller-coaster fever for 2 weeks and a night before he was admitted, his temperature reached 41 degree! So, we 'checked-in' at DEMC Shah Alam and our fear that it was leukemia because the lymphocytes counts were high in his blood. Alhamdulillah, after second test, the doctor confirmed it was viral fever. Relatives and friends visited him and some of them offered their well-wishes via phone and sms. Thanks to all!

I guess that's all for now. Until next time, wassalam.

Good bye

2010-08-02T14:12:00.003+08:00

I will be leaving the place i call home since 3 years ago. I grew up to be a better man and i am indebted to it.

I still remember the first time i came for my interview, little did i know it was adventurous journey till today. To me, this place was many firsts in my life. My first real job, my first salary, my playground, my first baby was born during these time,my first car, first marriage (no subsequent marriage of course!), and many more.

Thanks to this place, i have more confident to discover new world and experience.

Thanks Zaid Ibrahim & Co... you are always in my heart.

boleh tak kau jangan berlagak

2010-04-28T16:01:00.002+08:00

kau nak tukar kereta ke, lunch kat hotel itu ke, hotel sini ke, nak pegi oversea ke , keep it to yourself lah.

toksah nak announce kat facebook kalau dgn niat untuk berlagak.

sigh.

ps-sorry, tengah tensen keje. kalau ada sesapa terasa, ada aku kesah?

Din Beramboi.

2010-04-05T10:30:00.002+08:00

Pagi 8.30am 2 April 2010. Aku tengah meredah kesesakan jalanraya ke tempat kerja. Apabila radio mengatakan Din Beramboi meninggal dunia, aku terkejut. Patutlah Era FM lain sikit hari tersebut. Lagu-lagu pun rentak slow dan sayu je.

Aku terkenang semula ketika zaman sekolah aku. Zaman Din Beramboi di radio THR dan Majalah Ujang. Dia juga pernah merakamkan Radio Sirap Seremban (kalau tak silap) dalam bentuk kaset.Dulu aku pernah ada kaset tu, tapi dah hilang.

Bakat lawaknya memang semula jadi. Bahan lawak lawaknya selalu menjadi perbualan aku dan kawan2 segila aku seperti Batod dan Farez. Rancangan Ah-Ha di TV3 dulu memang tak pernah miss kerana aku suka tengok Din Beramboi membuat lawak. Biarlah orang kata lawak dia lawak kurang hajar dan merapu, tapi bagi aku , dia tetap best.

Setiap pagi aku selalu mendengarkan Drama Sebabak dan Sawancara di Era.fm. AKu bukak radio Era pun pasal nak gelak sorang2 pagi-pagi pegi keje. Aku siap rekod lagi segmen Drama Sebabak kat handphone aku dan dengar balik sorang-sorang. Lepas habis segmen tu, aku terus tukar Sinar FM nak dengar lawak Sallih Yaacob plak. Tapi, kini itu semua akan berubah. Tiada lagi Drama Sebabak di Era. Tak akan ada pengganti sehebat Din Beramboi.

Kenapa aku tulis pasal din Beramboi pun aku tak tau. Mungkin disebabkan aku dibesarkan dengan mendengar lawak-lawak merapu dia. Dari zaman Pujaan Radio Sirap sehinggalah ke radio ERA.

Aku betul-betul rasa kehilangan pelawak pagi2 aku ke tempat kerja.Semoga roh arwah dicucuri rahmat. Al Fatihah.

Pelacur politik

2010-03-04T10:29:00.002+08:00

Seorang demi seorang ahli Parlimen/ADUN Pakatan Rakyat keluar meninggalkan parti.

Aku gelarkan mereka Pelacur Politik. Sama lah kalau sebelum 16 September 2008 berlaku (di mana kononnya beberapa MP BN akan lompat parti)..mereka tetap pelacur politik. Mereka melacurkan maruah dan kepercayaan pengundi dengan melompat parti. Aku tak pernah berharap 16 September tu berlaku kerana ia akan menjadi precedent kepada generasi akan datang. Asal tak suka parti je, keluar parti? Kalau keluar parti dan adakan pilihanraya semula takpelah. Tapi pelacur-pelacur ni tak tahu malu masih merasakan pengundi hendakkan mereka walaupun menjadi seorang wakil rakyat BEBAS.

Semoga benda sama tidak berlaku di dalam Parti PAS. Biarlah ia berlaku kepada PKR/DAP sahaja. Biar rakyat melihat siapa benar-benar ikhlas memperjuangkan aspirasi rakyat atau hanya memperjuangkan tembolok perut sendiri.

My friend Eekmal might be upset with my posting (or unlikely he has time to read this shit) but honestly, people on the ground are starting to believe the sodomy charges against his boss. Blame them not. They are just an observers. Go hang out with friends at mamak or kopitiam, more often than not they will ask this, "kau percaya ke dia buat?" or "asyik delay je, bila nak lawan?".

I just hope this will quickly. Prove yourself as an alliance that benefits the rakyat as a whole. That's all we want.

Just my no-cents worth.

Cerita Adam

2010-02-12T09:37:00.002+08:00

Lama giler aku tak update blog. Bukan apa, kadang-kadang rasa malas..kadang-kadang terlampau sibuk dengan kerja. Banyak corporate exercises berlaku sejak kebelakangan ini. Seperti biasa, department pun busy macam nak rak. Kesian adam dan mama adam; abah adam ni selalu sangat balik lambat. Sabarlah ye...doakanlah abah dapat durian runtuh hehee..tapi sejak kehadiran adam, rezeki makin bertambah. Syukur dengan bonus dan increment. Ada lah duit lebih sikit nak beli barang dapur. Abah pun tak payah ikat perut lagi.

Adam dah nak masuk 5 bulan tak lama lagi..kejap je masa berlalu. Dari hari pertama Adam lahir, sehinggalah sekarang. Aku tak pernah miss lagi perkara-perkara penting berkaitan Adam. Dari saat dia mula pandai senyum sehinggalah dah pandai berguling-guling atas katil (Pantang letak, terus nak pusing). Sekarang pun dia dah pandai tidur mengiring macam orang besar.

Kitaorg pun dah hantar Adam ke nursery berdekatan dengan rumah kami. Takde la isu-isu babysitter banyak complain pasal Adam selalu menangis etc. Lagipun, babysitter lama selalu sangat complaint. Kalau tak nak jaga, cakap je lah. Ni bagi alasan sakit perut lah, itu lah ini lah. Masa dia cakap dia tak nak jaga Adam, mama Adam menangis sedih. Ye lah, luluh la perasaan seorang ibu bila orang pun tak nak jaga Adam. Tapi, Allah Maha Pengasih lagi Maha Penyayang, tak lama kemudian, ada nursery baru akan dibuka di Denai Alam. Betul2 3 minit dari rumah kitaorang. Aku terus call nombor akak tu, dan alhamdulillah. Adam was the first one to enroll (with a special price lagi!). Aku bersyukur sangat...

Aku sangat seronok menjaga Adam di hari minggu. Tak pernah bosan. Cuma bila dia banyak songeh tu, sabar je lah. Secara keseluruhan, menjaga baby seperti Adam (yang nak selalu attention orang), memang mencabar.

Well, that's a brief stories about my Baby Adam. I end this posting with the following interesting story:

Some orders made by the Court are remarkably effective.

Consider this order made by Samuel King, District Court Judge in California on 18 February 1986.

His Honour was right royally fed up at that time.

He was having great difficulties empanelling juries for cases in his Court. Bad weather invariably prevented a large number of potential jurors from turning up on time or at all.

So his Honour passed the following order.

“I hereby order that it cease raining by Tuesday.” Tuesday was 18 February 1986.

The order proved extraordinarily effective. The rain stopped that day and California was struck with drought for the next 5 years.

The story does not end there.

Concerned that by some supernatural means he was the cause of the drought, his Honour attempted to undo the damage. At the very least the attempt could not hurt, he reasoned.

So on 27 February 1991, he passed the following order.

“I hereby rescind my order of February 18, 1986, and order that rain shall fall in California beginning February 27, 1991.”

4 inches of rain fell that day. For the next few days it rained non-stop. In fact it was the heaviest rain to fall on California for the previous 10 years.

His Honour commented that “This is proof-positive that we are a nation governed by law.”

His Honour is now a Senior District Court Judge in California. He no longer makes orders governing the weather.

Till then..Assalamualaikum

Utusan Meloya buat lawak bodoh

2009-12-28T12:26:00.002+08:00

A joke of the day- a cartoon by the least-read Malay newspaper in the country Utusan Meloya.

Ouch!

2009-12-21T09:39:00.002+08:00

We still have a long way to unity in Malaysia.

I take the above case just an isolated case. I am 100% most of us do not have this sentiment as we are working hard to achieve unity and prosperous country.

Ong Siang Ying and Liang Chua should be sent to BTN Course. I hope they will regret of their mistake and apologize. Nothing wrong with saying sorry.

1 Malaysia?? sigh...

Happy 1st Anniversary

2009-12-14T10:17:00.006+08:00

On 12th December 2008, i am officially a husband.

The memory of 'lafazkan' akad still lingers on my mind as if it just happened esterday. I still remember how my entourage was stopped by Abang Kamal to pay a toll before i see my bride. Hahaha

And also i still remember my uncle performed silat in Melaka. The noise of joys during the reception still playing on my ears.

It was a year ago...

This year, 12th December 2009 marked our first anniversary. We celebrated with our first baby, Muhammad Adam Naufal who has brought laughter, cries and joys to our quiet abode.

Thank you Allah for this precious gifts. I will take a good care of this 'amanah' as long as i live. Insyallah.

Adam was showing his cute smile...suke senyum die nih...

I ordered this delicious cupcakes from Azmi Hamid. Very reasonable price. Please go to his blog http://jemidelights.blogspot.com/ for other cupcakes.

Adam sudah pandai

2009-12-01T14:25:00.002+08:00

Adam sudah pandai senyum-senyum bila di agah orang. Kadang-kadang cuba ketawa atau bercakap dengan orang yang mendukungnya.

Kakinya sangat kuat dan suka didirikan. Lehernya sudah aktif pandang kiri dan kanan.

Tangisnya pun sudah mula berkurangan. Berkat rawatan dan doa rakan-rakan dan ahli keluarga. Alhamdulillah.

Semoga Adam sentiasa sihat dan dilindungi Allah swt.

Amin...

Pengorbanan

2009-10-30T18:02:00.002+08:00

Demi adam

biarlah abah berkorban untuk Adam.
mengikat perut,
menunggang motosikal ke tempat kerja,
bawak bekal ke tempat kerja.

abah bekerja kuat siang ke malam
semoga increment dan bonus abah lepas ini cukup untuk menanggung keluarga kecil ini

abah sanggup bergolok gadai
supaya adam senang masa hadapan

cuma satu sahaja abah pinta,
jadilah anak yang berguna bila besar nanti

~bingkisan hati yang sedang fikir bagaimana mahu survive bulan ini dengan hanya rm500 di tangan~

Just a short note

2009-10-16T14:43:00.004+08:00

Puteri Umno's call to ban horror film
It's a joke to blame a horror movie and attribute it to the lacking of faith among the Muslim. Puteri Umno never fails to make a joke every year. Yearning for attention. Sigh.

I guess they should ban Sisters in Islam (SIS) for their misleading interpretation of Al-Quran and their confusing stand on many issues.

Ong Tee Keat's resignation?
I am all for him. I like the way he work. He put up a brave face when decided to reveal all the hanky panky behind PKFZ. Just ignore the fact that he 'hitch-a-ride-on-Gulfstream-jet' brouhaha. It's a small issue and should not be blown out of proportion. Calling for his resignation by the delegates does not mean he does not command the support of the Chinese in majority.

I personally think he should stay and clean up the mess in PKFZ, that was left by his previous MCA presidents.

PAS' lost in Bagan Pinang
Expected. Nothing suprising. The fight? Even people watching football can fight in the stadium. But watching someone lied on the bed with a neck support was a good act. He did it in Kedah some time ago, claiming he was shot at but no one believed his 'drama swasta'.

1Malaysia
What is/are the difference(s) between DAP's Malaysian Malaysia?

Bendera's invasion on Malaysia
8th October 2009 has passed. Nothing happened? You idiot Bendera group is a joke of the region.

Fatherhood
A weekend husband and abah over the weekend for now as my wife is still under confinement. I miss them so much. Pity to my wife who had sleepless nights ever since she gave birth to our baby. I will make it up for you Ayang. Thanks for taking a good care of our boy.

abah rindu............

2009-10-06T15:18:00.002+08:00

tak sabarnye nak balik batu pahat minggu ni...........

Selamat Datang Muhammad Adam Naufal

2009-09-29T16:02:00.005+08:00

Tanggal 23 September 2009 pada pukul 3.03pm bertempat di Putra Specialist Hospital, Batu Pahat, lahirlah cahaya mata pertama aku dan Maz ke dunia ini. Di saat aku mengazankan dan mengiqamatkan telinga anakku itu, aku sebak dan bergenang air mata. Inilah bukti cinta kami. Bukti ikatan erat kami sebagai suami isteri.

Aku tenung wajah mulusnya lalu ku cium dahinya. Sungguh harum baunya. Lalu ku bisikkan, jadilah anak yang baik dan solehah ya. Dengar cakap abah dan mama. Jadi insan berguna.

Itulah dia anak kami, Muhammad Adam Naufal. Naufal bermaksud pemurah. Semoga dengan kehadirannya di dunia ini, akan memurahkan lagi rezeki kami.

Kami sayang kamu, Muhammad Adam Naufal.

Selamat Hari Raya

2009-09-16T09:55:00.002+08:00

Tak lama lagi hari raya. Hari raya tahun ini adalah kali pertama aku sambut sebagai seorang suami dan insyallah, jika ada rezeki, juga sebagai bapa. Hari raya tahun ni bakal disambut di Batu Pahat. Kemudian, petangnya aku aku akan balik ke Melaka kejap untuk menziarahi mak dan abah.

Sangat seronok apabila menyambut Ramadhan ditemani isteri tercinta. Sebelum ni berbuka seorang je. Walaupun tengah sarat mengandung, dia masih tetap kuat untuk menyiapkan juadah berbuka. Tu yang buat makin sayang kat dia. Di sebalik keletihan membawa baby di perut, dia tetap gigih menumbuk sambal, menumis, menggoreng dan sebagainya. Tetapi kadang kala kalau dia tak larat, kami akan berbuka di luar juga.

Raya tahun ini aku sambut secara sederhana sahaja. Dengan gaji yang makin susut dan tidak dapat advance gaji, aku hampir pokai. Sangat mengecewakan. Sekurang-kurangnya masuk la gaji awal. Ringan sikit beban nak sambut hari raya. Ni tidak...buat selamba derk je...sabar je lah. Business one drop perfume pun aku dah slow. Ada banyak stok-stok yang tak terjual. Nasib baik, ibu mertua tolong jualkan kat kawan-kawan dia. Dapat la balik modal sikit.

Bersempena hari raya yang bakal disambut tidak lama lagi, saya dan isteri Mazlina Mahali ingin memohon maaf jika kami pernah terkasar bahasa mahupun perbuatan, sengaja ataupun tidak. Sesungguhnya kami tidak sempurna dan Allah sahajalah yang sempurna sifatnya.

Selamat hari raya maaf zahir dan batin.

ISA, liquor, Swine flue...

2009-08-04T22:28:00.002+08:00

ISA
Saturday was a disaster. From what i read from the internet, KL was turned into a warfield by the police. Luckily i did not go into KL that day. As much as i understand the anti-ISA group's intention, i cannot fathom why did they have to bring it to the street? Imagine the losses the traders suffered, not to mention how the traffic snarl had caused headache to many of peoples who just wanted to enjoy their weekend. Was it fair to them? I am sure there is other way to express your feeling without at the expense of others. Actually, i do not agree the way ISA is being used to suppress political parties. I am in favour of using ISA against those terrorist, underworld leader, drug dealers, the bad guys and many more of which the offences are hard to be proven in court. But to use it against the innocent people is unjustified. I wish the government can amend the ISA as soon as possible.

Liquor in Shah Alam

Who is Ronnie Liu? Why he made a fuss about seizing liquor from the shelf even there is a law prohibiting it to be sold to public? Some more it was in Shah Alam where the majority is Malay Muslim. I wonder why he had to order MBSA to return the seized liquor and asked them to apologize? Was the liquor belongs to him anyway?

Swine Flu

I pray to Allah for His protection from this deadly virus. I wish none of my family members, friends or anyone from contracting this disease. And to media, please stop referring the swine flue as H1N1. Even in the western they refer it as swine flu. I hardly recalled anyone called the bird flue with any other name. It's simple. It makes people to be more cautious la.

Siapa lagi boleh buat cerita best (post Yasmin Ahmad's demise)

2009-07-31T14:30:00.002+08:00

Kita dikejutkan dengan pemergian Yasmin Ahmad, seorang pengarah yang unik, inovatif dan kreatif di dalam memartabatkan industri filem negara. Keberanian beliau dalam mengetengahkan sesetengah isu di dalam masyarakat selalu dipandang serong oleh konservatif Melayu tetapi biarlah mereka dengan dunia mereka. Mereka melihat dunia ini dari kaca mata mereka sendiri.

Aku bukanlah peminat cerita-cerita beliau tetapi aku akui filem-filem beliau amat berkualiti dan sarat dengan mesej. Bukan sesetengah cerita Melayu sampah macam Remp-It, Bohsia, Impak Maksima, dan banyak lagi. Konon sarat dengan mesej tapi aku tak nampak apa mesejnya melainkan lebih memaparkan minah-minah bohsia pakai seksi, kehebatan mat rempit di jalanan, kereta modify sana sini (dah macam bodoh rupanya), dan dan banyak lagi cerita Melayu yang merapu. Menghairankan, cerita-cerita seperti ini lah yang mendapat sambutan pawagam. Tapi, bila ketika cerita yasmin ahmad ditayangkan, nak jumpa Melayu dalam pawagam boleh dikira dengan jari. Kesimpulannya= taste filem orang Melayu memang takde kelas. Patut la razak mohaiden, pierre andre dan ahmad idham makin kaya raya. ceh!

semoga roh yasmin ahmad dicucuri Allah swt. Amin.

Umar amat marah apabila Kosmo (sebuah suratkhabar picisan untuk orang Melayu malas berfikir) memaparkan kisah sejarah lampau Yasmin Ahmad tanpa memikirkan perasaan keluarga arwah yang baru kehilangan ahli keluarga mereka. Janganlah jadi akhbar murah tidak bermaruah dengan memaparkan cerita-cerita yang tidak sepatutnya. bodoh punya surat khabar.

Since when MACC is a Malay institution?Bullshit

2009-07-29T23:48:00.003+08:00

I read in aghast when one Malay supremacist newspaper, Utusan Meloya claimed that all this brouhaha against MACC and IGP was actually directed against the Malays. Wtf the Utusan Meloya was thinking?Since when MACC is a Malay institution? Is it stated in the Act? The"Malay" word is not mentioned at all in the Act.

Utusan Meloya is playing racial card again this time. They are losing its readers among the Malays because the Malays has become more critical in their thinking. Mind you. We are not from pre-independence times where everyone will believe what the Utusan Meloya says. We think with our brain, not the other way around. I myself deliberately ban myself from buying any Utusan-related publication just to preserve my sanity. Reading too much Utusan is hazardous.

At one hand, i do not agree the way tMACC conducts their selective investigation and prosecution. Too much exposure against the opposition, in fact raises an eye-brow. The over-exposed Beng Hock's death was an eye-opener. Why someone has to die? And, i am suprised to see some political parties are trying to gain political mileage on his death. Anyway, why did MACC grilled someone from the opposition party until wee hours in the morning? Not too far from MACC's office, say less than 5km, there is a bungalow purpotedly bought by 'someone' who was a "big guy' before in Selangor (but now useless)- never being investigated by MACC. In fact, upon ACA become MACC recently, countless report have been made against alleged corruption but it fell to dear ears. Can i conclude MACC is selective and bias? Of course!

Malaysia boleh!!

time for a change?

2009-07-26T23:17:00.002+08:00

I was contemplating a move that will affect myself. it's my career.

After giving a thought of it, i think i am not meant for practicing. I just find it taxing and it deprives me my personal life. Oh maybe i was wrong thinking that being an advocate and solicitor was actually cool.

I have been sending out many CVs but no answer till now. I don't know why. maybe lacking in experience turned many potential employers away. Sigh.

With the baby coming into our family, i need to re-consider whether to work long hours and let my wife take care of the baby all by herself or we share the burden together through the good and bad times.

May Allah give me His wise guidance and wills for me to decide. Amin.

Apakah perasaan anda jika anda bekerja keras siang dan malam untuk seseorang, tapi tidak dihargai?

kerja aku tidak menentu. ada kala sibuk, ada kala tidak.

tetapi selalunya sibuk. Balik lambat. Paling awal aku boleh balik 6.30. Paling lewat pun 7.30. Itu pun sambung kerja di rumah. kalau balik awal pun tak guna. Kesesakan jalan raya daripada kawasan Damansara sehingga NKVE terus mematikan hasrat aku nak balik awal. Buat sakit hati je.

Untuk apa aku bekerja lewat? Entah. Aku pun tak tau kenapa aku kerja sebegitu rupa. Adakah untuk kepuasan diri atau sebaliknya? Aku punya cita-cita sendiri. Paling tidak Senior Associate di dalam firma tempat aku bekerja. Untuk menuju ke arah itu, sudah tentu pengorbanan diperlukan. Masa bersama keluarga, perasaan dan juga banyak lagi.

sejak kebelakangan ini, aku memang tidak gembira bekerja. Tidak tahu mengapa. Terlalu banyak arahan kerja untuk dilakukan dengan cepat dan ada kala aku rasa seolah-olah nak menjerit. Aku sangat penat.Tetapi, aku sabarkan juga. Bekerja dengan pelbagai orang memerlukan kesabaran yang tinggi. Syukur aku ini punya sifat sabar yang tinggi. Ada juga cuba hantar resume ke tempat lain, tapi tiada jawapan. Ada dah panggil utk 2nd interview, tetapi aku tolak kerana gaji yang ditawarkan agak rendah berbanding aku terima sekarang. Pada masa ini, aku dilema. Adakah aku mementingkan masa atau duit? Jawapan: Dua-dua sekali.

Orang pernah berkata. Kejayaan seorang suami bergantung kepada sokongan isterinya. Memang tepat 100%. Tanpa sokongan dan tolak ansur, seseorang lelaki tidak akan berjaya.

Entahlah....

aku pun tak tau apa aku tulis. fikiran sedang terganggu kerana insiden siang tadi.

mungkin aku patut berhenti kerja dan duduk sahaja.

mungkin itu mampu memuaskan semua pihak.

entahlah....

Open letter to DAP Kedah and HINDRAF

2009-07-03T19:07:00.002+08:00

Dear DAP Kedah

I would like to express my disgust with the recent development regarding DAP's pulling out from People's Alliance. I am neither a politician nor active member of any political party.

I could not comprehend the rationale behind your threat to pull out from KEdah's Pakatan Rakyat merely because of 50% quota housing requirement and the pig slaughterhouse in Kedah. I believe i have heard from both parties and i feel your party was being childish, stupid, moron and disrespectful to people who voted you in KEdah.

What the present Kedahan government is doing good and noble. Don't you think that the 50% quota is actually to encourage more Bumiputra to assimilate in most of housing development in Kedah? At this juncture, i was wondering to whom are you serving? Who is your master? The rakyat or the housing developer? I do not know how the housing developers' grouses can make you feel uneasy unless they paid for your campaign in the last general election. As for the pig slaughterhouse issue, i was told that the present site is near to residential area which most of them are Malays. In case you do not know, pig is 'haram' to be consumed because it is the most dirtiest animal God ever created. Science never lies. All discharges from pig are dangerous in nature. Everyone knows what the river nearby was contaminated with the discharges. Please don't tell me about the smell. I propose the slaughterhouse to be built in your backyard. Maybe you might like the smell and try to convince the residents about it. Maybe they can agree with you.

To HINDRAF who stage protest as its hobby,

I do not know how you can achieve your goal by staging demonstration, releasing the cows and stomping the KOMTAR. I guess you have nothing else to do but putting up demonstration to express your anguish and anger. And many thanks to the cows, you made your point.

I never get the rationale behind all of your childish acts. The land doesn't belong to you and them. Please get the facts right. The land was never alienated to any of the residents and you can never ask state authority to intervene. Law is a law no matter how you like it or not. A famous legal maxim, "those who seeks equity must come in clean hand". How is it possible for your claim justice over something is not rightfully yours?

The Malays in setinggan area has accepted the fact that, the Temporary Occupation Land is not theirs. No matter how you 'jaga' the land or built your beautiful house in it. The land is not yours. Once the period lapses, you have to follow the law. From what i heard, each family in Kg BUah Pala was offered a sum of RM200k as 'compensation'. Hey, that sum is a huge sum for poor people to start a new. Unless you have sentimental attachment to the land, it's up to you. The land is not yours anyway.

DAP Kedah and HINDRAF are a joke.

Thank you

another imperfect grammar posting :)

My wife is on her 26th week of pregnancy. The baby is becoming more active recently.

We have bought loads of stuff for the baby. We are so excited to welcoming the baby into our family. Before we go to sleep, we do talk with the baby. When i put my hand on my wife's tummy, the baby reacts!

3 months to go and we will be

Wedding trips
I was travelling last weekend to Pasir Salak to attend Faizal's wedding (my wife's cousin). It was a fun journey from Shah Alam to Pasir Salak. We took the town road instead of highway. It was nice to see kampungs, towns and places that i never been to. It took 3 hours to Pasir Salak. Upon checking-in at Pasir Salak Resort, we went to the bride's house for kenduri arwah. I tell you, the ikan keli masak lemak was darn good!

We missed the akad ceremony because of power failure. Therefore, i didn't get to press my clothes that morning. The bersanding went well. By 4-ish, we took off to Simpang Pulai to stay another night in Simpang Pulai. The next day, we went to Senawang to attend Farez's wedding. At night, we attended Ed's wedding in Shah Alam.

To all just-got-married friends, congratulations to all of you. May this new beginning promise you a happy life and future with the beloved one. To Lily and Ezrina, i am very sorry for not able to attend your receptions as it clashes with my relative's wedding in Pasir Salak. As much as i wanted to go and share the occasion with you, i regret for not attending your wedding. from my bottom of my heart, i am sorry. Hope the reception went well and you had a great time.

Work! Work! Work
I enjoy my work as much i enjoy playing video games or watching football match. I enjoy good relationship with my peers at my work place. I work with different personalities and is quite a challenge for me. Sometime i do receive work without proper instruction and guidance. It is difficult for me to do my work. But i guess, it is a part and parcel of the work: no adequate information and guidance. It is same as throwing you into the river even though you do not know how to swim. Sigh.

Menarik kan hidup macam ni?

Baby! Baby Baby
My wife is in her 25th week of pregnancy. The tummy is growing and sometime i feel movement in it. I was speechless. I always put my hand on her tummy and ask the baby to move and suprisingly, the baby obliged!What a miracle! The baby is becoming more actice these days. I hope my wife can stand with him.
My preparation is moderate and simple. We bought clothes, stroller, baby car seat, pampers, bottles and few others. As we plan to deliver the baby at private hospital in Batu Pahat, we have set aside certain sum from our salary to cover the cost. Hopefully, it would be enough.

SIS: To ban or not ?
I was suprised to see how the media played this issue. If I'm not mistaken, PAS' Muktamar only passed a resolution urging the government to investigate SIS for its 'teaching'. If it is found 'misleading' or 'sesat', then ban the movement.
To be honest, I admire what SIS is fighthing for. Equality before men. But, there is a reason why Allah created a woman from men (tulang rusuk). I may be not well versed in my religion, but i smell something fishy with SIS. I think they are good in twisting Hadis and Quranic verses. For e.g. they are advocating for abolishment of polygamy in Islam. I've attended their talk many years back and i find their understanding in Islam is very much based on Orientalist in the US. The fact that it was established by Amina Wadud, the first woman's imam in Friday prayer raised my suspicision. What are they trying to prove? What's next?

Zainah Anwar in an interview with The Star:
“It’s as if in Islam, women don’t have any rights at all. One woman asked, if the house were on fire, would she then have to seek her husband’s permission to flee! Women cannot even use their common sense to save their (own) lives. This cannot be Islam. God is just. Islam is just."

I do not know which hadis or quranic verses that she referred to. It was a blatant lie and misleading.

I do not call upon for their ban or whatever. I just hope the authorities or PAS for that matter, approach this organisation by having muzakarah or intellectual discussion. Enlighten them. They live in their own world. So does PAS. PAS is not akin to Taliban. Taliban is full of stupid mullahs and morons. Let's not Talibanise Malaysia, please. F**k Taliban.

Let's sit down and talk. Try to find mutual understanding in Islam as Allah allows differences in opinion.

Ching Peng's saga
Loads have been said about him. his cruelty and what not. I don't know. I did not live in that era. But from what i understand, the communist will anyone in their way. They even burnt police stations, buses, houses and schools.

One funny thing about this issue is racism. When you speak for Malay, you are called racist. But none was said if you were speaking in favour of Chin Peng or Hindraf for that matter. You will be called a hero!

Malaysia boleh man!

I guess it's high time for people to get married. I got many wedding invitations from friends, colleagues and relatives this coming May/June. There will be many receptions from 30 May to 6 June 2009 including Farez Rahman(AG Chambers) my best man is getting married to Haiza, Reen Rawaida (practicing) , Lily Adelina (Zico), Ridha Abdah (AG Chambers), Abg Bob/Husmarudin (AG CHambers), Nur Ezrina (Zico), En Hariz Daud (Zico), Khalid (Zico), Faizal (relative) and many a few from Maz's friends.

I know they are going to be the most happiest persons on earth on their special day and insyallah, i will be trying to attend all. But, i can't be at 2 places at one time therefore, i will prioritize them accordingly. I am in dilemma because these people are my best friends and they attended my wedding last year. I feel bad if i can't make it. Too many weddings at one time, man. So, if i cannot make it, please accept my sincerest apologies. To Farez, i cannot make it to your akad nikah on 30 May and your reception at Negeri Sembilan on 6 June because i have to be somewhere else.

I wish them all the best! selamat pengantin baru!

Jangan nak berlagak lah.
In the course of my work, i'm always be required to conduct a research. Sometime, i will have to make a phone call to government agency for clarification. I've spoken to many nice people and co-operative people. Even though they do not know the answer, they will try to get someone else to assist me (in other word, i was given a run around within the department). But it's ok. Making a call is not easy as googling though.

But on Friday 22 May, i was instructed to do a research. It happen that the research is related to one particular ministry. after an extensive research, i still need to ask people from that particular ministry to get clearer picture. so, i made a phone call to Ministry of ABC in Putrajaya for a clarification. At first, i manage to speak to 1-2 officers in the ministry and they were really helpful. As my questions involved legal issues, i was advised to speak to their legal officer.Later my call was passed from one person to another. Somehow, i end up speaking to one Legal Officer. I greeted the officer nicely and proceeded with my questions (again, just for a clarification bearing in mind that i know it is not their duty to answer phone call). What suprised me that, she brushed me of by saying ," Didn't you lawyers should do your own research? We are not answerable to you or the public by answering your queries. We don't have time for this. Do you think we all know every law related to this Ministry?"

So that's it. i end up by saying thanks for her time and i told her i'm going to ask another officer. I later put down the phone and heaved a big breath. Further check on the Ministry' website showed that she is an L41 officer and still under contract!!wtf?

My regret was i didn't retaliate back to her. I should've have told her that she was only an L41 Legal Officer in the Ministry ABC and still under a contract. which means, your performance is either not up to expectation or maybe she is still new to AG Chambers or i don't know. The thing is, she was not supposed to be so stuck up with public (including lawyers) when speaking on the phone. She might have 'Peguam Persekutuan' as her designation but it's not license to be rude. I did not ask for a special treatment from her. Just a quick clarification will do ask my questions relate to her ministry. Even she didn't know the answer, i hope she won't feel bad by reacting that way (Malu la tak dapat jawab soalan...nak cover kemaluan la tu). Just becauseshe is a Peguam Persekutuan, you can simply be so berlagak. Fuck off! (Thanks God all my friends in AG are not like her)

This was my first bad experience with a ministry. Previously, i always saw dead end and my call end up being hung up (after being passed 5 times!) and mind you these people were not a clerk. they were government officer with a degree and many years of service. Even that so, i never being brushed off like what happen to this Ministry.

sigh...i better be prepared next time if i'm dealing with this kind of people again.

Kenapa nak agungkan gejala sosial?

2009-05-12T12:22:00.003+08:00

mat rempit makin mengganas. hari-hari ada berita pasal kes ragut yang disebabkan mat rempit. kenapa aku benci mat rempit? kerana mat rempit adalah golongan gampang, brengsek, bangang, bodoh, tuli, bahalul, takde telor, pengecut, celaka, haram, suey, p**d**k, sial, anak haram, bab*, khinzir, setan, iblis dan sewaktu dengannya.

tahniah TV3 kerana memaparkan kisah impak maksima vs rempit waktu prime time anda. sehinggakan anak saudara aku pun dah ketagih tengok cerita bodoh. tauladan? tauladan kepala hotak kau berjambul. kalau dah setiap minggu tunjuk stunt2 bangang tu, apa yang nak dikatakan teladan? anak muda sekarang memang bodoh. semua yang ditunjukkan kat TV semua nak ikut.teladan dicampak ntah ke mana. sama la dengan cerita Bohsia: jangan ikut jalan hitam (ntah betul ke tak tajuk ni). Ape hal lak nak buat cerita bohsia? apa dah kekeringan idea nak buat cerita ke? kalau setakat pakai duit bapak untuk buat filem merapu ni, baik tak payah.

aku tak faham orang seni. mereka membuat filem kononnya nak cerita perihal realiti. dah tak cukup real ke berita di akhbar dan TV? kenapa nak 'glorify' golongan-g0longan ini? perlukan kisah mereka ditunjukkan di khalayak dengan tujuan 'tauladan'? adakah orang melayu ni jenis makan saman? takde nye.....jangan la poyo-poyo buat cerita takde 'kaedahnya' ni. mak menyampah nyah.

kenapa penerbit filem kita tidak seberani yasmin ahmad?aku kecewa apabila mendengar kutipan 'talentime' kurang memberangsangkan, tetapi Bohsia dapat kutipan mencecah RM1j lebih. apa kesimpulannya?

"orang melayu tak suka berfikir".

Orang Melayu tak nak tengok cerita yang berat-berat tapi nak tengok cerita bodoh seperti Sembilu, Janji Diana, Gerak Khas the Movie, dan banyak lagi.

aku sangat marah....

Sudin: Wal Unta fadang fasirunn.......

Minggu lepas aku tonton cerita Pendekar Bujang Lapok yang aku rasa movie terhebat sepanjang zaman. Lawaknya tak pernah membosankan walau ditonton beberapa kali. Aku dan Maz menonton sehingga tak kering gusi walaupun kami tahu apakah dialog akan dituturkan oleh Sudin, Ajis dan Ramlee. Betapa hebatnya cerita P. Ramlee yang tak akan pupus sehingga bila-bila.

Kalau korang sedar, ada satu scene bila mereka bertiga mengeja perkataan di papan tanda sekolah; `ain, mim, nun, wau' = sarkis.

My next 2 weeks or more will be hectic like hell to me. I am involved in a big project undertaken by my firm. Cannot disclose it here due to confidentiality. Suffice for me to say that this project will cost my precious time with my lovely wife and personal. To my ayang, i hope you will understand my work and i assure you that i will make it up to you soon. Only your indulgence will make me stronger to be involved in this project. And i hope our baby won't give you headache during this time. Had it not because of work and responsibility, i wont do this.

I love you so much dear. You are my source of inspiration and strength. Your tears will weaken me.
Mmuahs.....

Ramblings....

2009-04-11T14:08:00.006+08:00

It has been a while since i updated my blog. Suddenly, i lost interest in blogging. Maybe because i am more concerned about how to survive in the coming months as we are slipping into recession. The media are very good in covering this but i can sense that it is happening. If you read newspaper frequently, you can see the trends are gradually showing. CIMB Bank is consolidating its 60 branches to cut costs, there are talks of merging Proton and Perodua, PNB's dividend is less than previous year, Bursa's stock is less attractive, housing developers are offering creative promotion to sell their house (Sime Darby, IJM, TA Properties etc) - but they are less attractive to me because the prices are damn too high. No way a newbies like me could afford a house like that. I am more inclined to live on landed property as it offers me more space. My experience living in Shah Alam's flat and Flora Damansara gave me nightmare (water cut, dirty lifts, security issues and the poyo-ness of management comittee who impose so many stupid charges etc). But that decision (to buy a house) will be made in next couple of years.

Baby is coming into our family!
Insyallah, my family is expecting a newcomer into our life; yeah, a baby! Alex Jr or sort. I hope for a baby girl but my wife prefers the opposite. Takpelah, mana-mana pun tetap rezeki Allah swt. We just pray the baby is growing well in the tummy. As a preparation, we have set certain % of our income to celebrate the baby- baby clothes, medication, diapers, stroller, car seat and the list goes on....(pokai dowh...). Mudah-mudahan kelahiran anak ini akan memurahkan lagi rezeki aku. amin.

New Cabinet
I am happy the new cabinet excludes KJ. Hahahaha....what does it means when a Ketua Pemuda is not given any position on the new administration? and i wonder how did he won the post anyway? Was that Pemuda's aspiration to see someone like him to be their leader? Didn't they realized that what was the 'x-factor' that contributed to BN's dismal performance in 2008 election? So funny...
Nevertheless, i am happy to see many non-MP/party's leader chosen to the cabinet. I prefer the idea of doing away with the practices of picking the ministers based on their position in the party. Even though he or she won vice presidency, head of youth, or head of wanita etc..it doesn't mean he or she is capable of being a good minister. A minister should be chosen based on his capability to work and not because he is popular in his party. I think the reason why UMNO people can't do away with money politics are just because they are obsessed of being a minister/deputy minister and they are willing to spend fortunes to garner votes in party election (so funny KJ can still contest in Pemuda though).

Wake up call
I was approached by a colleague of mine the other day about my job prospect. She gave me a short lecture on how to progress in my career. Be noticeable to the partners. It woke me up. Seriously, i woke up from my 'sleep'. I realized that at one time, i feel something is missing in my life and even contemplating to find another job. But i always tell myself that the situation was caused by the economic situation and i guess it is self-explanatory. I need to work hard in order to give my family a good life. We want more money. But, being a lawyer cannot make you freakin' rich without sacrificing your personal life. That explain why there is a brain drain in the industry. People go in-house. Better pay and better hours. Ntah lah...

Orang Thailand memang gila
The world knows what is happening in Thailand. No one could ever become the PM in Thailand without blood being spilled. Thais are totally crazy. I mean, they are nuts, indecisive, fools and what not. I just wonder, who they actually prefer as the PM? A monkey? a clown? who can satisfy both blue and red factions? Who is ruling the country? Mob rules? Peoples are preparing for the worst in the recession and these peoples got nothing to do except staging protests. Didn't have a family to feed? Why burn cars, schools, buildings just to show your dissatisfaction toward the government?

but in any way, i hope what is happening in Thailand continues as it will divert the investors' attention to other ASEAN countries like Malaysia. I hope what happen in Thailand will kill their industries and it will then spur ours. Come on investors. Do you still want to invest in Thailand despite having stupid people protesting everyday? Remember what happen to Suvarnabumi Airport? If they can do this to their own government, they can do this to your factory too. Please come to Malaysia. It is assured that, apart from HINDRAF and Anti-PPSMI's protest, you will find Malaysia safer. (I am not being cynical here)

Kenapa nak merusuh kalau kalah bola?
Apa ke hal nye la orang di sebuah negeri tu? Kalah bola terus merusuh ke? Kot ye gedebe sangat, pegi la bakar rumah sendiri la. Lepas bakar pandai plak awe-awe ni lari takut kena tangkap. Kau pegi bakar trak polis tu kenapa? Kenapa sesetentah orang di Malaysia sampai jadi begitu sekali? Bola sepak Malaysia memang dah tahap sampah sarap dah elok ditiadakan terus. Kerajaan harus menghentikan memberi dana kepada FAM untuk diagihkan kepada pasukan bola tempatan kerana ia tiada dayamaju dan menghabis beras sahaja. Main dengan pasukan negara miskin pun kalah. Baik lawan budak sekolah je.
apa pun, bola sepak malaysia memang poyo. so, tak yah la nak emosional lebih.

saya cadangkan kepada FAM supaya menganjurkan perlawanan bola sepak antar pasukan Malaysia dengan pasukan dari negara Botswana, Timbaktu, Kemboja, Laos, pasukan sekolah bola sepak dari England sebelum menghantar pasukan negara ke pertandingan peringkat Asia.

Ada berani?

say hi to my baby

2009-03-31T10:07:00.004+08:00

this is the ultra-sound picture of our baby.

seriously, i was speechless when i see the baby moving his hand. it was like 'hi abah, mama.... i am growing here...couldn't wait to see you soon..!"..

mata bergenang..tapi aku cover la.tak nak maz nampak. hehehehhe..

aku tengah boring

2009-03-06T10:47:00.002+08:00

aku tengah boring.

takde keje.

betul ke orang kata ekonomi Malaysia masih kukuh sedangkan satu dunia sedang mengalami kemelesetan ekonomi paling teruk dalam sejarah sejak 1930-an.

ahli politik Malaysia memang pandai mengabui mata rakyat Malaysia.

nak cari keje part-time, tapi apa ye...hmmm....

I enjoy free water in Selangor

2009-02-25T15:07:00.002+08:00

For 3rd consecutive months, i received my water bill with a smile. I need not pay a cent for my water bill as my usage was below RM20. My state government is generous enough to give us free water for the RM20. Some people look at it cynically but i am happy with this move.

as you might aware, the Selangor goverment is negotiationg a take over of the water concessionaires in Selangor and KL so that it can provides a cheaper water tariff to the people. However, a recent spat between the Federal-State government upset me. Should they keep on fighthing until 31 March 2009, the water tariff will be increased by 37% and it will burden the people.

if the rakyat is so buta tuli cannot distinguish who is the government that really take care of the people, i don't know what to say. Despite being attacked naked pictures, khalwat allegation, lexus and cow graft allegation (lembu pun nak jadi isu ke), the state government continue to serve the rakyat.

I just hope both governments will give an utmost consideration to the interest of the people rather than the interest of concessionaires' shareholders.

i enjoy free water....jangan jeles :P

we had a great time even though we didn't spend our valentine at hotel or restaurant. buat ape nak kayakan tokey kedai, kan?hhehehehe

Ajal boleh menjemput bila-bila masa sahaja

2009-02-23T09:37:00.004+08:00

Pada 21 Feb 2009, aku menerima panggilan telefon daripada Sarihan Shatar (aka Ali) memberitahu aku Zulkamal/Zed baru meninggal dunia kerana serangan jantung. Aku mula2 tak ingat siapa Zed ini tapi nama itu familiar. Lama-kelamaan aku teringat. Dia pernah lepak di rumah sewa aku dahulu. Aku pernah berbual dengan dia. Very nice guy. Tak lama kemudian, Farez pulak call memberitahu hal sama.

Aku mengucap. Usia arwah tak sampai 30 lagi. Belum berkahwin. Aku insaf. Tetapi aku dengar ramai rakan seangkatan di AG Chambers turun Raub untuk menguruskan jenazah beliau sehinggalah ke liang lahad. Alhamdulillah. Moga-moga roh arwah dicucuri rahmat dan ditempatkan di kalangan orang-orang beriman. Amin ya rabbal alamin.

Sejak kebelakangan ini, aku attend banyak majlis pengkebumian/kematian orang yang rapat dengan kehidupan aku. Seminggu selepas aku kahwin, kawan baik dunia akhirat aku, Batod kehilangan bonda tersayang. Aku sempat ziarah ibunya ketika dia di hospital. Batod sepatutnya menjadi pengapit aku ketika di Batu Pahat tapi dia pull-out last minute kerana keadaan ibunya tidak beberapa mengizinkan. Aku faham dan aku lega apabila dia tidak menjadi pengapit aku. At least, dia ada masa untuk luangkan masa dengan ibunya.

Tak lama selepas itu, mentua atuk saudara Maz pula meninggal. Seminggu sebelum aku meninggal, aku ada menziarahi beliau di rumahnya di Taman Tun. Masa itu dia baru sahaja selepas operate. Tetapi Allah lebih menyayanginya.

Baru-baru ini, aku menghadiri majlis pengkebumian rakan sekerja, Lily Adelina yang kehilangan ibunya. Dan Lily akan melangsungkan perkahwinannya tidak lama lagi. Bayangkan betapa sedihnya Lily. Lily, be strong ok.

Tidak lama dahulu, aku juga kehilangan sepupu baik aku, Abg Leman. Usianya masih muda. Tidak sampai 40 tahun lagi rasanya. Arwah meninggal isteri dan 2 orang anak yang masih kecil. Kasihan. Aku tak tahu kalau aku masih mampu menerima berita sedih seperti ini lagi.

Kesimpulannya, ajal menjemput tidak kira masa. Baik sekarang atau lusa. Bersyukurlah kita diberikan sedetik untuk bernafas sekarang. Hak kita untuk bernafas untuk detik seterusnya kita belum tahu lagi. Kematian ini menyedaran aku betapa hidup kita ini berada di hujung tanduk. Aku selalu sahaja alpa akan tugasku di muka bumi ini.

Al Fatihah untuk sahabat kita, Allahyarham Ahmad Zulkamal @ Zek dan juga roh-roh saudara, rakan-rakan dan kenalan yang telah pergi meninggalkan kita. Semoga mereka tenang di sana. Amin.

My simple Valentine

2009-02-17T12:49:00.000+08:00

I am not really into Valentine. Knowing the unconfirmed fact about the celebration made me feel guilty celebrating it. People were protesting the celebration as it is the day when a couple exchange expensive gifts (over-priced flower and cards), have a dinner and.........(u think yourself).

as for me, i celebrated it, in more simple way. My ayang baked me brownies! very good one! even now i cannot finish it coz so sayang to eat `em. my first attempt to make a lempeng was also successfull hhahahahah..sukses!sukses!sukses!

I will not write anything or argument about the valentine. many myths have been told and i could find no wrong in just celebrating one special day for lovers. anyway, i can only think 14th feb as Ali Sarihan's birthday apart from lovers' day heheheheh....

i don't know about this, would celebrating valentine cause me masuk neraka?hhmmm......

ps- will upload the brownies and lempeng pics soon.

politics is shit. shit is politics.

2009-02-05T23:33:00.003+08:00

orang selalu cakap.

politik itu kotor. aku tak faham.

tapi 5 februari 2009 membuatkan aku faham betapa politik itu satu mainan kotor.

dulu aku ingat ibrahim ali je dipanggil katak.itu pun kat kelantan.

sekarang negeri lain pun ada.

katak 4 ekor tu elok mati kena langgar kereta.

sekian, terima kasih.

life's a bitch.

Modelling at Bukit Tinggi

2009-02-03T17:01:00.012+08:00

Ini ada sedikit gambar poyo kitaorg kat Bukit Tinggi. Ala-ala model gitu.

Oh yes, there is good news.

Nanti la aku bagitau....

the day my car was hit

2009-02-02T23:03:00.007+08:00

it happened on 27 january 2009.

i was stopping at the traffic light.

suddenly, a reckless motorcyclist tried a stunt by weaving through the cars.

however, when it came near to my car, he lost his balance and hit my car from back to front. (Kenapa la kat kereta aku?bukan kat keta depan ke mangkuk).

during his stunt,he hit another motorcyclist who was carrying his wife and daughter.eventually, he almost fell on the road.

the reckless motorcyclist did one honourable thing by not running away. he stopped and apologizing to us.i almost grabbed my steering lock and bash his head but i maintained my composure.luckily he didn't break the window and injure my wife.otherwise, another police report would be lodged against me and maybe any of my friends at AGC will be prosecuting me (hhehehee) for criminal offence.

i took down his details (IC, addres, working address etc) and gave him an earful lesson.he promised me to pay me the cost (which i doubt he can do that). his licence was suspended, no road tax, -what can expect from him?nevertheless, i just hope can pay for it. You hit, you pay la. No kesian-kesian one.

ni la mamat yang langgar kereta aku. fender was badly hit

broken side-mirror.

Jumping ship: new government formed?

2009-02-02T00:31:00.004+08:00

i am not happy with the news of party-hopping recently. be it in favour of PR or BN.

what bother me is that a government should not be formed based on defection. i think it is immoral, corrupt, coward and the most important thing; unethical.

people choose because of the party he or she is represented.not because of the individual. i am not denying that a party's ideology plays important role in deciding whom i voting for.

any ahmad, ah meng or muthu can win the March 08 election because they are not representing party with 'dacing'. u send a batu or kayu also can win one.as long it's not "dacing".

should there a resignation of the 2 state assemblymen in Perak, the best way prove the democracy is still working is via by-election.

otherwise, the government formed based on these defectors are no more like a circus. lompat sana sini macam kera.

bodoh macam kera.

Movie review: Slumdog Millionaire

2009-02-01T17:34:00.004+08:00

tetiba aku nak jadi pengkritis movie plak heehe....

movie ini berkisarkan Jamal yang ditahan kerana disyaki menipu di dalam pertandingan "who wants to be a Millionaire" di India. Di dalam pertandingan tersebut, mamat yang datang dari dunia penuh kekotoran (tempat pembuangan sampah di Mumbai) ataupun 'slum', berjaya menjawab soalan-soalan tersebut walaupun tidak pernah pegi ke sekolah mahupun ke universiti.hakikatnya, dia berjaya menjawab soalan-soalan tersebut berdasarkan pengalaman hidupnya.

aku tak nak citer panjang, korang carik la DVD dia yang kini sudah berada di dalam pasaran.sudah tentu la cetak rompak.marilah kita bersama-sama majukan industri cetak rompak Malaysia.

car thief: what so special?

2009-01-28T11:10:00.003+08:00

FRU have to be employed.

wow.

this guy must be so special since the police take a precautionary step by employing FRU. Imagine, a funeral procession from UMMC to Puchong. sure cause jam one.

sigh.

i also want to be a criminal la like that.

mati pun glamour.

sigh......................

Criminals deserve to be dead?

2009-01-27T12:21:00.005+08:00

yeah.

in fact all hardcore-criminals should be shot. i mean, those drug-dealers, car thief,robbers,rapist etc.

come on. all you have on you mind when you see this people preying on people's life;you just whisper "you better be dead man" or "pegi mampus lagi bagus".

because those hardcores would never repent.that's the fact. they are habitual criminals who enjoy on what they are doing. today we arrest them, tomorrow some ular-lawyer (who is so 'champion' in memutarbelitkan fakta')will plead to the court for a bail bla bla bla....and then next thing you know, these criminals will do it again.

so, i applaud the police's action who shot the criminals dead on the spot. Ever heard of UTK (Unit Tindakan Khas)? It's an elite team who are trained to just "kill" any criminals they wanted. They will chase after the criminals, shoot and leave. And the patrol car will come to clean up the mess. Don't believe me?

I wonder, is it true when the law of the human is really effective in dealing with the criminals? Why not try Hudud?

OOpppss...nanti Mr Dinosaur marah. Ini tableyyy....kita ada Perlembagaan Persekutuan. Ini bukan negara Islam..ini negara sekularrrrr......

(aku tolak masuk longkang baru tau)

my arse, mr Dino.

Tulisan di atas tidak berkaitan langsung dengan sesiapa yang masih hidup ataupun mati. Umar percaya Perlembagan Persekutuan boleh diubah jika MP Umno, PAS dan PKR bergabung untuk mendapatkan majoriti meminda perlembagaan peninggalan Reid.

Dear Hot Car Cool Cash organizer (Petronas)

2009-01-22T10:02:00.004+08:00

Dear Petronas,

i've been in support of your "Hot Car Cool Car" contest organized by your company. Seriously, i was hoping to win one of the car or at least the cash so that i can settle my credit card bill.

I never fail to fill up my tanks at least with RM50, so that i can qualify 2 entries for the contest. Imagine how much have i contributed to your account every month? For your information, i've swiped my Mesra Card no 8886887996306 whenever i fill up my fuel at your gas station. Sometime i do use my Petronas-CIMB credit card. In fact, i never failed to to swipe the card(s) for the contest since last year. (knowing the fact that you have this type of contest occasionally).

however, i never won anything from this contest. i never knew whether my card was for real as i never receive anything from Petronas (be it a catalogue or whatever). Am i really on your record?aku wujud ke woih?i look at the previous winners in envy.(there was kuih pau seller from Kelantan who won a Bimmer last year, what the heck?) i hope i were at their place. what if i can have that amount of cash...... sigh.

i hope i can win something from your contest one day.

thank you.

the above letter just for fun. never sent it to petronas though. but, who know someone in petronas could see this right?hahahha....

in my dream.....

Just shut up Dinosaurs!

2009-01-15T12:07:00.005+08:00

i just hate this one old politician.

People call him old-age dinosaurs.

Got rich by defending criminals (always won his case on the ground of technicality rather than anything else).

You are talking against Hudud like there is no tomorrow. You are bashing the Islamic law in which you deem as inappropriate in Malaysia (despite it is only applicable to the Muslims only).

How about Islamic finance? do we compel the non-Muslims to opt for Islamic finance? No, isn't it? They knew the advantages of having an Islamic banking systems in place. Interest free and so forth. Lesser risk. Look at those giants in conventional banking system like Lehmann, Citibank, and many more. What happen to them? fall apart like KABOOOM!

So if the Islamic banking and financial system are acceptable to the non-Muslims, how then that they cannot accept hudud whose main aim is also to establish justice and equality? The problem with human beings is that they don’t know, don’t want to know or that they know but they don’t want people to know that they know. That old dinosaurs refuse to know.

Anyway mr Dino, JUST SHUT UP.

Satyam: Another ENRON?

2009-01-12T12:33:00.003+08:00

Another ENRON in the making. India's pride will fall.

Hope the Malaysian will learn something from this.

Let's wait and see.

Rich Arab sheikhs without balls

2009-01-09T11:28:00.009+08:00

there is nothing more traumatised than seeing your mom soaked in blood and heaved her last breath in front of you.

i wonder what the rich arabian sheiks are doing with their money? build an island on the sea (the palm)? build the tallest hotel in the world? for who? you have the money but you spent it for shit. have you ever helped your brothers in Palestine?

thanks god the oil price is falling down. otherwise, you are going to build a hotel on the moon.

Transformers 2 in the making

2009-01-09T10:34:00.002+08:00

got this from the internet. T2 is in the pipeline.

gosh..i love transformers!!

autobot! let's roll out!!

Umar hopes his Persona and old Honda Ex5 is an Autobot :P

Post-marriage life

2009-01-06T17:12:00.018+08:00

It has been almost a month since i tie the knot with Mazlina. My life is now complete. As a leader of this new family, i will work harder to lead a comfortable life. I would never imagine to have her as my wife, a companion for life. I am happy and grateful to choose her as my lifetime partner. Alhamdulillah.

We are now busy moving into our new home in Shah Alam. We are lucky to rent (not enough money to place a deposit for to buy one) a house in Shah Alam at a suprisingly reasonable rental, considering the standard rental at that place. It's not easy to get a rental at lower than 1k for a double storey unit. Some more it is near Bukit Jelutong. I take it as a sign from Allah that our marriage is blessed. My increment (soon to get ) and bonus just came at the right time. Alhamdulillah. Boleh la bagi family makan.

To balance between family and career is a Herculean task. Insyallah, with a support and understanding from my wife, everything will be ok.

My wedding reception

I would like to thanks to all who made it to our wedding both in Batu Pahat and Melaka. Many came to Melaka. It was good to see my UiTM and ZICO, ex-ZICO friends came to our wedding. (my bosses too) .Nevertheless, we are happy to see many of you came and made the reception merrier. Thanks for your wishes, ang pau, and gifts. Definitely we are going to use those presents for our new home. Many thanks for Kak Zai/Dr Zai and Mr Nazim a.k.a John Gray who also came to our wedding reception in Batu Pahat and Melaka respectively. (It was a suprise to see Kak Zai in Batu Pahat).

My thanks goes to Farez and Muizz for being such a wonderful best man for my wedding. Not forgotten to Haiza and Rifhan for their presence in both Batu Pahat and Melaka.

(selitan iklan)

Talking about invitation (esp the invitees), i would like to advise you to kindly reply to the invitation by saying you are coming or not or even maybe (by sms or whatever means). It is unwise to let the sender to wait for your reply. Please appreciate his effort to send the invitation by post or by hand. To be honest with you, i am hurt (a bit la) by some of the invitees who initially were so eager and promise to come (tak nak datang kalau tak dapat kad) but they didn't. Not that i care so much about the attendance. but an sms would be fine. too all my friends who are getting married in future, i will try my best to come. no need for a card. call atau sms pun takpe. kalau takde aral melintang, pasti aku datang.

(iklan tamat :P)

I would like to thanks my relatives from KL, Kedah, Pahang, Perak, Singapore, Johor and Melaka who came to share this special occasion with me. It has been a while since we had a big gathering like wedding in our family. Big thanks to my new family from Batu Pahat for accepting me into their big family (Malbari+Jawa). As i speak, i have not finished visiting my wife's relatives in KL. ramai dowh.....sebulan pun tak habis lagi. I plan to visit my relatives in Singapore. Soon, Insyallah.

A week after my wedding, my best friend and dear brother, Izan (Batod) lost his mom due to cancer. She lost the battle. To Batod, my thoughts are with you and let's pray for her soul. Al-Fatihah.

2009 Resolution

I am never a fan of people who put up resolution for new year. I never believe in writing down a long list of what to do this year. But i do tell myself to achieve something this year. Last year was the best years of my life. Got 2nd class upper for my law studies, retained at reputable firm ,got married (this is the best!), bought a car, and my mom is finally moving back to Melaka after an appeal.

This year? I still believe Malaysia is still vulnerable to the global economic recession. I hope the government leaders are smart enough to lead the country at this period. Spend less on mega projects.

Live the life to the fullest!

Gaza invasion by Israel

i could say no more. I watch in sympathy when the Zionist hit Gaza with their air strike and bombs. As usual, the stupid Arabian leaders will remain silent. Too impotent (literally i would say!) to send an army to protect their fellow Arabian brothers. All they know is to build useless mega projects (like tallest towers, palm island, yada yada yada). I always have the impression that these rich sheiks are useless. they are willing to buy Citibank and Merryl Linch but, so scared to help their Palestinian brothers. Sigh.

Fuel price

I am grateful to the government for lowering the fuel price. No one could ever thought that price can be actually brought down. Not even during at Dr M's time. So, i praise the government for doing what is best for the people. Now i can fill up with my tank for RM70++. Saya sayang Pak Lah.

But still regret the price of the goods are still high despite the fuel prices. Damn you greedy traders and suppliers.

Do we need more shopping complexes in KL?

My answer is big NO. I never enjoy seeing more shopping complex to be built in KL which in turn contribute to the traffic woes (even over the weekend, mind you!) I hate KL when it comes to the traffic especially near Mid Valley, which in my opinion is the mother of all causes of traffic jam along Federal highway. Sue me if you want :P . I just hate KL's traffic jam everyday.

Tunku Muhriz as new Yam DiPertuan Negeri Sembilan

Hooray! As i was born in Kuala Pilah, i am happy the throne has been returned to the rightful heir. After 4 decades of being shunned by the N9's royalty, finally he was given an opportunity to lead N9. I bet most of you never heard of his name. Neither do i. Before his name even came into picture, i was thinking the next Yam Tuan will be someone who is arrogant, drunkard, has a lavish lifestyle and most importantly= never fails to appear in Malaysian Tatler's magazine MONTHLY (if you get what i mean).

Daulat Tuanku!

Selamat Awal Muharram and Happy New Year

2009-01-05T11:16:00.002+08:00

Selamat menyambut Muharram dan Selamat Tahun Baru.

I am in the midst of something urgent since i came back from wedding holidays. Hence, this blog is quite inactive.

will be rocking my blog soon after i finish up my work ok.

till then, take care!

Hudud: What's the big deal of it?

2008-12-24T18:12:00.002+08:00

it's funny when the non-Muslim is very concerned about PAS' plan to implement Hudud. Why are they so worried since the hudud will not be imposed on them.

Hudud law is preventing a Muslim from indulging in theft, adultery, drinking and many more penal offences. As it derives from the Holy Quran (and Allah's words for that matter), why would they barking the wrong tree?

they can booze off until they are dead on the street but hudud will not be used against them. so, why worries? ashamed to admit Malaysia is an Islamic state?

Call me narrow-minded but i think there should be a border in expressing your freedom of speech.

I think my God knows best for humankind.

Sigh.

Terima kasih kepada semua

2008-12-15T15:40:00.004+08:00

Alhamdulillah.

Semuanya telah berakhir dengan selamat dan lancar.

saya ingin mengambil kesempatan ini untuk mengucapkan jutaan terima kasih dan penghargaan kepada semua yang hadir untuk bersama-sama meraikan hari yang istimewa ini. Saya sangat terharu kerana ramai yang sanggup datang dari jauh. Tidak lupa juga 'orang kuat' majlis; Abah, Mak, Umi dan saudara-mara dari Melaka, Kedah dan Singapore.Hanya Allah yang mampu membalas jasa baik sekalian.

Saya ingin mengambil kesempatan ini, bagi pihak tuan rumah ingin memohon maaf jika terdapat sebarang kekurangan dan kelemahan daripada kami sebagai tuan rumah kepada majlis perkahwinan yang sederhana ini.

Sekali lagi saya ucapkan terima kasih kepada semua.

Wassalam.

ps-Will post the pictures on facebook and blog soon

Landslide in International Hill

2008-12-08T19:35:00.002+08:00

As usual.

Condolonces will pour in.

VIPs will make a visit to the site. Pretending to listen.

Development on hillslopes will be given stop-order.

2-3 months will be a quiet period for these development.

Later, those greedy developers will bribe the local council.

then, green light will be given.

in the name of exclusivity, prestigious address, pride bla bla bla..

2-3 years later, another landslide occur again..

here we go again,

the 'script' will repeat again.

sigh.

This is Bolehland. Apa pun boleh jadi.

yahooo!!

Stop the madness!

2008-12-01T09:24:00.002+08:00

Mumbai bombing
No one could ever thought a crazy militant stormed the hotel, train station and shot everyone in sight. unbelieveable. innocent peoples die and i'm afraid this would trigger India-Pakistan war any time soon. stupid Islamic militants! You caused an embarassment to the religion. You killed people in the name of God. Shame on you. SHame on you!

Bangkok dangerous
i find what happen in Bangkok is very funny. Just because you hate someone, it doesnt mean you have the power to beat up people, seize the airport and government buildings, erecting road block, throw up bombs etc. don't you have a work to do? we are heading toward recession and you people have nothing to do except sleeping at the airport waiting a miracle to happen. what democracy is this? mob rule?

Racism in Malaysia
i found a blog which promotes so-called "ketuanan melayu". calling themselves as a young graduate who fights for Malay supremacy and will not tolerate 'insult to the Malays'. i just wondering which Malays that other races have insulted? I do not find them insulting if they want NEP to be improvised, equal treatment for all Malaysians, justice, transparency, non-Malay as the head of PKNS, and many more. i tickles me when some ultra-racist take everything as insulting instead of taking it as a challenge to improve the well being of the Malays. We need to be competitive in order to earn the respect of others. if you become a millionaire by sub-contracting the government tender to other parties, don't call yourself as a "Melayu Berjaya" because you are at the losing-end.

sampai bila kita nak bermimpi? sigh....

How to have our own Barack Obama

2008-11-26T08:55:00.005+08:00

1) Malay Muslim with mixed parentage (parents= Malay+Chinese, grandparents has Chinese+Indian+ Iban lineage). Able to converse in many languages. French language is an-added value.
2) Educated at Sekolah Agama Rakyat at primary school, secondary school in MCKK, and then went UM or UiTM for Degree in Economics. Awarded with Anugerah Emas Di-Raja or something to that effect (highest award given in convocation)
3) Active during his student days= actively engaged student politics and community service. Never serve his 'political master' during his student days.
4) Pursued his MBA at Oxford or Cambridge.
5) Actively involved in NGO that promotes racial unity (not Pekida or Gerakan Graduan Melayu Muda)
6) Has a mind-blowing quality like Dr M, eloquent speaker like Datuk Sri Anwar Ibrahim, smart like HRH Raja Nazrin or Ungku Aziz, and religious and tolerant like Nik Aziz (not Hadi Awang), able to lead a prayer as an 'imam'.
7) Read Al- Quran, Bible or other religion's holy book.
8) Have served his constituency consisting equal racial composition. (meaning that, he did not won his vote based on racial factor)
9)Able to accept differences in opinion and never 'melatah' when he was attacked (like many of our politicians)
10) Never be involved in sex or corruption scandal. (some political party voted a sex-video-politician-in-hotel to hold top post in the party-how they chose him is beyond my rationality)

The list above are not exhaustive. They are just my thoughts on how to achieve a truly Bangsa Malaysia one day. Yes, i believe in racial unity someday in future because communal politics will eventually destroy Malaysia, bit by bit.

just an honest opinion :)

Stop the condemnation against Fatwa Council

2008-11-25T09:22:00.002+08:00

Yoga and tomboy.

The issues draw a flak from the society, be it from the Muslim or non-Muslim.

my advise to the non-Muslim NGOs, just do your stuff. The edict does not concern you. So, stop worrying as if the fatwa will bind you. it will never bind you. Ever. Period.

as for the yoga practices, i still believe it still requires a thorough study. but to edict another form of exercise as haram is a bit hasty. but hey, what the Council did was for the interest of the Muslim at the end of the day. same goes to tomboy issue. those who are not 'learned' in Islamic, i suggest just abide by the edicts. we can question the edict but not to the extend to the condemnation by saying "You are wrong! we know better than you do". It's like a lawyer telling the architect that a building is not right". It just simply wrong for an expert (in other field) to tell other experts that they are wrong. i think there is one Malay lady who operates Yoga center (forgot her name- nini or something); maybe she can put her argument in a report about the yoga. she might have a point. maybe the Council might revise the edict (since it has not been gazetted yet).

anyway, just stop condemning the Council at our whim and fancy. They know what they are doing.

RUmah keluarga di Melaka

2008-11-24T11:14:00.003+08:00

our parents' new home in melaka. the kenduri also will be held here.

Counting the days from the eyes of a corporate lawyer :P

2008-11-22T22:19:00.003+08:00

In less than a month, a "merger" will occur and it will be solemnised on 12 December 2008.

After a 5 years "due diligence" and "internal audit" on each other,

After numberless 'meetings' with each other,

After a "sweet litigation' between the two,

After a negotiation between the "holding companies",

It's time for the merger and acquisition of the "subsidiaries",

Come from different but yet richful background,

The solemnisation will be done by way of executing "Form 32A"

And Insyallah,

With all of your blessings and prayers,

There will be an union between 2 subsidiaries,

And will give birth to:

Umar & Mazlina

Merger & acquisition value : Invaluable

:)

Analogy:

1) Merger: Wedding
2)Due diligence and internal audit: Knowing each other very well
3) Meetings: Dating la
4) Sweet litigation: Gaduh-gaduh :P
5) Holding Companies: the parents
6) Subsidiaries: Me and Mazlina
7) Executing Form 32A: Akad nikah (where her dad gives the responsibility to me take a good care of her)

Mak

2008-11-16T16:41:00.003+08:00

Few days ago i got an SMS from mak " Mak tak dapat transfer". She was referring to her application for transfer back to Melaka this year. She wanted it too coz our home in Melaka has completed and she just want to spend her remaining years before retiring in melaka.

Upon receiving the SMS, i called mak straight away asking her why her application was rejected. She was unsure and she will appeal against the decision.

so unfair.all i can think of was her crazy stupid asshole poyo Pengetua who is so cruel,dictatorship and more less, fucking stupid dick head. he think with his masters degree (not many school principal has masters degree around). He glorifies the school at th expense of teachers' precious family time. i remember when i went back to Miri , my mak always coming home late (around 6pm- which is sarawak time is almost maghrib). and her weekends were not spared either! she was busy with the school's programme yada yada yada...

come on.it is just a school for heaven's sake! why you turn the school into the university? it still a school u moron. a school!!

i just could not understand! a teacher need to work more on extra-curricular rather than academic? what the fuck were you thinking, mr pengetua? world-class school ? (sounds familiar)

despite his success turning the school from "sekolah budak-budak jahat" into "Sekolah Harapan Negara" bla bla bla..., you just can't deny the teachers and students' rights to enjoy more of their free time with their family!

sorry for the harsh words. i just can't help it. seriously. i knew he rejected my mom's application .

damn u pengetua. damn u!

Contoh orang Melayu rasa hebat

2008-11-14T19:23:00.002+08:00

Ini lah dia, contoh hero orang Melayu masa kini. Menyaman kerajaan Pulau Pinang dan juga seorang bekas menteri.

Jalan-jalan menuju sebuah bangsa Malaysia akan retak jika pertubuhan seperti ini dibiarkan menjadi batu api kepada hubungan sesama kaum.

nak berjuang, biar bertempat.

Road Safety Campaign

2008-11-14T11:59:00.002+08:00

i would like to propose to JPJ or Ministry of Transport to undertake the following campaign:

"Please-Do-Not Slow Down-When You See- An Accident-Ahead"

Most of Malaysian drivers have the syndrome of slowing down just to see an accident. You *******! just jalan la..

Please do not slow down. Just drive as usual. Your act just slowing us down.

Just shut up and drive :p

Sayonara Flora Damansara

2008-11-10T14:10:00.002+08:00

Yesterday, i kissed Flora Damansara a good bye (hopefully for good!).

I moved out to some other place, much better than Flora Damansara.

good bye to all gedebe people who loves to hang out the lobby, rubbish,niggas,bangladeshis,nepalese,dirty lift,inconsiderate parkers,mat rempits, bohsias,baby diapers (is everywhere),dirty back lanes (especially to the mail box area), and many more.

thanks for giving me a 15 months horrible experience while staying there. to those cowards who threw firecrackes in 2-3 am in the morning, hope the firecracker will explode in your hand. you are such a cowards. You mom didnt' tell you that?

sayonara Flora.

Protest against Tomboy

2008-11-10T08:21:00.003+08:00

i am appalled to watch a Youtube video showing a group protested against the National Fatwa Council's decision: Tomboy is forbidden.

What hurt my feeling the most is all of them are NON-MUSLIM who thinks the Fatwa will bind them. These bunch of ignorant people will absolutely hurt the Muslim's feeling (i am!). They shouted and cursed the Council! How could they do this? Who are they? Didn't they get the idea of why the Council came to the decision? some of them even stated sporting short hair and wearing pants is also forbidden. i believe they got it wrong. the council was referring to a girl who sport short hair, wear pants and act like man (i.e. dating another girl, indulge in sexual relationship, etc). there are many woman who sport nice short hair, wearing pants and still look FEMININE for god's sake. Do not confuse the public you ************!

Tom boy is not a new phenomenon in Malaysia. It has been in Malaysia quite sometime. Personally, i think the Council has to play its role to safeguard the Muslim belief. Lesbian and gay is forbidden in Islam. Even other religion allows that, it still a taboo in the society. Try to walk at the shopping complex and you stumbled upon a same-sex couple walking with hugging each other, smooching in front of the public. what do you think? do you want your child to see that?

Tom boy, nevertheless is a person with dignity. some of them are good person.i've known some of them. i treat them with respect.

to the protester, just learn to agree to disagree. your act not only hurt us, your plain ignorance is a laughing stock. all religion forbids its believers from engaging same-sex relationship. if you disagree, they might as well you ponder what beliefs that suit you.

Malay Supremacy

Even the drafter of the laws never heard of "Ketuanan Melayu". How did it came into picture? LOL

Ape lagi lah dorang ni

2008-11-05T16:05:00.003+08:00

kenapa la tak habis-habis bangsaku yang satu ni. tak habis-habis dengan isu perkaumannya. apa dah terhakis sangatkah kedudukan bangsa Melayu ni? Mula2 dengan isu kuota Uitm, pelantikan orang Cina sebagai GM PKNS, lepas itu isu ex-boss aku ,sekarang nak saman kerajaan Penang kerana menggunakan dwi bahasa pulak utk sign board. Ape dah takde keje ke? yang signboard kat KLIA tu pakai bahasa melayu je ke? semua ada kan? jepun dan arab lagi. Ada lu bikin kecoh?

kita ni tinggal di negara apa? Malaysia ke atau Melayu? Malaysia itu Melayu sahajakah?

Apa orang Melayu ni dah takde modal lain lagi ke nak perjuangkan kepentingan bangsa? Tau la nak pemilihan parti tahun depan. takkan benda kecik nak dibesar-besarkan? Semua nak raih political mileage. semua nak jadi hero bangsa.

Orang Melayu kena bangkit dari minda yang layu. Betapa hina bangsa Melayu dipandang oleh bangsa lain kerana ksendiri merasakan orang Melayu ni perlu diberi peluang untuk membuktikan diri sendiri. Aku tidak malu untuk mengaku aku ini lepasan UiTM dan amat berterima kasih kerana diberi peluang untuk melanjutkan pelajaran di sebuah institusi undang-undang terbaik negara; Fakulti Undang-undang UiTM. Orang lain nak kata apa, biarlah. Bagi aku Fakulti Undang-undang UiTM adalah yang terbaik.

Kebetulan Amerika sudah pun memilih Obama sebagai Presiden kulit hitam pertama dalam sejarah. Bangsa kulit hitam adalah bangsa second class di Amerika. KKK masih bergiat aktif mengganggu bangsa Negro dan Hispanik. Republican adalah parti yang pro-kulit putih.Tetapi majoriti rakyat Amerika menolak politik perkauman. the change has come to America.

Kita bila lagi?

sorry lama tak update

2008-10-29T20:57:00.002+08:00

sorry la ye..

aku dah lama tak update blog.ada banyak keja la.lagi nak hujung tahun, lagi banyak keja. dahlah sibuk nak pindah rumah baru.pening kepalo den.

i am moving into new house in denai alam, in bukit jelutong shah alam. a new place and environment. family oriented. no mat rempit,squatters, niggers, foreigners etc. quite a distance from my workplace but hey, you win some, you lose some. you cant win everything in your life. my bride-to-be also like the place. so, ok lah.

global economic turmoil is happening around the world. malaysia is yet to feel the effect. the observers anticipate malaysia will be facing the recession earlier next year and there would be a mass retrenchment in private sectors. factories in penang are closing down due to american sub-prime post-effects.

as a new working force, i am not spared. i can be retrenched at any time. therefore i need to work hard and show to my employer that i am worth of being here. my boss is very outspoken and he told many times that i need to work hard to maintain my job. there is no guarantee at this uncertainty.

I am ending my bachelorhood soon.

new chapter in life.

yahuuu!

Harassment agains the teachers

2008-10-17T20:30:00.002+08:00

I read in disgust about a student kicked her teacher in stomach.

How stupid was that?

if i were the son of the teacher, i will find the student myself and do the same (kick her in the head). I dun care the student is a male or female. F**k off!

i will always defend a teacher in any ways. i have a strong feelings towards this noble profession. It is unfortunate i do not have the passion of teaching in my bloodstream even though both of my parents are great teachers.

who are you to shout at the teacher? who are you to bring your parents to the school to confront the teachers when you were punished by the teachers? who are you to sue the teacher? who are you? god damn it! tak nak sekolah kau bole pegi mampus dengan mak bapak kau sekali. dasar budak tak boleh diajar.

who to blame? teachers? schools? peers? gardeners? MTV? V channel? youtube? underground musics? monkey politician? KJ?

my answer is simple

PARENTS! nak manjakan anak, biarlah berpada-pada. ni anak dah memang bodoh 14 tingkat pun nak belah kan anak. kata orang melaka-- memang bangang!

aku bengang....

Hindraf's commotion at the government's open house

2008-10-02T07:21:00.003+08:00

Shame on you!

you caused a commotion at the national's raya open house.

you did not behave like a guest but a bunch of thugs.

you said you want UMNO to seek forgiveness to all Indians.

but you forgot what sins you have done toward us.

you accused us of ethnic cleansing (God forbid!). you accused us many things but yet you never seek forgiveness from us.

I thought of supporting your cause initially but after many events (celebrate birthday at the Parliament, riots in KL (cause a terrible traffic jam in KL!) and many more--- you (Hindraf, not all Indians) only a worth of cents. nothing much.

again, open house-crashing is an insult to the Malays anyway.. i would never done such thing at other race's open house (to respect the occasion). there are many political detainees (Malays) were detained under the ISA for years but we never done such thing. their family never resort to such desperate act to free their husband excepts pleading in appropriate manners (submit memorandum, sending letters to Pak Lah, etc). they suffer more than your so-called '5 heroes'. it just less a year and you already make a noise of it? come on la.....

Umar is sad for what is happening in this country. Under a weak leadership, racial cards are played openly by certain factions of this community. He is happy to live in this multi-racial country and loves his Chinese, Indian, Iban, Melanau, Kadazan friends. He does not share common views with 'him' from Bukit Bendera.

Erti hari raya

2008-10-01T19:52:00.003+08:00

Hargai mereka ketika mereka masih ada..

Adakah mereka atau kita masih ada di hari raya yang seterusnya..?

Sempurnakah kita jika kita sering mengecilkan hati mereka tanpa mereka sedari..?

Selamat Hari Raya kepada semua anak-anak yang masih mempunyai ibu bapa mereka. Kepada mereka yang sudah tiada, sama-samalah kita sedekahkan al-Fatihah agar roh mereka aman di sana...

Selamat Hari raya..........

Salute to you Datuk Zaid!

2008-09-30T15:25:00.002+08:00

i am proud to carry his name whilst i'm doing my work.

people will know ZICO stands for something.

its founder is of a brave man and principles.

He has written an open letter to Pak Lah urging him to repeal the much-draconian law, ISA. i bet the new de facto law minister does not possess a 0.01% of his quality.

Feel free to read them here.

My salute to you!

Umar imagines the judicial reform will be kept in the closet after Datuk Zaid's resignation. He foresee the judiciary will be going no where (except to the dustbin) after all attempts to reform it turns futile.In any case, he wishes the new re-appointed new de facto law minister can do something and talk with his brain.

Ambil tindakan kat Ahli PKR tu

2008-09-28T17:11:00.002+08:00

dia dah mengaku dia terima habuan seks kerana diumpan BPR.

dungu ke apa.

Ahli PKR ini memalukan bukan sahaja parti yang memakai lambang biru putih itu, malah umat Islam di Malaysia. malu beb...(walaupun aku tau kemaluan (read among those line) dia lagi besar dari orang lain akibat pengakuannya itu)...

alangkah bangangnya dia itu.

mana di pegi alim ulama PKR dan PAS? tak terbaca satupun di Harakahdaily ke, suratkhabar Harakah ke, Suara Keadilan, blog Marhaen daily ke, atau ke yang mengutuk tindakan mamat itu. yang tau, kata dia sibuk diperangkap...perangkap kepala hotak kau. siap samakan habuan seks dengan sedekah pulak tu.

apa nak jadi dengan Malaysia ni pun tak tau la..macam haram...

Kenapa orang Melayu di Flora Damansara bodoh dan bahalul

2008-09-24T21:09:00.004+08:00

Kenapa?

Time orang semayang tarawih dan time nak tidur ada Melayu bahalul main mercun (harap2 putus jari kau).

Suka parking kereta sesuka hati macam bapak dia punya kawasan (it feels good when u can spit on the windscreen and give it a scratch).

Suka buang plastik sampah di depan lif (Malas nak turun buang di bawah).

suka meludah di dalam lif.

suka buang pampers bayi melalui tingkap.

suka melepak di kedai kopi macam gangster.

budak-budak melayu main game di cyber cafe dari 8pm sehingga awal pagi.

my conclusion-- memang orang miskin duduk di flat tak boleh pakai otak!

BANGANG!

TAK PASAL-PASAL KURANG PAHALA PUASA AKU!

As i was passing in front of Sogo Complex, i stumbled upon this:

Make me realize that, there are people out there who live in difficulties....

Hopefully he can collect enough money to give his family a meaningful raya.......

Busy

2008-09-20T11:38:00.003+08:00

Let's count how many pimples do i have now.

I was away from the office for the whole week. the due diligence to one company has caused my pimples appear all over my place (and raya is around the corner). why all these due diligences happen before raya? why can't they just wait till then? or wait until there is so-called new government is formed? (so that the so-called investors may 'asses' our economy stability i suppose?) I long the 'free weekdays' 2-3 months back where the business were really slow. i got so much of free time then and i had the chance to revise my company law knowledge by reading text books.

i am still waiting for the new fuel price soon.

so that i wouldn't need to fill in RM100 for a full tank of my 1.6cc car.

it a hell of lot of money for a week!

turun harga minyak! turun!!

another week to embrace...after that..

RAYA!!

(talking about raya, i have not bought my baju raya yet. wait till for my pay on 28th!)

Barclay's Premier League: Transfer shock

2008-09-13T15:55:00.002+08:00

This is my first time writing on my favourite football league, Premier League. A recent shockwave in transfer market where Manchester City bought Robinho from Real Madrid for such a huge fees. It came to suprise that such medium size club is too ambitious to compete with the big fours (MU, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool). With the backing from filthy dirty rich over-zealous money wasting Arabian from the UAE, they plans to buy all players in the Europe to build a dream team (my ass!)

I could not agree more with Wenger that the UAE's Abu Dhabi United Group is turning the transfer market into a supermarket where they can shop around for players to be in their team. Shame on you. Instead of wasting money in the sports, you should help your fellow Muslims in war-torn country like Palestine. Give them money to build army and weapon to fight against the Zionist.

In different note, I hope Arsenal can win the Premier League this season! Hail young Gunners!

No merit to be here?

2008-09-13T15:13:00.003+08:00

I just being told that i got into the firm where i work now because i am LUCKY. Not because i am good enough to be here (i never say i am good).

He one who said this should take a mirror and take a look at himself.

All my hard works, staying up late and yada yada....yet i just got here by chance?

If you really good enough to be here, please take my position and be my guest.

A grotesque non-UiTM Law graduates?

2008-09-11T08:48:00.004+08:00

A lawyer who just being called to the Bar three months ago was rapped for not appearing in APPEAL COURT with a PROPER COURT ATTIRE.

I bet many of us went to Malaysian Bar website to check out which university she came from.

A second salvo from Gopal Sri Ram against the same 'University'. But i believe the case is an isolated. I have confidence in local graduates is on par with foreign graduates. They are as capable as their colleagues from overseas.

If my alma mater does that, he or she should run in public naked with a plycard hanging "I'm not from UiTM".

Uitm Re-visited

2008-09-10T09:29:00.003+08:00

I found this blog Education Malaysia on the internet (thanks to Ikmal). The blog has published a letter written by my own lecturer, Mr Nazim to counter all baseless and bias presumption against UiTM graduates. With such a flawless language, his points are almost impossible to rebut (i think). Read on...

Following the public demonstration by the UiTM students, we have been bombarded with popular assumptions made by people from all walks of life concerning their idea of what education is, the evil of isolationism and the importance of English. Let us list down all of these popular assumptions with a special reference to UiTM, the favourite punching bag of the day:

Firstly, UiTM is the only university in which the culture of racial chauvinism thrives. In other universities, both public and private, both local and abroad, there is a cosmopolitanism atmosphere in which differences are tolerated, and the multiracial students and faculty members are oh-so-very friendly with each other.

Secondly, the UiTM students are so unfriendly to other people, particularly to those of different races. In contrast, the students from other universities are very warm, jovial and extremely helpful and friendly with everyone.

Thirdly, the UiTM students and graduates are the only ones whose command of English is putrid and atrocious. On the other hand, all the students from other universities could speak English like the native speakers. Why, listening to them, it is very difficult to believe that they are not British, Americans or even Australians. To take this even further, the command of English of all foreign graduates is impeccable and flawless.

Fourthly, the most important commodity that a university student must acquire out of his student life is the ability to communicate well in English, since success in life is solely determined by how well you could express yourself in English.Most people have never thought of the concept of structural inequality, at the same time they have also chosen to disregard the multitude of elitism producing factors in the society. Most of these critics still believe fervently in the simplistic assumption that if you work hard, success will be in your way. When challenged, these same high priests of meritocracy would point out to some individual examples of successes and hence the conclusion: “you see! without any crutches, only with hard work, you would and could succeed” . This view automatically assumes that the poor are poor because of their own inability and weakness. While this could normally be harmlessly allowed in an academic discourse, to firmly juxtapose this assertion on the predominantly poor malay and bumiputra communities is nothing else other than racism. Hence it is funny to notice how some people tried to portray themselves as liberals yet end up on the dung heap of racism.

The next point of attack concerns the time frame of this policy of protectionism, that is to say, how much longer should UiTM enjoy its special malay/bumiputra nature vis-a vis the affirmative action policy. Well-intentioned critics would see this as a numbers game , that taxpayers have given enough time for UiTM to enjoy its special nature and that the Malay/bumiputra sectors have considerably improved their lot in life, thereby the status quo should be changed. This writer has no qualms in accepting the imperatives of helping the poor. However this must be viewed from a particular context.Have the malay/bumiputra improved their economic standing? A knee-jerk answer would be in the affirmative, with the ASLI’s findings thrown in to bolster such claims. Unfortunately, there exists considerable ambiguity in such findings since we still are in the dark as to whether the so-called wealth has been spread around the community as opposed to it being in the hands of a few elites. Some would argue that this would not be relevant since if it is shown on paper that the Malays have achieved the specified percentage, then theoretically, the Malays as a whole are now richer.

Another argument would be it is every man for himself , and this would be an incentive to spark and sustain future growth, whereby if a man gets RM1 million, it is his alone since it is a reward for his effort and he alone has the absolute share over the spoils. This would then be an incentive for others to work as hard as him, if not harder, and the others would surely obtain similar success . All of these so-called libertarian arguments strategically disregard the power of monopoly, historical and structural inequality of the community together with the greed factor in economics. Justice also has a social dimension to it, whereby it is unjust if the wealth of the community is in the hands of a few elites. There is no problem in supporting the move for wealth to be spread around equitably, that the use of taxpayers’ money should be done in a just manner, that there should be transparency and accountability in the policies of the government. Any reasonable person would be ready to champion such clarion call.Historical amnesia is always deployed in trying to argue that the history of this country started in 1957/1963 and that every community was born in the said period, with no community having precedence over the other.

It is also assumed that the natives of this land had no qualms in accepting any person to be part of the community without any conditions. Hence it has been bandied around that the idea of Malay/bumiputra special positions/rights/privileges is just a constitutional fiction, that the Malays readily accepted the immigrants to be the citizens of this country, embracing them with open arms even, with no prior conditions whatsoever. Some have even gone the extra mile by asserting that the Malays are not the true indigenous people of this country vis-à-vis the Orang Asli, hoping to prove that the Melakan empire together with the pre-islamic malay kingdoms were just a myth. Some of these critics have not even bothered to analyze the British colonial policy papers on the Malays, particularly on the Malay system of education. All of these ridiculous assertions could not hide the inevitable conclusion that the contention that there was absolutely no social contract made between the different races in this nation upon independence is certainly unacceptable.This writer supports equality and also the call for the affirmative action policies for the malay/bumiputra to be reexamined , which is similarly contained in the Reid Commission’s report. But to do so by disregarding the social and economic disparities of the malay/bumiputra is truly a tad too fanciful.The main purpose of a tertiary education is not to produce graduates whose command of English is fantastic.

It is to educate the student so that he could be a better person and to be instilled with good values such as empathy, trustworthiness and honesty. It is hoped that he would leave the university with a supreme conviction to do good for his family, society and the nation. This is certainly not to deny the importance of the English language. It is however a tool, rather than be seen as an end in itself. Sadly, there are numerous examples of people who got to where they are right now simply on the basis of their command of English. It does not matter if they have no work ethics, it also does not matter if they cannot be trusted to handle the key organizational issues. To the guilty employers, image is everything. As long as the “English factor” could be used to prop up the company’s image, then, why not. It has also been assumed that a good command of English would ipso facto instill some good values in the individual. This is as absurd as the assumption that a good command of Arabic would transform the person into a rabid terrorist. Our society still has an unhealthy obsession with image. As long as the person dresses well and speaks English well, preferably with a genuine sounding accent, then everything is fine although the person might be devoid of ethics altogether. We still have a long way to go in trying to get rid off this “sarong party girls” mentality from our society.

Concerning UiTM itself, many pointed out to the alleged highest unemployment rate of its graduates. What many have conveniently forgotten is that the bulk of the graduates of UiTM are made up of diploma holders. So, what would a good diploma holder do? Why, enroll in a degree course, that’s what. Hence many of these diploma holders then enroll further in degree programmes not just in UiTM, but in other universities as well , thereby earning them the title, “unemployed graduates”. This baseless criticism also assumes that all the graduates of other universities have no problems in the job market, and that they are truly in demand like hot cakes. This is again another nonsensical assumption. This view further assumes that all of the employed graduates are employed based only on merit, not on some other criteria eg, nepotism, cronyism, family connections, etc, etc, which is far from being the case as the job market is rife with such practices. As for the command of English, most Malaysian graduates suffer from this malady as a result of the education system in the schools. Even if you were to walk into the Law Faculty of UM or the law departments of any of the private colleges, you could still find some students with a poor command of English and it goes without saying that not all foreign graduates have a good command of English.

As for unfriendliness and/or racial chauvinism, this writer would be the first to say that not every one is a friendly person. With different personalities and different levels of reasoning and feeling, there would always be people who are different than us. But to simply label ALL UiTM students and graduates as unfriendly and chauvinist and at the same time to assume that all the students and graduates from other universities are virtuous role models and perfect citizens is nonsensical, beyond comprehension. In fact, to say that all of the above problems are uniquely “UiTM” or even worse, “malay/bumiputra” is definitely racism by any other name and therefore inexcusable.This writer implores all commentators to use logic and good faith in dealing with this subject. Otherwise what is intrinsically an imperative discourse would turn out to be a just a mundane arena in which we display our true persona.

Di kala kita sedang menjamah juadah berbuka puasa yang banyak, ingatlah, ada saudara seIslam kita di utara Semenanjung sedang berbuka puasa di rumah yang digenangi air banjir.

Malah, di negara China, kerajaannya mengharamkan umat Islam Uighur daripada berpuasa, tarawih dan menyimpan janggut. (nauzubillah)

Di Iraq dan Afghanistan, umatnya berpuasa sampin ditemani serangan bom-bom Amerika.

syukur aku dapat berpuasa di negara yang aman..

Ramadhan....kau menginsafkan aku.....

16 September: Tarikh keramat atau kiamat?

Semua pasti tertunggu-tunggu detik 16 September. aku tidak terkecuali. Bukan excited menunggu, tapi bimbang.

bila kerajaan dibentuk dengan cara pelompatan parti (defection), kerajaan terkemudian juga akan dibentuk dengan cara begitu.

lihat sahaja Thailand. Tak habis-habis dengan coup de `etat. Bila kerajaan baru dibentuk secara itu, ia akan menjadi 'precedence' kepada generasi akan datang. Kini Thailand huru-hara dengan demonstrasi. Bangunan kerajaan ditawan. Ada negara dibentuk dengan kekerasan seperti Somalia, maka negara itu akan runtuh dengan cara kekerasan kerana rakyat marhaen berpendapatan bahawa itu adalah cara terbaik untuk menukar kerajaan. Bila demokrasi diletakkan di tahap paling bawah, maka cara samseng digunakan.

Kini, Malaysia mungkin (atau tidak?) menjadi Malaysia baru pada 16 September. Pada pendapat aku yang tidak seberapa ini, eloklah PR jaga 5 negeri itu dahulu. Buktikan mereka boleh memerintah negeri sebelum memerintah negara. Itu sahaja. Bila negeri2 tersebut diperintah dengan baik, maka rakyat negeri lain tidak akan teragak-agak mengundi PR. As simple as that.

I hope i wont be getting a phone call from a friend for posting this. Just 2 cents worth.

Wassalam
