The Star has this column called My ADUN with a standard set of questions they asked selected MP or Assemblyman. Sometime I feel like answering those questions myself and get it printed out.

Did you know that for every RM1m deposited legally the banks can loan out RM25m out of thin air. The currency floating around is not tally with the real economy. The so call "Islamic Banking" that currently around is based on the convensional banking created by the west & yahudi, shouldn't be label as "Islam" just yet but "Syariah Compliance". Why? because it is not really base on the Islamic spirit of JEF - Justice, Equity, & Fairness in our journey to well being in the Islamic social system. As pointed out, the current model of banking system by the west is based on riba' which is haram which evolved in time and come in many forms. We halalkan yang haram and who are we try to fool?

HAR: Love to read newspaper especially The Star. Try to read books, watch sports or comedy program on tv & gardening.
NST: What books do you read?
HAR: Love Azizi Ali's money matter books & TG Nik Aziz books on Islam. My favourite got to be Robert Kiyosaki 'Rich Dad Poor Dad'.
NST: What is your contribution in protecting the environment?

Mengubah Sempadan Iman
Semalam 12/4/08 saya sekeluarga berkunjung sekali lagi ke Pesta Buku di PWTC. Kami seronok sebenarnya. Di samping anak saya Iman menambah koleksi novel terbitan PTS & KernaDya sebanyak 5 biji lagi, saya pula mendapatkan Sirah Nabawiyah terbitan YADIM terjemahan dari karya Safiyyu Al-Rahman dengan harga RM35 berbanding harga asal RM50. Saya masih teringat kata2 Ustaz yg berceramah di ofis bulan lalu iaitu kita kena berusaha untuk membeli tiket ke Syurga. Bagaimana? Kita kena cinta Rasulullah. Untuk cinta kita kena kenal Rasulullah. Bacalah dan hayati Sirah Rasulullah dan tunjukkan rasa kecintaan itu dengan mengikuti dan beramal dengan segala sunnah baginda. Semoga Sirah Nabawiyah ini bisa mengukuhkan kecintaan itu.
Saya juga membeli 10 novel Creative Enterprise dgn harga RM1 sebiji (yes hanya RM1). Kalau tidak pun untuk bacaan sendiri boleh juga dijadikan cenderahati buat kawan2 atau tetamu. Akhirnya Koleksi Novel Grafik AIE dgn harga RM10 untuk 3 siri (harga asal RM12.90 per siri) sebagai hadiah harijadi buat anak sulong saya Amir (kini menuntut di MRSM KP) yg memang punyai koleksi komik Gempak StarZ & Detektif Conan.
Dan isteri pula mencukupkan koleksi TGNA sebanyak 9 buku dengan membeli satu buku lagi iaitu Bunga Kebahagiaan. Bagi setiap pembelian RM50 layak mendapat satu borang cabutan bertuah. Kalau minggu lepas sebanyak 6 borang telah saya isi dan masukkan ke dalam kotak yg disediakan, semalam pula 4 lagi di tambah. Maknanya kurang lebih RM500 yg telah kami laburkan dlm koleksi buku dan penjanaan ilmu kami anak beranak pada Pesta Buku tahun ini. Saya masih ingat cogankata yg saya isikan di borang2 cabutan bertuah itu - Saban Tahun Ke Pesta Buku, Menambah Koleksi, Menjana Ilmu. InsyaAllah kalau ada rezeki petang ini saya akan mendapat panggilan telefon dari pihak penganjur untuk mengambil hadiah berupa sebuah Motosikal kapcai, TV lcd, atau sebuah Laptop.
Pagi tadi saya berjaya mengkhatamkan sebuah buku bertajuk Travelog Haji Mengubah Sempadan Iman karya Prof Muhd Kamil Ibrahim (UiTM). Buku 245 mukasurat ini sebenarnya di hadiahkan oleh seorang kawan isteri saya yg juga guru tazkirah di komuniti kami. Terima kasih kami sekeluarga ucapkan di atas keikhlasan beliau menghadiahkan buku ini bersama sebuah lagi buku bertajuk Misteri Solat Subuh karya Dr Raghib dan sebuah CD dari Raihan betajuk Yatim.
Buku ini bukan semata2 catatan pengembaraan Muhd Kamil ke Tanah Suci malah lebih dari itu menjangkau kisah pengajaran dan penghijrahan roh insan dan peningkatan iman. Betapa Ibadah Haji yg penuh hikmah dan nilai yg hebat itu berjaya merubah seorang insan yg serba kekurangan dari segi ilmu agama kepada insan yg berjaya mengenali diri sendiri dan bersedia melakukan perubahan besar dalam kembara kehidupan menuju redha yg Maha Pencipta. Ia ditulis secara santai penuh pengkisahan perihal pemerhatian dan cerita benar bermula dari Aroma Haji, Tahalul dan Budaya, Watak2 Contoh seperti Hj Daud Tg Karang, Pergerakan Haji, & Doa-doa Pilihan. Kemabruran haji penulis agak terserlah dalam penceritaan ini. Saya seronok membacanya dan mendapat apa yg ingin digambarkan. Di m/s 226 kata penulis "Saya mahu buku ringkas ini dapat memberi manafaat sebagaimana niat asal ia ditulis. Dalam konteks ini, saya melihat ibadat haji mampu menjadi penyebab kepada perubahan iman yg signifikan".
Hari ini saya meneruskan hari minggu saya dengan membaca buku Misteri Solat Subuh sehingga mukasurat 96 dari 147. Waktu solat Subuh dari terbit fajar sampai terbit matahari. Solat Subuh memang solat wajib yg paling sedikit rakaatnya namun ia menjadi pengukur iman dan ujian terhadap kejujuran kerana waktunya yg sangat terhad itu.
Seandainya ada orang kaya yg berjanji memberi kita duit RM1 juta setiap hari pada pukul 5:30 pagi jika datang tepat pada waktunya, apakah kita akan datang? Cuba bayangkan sekiranya kita benar2 datang setiap hari nescaya kita mendapat sebanyak RM365 juta genap setahun. Kemudian cuba bayangkan setelah satu tahun ajal datang menjemput kita. Apakah kita mahu dimasukkan ke liang lahad dengan membawa RM365 juta dalam keadaan tidak melaksanakan solat subuh walaupun sekali? Atau kita dimasukkan ke kubur dengan membawa 365 solat subuh tetapi kita tidak membawa duit walau sesen pun. Jawablah dengan jujur. Mana yang lebih kekal dan bermanafaat? Manusia begitu bersemangat bangun di pagi hari untuk mengumpul harta kekayaan namun tidak berdaya bangun untuk mengumpul kebaikan iaitu untuk solat subuh.
Cuba renugkan, sekiranya isteri atau anak mengejutkan kita pada pukul 5:30 pagi dan berteriak "Rumah jiran sebelah kita kebakaran!". Jawablah dengan jujur, apakah kita akan segera melompat dari tempat tidur dan memakai pakaian seadanya kemudian kita sekeluarga berlari keluar atau apakah kita akan berkata kepada isteri atau anak, "Biarlah saya tidur, kerana saya letih kerana terlambat tidur dan banyak kerja yang saya perlu lakukan esok, InsyaAllah api itu akan padam jua". Apakah kita akan berkata begitu? Jawablah dengan jujur, mana yg lebih menakutkan kebakaran di rumah jiran atau api neraka jahannam di akhirat nanti? Mana yg lebih menyakitkan, api dunia atau api akhirat? Tepuk dada tanya iman. Misteri Solat Subuh, another good book.
Solat adalah tonggak mukmin sebenar. Tanpanya hilanglah pahala ganjaran, sia2lah segala amalan dan terungkailah teras keimanan. Ia menjadi garis pemisah antara keimanan dan kekufuran, penyaring Mukmin dari kemunafikan. Mereka yang tetap menjaganya akan mendapat rahmat dan limpahan keredhaan Allah. Sebaliknya, mereka yg lalai atau selalu terleka darinya akan sentiasa dihimpit kesusahan, dibelit keresahan serta mendapat kebinasaan di akhirat kelak.

Khusyuk Dalam Solat
Alhamdulillah saya sekeluarga berkesempatan mengunjungi Pesta Buku di PWTC pada hari ahad lalu. Ramai nya pengunjung menunjukkan kepekaan kepada ilmu pengetahuan atau sekadar memeriahkan suasana bargain hunting for books. Ramai personaliti public figure yang saya nampak termasuklah Ust Zaharuddin, Rabbanni, Faisal Tehrani, Ain Maisarah, Syed Munawir, & Nazri Raihan. Pelbagai buku menarik telah kami beli termasuklah hard cover Riyadhus Salihin Jilid 1 & 2, Fadhilat Amal, 6 buku karya TGNA, 2 buku Azizi Ali (harga RM10 yg harga asal RM39 satu) iaitu The Millionare Chronicles & MXel (Five Keys To become An Extreme Millionares), buku latihan anak2 Ting 1, 4 & SPM, buku & majalah Gila2 (yg harga rm1 satu). Anak2 saya pula membeli novel2 kegemaran mereka.
Enam buku karya TGNA (Tuan Guru Nik Aziz) yg hangat macam goreng pisang itu ialah - Tundukkan Hati (Rahsia Keikhlasan Hidup Di Alam Fana), Akhlak Bermuamalat, T for Taqwa, Insan Ingatlah (Sebuah Panduan Menuju Hati Yang Tenang), Nota Kepada Diri, & Khusyuk Dalam Solat.
Alhamdulillah saya telah mulakan membaca sebuah buku karya TGNA keluaran NufairStreet, bertajuk Khusyuk Dalam Solat. Semalam di slot tazkirah pagi di syarikat saya, saya telah membacakan petikan dari buku itu yg bertajuk Hadir Hati Adalah Roh Solat untuk dikongsi bersama. Solat adalah ibadah utama yang akan dihisab terlebih awal di akhirat kelak oleh Alllah SWT, berbanding dgn amalan yg lain. Sekiranya solat seseorang itu dlm keadaan sempurna, maka barulah dihitung pula amalan yg lain.
Maka tidak syak lagi bahawa seseorang itu berzikir atau membaca dalam solat ialah untuk memuji Tuhan dan yg menjadi matlamat tidak lain melainkan Allah SWT. Solat itu adalah ditujukan kepada Allah SWT, namun percakapan itu akan menjadi sia2 jika tidak disertai dengan hati yang sentiasa ingat akan Allah, kerana hati adalah perantaraan atau wasilah dgn Allah SWT. Bagaimanakah hati boleh jadi perantaraan sekiranya ia dlm keadaan lalai, maka selama itulah segala bacaan itu tidak sampai kepada Allah SWT. Dengan sebab itu ia tidak akan dapat syuhud bersaksi kepada Allah SWT atau melihat Allah SWT dalam ertikata melihat dengan pandangan hati. Hati diciptakan oleh Allah SWT untuk mengenal dan melihat Allah SWT, namun tidak mungkin hati dapat syuhud jika dlm keadaan lalai.
Orang yg hatinya lalai di dlm solatnya, meskipun lidahnya bergerak menyebut lafaz zikir dan ayat Fatihah atau surah, namun gerak lidahnya itu bukan dari dorongan hati. Ia hanya bergerak disebabkan kebiasaan tentulah akan mudah terkeluar dari mulut mereka. Tetapi alangkah jauhnya dari tujuan solat yang difardhukan oleh Allah SWT itu, kerana yg dikatakan solat itu ialah hadir hati ketika melakukan ibadah tersebut. Hadir hati adalah nyawa kpd solat tersebut. Sesungguhnya sesiapa yg tahu rahsia hadir hati dlm solat, maka dgn sendirinya ia perlu tahu bahawa lalai itu ialah lawan bagi solat. Firman Allah dlm Surah Thaahaa ayat 14 yg bermaksud "Sesungguhnya Aku ini adalah Allah, tidak ada Tuhan selain Aku. Dan dirikanlah solat untuk mengingati Ku (Allah)".
Kesimpulannya hati yang sentiasa ingat dan mengikuti segala perbuatan dalam solat adalah menjadi nyawa kpd solat tersebut. Apabila hati lalai maka solat itu hanya tinggal rangka saja, sedangkan rohnya sudah melayang.
InsyaAllah buku ini sangat bermanafaat untuk peningkatan kualiti solat kita, janganlah setelah melakukannya sejak 20, 30, 40 tahun itu mutunya masih ditahap rangka tanpa roh. Alangkah ruginya kita. Justru buku ini padat dengan pengisian ilmu dlm membicarakan tajuk2 seperti Kesan Solat Yang Khusyuk, Hayati Makna Ayat Bagi Mencapai Khusyuk, Bersemuka Dan Bersoal Jawab Dengan Allah, Bahaya Lalai Ketika Takbiratul Ihram, Hubungan Kegiatan Harian Dengan Solat, Elak Percanggahan Antara Ucapan Dan Tindakan, Solat Dan Hubungannaya Dengan Akhirat, Makrifat Melahirkan Rasa Gerun Terhadap Allah, Mengharap Limpah Rahmat Dan Sifat Lutfillah, Menghias Solat Dengan Sifat Malu, Elak Gangguan Solat Dengan Membatasi Pandangan, Berdiri Solat Bagai Berdiri Di Padang Mahsyar, Pusatkan Hati Ke Arah Objek Yang Di Kehendaki, Antara Seruan Azan Dan Tiupan Israfil, Di Sebalik Kesulitan Menyahut Seruan Azan, Mengadap Allah SWT Sebagai Seorang Pesalah, dan banyak lagi. Kalau ada kelapangan sudi2lah mendapat buku kecil ini untuk panduan kita semua.

Wow Its So Exciting !!
I did came across this very posting by Raja Petra on the after effect of PRU12, what an exciting piece of scenario. I feel obliged to share with you guys on the prospect of this happening, God willing.
Ghapur Salleh actually wanted to resign from Umno Sabah just before the 8 March 2008 general elections so that he could contest the election on a PKR ticket. Anwar Ibrahim, however, would not allow him to do so. Ghapur grumbled to his friends that all Anwar needed to do was to give the word and he, plus a few other close associates in Umno Sabah, would cross-over and contest the election under the PKR banner. Anwar, of course, had his reasons. He wanted Sabah and Sarawak to be the 'reserve team' in the event the opposition wins enough seats to form the federal government.
As it now stands, the opposition has won 82 seats in Parliament and all it needs is another 30 to give it a two-seat majority over Barisan Nasional. 30 seats would make the score 112:110, all that is needed for His Majesty to do what the Federal Constitution of Malaysia requires him to do. And what His Majesty the Agong would have to do would be to appoint a new Prime Minister from amongst any of the 222 Members of the House who, in His Majesty's opinion, commands the confidence of the majority of the Member of the House. It is certainly very 'loose' though clearly worded but the way it has been written gives enormous powers to His Majesty the Agong to interpret 'opinion', 'commands' and 'confidence' the way His Majesty sees it. Most important of all, though, is that His Majesty need not 'seek advice from the Prime Minister' but instead can exercise his 'own discretion' in arriving at 'his opinion'.
Isn't the English language just lovely? And that is what it all boils down to, so the legal eagles can just stay out of this whole thing and allow the English teachers to step in to help properly interpret what the Federal Constitution of Malaysia says -- which is written in the Queen's English anyway. And 'Queen' here refers to Elizabeth II and not Freddie Mercury who died of AIDS.
So, does Anwar have 30 Barisan Nasional Members of Parliament safely tucked away? No, he does not have 30. Instead, he has thus far 38, the majority from Sabah and Sarawak. Did you not notice Anwar flying off to Sarawak the morning of 9 March and to Sabah the following day? And rest assured it was not to buy some Iban or Dayak hats. It was to conference with the Barisan Nasional leaders from these two East Malaysian states.
Abdullah Ahmad Badawi knew all this of course, as did his advisers on the fourth floor. However, instead of trying to win the hearts and minds of the East Malaysians, he antagonised them further when he offered the East Malaysian warlords just five Deputy Minister posts, and in very unimportant ministries on top of that.
Sabah and Sarawak brought in 54 Parliament seats to match the 86 from Peninsular Malaysia. Without these 54 Parliament seats from Sabah and Sarawak, Barisan Nasional would be having a mere four-seat majority over the opposition coalition of PKR, DAP and PAS -- while the popular votes garnered by Barisan Nasional would be less than half. It became slightly over half only when the Sabah and Sarawak votes were included.
20 of the 30 Barisan Nasional Members of Parliament from Sarawak have agreed to cross-over to the opposition while 16 of the 24 from Sabah will follow suit if Sarawak first takes the plunge. To start the ball rolling, Anifah Aman, brother to the Sabah Chief Minister, rejected the offer for the post of Deputy Minister and with about half a dozen or so other Sabah warlords flew off to Melbourne to meet the other warlords from Sarawak. They have been there since last week; planning, plotting and scheming their moves, which they will make when the time is right. Rest assured Anifah would not act without the consent of his brother, Musa Aman.
They will of course not make their move now. They are waiting for May 2008. By midnight of 14 April 2008, Anwar will be eligible to contest the elections and probably Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim will resign his Bandar Tun Razak seat or Zulkilfi Nordin his Kulim seat. A by-election will then be called and Anwar will of course be that PKR candidate to contest the by-election. On 5 May 2008, Parliament will be convened with Anwar now a Member of Parliament. From 7 May 2008 onwards, 82 opposition Members of Parliament will be able to table a motion of no confidence against Abdullah, supported by no less than 38 Barisan Nasional Members of Parliament, as it now stands. The 38 Members of Parliament from Barisan Nasional is of course the latest tally taken this morning. 7 May 2008 is still more than a month away and one day is a long time in politics, what more 40 days. So expect this 38 to grow further and it should not come as a surprise if the final tally is no longer just a simple majority but a resounding two-thirds majority. Will we see, therefore, Anwar finally taking office as the Sixth Prime Minister of Malaysia?
Nevertheless, while all this is going on, another candidate for the post of the Sixth Prime Minister of Malaysia is also moving very rapidly in the background. And this man is the resident of that very imposing White House-like abode along Langgak Golf.
Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah has not been sleeping. He has been aggressively meeting hundreds of people from all over Malaysia. Even as you read this Tengku Razaleigh is hosting more than 100 Umno division and branch leaders to a sumptuous feast in his office cum home behind the United States Embassy.
Tengku Razaleigh is going a slightly different route though. While Anwar is working on a 'no confidence' vote in Parliament, Tengku Razaleigh is working on the 193 Umno divisions. And he, thus far, has 74 Umno divisions with him. He needs at least 58 nominations to be able to contest against the party President cum Prime Minister. But that is only if he wishes to contest the August 2008 party elections, which Abdullah is trying to postpone till 2009.
August 2008 is too late. 2009 even later. By then Anwar may already be Prime Minister. So Tengku Razaleigh can't afford to wait till August. He must move now. And, on 4 April 2008, Tengku Razaleigh is organising a rally at his home base in Gua Musang. If he can get more than 100 Umno divisions to attend his rally, then he can push for an EGM on 11 May 2008 whereby the party constitution can be amended to allow the 'normal' two-nomination-only to contest, just like what it is for all the other positions -- plus he probably can get a vote of no confidence against the party president passed as well.
Yes, it is certainly going to be a close race. Tengku Razaleigh will make his move on 4 April while Anwar can make his only after 14 April. Then, Anwar can make his second move after 7 May while Tengku Razaleigh will make his on 11 May.
It will be a photo-finish and a win by the nose. But whose nose will it be that will cross the finishing line first? Hey, I can't reveal all just yet. Khairy Jamaluddin and his boys are reading this too, you know. Let's first of all see if they succeed in postponing the August 2008 Umno party elections to 2009. If they fail, then Tengku Razaleigh is well-poised to become the next Prime Minister. If they succeed in postponing the party elections, well, then I suppose my money will have to be on Anwar. Did I not tell you that Malaysia is an exciting country?
Ghapur Salleh actually wanted to resign from Umno Sabah just before the 8 March 2008 general elections so that he could contest the election on a PKR ticket. Anwar Ibrahim, however, would not allow him to do so. Ghapur grumbled to his friends that all Anwar needed to do was to give the word and he, plus a few other close associates in Umno Sabah, would cross-over and contest the election under the PKR banner. Anwar, of course, had his reasons. He wanted Sabah and Sarawak to be the 'reserve team' in the event the opposition wins enough seats to form the federal government.
As it now stands, the opposition has won 82 seats in Parliament and all it needs is another 30 to give it a two-seat majority over Barisan Nasional. 30 seats would make the score 112:110, all that is needed for His Majesty to do what the Federal Constitution of Malaysia requires him to do. And what His Majesty the Agong would have to do would be to appoint a new Prime Minister from amongst any of the 222 Members of the House who, in His Majesty's opinion, commands the confidence of the majority of the Member of the House. It is certainly very 'loose' though clearly worded but the way it has been written gives enormous powers to His Majesty the Agong to interpret 'opinion', 'commands' and 'confidence' the way His Majesty sees it. Most important of all, though, is that His Majesty need not 'seek advice from the Prime Minister' but instead can exercise his 'own discretion' in arriving at 'his opinion'.
Isn't the English language just lovely? And that is what it all boils down to, so the legal eagles can just stay out of this whole thing and allow the English teachers to step in to help properly interpret what the Federal Constitution of Malaysia says -- which is written in the Queen's English anyway. And 'Queen' here refers to Elizabeth II and not Freddie Mercury who died of AIDS.
So, does Anwar have 30 Barisan Nasional Members of Parliament safely tucked away? No, he does not have 30. Instead, he has thus far 38, the majority from Sabah and Sarawak. Did you not notice Anwar flying off to Sarawak the morning of 9 March and to Sabah the following day? And rest assured it was not to buy some Iban or Dayak hats. It was to conference with the Barisan Nasional leaders from these two East Malaysian states.
Abdullah Ahmad Badawi knew all this of course, as did his advisers on the fourth floor. However, instead of trying to win the hearts and minds of the East Malaysians, he antagonised them further when he offered the East Malaysian warlords just five Deputy Minister posts, and in very unimportant ministries on top of that.
Sabah and Sarawak brought in 54 Parliament seats to match the 86 from Peninsular Malaysia. Without these 54 Parliament seats from Sabah and Sarawak, Barisan Nasional would be having a mere four-seat majority over the opposition coalition of PKR, DAP and PAS -- while the popular votes garnered by Barisan Nasional would be less than half. It became slightly over half only when the Sabah and Sarawak votes were included.
20 of the 30 Barisan Nasional Members of Parliament from Sarawak have agreed to cross-over to the opposition while 16 of the 24 from Sabah will follow suit if Sarawak first takes the plunge. To start the ball rolling, Anifah Aman, brother to the Sabah Chief Minister, rejected the offer for the post of Deputy Minister and with about half a dozen or so other Sabah warlords flew off to Melbourne to meet the other warlords from Sarawak. They have been there since last week; planning, plotting and scheming their moves, which they will make when the time is right. Rest assured Anifah would not act without the consent of his brother, Musa Aman.
They will of course not make their move now. They are waiting for May 2008. By midnight of 14 April 2008, Anwar will be eligible to contest the elections and probably Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim will resign his Bandar Tun Razak seat or Zulkilfi Nordin his Kulim seat. A by-election will then be called and Anwar will of course be that PKR candidate to contest the by-election. On 5 May 2008, Parliament will be convened with Anwar now a Member of Parliament. From 7 May 2008 onwards, 82 opposition Members of Parliament will be able to table a motion of no confidence against Abdullah, supported by no less than 38 Barisan Nasional Members of Parliament, as it now stands. The 38 Members of Parliament from Barisan Nasional is of course the latest tally taken this morning. 7 May 2008 is still more than a month away and one day is a long time in politics, what more 40 days. So expect this 38 to grow further and it should not come as a surprise if the final tally is no longer just a simple majority but a resounding two-thirds majority. Will we see, therefore, Anwar finally taking office as the Sixth Prime Minister of Malaysia?
Nevertheless, while all this is going on, another candidate for the post of the Sixth Prime Minister of Malaysia is also moving very rapidly in the background. And this man is the resident of that very imposing White House-like abode along Langgak Golf.
Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah has not been sleeping. He has been aggressively meeting hundreds of people from all over Malaysia. Even as you read this Tengku Razaleigh is hosting more than 100 Umno division and branch leaders to a sumptuous feast in his office cum home behind the United States Embassy.
Tengku Razaleigh is going a slightly different route though. While Anwar is working on a 'no confidence' vote in Parliament, Tengku Razaleigh is working on the 193 Umno divisions. And he, thus far, has 74 Umno divisions with him. He needs at least 58 nominations to be able to contest against the party President cum Prime Minister. But that is only if he wishes to contest the August 2008 party elections, which Abdullah is trying to postpone till 2009.
August 2008 is too late. 2009 even later. By then Anwar may already be Prime Minister. So Tengku Razaleigh can't afford to wait till August. He must move now. And, on 4 April 2008, Tengku Razaleigh is organising a rally at his home base in Gua Musang. If he can get more than 100 Umno divisions to attend his rally, then he can push for an EGM on 11 May 2008 whereby the party constitution can be amended to allow the 'normal' two-nomination-only to contest, just like what it is for all the other positions -- plus he probably can get a vote of no confidence against the party president passed as well.
Yes, it is certainly going to be a close race. Tengku Razaleigh will make his move on 4 April while Anwar can make his only after 14 April. Then, Anwar can make his second move after 7 May while Tengku Razaleigh will make his on 11 May.

Tsunami PRU12
PRU12 tsunami caught everybody by suprise. With only about 51% of popular votes go to BN, they only managed to get 140 out of 222 parliment seats. And 56% of it come from 3 states - Sabah, Sarawak, & Johor. With 5 states now controlled by BA shows BN really in deep shit and rejected by the majority of Malays, Chinese, & Indian that votes BN before.
The way I see it so far on the major factors contribute to the swings of vote to PKR, PAS & DAP are - First, DSAI factor where during the campaigning and before, he managed to highlight the issues of mismanagements and inefficiencies of the government. He talked about the hikes of fuel price, which have domino effect to the price of other basic items, and narrow down to corruption as the mother of the problems. He counter all the allegations made by Pak Lah & Najib one by one. He clearly said and stand by it, to reduce fuel price by taking RM10b from Petronas RM80b nett profit, and another rm10b to finance free education from primary schools up to university level for people with income less than rm10k per month, and believe me you and I belong to this category. Not like when Najib announce automatically free fees for MRSM students whose parents have income below RM650 per month, so hardcore poor, so out of touch.
Back to Petronas after deduction of that RM20b, left with RM60b on Petronas nett profit and still a huge amount that can still be used for overseas investments, new exploration, ect, that government keep saying all this while. Clear and precise! He is not touching other government incomes such as corporate taxes, manufacturing, exports items, ect. Just purely Petronas nett profit of that huge RM80b. With that, DSAI had counter the allegation that the country can go bankrupt if he is allowed to do the above.
He added during his 8 years tenure as Finance Minister he managed to sustain Petrol price at RM1.10 per litre whereby Petronas nett profit at the time was only RM25b. But now with Petronas nett profit of RM80b the Petrol price keep rising up to RM1.90 per litre. What make Malaysia bankrupt according to him is the corruption in term of commissions that goes to the pocket of BN leaders on the nations business transactions such as when buying fighter jets, submarines, and 'lands turn big project'. Thousands of people attended his rally and they can relate to the issues and decided this is the time for change and translate it in their casting on 8th Mac.
Second factor for me, is the lembik administration of Pak Lah. He failed to address wharever little issues that crop up for the past 4 years or very slow to act. His promise to fight rasuah also like melepas batuk di tangga. Furthermore he was surrounding by advisers or pengampus that have personal agenda or business agenda. As Husam Musa put it, 70% of BN candidates are business enclined, they are thinking of how to make them well off, not about how to make the people well off. KJ also seen as having too much influence on Pak Lah. Internal problems within Umno especially in Kelantan, Terengganu, Kedah & Selangor start with a desease turn to be a time bomb. And the rakyat see their leaders as arrogant with their lifestyles including big houses and fancy cars, where the rakyat have to fight with the high cost of living. In a way, the leaders did not keep their feet on the ground with the grassroot. Safe states like Johor, NS & Melaka also no longer safe.
Pak Lah must improve drastically, else BN will be history come next PRU. As Prof Amri of UKM mentioned in RTM1, people want to see the lineup of the new cabinets, relations with the 5 states, and the implementation of those 'corridors' announced before PRU12. On the same token, BA must shows they can do the job, else sayonara, people power. Too bad to hear sudah ada "gaduh2" between PAS & DAP in Kedah & Perak. Hope PKR especially DSAI to give quality leadership for the bird-eye view of the whole situation and raise to the occassion and make the best of the opportunity given by the rakyat in PRU12. Good luck!
Third, Tun M also in a way potray Pak Lah as incapable of leading the nation. The admission of his mistake in appointing Pak Lah instead of Najib as PM really put a nonconfidence picture to the nation and damage to Pak Lah. Especially so in Kedah Tun M birthplace, people votes for BA. And they promoted Mukhriz to show their respect for Tun M. But the agony of it is that even after the demolision of PMU12 they all united to sokong Pak Lah and nobody really stand up to tell PM straight on the face what really goes wrong except a little hint now and then, Mukhriz also chicken out. Probably too much at stakes.
Fourth, the indian really piss off with the legacy of Samy Vellu. And the Hindraf issue also getting out of hand. Indian totally reject Sami Vellu, Kayveas and the gang. The act of the police that seen as denying the freedom of expression by the way of peaceful demonstration and ceramah such as Bersih, Hindraf gathering and PAS/PKR/DAP ceramah also left a bitter marks. The last minute cancellation of stamping and edible inks added wound to the existing issues of undi pos, multi votes, fake ICs & phantom votes. People feel that SPR act as an agent to protect gevernment interest and will do wharever dirty job to win the seats for BN, SPR is not a neutral body. Chinese votes also goes to BA this time around with the accumulation of hidden issues and grieveness whatever they are.
And last but not least, rakyat really fedup with the propoganda in prime medias controlled by the government without room for fair coverage to the alternative group. They turn to alternative media such as blogs, sms & webpages and make full use of it. This people especially who resides is Klang Valley go back to their hometown and votes for BA and influence their parents, relatives & friends to vote against BN as well. The "umpan" for development is no longer can attract the voters except for Sabah & Sarawak which were by far 2-3 years behind Semenanjung interm of politic awareness and education. Looks like the Orang Utan ooops the Umno got to now make use of the alternative media as well and not to call bloggers as beruk anymore.
But at the end its boil down to what Tok Guru concluded - this is because BN turn their back from the true teaching of Islam. Human have their plan but Allah have His plan and Allah plan is definitely the most superior of all !!

Warren Buffet
There was a one hour interview on CNBC with Warren Buffet, the second richest man who has donated $31 billion to charity. Following are some very interesting aspects of his life:-
• He bought his first share at age 11 and he now regrets that he started too late! Things were very cheap that time. Encourage your children to invest.
• He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering newspapers. One could have bought many things with little savings. Encourage your children to start some kind of business.
• He still lives in the same small 3-bedroom house in mid-town Omaha that he bought after he got married 50 years ago. He says that he has everything he needs in that house. His house does not have a wall or a fence. Don't buy more than what you "really need" and encourage your children to do and think the same.
• He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or security people around him. You are what you are.
• He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world's largest private jet company. Always think how you can accomplish things economically.
• His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companies. He writes only one letter each year to the CEOs of these companies, giving them goals for the year. He never holds meetings or calls them on a regular basis. Assign the right people to the right jobs.
• He has given his CEO's only two rules.
Rule number 1: Do not lose any of your share holder's money.
Rule number 2: Do not forget rule number 1.
Set goals and make sure people focus on them.
• He does not socialize with the high society crowd. His past time after he gets home is to make himself some pop corn and watch Television. Don't try to show off, just be your self and do what you enjoy doing.
• Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on his desk. Bill Gates, the world's richest man met him for the first time only 5 years ago. Bill Gates did not think he had anything in common with Warren Buffet. So he had scheduled his meeting only for half hour. But when Gates met him, the meeting lasted for ten hours and Bill Gates became a devotee of Warren Buffet.
His advice to young people:
"Stay away from credit cards (bank loans) and invest in yourself and Remember:
A. Money doesn't create man but it is the man who created money.
B. Live your life as simple as you are.
C. Don't do what others say, just listen them, but do what you feel good.
D. Don't go on brand name; just wear those things in which you feel comfortable.
E. Don't waste your money on unnecessary things; just spend on them who really in need rather.
F. After all it's your life then why gives chance to others to rule our life."
The HAPPIEST people DO NOT necessarily have the BEST of all. They simply APPRECIATE what they find on their way”. Let us choose the way to live !!

Pesan Tok Guru
Malam tadi saya telah mengikuti satu kuliah maghrib di surau al-Faizeen oleh Ustaz Ayob Al-Hafiz dan mengenai pilihanraya ini beliau ada menyebut iaitu beliau sering di tanya oleh ahli jemaah dan agak bosan juga di bawa ke dlm diskusi penuh polimik dan alasan tak berkesudahan bagi menegak pandangan masing2. Kerana jawapan beliau akan sentiasa di counter balik dsb. Kadang tu rasanya dia nak cuti dari kuliah maghrib sepanjang musim pilihanraya ini. Jadi once and for all dia nak jelaskan pada khariah surau kami iaitu bagi dia clear iaitu kita kena ikut cara Rasulullah saw berpolitik berdasarkan sebuah hadis, iaitu mencari keredhaan Allah di atas jalan yang nyata dan tidak samar2. Jelas.
Maka saya paparkan di sini pesanan Tok Guru suatu masa dahulu. Katanya - Masalah pilihan ini bukan berlaku setiap lima tahun sekali. Pilihan berlaku setiap hari, setiap jam, setiap saat kerana manusia itu ditakdir oleh Allah swt hidup di muka dunia ini diapit dan dikapit oleh malaikat di sebelah kanan, syaitan di sebelah kiri. Tidak kira orang ini Yang Berhormat, Yang Amat Berhormat, Yang Amat Arif. Tiap-tiap manusia di muka dunia ini diapit dengan kiraman katibin, dengan malaikat yang mencatit amalan baik, malaikat yang mencatit amalan jahat.
Bila berdepan dengan sesuatu perkara , manusia secara otomatik terpaksa memilih samada hendak menurut kehendak malaikat, hendak turut kehendak syaitan, samada sedar atau tidak. Setiap saat, setiap masa, setiap jam, manusia terpaksa memilih. Memilih samada makanan, minuman, pakaian, duit, berniaga, memangkah. Memilih apa sahaja pun. Manusia terpaksa memilih, kerana memang begitu peribadi atau tabiat manusia.
Kita sebagai seorang Muslim yang akil baligh telah diberi panduan hidup oleh Allah swt supaya kita memilih barang yang baik. Tidak ada yang baik di muka dunia ini, kecuali perkara yang telah ditetapkan baiknya oleh Allah swt. Maka bagi kita orang mukmin tetap memilih perkara yang baik, dan tidak ada perkara yang baik, saya ulangi, melainkan perkara yang dikatakan baik oleh Allah swt.
Dan tidaklah harus bagi orang-orang yang beriman, lelaki dan perempuan - apabila Allah dan RasulNya menetapkan keputusan mengenai sesuatu perkara - (tidaklah harus mereka) mempunyai hak memilih ketetapan sendiri mengenai urusan mereka. Dan sesiapa yang tidak taat kepada hukum Allah dan RasulNya maka sesungguhnya ia telah sesat dengan kesesatan yang jelas nyata. (al Ahzab: 36)
Mudah-mudahan pesanan ini direnung dan diamalkan oleh kita semua dengan serius dan penuh tanggungjawab demi maruah dan masa depan agama, bangsa dan negara kita yang tercinta. Jazakallah.

Pilihanraya Ke 12
Yes parlimen sudah di bubar. Bendera & banner BN sudah berselerakan di tepi2 jalan. Bendera Keadilan & PAS sudah di pacak di atas puncak2 bukit dan pokok sejak 2 minggu lalu. Demam pilihanraya sudah tiba. Bilek2 gerakan sudah panas.
Malam tadi saya tengok program TV1 pasal pilihanraya. Ada setiausaha SPR iaitu Dato Kamaruzzaman menyatakan "tiada penipuan berlaku, proses pilihanraya berlaku dgn telus, banyak kelemahan sudah diperbaiki, dan SPR melakukan yg terbaik berdasarkan kerangka undang2 dibawah jurisdiction SPR". SPR akan menentukan Senarai Pemilih manakah yg akan di gazette kan untuk di guna pakai bagi pilihanraya ke-12 ini. Maknanya sesiapa yg ada namanya dlm Senarai Pemilih ini layak untuk mengundi.
Apabila di tanya tentang kepincangan...
1. Pengundi hantu - katanya apa yg mungkin berlaku ialah pengundi sudah tidak menetap di situ untuk sekelian lama, tetapi time pilihanraya dia balik mengundi & dia eligible untuk mengundi kerana namanya ada dlm senarai pemilih di situ.
2. Nama tak ada dlm senarai pemilih - kemungkinan berlaku kerana nama itu telah ditukar ke daerah mengundi yg baru. Kerana SPR berhak melakukan pemindahan tempat mengundi ke kawasan berjiranan sekiranya jumlah pengundi di sesuatu daerah mengundi itu melebihi 3,850 org. (Di sini pemindahan tempat mengundi atau persempadan semula boleh dibuat secara legal dari segi undang2 namun mungkin ada kepentingan pihak2 tertentu especially parti memerintah) SPR sebenarnya memaparkan senarai pemilih ini untuk orang awam di pejabat SPR dan tempat2 awam tertentu untuk semakan. Atau pemilih juga boleh menyemak dlm website SPR.
3. Org mati mengundi - SPR tidak akan delete nama org mati dari senarai pemilih selagi mana tidak mendapat arahan dari Jab Pendaftaran Negara kerana urusan pendaftaran kematian itu adalah di bwh kuasa JPN. Jadi sekiranya ada seseorang membawa IC si mati dan mengundi maka ia mungkin berlaku. Namun ia adalah satu kesalahan dari segi undang2.
4. Pasal undi pos - terdapat beberapa kategori yg eligible untuk undi pos yg terkandung dlm akta pilihanraya iaitu tentera, diplomat, pelajar di luar negara sepenuh masa, kakitgn SPR yg bertugas, polis, beserta pasangan masing2. Katanya prosesnya telus iaitu pengundi kena mengisi borang identiti & kertas undi yg keduanya punyai no.siri yg sama untuk mengelak penipuan yg mesti disahkan sebelum dpt mengundi. Kemudian undi di buat secara sulit dan kertas undi dimasukkan ke dlm peti undi. Agen2 calon di maklumkan tentang step2 proses undian pos itu dan tarikh membuka kertas undi dsb.
5. Tentang peti undi hilang atau di manipulate - katanya petiundi itu akan di seal pada pukul 5ptg dan di tandatgn oleh Pegawai SPR, & Agen calon2 yg bertanding pada pusat mengundi itu. Maknanya tiada lagi kertas undi yg boleh dimasuk atau dikeluarkan dari peti undi. Kemudian peti undi itu akan di buka dan segala isinya dilambakkan di atas meja untuk proses pengiraan undi. Setiap helai kertas yg di kira itu di paparkan kpd agen calon dan yg kertas undi yg tak jelas akan dimasukkan ke dlm satu kotak 'keraguan' dan akan di akan ditentukan kemudian oleh semua pihak yg terlibat itu samada ianya undi rosak dsb. Bagi keputusan yg bezanya 4% atau kurang maka pengiraan semula boleh dilakukan. Setelah pengiraan selesai kertas2 undi itu akan dimasukkan semula ke dalam peti undi itu & borang keputusan disahkan oleh pegawai SPR dan agen2 calon yg bertanding. Selepas itu peti undi itu akan di bawa ke pusat pengiraan daerah, namun ia tidak akan dikira sekali lagi. Hanya borang keputusan tadi dari tempat undian, yg akan diambil kira sebagai keputusan rasmi untuk digandingkan dgn tempat2 undian yg lain dari daerah pengundian itu.
6. Pasal unfair airtime on TV - SPR kata itu bukan bidang kuasa dia, tu kena runding dgn RTM, Astro, NTV7, TV3 dsb.
Itulah yg dijelaskan oleh setiausaha SPR. Ada seorang lagi ahli panel itu Prof Sains Politik dari UKM kalau tak silap, menyatakan mungkin penjelasan dari SPR menampakkan ketelusan proses namun rakyat masih tidak berpuas hati kerana penyelewengan dan penipuan memang berlaku dan dialami oleh ampunya badan misalnya. Dan penyelewengan itu mungkin bukan dibuat oleh SPR tetapi pihak yg lain seperti parti2 politik atau individu2 yg berkepentingan. Contohnya mengundi menggunakan IC palsu mungkin boleh berlaku.
Ada seorang caller dari Sabah bagi komen, katanya kenapa kedua2 ahli panel di ambil dari orang kerajaan kerana sudah tentu komen mereka pro kerajaan. Sepatutnya ada wakil dari pihak pembangkang. Supaya penjelasan kedua2 pihak dapat diambil kira untuk penilaian rakyat yg menonton. Jadi pengerusi tu jawab, program itu sebenarnya untuk menjelaskan persediaan untuk menghadapi pilihanraya ke-12 dan bukannya medan perdebatan untuk mencari siapa menang siapa kalah. Standard la tu...he he.
Itu lah ceritonya, panas, panas, jom kita bincang hal ehwal pilihanraya, jom, jom....bagi komen anda secara berhemah dan konstraktif agar admin tak delete he he..
Tunailah tanggungjawab untuk mengundi pemimpin anda. Undi anda adalah sulit dan rahsia. Tak payah beritau sesiapa. It is between you and Allah. Gunakan akal dan ilmu yg diberikanNya untuk sama2 kita menilai yang baik dan buruk, demi mencari keredhaanNya. Semoga kita semua selamat dunia & akhirat, InsyaAllah.
Malam tadi saya tengok program TV1 pasal pilihanraya. Ada setiausaha SPR iaitu Dato Kamaruzzaman menyatakan "tiada penipuan berlaku, proses pilihanraya berlaku dgn telus, banyak kelemahan sudah diperbaiki, dan SPR melakukan yg terbaik berdasarkan kerangka undang2 dibawah jurisdiction SPR". SPR akan menentukan Senarai Pemilih manakah yg akan di gazette kan untuk di guna pakai bagi pilihanraya ke-12 ini. Maknanya sesiapa yg ada namanya dlm Senarai Pemilih ini layak untuk mengundi.
Apabila di tanya tentang kepincangan...
1. Pengundi hantu - katanya apa yg mungkin berlaku ialah pengundi sudah tidak menetap di situ untuk sekelian lama, tetapi time pilihanraya dia balik mengundi & dia eligible untuk mengundi kerana namanya ada dlm senarai pemilih di situ.
2. Nama tak ada dlm senarai pemilih - kemungkinan berlaku kerana nama itu telah ditukar ke daerah mengundi yg baru. Kerana SPR berhak melakukan pemindahan tempat mengundi ke kawasan berjiranan sekiranya jumlah pengundi di sesuatu daerah mengundi itu melebihi 3,850 org. (Di sini pemindahan tempat mengundi atau persempadan semula boleh dibuat secara legal dari segi undang2 namun mungkin ada kepentingan pihak2 tertentu especially parti memerintah) SPR sebenarnya memaparkan senarai pemilih ini untuk orang awam di pejabat SPR dan tempat2 awam tertentu untuk semakan. Atau pemilih juga boleh menyemak dlm website SPR.
3. Org mati mengundi - SPR tidak akan delete nama org mati dari senarai pemilih selagi mana tidak mendapat arahan dari Jab Pendaftaran Negara kerana urusan pendaftaran kematian itu adalah di bwh kuasa JPN. Jadi sekiranya ada seseorang membawa IC si mati dan mengundi maka ia mungkin berlaku. Namun ia adalah satu kesalahan dari segi undang2.
4. Pasal undi pos - terdapat beberapa kategori yg eligible untuk undi pos yg terkandung dlm akta pilihanraya iaitu tentera, diplomat, pelajar di luar negara sepenuh masa, kakitgn SPR yg bertugas, polis, beserta pasangan masing2. Katanya prosesnya telus iaitu pengundi kena mengisi borang identiti & kertas undi yg keduanya punyai no.siri yg sama untuk mengelak penipuan yg mesti disahkan sebelum dpt mengundi. Kemudian undi di buat secara sulit dan kertas undi dimasukkan ke dlm peti undi. Agen2 calon di maklumkan tentang step2 proses undian pos itu dan tarikh membuka kertas undi dsb.
5. Tentang peti undi hilang atau di manipulate - katanya petiundi itu akan di seal pada pukul 5ptg dan di tandatgn oleh Pegawai SPR, & Agen calon2 yg bertanding pada pusat mengundi itu. Maknanya tiada lagi kertas undi yg boleh dimasuk atau dikeluarkan dari peti undi. Kemudian peti undi itu akan di buka dan segala isinya dilambakkan di atas meja untuk proses pengiraan undi. Setiap helai kertas yg di kira itu di paparkan kpd agen calon dan yg kertas undi yg tak jelas akan dimasukkan ke dlm satu kotak 'keraguan' dan akan di akan ditentukan kemudian oleh semua pihak yg terlibat itu samada ianya undi rosak dsb. Bagi keputusan yg bezanya 4% atau kurang maka pengiraan semula boleh dilakukan. Setelah pengiraan selesai kertas2 undi itu akan dimasukkan semula ke dalam peti undi itu & borang keputusan disahkan oleh pegawai SPR dan agen2 calon yg bertanding. Selepas itu peti undi itu akan di bawa ke pusat pengiraan daerah, namun ia tidak akan dikira sekali lagi. Hanya borang keputusan tadi dari tempat undian, yg akan diambil kira sebagai keputusan rasmi untuk digandingkan dgn tempat2 undian yg lain dari daerah pengundian itu.

Tahun Baru Azam Baru
Long school holiday with my 3 kids passed by. We send Amir off at around 11:45pm on the nite of 31st Dec 2007 to MRSM Kubang Pasu, via PLUS highway on board Transnasional bus together with 2 other of his friends. He reached Alor Star at 4:30am. Check-in to a cheap motel that charge RM15 for about 4 hours awaiting daylight at Shahab Bus Station. After a nap, nice bath, put on the batik uniform, good breakfast, they took a taxi to MRSM with RM20 fee shared by 3. The registration day started at around 10am. The fee RM540 and pocket money of RM60 for him. Needs to spend RM165 for text books at later stage as MRSM was not eligible for the free text books provided to all schools under Education Ministry. Pitty isn't it. MRSM is under Kementerian Keusahawanan.
On the 31st Dec, earlier in the morning took care of our youngest kid Iman entering form 1 Dinamik at SMK Bukit Sentosa. Attended the briefing and informed that about 800 students for form 1 enrollment this year with 22 new classes. Thats right 22 classes. She is in the 6th best class based on her UPSR result of 3A 2B. They do the filtering up to 3As and the first 5 classes were mean for 4As and 5As. The total student population of the school is 2,800. She got the free text books. We spend RM65 at the koperasi shop & another RM78 on various fee. Throughout the school briefing I cannot help but noticed the majority of the teachers are voicing their problems especially on the infrastructure and highlighting their hardworks for some attention. But the parents such as me also have tons of problems to deal with and sometime we don't want to here another problem but to focus on the solution to the problem. Hmmmm.. another word we have enough headache already. But anyway I very much agree that we as a parent need to pay full attention to the kids especially teenagers. They are in a transition period that need to be guided and put in a good direction and proper perspective.
On Wed 2nd Jan 2008, I got to take half a day off to send my daughter Nur Farihin in a rush before 4pm to check-in at her hostel at SAMT KKB, her current school. I first thought form 4 students will start the schooling at a later stage and not at the same time as the rest of the students. My call to the school office around 11am proof otherwise. She got 4A 4B 1C in her PMR, way below her expectation of 8As. As a result she is not eligible to enroll in Science stream. We apply for a transfer to another school, SAMER that have Science stream earlier as well as to get a new environment for her. But based on the result, even if the application for the transfer was approved by Jais, the best class possible for her is in Account Principle class. Yesterday, she called and told us that at SAMT she is in the top class of 4.1, which is the Account Principle class anyway and sound quite happy about it. SAMT-KKB do not have Science stream. So my wife and I are thinking, probably she should just stay put at SAMT-KKB. Her ambition all this while is to be a doctor and enroll in medic school in Russia most probably will not materialize. She is afraid of blood and most things associated with doctor operational works anyway unlike her sister Iman. So we advise her to become an accountant instead inline with her qualifacation and line of study now. She bought the idea. May this be a new beginning for her.
With those things settle down I am back to office. Put aside those holiday moods where I managed to take up quite a few days off utilising my annual leaves. It bring me closer to my kids by doing things together such as gardening, riding the scooter, play badminton, go to movies, go to malls, and solat berjemaah. With 2 out of 3 kids staying away then the noisy situation for the past 2 months in the house has gone back to quite pace. When they are around sometime we wish they go back to their hostel, but when they are gone how we wish they will be back home. Normal isn't it? Anyway kids growing up. Physically they will be going away but spiritually they always be close to us no matter what. My wish is Amir to learn from experience and surrounding himself with positive friends and value. Hope he realize sooner the significance of this year especially when SPM will be about 300 days around the corner. I pray to Allah for Amir to get 10A in his SPM and have a chance to study at one of the good college overseas or locally under MARA scholarship. I hope to personally guide Iman to be better. And as for Farihin we will giving her our attention and aligning her back to the right direction in the big picture.
My azam baru for this year is to try seriously on writing a book. Tunku Halim's creative seminar at MPH on 20 Jan 08 can be a good start. I also want to read more books this year. My target at least 2 books a month. Or better still a book a week. Hmmm at least 30 good books this year...yapp. Read Qur'an everyday without miss. And those personal debts, hope to somehow find a solution to manage it and finally make it gone. Help me Allah. I pray for good health. I want to have healthy living and peaceful life. Istiqamah in every little good things that I can possibly do. And to my wife, all the way with our FZ Frozen Food business.
Happy New Year To All !!

Kunjung Mengunjungi
Hari ini dah 27 Syawal. Raya kan sebulan. Anyway musim raya ni adalah masa terbaik untuk kunjung mengunjung saudara mara, rakan taulan, jiran tetangga, dan sesama muslim. Orang boleh terima, InsyaAllah. Maksudnya tak nampak peliklah. Inilah masanya mungkin dgn hanya bagi reason nak pi beraya, kita boleh berkunjung. Saban tahun sejak beberapa tahun kebelakangan ni aku selalu buat Open House dan menjemput kurang lebih 30 - 50 keluarga untuk ke rumah beraya at one shot. Penat memang penat tapi hanya fokus untuk satu hari tu je. Seronok gak. Namun pada tahun ni ubah teknik sikit. Aku tak buat Open House seperti biasa. Tapi rupanya lagi penat beb. Maklumlah setiap weekend ada je tetamu yang datang beraya. End up terpaksa prepare meal every weekend untuk sambut tetamu yang berkunjung. Kesian wife aku. Aku pun sama la kan, takleh nak relax. On weekend tu, biasanya satu hari (either Sat or Sun) kami peruntukkan untuk mengunjungi rumah orang dan satu hari untuk orang mengunjungi umah kami. So far kalau aku dapat recall aktiviti kunjung mengunjung kami sempena raya ni adalah seperti berikut...
1 Syawal - mengunjungi open house Pak Lah kat PWTC, rumah jiran kami di Prima iaitu Hj Md nor, Hj Hanis, & Hj Mokhtar.
2 Syawal - mengunjungi rumah kawan aku Yaacob di Bukit Ampang, keluarga Mahadir di Kondo Tiara Ampang, & kawan Pernec, Ismail di Kondo Sri Kinabalu.
7 Syawal - berkunjung ke rumah Rosli, keluarga kawan anakku Farihin di Sentosa 3.
8 Syawal - menerima tetamu keluarga kawan Amir iaitu en Mahadir & Nik, Kak Maya & Azlan. Wife masak nasi dagang dan nasi impit kuah satay.
9 Syawal - berkunjung ke open house rakan baik kami Bakar di rawang, En Azlan keluarga kawan baik anak kami Farihin, & Kak Maya, kenalan baik wife.
14 Syawal - berkunjung ke rumah jiran Rosli.
15 Syawal - berkunjung ke rumah Kak Aini di Batu Caves.
16 Syawal - menerima tetamu aitu kawan2 my wife, Ani bersama 3 keluarga lagi, dan Kak Yam sekeluarga.
20 Syawal - jamuan raya Fitos kat ofis.
21 Syawal - berkunjung ke rumah jiran, Hasanuddin.
22 Syawal - berkunjung ke open house Hj Mokhtar & Nizam dan malamnya jadi MC untuk majlis raya Pernec di ulu Klang. Sampai umah pukul 12:30mlm.
23 Syawal - berkunjung ke rumah jiran Hj Khairi. Kemudian menerima tetamu - keluarga Hj Mokhtar, Hj Zul, & Zakri. Kemudian kunjungan Badrul & Asri dari Lembah Beringin, jiran Hasanuddin dan Khairul, rakan Azmi & Rosli. Wife aku masak gulai ayam, roti jala, dan makaroni tomyam as menu utama di samping agar2 merah, kek buah, kek coklat, biskut2 raya.
Alhamdulillah, budaya kunjung mengunjung dan open house bagi mengiratkan silaturrahim telah dapat di teruskan jua. Namun ada juga elemen2 negetif yang boleh di ambil iktibar, contohnya..
1. Bila berkunjung secara berkumpulan contohnya 2, 3 keluarga satu group, ada yg dok berborak/mengumpat/gosip tanpa menghirau tuan rumah. Sepatutnya bertanya khabar atau berbual2 lah dengan tuan rumah, bukan kah kita sebagai tetamu tuan rumah. Jangan tuan rumah tu jadi macam tetamu lak. Kalau boleh ringan2 lah mulut untuk memberi sedikit pujian perihal juadah atau rumah. Teruja sikit tuan rumah tu.
2. Satu lagi group, aku tengok jenis cakap besar. Bila dah ada rezki lebih mula cakap besar, nak beli rumah banglo, nak menunjuk2 kereta baru, dsb. Cukup meluat aku dibuatnya.
3. Dan sekelompok lagi suka highlite benda2 negetif contohnya, rumah ni jauh, sunyi, tak ada orang, banyak rumah kosong, tak ada kedai. Dia tidak nampak the beauty lying around. Their mind has been blocked. Many negative people around us yg sebenarnya cuba menyembunyikan kelemahan diri sendiri dan cuba sedaya upaya menidakkan kebahagiaan dan kelebihan orang lain. To this group I just fill pity for them.
4. Yang honest dan ikhlas tu kita boleh nampak InsyaAllah. Dari nada komen yang bersahaja dan tanpa di buat2.
Kadang2 tu kawan2 dan jiran2 yang lebih prihatin dan cuba bersilaturrahim berbanding dengan adik beradik dan saudara mara sendiri. Kita selalu take for granted akan hubungan persaudaraan kita atas pertalian darah daging. Namun apapun Hari Raya yang rata2 di Klang Valley ini yg disambut selama sebulan adalah wadah terbaik dan sesuai untuk kunjung mengunjung dan mengeratkan tali silaturrahim sesama muslim, insyaAllah.

Selamat Hari Raya
Setiap tahun majoriti warga kota akan balik kampung untuk menyambut raya. Saya sekeluarga juga tidak terkecuali. Namun setelah 16 tahun dengan tradisi balik kampung, pada tahun ini saya sekeluarga tak balik kampung dan akan beraya di KL atas beberapa sebab tertentu. Ia merupakan satu pengalaman baru buat kami anak-beranak.
Justru saya dok merancang-rancang bagaimana untuk memanafaatkan sambutan Hari Raya di KL ini. Saya dok plan nak menunaikan solat sunat hari raya di Masjid Jln Duta. Lepas tu saya nak berkunjung ke rumah terbuka Pak Lah, YDP Agung, dsb. Saya nak gembirakan isteri & anak-anak dengan aktiviti raya dalam suasana raya. Saya risau gak, kot-kot mereka sedih atau boring. Maklumlah ramai sdra mara & kawan2 balik kampung semuanya. Petang dan mlm tu insyaAllah kami boleh berkunjung ke rumah jiran tetangga.
Namun apapun raikanlah hari raya sebagai hari kemenangan kita berjuang di bulan Ramadan itu. Kemenangan kerana mendapat rahmat Allah. Kemenangan kerana memperoleh keampunannya dari segala dosa kita. Dan hari untuk meraikan pembebasan dari api neraka. Itulah yang sebenarnya yang patut diraikan setelah sebulan menjalani ibadah puasa itu. Janganlah di sambut raya itu dengan kemungkaran dan kemaksiatan pula. Ingatlah bahawa syaitan tengah dok nak bersorak kegembiraan kerana akan terlepas bebas seperti sediakala. Syaitan bakal menggoda kita kembali kepada dosa.
Ustaz pada kuliah zohor di ofis saya tadi berpesan, pesan kat anak2 & isteri jaga aurat dan jaga bila bersalam. Jangan bersalam dengan bukan muhrim, sepupu2, ipar-duai. Kalau nak bersalam gak lapik kain. Atau tolak dgn baik dgn berkata saya ada wuduk. Kerana hukumnya bersentuhan walau hujung jari pun kira haram. Yang belum bayar zakat fitrah segeralah membayarnya, jangan ditangguh lagi.
Terasa sunyi dan sayu, bila melihat kawan2 & saudara mara sudah mulai bercuti dan berangkat balik kampung. Nampaknya mati kutu saya tahun ni. Soalan paberet bila jumpa teman2 ialah bila start cuti? atau bila balik kampung? So jawaban saya cuti 2 hari lepas raya & raya sini tahun ni. InsyaAllah balik raya haji nanti.
Pesan saya bagi yg memandu, anggaplah perjalanan balik kampung tu untuk pergi bertemu kekasih. Walaupun lambat dan jauh tapi akhirnya dapat berjumpa kekasih tercinta, alangkah syoknya. Apalah guna pantas dan laju jika mati di tengah jalan atau terdampar di hospital kerana kemalangan dan tidak dapat berjumpa kekasih yg menanti penuh harapan dan kerinduan itu, betul tak? Jangan menyumbang kearah statistik Ops Sikap yg sudah meragut 34 nyawa dan lebih dari 3000 kemalangan itu. Kalau mengantuk, take a break kat masjid tepi2 jalan tu, take a nap, InsyaAllah segar balik. Satu lagi check lah condition kereta tu, biar tip top. Check minyak itam, myk break, air bateri. Tayar botak tu ganti la. Anyway selamat bergumbira di Hari Raya. Maaf zahir & batin semua !!

7 Ramadan
Hari ni sudah 7 Ramadan. Terasa cepat Ramadan berlalu. Apakah masa di akhir zaman ini semakin memendek. Kerana rasanya di zaman kecik-kecik dulu terasa lambat benar hari-hari yang di tempuh, apatah lagi dalam menahan kelaparan berpuasa itu. Atau apakah itu psikologi semata. Atau kini disibukkan dengan banyak benda yg menyibukkan.
Pagi ni selesai berjemaah subuh di surau Al Faizeen, aku menggantikan sdra ku Hj Munir untuk membacakan terjemahan sepotong hadis bersama ulasannya. Ianya berkaitan dengan insan yg membaca Al Quran, elok sangatlah berhemah sebagaimana seorang yg membaca Al Quran. Janganlah bercakap dusta atau berakhlak hina. Jadilah insan kamil yang boleh menjadi teladan insan yang lain. InsyaAllah.
Bertolak dari rumah ke tempat kerja sekitar 6:45 dan clock-in pada 7:54. Ofisku pada Ramadan ini beroperasi dari 8:00pg hingga 5:00ptg. Berbanding hari lain 8:15-5:15. Tiada beza cuma 15 minit anjakan. Tugasku setiap rabu sebagaimana diamanahkan oleh setiausaha surau Pernec ialah membaca tazkirah pagi di PA system syarikat di HR Dept. Pagi ni berbekalkan buku kecil siri Fadhailul Aamal Fadhilat Ramadan karya Maulana Muhammad Zakariya Kandhahlawi terbitan Jahbersa, aku pun memilih sebuah hadis Rasulullah dimana Abu 'Ubaidah r.a. meriwayatkan bahawa "Aku telah mendengar bahawa Rasulullah SAW bersabda: Puasa adalah sebagai perisai, selagi dia tidak memcahkan perisai tersebut."
Perisai pelindung di sini bermaksud sebagaimana seorang itu melindungi dirinya dengan perisai, begitulah juga puasa melindunginya daripada musuhnya yang nyata yakni syaitan. Puasa menyelamatkan kita daripada siksaan Allah dan api neraka jahannam di akhirat.
Suatu ketika seorang telah bertanya Rasulullah SAW: "Apakah yang menyebabkan puasa itu batal (rosak)?" Baginda menjawab: "Bercakap dusta dan mengumpat." Hadis ini kalau diteliti, sebenarnya memberitahu kita supaya menjauhi perbuatan2 yg boleh menyebabkan puasa itu menjadi sia2. Para ulama telah menggariskan 6 perkara supaya kita berhati2 sewaktu berpuasa.
1. Hendaklah mengelak pandangan daripada tempat2 yg dilarang hatta isteri sendiri dgn pandangan bernafsu. Begitulah juga melihat perbuatan2 maksiat. Rasulullah SAW bersabda: "Pandangan adalah seumpama anak panah daripada syaitan. Barangsiapa takut kepada Allah, jauhilah dirinya daripada melihat kepada maksiat. Maka Allah mengurniakan dengan suatu cahaya iman yang kemanisan dan keghairahannya akan terasa di hati."
2. Jagalah lidah dari berdusta, perbualan yg sia2, mengumpat, hujah-menghujah, bersumpah2, berjenaka dsb. Ingatkanlah diri bahawa "Aku sedang berpuasa." Salah seorang sahabat Rasulullah SAW bertanya: "Apakah itu mengumpat?" Rasulullah SAW menjawab: "Menyebut sesuatu mengenai saudaramu di belakangnya yang dia tidak suka." Selanjutnya sahabat itu bertanya: "Dan masihkah dikatakan mengumpat sekiranya yang disebutkan mengenainya itu benar terdapat padanya?" Rasulullah SAW menjawab: "Dalam hal demikian (yakni jika disebutkan itu memang benar) maka sebenarnya itulah mengumpat; jika apa yang disebutkan itu palsu, maka kamu telah memfitnahnya."
3. Hendaklah kita berjaga2 drp mendengar sesuatu yang makruh. Samalah juga haram mendengar kepada sesuatu yang tidak sepatutnya disebutkan. Rasulullah SAW telah bersabda: "Mengenai mengumpat, kedua2 pengumpat dan orang yang mendengar keadaannya adalah sama berkongsi dosa."
4. Lain2 anggota jasad hendaklah dijauhi drp dosa dan perkara2 yg haram. Tangan jangan menyentuhinya dan kaki janganlah berjalan ke arahnya. Mengenai perut, hendaklah berhati2 agar ketika mengambil makanan khasnya semasa berbuka (iftar) tidak adalah yang memasukinya drp sesuatu yg diragukan samada halal atau tidaknya. Seumpama orang yg berpuasa kemudia berbuka, memakan benda yg haram adalah seperti orang yg sakit memakan ubat tetapi mencampurkannya juga dengan sedikit racun yang akan membinasakannya.
5. Tidaklah digalakkan memakan sekenyang2nya semasa iftar walaupun makanan itu halal kerana maksud drp puasa itu tidak akan tercapai. Tujuan puasa itu adalah untuk mengurangi nafsu syahwat kita dan meninggikan keyakinan serta memperkuatkan rohaniyah kita.
6. Selepas menjalani puasa, hendaklah sesuatu berasa bimbang samada puasanya diterima Allah ataupun tidak. Beginilah hendaknya dilakukan kepada semua bentuk ibadah. Seseorang itu mungkin tidak menyedari bahawa bahagian2 yg penting tertinggal. Hendaklah berasa takut2 mungkin amalan2 kita akan ditolak oleh Allah.
Sebagai kesimpulan sebgaiman yg diperintahkan dalam Al-Quran: "Puasa telah diwajibkan ke atasmu." Pentafsir2 berkata bahawa drp ayat ini difahamkan bahawa puasa itu wajib ke atas setiap bhg anggota badan. Maka puasa lidah ialah mengelak drp berkata dusta dsb, puasa telinga bermaksud supaya tidak mendengar kpd perkara maksiat, puasa mata bermaksud tidak melihat kpd apa2 bentuk maksiat dan dosa. Begitulah juga puasa diri bermaksud bebas drp kehendak2 hawa nafsu. Puasa hati bermaksud mengenepikan kecintaan terhadap benda2 duniawi. Puasa fikiran bermaksud mengelakkan berfikir selain drp Allah S.W.T.
Semoga 3 minggu yg tinggal di Ramadan ini, dapat kita manafaatkan sejitu mungkin. Segala kelemahan kita atasi dan kita ganda usahakan tingkatan ibadah kita agar pulangan maksima berjaya kita raih, InsyaAllah. Masih belum terlambat rasanya untuk kita jadikan Ramadan tahun ini sebagai yg terbaik buat kita. Sesungguhnya Ramadan tahun depan belum tentu dapat kita lalui.
Wassalam.
Pagi ni selesai berjemaah subuh di surau Al Faizeen, aku menggantikan sdra ku Hj Munir untuk membacakan terjemahan sepotong hadis bersama ulasannya. Ianya berkaitan dengan insan yg membaca Al Quran, elok sangatlah berhemah sebagaimana seorang yg membaca Al Quran. Janganlah bercakap dusta atau berakhlak hina. Jadilah insan kamil yang boleh menjadi teladan insan yang lain. InsyaAllah.

Kisah Mat Deris
Usia Mat Deris sudah 45 tahun. Punyai rumah besar kereta besar dan kerja berpangkat manager. Isteri dan anak-anak belasan tahun. 20 tahun dulu gaji Mat Deris RM600. Dapat gaji habis gaji, tapi Alhamdulillah setakat makan pakai dan sebijik kereta second-hand masih mampu. Beberapa kali pindah kerja dan gaji pun semakin meningkat. Dulu masa gaji RM600 rasa kalau dapat gaji RM2000 memang rasa lebih dari cukup. Tapi besar periuk besar keraknya. Sekarang walau gaji dah mencapai RM9000 tapi dapat gaji habis gaji jugak. Kereta besar, rumah besar masih hutang bank jugak. Anytime bank boleh ambik balik. Tambah lagi hutang kad kredit, pinjaman peribadi, dan macam2 bil. Terbayang kalaulah gaji RM15000 nantu selesailah kot masalah. Namun bila gaji dah RM25000 sebulan pun, Mat Deris masih terkial-kial dalam himpitan hutang, bebanan kerja, dan masalah peribadi. Bilakah Mat deris akan tenang jiwa dan raga melalui hari2 yang penuh bahagia?

Syaaban datang lagi
Syaaban datang lagi maknanya beberapa ketika lagi Ramadhan bakal muncul pula. Apa kata kita persiap diri kita semantap mungkin untuk bertemu janji dengan Ramadhan tercinta. Kita cuci diri, kita murnikan hati, kita pekena pakaian putih bersih, kita tutur dengan zikir, kita tidur dengan syahadah, kita bangun penuh semangat jihad. Biar resah kalau sehari tak baca Al Quran. Biar gundah kalau menyakit hati orang. Jadikan Syaaban teman seperjuangan yang dapat menegur kesilapan dan kekurangan. Yang dapat membantu dan membimbing. Ya Syaaban datang lagi !! Alhamdulillah.

Lagu Alleycats
Pagi ni kat ofis dok dengar lagu Alleycats in the background from my PC's RealPlayer. Never failed to bring back nostalgia dan kenangan, especially zaman sekolah and university. Masa feeling syok pada seseorang dan zaman cinta cintaan. Zaman sekolah kat SMSKel dulu era 1977-81, memang Alleycats top abis sezaman dengan kumpulan Caferee. Lagu Senandung Semalam memang berhantu setanding lagu Rindu Bayangan, masa saya form 1 iaitu sekitar 1977.
Masa saya hidup 4 tahun setengah kat WMU Kalamazoo era 82-86, lagu Alleycats adalah pengubat rindu pada tanahair tercinta, melayan hati dan perasaan. Susah nak digambarkan kesyahduannya. Favorite saya masa tu ialah lagu Berita Dari Rantau. Antara yang saya ingat senikatanya..
angin pantai dingin mencengkam
ombak laut mengajak pulang
di sini ku rindu
kampung halaman yang lama kutinggalkan
betapa indahnya negeri orang
tak seindah tanah tumpah darahku
wajah sanak saudara yang tercinta
bermain dimataku dikala sepi
sawah ladang dan pohon nyiur
dengarkanlah jeritan hati
kuingin nyatakan
aku sering merindu belaianmu
Alleycats bagi saya adalah sebuah kumpulan penghibur yang hebat dan evergreen kekal sampai kini walaupun dengan kematian salah seorang vokalis asal mereka iaitu Loga baru2 ini. Lagu-lagu famous mereka termasuklah Sekiranya Ku Tahu, Seribu Bintang, Suara Kekasih, Aku Kerinduan, Andai Aku Pergi Dulu, Di Tengah Kota, Hingga Akhir Nanti, Istana Pasir, Jika Kau Bercinta Lagi, Kerana, Kisah Kau Dan Aku, Layang2 Terputus Talinya, Puisi Untuk Sang Puteri, Sampaikan Salam Cintaku. Dan satu lagi my favourite ialah Senyumlah Kuala Lumpur mengimbau zaman cinta monyet saya dan Kehadapan Ibuku perihal calon menantu. Fuhhh memang best !!
We live The Present , plan for The Future and moving forward. But The Past is always at the back of my mind Hingga Akhir Nanti.....
hingga akhir nanti
kau tetap jadi pujaan
walau seribu tahun
walau seribu zaman
kutetap menanti
hingga akhir nanti
kau saja idaman hati
hingga akhir nanti
bulan takkan terang
tanpa seri wajahmu
hati takkan tenang
tanpa kehadiranmu
rindu dalm sepi
rindu dalam mimpi
kutetap menanti
hingga akhir nanti
datanglah kekasih
datangllah padaku
kesetiaan diriku
janganlah kau ragu
betapa kukasih
betapa kurindu
seandai kau tahu
benarnya cintaku
hingga akhir nanti
kau saja idaman hati
segala rasa cinta
segala rasa sayang
hanyalah untukmu
hingga akhir nanti...

Howdy
Hmmm........... I miss a posting for the month of April. Now its May. I never miss to post at least once a month before. That shows how bz I am in April. Or shall I say 'kelam kelibut'. There are 3 significant date in April. Well, for a start my birthday is on the 5th. My Son Amir's birthday on the 18th. And my marriage anniversary is on the 29th. Then come the income-tax submission on the 30th, which I miss again, just like last year. On the 14th, I represent my company for PNB's PingPong Tournament, plus those training sessions.
My son got an offer to further his studies in form 4 at MRSM Kubang Pasu when we least expected. We received the offer letter on his birthday and 5 days later, we pack him in one piece and deliver him via Plus highway 7 hours drive to the RM38m brand new school at Kubang Pasu. Bersyukur pada Allah, atas rezki ini. Wish him to be the best that he can be, to optimize the potential within. To be manusia yang baik !!
Back in office, the pressure on sales preview and review. Company re-organization again. Now I am reporting to the new boss, MSB.
On the 17th & 18th attended the seminar at IKIM 'Success Built To Last: A Muslim Interpretation'. A very interesting event officiated by Tan Sri Dato' Seri Dr Ahmad Sarji. Ten papers were presented and discussed. My picks are 'Guidelines in Managing Effective Muslim Business Organizations' by Hj Nik Mustafa (Deputy Director General, IKIM), 'Sime Darby: Rising to the Ocassion' by Dato' Ahmad Murshid (Group Chief Executive, Sime Darby Bhd), 'Rejuvenating Ailing Industries: MAS Experience' by Tengku Dato' Azmil (CFO, MAS), and 'Bank Rakyat: From Humble Beginnings to Malaysia's Largest Islamic Cooperative Bank' by Dato' Kamaruzzaman Che Mat (MD, BKRMB). Make me feel proud of the effort and achievement behind the scene of those organizations.
The session were divided into four main parts - Foundation For Sustainable Success, Good Corporate Governance: Critical Factors In Managing Business Success, Secrets To An Organization's Success: Lessons From Successful Establishments, and Rejuvenating Ailing Industries. My conclusion is we got to be Ikhlas, Amanah, Usaha & Tawaqal to have Success Built To Last.
The next day on the 19th, I attended CommScope Technology Summit entitled Revolution In The Data Center: Seizing Opportunities From New Chellenges at The Ritz Carlton, KL. Then got to spend a week at Kuantan for MSAM staying at Shahzan Inn. My portion is on showcasing Egenera Blade Server & TrimContext EDRMS. As announced, almost 200k visited MSAM2007.
Have a chance for leg massage from a 63 year old pro for rm10 plus traditional herb medicine for another rm10. Then got fascinated with a 55 yr old '40 yr old looks' dayak street medicine man, and bought another 'traditional' medicine for rm20. Also bought pill buah pria from CCM at MSAM for rm25 (retail price rm39) to reduce my sugar level, that has overshoot recently.
Back from Kuantan, so happened my son Amir on one week holiday break, so we spend 3 days 2 nites at Legend KL on 1-2 May. And we visited KL Book Fair at PWTC, an annual event that we never miss. I bought 'Quran Saintifik' the latest book from Dr Danial Zainal with 20% discount and got another of his book ' Islam The Misunderstood Religion' for free. My wife bought 3 hardcover books from the late Ahmad Semait of PN Singapore including '100 Tokoh Wanita Terpilih' & 'Untaian Kisah Wali Allah', which we met and took a photo at last year's KL Book Fair, before he get killed by traffic accident about 3 months later.
Then I took three days 'bookoff' for my assignment at MSAM plus the weekend. All in all I have been out of office for two weeks. What a nice feeling. So today, is my first day back in office and tons of works waiting, not to mention bills to pay and phone calls chasing for 'hutang' from banks. Anyway for me, stay home close to my wife and kids is conforting. And doing my gardening & berkebun. For the past one month, I have been exploring 2 plots of land near my house and manage to plant about 48 serai, 16 tebu, 3 pandan, 3 lengkuas, 3 pisang, 5 lada, 6 bende, 1 mangga, 1 limau nipis, 1 limau kasturi, 2 limau purut, 2 jambu, 1 nangka, some kacang botol, and 1 limau bali. And already digged about 22 small holes to plant jagung. I also put fence around and built 2 bench. Its a worthwhile effort, a good workout, a little 'sakit urat', with darker skin, yet satisfying.
Moving forward, I like to ponder. I like to think. I wish to be debt free & enjoy life to the fullest.

Welcome Runi !
Misteri kehilangan Zidan tempoh hari, telah aku tutup kes nya sebagai mati dibaham kucing setelah melompat dan jatuh ke lantai. Kekosongan akuarium beberapa hari itu telah manggamit kenangan indah bersama Zidan. Justru penggantinya perlu dicari, kata isteriku. Kunjungan isteri dan Iman ke kedai Seri, telah menemukan mereka dengan bakal pengganti Zidan. Seekor ariwana perak sama saiz dengan Zidan dulu, dengan harga patut. Cadangan pertama oleh isteri dan disusuli pujukan oleh Iman untuk membelinya, berjaya kupatahkan. Namun cobaan kedua mereka, berjaya. Kini akuarium itu telah dipindah ke indoor bersebelahan dengan TV di second living room. Di hiasi dengan lampu dan campuran 'bahan pewarna' menjadikannya sungguh cantek dan majestik. Bila isteri dan anak2 give me the honour untuk menamakannya. Aku tanpa ragu menamakannya RUNI. Yap.... sempena The Wayne of MU that is. Killer instinctnya tak sehebat Zidan, but getting better. On the first day, Runi baham 7 cengkerik segar. Welcome Runi !!

On Your Own
Sometime I feel on my own in this world. Because only I understand me the best. Not even my mother, my wife, kids, cousins, neighbours, officemates, relatives or friends. I feel me, only me and my Creator. Direct and no barrier. So I talk to Him as I wish. My one hour drive alone to the office is the best time for me. Whatever problems or issues in hand, Allah will listen to me day in day out. When I wake up at nite and its so quiet. I know I am alone and Allah with me. No wonder Qiyamullail is the best. If only I can do it more often. The piece of mind. Problems & issues won't go away just like that. But I know Allah is there for me. Since my existance. He mastermind my destiny. I always prefer to keep it inside me whatever issues related to me. As I feel nobody can understand the way I see it. People can interprate anyway they like it. But Allah understand me. And thats why that is the best way for me, to communicate with Him. Having said that, I still believe that whatever knowledge and skills that I have so far, needs to be shared with others. Thats why I have this blog, editor for my Buletin Surau, presenting tazkirah pagi on weekly basis at the office's PA, posting worth-sharing material over various e-mail group, ocassionally contribute comment and tots on various web-forums and papers. I was born alone and will die alone soon. I got to accept life on my own. Whatever good thing that I feel like doing then I shall do it. Then it will be 'Ikhlas' from me. I pray to Allah to forgive my sins. I pray to Allah to put the love in my heart for good deeds and put the block in my heart for all 'maksiat'. Show me the right path. I want Iman. I pray to Allah for 'rezki' so that I can settle all my debt and escape from Riba. I pray for health. I pray that Allah value all my daily activities as 'ibadah'. I want Redha Allah. I want Syurga Firdaus. So help me Allah. I am on my own with my Creator. Allah hu Akbar.

Misteri Kehilangan Zidan
Semalam aku dikejutkan dengan panggilan telefon dari isteriku. Katanya "Pa, Zidan hilang!". Kata-kata yang aku anggap misteri dan pelik. "Hilang?" macamana boleh hilang. "Tak tau la Pa, masa dok siram pokok tadi, tengok-tengok Zidan dah tak ada". Hmm...ada kesan lompatan ke? tanya ku. "Tak ada pulak" jawab isteriku. "Penutupnya ok, tak ada terbukak". Hmmm pelik bin ajaib. Takpa lah nanti aku fikirkan.
Aku pi borak dengan Jamal, support engineer di ofis kami. Aku tanya dia ada tak tengok video rakaman kat e-mail menunjukkan seorang Ustaz (mungkin di Pakistan) yang dok beri ceramah kat masjid, dan dirakamkan. Kelihatan seolah cengkaman tangan di kepalanya, dan jelas nampak dahinya yang tertonjol-tonjol seolah-olah ada tangan yang mencengkam di sebalik dalam kulit dahinya. Sejurus kemudian cengkaman itu semakin nyata, dan Ustaz itu seolah-olah melepaskan mikrofon nya dan rebah ke sisi, menemui ajalnya. Jamal berkata ruh kita memang keluar dari atas kepala. Maka apakah Allah ingin menunjukkan kan kepada kita cengkaman Malikul Maut yang menarik ruh dari jasad?
Orang yang nak mati atau akan menemui ajalnya selalunya menyedari atau diberi tanda-tanda tertentu. Soalannya, apakah haiwan juga di beri petunjuk atau tanda-tanda kematian itu? Mungkin juga. Kerana aku perhatikan Zidan semenjak hari Sabtu lalu gelisah tak menentu. Kadang memecut laju, kadang tebatuk-batuk. Sambil aku dok relax Ahad lalu, aku perhatikan Zidan lepak kat permukaan, just sit there floating doing nothing, hampir 1 minit. Satu aksi yang tak pernah aku lihat sebelum ini. Dan Zidan lakukan aksi itu beberapa kali. Buang tebiat ke apa fikirku. Satu lagi aku perhatikan Zidan tak selera makan. Ku sangkakan Zidan dah tepu dengan hidangan anak-anak ikan yang dah jadi menu utamanya sejak dua menjak ini. Jadi, aku pun pagi tu keluar pi beli cengkerik sebagai menu alternatif. Bila aku suakan seekor untuk dibahamnya, aikk tak di layan. Dia sekadar berkisar menghidu bau, tanpa di ngapnya sampai kesudah. Hingga esoknya aku terpaksa buangkan kerana sudah kembang. Warna kulit Zidan jugak agak pudar, tidak segarang dan sekilau dulu. Mungkin dia sakit.
Bila aku balik dari ofis semalam, aku terus menjalankan siasatan forensik. Aku bertanyakan kronologi kejadian. Anakku Iman berkata, semasa dia balik bersama mamanya dari jogging sekitar pukul 9 pagi, dia perasan Zidan masih ada berligar. Iman sempat bertanya mamanya yang dah masuk ke dalam, dah bagi makan kat Zidan ke belum? Soalan itu didengar oleh Farihin yang masih baring (ponteng sekolah) di bileknya bersebelahan dengan tempat Zidan. Maknanya sekitar 9 pagi itu, Zidan masih ada.
Isteri keluar menyiram pokok bunga di taman sekitar pukul 11 tgh. Apabila menghala pandangan ke tempat Zidan, terperasan Zidan telah tiada. Maka riuh lah keadaan, dengan anak-anakku Iman & Farihin sama-sama mencari Zidan ke hulu dan ke hilir, di dalam longkang hingga ke depan dan di sekitar pergola. Tiada kesan air atau darah di atas lantai 'tiles'. Apakah dia dicuri oleh penceroboh? Ia satu kemungkinan, tapi siapa? Mungkin si Maniam yang hantar gas semalam? Zidan dah besar saiznya, paling kokak pun aku ingat laku RM100 tu. Tapi takkan la si Maniam menceroboh kawasan rumah aku ni, untuk hanya mencuri Zidan, tak berbaloi la berbandingan dengan risiko. Atau anak aku si Amir yang tangkap dan jual, buat beli top-up maxis nya? Isteri menyampuk "tak logik lah". Kehilangan Zidan masih lagi misteri hingga ke hari ini.
Semalam isteriku telah membersihkan tempat Zidan dan memasukkan Yus. Aku tengok Yus pun aktif lain macam, macam lari di kejar hantu. Sekejap terlanggar dinding, sekejap melompat ke atas. Jangan-jangan badi si Zidan dah berjangkit. Anyway masa aku dok kat bilek air, Farihin memanggil "Pa Pa cepat". Terkejut aku di buatnya. Mungkinkah Zidan telah ditemui?
Aku bergegas ke dapur dan keluar melalui pintu dapur. Di situ terdampar Yus di atas penutup plastik termengah-mengah. Rupanya dia telah berjaya melompat keluar melalui salah satu dari lubang angin yang ada setelah berbelas kali mencuba sejak siang tadi. Aku terus menyengetkan penutup itu dan Yus melunjur jatuh ke dalam semula. Lubang angin itu berbentuk bulatan dengan jejari 1".
Badan Yus agak gempal, tapi pelik juga, bagaimana dia berjaya memboloskan dirinya. Ini membawa kepada teori aku seterusnya, walaupun Zidan nampak lebih besar dari Yus tapi badannya lebih slim. So kebetulan semasa kejadian itu, aku telah menambah air. jadi aras permukaannya agak tinggi, mungkin kurang dari 1" dengan lubang itu. Maka mungkin Zidan telah mengacah dan mengagak untuk membolosinya. Mungkin salah satu dari cubaannya telah berjaya membolosi. Dan dia lansung jatuh ke lantai. Nah samada dia terus menarik perhatian kucing hitam Pak Nor (jiran aku yang membela beberapa ekor kucing yang selalu mencerobohi halamanku untuk berak dan berasmara) untuk mengaapnya. Mungkin.
Atau salah satu kemungkinan lagi ialah, Zidan telah meliuk lentukkan badannya sehingga berjaya masuk ke dalam parit di tepi rumahku. Seterusnya bergolek-golek dalam air yang sedikit sampai ke depan melalui parit di bawah pergola seterusnya berjaya melolosi ke longkang besar di depan rumahku yang di situ ada sedikit takungan air. Mungkin dia masih hidup di situ......balik ni I think I will go and take a look !! Silver Ariwana that cost me lately, RM2 per 3 days on food (anak ikan).
Well at least we still have our Yus, the trusted and robust ikan Puyu, to keep us company. Almost 3 years already and it eat cheap stuff only. We name it Yus sempena nama Vacation Ambassador kat Legend Worldwide Holidays yang berjaya memukau kami to take up membership about 3 years ago. Arwah Zidan pula mengambil sempena the famous 'head butted' incident last year.
Aku pi borak dengan Jamal, support engineer di ofis kami. Aku tanya dia ada tak tengok video rakaman kat e-mail menunjukkan seorang Ustaz (mungkin di Pakistan) yang dok beri ceramah kat masjid, dan dirakamkan. Kelihatan seolah cengkaman tangan di kepalanya, dan jelas nampak dahinya yang tertonjol-tonjol seolah-olah ada tangan yang mencengkam di sebalik dalam kulit dahinya. Sejurus kemudian cengkaman itu semakin nyata, dan Ustaz itu seolah-olah melepaskan mikrofon nya dan rebah ke sisi, menemui ajalnya. Jamal berkata ruh kita memang keluar dari atas kepala. Maka apakah Allah ingin menunjukkan kan kepada kita cengkaman Malikul Maut yang menarik ruh dari jasad?
Orang yang nak mati atau akan menemui ajalnya selalunya menyedari atau diberi tanda-tanda tertentu. Soalannya, apakah haiwan juga di beri petunjuk atau tanda-tanda kematian itu? Mungkin juga. Kerana aku perhatikan Zidan semenjak hari Sabtu lalu gelisah tak menentu. Kadang memecut laju, kadang tebatuk-batuk. Sambil aku dok relax Ahad lalu, aku perhatikan Zidan lepak kat permukaan, just sit there floating doing nothing, hampir 1 minit. Satu aksi yang tak pernah aku lihat sebelum ini. Dan Zidan lakukan aksi itu beberapa kali. Buang tebiat ke apa fikirku. Satu lagi aku perhatikan Zidan tak selera makan. Ku sangkakan Zidan dah tepu dengan hidangan anak-anak ikan yang dah jadi menu utamanya sejak dua menjak ini. Jadi, aku pun pagi tu keluar pi beli cengkerik sebagai menu alternatif. Bila aku suakan seekor untuk dibahamnya, aikk tak di layan. Dia sekadar berkisar menghidu bau, tanpa di ngapnya sampai kesudah. Hingga esoknya aku terpaksa buangkan kerana sudah kembang. Warna kulit Zidan jugak agak pudar, tidak segarang dan sekilau dulu. Mungkin dia sakit.
Bila aku balik dari ofis semalam, aku terus menjalankan siasatan forensik. Aku bertanyakan kronologi kejadian. Anakku Iman berkata, semasa dia balik bersama mamanya dari jogging sekitar pukul 9 pagi, dia perasan Zidan masih ada berligar. Iman sempat bertanya mamanya yang dah masuk ke dalam, dah bagi makan kat Zidan ke belum? Soalan itu didengar oleh Farihin yang masih baring (ponteng sekolah) di bileknya bersebelahan dengan tempat Zidan. Maknanya sekitar 9 pagi itu, Zidan masih ada.
Isteri keluar menyiram pokok bunga di taman sekitar pukul 11 tgh. Apabila menghala pandangan ke tempat Zidan, terperasan Zidan telah tiada. Maka riuh lah keadaan, dengan anak-anakku Iman & Farihin sama-sama mencari Zidan ke hulu dan ke hilir, di dalam longkang hingga ke depan dan di sekitar pergola. Tiada kesan air atau darah di atas lantai 'tiles'. Apakah dia dicuri oleh penceroboh? Ia satu kemungkinan, tapi siapa? Mungkin si Maniam yang hantar gas semalam? Zidan dah besar saiznya, paling kokak pun aku ingat laku RM100 tu. Tapi takkan la si Maniam menceroboh kawasan rumah aku ni, untuk hanya mencuri Zidan, tak berbaloi la berbandingan dengan risiko. Atau anak aku si Amir yang tangkap dan jual, buat beli top-up maxis nya? Isteri menyampuk "tak logik lah". Kehilangan Zidan masih lagi misteri hingga ke hari ini.

2007 so far..
Pejam celik pejam celik, hari ni dah 25 hari kita berada di tahun 2007. Hows life so far? Well, banyakkan bersyukur dan jangan mengeluh, thats my 10 cent advice. My company is embarking on 5 years strategic plan (2007-2011) riding on the strength of our human capital asset and 4 new stretegic business thrusts namely;
Old saying, if you fail to plan then you plan to fail. In the spirit we can always apply to our very lives. The term Tahun Baru Azam Baru is there for years. Maal Hijrah on the 21st Jan, mark 1428 years hijrah Rasulullah s.a.w. from Mekah to Madinah for a bigger perspective of struggle in building civilization and spreading the words of Allah for humankind. Lets park it somewhere in our heart and soul the determination of doing good things in life. And left out all those bad things and habits. Be it, to bersegera solat bila masuk waktu, jangan bertangguh pada perkara kebaikan, and banyakkan amalan sunat.
My son Amir got 7A in PMR the other day. Not bad considering he got 7B in trial. So he apply for MRSM, SBP, Sek Teknik, and SMKA. I even consider to take up Hj Husen (our Surau chairperson) offer to send my kids direct for tahfiz & secondary education under Al-Azhar, Mesir (with about RM6000 to start with & about RM600 monthly) but KIV it for now. Amir got only one offer so far from Sek Teknik Slim River. I always pray to Allah, to give the best possible avenue for him to further his study in form 4. I myself getting nervous, and did make a few phone calls to some schools, to some friends, JAIS, Jab Pelajaran Negeri, MARA and all sorts of online enquiries. My wish is for Amir to get what he deserved. He is my eldest. After various consideration and heart-to-heart discussion on all the limited options available, yesterday Amir said, Papa I will not go to Slim River on the 29th Jan for registration and instead I decided to stay with my friends in my current school - SAMTKKB (Sek Men Agama Tinggi Kuala Kubu Bharu).
Maybe my prayer answered. Probably that is the best possible options available for him. Why not, its a good school for selected few. He got 10 academic subjects and 6 muzakirat syllibus under JAIS. He can sit for his SMA this year, SPM next year and probably STAM the following year. That alone will differenciate him with the rest from SBP or SMK alike. He is selected to be in the best class 4.1 and sitting right in the front row. So far he got good remarks from his teachers in Add Math & Tauhid. He told me last nite, of the 3 surah required for hafazan this year for form 4, he needs only to polish on surah Yaasin, as he is well versed on the other two already. Thanks for my quick thinking of sending him to Madrasah Tahfiz nearby our house during last school holiday. He managed to hafal 2 juzuk (out of 30) during that 7 weeks effort. Amir got it in him, a skill to menghafal Al-Quran. I am proud of him. I hope he will be surrounding by a positive thinking supportive friends in the hostel & school. All the best to Nur Farihin as well and my youngest Iman Asilah who will sit for PMR & UPSR respectively. Selamat berjuang anak-anakku !!
For me so far, keep bz with Egenera pricing for BPFK & C4i Project. EDRMS presentation to Suruhanjaya Tenaga & DBKL. Meeting with SSM & NEC. Attending BI presentation, Change Enablement kick-off at KDE and annual dinner at Dewan Felda. Became Pernec's table-tennis 2006 team champion. Attending Industry assessment & future business strategy presentation by JJ. Participate in Change Readiness Assessment Survey and presenting three tazkirah pagi. Atttending two ceramah at Tmn Melewar entitled "Banjir Tsunami Johor" & "Pulau Pilihanraya Kecil Batu Talam" organized by PAS & Keadilan respectively. Penceramah includes high profiles ie. TG Hj Hadi, DSAI, Salahuddin Ayub, Ibrahim Ali, & NGOs representatives. And finally to attend talk by Dr Danial Zainal at UIA on Formula Pembinaan Insan Kelas Pertama this weekend. And to participate in "Building Team Excellence" 3 days program at Nur Lembah Pangsun, Hulu Langat, next weekend.
Aku bermohon pada MU ya Allah - Ampunkan segala dosaku, isteri, anak-anak dan sanak saudaraku. Ampunkan segala dosa ibubapa ku, bahagiakan hidup mereka dunia dan akhirat. Sihatkanlah tubuhbadan ku, tenangkan jiwaku dan lapangkanlah dadaku. Permudahakan segala urusan ku dan jadikanlah segala kegiatanku sebgai ibadah kepada Mu. Selamatkan lah aku di perjalanku di jalanraya. Hidupkan aku dengan iman dan matikan aku dalam iman. Ya Allah Engkau Maha Pemurah, murahkan rezki bagiku rezki yang halal, bebaskan aku dari segala bebanan hutang dan sistem riba. Berikanlah kejayaan kepada anak-anakku dunia dan akhirat. Masukkanlah rasa kecintaan kepadaku untuk melakukan kebajikan dan masukkan rasa kebencian kepadaku untuk melakukan kemaksiatan. Amiin ya Rabbal alamiin.
