Ramadhan Al-Mubarak

Alhamdulillah... We have been privileged to be in the fasting month again. As a muslim, the arrival of Ramadhan is supposed to be very beneficial as we can improve our religious activities as there are a lot of 'amalan sunat' that can be performed during this holy month. The fasting itself is compulsory and is one of 'Rukun Islam'.

In Islam, especially in Ramadhan, we are required to fast not only from food but also from doing other bad things such as going to entertainment places, watching indecent acts, doing offesive activities, etc.

For me, this Ramadhan brings few meanings that I wanna share. One is that this is the first Ramadhan without Papa. Although in previous years, especially once i started working in KL, I have spent very few 'puasa' with Papa, but the feeling is totally different comparing now that he's gone. Normally, the start of Ramadhan, he and Mama will come to KL and start shopping for clothes especially for 'baju melayu' which Papa and Mama will sew themselves for their children.

Yup, Papa knew how to 'jahit baju' either 'baju melayu' or even 'baju kurung'. He started that when he retired from Pos Malaysia in Kuantan and started to attend sewing classes held in Tadika Kemas right opposite our house. I still remember the first 'baju melayu' that he made for us. The pockets were not leveled and the 'baju' itself was quite short. Nevertheless, we proudly wore that and whenever people ask, we proudly told them that it was made by our very own Papa. Later years, he already mastered the art and managed to made very good 'baju melayu' which we're still wearing until now.

This morning after 'sahur' and after Subuh prayer, I took the Quran and read it as I can't help myself imitating what he would always do during Ramadhan. He always told me to recite the Quran as much as I could as it will help us during the judgement days. It will help to make our grave to be bright and this morning I can't help but praying to Allah to make his grave to be as bright as possible as he always recited the Quran.

His favourite dish for 'buka puasa' would be 'buah kurma' and he only took a few other food before straight away went to the mosque for Maghrib prayers and then only came back again for a heavier round. In short, he is definitely missed by all of us.. Al-Fatihah..

Another significant event during this Ramadhan would be on 16 Sept. I think most of us know what it's all about. Yup... The crossing over and the establishment of a new Pakatan Rakyat government. Today is already the 2nd and exactly 2 weeks from today that Pak Sheikh claim to take over the government. How...?? Any indications that it's still on...? Any indications it's still right on track...?? I hope and I really pray that it'll happen as claimed by Pak Sheikh. I hope and pray that the new Malaysia will materialise on 16 Sept which is during the holy month of Ramadhan. I hope and pray that Allah bless Pak Sheikh and install him as the new PM of Malaysia.

I read the statement by Ezam claiming that Pak Sheikh is only dreaming or fantasizing about forming a new government by 16 Sept. I also read the article written in so many pro-govt blog claiming that they are not afraid and very much denying any crossovers will happen. I got really sick....!!!!

Please.... We need a new blood for this country. We definitely need new breed of leaders. The current one are all out dated!!! EXPIRED!!! IRRELEVANT!!! They are all blood suckers. They became very complacent and they ignore us the people of Malaysia. We are suffering.

Recently there's another stupid goon in UMNO creating havoc especially among the BN component parties by saying something racist. I've known that UMNO is a very racist party since very long time ago. They kept on stating the need to guard the Malay supremacy and such. Stupid idiots. What supremacy?? Having to work our arse out day and night just to secure having enough meal for the family?

They showed some concern when TV3 started airing Bersamamu featuring poor families that needed help from the people. But have they watched the documentary in detail as of what race is mostly featured in it? Most of them are Malays and this is what they shouted about...??? Malay Supremacy..????!!!

Definitely, they're just talking craps. They're just shouting about protecting Their Own Stomach Supremacy!!! Please Pak Sheikh...!! Get rid all of them.

Recent development in political situation drew a lot of respond from the public pleading the HRH Agong to intervene and stop all these nonsence. But it seems like HRH couldn't care less or maybe HRH is saving the best for last?? Happens to be that the current HRH is the Sultan of Terengganu and as I'm from Terengganu, can consider HRH is my Sultan. So as the people of Terengganu, I plead you oh HRH Agong, to please show some concern towards all of us the people of Malaysia!!! We are suffering lot now...

To all muslims out there.... Selamat Menyambut Ramadhan Al-Mubaraq... Semoga bertambah amal ibadat..
