Braving the global storm...!!

We have seen a lot happening in this country in these few days. Pak Lah has switch ministry with Najib with him replacing the Defence Minister while Najib took over Finance Minister. Hhhhmmm... So fishy...!!!

World economy especially US, is looking very bad now especially after big corporations including Lehman Brothers and 12 banks collapsed and the latest were Merrill Lynch which was then sold to BAC and AIG which the Federal Government has agreed to bail it out for USD85 billion. Economists believe that this is similar to 97-98 crisis which saw the global downturn which was blame mainly on the currency speculation activities. Different from this one which they mainly blame the short-selling as the biggest crook.

Despite the dipping in USD which the RM should gain heftily, RM is actually weakening compared to already weaken USD. What does it means? Our economy is also taking a slump. The high oil price resulted a hike in inflation rate to the highest in how many light years to more than 8%. But, the crude oil price has gone down further to on USD102.73 per barrel. Why the government has not yet review the fuel price since they’ve already knew that this is the main cause of increasing inflation rate?

US John McCain said that the Federal Govt should get back to "its core business of responsibly managing our money supply and inflation".... Wow.. Believe me... This was said by an American leader. I believe, if we’re looking into globalisation and developed country, our leaders should be talking and thinking like that since hhhhmmmmm... yesterday??!!

Instead, what is happening in Malaysia is that the leaders are busy getting their tank fueled up first and believe me they have a very big tank, even bigger than a 20k litre oil tank truck... Much much bigger than that..

McCain further said that leaders should put aside partisan differences and "any action should be designed to keep people in their homes and safeguard the life savings of all Americans." OMG...!!!! Gosh... A direct hit to the head for our national leaders, be it the government and the oppositions (but I blame the government more lah... Hahhahaha!!!)

I wonder if there is any of the UMNO leaders that can come out with this kind of statement? Zaid Ibrahim took a very dignified step by resigning from his post due to indifference with Pak Lah. My opinion is that he joined the cabinet as a very wealthy man and therefore he was spared the greedy attitude of other UMNO leaders obviously in the likes of Khairy Jamaluddin (although himself is not in cabinet... Wonder what will happen if he is...???!!)

The Malays always say, “Nawaitu kene betul”... in this context, I really feel that Zaid Ibrahim accepted the cabinet post with the right attitude and “nawaitu”...

Special Taskforce to Facilitate Business (Pemudah) board member Tan Sri G. Gnanalingam quoted as saying "One of the areas the private sector must help overcome is corruption, especially in matters that deals with government machinery. The private sector will have to go directly to some of the services as opposed to going to agents and consultants who are by and large the conduits of corruption," he said in an interview recently with Business Times.

Why you’re shouting for the private sector only to fight corruption?? It is also stated there especially that deals with government machineries. Why not prevent these ill-mannered business dealings by going against all these government servants? From my experience, when you deal with govt, some daring officers will directly ask for their “commission” should they approve any deal. Being a commoner or a businessman, what will you do if you’re facing this kind of situation??

I have the privilege to know one very ethical businessman when I was A/V last time. He told me that once he won an open tender from UPM and the officer in charge daringly ask his “part” from him. What this honest man did was he withdrew his application and willingly black-listed his company for not performing. Such a great man and such a pity that our so called intellectuals are also drowned in this shit tank.

I bet, in this world, there’s only a very few people would do this. So, my point is, you can ask the private sector to fight corruption but then again it’s the requestor is the one who we should be concentrating on. If there’s no demand, then there will be no supply. Am I right?

Another question would be who are these agents and consultants dubbed the main conduits of corruptions?? Of what race is most of them comprises from? Simple and direct question with only one answer.... UMNO MALAYS...

Anwar has also announced in his press conference that he has met several fund managers for this region with more than USD1 trillion and claim that they are willing to invest in Malaysia should he becomes the PM. Truthfully, I hope he speaks the truth and only the truth as I am very sick and tired with the current UMNO government. Theoretically, he is a very famous and friendly man and has networking all over the world especially he has won the hearts of many Pak Arabs. Practically, I see him as a man that won’t say anything if he is actually empty. So I guess what he claimed is high possibly true. Logically, I DON’T KNOW.. Period...

The current government has been yelling since the stone age that they have millions and millions and trillions and quadrillions of investments to come in via so many mega projects especially the so many corridors (maybe since his residence doesn’t have any corridor???!!). It has been more than 4 years now since the first corridor announced but still I cannot see the relevance of it to the people. In fact, the only thing affecting the local people is the increasing cost of living due to the special “corridor name” given to their area.

I came across this comment in Che Det blog;

By mukti on September 19, 2008 12:15 AM

Dear Tun,

I just read from Malaysia Today Anwar Ibrahim Press Conference on 18 Sept 2008. He quoted that he had meet with "Pengurus Dana Rantau Ini" with the fund more than 1 trillion USD to give support to the change of Malaysian Politic. I would like to ask question on that matter.

1. Do he will using that fund for him to be PM
2. What will happen to PETRONAS, PROTON MISC And also KHAZANAH.
3. Can we keep giving Malaysian Citizen with subsidies fuel.
4. And last do all Malaysian will get free education and medical.

So I am so worried what will be happend. May GOD save our country.


muktiahmad

Let me try to answer it.

1. He announced that the fund will be invested when he becomes the PM and not before that. If he has this fund to become the PM, then, he will not have to ask people to distribute donation boxes in all of his ceramahs. If the commentor meant that he will use the fund as “gula-gula” to the defectors, I think he has clearly said that those defectors are not offered any position or money for them to crossover. They are just offered their own conscience.

2. I believe that PETRONAS, PROTON, KHAZANAH and other government agencies are a very good platform in building the nation and also corporation that can compete in global stage. Therefore, I believe that when PR is in power, they will still maintain all these corporations and in fact will enhance its capabilities by eliminating all unproductive measures and corruptions in these organisations which will immediately increase their competitive level.

3. According to the recent crude oil price of USD102.73 per barrel, our petrol price should be selling at RM2.00 per litre without any subsidy given. That is already 21% lower than the current price. BTW, Anwar has repeatedly claimed that he can bring the petrol price lower by RM0.70 the next day he is in power. Logically, of course he can. If the market price should be at RM2.00 without subsidy, he only need to subsidise another RM0.15 which half of what the current government claim they are subsidising. The reduction of RM0.70 is already more than 27% than the current price which at least will help to reduce current people’s burden.

4. If the country’s resources are being managed well, it is beyond any reasonable doubts that all these cannot be provided. But due to the “ketirisan dan kebocoran” in this management, we are the one left to bear the sufferings. The monkeys up there didn’t even scratch of itchiness.

It is really up to us now whether we want to stick to this sinking ship or to move on to the more prospectable captain in leading us through braving the vicious storm ahead.

I Still Believe.....!!!

Finally, the most anticipated day of all time has passed without anything very significant happened. I can accept Anwar's explanation that this is due to their desire to have the power transition in a peaceful manner. But I do believe that not many of us can accept that reason as they are not concerned with peaceful power transition as they can't contain themselves with the current government anymore.

Another development is that this gives a longer window for the current government to act against Anwar. During the limited period after Anwar announced the dateline for the power coup, they had done many terrible, questionable and unanswerable things and taken so many foolish and plain stupid actions.

Another issue would be the deterioration of people's support towards Anwar as the government propagade further regarding Anwar's failure to topple them on time. Fence sitters, who don't really think much about the relevance of peaceful power transition will definitely eat all they can from BN words. They are most probably truly think that Anwar doesn't have the names and the numbers as yet or else he would have announced it already.

For those who favour Anwar more (say around 70% to Anwar's side) will become 50-50 as their belief has also deteriorate.

As for me, my confidence level may have been down a little bit but my hope is still very much the same. Reading the news makes me hate the government more. I really hope that Anwar's plan is really because he's concern about national security and not just any political gimmick. I do still believe in him.

Are we so stupid...???? HHHmmmm...!!

Today's The Star article about Zaid Ibrahim's resignation, I republish here;

PM rejects Zaid Ibrahim's resignation letter
KUALA LUMPUR: De facto Law Minister Senator Datuk Zaid Ibrahim submitted his resignation letter to the Prime Minister on Monday but it was rejected.
In his letter, Zaid enumerated his frustrations in achieving the reforms he had been tasked with doing; the straw that broke the his back was the arrest of three civilians under the Internal Security Act on Friday.
It's goodbye, at least for two weeks: Zaid waving after a briefing session with the media at his office. He has been told by Abdullah to go on leave. — Bernama
Zaid — who was unsuccessful in meeting Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi earlier — tendered his letter of resignation as minister to the Prime Minister’s office before 2pm yesterday.
However, he was later called to a meeting at Seri Perdana with Abdullah from 3pm to 5pm.
At the meeting, the Prime Minister rejected his letter and told him to take two weeks’ leave instead.
In Kuala Terengganu, Abdullah confirmed receiving Zaid’s letter but declined to give further details as he had yet to see the letter.
It is not known whether Zaid has changed his mind but he has called for a press conference today.


Can anybody see anything weird reading this article? Can anybody see how stupid is the no 1? Or since it is so obvious maybe it was spinned by the media? Let me tell you....;

Can you see any conflicting matter stated in yellow paragraph and red paragraph?

Yes...!! The premier told reporter in Terengganu that he has yet to see the letter but he already rejected the letter during the meeting at Seri Perdana.. Hhhmmm...

Have you ever took any action just based on reports to you that somebody sent you a letter accusing you of thievery or you will have a look at the letter first then only you meet that bugger and talk to him??? I dunno know but my conscience told me that if I were in his position, I'll definitely read the letter first so that I know the reason of him resigning so maybe I have the chance to change his mind based on what he wrote in the letter...

Are we so stupid or Pak Lah is such a liar???

D-Day...

Today is the day... Anwar announced last night that today he will reveal all 30 crossovers. But before that he'll meet Pak Lah 1st for smooth transition.

We'll see... I'm waiting eagerly for any announcement.. Unfortunate that at this very day I've to be in Kuching not in KL.. If not I'll rally along with them for the sake of Malays and Malaysia. UMNO is no longer relevant. You're better off dead rather than living sucking peoples' blood like vampire and pathetically using Malay Supremacy agenda to hide your sick activities...

UMNO can get lost...!!

PASUMNO....????!!!!

Masya-Allah....!!!

Aku memang tak percaya bila baca blog Husam Musa tadi. I just couldn't get my mind to accept it. If Papa still alive, I'm very sure that he will be very upset knowing that 2 of his best friends, Mustafa Ali and W Mutalib Embong, involve in the talk between PAS and Pak Lah in establishing PASUMNO alliance...


I somehow can sense something fishy when before the March GE, Mustafa's elder brother, Zakaria, who were bedded next to Papa during one of his hospitalised encounter, joined UMNO and big advert boards in KT displayed this all over town. I couldn't help myself but thinking why in the name of the religion these people have the desire to be together with the corrupted UMNO? Is it because of $$$$$$ and power??? Seems definite, isn't it?

Please Tuan Guru Nik Aziz...!!! You're the only one that can save this from happenning. Dato' Husam and Dato' KJ, please with all your might, rally behind TGNA for this. Wallahu A'lam...

Desperados....!!!

The nation is in distress and I believe this is the right way to demonstrate that we're in grave danger:-



The UMNO leaders are now desperate in protecting themselves at the helm. O God the Almighty.. What's going to happen to this beloved land? Why are the leaders so corrupted and will do everything just to maintain their corrupted income.

They've started with lying to the whole national about a lot of hanky-pankys going around the government especially in business dealings. They have to continue lying or else their arse will be sodomised.

The detention of RPK, Teresa and the chinese reporter really indicates that they are very desperate and bluntly stupid or maybe they thought they are clever and the people are stupid. Yes, they are right but not on the sane lot of people. It only applies to the UMNO people. They are stupid and since they are living in denials, they will definitely endorse this action taken by their sleepyhead and murderer leader.

My prayers are with all of you, the ISA detainees...!!

TOLOL!!!!

Hari ini sudah 9 hari masyarakat Islam di Malaysia dan kebanyakkan negara di dunia menunaikan ibadah puasa. Dalam 9 hari ini, kebanyakkan daripada kita sudah serasi dengan keadaan berpuasa. Tiada lagi sungutan terpaksa bangun sahur, sungutan lapar dan dahaga atau nak hisap rokok, merungut untuk bersembahyang terawikh kerana terlalu panjang dan sebagainya lagi. Mungkin bagi beberapa golongan, keadaan ini menjadi semakin menyenangkan, mengasyikkan dan mereka merasa semakin suka untuk berada di dalam keadaan berpuasa ini. Mungkin kerana dengan berpuasa ini boleh menjimatkan perbelanjaan, menambah pendapatan, meningkatkan amal ibadah dan sebagainya.

Bayangkan, baru 9 hari berpuasa kita sudah boleh merasa serasi dan senang dengan keadaan ini. Cuba kita fikir dan amati keadaan dan kedudukan UMNO dalam sejarah negara ini. 51 tahun!!! bukan 1 tahun, bukan 5 tahun dan bukan 20 tahun.. 51 tahun.. Satu jangkamasa yang lama. Cukup lama.

Apakah maknanya? 51 tahun di tampuk PEMERINTAHAN (bukan kepimpinan) membuatkan UMNO menjadi terlalu bongkak dan sombong ataupun 'complacent'. Mereka sudah menjadi tamak untuk merebut harta yang senang diperolehi dengan hanya memegang jawatan dalam UMNO apatahlagi menjadi YB untuk UMNO. Kenapa hanya UMNO yang dipersoalkan sedangkan yang memerintah ialah BN? 'Bulls**t' kalau ada sesiapa yang menyatakan BN yang memerintah. Mereka yang berpendapat demikian hanyalah seperti katak di bawah tempurung.

Ada juga cerdik pandai yang sekolah tinggi-tinggi (tak kira la sekolah sekular ataupun sekolah agama) yang bermati-matian menyokong dan mempertahankan UMNO ni. Mereka semua adalah tergolong dalam golongan manusia yang hidup dalam penipuan ataupun kepura-puraan atau lebih tepat lagi 'living in denial'. Kalau kita selidik orang-orang ni, kita akan dapati mereka ini adalah terdiri daripada golongan yang berkepentingan dalam UMNO ataupun kerajaan samada secara langsung mahupun tidak langsung.

Aku baca blog milik salah seorang anak bekas pemimpin UMNO yang terang-terangan menghentam Pak Lah namun masih setia untuk berada dalam UMNO kerana kononnya UMNO sajalah wadah perjuangan melayu. BODOH!! Cerdik pandai tapi pendek akal dan nafsu lebih. Memanglah mereka akan mempertahankan ketololan UMNO sebab mereka dan keluarga mereka telah lama menyebat dan menuai hasil daripada ketuanan UMNO di negara ini. Dah lama makan duit UMNO sehinggakan darah daging dah ada cop UMNO. Hanya orang-orang UMNO yang tak korup sahaja yang akan meninggalkan UMNO dan menyokong parti lain kerana tidak bersetuju dengan kebiadaban, kerakusan dan kejalangan ahli-ahli UMNO sekarang.

Aku kenal seorang pemimpin muda UMNO yang baru nak berbunga. Keluarganya semua dalam UMNO dan telah lama meraih keuntungan besar hasil kontrak-kontrak yang diperolehi dengan cara rundingan terus (undertable). Percakapan kawan aku ni tak ubah seperti pembaca berita yang diberikan skrip. Jangan lari daripada skrip ini. Kalau dalam skrip tu kata ada harimau di depan namun yang sebenarnya ada gajah, masih dia akan cakap harimau di depan. TOLOL!!

Ada sesetengah orang berpendapat, ramai melayu yang marah-marah dengan UMNO ni sebab mereka tidak berkepentingan dan tidak beroleh apa-apa dengan ketuanan UMNO di Malaysia. Kalau mereka dapat takde la bising-bising. Ini pun salah satu tanda pemikiran terjajah oleh ketuanan UMNO. Ketololan dan kebodohan peringkat dewa.

Bukan masalah dapat projek atau tidak. Kemarahan kepada UMNO ni adalah kerana mereka telah menyebabkan melayu semakin mundur dan jauh ketinggalan. Contohnya; sebuah projek yang dibida oleh 2 syarikat melayu. Syarikat A kepunyaan ahli UMNO yang pasti akan meng'ALIBABA'kan projek itu dan syarikat B merupakan sebuah syarikat kepunyaan melayu serta berkebolehan dan mampu menjalankan projek itu dengan titik peluh usaha sendiri. Namun disebabkan kerakusan ahli UMNO yang tolol tu, projek tu dapat la kat dia dan seperti biasa akan di'ALIBABA'kan kepada sebuah syarikat lain milik bangsa bukan Melayu. Hasilnya, syarikat B tersebut hilang keupayaan untuk bersaing dan mengakibatkan kemungkinan gulung tikar.

Itu adalah salah satu contoh kenapa perlu kita orang melayu sendiri menolak dan menjahanamkan parti UMNO ini. Memang betul parti tu tidak salah tetapi pemimpin dan ahlinya yang salah. Tapi kalau dah 99% ahlinya tolol dan hidup dalam kepura-puraan, apa perlu lagi parti yang bernama UMNO ini. Biarlah seribu kali pun kita tukar pemimpinnya, situasi masih sama kerana 'culture' UMNO tidak akan dapat berubah dan diubah sehingga bila-bila selagi suku-sakat ahli-ahli tolo masih di dalam.

Kita ambil contoh salah satu ketololan pimpinan UMNO dalam kes Ahmad Ismail, ketua bahagian UMNO Bukit Bendera. Selepas isu ini mula-mula timbul, Pak Lah dan Najib iye-iye mintak maaf dalam tv namun si mangkuk hayun Ahmad ni masih senyap. Kemudian keluar pula kenyataan daripada Ahmad tolol ni yang dia tak akan minta maaf sebab kenyataannya disalah laporkan oleh wartawan Sin Chew tersebut dan Pak Lah terus tukar kenyataan yang menyokong pendirian Ahmad iaitu tak oerlu minta maaf. Maka mengamuklah pemimpin-pemimpin cina bukan setakat pembangkang malah Gerakan dan MCA. Si tua tolol tu terus menggelabah dan semalam terus tukar balik kenyataan yang dia akan minta si Ahmad ni beri kenyataan dan akan dikenakan tindakan.

Kenapa boleh jadi macam ni? Inikah pemimpin UMNO. TOLOL?!! Si tua Pak Lah ni tersepit di antara menjaga keamanan dalam BN ataupun mendapat sokongan Ahmad dan konco-konconya daripada Penang dalam pemilihan UMNO hujung tahun ini. Bayangkan 13 bahagian UMNO Penang yang akan kekal mencalonkan dia sebagai presiden ataupun 13 bahagian ini mencalonkan orang lain sebagai presiden. Lihatlah betapa rakusnya si tua ini berusaha untuk mengekalkan jawatannya sehingga sanggup mengenepikan perpaduan kaum dalam negara ini. Kenapa? Adakah kerana hendak menabur lebuh banyak jasa kepada negara? Bulls**t...!!! Mestilah kerana belum puas melampiaskan nafsu serakah merembat harta-harta. Inilah realitinya.

Si tua kutuk sorang lagi, TDrM, dah pun setuju untuk masuk semula UMNO untuk menyelamatkan parti daripada rebah tersungkur jatuh dalam lubang tahi. Yang ni pun sama. Terpaksalah jilat ludah sendiri semata-mata untuk menyelamatkan diri daripada terbongkar segala skandal semasa menjadi diktator selama 22 tahun dulu. Kalau PR mengambilalih kerajaan sudah tentu semuanya akan terbongkar dan dia pula yang akan merengkok dalam penjara seperti yang dia buat kepada Pak Sheikh dulu.

Lihatlah....!! Semuanya berselindung di sebalik alasan-alasan palsu semata-mata untuk menyelamatkan tembolok masing-masing. TOLOL!!!!

Di manakah letaknya kita sebagai rakyat marhein??

Ketuanan Melayu

Apa itu Ketuanan Melayu?

Menurut Kamus DBP 'ketuanan' bermaksud - hak menguasai dan memerintah sebuah (negeri, daerah, dll), kedaulatan; contoh: utk menjamin ketuanan politik Melayu, maka dunia politik Melayu harus dirombak;

Soalannya: Apakah kedudukan atau status bangsa melayu sekarang berhak untuk dipanggil tuan oleh bangsa-bangsa lain?

Aku bagi contoh... Seorang makcik melayu yang dah agak berumur bekerja sebagai tukang sapu di sebuah pusat komesial. Lalu seorang tauke cina membawa minuman di tangan dan nak jadi cerita minuman tu tumpah depan makcik tu. Si tauke ini memandang ke arah makcik tadi dengan ada sikit rasa bersalah cakap kat makcik tu, "Sorry ya makcik!" dan kemudian terus berlalu. Makcik ni pun dengan terpaksa sebab dah memang kerja dia terus ambik mop dan bersihkan sisa tumpahan tadi. Di manakah situasi KETUANAN MELAYU yang ingin dipertahankan oleh UMNO?

Adakah ketuanan tu dapat dirasai bila si tauke cina tu mintak maaf sebab tumpahkan minuman tu? Macam tu ke perasaan ketuanan melayu yang perlu dipertahankan?

My point is, the only Malay Supremacy that the UMNOs are shouting of protecting is actually their own interest. They are so greedy that they can't get enough of getting commissions from approving and brokeering projects. They already have millions but they want billions. Why? Because the millions only went to certain people hence they need billions to feed their hundreds of 'balaci'.

If we're talking about Malay Supremacy, please list down how many 100% malay company that can managed to undertake a project or won a big tender and deliver it on their own without having to sort to other races for assistance? NONE... In fact, a lot of UMNOputras that managed to wrestle projects then 'Ali Baba' it to any other companies mostly chinese. Is this the Malay Supremacy thay are talking about? Bullshit...

Datuk Ahmad from UMNO said that the chinese are immigrants and don't deserve any privilege in this country. So stupid ka this fella? Don't tell me that he don't have any chinese friends? If he does, tell him to ask his chinese friends to go back to China. I bet his chinese friends will tell him to f**k off as they were born here in Malaysia and even their fathers were born here in Malaysia. They have never known any other home except Malaysia. They cheer for Malaysian badminton team even when it is against China. We are even proud when LCW managed to get into the final.

Worse is, PM and DPM can only apologies to the people saying that it was not his intention. Lagi bodoh wal bahlul ini 2 orang so called Malaysian leader. Mamat yang cakap tu pun tak mintak maaf lagi tiba2 2 orang mangkuk ni menggelabah mintak maaf on behalf. Bole ke camtu? Macam ni ke tahap pemikiran pemimpin negara?

Wake up people. We are no more in stoneage. We are living in a modern world where racism has no bloody right in the community anymore. We're moving towards peace and survival against globalisation.

My very own opinion is that, there's nothing wrong to protect certain Malay privileges. But the implementation must be right. Corruption must be avoided and fought with full strength and croniysm / nepotism must not be allowed in any government process. Good governance is what we're looking for.

I am a malay myself but I work hard to earn my living. I've never took any shortcuts in order to be wealthy (which I'm still not) and I am very much against corruptions as it actually make my race becoming weaker. Malays don't have the survival instinct anymore or maybe they never have. I'm talking about Malays in Malaysia, who were born here, studied here and working here. If we compare with those who are abroad, they have a different set of thinking which made them tougher to compete face to face.

What's the difference? They are still Malay. Why they think differently? Easy... They don't have any 'Ketuanan Melayu' to depend on, they don't have any subsidies to rely on, they have to fight to survive, they live and work on their on capabilities and be rewarded on merits. That's why.

Can we create that kind of environment in this beloved land? Any takers? I'm in....

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..
