1430 Hijrah Salam Maal Hijrah

It was 1 Muharam 1430 yesterday a New Year for Islamic Calendar.

I thank Allah for letting me wake up this morning to see this beautiful World of His, seeing my other half again, able to kiss my two teenage girls this morning both were still sleeping when I left them, high five with my MU fan son as my favourite Chelsea manage to a draw last nite, helped scratch both my Persian and Siamese cats, switch-on the garden fountain for the birds and squirrels to dance and bath, had my Oldtown White Coffee, drove my favourite car and arrived office to the greetings of my staff and colleuges. Life is so beautiful and I am thankful to be alive for another day and may Allah grant me another blissful year.

Alhamdulilah.

It is 25th Dec, time to be merry and tolerant but...

It is Christmas and I wish all my Christian friends Merry X'mas.

Suddenly, I remembered a very good friend of mine Dr Leow Chin Her. During our high school days, the three of us were roomates together with Mohd Nor. I can still remember how Chin Her will play his guitar humming the verses from the bible from his bed. At the same time Mohd Nor a staunt Islamic Student Leader was busy calling for prayer (Azan).

I was the headboy and both were my deputies. The three of us live harmoniously in that 12X8 ft.sq room together and it never cross our mind on our different color and different religion. How tolerant we are!

But today, we see those bloody politicians manipulating religion and race sensitivities, to the extend of jeorpadizing the society, and it really made me want to spit on their face or throw my shoes (just like what Bush had) if I meet them.

Compare to yesteryear, our children today don't know what tolerant is. This is all because of these stupid, selfish, half cook and cow brain politicians that we had, who keep arguing on having separate schools and separate medium for the school children. They are so racist that they want schools only for their own color and speak their own mother tongue. Surprisingly, they never dare to demand these if they were in US, Europe or even in Singapore!

Again, if we were to look back at these half cook politician background none of them were actually intelligent students when they were young. They were either problem child or bottom of their class and lack of both IQ and EQ.

That's why they become half cook politicians! In Malaysia, these group are good for nothing and they won't last long as everyone already know their true color!

My prayer for new year, may we get rid all these chauvinistic, racist and dumb head politicians.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year.

It's the Sultan's Birthday and no Datuk for politician...

Today is the Sultan's Birthday and it is a public holiday.

Unlike others, I am not surprise, His Royal Highness decided that there should not be any state award to the politician this year. I couldn't agree more. If you are here in Malaysia you should see how this low EQ and IQ politician behaved themselves in this past one year after the election either in parliment or in public. I am ashamed with this first timer politician aka moron, who really think that they won the last election because the rakyat love them! They can't even speak proper Bahasa Malaysia, or able to finish a sentence correctly and yet they have the cheek to call themselves Bangsa Malaysia and Yang Berhormat (go fly kite! phew..) They are just what in Malay proverbs said "Seperti kaduk naik junjung", or "Seperti kera mendapat bunga" and many more.

It reminded me during my high school days, there was this big bully who was not only dumb but extremely naughty. The discipline teacher was so fed-up he decided to appoint this notorious bully as a prefect. Surprised with the appointment, the dumb-head bully thought all the teachers in school love him. He pretended to be a role model for a while but less than a month everyone can see his true color supplying cigarettes to his gang in school and other evil deeds. There is a popular saying "Mulut berkokok tapi buntut penuh tahi"! They seemed to be championing everything but they themselves are part of the problems. They are the real racist, sadist, facist whatever extremism represent. They are the one.

This is exactly what these half cooked politicians are to me. Hopefully someone is kind enough to tell them the truth just like the dumb-head bully!

Landslide In Bukit Antarabangsa - They just never learnt!

It was a very sad day for people living in Bukit Antarabangsa, Ampang and its surrounding. A big landslide has damaged 14 bungalows and killed 4 people. Many lost their homes and belongings. The hardship caused not only to the families but also to people living around the Bukit Antarabangsa as their houses and apartments were cut off from the basic amenities i.e electricities and water. They were also literally cut off from the outside world as the only road leading to the housing area was damaged badly. The army are working nite and days to help restore the electricity and water and also build a temporary road.

My uncle Pak Cik Darif and his family was one of the many people who were trapped at their house in Bkt Antarabangsa. We did not know they were affected until we received his sms informing us, his family were safe and fine. But they could not get out of their place and were relying on ration delivered by the army. We pray that all the people and family affected will be strong and able to go thru this trying moment patiently. My deepest condolence to the families who have lost their love one in this tragedy.

I hurts me to see in the newspaper report today, the authority only words is "we will stop all development of the hillslope"... as I has heard it before during the Highland Tower tragedy. Immediately, the next day we saw reports that the GREEDY developers cried fault and unfairness. This are the same group of people who makes "Millions Of Ringgit" at the cost of people life and yet they demand fairness.

Where are the NGOs who talked about protecting the environment and the politician who potrayed themselves championing the cause of the people! I did not hear a single word from all these environmental champions and politician fighting back with the developer! You know why? Because these new politicians are just the same like the GREEDY developer! We can already see their true color protecting their own kind! The rakyat were tricked during the last election of the empty promises of protecting the environment!

Can't wait to hear these landslide matters being debated in the parliment!

Eid Adha Mubarak

Selamat Menyambut Hari Raya Aidil Adha. This year just like previous years, the Hamdan's family sacrificed 1 ekor lembu. But this year unlike previous years, only the children, my mom and their cousins witnessed the "korban" in Merlimau. Me and my other half decides to stay home quitely with our ketupat and rendang itik.

The children insisted of watching the "korban" as they wanted to see their "tunggangan" during hari kebangkitan. They were thrilled on the idea that this "beautiful and strong cow" will carry them on the Judgement Day.

The celebration reminded me of the sacrifices both my wife and me went thru during our hajj 7 years ago. It was the most enriching experience and something that touch our heart for the rest of our lives.

Eid Adha is all about sacrifices. Many who went to Mecca might not get the whole concept of hajj. Instead of pursuing for "Keredaan Allah" they fight to "finishing the ritual at all cost". Thus you can see how greed, selfishness and arrogance were demonstrated instead of humbleness, sharing and sacrifices.

The ambience of Arafah somehow gave us a peek of what Padang Mashar will look like. It really moved me and my other half. From that day onwards we see life differently with a lot of "counting our blessing". Those who gives - receives!

Price of oil dropped to USD43

The price of oil has dropped to USD 43 per barrel today. It was USD120 less than 3 months ago and I remembered a friend was joking, he will cut his finger if the price of oil dropped to below USD 80.

Personally, I am of the opinion that the price should stabilize at USD 68 to reflect its true value.

All they need is for OPEC to reduce production and another bad weather in the states.
