ALLAH KATOLIK.... APA NAK JADI !

Tirai 2009 ditutup dengan Mahkamah membenarkan majallah katolik menggunakan Allah sebagai nama tuhan mereka. Apa hendak jadi kepada penghakiman Negara ini apabila isu seperti ini diadili oleh hakim bukan Islam yang memang tidak peka kepada Islam itu sendiri. Sebenarnya matlamat yang tersirat mencabar penggunaan Allah adalah jauh daripada yang tersurat. Islam sedang dicabar dengan terang terang.

Adakah umat Islam, kerajaan dan organisasi yang selama ini kononnya memperjuangkan Islam akan berdiam diri dengan penghinaan ini. Tidak ada apa yang hendak diraikan menjelang 2010 berikut keputusan ini. Dalam beribu ribu umat Islam meraikan tahun baru di Dataran Merdeka, KLCC dan Bangsar nama Allah dipersendakan oleh Katolik Malaysia.

Dimana UMNO, dimana PAS bila Islam dicabar sedemikian rupa. Peristiwa paling malang sepanjang 2009 dan akan menghantui 2010.

..

Ya ALLAH, Kau laknati dan hancurkan mereka mereka yang mencabar Agama dan Nama Mu dibumi ini. Amin

Siasat Mahathir... Stretegi tak menjadi?

Berbagai cara digunakan oleh Pakatan Rakyat dan kumpulan anti Malaysia untuk kucar kacirkan politik negara supaya boleh dikaitkan dengan kesetabilan dan seterusnya ekonomi negara. Yang terbaru supaya Tun Mahathir disiasat berlandaskan buku Malaysian Maverick oleh Barry Wain yang berpengkalan di Singapura. Lim Kit Siang dan Barry Wain tidak pernah ada rasa sayang pada negara ini, lebih lebih lagi pada bangsa Melayu. Matlamat utama Lim dan DAP sudah maklum, ia itu merubah keistemewaan orang melayu seperti yang termaktub dalam perlembagaan. Apa cara pun akan digunakan untuk meruntuhkan kredibiliti pemimpin negara terutama Melayu. Maka buku tulisan Barry Wain menjadi wadah baru Lim cuba mencemar sumbangan Tun Mahathir kepada Malaysia.

Malang untuk Lim dan Barry majoriti rakyat Malaysia lebih kenal Mahathir daripada mereka. Buku dan tomahan Lim tidak berkesan kerana sumbangan Mahathir kepada pembangunan dan ekonomi Malaysia bukan sahaja boleh dilihat tetapi dirasai oleh rakyat. Rakyat Malaysia hingga kini dapat hidup selesa dengan peluang pekerjaan yang luas, manakala warga asing masih berduyun duyun datang untuk mencari rezeki. Menara kembar PETRONAS dan Suria KLCC masih menjadi ikon kepada Kuala Lumpur dan menjadi tumpuan pelancong. Malahan ruang pejabat Menara Kembar PETRONAS sudah tidak dapat menampung keperluan ruang pejabat bagi kakitangan PETRONAS dan menara baru akan dibangunkan di KLCC untuk menampung keperluan tersebut. Pekara yang sama akan menjadi kenyataan kepada Putrajaya apabila ekonomi dunia melonjak kembali. Putrajaya adalah pusat pentadbiran yang dibina oleh Mahathir dengan wawasan yang amat jauh dan tidak tercapai oleh akal mereka mereka yang mahu Malaysia terus daif bagi mencapai cita cita politik mereka.

Bagi PM Najib tidak payahlah membuang masa melayan kerenah Lim Kit Siang dan pemimpin politik yang sewaktu dengannya. Fokus kepada pembangunan ekonomi negara dan kesejahtraan rakyat serta perkukuhkan sistem pentadbiran negara bagi mencapai wawasan yang tuan impikan bagi Malaysia. Rakyat tidak buta mata dan hati dan pasti dapat menyaksikan kebaikan yang dilaksanakan. Terus perbaiki kelemahan dan kesilapan kerana ia akan memastikan kecermelangan dalam kepimpinan. Selamt berjaya ditahun 2010.

Kahwin Campur & 1 Malaysia

Aain & Dato Arif ( Sdr Baru )

Baru baru ini saya menghadiri majlis perkahwinan seorang kakitangan Capt. Paul Aeria dan Pn June Low di Hotel Renaissance Kuala Lumpur. Paul berketurunan Protugis Campuran ( Vasco Da Gama ) manakala June berbangasa Cina ( keturunan Cheng Ho ) tetapi kedua dua mereka adalah rakyat Malaysia yang senang dan bahagia hidup di Malaysia. Jawatan yang baik dan kehidupan yang mewah membuat mereka hampir lupa hendak berkahwin dan keputusan menamatkan zaman bujang pada umur melebihi 40 tahun membahagiakan kedua dua keluarga June dan Paul.

Majlis perkahwinan mereka amat indah dan menarik kerana menggambarkan satu Malaysia, dimana para jemputan terdiri daripada pelbagai bangsa bersama meraikan pengantin, menjamu selera dengan penuh muhibbah. Tiada prasangka dan masallah perkauman langsung seperti yang selalu diwarwarkan oleh pemimpin politik. Hakikatnya selama ini kita hidup aman damai dan akan kekal begitu jika tidak di racuni dengan unsur2 perkauman yang segaja diperbesarkan. Dalam ucapan bapa pengantin prempuan, Dr Low mengucapkan terima kasih kepada semua yang hadir dan ahli keluarga yang berkerja keras menjayakan majlis. Ucapan terima kasih khusus kepada dua rakan karib beliau ia itu Dr. Awang yang banyak membantu dan menasihatkan beliau supaya membuka perusahaan sendiri setelah berkhidmat di hospital kerajaan. Dr. Samy yang bukan sahaja rakan karib tetapi yang telah membuat pembedahan terhadap kanser yang beliau hadapi sepuluh tahun dahulu. Persahabatan mereka bertiga yang amat akrab walaupun berbeza bangsa adalah satu contoh semagat satu Malaysia yang telah lama dipraktikkan dalam Negara ini dan boleh dilihat dimana mana. Semasa Malaysia menang melawan Laos semua rakyat Malaysia bersorak gembira tanpa memikirkan langsung tentang perkauman.

Saya juga adalah hasil daripada kahwin campur Melayu dan Cina dan langsung tidak mempunyai masallah berinteraksi dengan saudara saudara Cina saya yang amat memahami adat resam orang Melayu dan Islam. Kami menghormati antara satu sama lain dan menjadi penyumbang kepada pembangunan bangsa Malaysaia yang satu. Ramai kawan kawan India saya yang berkahwin dengan wanita Cina dan yang terbaru adik ipar Mawi ( Aain ) pun berkahwin dengan lelaki Cina yang menganut agama Islam ( Dato" Arif ). Walaupun perkahwinan campur memerlukan kesabaran, pengorbanan dan semangat tolak ansur yang tinggi, tetapi ia adalah satu phenomena yang tidak dapat dielakkan dalam suasana masyarakat majmuk di Malaysia, bahkan ia menyumbang kepada keharmonian Negara.

Semoga rakyat Malaysia terus saling hormat menghormati diantara satu sama lain berlunaskan kepada perundangan dan perlembagaan yang telah ditetapkan. Jika ini diteruskan kita akan terus hidup rukun damai membangun Negara yang tercinta.

Sultan Selangor & Raja Muda

Tengku Amir & Tetamu Jemputan
.
DYMM Sultan Selangor selamat menyempurnakan majlis keputeraan Tuanku sabtu lalu di Istana Shah Alam. Seperti biasa dalam majlis tersebut Tuanku memberi pengiktirafan kepada mereka mereka yang telah berjasa kepada negeri Selangor, melalui pingat pingat kebesaran negeri Selangor. Majlis berjalan penuh istiadat dan sempurna manakala kemanisan dimuka muka yang mendapat pengiktirafan Tuanku amat jelas.

Sebagai Raja yang berjiwa Rakyat, Tuanku dalam titahnya mengingatkan pemimpin, kakitangan awan dan rakyat menyempurnakan tanggung jawab masing masing dalam memastikan kehidupan yang sejahtra, aman dan damai di Selangor. Penekanan diberi kepada pemimpin politik agar lebih berkerja daripada membakar isu yang tidak membawa kebaikan kepada rakyat dan negeri. Pekara ini telah pun dilapurkan dalam semua akhbar dan media siber.

Yang menarik perhatian saya pada majlis tersebut adalah buat kali pertama Sultan telah membawa sama Raja Muda duduk disebelah Tuanku. Bahkan pada majlis perasmian Mesjid Klang sehari sebelum itu, Raja Muda juga turut sama dalam majlis perasmian dan membaca Yassin di Mesjid baru tersebut. Walaupun Raja Muda baru berusia 19 tahun tapi program mendidek beliau telah bermula bagi menjadikannya Raja berjiwa rakyat. Sebagai seorang Raja yang berpelajaran, prihatin dan berwawasan Tuanku merupakan diantara Raja Raja Melayu yang boleh dibanggakan. Sifat Tuanku yang memahami tanggung jawab sebagai Raja berpelembagaan dan mengikuti segala perkembangan semasa dalam pentadbiran, ekonomi dan sosial, menjadikan beliau begitu penting dalam perjalanan pentadbiran dan politik Selangor masa kini.

.

Semoga Tuanku dapat mendidik Tengku Amir menjadi pelapis yang hebat dalam menyumbang kepada kesejahtraan dan pembanguanan Selangor pada masa depan.

Malaysia Beat Laos 3 -1

So happy for the Malaysian team that beat Laos 3 -1 a few minutes ago. They really played their heart out when Laos even up 1-1 and looked to run down our team. I guessed when we put our heart and soul to it everything is possible.

Hope the boys will played well when we meet Vietnam in final. It will be exciting to beat the strong Vietnam team.

PKFZ SCANDAL ... Arrests Stage

Its looks like the long wait for actions against those responsible for the PKFZ fiasco has finally happened. Three arrests and more to come promised the AGs, its looks like more heads will rolls and it will be a good reminder for those in power not to make similar mistakes for the love of money. As much as I am happy that action being taken by the Government to prosecute those responsible in the scandal but I could not avoid my sadness seeing familiar face being charged in court.

OC Phang used to be a good friend when I was serving Marine Department and I always remembered her as a jovial non nonsense lady that never short of jokes. She served well in Ministry of Transport before being promoted to lead Port Klang Authority. She creates history in a way in leading the Malaysian Premier Port and International Association of Ports & Harbours. I hope she can defend all charges levelled on her. Being in the Maritime Industry for more then three decades give me the opportunity to understand the fiasco slightly better than general public.

The simple rules that should be observed by politicians from both fronts is that the people will no more tolerate abuse of power and self enriching in the expense of rakyat. If you cannot served for the interests of nation building and rakyat just take off and leave the job to the better person. There are still many in the Government and Pakatan Rakyat who are still living in their own wonderland defending their clans and agents. Stop it before it’s too late.

NAZRI YANG MERAPU

Kata kata yang keluar dari mulut Muhamad Nazri Abd Aziz semakin hari semakin memualkan. Dia bercakap seperti seorang yang tidak berpelajaran dan peka kepada situasi semasa. Saya merasa amat pelik bagaimana dia boleh bertahan sebagai seorang Menteri dengan rekod perkhidmatan yang tidak boleh dibanggakan. Kalau disektor swasta mereka yang sering melakukan kontervesi tidak berfaedah sepertinya telah lama ditamatkan perkhidmatan. Dia tidak mempunyai pendirian yang kukuh dalam sesuatu isu dan lebih kepada hendak menjadi juara kepada bos.

Bertikam lidah dengan Mahathir atas pekara Melayu racist adalah perbuatan yang agak bodoh kerana memang UMNO itu berjuang untuk Melayu. Tetapi dalam perjuangan tersebut bangsa lain tidak dijadikan korban dimana orang Cina menguasai bidang perniagaan dan orang India ramai menjadi kaya raya dan menjuarai bidang perguaman dan perubatan. Air Asia dan Maxis diterajui oleh orang India dan orang Melayu tidak pernah mempertikaikan pekara ini. Mungkin mereka mereka yang mempertikaikan keistemewaan orang Melayu seperti yang termaktub dalam perlembagaan akan hanya berpuas hati apabila Melayu itu merempat dinegeri sendiri. Tolerasi bangsa Melayu sentiasa dihimpit dan dianjak oleh mereka yang telah lupa bahawa ada istilah mengamuk dalam kamus Melayu. Dalam perkara ini cukuplah bangsa asing cuba menghancurkan kita, tapi jangan sampai segelitir Melayu itu menjadi petualang kepada bangsa dan agama sendiri.

Nazri juga nampaknya mencabar Nik Aziz supaya membawa isu royalti minyak kemahkamah. Sebagai bekas peguam dia patut sedar bahawa mahkamah itu bukan tempat terbaik untuk mendapat penyelesaian kepada sesuatu isu. Sebagai seorang menteri yang menjaga bidang perundangan dia tidak perlu mencabar sesiapa lebih lebih lagi Nik Aziz yang semestinya mempunyai pandangan yang berlainan dalam apa juga isu dengan kerajaan. Kematangan dan kawalan emosi Nazri dalam pelbagai isu gagal membawa kebaikan kepada kerajaan. Mungkin jalan terbaik untuk Nazri adalah dipencenkan dan memberi laluan kepada pemimpin lain yang lebih berwibawa.

Bila Belang Mula Timbul

Nampaknya sifat berbudi bahasa dan akhlak mulia mula hilang daripada kamus ahli politik Negara ini. Yang terbaru kita dapati sudah menjadi lumrah bagi pemimpin politik daripada barisan pembangkang meneruskan sifat kasar dan bongkak mereka dalam mengutarakan sesuatu issu. Sifat kurang tolerasi dan suka memburukkan pihak lawan masih menjadi stretegi utama mereka, walaupun cara tersebut sudah mula tidak berkesan dan memakan diri. Ini kerana rakyat yang telah memberi peluang kepada mereka untuk memerintah beberapa negeri mulai membandingkan prestasi mereka dalam membangunkan ekonomi dan pasarana rakyat dengan BN. Prestasi dan pembangunan yang dibawa mereka masih kabur dan tidak boleh dibanggakan. Jika ini berterusan tidak mustahil mereka akan ditolak oleh rakyat dalam pemilihan akan datang.

Sifat meminjak gambar bekas pemimpin mereka yang beralih arah menunjukkan sifat buruk dan tiada tolerasi DAP. Mereka yang kononnya memperjuangkan demokrasi dan kesamarataan hak rakyat gagal menghormati hak mereka yang berubah pendirian daripada mereka. Sifat Nik Aziz yang sanggup mendoakan kemusnahan PM Najib kerana berlainan pandangan mengenai wang ehsan yang akan diberikan kepada Kelantan mencerminkan sifat sebenar ulama tersebut. Di Selangor MB Khalid masih lagi menyalahkan kerajaan BN walaupun telah memrintah Selangor hampir dua tahun. Yang terbaru salahkan kursus BTN kononnya membawa mudarat kepada Negara dan peserta.

Cara terbaik politik masa kini adalah mempamerkan PRESTASI dan AKHLAK yang tinggi dimata rakyat. Rakyat tidak boleh selamanya digula gulakan dengan janji manis yang tidak di tepati atau perangai cakap tidak serupa bikin. Bagi pemimpin yang masih tidak sedar dan dibuai kuasa, jangka hayat mereka tidak akan bertahan lama. Mereka akan menjadi bahan sejarah dalam pemilihan PRU 13 nanti.

Berkorban atau menjadi Korban

Selamat Hari Raya Korban kepada semua rakan bloggers dan rakyat Malaysia yang beragama Islam. Sempena hari yang mulia ini mari kita lihat apakah pengorbanan kita dalam memastikan umat Islam Negara ini terutama orang Melayu bersatu tidak kira dari fahaman politik mana mereka datang.

Jangan kita biarkan mereka yang tamak kuasa menggadai agama dan bangsa untuk kepetingan diri mereka. Islam adalah untuk semua yang berikrar bahawa tiada Tuhan melainkan Allah dan Nabi Muhammad itu pesuruh Allah, bukan hanya untuk PAS, UMNO atau PKR. Kalau kita berada di Mekah sekarang kita akan dapati lebih dari 3 juta umat Islam dari pelbagai pelusuk dunia dengan berbagai fahaman dan budaya mengesakan Allah. Jangan kita disini menjadi sempit hati dan perasaan bertelagah sesama sendiri hingga sanggup menggadaikan masa depan anak anak kita.

Saya merasa amat sedih bila bercakap dengan sahabat yang taksub kepada sesebuah parti hingga sanggup mencerca dan mengutuk saudara Islam yang lain. Kalau dulu adalah biasa bagi pengikut PAS mencerca dan mengutuk pengikut UMNO tetapi sekarang saya dapati pengikut PAS sanggup mengutuk sesama sendiri hanya kerana berbeza pendapat dalam sesuatu issu. Ini adalah perkembangan yang amat tidak sihat dan menjadi harapan kita ianya dapat ditangani sebelum menjadi barah yang tidak dapat diubati dan seterusnya membawa bala kepada Negara.

HUJAN.......

Hujan datang lagi
Turun dan turun tak mahu berhenti
Menangis langit macam meratap si mati
Kini bencana mengganti rezeki

Habis tenggelam kampung dan bandar
Ladang dan sawah menjadi lautan
Hilang punca hilang pendapatan
Hidup gelap diselubung awan

Guru dilema, murid merana
Sekolah banjir, SPM tetap berjalan
Murid jadi mangsa, SPM jadi taruhan
Macam mana hendak jawab kalau otak dah masuk air

Hujan berhentilah
Kasihan pada anak anak sekolah
Kasihan pada petani dan peladang
Kasihan pada kami yang tidak berdaya melawan takdir

Dilema Tok Guru

Gerak Sumbang
.
Tok Guru dilema lagi
Menantu dan kuncu berlaga angin
Semua tak kena, semua tak menjadi
Ditelan mati kuncu diluah mati menantu
SPRM duduk tunggu depan pintu
.
Dilema Tok Guru makin menjadi
Sheih kena tendang, Husam merajuk
Masa depan bertambah hitam
Ingat nak pekena Hasan dan Hadi
Kenapa gerak makan diri
.
Menantu dah jadi hantu
Harap pagar pagar makan padi
Harap kan sumpah, sumpah makan diri
Mana kambing hitam, mana petualang
Mana UMNO durjana, puncha segala bala
.
Tok Guru dilema lagi
Kenapa langkah makin tak menjadi
Kenapa fatwa tak masin lagi
Hati dan perasaan masih gagah
Kenapa langkah makin sumbang

SiPuteh dan SiHitam

Adun ponteng jatuh parit
Bertitah hakim besar
Kosong, kosongkan

Tuan speaker syok dan puas
Macam lepas kena kandar kayu
Tersandar senyum kambing

Jom pilih raya lagi
Kutuk, kitar dan pusing lagi
Jangan pilih hantu raya

Awan biru nak tutup bulan
Bulan mengambang pak ngah terbalik
Jangan sampai menang sorak Melayu tergadai

Najib Moves.... Tumbuk & Tepis

Tumbuk & Tepis
.

So much happenings out there, especially in the political scenes that never seemed to subside despite almost two years after PRU 12. The politicians are getting at each others throats and most parties from both fronts are having a turbulence times including MCA, PPP, PAS, PKR, MIC etc. Even our Tok Guru Nik Aziz is having a tough time with his Haj trip, son in law and the party itself. MCA is having a three corners fight where most likely all of them are going to be dumped by the members. Dr.Asri is now testing his popularity against JAIS and as he has threathened to join a political party if cornered to the wall…. I wonder which party will he be joining. While the others are having difficult times UMNO and Dato Sri Najib seemed to be doing rather well and gaining momentum in getting support from the rakyat. His confidence building strategy and actions seemed to be capturing the populous hearts. The normal strategy of PR in blaming everything to UMNO seemed to be out of trends.

I was talking to a friend who is a great supporter of Pakatan Rakyat and you would not believe what he told me. He said that Najib has been using Indian bomoh, that why now all the people likes him and forget about his misdeeds. It really made me laughed at how an educated guy can even think that way. On the hand it made my observations about Najib and his government almost spot on, which is he is going on a right track in terms of strategy and activities in moving the country forward. After gaining confidence from the rakyat now he is making his impact on the regional and international scenes. The visit by Presidents of China and Indonesia speaks for itself. The APEC meeting at Singapore provided him with a perfect stage for the second stage campaign. Congratulations to the Foreign Minister who has been working very hard in making sure the second stage campaign a success.

There is still about three years before PRU13 lets hope it's not wasted on political gimmicks, but instead fully used for economic and nation building that much needed by the rakyat.

Meanwhile I am enjoying my painting with the second piece almost done. It’s a continuation of my Gerak Series titled Tumbuk & Tepis. In life we have to do all sorts of movements to survive and counteract the bad moves by our enemy. Like in silat at times we have to Tepis, while in another we have to Tumbuk to survive. The second painting reflects the reality of life where we just can’t stand still to survive this challenging world.

..

Gerak .... Tumbuk & Tepis

Mission accomplished... Gerak

Gerak Panglima..... done

.

After a few make over and touch up I have decided to sign my first work. It’s done since the owner wanted it this way, without further refinement. I am very happy to sign off the first work despite wanting to make more touch up on it.

While I was finishing the piece my daughter and significant half were also having a go at the painting to keep me company and motivated. They came up with beautiful paintings on Flower Pot and Landscape. I displayed their works for your pleasures.

Well I will start on second piece soon to capture these painting moods.

.

Landscape..... beginning

...

Landscape ..... done .... acrylic on paper..very good piece too

.

Flower Pot....... beginning

..

Flower Pot .... done ... exciting acrylic on paper

Gerak Panglima my first Acrylic

I have decided to have a go at acrylic painting after getting much encouragement from Pak Zawi determination and passion towards it. It was more difficult then I thought despite having a go at abstract rather the realist style. Still finding my ways with the most suitable and perfect strokes.

Well I am not finish yet with it but I displayed it here for your view. Being my first painting I meant so much to me despite being far from perfect. It shows three pesilat getting at each other and I named it Gerak Panglima. Let hope it looks much better when I finally finish with it. Anyway the painting has been booked by someone that I could not refuse.

..

Duit Minyak Kelantan

Bila PM Najib umum hendak beri wang ehsan minyak kepada Kelantan, Nik Aziz tak berapa hendak setuju dengan nama wang yang akan diberi itu. Tapi dia tetap bershukur dan akan puasa nazar 3 hari atas keputusan tersebut. Husam Musa jaguh exco Kelantan pun melatah tak setuju langsung dengan pemberian tersebut dan hendak saman kerajaan Persekutuan. Kononnya dia pakar perundangan dan tafsiran Najib salah, dia yang betul semua.

Alahai Husam apalah jenis pemimpin Islam kamu ini, kalau Tok Guru tahu bershukur kenapalah kamu jadi bebal dan bodoh sombong. Tidak nampak langsung perangai seorang pemimpin Islam yang berhemah daripada sikap kamu. Sepatutnya seorang pemimpin yang cerdik pandai macam kamu boleh membangunkan ekonomi Kelantan sampai tidak memerlukan bantuan kerajaan Persekutuan yang serba tidak betul itu. Janganlah ashik merengek menyalahkan semua orang sedangkan sendiri tidak dapat membuktikan kebolehan membangun Kelantan sebagai negeri yang berdikari. Pekara yang sama harus dibuat oleh Selangor dan Pulau Pinang. Buktikan kepada Najib yang kamu lebih pandai dan cerdik daripada dia dan tidak memerlukan ehsan daripadanya.

Nampaknya permainan orang politik ini lain macam, semuanya ikut kepentingan diri melebihi rakyat. Kalau dulu BN yang pakar dalam hal ini sekarang nampaknya penyakit telah menjangkiti PAS dan PR.

Jaff Art Gallery..... online now

Flower pot by Rafi Ghani

.

I have decided to launch my Jaff Art Gallery ( www.jaffgallery.blogspot.com) to share my art collections with friends and art lover in the cyber space. It will also be the place where I safe keep the soft copy of my collections and interacts with others that shares similar interests.

As a start I share with you my latest collection Sepasang Serama by Nazri, a self taught artist from Kuantan. He is a very good realist artist making his Serama paintings something that I could not resists. In fact at the recent Pahang Artist Association Exhibition at TV3 four of his Serama Series paintings were bought by prominent personalities icluding Dato Seri Jamaludin Jarjis (Malaysian Ambassador to US ) and Yusof Gajah (renowned artist ). I wish Nazri all the best and hope he will produced more master pieces for the art scene.

PKR out of Trends.....

More then a year ago it was trendy to be against the Government and Government bashing was the name of the game. Almost everybody that I talked to before have nothing good to say about the government and full of complaints. It was puzzling to me because despite the many floors, I always hold the ground that there are also plenty good things that have been done by the ruling government all these years, otherwise we will be more like the under developed third world countries with unending feuds and extreme poverty crisis. Despite the cynical and mocking remarks by many I see the changing of batons from Tun Abdullah Badawi to Datuk Sri Najib Abd Razak as refreshing with light of hope.

It looks like within the short time of taking over the Government, Najib has managed to instill confidence into the Government and rakyat. He managed to put in quick fixes and long term plan and strategy that shift the misconception of the ruling Government. Despite many still rumbling about the understanding of 1 Malaysia concept, but in general the acceptance of rakyat, government and private institutions on the Concept is falling into place. It is now about delivering the visions and objectives line up to invoke radical changes for the benefit of the rakyat and nation. It’s no more about politicians and individuals…… those who could not deliver will perish faster then they realized.

What is happening to Pakatan Rakyat coalition parties? PAS almost has a fatal blow when Nik Aziz demands for EGM to remove so called anti PR leaders. The management team managed to water it down to a Seminar that supposed to address the issue but then the in fighting is not going to end in the near future. The in fighting will continues until one of the team is being reduced to a minimal. PKR is having it nightmares now with more leaders and wakil rakyat leaving the party. It’s difficult to live on empty promises and so far not much can be seen on good changes in the PR ruled states. The art of blaming the BN for all misdeeds does not hold water anymore…… unless the PR can shows monumental changes in economy and governance they are going to be out of trends. It looks like the troubles brewing in PKR and PAS will become cancerous if effective medication or surgery is not being dispensed timely. The resignation of Jeffrey Kitingan, Badrul Hisahm and Zaid sabbatical may just be the tip of the ice berg that will finally sink the ship called PKR.

Having said that the BN is not on stable ground either. The feuding MCA and out of trends MIC may become a parasite that suck all the good blood in BN. They have to shape up fast or may have to be shift out in an orderly manner. UMNO have to walk the talk and delivered all the changes expected by the rakyat. Eventually they have to touch the heart of every rakyat by their doing and not political gimmicks. Gone are the days of fancy cars, cigars and mega villas. They have to live like the rakyat and behave like a WAKIL RAKYAT not TUAN kepada RAKYAT. They must capture this changing trend fast and be once again the evergreen reliable , fashionable and fatally effective governing machine.

Pahang Artists Exhibition @TV3

..

VVIP, organisers and participating artists
..

There is something about art …. It’s attracts me like magnet, what more if the event is being organized by friend. So to be at Pahang Artists Art Exhibition @ TV3, was not an option but rather a must. Datin Mamasita did a great job organizing the event that was officiated by YB Datuk Maznah, Deputy Minister of Human Resource. The opening went on smoothly and we had tea with the Deputy Minister after that ….. She was passionate about developing and supporting the Pahang Artists. There were few blogger friends including Putri Kama, NanaDJ, Wan Rusli and few others that I didn’t catch their names at the launch and tea.

I won’t talk about the painting on display; suffice to say that there are many great works that will capture your eyes and maybe your pocket. I end up buying a painting “ Se Pasang Ayam Serama “ by Nazri. The painting reminds me of the ayam serama that I used to keep. Serama the beautiful bantam chicken that very majestic, bold and colorful originated from Malaysia. See for yourself from the paintings of Serama (smallest chicken in the world) by Nazri .

The exhibition will be on from 9 – 5 pm until 3rd November 2009, so if you are free come by and enjoy the beautiful paintings from the Pahang Artists. If you decided to purchase any of the artwork, part of the proceeds will be donated to the Padang Earthquake victims. Congratulations to Mamasita for the success of the exhibition.

Night and Day.... Abu Yusof

Night and Day ... 4'x5' Acrylic on Canvas

After buying Pak Zawi painting my art craze seeped in again. I have been avoiding gallery and art exhibition simply because I am running out of wall to hang my collections. Now I am breaking the rules again and today I bought another exciting art piece titled “ Night and Day” by Abu Yusof. The abstract painting reflects the current chaotic social ills and mad race that made differentiation between good and bad so faint. Luckily God made night and day otherwise we would not know when to stop work and sleep. We will be lost in the chase for wealth and power because, truth and honesty does not matter anymore.

This art piece from Abu Yusof reminds me not to be trapped in the rat race and pollution of the mind. I have to swim away from the strong current that dragging me to the ocean. I am happy in my port and with my new art piece “ Night and Day”. For those who love art, see if you could relates yourself with this exciting work from Abu Yusof. Break away from bad politics be it in the office or at Bagan Pinang.

Pak Zawi...... Art Piece

Traditonal Kelantan Fishing Boat by Pak Zawi

I got email message from Pak Zawi that he has couriered his painting for me which should reached by Thursday. Despite seeing the painting by email,I was still excited to see the art work life. Got a call from the courier service that they have tried to deliver the parcel twice but failed because nobody at home. I realized that they have sent to the wrong address because the house opposite to me has identical address to mine minus the letter G ( mine was No2, Jln 3/5G and hers No2, 3/5 ). Managed to clarify the address with the courier service girl and she promised to send it the next day. Finally I received the parcel from Pak Zawi today and was so happy with what I see.

As if reading my mind Pak Zawi painted the Traditional Kelantan Fishing Boat impressionist style with river and greenery background setting. There was the boat, river with two tone water colors and shadows. The background captured few houses in a greenery lungs and blue whitish sky. I love the painting life more then in the email photo. It will be a special art piece for me not only because of its quality but because it was painted with passion and care from my friend Pak Zawi. I could feel the energy and careful strokes he made in creating this art piece. He was giving his best to deliver me a piece that will make me smile…… Pak Zawi you did a great job, even all my kids love it.

..

Another important part of a painting is the write up that goes with it. Pak Zawi wrote a wonderful write up about the painting. For art lovers a wall without a painting is like soulless and empty being. A real painting will provide a life to the wall, house and people living in it. If you have an empty wall try get a painting of your taste, especially from a painter you know. It may change your life as it touches mine.

Being a Grandparent.....

Mak Tok with cucu and cicit on her birthday

I got this posting from another close friend of mine a former high court judge. He must be laughing his head off reading the lines and nodding in agreement. As a grandparent he knows the subject matter better but I guess soon every one of us will face the reality if we live long enough.

On one occasion in Langkawi we were having dinner at a seafood restaurant hosted by a former Chief of the Navy. His grandson was there on his lap and giving all the orders. Ohh my God I wonders how he tolerated the grandson antics that including asking him to take him for a walk in the middle of the dinner. He just smiled and said he could easily command the whole fleets of the Malaysian Navy but when it came his grandson he just lose control and command. That little guy is the Admiral and in full charge of both the grandpa and grandma.

So let’s enjoy the rest of the observations on what grandparents are! It will be a good laugh and away from the messy political fronts that invading our lives.

.

Being a Grandparent...

..

1. She was in the bathroom, putting on her makeup, under the watchful eyes of her young granddaughter, as she'd done many times before. After she applied her lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, 'But Gramma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye!' I will probably never put lipstick on again without thinking about kissing the toilet paper good-bye!!

..

2. My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. He asked me how old I was, and I told him, '62.' He was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, 'Did you start at 1?

..

3. After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin. Finally, she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, putting them back to bed with stern warnings. As she left the room, she heard the three-year-old say with a trembling voice, 'Who was THAT?'

..

4. A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like: 'We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods.' The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this all in. At last she said, 'I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!'

..

5. My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?' mentally polished my halo and I said, 'No, how are we alike?'' You're both old,' he replied.

6. A little girl was diligently pounding away on her grandfather's word processor. She told him she was writing a story. 'What's it about?' he asked. 'I don't know,' she replied. 'I can't read.

7. I didn't know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her. I would point out something and ask what color it was. She would tell me and was always correct. It was fun for me, so I continued. At last she headed for the door, saying, 'Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some of these yourself!'

8. When my grandson Melvin and I entered our vacation cabin, we kept the lights off until we were inside to keep from attracting pesky insects.. Still, a few fireflies followed us in. Noticing them before I did, Billy whispered, 'It's no use Grandpa. Now the mosquitoes are coming after us with flashlights.'

9. When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingl replied, 'I'm not sure.' 'Look in your underwear, Grandpa,' he advised. 'Mine says I'm four to six.'

10. A second grader came home from school and said to her grandmother, 'Grandma, guess what? We learned how to make babies today.' The grandmother, more than a little surprised, tried to keep her cool. 'That's interesting,' she said, 'how do you make babies? 'It's simple,' replied the girl. 'You just change 'y' to 'i' and add 'es'.'

11. Children's Logic: 'Give me a sentence about public servant,' said a teacher. The small boy wrote: 'The fireman came down the ladder pregnant.' The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. 'Don't you know what pregnant means?' she asked. 'Sure,' said the young boy confidently. 'It means carrying a child.'

12. A nursery school teacher was delivering a station wagon full of kids home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing the dog's duties. 'They use him to keep crowds back,' said one child. 'No,' said another, 'He's just for good luck.' A third child brought the argument to a close. 'They use the dogs,' she said firmly, 'to find the fire hydrants!'

WHAT IS A GRANDPARENT? (Taken from papers written by a class of 8-year-olds)
Grandparents are a lady and a man who have no little children of their own. They like other people's.

A grandfather is a man and a grandmother is a lady!

Grandparents don't have to do anything except be there when we come to see them. They are so old they shouldn't play hard or run. It is good if they drive us to the shops and give us money. When they take us for walks, they slow down past things like pretty leaves and caterpillars.They show us and talk to us about the colors of the flowers and also why we shouldn't step on 'cracks.' They don't say, 'Hurry up.' Usually grandmothers are fat but not too fat to tie your shoes. They wear glasses and funny underwear. They can take their teeth and gums out.

Grandparents don't have to be smart.They have to answer questions like 'Why isn't God married?' and 'How come dogs chase cats?' When they read to us, they don't skip. They don't mind if we ask for the same story over again. Everybody should try to have a grandmother, especially if you don't have television because they are the only grownups who like to spend time with us. They know we should have snack time before bed time, and they say prayers with us and kiss us even when we've acted bad.

A 6-YEAR-OLD WAS ASKED WHERE HIS GRANDMA LIVED. 'OH,'' HE SAID, ''SHE LIVES AT THE AIRPORT, AND WHEN WE WANT HER, WE JUST GO GET HER. THEN WHEN WE'RE DONE HAVING HER VISIT, WE TAKE HER BACK TO THE AIRPORT.''

GRANDPA IS THE SMARTEST MAN ON EARTH! HE TEACHES ME GOOD THINGS, BUT I DON'T GET TO SEE HIM ENOUGH TO GET AS SMART AS HIM!

It's funny when they bend over; you hear gas leaks, and they blame their dog.
Send this to other grandparents, almost grandparents, or heck, send it to everyone! It will make their day.

The Truth Is........

I got this beautiful message that full of truth from a close friend. It stirred my mind that if you really care then you must shared good things with your loves ones and friends. This close friend of mine lost his wife recently and despite his sorrows never fails to share good things with me. He used to jokes about taking second wife before but then when I asked him now about marrying a new wife he is full of sorrow. He said it was quite difficult to find new person who will understands his predicaments and loves his children as much as loving him. He needs time and many friends are helping out by introducing him suitable candidates. In silence I pray that he will meet a woman that love him and his children for what they are, simple loving people that have no hatred for others but full of love and good deeds.

It's good to reads again the words of George Carlin in the environment we are facing today right here in Malaysia when :-

People talk about love but hated those who differs in opinions and beliefs with them.

People talk about nation building but destroy every value that contributed to the prosperity thus far.

People talk about justice but the minute the law caught on them, justice serve no purpose at all.

..

People talk about Islamic values but then called their own brothers infidels.

..

People talk about people power but the minute in power forget about the plight of rakyat.

..

People talk, talk and talk but never walk the talk.

This is a master piece. If you have not read it take the time to read it now. If you have read it take time to read it again! GEORGE CARLIN (His wife recently died...).Isn't it amazing that George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's - could write something so very eloquent...and so very appropriate.

A Message by George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk
too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies
than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.

It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not
going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. An embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the
precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

If you don't send this to other people....Who cares?

YASSIN & PENAWAR

Kuliah subuh Surau As Sobah 29/8/09
Dato’Dr. Amran Kasimin

1. Manusia berkongsi hidup didunia ini bersama kejadian Allah yang lain seperti jin, syaitan dan iblis ( makhluk halus ) yang tidak dapat dilihat dengan mata kasar.

2. Kadangkala berlaku pertembungan diantara manusia dengan makhluk tersebut dimana manusia diganggu samada dirumah, pejabat atau dalam dirinya sendiri.

3. Walaupun keujudan makhluk tersebut termaktup dalam Quran tetapi ramai yang tidak percaya hingga terkena batang hidung sendiri.

4. Selalunya bila gangguan oleh makhluk tersebut mengganas dan diluar kawalan maka bomoh atau ustaz akan dicari untuk memulihkankan keadaan. Hidup bila diganggu oleh makhluk halus amat tidak tenteram dan berkecamuk.

5. Dalam keadaan begini kalau kita mengetahui serba sedikit mengenai cara merawat atau melindungi diri dari gangguan tersebut amatlah berguna kerana sebaik2 pendinding atau penawar adalah jika kita sendiri yang mengamalnya.

6. Yassin adalah antara ayat2 Allah yang mempunyai seribu hikmah mengikut NIAT dan HAJAT siPEMBACA. Kaedah pembacaan dan cara untuk menjadikannya sebagai penawar dikongsi oleh Dr. Amran untuk makluman kita.

7. Kaedah pembacaan 7 Mubin ( nyata ) adalah dimana disetiap ayat yang berakhir dengan perkataan MUBIN kita akan berhenti dan berdoa kepada Allah memohon hajat kita, seperti dipulihkan dari gangguan makhluk halus atau buatan orang. Lepas berdoa kita mulakan semula bacaan daripada awal ayat, ia itu YASSIN hingga ke perkataan MUBIN kedua, dimana kita berhenti lagi dan berdoa kembali. Ini kita ulangi hingga ke MUBIN ketiga, berdoa kembali dan kemudian baca kembali dari mula hingga ke MUBIN keempat dalam kaedah yang sama hingga lah habis keMubin yang ketujuh. Kaedah ini boleh dilakukan seorang diri atau berkumpulan. Disetiap MUBIN jika pratikal pembaca bolehlah berdoa dalam keadaan sujud, kalau tidak berdoa dalam keadaan biasa.

8. Kita boleh juga meletakkan air dan garam kasar yang dicampur dengan lada hitam dihadapan kita dan selepas berdoa hembuskan kepada air tersebut. Garam dan lada hitam boleh digunakan untuk menghalau makhluk halus dengan menaburnya disekeliling rumah atau bangunan yang diganggu. Garam dan lada hitam yang telah dibaca dengan Yassin akan menjadi seperti bom membakar makhluk halus.

9. Sebelum merenjis air Yassin atau garam dan lada hitam ketempat yang bermasallah bacalah Azan dengan kuat, sebaiknya dilakukan selepas maghrib atau tengah malam. Renjisan hendaklah dimulakan dari kanan berakhir diluar rumah dimana garam ditabur keatas bumbung rumah secara simbolik.

10. Air Yassin boleh diminum oleh pesakit dan mandi dengan air campuran Yassin selepas waktu asar. Air dicurah bermula dari kaki membawa kekepala dan air akhir jangan dilap, biar kering dibadan.

11. Kaedah ini boleh digunakan bagi merawat manusia atau rumah/pejabat yang diganggu makhluk halus. Ia juga berkesan bagi merawat wanita yang terkena buatan orang.

12. Kebelakangan ini terdapat ramai wanita yang dikikis duitnya oleh lelaki yang menggunakan ilmu hitam untuk menundukkan teman wanita mereka. Wanita yang terkena buatan ini akan memberi wang ringgit dan diri kepada teman lelaki durjana tadi tanpa menyedari dia menjadi mangsa. Cubalah kaedah 7 Mubin ini untuk memulihkan wanita tersebut dengan minum dan mandi air Yassin.

13. Rumah atau pejabat yang diganggu oleh makhluk halus sentiasa panas dan penghuni akan selalu bermimpi buruk dan menakutkan disamping ternampak kelibas makhluk halus didalam rumah.

14. Kaedah ini juga boleh digunakan untuk keluarkan makhluk halus yang bersarang dalam badan akibat mengamalkan ilmu kebal, pendinding, silat, pemanis dsb.

15. Semoga ilmu yang dikongsi ini dapat membantu kita atau orang yang kita sayangi dimasa depan.

16. Tetapi janganlah tunggu hingga bermasallah baru membaca surah YASSIN jadikan ia amalan harian atau mingguan dan kalau boleh hingga kita berjaya menghafalnya. Bila membaca Yassin dalam keadaan biasa sedekahkan pahala bacaan pada Nabi Muhammad saw, Nabi2 sebelum Nabi Muhammad, Ahli keluarga, para sahabat dan pengikut sahabat Nabi, wali2 Allah dan guru agama kemudian kepada kedua ibu bapa kita, anak dan saudara mara kita serta sekalian muslimin dan muslimat agar mereka mendapat keampunana Allah dan dijauhi daripada api neraka. Pohonlah juga agar berkat bacaan Yassin tersebut kita dan keluarga dilindungi Allah daripada segala bahaya, malapetaka, bencana dan kelemahan diri, serta daripada harsat dengki, khianat dan gangguan jin, syaitan atau makhluk Allah yang lain.

17. SELAMAT BERAMAL kerana ILMU yang tidak diamal adalah sia2 dan tidak dapat membantu kita.

Bila Agama & Bangsa diHina....Dimana kita

Saya pernah menulis bahawa yang akan menghancurkan orang Islam dan Melayu ialah bangsa itu sendiri kerana orang China dan India tidak berupaya melakukannya sendiri. Ini memang ditahu benar oleh mereka, sebab itu mereka menggunakan taktik Yahudi memecah belah orang Melayu seperti Yahudi pecah belahkan orang Arab. Akibat Melayu berpecah sekarang orang Cina dan India dalam DAP dan PKR telah berani menghina dan mencaci Agama Islam dan orang Melayu secara terang terang. Dalam keadaan sebegini kemana pergi nya pejuang Islam, Tok Guru dan Ulama dari PAS yang senyap sunyi dan tidak sanggup menyokong Datuk Dr. Hassan Ali, Pesuruhjaya PAS Selangor, yang mahu arak tidak dijual dikawasan majoriti Melayu di Shah Alam. Menteri Besar Selangor, orang Islam pun sudah berpaling tadah kepada agama sendiri kerana fahaman politik songsang dan membabi buta. Kenapa bekas ahli koprat tersohor PKR ini menjadi buta hati dan mata dalam isu yang jelas dan semudah ini? Mungkin disini ada hikmah bagi majoriti umat Islam untuk menilai siapa sebenarnya yang menjadi pengkhianat bangsa dan Agama.

Bangsa Melayu adalah satu kaum yang paling tinggi budi bahasa dan tolerasi dalam dunia ini. Pergilah keseluruh pelusuk dunia dan buat kajian apa yang saya katakan ini, sama ada benar atau teori semata. Bangsa asing boleh hidup dalam kampung dan kelompok Melayu tanpa apa apa masallah, tetapi bagi kawasan yang majoriti kaum asing belum tentu orang Melayu boleh menumpang hidup. Ini saya katakan melalui pengalaman hidup saya sendiri di Malaysia dan setelah merantau hampir keseluruh dunia. Siapakah yang sebenarnya paling “racist” dalam Negara ini? Yang pasti dan jelas sekarang, ia bukanlah orang Melayu yang merupakan penduduk majoriti, dimana hak dan keistemewaan mereka termaktup dalam perlembagaan.

Kenapa sebilangan orang Melayu yang berpendidikan sudah tidak dapat berfikir secara rasional dan berhemah tentang masa depan anak cucu sendiri. Sanggup menjadi pengkhianat bangsa dan agama semata mata kerana idelogi politik dan fahaman yang sempit. Sanggup diperkuda oleh idelogi Yahudi yang mahu melihat Negara ini hancur dan dijajah semula dalam bentuk baru. Kenapa ada yang sanggup memutar belit ayat ayat Allah semata mata untuk merancuni pemikiran bangsa sendiri demi kepentingan politik. Akibat disemarakkan dengan racun emosi oleh pemimpin pengkhianat bangsa maka ramai oragng Melayu/Islam tewas untuk berfikir dalam kesederhanaan dan bertindak secara membabi buta. Anugerah paling istemewa dari Allah iaitu AKAL sudah tidak dapat berfungsi lagi akibat rancun fitnah dan rakus untuk berkuasa.

Semoga bangsa ku yang telah hilang pedoman kembali kejalan yang benar dan berhenti merosakkan bangsa dan Negara. Saya percaya ramai diantara kita telah sedar bahawa usha jahat untuk porak perandakan Negara dengan menghalalkan cara tidak boleh dibiarkan. Ia perlu ditentang secara intelektual dan fizikal sehingga dikuburkan. Marilah kita kembali berfikir dan bertindak secara rasional demi Agama, Bangsa dan Negara.

Celebrating Kak Teh & Awang Goneng

Putri Kama & Kak Teh.... after 30 years... Tom at the back

Dr. Nor, Kak Teh & Scent of Woman .... pretty ladies

I was delighted to be invited to a special dinner for Kak Teh and Awang Goneng hosted by lovely couple Putri Kama and Pak Abu at Royal Lake Club yesterday. The Chinese food was sumptuous while the company simply amazing and full of fun and merry. Apparently Putri Kama last met Kak Teh 30 years ago and wanted so much to have a great reunion ….. I guessed she met the KPI with flying color. As usual when bloggers get together you will expect plenty of noises, laughter and surprises.

Pokku, Uncle Som, Awang Goneng and Ian..... the soup was good!

I personally was jolted with few surprises, meeting “new blogging friends” whom actually I have known for many years like Tom and Tireless Mum. Of course it was great to meet Sakmongkol, Mamasita, The scent of a women, NanaDJ and hubby, Ishak and wife and many others in person. It was also a pleasant surprise to know that Radin Galoh was a friend of my wife from Sekolah Menengah Sains Cheras. I could see that both Kak Teh and Awang Goneng enjoyed the occasion so much moving from table to table sharing jokes and latest thoughts.

How could you end a beautiful night without a song or songs? Well the short karaoke session was an eye opener by itself. Now I knew that Putri Kama can sing like an artist while many other hidden talents were finally discovered. It was a night to remember and many thanks to Putri Kama and Pak Abu, our perfect host.

Sakmongkol & Mamasita ... happy and manjanya
