Point well made and point taken.

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

We have not entered the 3rd week post election and yet, we have seen changes taking place. Everything appears to be more transparent now. MPs required to declare their assets twice within the next 5 years, more people friendly policies and many more could not make people happier.

Pak Lah was saying in The Star today

"I thank the Malaysian people for this message. Point well made and point taken," he said Tuesday in his keynote address at the Invest Malaysia 2008 conference here.

"During the last elections, we lost the cyberwar. The young people were looking at SMSes, Internet and other tools to get information. We did not think that it was important to respond to them. It was a serious misjudgment. It was a very serious mistake on our part."

at least on my part, I thank Pak Lah for his bravery in admitting his/their mistakes. That gesture impresses me. I am a realistic, what needs to be complimented, I will do so. Fanatic and blind loyalty are not part of me. Any wrong needs to be corrected, and the right will be complimented, accordingly.

With regards to Akta Universiti dan Kolej Universiti, good news to all students.

PUTRAJAYA: Menteri Pengajian Tinggi yang baru, Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin, berkata kerajaan akan meminda Akta Universiti dan Kolej Universiti 1971 (AUKU) bagi memberi pelajar dan universiti lebih kebebasan. Beliau berkata, kajian awal mendapati beberapa peraturan dalam AUKU menyekat kreativiti pelajar dan pihak pengurusan universiti untuk mencapai tahap kecemerlangan di peringkat global.

See, when Malaysians voice the opinions out collectively, everyone wins.

to football fans out there, this is a player to watch for years to come. I'm pretty sure lots of you know him(as a player, of course!). He plays for Marseille, his name is Samer Nasri and one day he will play for Liverpool. Yeah right...



one of the comments for this video

liverpool need him....he's fabulous at the position of attacking midfielder which liverpool is currently lacking.....................Sell voronin, riise and crouch or kyut out...Get him. Please

lol!!that's funny. I agree that we should get rid off players like Voronin and Kuyt. For Crouch, I think it'd be a bad idea not to have him. Crouch can be very handy to have at many times, only restricted time on the field has prevented him from reaching the sky this season. Who would forget his hattrick against Arsenal last season?

assalamualaikum
p/s : 2 years ago, I was one of Kuyt's biggest fans. hoho.

assalamualaikum

I won't write anything on the recent NEP issue, I am no expert to be honest.

The reason I blog today is to congratulate my sister, Syasya(Siti Syazwani Fickry) on her SPM results. She obtained 10As(7A1's and 3A2's). She's the smartest in the family, no doubt.

Being a Malay Muslim, I feel extremely proud when I look at this.

GELANG PATAH 12 Mac – Norlaila Najwa Hasbullah, 17, dari Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Gelang Patah memperoleh 19A dalam peperiksaan Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) 2007 yang keputusannya diumumkan hari ini.

Beliau mendapat 16 1A dan 3 2A untuk mata pelajaran Bahasa Malaysia, Tasawwur Islam dan Pengetahuan Sains Sukan. – Utusan.

PUTRAJAYA: SMKA Yan student Azali Azlan has set a new record by obtaining 21 As – 20 1As and one 2A – in the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination.

He has beaten the record set by former SMK Ulu Tiram student Nur Amalina Che Bakri who scored 17 1As in 2004.

It seems to me Sekolah Agama students are doing very well nowadays. Last year, a student from Yayasan Islam Kelantan scored 18A's in her SPM. Dasyat!!!

Syabas kepada semua yang berjaya, Cina, India dan Melayu. Bersama semua menuju Malaysia yang gemilang.

Post election concerns

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

before I start, I would like to remind myself and every Muslim that our brothers and sisters in Palestine are suffering badly in the past few days. More than 100 have died, do not just sit around and have a laugh on unnecessary matters. Show some concerns, do what is possible and continue educating other Muslims.

for more news, click here http://palestinkini.info/

*Tindakan ini berlaku seminggu setelah tindakan bumi hangus yang dilakukan Israel di Semenanjung Gaza dan mengakibatkan lebih dari 130 Palestin syahid dan 350 lainnya tercedera. *

now let's start.

Sang Elektron - Komik Pendekar Laut

a few friends have expressed some unnecessary concerns on recent Opposition's victories in the last General Election

although they got what they wanted(Opp to win), now they are worried with the number of seats that DAP have won. I find it quite immature at times, especially from those who did not even register to vote.

The triumphant DAP with 18 seats in Perak have agreed to appoint a PAS member as the new Menteri Besar. This is yet to be confirmed though. The Malays should not be worried their special rights will be taken away, they won't. This is granted in the Constitution. Vice-versa, the DAP will ensure their shares are guaranteed. That shows that the Opposition can work together, with one DAP leader was saying that there are more things in common, rather than differences.

Non-Malays on the hand, should not have doubts that newly formed PAS-led government in Kedah will fail. Ustaz Azizan the new Menteri Besar is a graduate of Al-Azhar University who holds a Master's degree in Philosophy of Law from Kent University. Any Muslim leader, regardless of race, must be able to be fair to Muslims and Non Muslims. This does not apply only to Malays, no matter what religion and race you are, if you are incompetent, you will be rejected, as shown by Malaysians this time around. Off the top of my head, Penang is the best example.

Now onwards, reading the Star and Utusan gives me more pleasure as compared to before. =)

POST ELECTION

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

I said it before and I will say it again. We shall accept whatever the results may come. There you go.......

Sunday March 9th, is a new beginning of a 'new' Malaysia. Malaysians have spoken, 5 states have fallen into Opposition's hands, and Barisan Nasional retained the Federal Government by simple majority. Shocking isn't it?

If 5 states are now governed by Barisan Alternatif, Barisan Nasional will now be the new Opposition.
- Selangor is by far the most shocking story today.
- also a clean sweep in all Parliamentary seats in KL
- Perak? absolutely clueless..

Analysis will be provided in other websites. I will write mine when I have free time.

12th General Election Part 7(Bahagian akhir)

assalamualaikum

dengan nama Allah yang Maha Pemurah Lagi Maha Mengasihani.

insyaAllah, Malaysians will cast their votes in not less than 2 days. This is my last General Election entry, which coincides with my 100th post here. I have done my part, mainly to express my concerns and discontent on the future of Malaysia.

AGAIN, I AM A NEUTRAL. NEUTRAL,NEUTRAL AND NEUTRAL



After doing some homework, now I understand the reasons why Anwar is getting attacks from all angles in BN-pro media. If you have blind loyalty, especially pro-government supporters, you will choose to close your eyes. You will just not listen what the other side has to say, and everything the Government says to you is ' correct,correct,correct' and everything is wrong for the oppsition. This is not 'Ulul-Albab' as promoted by Pak Lah. In Ulul Albab, we have to think and analyse, listen to both sides, find out who is right or wrong and only then you decide. Correct me if I'm wrong, this is purely my observation. 1st pic is DAP and PKR's ceramah at Penang, and it's a full house with estimated more than 10k people. 2nd pic is another mega-ceramah in Penang by DAP. FULL HOUSE ceramah oo..



I won't write long this time. Time is almost over. A reminder, this is not a matter of life or death. Whatever our political differences are, we shall remain united as Malaysians. Whatever is decided tomorrow, if it's through a clean and fair process, we should accept it with open arms. Now with rumours of phantom voters are back, especially the Opposition supporters, this is what PAS's leader has to say " KOTA BHARU, 6 Mac (Hrkh) - PAS tidak dapat menghalang rakyat menggunakan kuasa tangkapan orang awam (citizen arrest) ke atas 'pengundi hantu', kata Naib Presidennya, Datuk Husam Musa."Kalau ada orang awam buat tangkapan, saya tak boleh tahan ... pendekatan kita ialah solat hajat dan doa,"

I can't also help to be influenced by Quotes this time around. The most outstanding will have to be by Chegubard - PERJUANGAN ADALAH PERLAKSANAAN KATA-KATA. caya lah...

Another reminder, we as Muslims are advised to pick the right ones. Don't turn your back on Opposition just because your dad is a UMNO supporter or you are a member of Kelab UMNO. and vice-versa, if you know what i mean.

Peringatan daripada Al-Quran,

“Ketika mereka yang menjadi ikutan itu berlepas diri daripada mereka yang mengikutnya (para pengikut), dan mereka semua melihat azab (keperitannya), dan terputuslah segala hubungan di antara mereka. Dan (pada masa yang mengecewakan itu) berkatalah mereka yang menjadi pengikut: seandainya kami mempunyai ulangan (peluang kembali ke dunia) maka kami akan berlepas diri daripada mereka seperti mana mereka berlepas diri daripada kami (pada saat ini)! Demikianlah Allah perlihatkan kepada mereka amalan-amalan mereka menjadi penyesalan kepada mereka, dan mereka pula tidak akan dapat keluar dari neraka. (surah al-Baqarah: 166-167).

this is my last entry before the election. I believe I have done my part. Any mistakes need to be corrected, let me know. Saya manusia biasa sahaja.

assalamualaikum.
p/s : this is my 100th entry here, so thanks for all your support, your constructive comments and thanks for visiting. =)

General Election Part 6

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

read below, read it twice

PUTRAJAYA: The Election Commission has cancelled the use of indelible ink in polling this Saturday, citing public order and security reasons.

Its chairman Tan Sri Abdul Rashid Abdul Rahman said following a meeting held Tuesday, the EC was obliged to make a firm and final decision to ensure the smooth conduct of the 12th general election.

Honestly(I truly mean it), I don't really care if the Opposition loses this Saturday. I will also not complain if Barisan wins 100%. I am no politician, I'm a neutral and I'm speaking as a neutral on Malaysian politics. Should BN win, let them win in a fair way.

What has EC done again this time? Have they not done enough to portray bad image of Malaysia at the international level? Has Zam Maidin not done enough to embarrass himself as the Information Minister? Is EC not shameful of their action as exposed by al-Jazeera?



video does not lie this time. This is disgusting EC. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. 8 voters sharing the same address, 7 malays and 1 chinese from the same house?

If the Opposition were to be rejected by the rakyat this Saturday, let the Rakyat decide this Saturday. Not by this way please. Please. I love Malaysia, I really do.

Tan Sri Rashid - semoga Allah membalas tindakan anda yang 'adil' begini.

Short break from Election Mood

assalamualaikum.

I'm so thankful that Aucklanders are back in Auckland now. Football sessions won't be dull anymore, lots of activities to enjoy and student life resumes back. Many have come back, honestly I have no idea why some missed Malaysia so much that they have not come back yet. These people were given 4 months for summer holiday, and not enough you say?


The only thing that gave me the greatest feeling of satisfaction yesterday was attending the talk by Tariq Ramadhan. Man, he's awesome. The way he talks, the way he expresses his ideas, the way he thinks is just impressive. More impressively, the non-Muslims who attended were so keen in listening, they jotted down everything he says. One of the issues raised was to be more Islamic does not mean you have to Arab-ise yourselves. Not everything in Arab cultures is Islamic he says. He could not be more right, could he?


The eldest in my family, Auzani has revived his blog back. He is more vocal and more outspoken than I am, reads more, thus has more insight on some issues. That's why he is the eldest. Otherwise you won't hear 'the older the wiser' right. In one of the recent posts by him, there's a video - a shocking confession by Dr Mahathir on the sacking of former deputy prime minister, Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim(DSAI). He(Dr M) admits he abused the power during his tenure. Shocking, isn't it? Tun has admitted DSAI was not guilty, so please be open minded in the future before throwing out anything on any individual.

Auzani's - Nothing succeeds the appearance of success can be visited here.

PICTURE OF THE DAY


Is this a sign that non-Muslims are now rejecting UMNO? Malaysians will decide. 7 more days from now..This picture may be not significant, it's not impossible to say it's a one off occasion. but who knows right? At this stage, I am still trying to stay away from saying too much. I'm not anti Barisan Nasional, nor an opposition supporter. My genes are behind all my actions. =)..

I am also grateful to be given the name Azri - meaning 'kekuatanku/penyokongku'. Alhamdulillah..bersyukur kepada Tuhan, and terima kasih kepada emak dan ayah.

will be back

I find Tun Mahathir's comments quite cynical at times. If he really means it, I don't know. This is taken from Rocky Bru's page, an interview with Tun Mahathir(only a fraction is posted here). For a full interview, visit his website(link is provided in the academic bar).

Which achievements would you take issue with?

.

Islam Hadhari has caused a lot of confusion. There is only one Islam and now they are told that they are followers of Islam Hadhari or modern Islam as if it is a new religion. With regards to the new development corridors, they are just announcements. Nothing has happened on the ground. The amount of money involved is fantastic. It goes into trillions of ringgit and it will happen over a period of maybe 10 to 20 years. So, these are promises. Anybody can make a promise.

I did not change a single word from above. =)

below are videos of Dr Asri's Khutbah Amanat Pilihanraya.







Some Quotable Quotes

*hendaklah pemimpin itu orang yg bersolat*
*pilihanraya bukanlah sekadar memangkah di kertas undi*

spend some time watching these videos. Untuk kita Muslim, setiap undi yang kita buat adalah amanah. Untuk yg risau tentang unsur politik dalam video2 ni, Dr Asri bukanlah seorang ahli politik. Tiada unsur2 yg memihak mana2 parti politik, yg disebut hanyalah panduan memilih pemimpin.

Kepada yg begitu fanatik terhadap parti2 yg disokong saudara/saudari, bila kita didatangkan berita samada contohnya Utusan Melayu atau harakahdaily sekali pun, hendaklah diadili berita seelok-eloknye. Bertahun-tahun kita tahu Utusan melaporkan berita yang memihak Barisan Nasional sahaja, dan HarakahDaily pulak hanya berita PAS.

Dalam peringatan daripada Al-Quran,

Al-Hujurat, Ayat 6. Hai orang-orang yang beriman, jika datang kepadamu orang fasik membawa suatu berita, maka periksalah dengan teliti agar kamu tidak menimpakan suatu musibah kepada suatu kaum tanpa mengetahui keadaannya yang menyebabkan kamu menyesal atas perbuatanmu itu.

adili keputusan anda seadil-adilnya. Kesilapan sekarang hanya boleh diubah 5 tahun kemudian. Undi anda adalah rahsia, yang lagi penting undi anda adalah Amanah yang harus ditunaikan dengan cara yg betul.

General Election 12th Part 2

assalamualaikum
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

Looking back at the news few days back, BN or UMNO specifically mentioned they will male Kelantan "Tamadun Islam'', together with so many Islamic programmes included in the plans. If anything, the non-Muslims should be more afraid of UMNO than PAS. Why? UMNO is trying to project themselves as the champions when it comes to religous matters/

Two questions here :
- Why Kelantan? Is UMNO trying to say they are less Islamic in other states?
- Are the non-Muslims ready for a more 'extreme' Islam here?

Look. Islam is Islam, as what the Prophet Muhammad, the messenger has taught us. He has taught us to be moderate in all matters.

Now read gain those questions. No answer is a wrong answer here. I would think this is nothing more than a gimmick to win the hearts of Malay voters. The impression that I get here is UMNO is trying to become more Islamic now. If non-Malays are truly scared of Islam, they should cast their votes to PAS, because UMNO is now more Islamic than PAS. Makes sense, right?

It's weird. People are willing to go extreme for power, money and women.

That's my humble opinion. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I have added some new links at the academic bar. Links from both the opposition and BN are available now.

In ideal world, I would state my preferred side here. ain't gonna happen.......

till next time

while waiting for Rafi to pick me up, let me just write a little bit. People get restless whenever I stop writing.lol!!..absolutely rubbish!!

24th March, tomorrow, is the nomination day for the next General Election of Malaysia. Except for certain places, we already know who will be contesting for most of the DUN and Parliamentary seats. It's no secret I am a big fan a of Malaysian politics, since 15 perhaps. I have lots to say with regards to the next election, so do come and visit my page regularly for my views. You do not have to if you are not keen on politics, it's only my view(s) after all. I'm not a one-sided person, my insight is always based on 2 sides of a coin with the support by facts.

One reason - election comes in every 5 years. Only 5 years from now will tell us if we have done any mistake.

To those who thought I rejoiced every moment after 2-0 win of Liverpool, you were wrong. I have always mentioned all my life that Inter Milan is the team that I support in Serie A. I was delighted for Liverpool, and felt totally the opposite way for Inter. Do not liken me to any Chelsea fans, whom recently acknowledged the whole world they are the most fanatic fans in the world. That's rubbish. Prior to Abramovich, Chelsea was a wonderful side to watch, but without those 600 million pounds, they won't be where they are now.

Please do not get me wrong, due to Akta Universiti dan Kolej Universiti, I have no political inclination towards any side. Should you find anything that I write inappropriate, please let me know. Below, is what I intent to share. Impressive, isn't it?

Isu Fiqh Perubatan Kontemporari

as an example,

Apakah diizinkan dalam Islam untuk menderma darah kepada non-Muslim?
Berkenaan dengan soalan anda, kita perlu jelas bahawa Islam membawa seluruh kebaikan dan kebajikan kepada umat manusia. Muslim diperintahkan untuk menjaga hubungan baik dan bermurah hati kepada semua manusia. Oleh itu, seorang Muslim dibenarkan untuk menderma darah kepada non-Muslim.

Berkenaan dengan soalan anda, kita perlu jelas bahawa Islam membawa seluruh kebaikan dan kebajikan kepada umat manusia. Muslim diperintahkan untuk menjaga hubungan baik dan bermurah hati kepada semua manusia. Oleh itu, seorang Muslim dibenarkan untuk menderma darah kepada non-Muslim.

Dalam responnya kepada soalan ini, Dr. Muzammil Siddiqi, Presiden Islamic Society of North America menyatakan;

Transfusi darah untuk tujuan perubatan diizinkan dalam Islam. Adalah dibenarkan untuk menerima darah dari non-Muslim dan dibenarkan juga memberi darah kepada non-Muslim. Hal-hal sebegini berkaitan dengan nyawa manusia.

Alasan yang diberi bahawa Islam mendidik kita untuk memberi makan kepada yang lapar, menjaga yang sakit dan menyelamatkan nyawa manusia. Dalam hal ini, tiada bezanya di antara nyawa seorang Muslim dan bukan Muslim.

Happy Chinese New Year

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful


to start with, I wish all my Chinese friends Happy Chinese New Year. Sorry no cards sent this year, partly because I'm here(NZ) and financially broke.Save me some Ang Pau la kawan!! Looking back at my life, I have always been blessed with many good Chinese friends. I lived in with 8 other students at KDU, 2 of them were Chinese. In IMU, Gabby was my housemate for 2.5 years, together with Khairi. Of course some of them are Liverpool fans, making friendship even sweeter. Gab is a fan of MU and our lepak-ing sessions at mamak never a quiet one. Hehe, miss that la macha.


Coming from Asia background, we hold Eastern values a lot in our lives. In NZ, few months ago, an article was published stating Kiwis have the most number of partners compared to other countries. On average, a Kiwi man has been with 20 women and vice versa. A Kiwi woman also is free to abort their pregnancy if they wish to. FREE OF CHARGE! To anyone who thinks Malaysia is not the best place for education/raising kids/career, think again. I do not judge any individual's wish not to return to Malaysia, but don't bad mouth our beloved country. Yes yes, lots of money overseas, so what?

Talking about slander(fitnah), this is really bad.

KUALA LUMPUR: Segelintir penuntut senior Malaysia di New Zealand didakwa nekad mengenakan syarat ‘pelik’ termasuk mengarahkan pelajar junior menghisap ganja bagi mendapatkan pengiktirafan dan perlindungan sepanjang menuntut di universiti tertentu di negara itu

This is taken from Harian Metro, courtesy of Syukri. The motive, only God knows. Why would anyone do this, especially ones you call 'smart/excellent students'. Bollocks(ala2 Steven Gerrard sket).



Now a video by the man I truly respect. I shall write about him some time in the future. He talks in a mix of normal BM plus Kelantanese dialect on SMOKING.Btw, he commented this in the Star previously months ago. Hopefully what he says turns into reality as it's almost impossible practically. This man is truly brilliant.

KOTA BARU: Mentri Besar Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat is stepping up the anti-smoking rhetoric, describing smokers as "similar to certain animals which have no brains to think rationally."

He said that although smokers knew the habit was bad for health, they continued to allow themselves to be addicted, “so they do not use their brains.”

“People who do not want to think are like animals,” he said when launching an anti-smoking campaign at KB Mall.

Nik Aziz, a non-smoker, reminded that alcohol consumption and gambling were not allowed in Islam as it could corrupt those involved.

Similarly, he said smoking was discouraged as it could corrupt smokers to not think of their health.

The PAS spiritual adviser had in the past suggested that smokers should not be fielded as PAS candidates in the next general election.

Let's face it, smoking is harmful.

Have to stop now.
Till next time

petikan dpd artikel Islam menentang politik Assabiyah di Utusan Malaysia. utk artikel penuh, klik di sini

Sebab itulah dalam menjelaskan maksud asabiah, Rasulullah s.a.w. pernah ditanya oleh Wathilah bin al-Asqa’: Wahai Rasulullah! Apakah kecintaan kami kepada kaum itu dikatakan al-asabiah? Sabda baginda: Tidak, sebaliknya asabiah itu ialah apabila kamu menolong kaummu atas kezaliman (hadis Hasan riwayat Abu Dawud).

Hadis ini seiring dengan prinsip al-Quran yang menjelaskan: Wahai orang-orang yang beriman, hendaklah kamu semua sentiasa menjadi orang-orang yang menegakkan keadilan kerana Allah, lagi menerangkan kebenaran dan jangan sekali-kali kebencian kamu terhadap sesuatu kaum itu mendorong kamu kepada tidak melakukan keadilan. Berlaku adillah (kepada sesiapa jua) kerana sikap adil itu lebih hampir kepada takwa (al-Maidah:8).

Penentangan Islam terhadap sikap asabiah yang membela atau menyokong kaum secara membuta-tuli turut dijelaskan dalam sebuah hadis Nabi s.a.w.: Sesiapa keluar daripada ketaatan (terhadap pemerintah) dan memisahkan diri daripada al-jamaah (kesepakatan kaum Muslimin) lalu dia mati, maka dia mati jahiliah. Sesiapa yang berperang di bawah bendera kebutaan dan menyeru kepada asabiah atau marah kerana asabiah maka kematiannya adalah jahiliah (R. Muslim).

cape reinga

I can't believe weekend is already over. As mentioned, Waiuku was over last friday and the plan was to head to Cape Reinga for a 3 day trip. Everything was going well till I was told Chip could not make it and unfortunately, I fell sick too on Friday. Friday was a sleeping day. Saturday I felt better, and the was night was occupied with Monopoly, where I came out as a loser. Big time.

Lots of speculation raised lately on the al-ahkam issue. Things are still blurry to me, however, on a positive note, Al-ahkam is back! To analyse the issues, you need to listen to and interrogate all parties, which is not my job. Normally, I will just give a ring to my dad and ask. This time, I will just leave the issue as it is. Lupakan yang keruh....as for your pleasure reading, have a look at this ; Al-ahkam now has replied to Tehrani's claim. To refresh,, the note below was taken from tehrani's

Benar, hampir kurbannya ialah Ismail tetapi lupakah kita kurban yang lebih tragis ialah Husin? Ismail diganti dengan qibas, Husin tidak diganti. Aidil Adha apa yang kau rai?

If rude is not the right word to describe it, then what is?

In any situation that hits us hard, we always have to think of 2 possibilities. It's always a 50-50 situation, 1st goes to not trying hard enough to win or 2nd the opponents were better than us. Indeed, if I talked about Muslim issues here, people would get the impression that Islam is a very troublesome religion. I have always believed that no opponent(religion) is better than Islam, thus I opt for the 1st reason that causes non-stop confusions towards Islam. Many reasons lead us to that, and we have only ourselves to blame.

Daripada Abu Hurairah r.a. berkata: Bersabda Rasulullah saw, "Islam mula tersebar dalam keadaan dagang (asing). Dan ia akan kembali asing pula. Maka beruntunglah orang orang yang asing". H.R. Muslim

It's time to stand on our feet again. The time has come. This is not the time criticising Siti Nurhaliza for not wearing tudung(headscarf) properly, instead, we thank her for initiating more women to put on tudung. We close our eyes on obvious maksiat, Siti's little fault on the tudung is we are worried about. This concept is wrong. Stop criticising, start initiating. Initiating is the correct word, not inventing(bidaah).

Daripada Abi Nijih 'Irbadh bin Sariyah r.a. berkata, "Telah menasihati kami oleh Rasulullah saw. akan satu nasihat yang menggetarkan hati kami dan menitiskan air mata kami ketika mendengarnya, lalu kami berkata, Ya Rasulullah! Seolah-olah ini adalah nasihat yang terakhir sekali maka berilah pesanan kepada kami." Lalu baginda pun bersabda, "Aku berwasiat akan kamu supaya sentiasa bertakwa kepada Allah dan mendengar serta taat (kepada pemimpin) sekalipun yang meminpin kamu itu hanya seorang hamba. Sesungguhnya sesiapa yang panjang umurnya daripada kamu pasti ia akan melihat perselisihan yang banyak. Maka hendaklah kamu berpegang teguh dengan sunnahku dan sunnah para khulafa Ar Rasyidin Al Mahdiyin (Khalifah-khalifah yang mengetahui kebenaran dan mendapat pimpinan ke jalan yang benar) dan gigitlah sunah-sunah itu dengan gigi geraham dan jauhilah perkara-perkara yang baru (bid'ah) yang diada-adakan, kerana sesungguhnya tiap-tiap bid'ah itu adalah sesat." H.R. Abu Daud dan Tirmiz

Does anyone know what has happened to al-ahkam.net? I've had very little internet connection in the past 2 weeks. The current al-ahkam does not look like the old al-ahkam anymore. any explanation anyone? This is what I found from al-fiqrah, one of the links provided in Pro-tajdid websites. I hope this thing will be sorted out very soon, as hundreds of thousands of fans are anxiously worried with regards to this matter.


I am moving into the 3rd week in Waiuku. At this stage, I feel more comfortable now in dealing with people. Also, I am grateful to Allah that these people here understand the need for me to perform prayer 5 times a day. They provide me a room for this matter, and nothing more I could ask from them. Having been at Malaysia for 20 odd years now, I have never felt more peaceful in my life, after 2 weeks in Waiuku. I mean it. You know the feeling one following you everytime you walk on the streets of KL. I was 'pow-ed'(kene pau) by one of drug addicts(at least I think he was) at PWTC, but here I feel relatively safer. But hey, crimes are everywhere, why should I make New Zealand sound better than our beloved Malaysia?


While at Waiuku, this book has been nothing but good company. Here, Gerrard tells you from A-Z of his life, from an 8 year old Huyton boy to what he is now. You have only to be proud of his achievements, only EPL trophy now is short to complete the collection in the trophy cabinet. Only few players have achieved what he has in his 27 years life. FA Cup, League Cup, Charity Shield(if it's counted), UEFA Cup and European Super Cup. He also captained to the final of World Club Cup, only to be beaten by Sao Paolo(kalau tak silap), who managed to take the only chance they created in that game. He scored a hattrick in Jamie Carragher's 500th match for Liverpool. From my impaired memory, only Man Utd players stand as tall as Gerrard at the present. No disrespect to Chelsea and Arsenal fans, you are nowhere near to all these achievements.

Next, a repetition of an issue I aired few months back. I wonder, after so many months of complaining, many still link their pages to Faisal Tehrani. Get your facts right, I have never said he's a Syiah, but it's crystal clear that he's influenced by the ideology and now influencing the others. All the Sunnis love Rasulullah and his family, however, one of many things that separates us from Syiah is the latter apostasies the Sahabahs(para Sahabat). Spare a minute and watch this video here and watch closely what these Shiites(Syiah) do on Hari Asyura.

and now for futsal fans, have fun watcing this. We Malaysians love futsal and football, and to be the best, you have to learn from the best.



chow for now,
will be back in Auckland again by next weekend.

dengan nama Allah Yang Maha Pemurah lagi Maha Mengasihani

to anyone who might wonder where have I been up to, I'm back at Auckland now. came back on Jan 4th, now it has been a week since then. It's summer now, and I'm at Waiuku currently, for rural GP attachment. Waiuku is a typical countryside place, with a population of 7000. Ironic, I was raised in KL, I thought I will go mad when I was given this news(going to Waiuku). As it has turned out, Waiuku is a wonderful place, and I have no regret to be there. The whole attachment is for 3 weeks, and I now have 2 more weeks left there. all the best for me...

If I am given a power to dictate any transfer dealings for Liverpool now, I would not hesitate to sell off Dirk Kuyt and Voronin. Kuyt's workrate can never be questionable, but we need goals from strikers. As for Voronin, he's a good player. To rate him with strikers like Tevez, that would be one of the biggest mistakes. I want to bring back Owen to Anfield, and I dont care if he's a similar player to Torres. Personally I dont think Liverpool have played badly lately, but the inability to kill off games is the most frustrating part in the Reds.

Having been to Waiuku also makes me a little bit outdated of the latest news in Malaysia. When I read the online newspapers in the past 2 days, I find Malaysia is getting more Westernized. Killing off people in the lift, kids made ransom and thousands more examples are happening on daily basis. Are we transforming to a country like the US? I dont mean it in a healthy way. Malaysia is far away from becoming US, Malaysia is a peaceful country, and if corruption is not part of the practice, the police would have done a better job in curbing these social illness.Nobody wants to see a Nurul Jazlin-type of case happening again.
