Bartenders whip up a storm at contest

Third placed: Erik whipping up his Belveryna and Eredevleb Framboise Tea Martini cocktails.

THEY shook, stirred and dazzled the crowd as they whipped up two cocktails – a martini and a long drink – within a few minutes at the Belvedere Bartender Competition.

The competition hosted by Belvedere Vodka at Frangipani bar offered an opportunity to celebrate the skill, creativity and artistry of Malaysia’s bartenders as well as Belvedere Vodka’s belief in the art of mixing the perfect cocktail.

Ten bartenders from various five-star hotels and night outlets competed for the title of Belvedere Bartender of the Year 2007 (Malaysia).

The winner will participate in the Regional Bartender Event in Hong Kong with an opportunity to go on to the Belvedere International Bartender Competition in London.

“Each cocktail must feature one of the three types of Belvedere Vodka – Belvedere Pure, Belvedere Cytrus or Belvedere Pomarancza,” said Riche Monde Malaysia Belvedere Vodka brand manager Jeff Chong, whose company distributes the brand in Malaysia.

“Judging will be based on taste, outlook (bartender’s presentation), presentation of drink, aroma and the name of the cocktail.”

Test of skill and creativity: Adzhar straining his cocktail mixture before pouring it into a martini glass.

The panel of judges comprised Moet Hennessy Spirits marketing manager Andrew Khan, Belvedere Vodka regional brand ambassador Sam Jeveons and Klue magazine managing director John Lim.

“We’re also hosting a cocktail party, which will offer guests and Belvedere lovers the chance to have fun and enjoy some drinks,” Chong said.

Riche Monde Malaysia’s corporate clients, media members and celebrities like Marion Caunter, Wong Sze Zen, Stephanie Chai and Will Quah attended the invitation-only event.

Daphne Iking hosted the event while Camelia entertained guests with a few songs.

“Belvedere literally means 'beautiful to see.' A fitting name for such an alluring vodka,” Iking said during the opening of the event.

Delectable: Alvey sampling Adzhar’s Smooth while Iking looks on.

“The moniker is in fact inspired by the historical Belvedere Palace in Warsaw, former home to Polish royalties and presidents. Continuing a Polish tradition reaching back 600 years, Belvedere Vodka is handcrafted in small batches using centuries-old techniques to ensure the highest quality, “ she said.

Mohd Adzhar Ahmad, who has been bartending at Qba in The Westin Kuala Lumpur for two years, was declared the competition’s winner with his long drink named Pomarancza Ozie and martini called Smooth.

Fellow Qba bartender Rizal Junior Johari won second place with his Capito long drink and June’s martini.

Mohd Erik Fiza Zulkifle from The Loft KL was third with his Belveryna and Eredevleb Framboise Tea Martini cocktails.

Vodka fan James Coathup tried Erik’s Belveryna and described it as “fresh, fruity and delicious”.

“This drink is something I’d actually buy. I usually go for drinks like vodka cranberry and vodka lime soda when I’m out for drinks with friends,” the Australian said.

Channel [V] VJ Alvin Pulga, better known as Alvey sampled Adzhar’s Smooth and declared that its smooth taste lived up to its name.

"Sepasang pengantin yang baru berkahwin 4 bulan. pada suatu malam si
isteri memeluk leher suami dengan nada manja seraya berkata, " ayang,
period i dah lewat sebulan, tapi i tak boleh nak pastikan lagi sebab kita
kena gi check kat doktor."

Si suami yang teramat gembira tu pun berpakat dengan isterinya untuk
tidak memberitahu sesiapa pun tentang perkhabaran gumbira ini sehingga
ianya benar2 pasti.

Pada suatu hari, pasangan ini di datangi oleh pegawai dari TNB
kerana terdapat tunggakkan dalam pembayaran bil elektrik rumah mereka.
Pegawai TNB tu pun berkata " ini rumah En. Mahpus ker?" "iya, saya ni
isterinya ada apa encik"

Pegawai TNB tu pun berkata, " Puan, ni dah sebulan lewat, saya dah
tak boleh tunggu ni, nanti boss saya marah."

Dengan nada terkejut, si isteri itu pun membalas balik cakap pegawai
TNB tu." APA??? Macam mana pulak encik tahu yg saya ni sebulan lewat???"

Pegawai TNB tu pun dengan selamba menjawab " ala puan, ni kan zaman
IT, semua tu ada dalam komputer dan kita boleh check Online"

Kata-kata pegawai TNB tu membuatkan si isteri tu lagi terkejut.
"APAAA????Saya lewat sebulan pun awak semua boleh tahuuu??? "

Pegawai TNB tu pun mententeramkan keadaan" Relek puan, puan ni baru
lewat sebulan, ada yg lagi teruk, lewat 5-6 bulan"

Si isteri yg terperanjat beruk dengan kenyataan pegawai tu pun
berkata, nanti saya bincang dengan suami saya..lalu pegawai TNB tu pun
beredar dari situ..

Keesokan harinya, selepas si Mahphus ini di beritahu oleh isterinya,
dia pun naik berang dan terus ambik cuti dan pergi ke kedai TNB yg
berdekatan..

Dengan tanpa menghiraukan pegawai-pegawai TNB yg ramai di situ, dia
pun memekik seraya berkata "Apa korang ni, isteri saya sebulan lewat pun
nak heboh2 ke dalam internet. awak ni semua yg berkeluarga tak pernah
lewat sebulan kerrrr????!! bisness apa korang buat niii?? nak kena saman
kerr???

Lalu pegawai yg datang kerumah si Mahphus ni berdiri dan
mententeramkan keadaan. "sabar encik, sabar encik. apa susah, kalau cik nak settlekan perkara ni, bayar je..." kata-kata pegawai TNB tu membuatkan Si Mahphus naik berang.

"APAAA?? nak bayar korang? belahhhh lahh...."

Lalu pegawai TNB tu pun cakap " kalau macam tu, Kita terpaksa potong
encik punya..........."

Si Mahpus mencelah " apa??? potong??? abih tu aku nak pakai
apaaaaaa???

Pegawai TNB tu pun cakap " nampak gayanye..ENCIK KENA PAKAI LILIN AJERRRLAAAAAAAA"

kadar kenaikan harga minyak di Malaysia sejak 15 tahun

2007-09-11T17:23:00.004+08:00

Berikut disenaraikan kadar kenaikan harga minyak di Malaysia sejak 15 tahun yang lalu,(Figures ini diforwardkan oleh seorang sahabat)sebagai renungan.

sebelum 90 - RM 0.89

tahun 1990 - RM 1.10 (kenaikan RM 0.21)

01/10/2000 - RM 1.20 (kenaikan RM 0.10)

20/10/2001 - RM 1.30 (kenaikan RM 0.10)

01/05/2002 - RM 1.32 (kenaikan RM 0.02)

31/10/2002 - RM 1.33 (kenaikan RM 0.01)

01/03/2003 - RM 1.35 (kenaikan RM 0.02)

01/05/2004 - RM 1.37 (kenaikan RM 0.02)

01/10/2004 - RM 1.42 (kenaikan RM 0.05)

05/05/2005 - RM 1.52 (kenaikan RM 0.10)

31/07/2005 - RM 1.62 (kenaikan RM 0.10)

28/02/2006 - RM 1.92 (kenaikan RM 0.30)

Nota : (ayat2 standard sebab2 kenaikan)

1. Kenaikan minyak masih rendah berbanding mana2 pun negara ASEAN. ( kenapa tidak membandingkan taraf hidup dan pendapatan per kapita rakyat negara tersebut disenaraikan sekali ?? )

2. Kerajaan akan pastikan kenaikan tidak membebankan. ( Apa pula kata rakyat? Adakah kenaikkan ini tidak membebankan golongan berpendapatan rendah dan sederhana - bergaji RM500 - RM1,500 dengan mempunyai 5-6 orang anak yang masih bersekolah. Dah tentu harga barangan lain turut naik sekali)

3. Kerajaan tidak mampu lagi menampung subsidi. ( Adakah rakyat pula kena menanggung apa yang kerajaan tak mampu tanggung?? )

4. Pejabat Perdana Menteri (kenape dari Pejabat PM pula kali ni, kenape bukan dari Datuk Shafie Apdal sendiri???) juga berkata penjimatan kewangan yang dibuat melalui kenaikan harga barangan petroleum kali ini akan digunakan untuk membiayai projek-projek pembangunan (Jambatan ke Singapore) dan mempertingkatkan sistem pengangkutan awam ( repair Highway MRR2 le) demi kepentingan rakyat keseluruhannya. (Kenyataan ini dipetik dari website BERNAMA mengenai kenaikan minyak berkuatkuasa hari ini)

Tapi, tak guna berdebat2 dan komplen sebab inilah suratan yang terpaksa kita telan. Apa lagi....amalkan perbelanjaan berhemah...itulah pesanan Kerajaan yang CEMERLANG, GEMILANG & TERBILANG.

Kisah Perkahwinan Atas Dasar Cinta Sama Cinta

2007-09-11T17:23:00.003+08:00

Barangkali kisah ini boleh menjadi renungan bagi kita,terutamanya yang
ingin berumahtangga. Alkisah,seorang pemuda miskin bernama Jamil,berasal
dari Benut,Pontian.Keluarganya hanyalah keluarga sederhana,tidaklah
disebut miskin.Ayahnya sehari-hari bekerja sebagai tukang jahit di
kampungnya.

Kerana kegigihannya,Jamil berjaya melanjutkan pelajaran hingga ke UTM
walaupun dengan perbelanja an seadanya.Semasa semester 3 dikampus,Jamil
jatuh hati pada seorang gadis bernama Ayu Sofea,juga sama-sama kuliah di
fakulti yang sama.Ayu adalah putri seorang tokoh korporat ternama di
daerah Johor Bahru dan juga berdarah keturunan diraja. Walaupun secara
ekonomi,mereka jauh berbeza,namun itu tidak menghalang keduanya untuk
saling mencintai. Ayah Ayu yang mengetahui puterinya begitu mencintai
pemuda dari keturunan biasa,tak mampu mencegah gelora cinta puterinya.Maka
setelah keduanya lulus,pernikahan keduanyapun diselenggara kan dengan
meriah. Pesta besar-besaran diadakan untuk mengiringi pernikahan.Ayah
Jamil yang tak punya banyak harta,hanya dapat menyumbangkan pakaian,
langsir,sarung bantal,yang semuanya dibuat dan dijahit sendiri khas untuk
pernikahan anaknya.

Bahagiakah Ayu bersanding dengan Jamil?Ternyata kebahagiaan mereka tidak
berlangsung lama..... Tibalah saat malam pengantin.....Mereka berdua pun
memasuki peraduan dengan bahagia.Namun,ketika Jamil membuka pakaiannya dan
tinggal hanya memakai seluar dalam,maka berteriaklah Ayu dengan kuat,
sebelum akhirnya jatuh pengsan hingga tak sedarkan diri.Jamil masih dalam
kebingungan dan tidak tahu kenapa isterinya histeria dan pengsan.....
Dilihatnya seluar dalam yang dipakai.....Aduh!Jamil lupa yang seluar dalam
itu dijahit oleh ayahnya,dibuat dari kain bekas bungkus tepung
gandum.Ditengah seluar dalam itu masih terpampang jelas tulisan,"BERAT
BERSIH 25.0KG".

Sudah tentu Ayu terus pengsan melihatnya.Ayu tidak dapat membayangkan
seberapa besar isinya dengan berat sebegitu! Serius sangat membacanya.....
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Beware of direct selling company : Techligent Sdn Bhd - at Queensbay Mall

2007-09-11T17:23:00.002+08:00

Last month my friends was conned by Techligent Sdn Bhd (19 Dec'06), the incident starts at Queensbay entrance at Bayan Lepas and their office at Jalan Prai, Bayan Prai Jaya,13700 Seberang Tengah, Btwth..

They approached him for lucky draw of winning the grand prizes such as Perdana V6, Samsung flat screen tv, massage chair worth RM8000 or cash Rm4000. Before he could open the lucky draw voucher, they pursuaded him to sign an agreement and pay RM3980. They claimed that he had BIG chances to win Perdana V6. So, my friends had signed the agreement & settle with credit card. End up, after he open the voucher, it was massage chair.

He refused to accept the goods & ask for refund back immediately, but they threathen me that the agreement he signed was legal. So, he had no choice to accept and bring back their product ( massage chair, Exercise & slimming belt). , and they claimed the goods is worth RM8000.

After he came back, my friends realised that he is being cheated, so he called up the sales girl that we would like return the goods, but he was rejected. However, after negotiated, the sales gal give him one supplier contact number,

Said that maybe he would like re-purchase the goods from you. After contact with supplier, he had intent to re-purchase the massage chair with RM4000 ++. Oh..Thanks God !! Unfortunately the supplier is at outstation, and will only come back after 2 weeks. Actually this is one of their trick to entertain & delayed his complaint.

Finally my friends report the case to police & consumer department, found that actually many people is being cheated by the same company. However, the company still operate as normal, and no action legal being taken to the unectical company.

Also beware of the following mentioned companys:

Fancy- ED
Diverse
Friends Service Centre
Living Style Furniture
Techligent Sdn Bhd

They are operating the same tactics, and their targetting consumer is from Banks, Supermaket, and any financial institution. They are doing the same direct selling tactic in Penang, KL & JB as well.

Please forward to this message to yr friends. Hope you will not being cheated, and make the same mistake again.

The Second Richest Man In The World.

2007-09-11T17:23:00.000+08:00

The Second Richest Man In The World..

There was a one hour interview on CNBC with Warren
Buffet, the second
richest man who has donated $31 billion to charity.
Here are some very
interesting aspects of his life:

1) He bought his first share at age 11 and he now
regrets that he started too late!

2) He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings
from delivering newspapers.

3) He still lives in the same small 3 bedroom house

in mid-town Omaha,
which he bought after he got married 50 years ago.
He says that he has
everything he needs in that house. His house does
not have a wall or a
fence.

4) He drives his own car everywhere and does not
have a driver or
security people around him.

5) He never travels by private jet, although he owns
the world's largest
private jet company.

6) His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63
companies. He writes only
one letter each year to the CEOs of these companies,
giving them goals
for the year. He never holds meetings or calls them
on a regular basis.

7) He has given his CEO's only two rules.
Rule number 1: do not lose any of your share
holder's money.
Rule number 2: Do not forget rule number 1.

8) He does not socialize with the high society
crowd. His past time
after he gets home is to make himself some pop corn
and watch television.

9) Bill Gates, the world's richest man met him for
the first time only 5 years ago. Bill Gates did not think he had anything

in common with Warren Buffet. So he had scheduled his meeting only
for half hour. But when Gates met him, the meeting lasted for ten hours
and Bill Gates became a devotee of Warren Buffet.

10) Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor
has a computer on his desk.

11) His advice to young people: Stay away from
credit cards and invest in yourself .

petrol crisis

2007-09-11T17:09:00.002+08:00

| Think about it ......... |
| |
| This is a rather lengthy story but if the concept is applied to the |
| petroleum industry en masse, it just may work. |
| |
| A man eats two eggs each morning for breakfast. When he goes to the |
| grocery store he pays 60 cents a dozen. Since a dozen eggs won't |
| last a week he normally buys two dozens at a time. One day while |
| buying eggs he notices that the price has risen to 72 cents. The |
| next time he buys groceries, eggs are 76 cents a dozen. |
| |
| When asked to explain the price of eggs the store owner says, "The |
| price has gone up and I have to raise my price accordingly". |
| |
| This store buys 100 dozen eggs a day. He checked around for a better |
| price and all the distributors have raised their prices. |
| |
| The distributors have begun to buy from the huge egg farms. The small |
| egg farms have been driven out of business. The huge egg farms sell |
| 100,000 dozen eggs a day to distributors. With no competition, they |
| can set the price as they see fit. The distributors then have to raise |
| their prices to the grocery stores. And on and on and on. |
| |
| As the man kept buying eggs the price kept going up. He saw the big |
| egg trucks delivering 100 dozen eggs each day. Nothing changed there. |
| He checked out the huge egg farms and found they were selling 100,000 |
| dozen eggs to the distributors daily. Nothing had changed but the |
| price of eggs. |
| |
| Then week before Thanksgiving the price of eggs shot up to $1.00 a |
| dozen. Again he asked the grocery owner why and was told, "Cakes and |
| baking for the holiday". The huge egg farmers know there will be a |
| lot of baking going on and more eggs will be used. Hence, the price of |
| eggs goes up. Expect the same thing at Christmas and other times when |
| family cooking, baking, etc. happen. |
| |
| This pattern continues until the price of eggs is 2.00 a dozen. The |
| man says, " There must be something we can do about the price of |
| eggs". |
| |
| He starts talking to all the people in his town and they decide to |
| stop buying eggs. This didn't work because everyone needed eggs. |
| |
| Finally, the man suggested only buying what you need. He ate 2 eggs a |
| day. On the way home from work he would stop at the grocery and buy |
| two eggs. Everyone in town started buying 2 or 3 eggs a day. |
| |
| The grocery store owner began complaining that he had too many eggs in |
| his cooler. He told the distributor that he didn't need any eggs. |
| Maybe wouldn't need any all week. |
| |
| The distributor had eggs piling up at his warehouse. He told the huge |
| egg farms that he didn't have any room for eggs would |
| |
| not need any for at least two weeks. |
| |
| At the egg farm, the chickens just kept on laying eggs. To relieve |
| the pressure, the huge egg farm told the distributor that they could |
| buy the eggs at a lower price. |
| |
| The distributor said, " I don't have the room for the %$&^*&% eggs |
| even if they were free". The distributor told the grocery store |
| owner that he would lower the price of the eggs if the store would |
| start buying again. |
| |
| The grocery store owner said, "I don't have room for more eggs. The |
| customers are only buying 2 or 3 eggs at a time. Now if you were to |
| drop the price of eggs back down to the original price, the customers |
| would start buying by the dozen again". |
| |
| The distributors sent that proposal to the huge egg farmers but the |
| egg farmers liked the price they were getting for their eggs but, |
| those chickens just kept on laying. Finally, the egg farmers lowered |
| the price of their eggs. But only a few cents. |
| |
| The customers still bought 2 or 3 eggs at a time. They said, "when the |
| price of eggs gets down to where it was before, we will start buying |
| by the dozen." |
| |
| Slowly the price of eggs started dropping. The distributors had to |
| slash their prices to make room for the eggs coming from the egg |
| farmers. |
| |
| The egg farmers cut their prices because the distributors wouldn't buy |
| at a higher price than they were selling eggs for. Anyway, they had |
| full warehouses and wouldn't need eggs for quite a while. |
| |
| And those chickens kept on laying. |
| |
| Eventually, the egg farmers cut their prices because they were |
| throwing away eggs they couldn't sell. |
| |
| The distributors started buying again because the eggs were priced to |
| where the stores could afford to sell them at the lower price. |
| |
| And the customers starting buying by the dozen again. |
| |
| Now, transpose this analogy to the gasoline industry. |
| |
| What if everyone only bought $10.00 worth of gas each time they pulled |
| to the pump? The dealer's tanks would stay semi full all the time. |
| The dealers wouldn't have room for the gas coming from the huge tank |
| farms. The tank farms wouldn't have room for the gas coming from the |
| refining plants. And the refining plants wouldn't have room for the |
| oil being off loaded from the huge tankers coming from the oil |
| fiends. |
| |
| Just $10.00 each time you buy gas. Don't fill it up. You may have to |
| stop for gas twice a week but, the price should come |
| |
| down. |
| |
| Think about it. |
| |
| As an added note...When I buy RM10.00 worth of gas that leaves my tank |
| a little under quarter full. The way prices are jumping around, you |
| can buy gas for RM2.65 a gallon and then the next morning it can be |
| RM2.15. If you have your tank full of RM2.65 gas you don't have room |
| for the RM2.15 gas. You might not understand the economics of only |
| buying two eggs at a time but, you can't buy cheaper gas if your tank |
| is full of the high priced stuff. |
| |
| Also, don't buy anything else at the gas station; don't give them any |
| more of your hard earned money than what you spend on gas, until the |
| prices come down..." |
| |
| |
| ..................please pass this concept around....reaching out to the |
| |
| mass..the world ...the universe |

Message frm Lebanon-- Please help

2007-09-11T17:09:00.001+08:00

Let more know of these astrocities you dont see in the News!!

Dear friends and colleagues ,

You will all have to excuse me for sending this. It's pictures of the
bodies of babies killed by the Israelis in South Lebanon. They are all
burnt.I need your help. I am almost certain these pictures won't be
published in the West, although they are associated press pictures. I
need your help exposing them if you can. The problem is these are
people who were asked to leave their village , Ter Hafra , this morning
, within two hours , or else. So those who were able to flee went to the
closer UN base where they were asked to leave. I think that after the
Qana massacres in
1996 when civilians were bombed after they took shelter in UN
headquarters , the UN does not want to be responssible for the lives of
civilians.A FEW MINUTES AGO the Israelis asked the people of Al Bustan
village in the south to evacuate their homes. I am afraid massacares
will keep happening as long as Israeli actions are uncheked. Please
help us if you can This group is about American Muslims and their civic
responsibilities, it is not about religious practices but simply about
learning and creating a social and civic space for themselves in the
community of religions.

BACALAH WAHAI KRISTIAN, ISLAM, HINDU DAN BUDHA

2007-09-10T04:13:00.000+08:00

Temuramah ekslusif bersama Ustaz Tajuddin Othman Abdullah, bekas Paderi
Besar Gereja-Gereja Seluruh Sabah oleh Jamilah Aini Mohd. Rafiei.

BEKAS Paderi Besar Sabah, TAJUDDIN OTHMAN ABDULLAH, mengupas
perbandingan yang cukup ilmiah di antara agama Islam dan Kristian
berdasarkan pengkajiannya yang cukup mendalam lagi terperinci selama
menjadi Paderi Besar Kristian selama 12 tahun.

Iktibar Buat Mereka Yang Murtad AGAMA Kristian menurut kitab Injil yang
asal jika dikaji sedalam-dalamnya maka jawapan akhir yang akan ditemui
adalah ISLAM. Hakikat ini telah dibuktikan oleh ramai orang Kristian
yang akhirnya mendapat hidayah Allah dan kemudiannya memeluk agama
Islam.

Tetapi apa yag paling menakjubkan kali ini, kita berpeluang berkongsi
pengalaman hidup yang tiada tolok bandingannya bersama USTAZ TAJUDDIN
OTHMAN ABDULLAH, seorang bekas paderi besar di seluruh Sabah, yang
belajar sebahagian besar dalam hidupnya untuk menjadi paderi. Beliau
yang selama ini berada di tahap paling tinggi dan mulia sekali di Sabah
Kerana berkedudukan untuk mengampunkan segala dosa yang dilakukan oleh
orang-orang Kristian Sabah contohnya orang yang paling berpengaruh
ketika itu Pairin Kitingan. Pengalamannya sebagai Bekas Paderi di
sekitar 80-an membuatkan beliau banyak mengetahui selok belok agama
termasuk agama Islam. Setelah puas mengkaji, akhirnya Allah memberikan
hidayah kepadanya dengan memilih Islam sebagai jalan hidup. Beliau kini
bertugas di Majlis Agama Islam Melaka di bahagian Unit Kristianologi.
Bersama seterusnya dengan JAMILAH AINI MOHD. RAFIEI, turut hadir
SUZILAWATI ROZAINOR ABBAS dengan jurufoto WAN ZAHARI WAN MOHD. SALLEH
yang berdialog dengan beliau di Masjid Al-Azim (Negeri), Air Keroh,
Melaka, baru-baru ini.

SEMASA Kristian saya dikenali sebagai Paderi Thomas Laiden. Saya berasal
dari Sabah dan berketurunan Solok. Agama asal saya ialah Roman Katholik.
Saya mendapat pendidikan di Seminary Kepaderian Vantiken Itali iaitu
institusi kepaderian terulung di Itali dan dibiayai oleh Persatuan
Kristian Sabah. Saya tamatpengajian pada tahun 1985 seterusnya bertugas
sebagai paderi di Vantiken. Seterusnya saya memohon untuk kembali ke
negara asal saya iaitu Sabah.

Pada tahun 1988 saya ditukarkan ke Sabah dan berkhidmat sebagai paderi.
Saya bertugas

di Gereja St. Mary, Persatuan Gereja Roman Katholik Sabah seluruh Sabah
yang berpusat di Kota Kinabalu. Keluarga saya terlalu kuat berpegang
pada agama. Itulah sebabnya bapa menghantar saya ke Vantiken, dengan
harapan agar saya menjadi seorang paderi yang dikira jawatan yang
terlalu mulia. Saya mempunyai ramai adik beradik tetapi kesemuanya
perempuan, saya adalah anak lelaki tunggal dalam keluarga.

Semasa menjadi paderi, saya banyak membuat kajian mengenai agama
Kristian, Buddha, Hindu dan Islam. Ketika itu saya tidak tahu langsung
tentang keindahan dan kecantikan Islam dan tidak pernah terlintas di
fikiran untuk ke situ. Tambahan pula saya dibesarkan di dalam keluarga
yang kuat mengamalkan agama Kristian. Saya aktif bergiat dalam dakyah
Kristianisasi yang cenderung kepada banyak buku-buku Islam. Setelah
banyak membuat kajian, saya terfikir apabila saya dilantik menjadi
paderi, saya mendapat kesimpulan yang saya sudah mula meragui agama yang
saya anuti. Konflik Diri Yang Tidak Terbendung

Ianya ketara di sekitar 1988, apabila sebagai seorang paderi diberi
tanggungjawab yang besar iaitu untuk mengampunkan dosa manusia. Timbul
di fikiran saya bagaimana saya sebagai manusia biasa bisa mengampunkan
dosa manusia lain sedangkan para Nabi dan Rasul yang diutuskan Allah,
mereka ini tidak sanggup mengampun dosa manusia dan tidak mampu
mengampunkan dosa manusia. Saya mula serius membuat kajian mengenai
Islam.

Apabila saya diberi tanggungjawab mengampun dosa orang-orang Kristian
seluruh Sabah, jadi masa itu saya rasakan seolah-olah agama ini sengaja
direka-reka oleh manusia. Seterusnya pada tahun 1989 saya kembali ke
Vantiken untuk membuat Kursus Kepaderian di sana selama tiga tahun. Di
sana saya telah berjumpa dengan ketua paderi tertinggi seluruh dunia
iaitu Pope John Paul. Saya telah berdialog dengannya dan bertanya akan
perkara yang memusykilkan saya sepanjang saya menjadi paderi. Saya
berkata kepadanya, "Paul, saya sekarang rasa ragu dengan agama yang kita
ini". Dia terkejut dan bertanya, "Apa yang kamu ragukan?"

Saya berkata, "Cuba John Paul fikirkan sendiri, kita ini seorang manusia
biasa. Di negeri saya Sabah, di negeri saya sendiri setiap malam Ahad
saya mengampunkan dosa orang Kristian yang beratus-ratus orang yang
datang mengaku dosa.

Mereka harap saya yang mengampunkan dosa mereka sedangkan para Nabi pun
tidak pernah melakukannya. "

Beliau berkata, ?Wahai Paderi Thomas, kamu ini dilantik menjadi seorang
paderi, maka kamu ini seorang yang suci dan tidak mempunyai sebarang
dosa," Saya katakan yang saya merasakan diri saya mempunyai dosa. Beliau
seterusnya menyambung, "Memang kita manusia ini mempunyai dosa. Nabi
Adam sendiri mempunyai dosa. Apabila seseorang yang telah dilantik
menjadi paderi bermakna kamu ini telah dilantik oleh Jesus Christ. Jesus
Christ tidak ada dosa maka kita sebagai paderi ini tidak mempunyai
dosa."

Di situlah saya mula tidak percaya pada agama kristian yang mengatakan
ulamak-ulamak Kristian tidak mempunyai dosa.

Saya katakan pada Paul yang ulamak Kristian itu pembohong. Dia terkejut
lalu berkata,"Thomas, kamu telah dihantar hingga ke peringkat tertinggi
untuk menjadi paderi, kenapa kamu berkata demikian. Cuba kamu jelaskan
kenapa kamu kata agama Kristian pembohong".

Saya menyoalnya, "Jesus Christ itu Tuhan atau Nabi?" Beliau menjawab,
"Dia Tuhan." Saya bertanya kembali, ?Pernahkah orang nampak Tuhan?
Bagaimana wujudnya Tuhan? Siapa Tuhan kita sebenarnya, Jesus Christ
(Nabi Isa) atau Allah bapa? (Allah)."

Beliau mengatakan Jesus itu Tuhan.

Saya menyoal kembali, "Apa matlamat utama Jesus Christ diutus ke dunia?"

Beliau menjawab, "Untuk menebus dosa bangsa manusia, semua bangsa dan
agama."

Jadi saya katakan padanya kenapa perlu ada paderi tukang ampun dosa jika
Jesus Christ sudah menebus dosa semua manusia. Di situ dia mula pening
dan terpinga sambil berkata, "Paderi Thomas awak ini telah dimasuki
iblis sehingga berani mempertikaikan Kristian."

Saya katakan padanya, "Kita seorang paderi yang suci, bagaimana iblis
boleh masuk?"

Saya juga katakan padanya saya mempunyai ibu bapa dan adik-beradik
apabila ibu bapa saya membuat dosa mereka mengaku di hadapan anak,
kerana kedudukan saya ketika itu sebagai seorang paderi. Jadi saya
terfikir bagaimana saya seorang anak boleh mengampunkan dosa ibu bapa.
Sepatutnya seorang anak yang meminta ampun dari ibunya.

Selepas perdebatan itu Pope John Paul meninggalkan saya, sebagai seorang
paderi beliau tidak boleh marah kerana marah merupakan satu dosa. Di
dalam Kristian mempunyai tujuh rukun iaitu:-

i. Ekaristi Pembaptisan - seseorang yang ingin memeluk Kristian mereka
mesti dibaptiskan air suci.

ii. Ekaristi Pengakuan - mengaku dosa di hadapan paderi

iii. Ekaristi Maha Kudus - memakan tubuh Tuhan (Khusti kudus)

iv. Ekaristi Minyak Suci - air suci

v. Ekaristi Krisma - penerima ekaristi Maha Kudus layak menerima krisma

vi. Ekaristi Imaman - menjadi paderi

vii. Ekaristi Perkahwinan - hanya untuk penganut awam (Paderi tidak
menerima ekaristi ini)

Dalam Kristian air suci atau lebih dikenali sebagai Holy Water, adalah
paling bernilai sekali. Untuk menjadi seorang Kristian, seseorang perlu
menjalani Ekaristi Pembaptisan iaitu meminum air ini. Ia diperolehi dari
proses uzlah yang dijalani sebelum menjadi paderi. Jika tidak mempunyai
akidah yang benar-benar kuat, akidah boleh rosak disebabkan air ini.
Contohnya ialah seperti apa yang berlaku ke atas seorang doktor
perempuan Melayu di Selangor. Setelah minum, beliau langsung tidak boleh
mengucap, hatinya telah tertutup. Menurutnya beliau sudah tidak yakin
lagi dengan agama lain kecuali Kristian sahaja Kerana melalui Kristian
beliau boleh melihat Tuhan Jesus yang turun setiap malam.

Itulah permainan iblis. Sesiapa yang meminum air tersebut dapat melihat
apa sahaja. Sebaik sahaja doktor tersebut meminumnya, akhirnya beliau
memeluk Kristian. Saya pergi menemuinya, dia katakan kepada saya Islam
tidak benar, hanya Kristian agama yang benar kerana umatnya boleh
melihat Tuhan.

Apabila saya tunjukkan air itu kepadanya sambil bertanya pernahkah
beliau meminumnya. Beliau menjawab memang pernah meminumnya semasa
beliau belajar di Indonesia;

Apabila pergi ke gereja beliau akan diberi minum air tersebut. Beliau
menyatakan kepada saya beliau akan hidup dan mati dalam Kristian. Saya
membacakan kepadanya surah Al-Kahfi di samping memintanya mengamalkan
surah tersebut setiap masa. Alhamdulillah lama-kelamaan keadaannya
semakin pulih. Inilah permainan sihir sebenarnya. Tidak siapa dapat
melawan ilmu Allah, hanya ilmu Allah sahaja yang berkesan menghapuskan
permainan sihir.

Tidak lama kemudian beliau kembali mengucap dan terus menangis. Saya
katakan kepadanya saya sudah terlalu berpengalaman dengan taktik
Kristian. Itulah, cara memikat orang untuk ke agama Kristian cukup
mudah, tidak mengapa jika tidak percaya kepada agama Kristian, tetapi
apabila minum air itu segala-galanya akan berubah. Setelah saya
mempelajari Islam barulah saya tahu rupanya iblis ini boleh menyerupai
bermacam rupa. Kekuatannya hanya pegangan akidah.. Tetapi Holy Water ini
sekarang tidak boleh lagi diedarkan di Malaysia kerana orang yang
membuatnya di biara Vantiken telah memeluk Islam dan membongkar rahsia
ini. Ramai orang sudah tahu mengenai air ini dan mula berhati-hati
dengan setiap apa yang meragukan.

Rukun yang kedua pula iaitu Ekaristi Maha Kudus bermaksud memakan tubuh
Tuhan. Saya pernah berhujah dengan John Paul mengenainya. Saya katakan
padanya sedangkan Firaun yang zalim itupun tidak pernah memakan tubuh
tuhan kenapa pula kita sebagai ulamak Kristian boleh makan tubuh tuhan?.

Saya jelaskan kepadanya, apabila semua paderi memakan Khusti Kudus
(sejenis makanan yang diimport khas dari Itali) bermakna itu satu
penghinaan kerana tubuh tuhan boleh dimakan.

Kata beliau, itu memang sudah menjadi rukun Kristian dan tidak boleh
dipertikaikan lagi. Apa yang paling merbahaya ialah Holy Water. Khusti
Kudus tidak mempunyai rahsia apa-apa, ia seolah-olah seperti roti yang
dicampur dengan bahan lain. Berlainan dengan Holy Water yang kesannya
cukup kuat. Bayi-bayi yang baru dilahirkan pun dibaptiskan.

Terdapat sesetengah klinik yang membaptiskan bayi walaupun bayi tersebut
Islam.

Bagi kepercayaan Kristian setiap bayi yang baru lahir wajib dibaptiskan
kerana ia mempunyai dosa, ia menyimpan dosa pusaka yang ditinggalkan
datuk moyang mereka. Ia berlainan dengan Islam, Islam meletakkan bayi
yang baru lahir itu adalah dalam keadaan fitrah (bersih).

Di dalam semua kitab tidak ada mengenai agama Kristian. Kristian ini
baru sahaja berkembang oleh seorang Paul yang pertama di zaman Julius
kemudian beliau mengembangkannya. Asal agama Kristian ialah dari agama
Yahudi dan Nasara. Tetapi di Romawi ia dinamakan Kristianisasi. Jika
kita meneliti di dalam kitab Nabi Isa (Injil) tidak ada disebut
Kristian. Sebenarnya semua mubaligh Kristian tahu mengenai kedudukan
agama Islam.

Pernah terjadi dalam tahun '78, semasa itu saya terjumpa kitab yang
menyatakan kebenaran Nabi Muhammad. Tetapi semasa itu saya tidak begitu
memperdulikannya. Di dalam kitab tersebut ada menyebut mengenai Ahmad
iaitu Nabi Muhammad s.a.w.

Ketika itu saya masih belajar di Vantiken, oleh kerana saya kurang sihat
saya tidak dapat mengikut kelas pengajian. Saya diberi tugas oleh
seorang paderi untuk menjaga sakristi (perpustakaan yang terdapat di
gereja) untuk menjaga kitab-kitab di situ. Paderi tersebut mengatakan
kepada saya, Thomas, kamu perlu menjaga kesemua kita-kitab di sakristi
ini tetapi kamu tidak boleh membuka almari."

Beliau menunjukkan kepada saya almari yang dimaksudkan. Saya hairan
kerana beliau melarang saya membuka almari tersebut sedangkan kuncinya
diserahkan kepada saya. Sifat manusia, apabila dilarang maka itulah yang
ingin dibuatnya.

Ketika itu semangat saya terlalu berkobar-kobar untuk mengetahui isi
kandungan turunkan kepada Nabi Isa a.s.Saya mengambil kitab itu dan
menyembunyikannya. Kitab tersebut ditulis di dalam bahasa Hebron. Ia
masih saya simpan hingga ke hari ini dan saya dalam proses untuk
menterjemahkannya ke dalam bahasa Melayu. Ia menjadi rujukan kepada
saya, dan sebagai bukti untuk berdebat dengan orang-orang Kristian. Saya
telah utarakan kepada Majlis Agama Islam Melaka, jika boleh saya ingin
menterjemahkannya dan sebarkan kepada orang ramai. Pihak Majlis tidak
berani melakukannya, menurut mereka ia akan mengancam nyawa saya kerana
dengan pendedahan kitab tersebut rahsia Kristian akan tersebar. Isi
kitab tersebut sama dengan al-Quran. Rupa-rupanya barulah saya
mengetahui semasa upacara mengangkat sumpah dalam proses beruzlah pada
hari yang ke 39, setiap paderi akan meletakkan tangan mereka ke atas
kitab yang dibalut dengan kain putih yang diletakkan di atas bantal.
Tidak siapa dibenarkan membukanya dan isi kandungannya.

Berbalik kepada kisah saya mencuri kitab tersebut, selepas kehilangannya
paderi yang menyerahkan kunci kepada saya dahulu memanggil saya dan
bertanya apakah saya ada mengambilnya. Saya menafikan dengan mengatakan
tidak pernah mengambil kitab tersebut. Hati saya nekad untuk tidak
mengaku dan menyerahkannya kerana saya ingin mengkaji kitabtersebut.
Disebabkan seseorang bakal paderi tidak boleh berbohong, beliau
mempercayai pengakuan saya. Akhirnya pada keesokannya iaitu pada hari
mengangkat sumpah, disebabkan Injil tersebut telah hilang, mereka
meletakkan kitab suci al-Quran (yang dibalut dan sentiasa tersimpan di
almari) sebagai ganti kitab yang hilang. Al-Quran digunakan di dalam
upacara mengangkat sumpah? Semua paderi tidak tahu hal ini kecuali saya.
Pada masa itu saya terfikir, apa gunanya jika kita bersumpah di atas
kitab al-Quran tetapi masih tidak beriman dengannya? Bermakna semua
paderi telah bersumpah di atas al-Quran tetapi kufur selepas itu.

Menyingkap saat saya didatangkan hidayah ialah ketika saya sudah tamat
belajar dan bertugas di Gereja St. Mary, Sabah. Pada suatu malam Ahad
pada tahun 1991, saya bersembahyang dengan cara Kristian) di hadapan
tuhan-tuhan saya iaitu. Tuhan Bapa, Ibu Tuhan (Mary) dan Anak Tuhan
(Jesus Christ). Ketika itu saya terfikir di dalam hati, patung-patung
ini diukir oleh manusia, saya menyembahnya setiap hari di dalam bilik.'
Apabila saya selesai sembahyang saya meletakkannya di bawah tempat
tidur. Hati saya berkata, alangkah hinanya Tuhanku. Kenapa aku boleh
meletakkannya di bawah tempat tidur yang boleh aku baringkan dan letak
sesuka hatiku?

Turunnya hidayah

Malam itu, selesai sembahyang saya mengambil sehelai kertas dan saya
tulis diatasnya, "Tuhan, diantara agama Islam, Kristian, Hindu dan
Buddha aku telah mengetahui semua agama ini. Malam ini tolonglah
tunjukkan kepadaku manakah di antara tiga agama ini yang benar bagiku".
Setelah itu, tak tahulah saya katakan bagaimana mengantuknya mata saya
yang tak pernah-pernah saya alami rasa mengantuk yang lain macam, mata
saya langsung tidak boleh terangkat. Akhirnya saya tertidur. Pada malam
itu, pada saya mungkin bagi para Nabi boleh dianggap mimpi tetapi
menurut saya mungkin Tuhan ingin memberikan hidayah kepada saya. Di
dalam tidur, saya merasakan seolah-olah saya menaiki lif dari satu
tingkat ke tingkat lain sehingga tingkat tujuh, ketika itu mata saya
tidak boleh dibuka kerana di hadapan saya ada satu cahaya yang terang
benderang menyuluh. Saya bertanya kepada seorang yang berdiri di hadapan
saya, orangnya MasyaAllah terlalu tinggi. Jarak di antara kaki dan
kepala umpama langit dan bumi. Saya bertanya kepadanya, ?Negeri apakah
ini?"

Beliau berkata kepada saya, "Awak tidak layak masuk ke negeri ini, ini
negeri umat Nabi Muhammad s.a.w."

Saya meminta keizinannya sekali lagi untuk masuk tetapi beliau tetap
tidak membenarkan. Dari luar saya dapat lihat di dalamnya ada satu jalan
umpamanya titi yang halusnya seperti sehelai rambut. Saya tak berani
katakan ia Titian Sirat atau apa-apa kerana tidak mengetahui apa-apa
ketika itu. Saya hairan kenapa orang yang berjubah dan bertudung mereka
melintas jalan itu dengan mudah sedangkan saya langsung tidak boleh
mengangkat kaki. Penjaga itu berkata lagi, "Awak tidak boleh masuk,
tetapi awak lihatlah bagaimana keadaan mereka yang beragama Yahudi dan
Nasara (Kristian)."

Alangkah terkejutnya saya apabila melihat orang-orang Kristian yang
kepalanya dimasukkan ke dalam api umpama dijadikan kayu api. Saya
terkejut dan sedar hanya Islam agama yang benar. Akhirnya saya tersedar
seelok sahaja azan subuh dilaungkan dari masjid berhampiran. Saya bangun
dan membersihkan badan saya. Saya menuju ke kereta. Pemandu telah
bersedia membawa saya tetapi saya menolak pelawaannya dan katakan
kepadanya saya ingin pergi ke satu tempat yang orang lain tidak boleh
ikut serta. Saya memandu kereta menuju ke sebuah masjid di atas bukit.
Ketika saya tiba, mereka sedang berjamaah menunaikan fardu Subuh, saya
menanti seketika sebagai menghormati agama mereka. Setelah selesai, saya
pergi menemui imam yang bertugas ketika itu. Saya katakan kepadanya yang
saya ingin memeluk Islam hari itu juga. Beliau terkejut dan berkata
kepada saya, "Awak ini di bawah Pairin Kitingan, Ketua Menteri Sabah,
susah kami hendak Islamkan awak, tambahan pula awak paderi besar seluruh
Sabah."

Saya katakan padanya," Awak jangan bimbang sebab dosanya saya yang
ampun, hal dia tidak perlu dibincangkan. Apa yang saya mahu, hari ini
saya mahu peluk Islam."

Seterusnya imam tersebut berkata lagi, "Awak tak boleh masuk Islam
sekarang sebab awak perlu mengisi borang, tandatangan surat akuan sumpah
dahulu, baru awak boleh masuk Islam."

Dengan agak kasar saya katakan kepadanya, "Kalau beginilah caranya untuk
memeluk Islam, lebih baik orang masuk Kristian. Kalau masuk Kristian,
hari ini terus dibaptiskan dan menjadi Kristian.

Untuk masuk Islam pun perlu isi borang ke? Baiklah, jika hari ini saya
turun ke bawah dan ditakdirkan tiba-tiba saya dilanggar kereta dan mati,
maka apa akan jadi kepada saya dan siapa yang akan bertanggungjawab? "
Akhirnya imam tersebut menyuruh saya mengucap dua kalimah syahadah. Maka
pada pagi Ahad itu saya telah sah sebagai seorang Islam.

Kekuatan diri

Setelah selesai mengucap, saya kembali ke rumah saya. Ketika saya
melalui kawasan gereja, orang ramai sudah penuh menunggu saya untuk
upacara pengampunan. Mereka melambai tangan ke arah saya. Saya membalas
kembali lambaian mereka. Ketika itu seakan ada satu kekuatan dalam diri
saya. Saya keluar dari kereta dan membuat pengumuman di hadapan mereka.

Saya katakan kepada mereka, "Kamu ini jika sembahyang pun berdosa kalau
tak sembahyang lagi bagus."

Kemudian saya meninggalkan mereka yang kelihatan seperti kehairanan.
Saya meneruskan perjalanan menuju ke rumah. Di dalam rumah semua ahli
keluarga sudah bersedia menanti saya untuk ke gereja. Jubah saya sudah
siap diseterika. Saya panggil semua ahli keluarga sambil bertanya apakah
mereka sudah makan atau belum. Mereka katakan yang mereka sudah makan
kecuali Khusti Kudus sahaja yang belum dimakan. Saya katakan itu tidak
payah dimakan pun tidak mengapa kerana di kedai banyak roti untuk di
makan. Saya membuat pengumuman kepada mereka, saya berkata sambil
memandang ke arah bapa saya, "Saya hendak memberitahu kamu sesuatu
perkara. Saya belajar di Vantiken selama 12 tahun dan sudah terlalu
banyak menghabiskan wang bapa. Selama 12 tahun saya belajar, saya tahu
bahawa agama yang saya anut ini adalah agama yang salah, agama yang
betul adalah Islam."

Ketika itu saya lihat tidak ada apa-apa riak di wajah bapa dan ahli
keluarga saya, tetapi mereka semua terdiam. Saya menyambung kembali,
"Tadi saya telah memeluk Islam di masjid bandar sana dan menyuruh saya
mengucap. Bermakna hari ini saya sudah menjadi orang Islam."

Bapa saya berkata kepada saya, "Oh! kamu sudah Islam! Tidak mengapa!"

Seterusnya beliau menuju turun ke dapur. Saya ingatkan tidak ada apa-apa
ketika itu. Saya tidak sedar rupa-rupanya beliau pergi mengambil parang
panjang dan cuba menyerang saya. Saya yang kebetulan duduk di tepi
tingkap di tingkat satu terus terjun ke bawah. Saya melompat dari
tingkat atas dengan berkaki ayam. Tuhan masih mahu memanjangkan umur
saya. Saya turun dan terus meninggalkan rumah sehelai sepinggang hingga
ke hari ini. Dari segi pengamalan kedua ibu bapa saya yang memang cukup
kuat berpegang pada agama, apabila seorang anak murtad (keluar Kristian)
mereka tidak lagi mengaku anak.

Hijrah untuk Keselamatan dan Belajar

Selepas itu saya pergi ke Jabatan Agama Islam Sabah. Demi keselamatan
diri saya, salah seorang pegawai di sana menasihatkan saya agar pergi
belajar dan keluar dari Sabah. Akhirnya saya merantau ke Semenanjung dan
menyambung pengajian saya di Institut Dakwah Kelantan pada tahun 1992
dan seterusnya saya menyambung pula ke Nilam Puri sehingga tahun 1995.

Ketika itu saya adalah pelajar yang paling tua sekali. Setelah tamat
pengajian, saya menganggur sekejap. Tidak lama kemudian saya diterima
bertugas di Majlis Agama Islam Melaka hingga ke hari ini. Kemungkinan
juga selepas ini saya akan dipindahkan ke majlis Agama Islam Kelantan.

Di sini (Melaka) saya ingin menerbitkan buku mengenai kajian Kristian.
Tetapi terlalu banyak prosedur yang perlu dijalani.

Kini setelah hampir sembilan tahun saya memeluk Islam dan meninggalkan
Sabah, saya masih diugut dan dikecam. Namun saya tidak khuatir kerana
yakin Allah tetap melindungi hamba-Nya dan yakin ajal maut itu tetap
dating walaupun bersembunyi di ceruk mana sekalipun. Kini saya bahagia
setelah mendirikan rumah tangga bersama isteri yang cukup memahami jiwa
saya. Dalam usia 49 tahun, saya baru mempunyai seorang cahaya mata
berusia satu tahun setengah.

Islam tidak menyusahkan penganutnya. Jika menjadi paderi perkahwinan
tidak dibenarkan tetapi setelah Islam, baru saya tahu betapa indahnya
perkahwinan dan zuriat yang merupakan rezeki dari Allah (SWT).

Di Vantiken, orang Kristian yang keluar agama kemudian masuk ke negara
tersebut, mereka akan bunuh. Bagi mereka seseorang yang murtad dianggap
kotor dan mencemarkan maruah agama. Tetapi adakalanya saya terfikir,
jika di sana orang Kristian murtad kenapa ianya tidak terjadi di negara
yang pemerintah dan majoriti penduduknya beragama Islam. Itulah yang
susahya. Saya membuat kajian hampir empat tahun baru mendapat nikmat
Islam. Terlalu sukar saya mengecapi nikmat Islam tetapi orang di sini
yang memang lahirnya dalam Islam dengan mudah mahu membuang Islam. Di
sini saya bertanggungjawab terhadap mereka yang murtad, jika yang tidak
berpengetahuan tidak mengapa tetapi yang sedihnya yang murtad ini ialah
mereka yang mempunyai pendidikan hingga ke peringkat tertinggi dan
mempunyai pendapatan yang melebihi dari keperluan bulanan.

Pernah saya katakan kepda seorang doktor, "Doktor, suatu ketika dahulu
saya menerima gaji bulanan sebanyak RM5,000 sebulan, dilengkapi dengan
pembantu rumah, pemandu dan rumah serba lengkap. Kehidupan saya terlalu
mewah di Sabah. Tetapi doktor, kenapa saya sanggup melepaskan itu semua
semata-mata kerana Islam! Gaji doktor sekarang terlalu encukupi tetapi
mengapa perlu tinggalkan Islam?"

Saya memang cukup marah dan terkilan apabila mendengar orang yang ingin
murtad. Minta maaf jika saya katakan, mengapa terlalu bodoh sangat
sehingga sanggup menanggung dosa besar? Umat Islam dari segi ekonomi
sebenarnya terlalu mencukupi cuma cara pelaksanaannya yang agak longgar.
Kita lihat Kristian, dari segi kerjasama dan ukhuwah mereka begitu kuat.

Semasa saya menjadi paderi dahulu, apabila saya masuk ke sesebuah
kampung untuk berdakwah saya dibekalkan Beberapa ribu wang. Ini kerana
gereja di seluruh dunia bersatu padu. Meskipun dari segi politik berbeza
dan bermusuh tetapi untuk menghancurkan Islam mereka mesti bersatu.
Mereka berkata jika di negara Barat, penduduk penganut Kristian tidak
bersembahyang pun tetapi mereka tetap Kristian. Gereja di sana setiap
hari Ahad kosong kerana setiap hari Ahad diadakan acara perlawanan bola
sepak di kalangan paderi. Orang ramai pergi menyaksikan acara tersebut.
Itu yang mereka minat. Oleh sebab itu peruntukan untuk di sana sudah
tidak ada lagi.

Sebagai alternatifnya mereka akan mengalihkan peruntukan itu untuk
disalurkan ke negara Asia terutamanya ke Indonesia dan Malaysia.
Begitulah kuatnya kerjasama di antara mereka. Bagi mereka tidak perlu
berdakwah untuk orang Barat yang sudah sedia Kristian sebab untuk mereka
memeluk Islam sukar. Yang lebih penting ialah misi mengkristiankan orang
Islam.

Bagi pandangan saya, saya lihat orang Islam agak susah untuk bersatu.
Masing-masing mempunyai fikrah yang berbeza dan hidup dalam kelompok
sendiri. Kadangkala di kalangan orang Islam sendiri bergaduh. Ini
berlainan dengan orang Kristian yang amat menitikberatkan soal
kebajikan. Namun bukan semua orang Islam begitu, masih ramai di kalangan
mereka yang bijak.

Semasa saya menjadi paderi, saya memberikan tumpuan kepada orang miskin.
Pernah terjadi di Perak, saya telah menghabiskan beratus ribu untuk
mereka, mereka mengambil wang tersebut tetapi tidak memeluk Kristian.
Selepas saya Islam, saya pergi menemui mereka, senarai nama mereka masih
ada dalam simpanan saya.

Setelah saya periksa rupa-rupanya mereka ini masih Islam. Walaupun pada
awalnya mereka berjanji untuk memeluk Kristian. Alhamdulillah mereka
tidak berdendam pada saya sebaliknya mereka membelanja saya makan
setelah mengetahui saya telah memeluk Islam.

Masalah Kelemahan Pendakwah Islam

Adakalanya saya terfikir kenapa ketika Barat menjajah kita, orang Melayu
tidak murtad sedangkan pada hari ini negara yang pemerintahnya Islam
tetapi orang Melayu boleh murtad dengan begitu mudah sekali.
Kelemahan kita ialah pendakwah Islam kadang-kadang boleh kalah dengan
pendakwah Kristian.

Saya beri contoh seorang kawan saya yang pernah sama-sama belajar dengan
saya semasa di Vantiken dahulu. Beliau pernah menyatakan kepada saya,
orang Yahudi sekarang sedang memberi tumpuan kepada kajian al-Quran dan
Hadis.

Dia mengatakan pada saya; "Wahai Thomas, (dia tetap memanggil saya
dengan nama Kristian walaupun saya telah Islam), Allah ada mengatakan di
dalam salah sebuah ayatnya yang bermaksud;

Tidak akan masuk syurga melainkan orang-orang yang beragama Yahudi dan
Nasara. Sekarang kami pendakwah Kristian mahu pandai membaca al-Quran,
terjemahan dan hadis. Kami mempunyai kursus khusus mengkaji al-Quran dan
Hadis. Awak lihatlah apa yang telah dikatakan oleh Tuhan mu itu."

Saya katakan kepadanya, "Betul apa yang awak baca ini. Kami membaca
al-Quran bukan seperti apa yang awak faham. Memang benar awak membaca
ayat itu tetapi al-Quran ini jika awak tafsir separuh-separuh itu tidak
betul. Al-Quran bukan seperti Injil yang boleh ditafsir separuh-separuh.
Saya dahulu apabila belajar al-Quran mengambil masa sehingga tiga tahun
baru khatam. Saya ucapkan terima kasih pada awak kerana hanya enam bulan
awak sudah boleh membaca al-Quran." Saya katakan lagi padanya,
"Sebenarnya awak tidak tahu tafsir al-Quran. Maksud sebenar ayat
tersebut ialah "Telah berkata mereka (orang-orang Yahudi dan Nasara),
tidak akan masuk syurga melainkan orang Yahudi dan Nasara, sedangkan
semua itu hanyalah merupakan angan-angan kamu yang kosong." Itu bukan
firman Allah, kata-kata itu adalah keluar dari mulut orang-orang Yahudi
sendiri.

Paderi tersebut masih belum faham lalu bertanya, "Apakah angan-angan
kosong itu?"

Saya katakan, "Setiap hari Ahad kamu makan tuhan kamu. Apabila kau
menghadap Khudsi Kudus sambil berdoa bermakna kamu telah memakan tuhan
kamu. Untuk apa kamu berbuat demikian?" Beliau tidak boleh berkata
apa-apa walaupun mukanya telah merah padam.

Saya katakan kepadanya, "Kamu tidak boleh marah. Kalau kamu marah,
siapakah yang akan mengampunkan dosa kamu?" Hal itu tidak mengapa jika
diutarakan di hadapan mereka yang faham, tetapi apa yang saya bimbangkan
bagaimana jika ayat itu dibacakan di hadapan mereka yang tidak faham dan
rendah pengetahuan agamanya?

Siapa sasaran Kristian

Program mereka kini ialah berdakwah kepada orang Islam yang menghabiskan
masa di kaki-kaki lima terutamanya golongan remaja yang bermain gitar.
Mereka akan katakan, jika bermain di kaki lima tidak mendapat apa-apa
bayaran, lebih baik bermain lagu di gereja setiap hari Ahad dengan
pendapatan lumayan. Dari situ ramai yang tertarik. Dari segi wanita
Islam pula, yang saya perhatikan senarai namanya terlalu ramai orang
Melayu yang memohon menukar nama di Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara (JPN).
Itu yang menyedihkan saya. Di JPN, beratus nama sedang menunggu, apabila
pihak JPN meluluskan nama- nama tersebut, maka akan murtadlah nama-nama
itu. Itu kelemahan undang-udang negara, kami tidak boleh berbuat apa-apa
kerana mereka ini berpegang pada peruntukan yang mengatakan apabila
seseorang yang berumur 18 tahun ke atas bebas beragama.

Apa ikhtiar kita?

Ada seorang wanita berjumpa saya tetapi keadaannya meragukan. Beliau
memakai tudung. Saya menggunakan isteri saya untuk memerhatikan wanita
ini. Bila mereka tinggal berdua, barulah saya tahu di dalam tudungnya
itu ada salib.

Isteri saya memberitahu saya. Saya memanggilnya. Saya katakan kepadanya,
"Kamu tidak sayangkan Islam ke? Tolong buang benda yang ada di dalam
tudung kamu itu".

Dia tidak mengaku, tetapi saya yakin beliau memakainya. Sejurus kemudian
beliau mengeluarkan rantai salib di lehernya dan mengatakan beliau
sengaja memakainya tanpa mempunyai niat apa-apa. Saya katakan padanya
yang saya dahulu memakai rantai yang lebih besar daripadanya.
Akhirnya saya megambil rantai tersebut dan menyimpannya di pejabat saya
untuk dibawa ke pihak atasan dan menerangkan bagaimana seriusnya
penyakit ini di kalangan anak remaja kita. Wanita jika tidak kuat
pegangan memang mudah dipengaruhi. Ada juga taktik orang-orang Yahudi
yang menjadikan perkahwinan sebagai langkah paling mudah untuk
memurtadkan gadis Islam. Untuk berkahwin, mereka (lelaki Kristian) akan
memeluk Islam, kemudian akan membawa isterinya ke negara asalnya dan
memurtadkan isterinya itu.

Kemenangan Islam, Keadilan Sejagat

'Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang berkata: Tuhan kami ialah Allah, kemudian
mereka beristiqamah, turun kepada mereka malaikat Allah
berkata: jangan kamu takut dan jangan berdukacita, dan bergembiralah
dengan syurga yang dijanjikan kepada kamu.'

Subject: Upgrade boyfriend 5.0 to husband 1.0 - Pentium version

Dear IT Support,
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a slow down in the overall performance,
particularly in the flower, gifts and jewellery applications that had operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.
In addition, Husband 1.0 un-installed many other valuable programs,such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5,
but installed undesirable programs such as Formula One 5.0, NBA 3.0 and World Cup 2.0.
And now Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and House Cleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.
I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.
What can I do?
Signed,
Desperate Housewife

REPLY:

Dear Desperate Housewife,

First keep in mind:

Boyfriend 5.0 is an entertainment package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system.
Try entering the command " C:\ I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME " and download Tears 6.2 to install Guilt 3.0 ..
If all works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.
But remember, overuse can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Late Night Teh Tarik 6.1.
Late Night 6.1 is a very bad program that will create SnoringLoudly.wav files.
Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-Law 1.0 or reinstall another Boyfriend program.
These are not supported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.
In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have a limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly.
You might consider additional software to improve memory and performance.
I personally recommend Hot Tasty Food 3.0 and VIAGRA 6.9.

Good Luck,

Credit Card Scam All Team Members

Credit Card Scams hitting the USA, and starting in Australia, so we will be next.
This one is ‘Pretty slick Scam’, since they provide YOU with all the information, except the one piece they want.

WARNING - New Credit Card Scam
Note, the callers do not ask for your card number; they already have it… it’s the security 3-digit PIN number unique to only your
card, at the back of your credit card they need, to MAX your card on-line

This information is worth reading. By understanding how the VISA & MasterCard Telephone Credit Card Scam works, you'll be better prepared to protect yourself.

If you get scammed and you give them your 3-digit PIN number, and then guess who pays for the huge bill----YOU DO!
The scam works like this person calling says, "This is (name), and I'm calling from the Security and Fraud Department at VISA.

My Badge number is 12460 your card has been flagged for an unusual purchase pattern, and I'm calling to verify. This would be on your VISA card, which was issued by (name of bank).

Did you purchase an Anti-Telemarketing Device for (example) $497-99 from a Marketing company based in Sydney?" When you say "No", the caller continues with, "Then we will be issuing a credit to your account. This is a company we have been watching and the charges range from $297 to $497, just under the $500 purchase pattern that flags most cards.

Before your next statement, the credit will be sent to(gives you your address), is that correct?" You say "yes". The caller continues - "I will be starting a Fraud investigation. If you have any questions, you should call the 1-800 number listed on the back of your card (1-800-VISA) and ask for Security.
You will need to refer to this Control Number. The caller then gives you a 6-digit number. "Do you need me to read it again?"

Here's the IMPORTANT part on how the s cam works.The caller then says, "I need to verify you are in possession of your card". He'll ask you to "turn your card over and look for some numbers".
There are 7 numbers; the first 4 are part of your card number; the next 3 are the security numbers that verify you are the possessor of the card.

These are the numbers you sometimes use to make Internet purchases to prove you have the card.
The caller will ask you to read the 3 numbers to him.

After you tell the caller the 3 numbers, he'll say, "That is correct, I just needed to verify that the card has not been lost or stolen, and that you still have your card.
Do you have any other questions?" After you say No, the caller then thanks you and states, "Don't; hesitate to call back if you do", and hangs up.
You actually say very little, and they never ask for or tell you the Card number.

The REAL VISA Security Department has advised that this scam, will only take about 15 minutes before they begin to ‘Max’ out your credit card’

WARNING- What the scammers want is the 3-digit PIN number on the back of the card.
Don't give it to them the 3-digit PIN on the back of your card AT ANY COST!
Instead, tell them you'll call VISA or Master card directly for verification of their conversation.

The real VISA would never ask for anything on the card, as they already know the information since they issued the card!

If you give the scammers your 3 Digit PIN Number, you think you're receiving a credit.

However, by the time you get your statement you'll see charges for purchases you didn't make, and by then it's almost too lateand/or more difficult to actually file a fraud report.
If you think you have been scammed FILE a Police report, as instructed by VISA.
The police said they are taking several of these reports daily!

They also urged us to tell everybody we know that this scam is happening.

SESUDAH diangkat menjadi presiden Turki dua minggu lalu, mantan menteri luar, Abdullah Gul, kini perlu membuktikan beliau dapat berbaik-baik dengan golongan sekular negara tersebut.

Wajah Islam Perdana Menteri, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, dan Gul memang ketara. Setidak-tidaknya, isteri mereka bertudung.

Dari segi bilangan penyokong, gerakan sekular kian terhakis. Namun, bak api lilin yang bakal padam, ia lazimnya marak besar

Tudung bak mencerminkan kebangkitan Islam, seperti yang berlaku sewaktu gelora revolusi Islam di Iran pada 1979.

Erdogan dan Gul tunggak Parti Keadilan dan Pembangunan (AKP) - parti pertama berwajah Islam yang cuba berbaik-baik dengan Kesatuan Eropah (EU) dan yang pertama berjaya memacukan kemajuan ekonomi yang pesat di Turki.

Dari segi bilangan penyokong, gerakan sekular kian terhakis. Namun, bak api lilin yang bakal padam, ia lazimnya marak besar.

Selain pernah melancarkan tunjuk perasaan di seluruh kota besar, gerakan sekular yang didukung tentera dan Parti Rakyat Republikan telah memulaukan upacara pelantikan Gul sebagai presiden.

Presiden dipulau tentera

Sebelum ini, ketua angkatan bersenjata, Jeneral Yasar Buyukanit, memberi kata dua bahawa kini semakin ketara tanda nista yang mengancam kehidupan sekular Turki sejak diasaskan oleh Mustafa Kemal Ataturk pada 1923.

Padahal, ragam tentera tidak disukai oleh EU, yang masih menimbangkan, sejak 1960-an, permohonan Turki untuk menganggotainya.

Selain ratusan pendukung sekular melancarkan bantahan terhadap Presiden Gul, tentera tampak cuba melancarkan siasahnya.

Sudah sering Turki menyaksikan kudeta. Selain alasan membela sekularisme, tentera sebenarnya mahukan lebih kuasa.

Padahal, ragam tentera tidak disukai oleh EU, yang masih menimbangkan, sejak 1960-an, permohonan Turki untuk menganggotainya.

Banyak kes pelanggaran hak asasi dilakukan tentera Turki, termasuk menduduki utara Cyprus dalam rangka melindungi keturunan Turki yang ditindas hak minoritinya oleh kaum majoriti Greece.

AKP kian popular selepas berjaya dalam pilihan raya umum secara kilat pada Julai lalu. Dengan parlimen dan jawatan presiden di tangan AKP, tentera memang terpinggir.

Politik ambil hati

Satu pindaan perlembagaan boleh merubah kedudukan tentera untuk tidak boleh melancarkan kudeta. Malah, Gul dan Erdogan boleh menggantikan para jeneral demi mencabut 'taring' tentera.

Gul mendakwa telah memutuskan hubungan dengan golongan pendukung republik Islam pada 1999 dulu. Beliau perlu berbaik dengan tentera agar ia tidak menggoncangkan suasana negara itu.

Dengan 70 juta penduduk dan merupakan ekonomi negara majoriti Islam antara paling moden di dunia (setanding Malaysia), potensi Turki memang besar.

Sebahagian rakyat minoriti Islam di Eropah, terutama Jerman, berasal dari Turki.

Dalam dialognya dengan editor media Turki, Gul menegaskan bahawa pemerintahnya memelihara hak asasi, termasuk wanita dan kaum minoriti, serta kebebasan memilih jalan hidup sesuai dengan batas yang ditentukan oleh perlembagaan sekular negara itu.

Sebagai arkitek dasar luar Turki, Gul berjanji akan cuba merapatkan negaranya dengan EU.

Namun, rekodnya sebagai anggota kuat Parti Refah (Kebajikan) pada 1991 untuk meluaskan Islam, masih terus dipersoalkan. Refah pimpinan mantan perdana menteri Necmettin Erbakan telah diharamkan selepas tentera merampas kuasa pada 1997.

Tinjauan media mendapati warga Turki kian matang dalam mengimbangi hidup sekular, seperti di EU, dan beragama anutan nenek moyang mereka, iaitu Islam.

Namun, gerak tindak tentera Turki masih dinantikan. Apakah akan ada kudeta lagi? BHS

Yusuf Islam ...

2007-09-08T14:14:00.003+08:00

Dengan nama Allah Yang Maha Pengasih lagi Maha Penyayang

-Diambil dari Majalah i Keluaran Disember 2005 -

Di sini dipaparkan temu bual Yusuf Islam yang dikutip dari pelbagai sumber, menyingkap pandangan, pengalaman serta perjalanan hidup
beliau.

Dulu anda sangat popular, tetapi disebabkan gaya hidup yang anda jalani menyebabkan anda dihinggapi satu penyakit yang berbahaya.
Apakah hal tersebut yang menyebabkan anda mengubah haluan hidup?

Itu adalah benar. Sebelum itu saya tidak menyedari apa yang terjadi pada diri saya. Saya terasa menjalani satu kehidupan yang
sangat cepat, kehidupan sebagai artis pujaan yang gemerlapan dan mewah. Pada masa yang sama saya terpaksa bekerja lebih masa. Hidup
saya seolah-olah tidak normal. Pada masa yang sama saya ketagih minum minuman keras, merokok dan sebagainya.

Akhirnya saya terpaksa membayar gaya hidup seperti itu apabila doktor mengsahkan saya diserang penyakit TB. Ini menghairankan kerana
penyakit ini dianggap sudah pupus pada abad ke-20 ini yang kononnya sistem perubatan dan gaya hidup manusia sudah canggih.

Saya kemudian tersedar dan memikirkan kembali tentang makna hidup saya selama ini dan ke mana selepas itu. Kesedaran ini mendorong
saya melakukan satu perubahan besar. Rupanya tempoh rawatan yang saya terima, adalah satu peluang untuk saya merenung perjalanan hidup
saya. Inilah hikmah berharga di sebalik penyakit yang menimpa saya kerana dalam keadaan biasa kita tidak mempunyai masa dan kesempatan
untuk merenung sesuatu yang berharga dalam hidup kita.

Selepas anda sihat, khabarnya anda melakukan pengembaraan rohani untuk mencari kebenaran yang akhirnya bertemu dengan agama Islam?

Saya mendapat rawatan yang cukup lama di sebuah hospital di Essex, timur London . Selepas sihat saya kemudian banyak mempelajari
nilai-nilai Timur seperti Buddha, Hindu, I Chi Zen dan pelbagai lagi. Saya juga sempat mempelajari asal usul fahaman keagamaan
keluarga saya yang berasal daripada Kristian Yunani lama.

Bagaimanapun semua itu tidak memuaskan hati saya . Saya masih ragu-ragu dengan huraian yang diberikan. Seorang wanita Australi
memperkenalkan saya pada ajaran sufi Jalaludin Rumi. Ajaran tersebut sangat memberi kesan, tetapi saya masih tidak menjumpai apa yang
saya cari.

Suatu hari saya mengalami kemalangan yang mengerikan. Waktu itu saya sedang berada di pantai Malibu, di pinggiran bandar Los
Angeles, Amerika Syarikat iaitu kawasan para jutawan bermastautin. Waktu itu saya sedang melawat rumah pengurus rakaman saya, Jerry
Moss. Saya memutuskan untuk berenang di pantai pada hari itu dan saya tidak tahu bahawa hari itu merupakan hari yang berbahaya untuk
berenang kerana musim tengkujuh dan ombak yang sangat besar.

Semasa mandi, saya diheret oleh satu arus yang menyebabkan saya tenggelam. Dalam keadaan cemas seperti itu, saya sedar bahawa tidak
ada yang boleh menolong saya. Secara spontan saya berteriak sekuat-kuatnya, " Tuhan, jika Engkau selamatkan aku, aku akan bekerja
untukMu!". Tiba-tiba sebuah ombak besar mendorong saya dari belakang menghempas ke pantai. Dengan sisa-sisa tenaga yang ada saya
berenang, dan akhirnya selamat. Saya seperti tidak percaya bahawa saya masih hidup. Peristiwa itu sesuatu yang luar biasa.

Pada waktu itu saya yakin benar bahawa Tuhan itu ada. Tetapi sebagai manusia, kita sering melupakan janji-janji yang dilafazkan
apabila telah selamat. Tetapi Tuhan tidak pernah melupakannya.

Lalu sejak bila Islam memberi kesan kepada kehidupan anda?

Tidak lama selepas itu, Islam menyelinap ke dalam hati sanubari saya, melalui abang saya David. Selepas melakukan perjalanan ke
Jerusalem tahun 1976, David sangat tertarik dengan cara orang Islam beribadah di sekitar Masjid al-Aqsa. Menurutnya orang Islam nampak
sangat khusyu', tenang semasa beribadah dan tanpa patung dan tanpa gambar. Selepas pulang ke London , David mencari senaskah al-Quran
di sebuah kedai buku. Dia kemudiannya membelikan untuk saya kerana dia tahu saya sedang dalam 'pencarian'.

Saya menghabiskan waktu satu tahun untuk membaca al-Quran sehingga habis, sebelum memutuskan untuk memeluk Islam.

Pada waktu sangat berat bagi saya bersikap terbuka terhadap Islam kerana saya telah dipengaruhi oleh pelbagai persepsi negatif
terhadap Islam. Ayah saya adalah seorang Yunani-Cypriot, dan kerananya semua yang berkaitan dengan Islam dan 'Turki' adalah berbahaya
disebabkan mereka musuh ketat kami. Jadi saya pujuk hati saya, bacalah kerana ini hanya sebuah buku dan ia tidak akan melukaimu.

Saya mulai membaca al-Quran dan hal pertama yang saya pelajari adalah nama Tuhan. Dimulai dengan..." Dengan nama Allah Yang Maha
Pengasih, Maha Penyayang. Segala puji bagi Allah, Tuhan semesta alam..."

Ini sangat mengejutkan saya kerana saya tidak menyangka bahawa orang Islam itu percaya pada Tuhan! Saya menyangka mereka selama ini
menyembah Muhammad. Semakin banyak saya membaca al-Quran, semakin ia membuat saya kagum dan takjub.

Lalu apa yang anda peroleh daripada al-Quran?

Yang pertama dan utama al-Quran bercerita tentang iman kepada Allah yang Ahad untuk semua manusia, dan bercerita tentang umat
manusia sebagai sebuah keluarga. Ada juga ayat-ayat yang menceritakan tentang para Nabi yang bersaudara yang telah menyampaikan pesan
yang sama kepada umat manusia, berusaha mengajak manusia kembali ke jalan yang benar.

Saya melihat nama-nama Yesus, Moses, Abraham, Jacob, Noah dan yang terpenting adalah utusan terkahir Muhammad Sallallahu'alaihi
wasalam. Semua mereka disebut oleh al-Quran dengan penghormatan yang sama sebagai Nabi utusan Allah Subhanahu wa Taala.

Salam satu ayat itu berbunyi :" Wahai manusia sembahlah Tuhan yang menciptakanmu dan orang-orang yang sebelum kamu, supaya kamu
beriman kepadaNya".
Sepanjang hidup saya belum pernah saya mendengar ayat yang seperti ini. Akhirnya kesemua yang saya baca membawa saya kepada satu
kesimpulan iaitu " inilah kebenaran yang saya cari".

Apakah tidak timbul sedikit pun penolakan di dalam hati anda?

Ya, pada mulanya saya seperti dicabar untuk mencari kelemahan di dalam al-Quran tersebut. Lalu saya mulai mecari-cari kelemahan dan
kesalahannya. Saya terfikir takkan tidak ada satu atau dua hal yang tidak sempurna.

Tetapi datang satu bisikan dalam diri saya bahawa apa yang saya baca adalah satu kesempurnaan. Semakin saya baca, semakin ia
mengasyikkan. Saya seperti diserap oleh al-Quran.

Yang paling berkesan pada diri saya adalah kisah dalam surah Yusuf, kerana kisahnya hampir sama yang terdapat dalam kitab Injil.
Selepas saya membaca surah tersebut, tiba-tiba hati saya seperti terbuka dan air mata saya bercucuran tidak henti-henti.

Saya yakin buku ini tidak mungkin ditulis oleh seorang manusia. Ini pasti sebuah wahyu. Sejak saat itu, saya mula sedar tidak ada
cara lain selain saya harus menjadi seorang Muslim.

Akhirnya saya bertemu dengan seorang Muslimah yang memberitahu saya bahawa ada sebuah masjid yang baru dirasmikan di Regent's Park.
Padahal selama bertahun-tahun saya melalui kawasan itu, yang saya lihat hanya pepohon, semak belukar dan padang rumput.

Kini, di celah-celah pepohonan hijau itu saya melihat kubah keemasa yang belum pernah saya saksikan sebelum ini.

Pada suatu hari di musim sejuk tahun 1977, saya mengambil keputusan yang mengubah hidup saya, saya berjalan kaki untuk ke masjid itu
untuk menyatakan keyakinan saya. Saya mengatakan " Tiada Tuhan selain Allah dan Muhammad itu pesuruhNya".

Apa reaksi keluarga anda dengan keputusan anda itu?

Saya sedar bahawa langkah ini akan memberi kesan yang besar pada keluarga saya, teman-teman dan masyarakat. Tapi yang paling penting
dalam keputusan itu, bukanlah apa yang difikirkan orang tetapi saya seperti kembali ke fitrah yang suci. Jika kita mendengar bisikan
hati kita, maka kita akan pergi.

Sejak saat itu, saya terus mendengarkan suara hati saya dan saya yakin hanya seruan Allah yang harus ditaati dan diikuti. Itulah
perjalanan akhir daripada pencarian saya.

Mengapa anda memilih nama Yusuf?

Saya ingin membuang kenangan sebagai seorang Cat Stevens. Apabila saya menjadi seorang Muslim, saya memerlukan satu nama baru.
Disebabkan surah dalam al-Quran yang paling saya sukai adalah surah Yusuf, maka saya abadikan nama itu pada nama saya.

The biggest car safety mistakes parents make

2007-09-08T14:14:00.000+08:00

The biggest car safety mistakes parents The biggest car safety mistakes parents make -- and how to avoid themmake -- and how to avoid them

• Not using a safety seat consistently
• Using an old or secondhand seat
• Facing your child forward too soon
• Moving your child out of his car seat or booster too soon
• Not installing your child's safety seat correctly
• Not using a locking clip or using it incorrectly
• Not securing the seat's harness correctly
• Not buckling your child's car seat into the car
• Holding your child on your lap
• Letting two kids share one seat belt
• Letting your child ride in the front seat

Not using a safety seat consistently
"We were only going to the grocery store ..." "He hates to ride in his car seat, so just this once I didn't make him ..." "He was having a meltdown, so I took him out of his seat for a minute to calm him down ... " Safety experts say they hear these words all too often from distraught parents after tragedy has struck. Remember, a one-time-only lapse can result in a lifetime of regret. Each year, nearly 250,000 children suffer serious injuries in car crashes, and more than 1,600 die. In fact, auto accidents are the leading cause of death in children over age 3. But car seats and booster seats could prevent many of these tragedies. Consistent and correct use of safety seats, for instance, reduces the risk of death in a serious collision by more than 70 percent. Stephanie Tombrello, executive director of the nonprofit passenger safety organization SafetyBeltSafe U.S.A., urges all parents to get a safety seat that's convenient to use, and to make buckling your child into it such a habit that you don't even have to think about it.

Using an old or secondhand seat
That safety seat you scored at a garage sale or secondhand store for a fraction of its original cost may seem like a bargain, but it could cost your child his life. The same goes for an older-model seat given to you by a friend or a relative when her child outgrew it. Not only are used seats unlikely to come with the manufacturer's instructions (vital for correct installation), but they could be missing important parts, have been involved in an accident (even unseen damage can affect the seat's functioning), fall short of current safety standards, or have been recalled due to faulty design. To make sure your child's seat is safe, fill out the registration card when you buy a new car seat or booster seat, and mail it in so the manufacturer can notify you in case of a recall.

If you must use a secondhand seat, make sure it has the original instructions (if not, contact the manufacturer for a replacement copy), has all its parts (check the manual), has never been involved in an accident, is no more than two years old, and hasn't been recalled (click here to check a seat's recall status).

Facing your child forward too soon
Children have large heads and comparatively weak necks, so in a head-on collision (the most common type of crash) a child's head can jerk forward suddenly and violently, resulting in spinal injuries. For this reason, keep your child rear-facing position as long as possible. Just be sure that he rides in a rear-facing seat specially designed to hold children weighing up to 35 pounds or a convertible car seat that's made to hold children weighing up to 35 pounds in a rear-facing position or up to 40 pounds in a forward-facing position. (Note: The 12-months-and-20-pounds rule that many parents cite when turning their child forward in the car is actually the minimum size and age requirement.)

Moving your child out of his car seat or booster too soon
Though safety-seat laws vary from state to state, experts are unequivocal in their recommendations for safe riding:
• Your child should ride in a safety seat with a five-point harness until he weighs at least 40 pounds, or until his shoulders no longer fit under the harness straps. (You can use a convertible rear- and forward-facing car seat until your child hits 40 pounds or the harness system of a car- and booster-seat combo from as little as 20 pounds up to 40 pounds.)
• Your child should ride in a booster seat from the time he weighs 40 pounds (and is at least 3 years old) until he's 4 feet 9 inches tall and at least 8 years old.

Not installing your child's safety seat correctly
Your child's safety seat won't do the job it's intended to if it's not installed correctly. Among the most common mistakes: Not buckling the car seat in tightly enough, and not using the right type of seat belt to secure your child in his booster seat. So before you so much as back out of the driveway, check to see that the seat doesn't tip forward or slide from side to side more than an inch, and make sure that your child's booster is secured with a lap-and-shoulder belt.

Better yet, use the new anchoring system if you can. Since 1999, federal regulation has required most new forward-facing car seats to come with a top tether that snaps into a corresponding anchor in your car, making installation easier and more secure. But because most pre-1999 vehicles don't have the anchoring system, owners of those models may want to consider having their car retrofitted with the anchor system (check with your local auto dealership for information on cost and feasibility).

Since September 2002, all new car seats and vehicles must be compatible with the LATCH system, short for Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (combining the previously existing top tethers with lower anchors, built into the rear of the car; some cars built between 1999 and 2002 also have the system). Toddler / booster combo seats are required to have both the upper and lower attachments; booster seats are not required to have LATCH.

Not using a locking clip or using it incorrectly
If your car is a pre-1996 model, chances are the lap-and-shoulder belts don't lock unless you come to a sudden stop. This means you need a locking clip — a small metal device that looks like an oversized paper clip — to hold the seat belt (and thus your child's car seat) tight in the event of a crash. After you buckle your child's seat tightly in place, see if you can move it more than an inch toward the front or sides of the car. If so, install the locking clip about a half-inch above the buckle (not on the other side of your child's car seat, holding the shoulder and lap belts together before they're threaded through the appropriate slot in the car seat — a common mistake parents make). If you've misplaced the locking clip that came with your car seat, contact the manufacturer to order a replacement or buy a new one at a store that carries car seats and other safety supplies.

Not securing the seat's harness correctly
You can do all the prep work in the world (shopping for just the right seat for your car and your child, placing it in the safest position in your car, and installing it correctly), but none of that will matter much if you don't buckle your child into the seat securely. To make sure the car seat harness straps are snug enough to hold your child firmly in the event of an accident:
• Buckle your child in, making sure the harness straps aren't twisted, and then use the mechanism on the front of the car seat to pull the harness tight. You should not be able to pinch any harness fabric between your fingers.
• Slide the plastic retainer clip that holds the two straps together up to armpit level before securing it. If the clip is too low, your child could be ejected from his seat in a crash.

Not buckling your child's car seat into the car
Believe it or not, many parents who are cited for car seat violations have a car seat in their car, and have their child buckled into the car seat — but have not buckled the car seat into the car. This may be the result of confusion between car seats with harnesses and booster seats (which have different anchoring systems), or the result of switching a seat from one car to another on a hectic morning. To avoid this common mistake, don't start your engine until you've double-checked that your child is not only safely secured in his car seat, but that the seat is buckled tightly into the car's seat belt system. If your child rides in a booster seat, make sure the car's seat belts are buckled around him before you take off.

Even better, use the new LATCH system to bypass your car's seat belts and attach the car seat or booster seat directly to your car. For more information, see "Not installing your child's safety seat correctly," above.

Holding your child on your lap
When your child is having a tantrum after hours on the road, it's tempting to lift him out of his car seat and hold him in your arms. The same goes when you're just making a quick dash from one locale to another with a gaggle of friends or relatives and it's easier for everyone to pile into the same vehicle than to take separate cars. This might seem safe enough (after all, you'd hold your child tight if anything happened, right?), but the truth is you can't control what your body might do in a crash. In fact, safety experts warn that even if you're belted in, your child could be ripped from your arms and thrown through the windshield by the force of a collision. And if you manage to get the seat belt around both of you, your weight could actually crush your child to death. So as much as he may scream, and as inconvenient as taking your own car is when the two of you could just hop into someone else's, never let your child ride in a moving car unless he's safely strapped into his car seat or booster. No exceptions.

Letting two kids share one seat belt
This is a big no-no; crash tests have shown that when two children ride buckled into one seat belt, their heads can knock together so hard that it's potentially fatal for both of them.

Letting your child ride in the front seat
Though he may whine and plead to ride in the front seat with you, the back seat is by far the safest place for your child, since that's where he's best protected in a head-on or side-impact collision. In fact, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) strongly recommends that all children under age 13 ride in the back seat every time they get in the car. Other tips on safe riding positions:
• If possible, buckle your child into the middle of the back seat, where he's best protected from side-impact collisions. If your child rides in a booster seat and your car has only a lap belt in the center back (which is fine for car seats but should never be used on its own with a booster seat), position your child's booster on either the right or left side of your back seat and buckle him in with the car's lap-and-shoulder belt.
• If you have a passenger air bag in your car, that's all the more reason to keep your child in the back. Though air bags are designed to reduce injuries in adults, they're actually dangerous for children. In fact, in recent years more than a hundred kids have been killed by passenger air bags, which can cause serious head and neck injuries when they inflate, especially to children in rear-facing car seats. To find out whether your car has air bags, look for a warning label on the sun visor or the letters SRS or SIR embossed on the dashboard, or check your vehicle owner's manual.
• If your child must sit in the front seat because that's the only option (if the back seat is already full or if your car is a two-seater, for example), check to see if your car's air bag has an on-off switch, and if so, turn it off. If not, have an air-bag switch installed by a car dealership or one of the specialized companies that have sprung up to deal with this situation (the NHTSA maintains a list of companies that install air bag on-off switches). If you can't disable your passenger air bag, then have the child who's most securely restrained in a front-facing car seat with a full harness (in other words, the child who's least likely to wiggle out of his restraints; or, if your passengers have all moved out of the car seat phase, your biggest or tallest passenger) ride in the front seat, and move his seat as far back from the dashboard as possible.

Question: When can my child safely ride in the front seat of a car?

Answer: The answer in almost every case is not until he's at least 13 — and passenger safety organizations such as SafetyBeltSafe U.S.A. recommend going even further and keeping your child in the backseat until he's ready to drive himself.

Why? Because riding in the front seat simply isn't as safe as riding in the back. Buckling a child into the backseat instead of the front reduces by a third his risk of death in a collision.
In a head-on crash (the most common — and deadly — type of collision), a child in the front seat can be thrown into your car's dashboard or through the windshield. Even if he's properly buckled in, he's at much greater risk for being harmed by objects intruding into the car in the front than in the back.

What's more, in cars with passenger air bags (which includes most newer models), the air bags deploy with such force that they can cause severe head and neck injuries to a child. Nationwide, more than a hundred children have been killed by air bags in recent years, and many of these deaths were in slow-speed collisions that should have been minor. Infants and toddlers in rear-facing car seats are at extreme risk from air bags when placed in the front seat because the back of their car seat is so close to the dashboard.

If, despite these very real dangers, you absolutely must put a non-rear-facing child in the front seat, check to see whether your car's air bag has an on-off switch, and if so, turn it off. If not, have an air-bag switch installed by a car dealership or one of the specialized companies that have sprung up to deal with this situation. (The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration maintains a list of companies that install air bag on-off switches; you'll need to get permission from this government organization before installing such a switch, however.) If you can't disable your passenger air bag, then have the child who's most securely restrained in a front-facing car seat with a full harness (in other words, the child who's least likely to wiggle out of his restraints, or, if your passengers have all moved out of the car seat phase, your biggest or tallest passenger) ride in the front seat, and move his seat as far back from the dashboard as possible.

Excerpt from NST today...guys pls be extra careful...especially if you or your HM is driving alone...

PETALING JAYA: Three armed robbers struck twice within 12 hours yesterday, escaping with two cars, both driven by women.

Both incidents occurred five kilometres apart in Puchong, leading police to believe that both robberies were committed by the same gang.

The first incident occurred about midnight yesterday near Taman Puncak Jalil.

The victim was a 20-year-old woman who was driving a Toyota Vios. Her car was hit from behind by a Proton Waja.

When the woman pulled up by the road shoulder to inspect the damage, three men from the Proton Waja confronted her. They scolded and accused her of causing the accident.

One of the suspects then slapped the victim, causing her to fall to the ground and before she could regain her composure, another man drove her car away.

The victim, who was bruised from the attack, called a friend before lodging a report at a nearby police station.

The second incident occurred in front of another victim's house in Jalan BK2/7, Bandar Kinrara, about 11.30am yesterday.

The woman, in her 30s, was about to go out with her maid when they were confronted by three men, one armed with a parang.

They were warned not to raise the alarm before the three jumped into the woman's Mercedes Benz and drove it away.

Subang Jaya deputy police chief Superintendent Jaafar Said said police believe both robberies were committed by the same gang. He said police mounted roadblocks in the area immediately after each report.

The losses were estimated at RM250,000.

Jaafar advised women drivers to be extra cautious if they were involved in minor collisions.

He said they should drive to the nearest police station if they felt threatened.
Those with information on the cases can contact the nearest police station or Subang Jaya police headquarters at 03-89484822.

In Butterworth, a similar modus operandi was inflicted upon a businessman along a busy road at Sungai Dua yesterday.

The drama unfolded about noon when the 34-year-old was driving his new Toyota Camry, worth about RM150,000, from Sungai Petani to his home. A 4WD vehicle suddenly rammed into his car from behind as he reached the Sungai Dua main road.

The businessman then pulled up to the side to inspect the damage to his vehicle but before he could get out, another car sped up alongside his vehicle and six men armed with parangs and knives, confronted him.

Seberang Prai Utara district police chief ACP Wan Abdullah Tuanku Said said that the robbers bundled the businessman into his car and took over the wheel. They drove him to a secluded area in Permatang Pasir and robbed him of RM2,100, a gold chain and ring worth RM27,000.

The victim was ordered out of his car before the robbers fled in his Toyota.

An engineer boyfriend can provide you with a secure lifestyle. At 27 years old, an engineer probably has a respectable, stable job that gives him a high income to own a car, invest, have a comfortable life, and

Get married and buy a house too. Law graduates are still working as a lowly apprentice in law firm. Most management graduates have just failed on their first business plan. The arts graduate is still looking for a job. And the medical school graduate is still living in a hospital.

Advantage 2: Unmatchable industriousness

An engineer boyfriend will dedicate anunimaginable amount of his time and effort to understand you. Engineers strain really really hard to understand their work. You can believe that they will try really really hard to understand women too, just like how they understand their work, once they believe that you are the one. So even if they don't understand you initially, they will keep on trying. Even if they still do not understand, they will figure out the correct method to keep you happy (e.g. buy diamond ring = 1 week's worth of happiness.) And once they find out the secret formula, they will just keep on repeating it so that the desired results appear. Unlike the Lawyer who will argue with you. The Management graduate who will try to control your spending, The Arts graduate who will 'change major'. And the medical school graduate who will operate on you. And you know what, it's really so easy to make engineers believe that you are the 'one'. Say that you like one of their project and they will be hooked to you forever.

Advantage 3:

An engineer boyfriend will never betray your trust. Let me first tell you what is wrong with the rest of the others - The lawyers will lie about everything. Management graduates will cheat your money. The arts graduate will flirt, and you probably just look like another cadaver to the medical school graduate. Your engineer boyfriend is either too busy to have an affair, and even if he does, he is too dumb to lie to you about that. Hence, an engineer is the most secure boyfriend that you will ever find - rich enough, will keep on trying to understand and please you, has no time for affairs, and too dumb to lie to you.

So girls, why procrastinate?

Get an engineer for your boyfriend!

Kisah Malam Pertama

2007-09-08T13:57:00.003+08:00

Malam Pertama..

Sempena musim kawin..kekekkeke...Lesson: Bukak sume hadiah b4
masuk tido...kekeke..:p

Malam Pertama

Suasana masih riuh di luar. Sanak saudara semuanya berkampung
disini. Gelak ketawa, gurau senda jelas kedengaran. Aku
memimpin isteriku ke dalam bilik pengantin. Suara-suara
sumbang terlalu banyak yang menegurku.

"Hai, malam masih muda, dah nak masuk tidur?" sapa Pak Ucu.

"Orang muda bang Aji, biarlah. Air dah penuh kat kepala tu."
sahut Pak Tam disambut hilai ketawa sanak saudara yang lain.
Meriah sungguh keadaan diluar walau jam sudah menunjukkan
pukul 11.00 malam.

Hadiah yang masih belum dibuka ku susun ke tepi. Lampu ku
tutup. Merebah diri ke katil pengantin, aku menoleh ke arah
isteriku.

"Kita tidur dulu lah yer. Ramai sangat orang kat luar tu."
Isteriku hanya mengangguk tanda setuju.

Entah pukul berapa sekarang, aku pun tidak tahu. Keadaan di
luar gelap gelita dan senyap sunyi. Tanda sanak saudaraku
telah pulang dan keluargaku telah tidur.

Jari jemariku lembut membelai rambutnya. Ku selak rambut ikal
yang menutupi telinganya lalu membisikkan "Assalammualaikum!"
ke telinganya untuk menguji isteriku.

"Wa alaikummussalam." Rupanya isteriku masih belum tidur.

Ku kucup pipi halusnya. Ku kucup dahinya yang mulus. Semerbak
harumnya menusuk deria bauku. Akanku tunaikan tanggungjawabku
sebagai suami malam ini. Jari-jemari ini terus membelai
tubuhnya. Perasaanku tidak dapat dikawal lagi, namun...

"Kringggggg...."

"Tik..tik..tik..tik..."

"Kring.. kring..kring.."

Bunyi-bunyi jam loceng entah dari mana memenuhi ruang bilikku.
Terkejut dengan segala macam bunyi yang ada, aku membuka
lampu. Serentak itu, terang benderang seluruh rumahku.
Bunyi-bunyi ini telah berjaya membangunkan semua orang di
rumahku.

Aku mencari-cari punca bunyi-bunyi itu. Mataku terarah ke
sekotak hadiah yang masih terbalut rapi. Aku buka dengan
pantas dan di dalamnya terdapat 5 buah jam loceng. Juga
sekeping kad berbunyi... Selamat Pengantin Baru, Jangan
gopoh-gopoh. Baru Pukul 2 pagi. Jangan maree.. kami potong
stim. Ikhlas dari : Class of 92/93, SMKAS.

Dalam hatiku.. cilaka punya kengkawan. Potong stim betullah.

TAMAT

Andai hidup punca perpisahan,
biarlah mati menyambungnya semula.
Namun seandainya mati punca perpisahan,
biarlah hidup ini membawa erti yang nyata.

Another interesting Story..

2007-09-08T13:57:00.002+08:00

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the
problem science has with God, The Almighty.

He asks one of his new students to stand and.....

Prof: So you believe in God?

Student: Absolutely, sir.

Prof : Is God good?

Student: Sure.

Prof: Is God all-powerful?

Student: Yes.

Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to
heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But
God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm?

(Student is silent.)

Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is
God good?

Student: Yes.

Prof: Is Satan good?

Student: No.

Prof: Where does Satan come from?

Student: From...God...

Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student: Yes.

Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything.
Correct?

Student: Yes.

Prof: So who created evil?

(Student does not answer.)

Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these
terrible things exist in the world, don't they?

Student: Yes, sir.

Prof: So, who created them?

(Student has no answer.)

Prof:Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe
the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?

Student:No, sir.

Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?

Student: No, sir.

Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God?

Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?

Student: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.

Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student: Yes.

Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol,
science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student:Nothing. I only have my faith.

Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.

Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Prof: Yes.

Student:And is there such a thing as cold?

Prof:Yes.

Student:No sir. There isn't.

(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat,
mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat.

But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees
below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after
that. There is no such thing as cold . Cold is only a word we use
to describe the absence of heat . We cannot measure cold. Heat is
energy .. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence
of it .

(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)

Student:What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as
darkness?

Prof:Yes. What is night if there i! sn't darkness?

Student You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of
something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light,
flashing light....But if you have no light constantly, you have
nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness
isn't. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker,
wouldn't you?

Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?

Student:Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Prof:Flawed? Can you explain how?

Student:Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue
there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God.
You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something
we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought.

It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less
fully understood ! either one.To view death as the opposite of life
is to be ignorant of the fact that de ath cannot exist as a
substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the
absence of it.

Now tell me, Professor.Do you teach your students that they evolved
from a monkey?

Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process,
yes, of course, I do.

Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize
where the argument is going.)

Student:Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at
work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going
endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a
scientist but a preacher? (The class is in uproar.)

Student:Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the
Professor's brain?

(The class breaks out into laughter! .)

Student Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's
brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so.

So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable,
demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain,sir.
With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face
unfathomable.)

Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.

Student:That is it sir... The link between man & god is FAITH .
That is all that keeps things moving & alive.

NB:I believe you have enjoyed the conversation...and if so...you'll
probably want your friends/colleagues to enjoy the same...won't
you?....

this is a true sto ry, and the student was none other
than.........APJ Abdul Kalam.(GABENOR OF INDIA). ONE OF THE
INTELIGENT SCIENTIST THAT WE HAVE IN THIS UNIVERSE.

Raya & Kisah Balik Kampung

2007-09-08T13:57:00.001+08:00

Moral: Jangan gaduh pasal balik raya la, pakat baik2. Buat anak
lelaki, tanggungjawab kat ibu sampai salah seorang (anak tu atau ibu)
menemui ajalnya. Buat para isteri, jangan sampai jadikan suami anak
derhaka...

Setiap kali menjelang ramadhan tergiang-giang suara ibu yang
rasanya baru saja saya dengar walaupun telah berlaku berbelas tahun.
Diantara tazkirah ibu yang amat saya ingat ialah ketika bulan puasa
selepas bersahor sementara menunggu waktu solat subuh ibu akan
memanggil kami semua (3 orang anak perempuannya - ibu mempunyai 4
orang anak perempuan seorang dah berumahtangga dan dua orang anak
lelaki) dan akan bercerita tentang kebesaran Allah dan hukum hakam
dalam islam dengan menggunakan bahasa yang amat mudah difahami
walaupun ketika itu saya masih lagi bersekolah menengah rendah dan
ayah pula meninggal dunia ketika usia saya tiga bulan.

Ibu : Apa yang nak ibu cakap nie....dengar baik-baik lebih-lebih
lagi pada Ateh (anak no. 3) dan Acik (anak no.5). Ateh akan mendirikan
rumahtangga tak lama lagi. Apabila hampir penghujung puasa dah tentu
kamu suami isteri akan berbantah-bantahan untuk pulang ke kampong
siapa pada hari raya pertama. Betul tak??????

Ateh & Acik : Betul....mestilah ghumah ibu dulu.........

Ibu : Dengar dulu....contohnya jika rumah kamu di Tanjong Malim,
rumah ibu di Cheras dan rumah mentua kamu di Johor, rumah siapakah
yang akan kamu tuju dulu?

Ateh & Acik : Ghumah ibulah.....sebab dekat

Ibu : Tidak.......ibu tidak izinkan kamu balik ke
sini.........baliklah ke rumah mentua kamu dan jika mentua dan suami
kamu izinkan barulah balik ke rumah ibu........ibu tak kisah hari raya
yang keberapa sekalipun.

Ateh : Mengangguk.......(tanda faham ler tue...... dia nie banyak
ikut perwatakan ibu....penyabar, bertolak ansur dan mahir dalam
menjahit, sulam menyulam, memasak dan juga pandai mengurut....diantara
kami adik-beradik dialah yang paling dalam
pengetahuannya dalam islam seperti ibu juga).

Acik : Mana boleh macam tu tak aci lahhhhhh......kena
gilir-gilirlah baru adil. (dia nie memang kaki bangkang
pun.....outspoken skit kalau dia tak puas ati)

Ibu : Ingatlah......jika anak-anak perempuan itu sayangkan ibu
bapanya dan inginkan kebahagian ibu bapa nya di akhirat
nanti...taatlah pada suami dan mentua ........

Acik : Macam kaum h**** lak. Dah kawin tak boleh gi rumah emakbapak.

Ibu : Bukan macam tu......islam tu indah.......setiap anak-anak
perempuan yang taat pada suami di samping mentua mereka, ibubapanya
akan mendapat pahala di atas ketaatannya itu..... dan seperkara
lagi.....untuk menjaga suami tidak sesusah mananye... hanya dua
perkara kalau kamu nak menundukkan suami kamu mengikut
ISLAM......JAGALAH NAFSUNYA DAN JAGALAH PERUTNYA. InsyaAllah dia tak
akan ke mana.....kalau dia melilau pun dia akan kembali kepada kamu
juga. Pahala kamu ada di dalam rumah kamu tak payah bersusah payah
macam kaum lelaki di luar rumah mencari pahala.

Ditakdirkan Allah Ateh bernikah dengan abang ipar yang yatim
piatu......jadi setiap tahun beraya bersama ibu manakala Acik pulak
masih mempunyai ibubapa mentua . Hampir setiap tahun pada hari raya
puasa Acik sekeluarga akan beraya di rumah mentua di Melaka cuma pada
hari keempat atau selebihnya di rumah ibu (rumah Acik di Kedah).

Dengan takdir Allah ketika saya berada di tingkatan 6 rendah, dua
hari sebelum hari raya puasa Acik sekeluarga tiba di rumah ibu. Ibu
terkejut tapi saya rasa.........terkejut campur gembira agaknya ibu
pada masa itu. Selepas pulang dari solat terawih ibu duduk berbual
dengan abang ipar...

Ibu : Bila kamu nak bawa isteri kamu pulang ke Melaka?

Abang ipar : Kami akan beraya di sini dan raya ke dua nanti baru
balik ke Melaka (dia nie memang malu sakan dgn ibu).

Ibu : Adakah ini desakan dari isteri kamu?

Abang ipar : Tidak bu.......saya izinkan keluarga saya beraya di sini.

Ibu : Bagaimana ibubapa kamu adakah mereka setuju?

Abang ipar : Mereka tiada halangan.

(dalam hati saya rasa terkilan..........apalah ibu nie....biarkan
jerlah Acik nak beraya di sini)

Ibu : Izinkan ibu bercakap dalam talipon dengan emak kamu. (abang
ipar bangun dan mendial no. talipon kampungnya dan menyerahkan
ganggang talipon pada ibu....lama gak ibu bergayut dengan besannya).
Emak kamu tak ada masalah kamu sekeluarga beraya bersama ibu di
sini.(sambil menitis airmata) Terima kasih kerana membawa anak dan
cucu-cucu ibu ke sini.

Apabila habis bulan syawal seperti biasa hanya saya dan ibu saja
tinggal di rumah. Sebagai anak yang bongsu dan paling rapat dengan ibu
dan masih solo ketika itu, ibu mencurahkan perasaan dan berbangga
kerana dapat membimbing anak-anak perempuan nya kearah islam tapi ibu
amat kecewa dengan kedua-dua anak-anak lelakinya yang seperti lembu
dicucuk hidung menjadi pak turut kepada isteri mereka. Bayangkanlah
menantu perempuan ibu yang sulong tidak pernah bermalam di rumah
ibu apatah lagi lepas makan nak tolong basuh pinggan ke atau menolong
kerja-kerja rumah yang lain....(tak boleh cerita panjang.........dah
masuk bab mengumpat lak.......).

Semasa saya di tingkat 6 atas ibu kembali ke rahmatullah membawa
seribu kekecewaan di atas sikap anak-anak lelakinya. Alhamdulillah
apabila saya mendirikan rumahtangga......masalah pulang beraya tak
mendatangkan masalah pada suami kerana semua jenis cuti kami
sekeluarga akan habiskan di rumah mentua saya. Saya juga salah
seorang menantu yang disenangi.

Saya selalu bertanya pada diri saya sendiri......sempurnakah sudah
aku sebagai seorang menantu? Sempurnakah aku sebagai seorang isteri
yang solehah?.........berjayakah aku menjadi ibu sepertimana ibu ku
dulu???????? Ya Allah.....berilah aku petunjuk dan pimpinlah aku ke
jalan yang engkau redhai.....Aminnn

Melabur dalam ASB menggunakan loan bank. - Untung @Rugi?

2007-09-08T13:57:00.000+08:00

Cuba kita fikir2 kan...

Assalamualaikum,

Kalau tak silap saya, belum ada orang yang beri
jawapan samada untung atau rugi buat ASB loan ini.
Jadi izinkan saya berkongsi sedikit pengetahuan saya
samada elok atau tidak elok buat ASB loan ini.

Analisis yang saya buat ini cuma ringkas saja dan
tidak berniat untuk memburuk-burukkan pihak tertentu.
Hanya sekadar untuk pertimbangan anda sebelum membuat
keputusan untuk membuat ASB Loan (melabur ke ASB
dengan duit pinjaman bank).

Dari contoh simpanan ASB RM 100,000 yang terdiri dari
Deposit RM 5,000 manakala RM 95,000 pinjaman bank
mengikut kadar BLR + 0.5% (iaitu 6.9% setahun)
==> Bayaran bulanan RM 731 untuk tempoh 20 tahun.

Seperti yang diiklan, dividen akan diberi terus kpd
anda. Contoh: dividen 7% setahun, anda akan dapat RM
7,000 setiap tahun. Boleh dibelanjakan apa saja anda
suka dan at the end of 20 years, anda akan terima RM
100,000 yang boleh digunakan untuk beli rumah,
pendidikan anak dan sebagainya.

Cara A - Gunakan dividen untuk bayar semula pinjaman
----------------------------------------------------
Hasil pengiraan saya menggunakan software Optimoney,
jika dividen 7% setahun atau RM 7,000 itu dibayar
semula kpd bank untuk mengurangkan baki pinjaman anda,
loan ASB anda dijangka selesai dalam masa 7 tahun 6
bulan dengan jumlah pembayaran penuh hampir RM 120,827
(termasuk deposit RM5,000 dan dividen RM7,000 yg
dibayar semula setiap tahun)

Ini bermakna, anda terpaksa membayar RM 120,000 untuk
mendapatkan RM 100,000 selepas 7-8 bulan. Untung atau
rugi?

Jika anda labur RM 731 ke dalam ASB setiap bulan
selama 8 tahun pun, simpanan anda akan menjadi RM
94,260. Campur deposit RM 5,000 yang disimpanutk 8
tahun juga, future value adalah RM 8,590. Total nilai
pelaburan anda = 102,850. Dah lebih RM 100,000 dah.

Cara B - Belanjakan Dividen setiap tahun dan maintain
bayar bulanan kpd loan
-----------------------------------------------
Bagi loan RM 95,000 untuk 20 tahun pada kadar 6.9%
setahun, jumlah pembayaran penuh selepas 20 tahun
adalah RM 175,359 (kos)

Dengan dividen RM 7,000 untuk 20 tahun = RM 140,000
dan duit ASB selepas 20 tahun = RM 100,000 (+)
---------------------------------------
Duit Yang Diterima = RM 240,000
---------------------------------------

Secara kasar, nampak macam anda untung sebab anda
perolehi RM 240,000 dalam masa 20 tahun sedangkan kos
pinjaman anda berjumlah RM 175,359 shj.

Untung pada mata kasar = RM 64,641

Tetapi, bila mengambil kira kesediaan dan keupayaan
anda maintain bayaran bulanan RM 731 selama 20 tahun,
anda sebenarnya rugi besar.

Ini kerana dengan simpanan RM 731 ke dalam ASB untuk
tempoh 20 tahun, nilai pelaburan anda akan menjadi
RM 383,018.

Ini bermakna, oleh kerana anda ambil ASB loan dari
bank, anda kehilangan 'potential gain'
Total Value jika anda simpan sendiri = RM 383,018
Total gain kalau anda ambil loan = RM 240,000 (-)
-------------------------------------------------
Kehilangan Keuntungan RM 143,018
================================================

Siapa yang untung sebenarnya? ==> Bank
Dengan modal pinjaman RM 95,000, bank terima RM
175,359 dari anda sepanjang 20 tahun itu. Ini bermakna
mereka untung lebih RM 80,000 dari keuntungan ASB yang
anda boleh dapat jika anda simpan guna duit sendiri.
Masalahnya, bank tidak boleh melabur dalam ASB kerana
ASB adalah untuk individu bumiputra. Dengan ASB loan,
mereka dapat buat untung hasil dividen ASB yang mereka
ambil dari pelaburan anda.

Yang Rugi ==> Anda sebenarnya.
Oleh itu, lebih baik anda simpan ASB menggunakan duit
sendiri. Moralnya, jangan melabur dengan duit hutang.

Diharap email ini dapat menjawab dilemma anda selama
ini. Terima kasih.

ROBBED BY MAT REMPIT! DAMN IT!

2007-09-07T16:17:00.000+08:00

ROBBED BY MAT REMPIT! DAMN IT!

Date : 10th Dec 2006

At approx 4.00, we started our journey to Pacific Mall, Perai to meet up with 2 friends who were supposed to pick us up and head to Cameron Highland .

Towards the last 200m of Penang bridge, we saw a grey colour Satria in front of us turned into the fast lane. We then realized there was a helmet lying on the floor in the middle of the slow lane. We couldn't avoid the helmet and ran over it.
The helmet got stuck beneath the front part of the car.

It was around 4.30 am then. We had to continue driving as we couldn't stop on Penang Bridge. As soon as we exit from Penang Bridge , we decided to stop by the roadside because the friction and noise caused by the helmet was too great. As we slowed down, one motorcycle with 2 Malay guys approached us. We stopped the car and my dad went down to check on the helmet which got stuck under the car.

Out of a sudden, more than 20 over Malay guys, all on motorcycles approached our car out of nowhere with very angry faces. They surrounded the front and side perimeter of our car.

We thought they were after the helmet that we ran through and we apologized to them. They shouted at us to get out of the car. Panicked, we locked the car. One of the guys started hitting the driver seat windscreen with his helmet and smashed the windscreen. They then unlocked the car. One guy grabbed my handbag which I've placed near to the gearbox. The other guys opened the right door behind the driver seat and grabbed my sister's bag pack. At that very same moment, they threw a whole lot of an unidentified powder (which we later find out that it might be sulfur) which caused us to lose our vision and suffocate. Another guy opened the back door on the left and start grabbing my friend's waist pouch but to no avail. They gave up and sped away.

Later after the incident, my dad told us that as soon as he got out of the car, he saw 2 guys approaching and shouted to him about the helmet. When he is facing the guys, they shouted that they want bag. He is scared for the safety of the girls; therefore, he held both his hands up to indicate 'slow down and I'll give you'. That was when they started to surround him until he has no space to move and snatched off his wallet from his back pocket. My dad then made a turn to have a look at the girls and at that instance; he was attacked with the powder which caused him to lose his vision and breath.

We immediately called the police after the gang sped away. We also called our friends who were nearby. Before the police arrived, a few of the motorbikes actually turned back and waited under some trees after the exit of the Penang Bridge, waiting for their next victim. One of them came quite near to us and looked at us as if telling us "Poor fellas, what can you do to us!"

It all happened in less than 2 minutes. In this incident, we lost approximately RM 3500 including cash, hand phones, a digital camera, a smashed windscreen, and a damaged interior of the car.

Worse, all four of us were traumatized by the incident. We could have lost our lives.

While we were lodging police report at Balai Polis Perai, another girl came to lodge a police report at the same police station. She too was followed and robbed by a group of 20 over Malay guys on motorcycles, whom the police suspected were committed by the same gang.

The policemen who have came to us and whom we met at the police station seems to be aware of the so-called Mat Rempits and what they have been doing, and they pitied us with what happened. One of them even commented that "we were lucky that they did not sprayed chilly powder instead". ( this is what they can do-empathy)

We also need to highlight that we arrived at the police station at approximately 5.30am. The entire report process took us around 6 hours which was also ridiculous.( where is the Barisan rep, where is the MCA rep?, where is the LAW? )

As victims of this incident, and as members of the public, we need to know what actions the authorities have taken since they were aware of similar incidents which have been taking place for quite some time. Also, what are the actions that they will take to prevent another unlucky victim to go through the entire traumatic experience which will haunt us for our lifetime?

The incident was reported on Star Newspaper dated 11th Dec 2006 , on page N26. Nonetheless, the content of the report was inaccurate. The report itself sounded like "just another robbery".

Mat Rempit on crime spree

11 Dec 2006
Adie Suri Zulkefli

BUKIT MERTAJAM: Mat Rempit are no longer just a menace on the road. In Penang , they have become violent criminals, robbing and assaulting their victims. Several groups of these illegal racers went on a crime spree in four separate incidents early yesterday.

Later in the afternoon, some of them even rammed a police road block.

In the first incident during the early hours of the morning, a group of between 20 and 30 motorcyclists blocked a Perodua Kancil near the Penang Bridge and smashed the car's windscreen.

They then used a fire extinguisher to temporarily blind four men in the car before robbing them of their cash and belongings worth about RM500.

The Mat Rempit were believed to have trailed the car from Butterworth before forcing it to stop at the end of the bridge, near Prai here.

In the second incident in Kampung Jawa, Prai, another group of Mat Rempit robbed a Proton Gen.2 owner after trailing him right to his house.

The driver, in his 30s, who realised he was being trailed, thought that he would be spared after speeding to his home but the gang persisted and followed him.

They assaulted him before relieving his cash and belongings worth about RM250.

In two other incidents in Bukit Tengah and Bukit Minyak, two groups of Mat Rempit robbed drivers of two different cars by tricking them into stopping by planting their crash helmets on the road.

Each driver stopped to remove the helmets, only to be assaulted by the attackers who were hiding behind some bushes.

Seberang Perai Tengah police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Anil Shah Abdullah has pledged an all-out war against Mat Rempit.

"We are mobilising all our available resources to track them and put a stop to this madness," he said.

He also said police had identified two men in their 20s in connection with the cases and would release their photos to the public if they failed to report to the police.

The Mat Rempit menace, however, continued when about 4pm, a group of about 50 Mat Rempit, believed to be from Tasek Gelugor, almost clashed with the police at a roadblock near the Bukit Tengah roundabout. Some of them rammed into the roadblock but luckily none of the policemen was injured.

Bukit Bintang Automated Toilet Review

2007-09-07T16:16:00.001+08:00

Bukit Bintang Automated Toilet Review

As part of an initiative to make the city more favourable towards tourists, a series of state-of-the-art automated public toilets were recently introduced at several tourist hot spots around KL city.

These new public toilets came to light not without some controversy. Some people like them, some people think those money can be better spent somewhere else. At RM400,000 a pop, these toilets are even more expensive than the houses most of us live in.
But hey, it's not like the authorities care anyway. The toilets have been built already and if you don't like them, you can go (shit) sit somewhere else.

Our country's top officials are obviously proud of these toilets. On the toilets' opening ceremony, even our Deputy Prime Minister came along in his sleek black limo to officiate the opening.
When it comes to opening ceremonies, people always like to perform a symbolic action to mark its opening. Some people cut ribbons, others plant trees or hit gongs.
You gotta wonder, what symbolic action our Deputy Prime Minister did to make the opening of these toilets official? Did he urinate to officiate?

These toilets cost 20 cents to use. In other words, they need at least 2 million people to piss in each of these toilets just to breakeven financially.
There's a coin slot by door for you to put the money in. These are pretty similar to those soft drink vending machines. Except with vending machines, you put in the coin in and stuff comes out of it - for you.
With these toilets, you put the coin in and stuff comes out of you.

The inside of the public toilets look mighty impressive. Unlike the public toilets we are used to, these ones are extremely clean. They are so clean, they make our hawker food stalls look dirty.
Only in Malaysia can you find places you shit cleaner than the places you eat.

I mean, there's even an aircond inside the toilet! Finally, someone has acknowledged that chucking a shit is actually pretty tough work.
The most amusing of all, must be the warning signboard inside the RM400,000 toilet.

There's this symbol that says "No Diving Allowed."

Then there's the standard "No Eating and Drinking Allowed"

I don't know about you, but I'm not sure about the kinda food they serve in public toilets. Chocolate cakes, anyone?
But one thing that caught my attention though, was this warning.

Heh.
The last thing you wanna happen when you're happily taking a dump, is for the door to automatically open and have the busy crowd at Bukit Bintang catch an eyeful of you.
Doing this.

That'd be kinda awkward.

Appraisal Vs Resignation

2007-09-06T18:02:00.000+08:00

A newly-joined trainee engineer asks his boss
" What is the meaning of appraisal ? "
Boss : " Do you know the meaning of resignation ? "
Trainee : " Yes, I do. "
Boss : " So let me make you understand what an appraisal is by comparing it with resignation. "

Appraisal vs Resignation
In an appraisal meeting they will speak only about your weakness, errors and failures.
In a resignation meeting they will speak only about your strengths, past achievements and success.

During an appraisal you may need to cry and beg for even a 10% pay hike.
In a resignation meeting you can easily demand ( or get more without asking more than 50-60% pay-hike !

During an appraisal, they will deny promotion saying that you did not meet the expectation, you don't have leadership qualities, and that you had several drawbacks in reaching objective/goal.
During resignation, they'll say you are the core member of the team; that you are the vision of the company, and so " How can you go ? "; you have to take the project on your shoulders and lead your juniors to success.

There is a 90% chance of not getting any significant incentives after appraisal.
There is a 90% chance of getting an immediate pay-hike after you put in your resignation.

Trainee : " Yes, boss, good enough. Now I know what to do. When you are about to do my appraisal, I will resign. "

Yaaa…sure! But if you feel that you can do this, company will gladly fulfill it!!! Coz u are nobody….!

Clever engineers....

Protokol ke 10 Yahudi mengandungi 8 perkara

2007-09-06T17:12:00.003+08:00

Protokol ke 10 Yahudi mengandungi 8 perkara

1.. Song....

Lagu-lagu yang menghiburkan. .jika ada anak-anak yang tak tau mengucap..tetapi boleh menghafal lagu Hindustan yang panjang berjela... Ada anak-anak yang tak hafal Fatihah....tapi boleh mengingati lagu Siti Norhaliza yang panjangnya berdepa depa..... berjaya sudah Yahudi.... Hinggakita terfikir.... . bagaimana jadinya radio kalau tanpa lagu?

2. ....Sex.....

Lagi satu kegilaan remaja dan yang tua. Sex dimana-mana. .di kaca tv, dalam filem, dalam iklan...babak sex amat lumrah.. kekadang adegan sex tak diperlukan, tetapi diselitkan jua sehingga ada orang menonton filem hanya kerana ada adegan sex... filem 18SX amat laris berbanding filem U...VCD lucah mudah didapati...dan harganya amat murah...Adakah filem yang tiada adegan sex? Lagi sekali berjaya sungguh Yahudi laknatullah. .....

3. ....Smoke... .

Rokok..menjadi kegilaan para remaja...sehingga dikatakan tidak modern jika tidak merokok...malah sekarang merokok menjadi budaya bagi mana- mana perempuan yang kononnya mau di gelar "up to date"..Dulu yang merokok ini golongan pelacur saja....ataupun penari kabaret....( aku tengok dari filem P Ramlee )....Syabas yahudi...berjaya lagi kamu....

4. ....Sport...

Pelbagai jenis sukan di tonjolkan dan lelaki dengan perempuan sama-sama berlumba mencari nama dalam sukan...hinggakan sekarang bola sepak pun perempuan main juga.. ..Bila bersukan, tutup aurat mestilah jauh sekali, sembahyang pun banyak yang miss....bukan yang bermain sahaja tak sembahyang.. .yang menonton pun tak sembahyang juga ...... Kalau menonton dirumah...akan lambat sembahyang sebab takut tak nampak macam mana masuk GOL....

Yahudi gol lagi......sampai ada ulamak kata...kerana sukan..sembahyang boleh tangguh...Mashaalla h,..

5. .. Fun..

Hiburan...dimana- mana kita dapat hiburan yang melalaikan.. .. Kalau kita lihat dalam 100 majalah..mungkin 99 adalah majalah hiburan..

termasuklah majalah MANGGA...yang menayangkan buah mangga artis perempuan... . Kalau ada konsert....sanggup orang Islam bertandang hingga menghabiskan banyak wang dan bila ke konsert....pelbagai maksiat akan diselit masuk.... Yahudi terhibur lagi....

6.... Female...

Perempuan... tawaran Yahudi yang amat mengasyikkan. .terutama dalam iklan..yang kadang-kadang tidak ada kena mengena dengan perempuan... Kalau kita ke kedai bateri kereta....

dihadapan bateri terpampang gadis sunti separuh bogel beraksi...apa kena mengena bateri kereta dengan perempuan?.. . kalau iklan Modess...perempuan adalah patutnya... Yahudi bersorak lagi.....

7...Fashion. ...

Fesyen terutama perempuan yang bermacam- macam..sehinggakan kalau pakai tudung pun mereka dah tak menutup aurat.... Macam mana dikatakan bertutup aurat jika bertudung tetapi berbaju ketat yang kekadang menampakkan pusat? Yang mewarnakan rambut lagi teruklah...Buat apa bertudung kalau rambut diwarnakan.. ..Bila warnakan rambut..mestilah tidak bertudung sebab kalau bertudung..bagaiman a nak menayangkan warna rambut yang terkini itu...Kalau dah rambut di warnakan... sembahyang pun tak sah...malah mandi hadas pun tak sah sebab kebanyakan pewarna adalah kalis air... Yahudi ketawa lagi....Umat islam sudah jadi macam Yahudi....

8. .. Food..Makanan. .

Lagi satu kegilaan Umat Islam terutama makanan dari Barat termasukalah MC D, Kentucky , Pizza hut...dan seribu satu macam lagi...Buah kurma yang menjadi makanan Rasulullah di pandang hina....masuk rumah pun setahun sekali bila bulan Ramadan...tapi makanan Barat menjadi kebanggaan.. .Bila makanan datang dari Barat..adakah kita yakin tentang halalnya? Contoh Kentucky ...rempahnya datang dari Amerika.... siapa nak pergi check...halal ke tidak? Bila makan benda haram, masakan iman menjadi mantap... Maka lahirlah Umat Islam yang bukan perangai saja macam yahudi...tetapi berfikiran pun macam yahudi...Nauzubilla h.....Yahudi makan Islam lagi...

Itu baru protokol yang ke 10......yang lain-lain entah macam-macam lagi.... aku cinta Malaysia .....tapi lebih cintakan ALLAH....... .... oleh itu, jika berlaku pertembungan antara kepentingan manusia dengan kepentingan Allah......

Di sini caranya bagaimana memeriksa selinder gas LPG :
Di salah satu sisi selinder gas expiry date akan dikodkan secara
alpha-numerical seperti berikut;
A , B , C atau D diikuti dua digit, contohnya D06.
Huruf bermaksud suku ke berapa dalam satu tahun -
A utk March ( Suku pertama ),
B utk June (Suku kedua ),
C utk Sept ( Suku ketiga ), &
D utk December ( Suku keempat ).

2 digit itu pula menunjukkan sehingga tahun berapa selinder itu
selamat digunakan

Jadi D06 bermaksud selamat digunakan sehingga December 2006.

Subject: USA & European countries banned on OREO cookies consumption!!!
Dear OREO Luvers,

For those who can't read Mandarin, here is the translated version of the article attached below:

OREO CONTAINING TRANS FAT BRINGS DAMAGES TO HEALTH

An attorney fromCalifornia filed a lawsuit against Krafts, stating that OREO produced by the company not only causes damages in health, but also dishonestly promote their products; requesting the company to halt the sales of OREO in the market.

OREO contains hydrogenated oil or Trans fats, to prolong the storage of the biscuit, but at the mean time increase the consumption of BAD CHOLESTEROL, increasing the possibility of diabetes and heart disease.

INCREASE IN CONSUMPTION OF CHOLESTEROL

Although the research on Trans Fats affecting health has not been concluded, the national institute of science research states that any amount of Trans Fats consumed is not safe.

SEVEN WONDERS OF MALAYSIA

2007-09-05T16:23:00.004+08:00

SEVEN WONDERS OF MALAYSIA

Organisers have recently announced that they have elected the
seven new wonders of the world. The finalists include Great Wall
of China and Taj Mahal. Not to be outdone here in Bodohland, our
Prime Minister follows up with an announcement of our very own 7
wonders.

1. THE ZAKARIA 'PALACE'

The only building built with no approval and unpaid assessment
fees that is not demolished and sealed. The owner is the first
bankrupt to be able to own a palace.

2. THE 'BOCOR' PARLIAMENT

The unique feature is its ability to 'leak' away billions of
taxpayers money while the guardians of the nation stood there all
wet.

3. 'UNHAUNTED' KUCHING PRISON

The only $600M prison in this world that is free of haunted
stories and encounters. Reasons No execution was done here before.
In fact no prisoners were held in here. There are also no concrete

walls with barbed wires to contain souls - both dead and alive.
Maybe it can qualify as the first imaginary prison built with real

money.

4. PAYA INDAH 'WASTED' WETLANDS

The nation's premier eco-tourism park holds the record in the
category of attracting more lawyers with litigation than tourists
with binoculars.

5. 'NOT SO' SMART TUNNEL

Uniquely design to alleviate floods. When completed, it does
everything except alleviate floods.

6. 'DISCONNECTED' CYBERJAYA

The one and only high tech city in the world that offers limited
or no internet connection to its residents.

7. CROOKED 'CROOKED' BRIDGE

The most crooked bridge in the world dreamt by the most crooked
person in the world. Too bad it was abandoned; otherwise it will
make it as one of the wonders.

There are other entries that make the writer 'wondering', but fall

short to qualify as one of seven wonders in the writer's mind. An
extra:

'ABSCONDING' BRICKENDONBURY FACILITY

Extremely well-planned facility to prepare young athletes for the
Summer Olympics in a winter country. Too bad it is located
overseas, thus automatically disqualifying it as one of
Bodohland's wonders.

Antara sebabnya apabila dibuat kajian ialah kuman-kuman ini sebenarnya datang dari babi-babi di Amerika, yang menjangkiti tentera-tentera Amerika pada Perang Dunia I. Dan tentera-tentera ini seterusnya membawa wabak ini ke merata tempat di pelbagai negara di seluruh dunia.

Dikatakan jumlah kematian berlaku dalam tempoh yang singkat dan wabak ini pada ketika itu adalah antara wabak yang membawa kematian yang cukup besar jika dibandingkan dengan lain-lain wabak penyakit moden pada masa itu. Dan setelah dibuat kajian terperinci, ternyata punca wabak ini adalah daripada kuman virus yang datangnya daripada babi.

Pada tahun 1957 satu wabak yang dinamakan sebagai Asian Flu dan juga wabak yang menyerang Hong Kong pada tahun 1968 adalah berkemungkinan berpunca daripada binatang ternakan, sebelum ianya menjangkiti babi. Di dalama babi pula, virus ini berubah kepada bentuk yang lebih berbahaya, sebelum ianya menjangkiti manusia. wabak-wabak ini telah meragut nyawa lebih 2 juta orang. (source: Sun 26 Mac 2000, The 1918 Flu Pandemic: What Have We Learned From This? pg 1, iafrica.com/ ) Betul ke virus boleh berubah dalam bentuk yang lebih bahaya di dalam khinzir?

Jawapan kepada soalan ini telah dijawab oleh Alex Fano, pengarang sebuah buku terkenal Lethal Laws - Animal Testing, Human Health and Environmental Policy. Beliau juga adalah Pengarah Medical Research Modernisation Committee. Di dalam buku tersebut, beliau telah mengesahkan, kuman-kuman virus daripada babi ini mampu berubah dan menjadi lebih berbahaya atau mutations, daripada semasa ke semasa.

Manakala di sekitar tahun 50an pula, kita dikejutkan dengan cacing trichina daripada babi yang menjadi penyebab kepada penyakit trichinusis. Tidak ada ubat yang boleh mennyembuhkannya pada ketika itu. Dan oleh kerana itu, satu amaran telah dikeluarkan di Amerika tentang bahaya memakan daging babi. Amaran tersebut telah dikeluarkan di Washington Post bertarikh 31 Mei 1952 dan dikeluarkan oleh Dr. Glen Shepard. [Source : Washington Post , 31 Mei 1952 ]

Virus-Virus Daripada Khinzir

Ternyata amaran yang dikeluarkan daripada firman Allah telah mula dapat disyukuri oleh mereka-mereka yang beriman dan mentaati perintahNya. Pelbagai kajian mula dibuat secara lebih terperinci.

Di dalam Journal of Virology 1997, dilaporkan kajian yang dilakukan oleh 12 orang pakar-pakar sains yang diketuai oleh Dr. Yoshihiro Kawaoka, dari Universiti Wisconsin. Pertemuan mereka jelas menunjukkan, pada kerongkong babi ada sel-sel tertentu yang mampu mengubah pelbagai kuman virus kepada bentuk yang berbahaya kepada manusia. Saintis- saintis menganggap babi sebagai mixing vessel atau 'tempat pelbagai kuman dikumpulkan untuk diubah kepada bentuk yang berbahaya'.

Di dalam BBC News pula, pada 29 Oktober 1999, telah memfokuskan penemuan para saintis yang menunjukkan, virus babi menjadi punca berlakunya wabak-wabak yang paling teruk di dalam sejarah dunia perubatan moden pada tahun 1918. Saintis-saintis mendapati wabak-wabak yang menyerang Hong Kong pada tahun 1968 juga berpunca daripada virus babi. [source: bbc.co.uk/hi/english/health/newsid_489000/489385.htm ]

Mengikut kajian itu juga, virus binatang yang biasanya tak menjangkiti manusia bertukar menjadi kuman yang berbahaya yang menjangkiti manusia, selepas memasuki sel-sel di dalam babi ini. Penemuan ini mampi memberi jawapan kepada punca empat wabak penyakit demam selsema flu yang menyerang dan membunuh jutaan manusia pada abad ke 20.

Penyakit-penyakit ini bermula dengan serangan Spanish flu pada 1918, diikuti Asian flu pada tahun 1957 dan Hong Kong flu pada 1968 dan Russian flu pada 1977. Kajian-kajian oleh saintis ini menunjukkan kuman-kuman pembunuh ini dikeluarkan oleh babi sebelum menjangkiti manusia sejagat, terutamanya pada tahun 1918.

Menurut Dr. Virginia Hinshaw pula, Dekan di Graduate School University Wisconsin-Madison, virus sentiasa berubah kepada bentuk lain dan babi merupakan suatu takungan yang mampu mengubah virus flu kepada bentuk yang lain dan sistem pertahanan manusia tidak mampu untuk menangkis daripada serangan-serangan ini.

Pada bulan November 1997 pula, Dr. Robinson Weiss daripada Chester Beatty Laboratory, London mengesahkan kewujudan virus PERVS di dalam babi dan ini menyebabkan Kerajaan British mengharamkan kesemua aktiviti pembedahan pemindahan alat/organ daripada babi kepada manusia.

Sebelum itu pada bulan Ogos 1997 pula, saintis-saintis dari Australia telah menemui satu lagi virus dari binatang ini. Ia amat bahaya kepada manusia dan belum pernah ditemui dan dikenali sebagai virus menangle daripada kumpulan paramyxovirus.

Kolam ikan babi rebus

Oleh Sulaiman Salleh

SEREMBAN: Segelintir penternak ikan dekat Sikamat di sini, menggunakan daging babi yang direbus sebagai makanan tambahan kepada ikan yang diternak untuk membolehkan ikan cepat membesar.

Perbuatan penternak terbabit dilakukan sejak beberapa tahun lalu tetapi perbuatan itu sukar dibuktikan kerana dilakukan secara sembunyi.

Seorang penduduk, Mohamad Hazli Othman, 25, berkata dia mengetahui perbuatan penternak ikan terbabit kira-kira setahun lalu tetapi dia tidak mempunyai bukti untuk mengukuhkan anggapannya itu.

Katanya, sebelum ini dipercayai penternak ikan itu sembunyikan perbuatan itu dengan merebus daging babi beberapa meter dari kolam ikan.

"Perbuatan penternak terbabit semakin berani apabila beberapa hari lalu secara terbuka merebus daging babi berdekatan dengan kolam ikannya," katanya di tempat kejadian, petang semalam.

Mohamad berkata, perbuatan penternak ikan itu merebus daging babi itu boleh dilihat dari jalan utama kerana kolam ikan itu hanya beberapa meter dari jalan utama.

"Ketika ditanya mengenai perbuatannya itu, penternak terbabit memberitahu bahawa ternakan terbabit untuk pasaran Singapura," katanya ketika ditemui di tempat kejadian.

Katanya, disyaki ikan itu untuk pasaran tempatan kerana jumlah ikan yang diternak hanya beberapa kolam dan tidak sesuai untuk dieksport.

Tinjauan Harian Metro di kolam ikan yang hanya beberapa meter dari jalan utama itu mendapati terdapat sisa daging babi yang sudah direbus.

Terdapat juga sisa kulit babi berdekatan dengan bekas yang diletakkan bersebelahan dengan kolam ikan.

Bau busuk sisa bangkai babi juga boleh dihidu beberapa meter dari bekas khas yang digunakan untuk merebus bangkai haiwan yang haram bagi masyarakat Islam itu.

Menurut Mohamad, dia sudah memberitahu Jabatan Agama Islam Negeri Sembilan tetapi sehingga petang semalam belum ada tindakan diambil untuk mengelakkan ikan itu dijual kepada masyarakat Islam.

"Perbuatan penternak ikan itu perlu dihentikan kerana penduduk Singapura yang beragama Islam juga berhak mendapatkan bekalan ikan yang halal dimakan," katanya.

Katanya, pihak penguat kuasa terbabit perlu bertindak tegas untuk memastikan ikan yang diternak itu tidak dijual kepada masyarakat Islam.

Daging babi direbus dalam bekas khas sebelum diberikan kepada ikan yang diternak di Sikamat.

Kajian menunjukkan bangsa Yahudi semakin pupus

2007-09-05T16:09:00.004+08:00

Oleh Nurul Adlina Kamaludin

KETIKA dunia terus menyaksikan sandiwara Israel yang tidak berkesudahan bagi menjejaskan proses damai di bumi Palestin, ada satu lagi isu yang memeningkan Perdana Menteri Ehud Olmert dan pemimpin kumpulan pelobi utama Yahudi di negara lain.

Ia tiada kaitan dengan nasib penduduk Palestin yang terus dianiayai atau taktik terbaru memperkotak katikkan pemimpin tertentu Palestin dan Arab yang terus menjadi buah catur permainan licik rejim Zionis.

Sebaliknya, ia menyentuh isu lebih penting iaitu kelangsungan bangsa Yahudi, kewujudan Israel sebagai negara mutlak penganut Yahudi dan persepsi bangsa itu di mata dunia.

Masalah itu ibarat barah yang melenyapkan kelangsungan bangsa yang biarpun nampak hebat, tetapi goyah dari segi bilangan penduduknya. Biarpun kelihatan kuat, hakikatnya, Israel terpaksa bergantung harap kepada simpati dunia menerusi peristiwa Holocaust dan bantuan Amerika Syarikat.

Kawin campur punca Yahudi pupus

Kemelut utamanya adalah masalah kurangnya zuriat bagi meneruskan keturunan Yahudi ini, seperti dipaparkan kajian kumpulan pelobi utama Yahudi, The Jewish Agency menerusi Institut Perancangan Dasar dan Penduduk Yahudi yang diketuai tokoh akademik, Profesor Yechezkel Dror.

Kajian institut berpejabat di Baitulmaqdis yang menyentuh keadaan semasa dan masa depan Yahudi, antara lain mendedahkan bilangan penduduk Yahudi di seluruh dunia kini susut 25 peratus sejak 1970. Ia disebabkan kadar kelahiran rakyatnya yang rendah dan peningkatan perkahwinan campur, di dalam dan luar Israel. Statistik 2006 menunjukkan penduduk Yahudi mencecah 13 juta.

Pada 1939, ada 17 juta penduduk Yahudi di dunia dan ia makin berkurangan sejak 40 tahun lalu. Jika keadaan berterusan, masyarakat Yahudi mungkin terus berkurangan atau semakin ‘pupus’ pada 2080.

Israel mahu menjadi negara mutlak Yahudi dunia seawal 2020 dan menempatkan bilangan penduduk Yahudi paling ramai di dunia menjelang 2050, sama ada menerusi kelahiran baru atau pun penghijrahan penganut Yahudi dari luar.

Namun, berdasarkan perkembangan semasa, harapan Israel mungkin sukar dicapai.

Negara yang hebat dalam ketenteraan, perubatan, kewangan, perdagangan, taktik politik, pelobi, licik dan pembunuh anak Palestin dan Lubnan, kini ketandusan bayi atau zuriat bagi meneruskan kelangsungan bangsa Yahudi.

Lebih sukar, ia turut berdepan krisis identiti diri. Ada penganut Yahudi malu mendedahkan identiti sebenar kerana bimbang menjadi sasaran bukan saja daripada masyarakat Islam, tetapi masyarakat lain yang memandang sinis kepada Yahudi.

Kaum Yahudi digambarkan sebagai kaki ampu, memonopoli kuasa ekonomi dunia dan tidak setia, seperti dibuktikan hasil tinjauan terbaru di enam negara Eropah, yang diumumkan Selasa lalu.

Kesetiaan orang Yahudi diragui

Separuh responden dalam kajian di Austria, Belgium, Britain, Hungary, Belanda dan Switzerland secara terang-terang meragui kesetiaan penduduk Yahudi yang dilihat lebih setia kepada Israel berbanding negara tumpangan mereka.

Tinjauan kumpulan pelobi Yahudi Anti-Defamation League (ADL) juga menunjukkan 34.5 peratus yakin Yahudi menguasai sektor kewangan dan perniagaan dunia. Tidak cukup dengan itu, 43 peratus lain berpendapat bangsa Yahudi terlalu banyak bercakap mengenai peristiwa Holocaust yang didakwa pembunuhan berjuta-juta Yahudi oleh Nazi ketika Perang Dunia Kedua.

Kajian itu menunjukkan peningkatan sikap antiSemitik yang lebih ketara, berbanding tinjauan sebelumnya pada 2005 dan Hungary adalah negara paling tinggi memaparkan sikap antiSemitik berbanding negara Eropah yang lain.

“Kami bimbang apabila mendapati peratusan besar responden dan majoriti di Austria, Hungary dan Switzerland yang yakin penduduk Yahudi Amerika Syarikat mengawal dasar Washington ke atas Asia Barat,” kata Pengarah ADL Abraham Foxman.

Beliau menyifatkan perkembangan itu amat membimbangkan kerana masih ramai rakyat Eropah meragui penduduk Yahudi, sedangkan ia sepatutnya sudah terkubur selepas kejatuhan pengaruh komunis.

Hakikatnya, biarpun rakyat Hungary paling syak wasangka terhadap bangsa Yahudi dan Israel, Britain – sekutu AS yang juga rakan baik Israel, terbukti lebih lantang.

Bayangkan dalam masa tidak sampai setahun saja, tokoh akademik, wartawan, arkitek, doktor dan terbaru pekerja pengangkutannya menerusi kesatuan masing-masing yang mencecah hampir sejuta anggota, melancarkan usaha memboikot Israel atas kekejaman rejim Zionis itu terhadap penduduk Palestin.

Wang imbuhan berpindah ke Israel

Ia bermula April lalu apabila Kesatuan Wartawan Kebangsaan Britain, menyokong usaha pemulauan barang Israel. Sebulan berikutnya, Kesatuan Arkitek dan Perancang Britain menyelar rakan profesional mereka di Israel kerana menyertai projek pembinaan negara Yahudi di wilayah Palestin yang dicerobohi. Kesatuan Universiti dan Kolej (UCU) yang juga persatuan terbesar pensyarah institusi pendidik Britain, pula menyokong tindakan kesatuan sekerja Palestin memulaukan ahli akademik dan pusat pengajian tinggi Israel. Terbaru, Kesatuan Pekerja Pengangkutan yang juga antara yang terbesar di negara Barat itu, memboikot semua produk Israel.

Perkembangan itu sudah pasti diberi tumpuan pentadbiran Olmert dan sekutunya, Presiden George W Bush.

Di Iran, masyarakat Yahudi menolak tawaran wang tunai sehingga £30,000 (RM210,000) bagi setiap keluarga untuk berpindah ke Israel, seperti didedahkan akhbar Guardian, Rabu lalu.

Siapa sangka di sebalik kehebatan Israel, ada hakikat suram sedang membelenggu mereka. Hakikat ibarat barah yang mengancam kelangsungan bangsa Yahudi dalam bentuk kekurangan zuriat serta pengaruhnya yang makin suram pada peringkat antarabangsa.

Apa guna kuasa, wang, pengaruh dan kehebatan tentera jika pada kesudahannya Israel dan bangsa Yahudi makin pupus. Harian Metro
