1) Tindakan pihak Majlis Peguam menganjur Seksualiti Merdeka 2011 baru - baru ini jelas merupakan tindakan yang bertujuan menjolok sarang tebuan bagi menguji kesabaran orang Melayu terhadap hak mereka dalam perlembagaan persekutuan.
2) Perbuatan LGBT jelas bertentangan dengan fitrah manusia dan ajaran semua agama termasuklah Islam. Memandangkan Islam merupakan agama rasmi negara, perbuatan pihak Majlis Peguam jelas bertujuan untuk mencabar kedaulatan Islam dalam perlembagaan persekutuan.
3) Perbuatan menjolok sarang tebuan tersebut juga bertujuan untuk menguji atau "test market" yang mempunyai niat politik bagi mendapat sokongan daripada golongan minoriti LGBT. Maka tidak hairanlah terdapat beberapa NGO dan beberapa orang Melayu melatah dan berdemontrasi mengutuk program tersebut.
4) Memandangkan orang Melayu dan Islam mendapat tempat istimewa dalam perlembagaan persekutuan, pihak majlis peguam jelas cemburu dengan hak - hak keistimewaan orang Melayu ini. Maka pihak Majlis Peguam yang dikuasai oleh golongan bukan Melayu ini, berusaha sedaya upaya dan mencari ikhtiar untuk mencabar, malah kalau boleh menghapus terus hak - hak tersebut. Perbuatan menganjur program ini merupakan salah satu daripada usaha - usaha pihak Majlis Peguam.
5) Aku tidak berniat untuk mencampuri hak setiap manusia untuk melakukan dosa atau pahala terhadap Tuhan, walaupun perbuatan mereka jelas bertentangan dengan Islam. Pada aku LGBT tetap seorang Islam, jika akidah dan iman mereka masih kukuh terhadap Allah SWT dan mengakui Nabi Muhammad SAW itu pesuruh Allah. Dosa mereka terhadap Allah, biarlah mereka yang menanggungnya.
6) Tetapi perbuatan menganjurkan program Seksualiti Merdeka 2011 tersebut jelas bertentangan dengan undang - undang dan perlembagaan Malaysia, suatu perbuatan yang jelas mencabar hak majoriti rakyat Malaysia. Maka atas sebab tersebutlah aku menentang penganjuran program tersebut yang jelas bertujuan politik.
7) Pihak Majlis Peguam dan DAP sedar tentang implikasi pepecahan orang Melayu ini, mereka akan melakukan apa sahaja untuk memastikan orang Melayu terus berpecah agar cita - cita politik mereka tercapai. Percayalah orang Melayu dan Islam akan musnah suatu hari nanti jika kita terus berpecah jika anasir - anasir dan ajen pemecah belah orang Melayu seperti PKR dan AI, DAP, PAS dan Majlis Peguam dibiarkan terus bermaharaja lela.
8) Orang Melayu tidak akan kembali dapat hak - hak istimewa ini jika ditakdirkan terlepas suatu hari nanti. Orang Melayu harus bersyukur kerana perlembagaan kita bukan perlembagaan sekular seperti yang terdapat di negara - negara lain termasuklah negara jiran kita yang serumpun dengan kita, dimana majoriti rakyatnya beragama Islam. Oleh itu tidak hairanlah pemimpin - pemimpin negara tersebut tidak mampu mempertahankan akidah saudara seIslam sendiri daripada serangan pihak - pihak kafir dan beberapa pertubuhan sesat yang bertapak kukuh di negara tersebut. Mereka tidak mampu melakukan apa - apa memandangkan perlembagaan dan undang - undang negara mereka bersifat sekular.
9) Adakah orang Melayu Malaysia ingin jadi seperti saudara mereka di negara tersebut? Tepuk dada tanyalah selera.

Centrum Multi-Vitamin
1) Its been several years that I have consumed Centrum multi vitamin. Only recently, to my surprise, the sales assitant of Guardian farmacy had told me, that this Centrum that I have been consumed was contained with porcine and borcine gelatin's.
2) I am neither sure nor unsure that JAKIM knew this matter. It will not be surprised if JAKIM would someday declared this multi vitamin as HARAM.
3) From my understanding, porcine is gelatin that was extracted from pig, while borcine is gelatin that was extracted from cow. As you know, pig was considered HARAM to eat by Muslim Since before this I wasn't knew that this centrum contained by these gelatines, I assume, I am free from sins [only GOD knows].
4) These are the polemics that baffle most Muslims in Malaysia since the authorities like JAKIM started to implement the law of God. When one has committed adultery in enclosed area i.e. hotel etc, is a sin between him to God. Unless the sin was committed in public area, thus the JAKIM has every right to implement their jurisdiction.
5) Even if, this Centrum multi vitamin does not contained porcine but still contained borcine, aren't this Centrum still HALAL? If HALAL, how JAKIM verify this? The questions of how it was extracted from cow also need to be defined and clarified. The method of how cow being slaughtered, whether it's according to Islamic law or syarak must be defined too.
6) This Centrum originated from Canada, therefore JAKIM need to go round the globe to verify the methods of manufacturing of every multi-vitamins imported to Malaysia, as whether it's according to Islamic law or not. I have a strong believe that most of these multi-vitamins were manufactured by non Muslims countries. So how JAKIM going to do about it.
7) The true values of Islam being "Mudah" or easy was neglected by the body who should represent its. That body that makes simple things complicated.
8) The same thing also happen to most of our community, when a friend of mine, whose son was embroiled in disciplinary issue. Problem started when the discipline teacher c/w religious teacher began to be JAKIM in school, a someone who think was held responsible by God to implement the law of God.
9) What JAKIM going to says about the news exposed by OutSyed The Box about Tabasco Halal In Mecca. Tabasco was proclaimed HARAM in Malaysia, but in the country where our prophet was born, where all Muslims performing their pilgrimage and being look up to as a true Islamic country. How JAKIM going to answer this?

Muammar Gaddafi & Democracy
1) English phrase says what goes around come around, this is what happen to Muammar Gaddafi, when egoism start to pull himself from the facts that his people are no longer behind him. For over 42 years of so-called tyrannic or dictatorship rule of Muammar Gaddafi, the people of Libya dares to rebel against him in searching of so-called democracy.
2) In order to lay down democracy in Libya, the Libyan chosen un-democratic manner by killing Muammar Gaddafi, overlook the democratic process of putting the accussed into trial before sentenced to death or whatever.
3) In the hope of democracy people tend to forget what is democracy all about and how it works. To my best understanding, democracy is nothing if its people are suffering from its. Its better to put it off and accepted dictatorian rule or communism if its can benefit its people. The democracy or whatever names, invented to works for the people not the other way round.
4) In order for democracy to works, first of all, one need to install stability in its country. The people also need to be instilled with true values of democracy and process has to be gradually. Otherwise, the state of anarchy may return and that state will never forever be in peaceful order.
5) China is one clear example of what Deng Xiaoping says "I dont care if its a white or black cat. Its a good cat as long as it chatches mice". In other words one need to understand the true meaning or its purpose. China started to accept democracy in gradual manner whiles keeping the good values of communism intact. In the end, the country and its people benefited from its. Being a good system, its has to be in practical manner. As a doctor always did, to chop-off one hand to save one life, why not.
6) The questions of whether democracy could bring good to Libyan people or not, is lies in the wisdom of its leader. I hope the fate that was befell to Muammar Gaddafi would not happen to whoever chose as Libyan leader. Only time will tell.

Perjuangan Ikhlas
1) Baru - baru ini aku berkesempatan bertemu dengan Datuk Idris ketika menghadiri suatu program majlis sambutan hari raya Kelab Chedet bersama Tun Dr. Mahathir. Ia merupakan pertemuan singkat yang berlaku secara kebetulan sahaja.
2) Datuk Idris yang dikenali melalui mulut saudara Najieb Mokhtar, merupakan seorang pejuang yang jujur dalam perjuangannya - perjuangan dalam mempertahankan dan memartabatkan bangsa, agama dan negara. Beliau yang dikenali merupakan seorang yang "behind the scenes" ketika era Tun Dr. Mahathir menjadi PM dan merupakan seorang yang rendah diri.
3) Ini dapat dipastikan ketika beliau datang ke majlis tersebut tanpa dikenali, beliau terus pergi ke meja belakang untuk mendapatkan tempat, berebut bersama dengan hadirin yang lain. Nasib baik aku agak mengenali beliau walaupun pada mulanya agak kabur jugak. Selepas disapa dan diajak ke tempat VIP di hadapan, beliau pada mula keberatan, namun akhirnya bersetuju untuk duduk di meja VIP di hadapan. Maka benarlah bahawa beliau merupakan seorang yang rendah diri, tidak kisah di mana perlu duduk, tidak seperti sesetengah orang yang begitu memillih dan berasakan diri hanya layak duduk di tempat tertentu dan yang disukai sahaja. Sedangkan setiap umat Islam sama sahaja di sisi Allah yang maha adil, tidak kira kaya atau miskin, tua atau muda, semuanya sama, tak lebih dan tak kurang.
4) Sikap beliau yang low profile kadang - kadang membuatkan orang ramai tidak mengenali beliau, tetapi tanpa disedari beliau telah memberikan sumbangan yang amat besar kepada negara. Aku pun kira bernasib baik jugak kerana sahabat baik ku sudi menceritakan perihal mengenai beliau, kalau tidak aku pun sama dengan orang lain - yang tak mengenali beliau. Terima kasih saudara Najieb.
5) Pada aku, jika kita benar - benar jujur dan ikhlas dalam perjuangan serta tawaduk, kita akan kekal lama dalam setiap perjuangan kita. Tun Dr. Mahathir dan Datuk Idris adalah salah satu contoh baik. Bila kita memperjuangkan untuk menaikkan diri, bukannya atas dasar pejuangan yang kita dasari atau percaya, perjuangan tersebut tidak akan kekal lama.
6) Lalu aku teringat pertemuan dengan sepupu ku yang datang ke KL dari Melaka baru - baru ini. Kami ada berbual tentang polemik politik negara ketika ini, masalah yang masih berkarat dalam bahagian UMNO Sungai Petani. Politik cantas mencantas yang masih berlaku di dalam bahagian UMNO Sungai Petani, yang jelas merencatkan proses pemulihan UMNO. Perjuangan diri yang melebihi perjuangan parti, yang akhirnya menghancurkan UMNO. Walaupun PRU12 yang lalu jelas merupakan wake-up call kepada pemimpin - pemimpin UMNO dan ahli - ahli UMNO, malangnya pemimpin dan ahli UMNO ini masih belum belajar dari pengajaran pahit tersebut.
7) Seperti yang aku telah jelaskan kepada beliau ketika dalam pertemuan tersebut, pemimpin - pemimpin ini jelas menggunakan UMNO sebagai vehicle untuk mendapatkan kuasa dan wang bagi memenuhi sifat tamak dan bangga dalam diri.
8) Ia mengingatkan kami kepada nasib yang berlaku kepada Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz, yang gagal mempertahankan jawatan ketua wanita UMNO kepada Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil dalam pemilihan parti yang lalu. Kami berpendapat, kesilapan strategi Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz ialah apabila beliau menyatakan akan meletakkan jawatan ketua wanita UMNO dalam jangka masa 2 atau 3 tahun selepas menang dalam pemilihan tersebut. Ini jelas merupakan kesilapan besar yang mempengaruhi undi akar umbi kepada beliau pada pemilihan tersebut. Ia jelas merendahkan hak dan kepercayaan pengundi kepada beliau.
9) Sentimen yang terhasil daripada kenyataan tersebut adalah apabila akar umbi merasakan kepercayaan yang diberi tidak dihargai kerana jawatan ketua wanita UMNO merupakan jawatan yang dipilih bukannya yang dilantik. Malah masalah akan timbul jika jawatan tersebut dikosongkan kelak apabila Tan Sri Rafidah letak jawatan, siapa pulak yang akan memangku jawatan timbalan ketua wanita? Situasi masa dan keadaan jelas tidak sesuai kepada UMNO khususnya wanita UMNO yang amat memerlukan kepimpinan yang kukuh sebelum PRU13 nanti.
10) Satu lagi faktor yang aku rasakan kebanyakan kita terlepas pandang ialah percaturan Tan Sri Rafidah untuk melepaskan jawatan ketika diri masih lagi diperlukan seperti yang berlaku kepada Tun Dr. Mahathir pada 2002 dahulu. Jelas di sini TSRA lebih mengutamakan nama beliau agar kekal disanjungi sehingga beliau melepaskan jawatan mahupun selama lamanya. Ini bukanlah perjuangan yang ikhlas, perjuangan yang ikhlas adalah perjuangan yang jujur yang tidak mengharapkan apa - apa balasan pun. Balasan hanya akan datang atas kehendakNya.
11) Contoh yang dapat dilihat ialah Mother Theresa yang terkenal sebagai seorang yang membuat sesuatu tanpa mengharapkan sesuatu balasan, malah Tun Dr. Mahathir pun boleh dijadikan contoh, mereka tidak takut diri dibuang atau dipadam dalam memori masyarakat serta tidak takut dipandang serong atau buruk kerana diri mempunyai kepercayaan yang teguh dan yakin terhadap perjuangan masing - masing. TDM pernah berkata, biarlah sejarah mengadili beliau. Niat ikhlas seseorang hanya dapat dilihat setelah melihat hasil kerjanya. Namun begitu ia bergantung kepada siapa dan bagaimana seseorang tersebut yang melihatnya. Kalau dilihat seperti Mat Sabu melihat sejarah tragedi Bukit Kepong, maka hasilnya akan menjadi sebaliknya.
12) Sejarah Cleopatra juga boleh dijadikan teladan, beliau yang mempergunakan Julius Ceasar untuk merebut kuasa dari suaminya Ptolemy XIV yang juga sedarah sedaging dan juga menggunakan Mark Antony untuk kekal ditampuk kuasa. Akhirnya beliau sendiri terpaksa menamatkan riwayat beliau ketika berada diambang kejatuhan, wallahhualam.
13) Begitu jugalah dengan Pak Lah yang cuba mencari jalan untuk dikenang sebagai PM Malaysia dengan memansuhkan beberapa projek yang telah diluluskan oleh kepimpinan terdahulu beliau, malah ada yang telah dibatalkan terus walaupun kerja sudah dijalankan. Beliau memutuskan untuk membatalkan projek jambatan bengkok di Johor yang telah diilhamkan oleh kepimpinan terdahulu, tetapi sebaliknya, membina jambatan baru yang ke-2 bagi menghubungkan Pulau Pinang dengan tanah besar. Tetapi peliknya rakyat Pulau Pinang tidak pula memberi hadiah kemenangan kepada beliau ketika PRU12 dahulu, sebaliknya rakyat Johor tetap setia memberi sokongan dengan kekal menjadi save deposit kepada BN/UMNO.
14) Kesimpulannya di sini, bila kita tidak jujur dengan membuat sesuatu dengan harapan mencari nama, tidak akan kekal lama. Contoh yang telah dijelaskan di atas boleh dijadikan panduan.

ISA
1) The main problem with most of the people are judge the book by its cover. Failed to articulate the things happen rasionally and wisely, which consequently would fustrate us from reaching the ultimate truth.
2) This is what happen to most of us when DS Najib announced to abrogate ISA. As a substitution to it, 2 new laws will be drawn up by the government, please clicks here. The details of the new laws could not be reach out, believe its still pending government study, before it could be tabled in the parliament.
3) At the first glance, it seems that government of BN through DS Najib was trying to grab popular votes from people - another indication of 13GE drawing near. Nevertheless, as Tun Dr. Mahathir said, he knows DS Najib well, but he did not know what circulating in his mind. What we can do is just judging and predicting based on certain circumtances and evidence.
4) As we all knows, DS Najib has pledged since the first day he has taken over the PM office, that he would review the ISA. Therefore, during the eve of Malaysia day, he walk the talk by keeping his early pledge. Judging from the first day until today, most of the people including us tend to forget what was said after many years passed especially when the things receded.
5) I dont asked us to support this decision, but to me it is still too early to judged.
Additional:
Why are we need ISA? Initially ISA was meant to curb comunism by using pre-emptive strike against PKM during Malayan emergency. But today comunism is no longer treat to national security, therefore government should devise a new ISA as to accomodate with current needs and circumtances. It could be named ISA, ISA II, SIA or whatever names, as long its stay relevance with current needs and be progressive.
The greatest treat of being progressive is conservative which would frustrate any development of any society.
Most of us always forget that Islam also is a progressive religion. The values that being practicizing during 6th centuries ago may not suit nowaday i.e., hudud law [I was not meant to oppose hudud law, but its clearly could not be implemented nowaday]. The syariah laws have to be relevance to whatever circumtances in order for Islam to remain relevance and exist.
Unfortunately, there were too many politicians nowaday are trying to be a champion of Islam but instead they were being ignorance and interpreting Islam as they wish to suit their political ideology.

Russians - Sting
1) This song was written in the early 80's during the cold war period.
2) A friend of Sting of Columbia University, New York has invented a quite extraordinary device of that day, which could inferior for today standard. The device would able to steal tv signal of Russian satellite.
3) On the Saturday night, after having a couple of beers, they came back to University, while having looking out the device, they were forced to see Russian cartoon tv, children programs and Russian version of sesame street.
4) What really struck his mind was how well constructed the program is, clearly shows how much Russian really love their children as we are.

Truth, Lies and Politics
1) I am not a politician, therefore I may perceived not qualified to talk about politics. Unfortunately, I have my own views on what is politics all about, what politician should do and THINK. Furthermore, my formal education is not as high as among politicians and never studied in politics as KJ has in Oxford.
2) I have seen and study a little about current and past politicians including Tun Dr. Mahathir. From my own observation, for these politicians to stay relevance and be accepted by the public, they have to stay firm with their views and principles even though its may not popular to most of the people. As a politician one must have keep his / her principle and fought remain firm although may received resistance by his / her opponent and the public at large. When Tun Dr Mahathir was sacked by Tunku Abdul Rahman in 1969, he remain loyal to UMNO/BN because he still believe UMNO/BN fought remain parallel with his fought. It just because of his differences with the then UMNO - Perikatan leadership has set him apart from UMNO a little while.
3) When Tun Razak ascended to Prime Ministership, Tun Dr Mahathir was accepted as being someone that remain with his principle as before he was sacked. His book Malay Dilemma, although was banned by then leadership wasn't perceived by previous leadership as a treat to their leadership - instead it was treated as his own personal views that also has merit to be considered with, and may have certain truth that hard to be swallowed.
4) Fight for the truth always being Tun Dr Mahathir principle as a politician, the truth that always against the general perception of public at large, the truth that will remain forever while the lies only short-lived. Therefore, we could see Tun Dr Mahathir views of 42 years ago is still remain the same as present. Please bear in our mind, the truth is come from God while lies is come from ourselves or from devil. God is eternal and remain forever while lies will only remain until afterlife, therefore lies are short-lived.
5) In believing their principles, a politician should uphold to their believe and remain firm with it until it became irrelevance due to the time and circumstances that has not allowed it.
6) The truth also about your true intention - about the truth of why you want to be a politician - is it for yourself or for your people. You will never be forever obscure your true intention to be a politician, sooner or latter people will find it, only time will tell. The good analogy is Anwar Ibrahim. AI true intention was so bloody covered during his time in UMNO/BN, but when his true face stripped off - his ill intention started to prevail as we can see currently.
7) PAS also another good analogy. When PAS founded in 1956, the original principle was - to established an Islamic state of Malaysia [PAS own view of Islamic state]. PAS politicians has cursed UMNO politicians for being un-Islamic, abandon Islam just for the sake of power as well as sharing the political reign with non-Muslims. At one time UMNO members and politicians was accused infidel. But today, after 54 years UMNO still remain dominance party in BN in managing this country. PAS on the other hand, remain small fraction in PKR, and have no gut to defend Islam as they should do.
8) When our Muslim brothers faith currently under treat, PAS has lose their teeth and succumbed to it fellow non-Muslims party. PAS became coward, not as what they did in defending 1985 Memali incident, blaming UMNO/BN for granted alcohol and gambling licenses, blaming UMNO/BN for upholding non-Islamic economic values and etc. PAS disillusion will curse them, they will eventually led them into internal bleeding for chasing short-lived lies instead of searching for eternal truth.
9) DAP on the other hand, remain firm with their own political principles, DAP has in so far managed to force PAS to abandon their principles from establish Islamic state into welfare state. Since founded in 1965, DAP remain firm with their Malaysian Malaysia principle until today, while the Islamic Malay party of PAS will change their principle along with time and circumtances as long as it would benefit their political mileage.
10) In this case, we know who is chasing the eternal truth and who is chasing short-lived lies.
