MAK... ALWAYS THERE AND READY
When one dies, everything in this earthly life is left behind, and there are no more opportunities to perform acts of righteousness and faith. The Prophet Muhammad once said that there are three things, however, which may continue to benefit a person after death: charity given during life which continues to help others, knowledge from which people continue to benefit, and a righteous child who prays for him or her.

Every moment needs to be recorded. In time you'll see how the kids grow and how you change... Photography is a beauty.........
What is the ISA? The Internal Security Act 1960 (ISA) is a preventive detention law in force in Malaysia. Any person may be detained by the police for up to 60 days without trial for an act which allegedly prejudices the security of the country or any part thereof.
After 60 days, one may be further detained for a period of two years each, to be approved by the Minister of Home Affairs, thus making indefinite detention without trial.
In 1989, the powers of the Minister under the legislation was made immune to judicial review by virtue of amendments to the Act. Now, only the courts are ‘allowed’ to examine and review technical matters pertaining to the ISA arrest.
Since 1960 when the Act was enacted, thousands of people including trade unionists, student leaders, labour activists, political activists, religious groups, academicians, NGO activists have been arrested under the ISA.
Many political activists in the past have been detained for more than a decade. The ISA has been consistently used against people who criticise the government and defend human rights.
Known as the ‘white terror’, it has been the most feared and despised, yet convenient tool for the state to suppress opposition and open debate. The Act is an instrument maintained by the ruling government to control public life and civil society.
The ISA goes against the right of a person to defend himself in an open and fair trial. The person can be incarcerated up to 60 days of interrogation without access to lawyers.
The first 60 days A person detained under the ISA during the first 60 days is held incommunicado, with no access to the outside world.
Furthermore, lawyers and family members are not allowed access to the detainee during this initial period.
Only after a two-year detention order is signed, the detainee is carted off to the Kamunting Detention Centre to serve his or her two-year term, in which family members are allowed to visit.
Torture Torture goes concurrently with ISA detention. Former detainees have testified to being subjected to severe physical and psychological torture.
This may include one or more of the following: physical assault, forced nudity, sleep deprivation, round-the-clock interrogation, death threats, threats of bodily harm to family members, including threats of rape and bodily harm to their children.
Also, detainees are confined in individual and acutely small cells with no light and air, in what is believed to be secret holding cells.
These interrogation techniques and acts of torture are designed to humiliate and frighten detainees into revealing their weaknesses and breaking down their defences.

This week starts with some unpleasant news. Our Aunt Mak Nab was warded in Ipoh Hospital and currently in coma. We pray to Allah she’ll recover soon. The sudden passing away of a friend in TNB Group HR (Madi) and also the father of a friend (Halim Amin) on Monday. And I’m stuck at home, not feeling too good, down with exhaustion, lack of sleep and wrong food intake. Hope to be back at work tomorrow. A REMINDER MAYBE…
The Pilgrimage [22.6] This is because Allah is the Truth and because He gives life to the dead and because He has power over all things
HAPPY 23 BIRTHDAY
Always set high target> work hard> pray hard and be thankful for all the nikmat and rahmat
But as a normal means of day-to-day transportation, cars are inconvenient, ineffective, annoying, environmentally offensive, anti social, boring and expensive. When I look at the time it takes to get around the city in the car and then consider what I save with motorcycle, it is inconceivable to me that so many city commuters prefer cars.
My ride to work, split between highways and city streets, is about 25 Km one way. It takes at 25 to 30 minutes on a motorcycle on a normal day. It take at least 20 minutes longer in a car, though sometimes it takes almost twice as long . I normally waste an average of 15 minutes by commuting in a car. That’ half an hour a day.
And time lost is just part of it. On a bike I almost never have to pay for toll and parking charges. Fuel is just 25% comparing to car consumption. And parking in a car, the RM2.00 an hour that KL parking lots regularly extort is unavoidable. You also usually have to park much farther from your actual destination.
You’re also more likely to be a victim of someone stupidity in a car. This can take the form of being rear-end or sideswiped because there isn’t room for car to escape. More often it is the driver in front of you who decide to turn without signaling and make you sit through an extra cycle of traffic light, who are busy sending sms messages instead of moving, who simply decide to park at a no parking/waiting zone. On motorcycle you simply pass these morons.
Need anything be said about driving experience in KL after heavy downpour or when traffic is interrupted by accident upstream.
Malaysian driver s have a lot of ways to alleviate their suffering in traffic. They talk on their cell phones (while trying hard to hide it) , they read newspaper, they shave, put on make up. They turn up the bass/woofer and play their music loud to test how well-installed their windows are or are trying to share their music preferences, while they sit in a deepening layer of exhaust fumes and most of them listen to radio.
There are traffic report on radio. Traffic reports are supposed to help you avoid bad traffic. That’s impossible as all of KL is bad traffic. Occasionally the report do hold useful information, and I quote:”the only one getting through this mess are the bikers”.
I have asked people why they commute in cars. Most of them say they never have considered commuting on motorcycle and think I’m strange for asking. If I press, I get range of responses. Some concern appearances “I’ll mess up my hair”. "I couldn’t ride motorcycle well enough” is frightening responses; this is a person who belongs on the bus. “What if it rain?”.
A large more disturbing reasons given for not riding a motorcycle to work is image. "wouldn’t look good to the boss" OR “I’m not a motorcycle person" shows that motorcycling isn’t as acceptable as we like to think. You don’t want the CEO to think his executive is a rebel.
In 20 years of commuting in KL , I have probably saved an average of at least 4 hour a week . That’s 200 hour a year, the equivalent of 35 working days each year.
The Best Part Of It Is … It’s FUN
Ride A Bike And Get Our City Moving Again
Our police sometime works wonder… when it come to peaceful assembly, the mention of Anwar and Pakatan Rakyat … they’ll jump into frantic action.
Why can’t they focus their energies and numbers on the jobs they’re suppose to do… which is BASICALLY to reduce snatch, kidnap, abduct, thefts, burglaries, rempit, rape…… which continue unabated with increasing loss of life, limb and material? You are constantly incurring the wrath of the common person… where is the MESRA & RAKAN?
Genealogy is the study and tracing of family lineages and history. It is a complex process that uses historical records and sometimes genetic analysis to demonstrate kinship. Reliable conclusions are based on the quality of sources, ideally original records, the information within those sources, ideally primary or firsthand information, and the evidence that can be drawn, directly or indirectly, from that information. But getting the information is difficult as not many keep them. So let start with what we have.
