Hijrah@SZ Nilai Impian

WE'RE MOVING
insyaAllah- 29 December 2008
DIRECTION TO JALAN NILAI IMPIAN 3 FINAL VERSION... RENOVATION ON-GOING

Ayah@Dialysis

· Last Ramadan my father@Ayah all of a sudden start losing his appetite and weight… and definitely beginning to start getting weaker by the days. The development was quite worrisome so I suggested to my sister that we better get him to do a thorough check-up at the hospital to determine the reason for the deterioration

· We took him to Selayang Hospital for preliminary check up and through the blood and urine test carried out…. Everything seem to be okay. A week later, during follow up x-ray test appointment… it was accidentally discover that the previous blood test result was actually not so good after all. The doctor suspected that this was due to the kidney failure to function fully.

· Thorough follow-up test was done to ascertain the suspicion and was sadly confirmed. Doctor stress dialysis was the only treatment for kidney failure. So the options was laid on the table. hemodialysis… peritoneal dialysis…. at the hospital… at home…. every 6 hours… once daily… process and procedure….

· So decisions was collectively made and now going through the process and always with prayer that Ayah will be well and healthy again, as a 83 years old man insyaAllah .

· We decided to go for the peritoneal dialysis…. peritoneal dialysis (PD), you have some choices in treating advanced and permanent kidney failure. Since the 1980s, when PD first became a practical and widespread treatment for kidney failure, much has been learned about how to make PD more effective and minimize side effects. Since you don’t have to schedule dialysis sessions at the hospital, it gives you more control. You can give yourself treatments at home, at work, or on trips. But this independence makes it especially important that you work closely with your health care team: your nephrologist, dialysis nurse, dialysis technician, dietitian, and of course … the most important members of your health care team are Mum@Mak and family members. By learning about your treatment, you can work with your health care team to give yourself the best possible results.

MAK... ALWAYS THERE AND READY

Al Fatihah@Zainab Salleh

Yesterday, 21 October 2008 my Aunt Zainab bt Salleh/Mak Nab, younger sister to my Ayah/father pass away at the age of 78. Manage to ziarah Mak Nab last Raya Aidilfitri at her home in Ipoh. She was then awake and aware. Buried at Tanah Perkuburan Jalan Kuala Kangsar next to her husband, Wak Aji who pass away 16 years ago. Ayah didn’t manage to attend the funeral as he was not feeling to good lately. Alhamdulillah Thanks to Almighty Allah for giving my parents the health and are still around and able to share their love with us, children, grand children and great grand children. Pray for their health always. AMIN

AL FATIHAH FOR MAK NAB... MY FATHER'S YOUNGER SISTER Post-Burial
Directly after the funeral ceremony has taken place, Muslims believe that two angels come down from heaven to interrogate the deceased. They question the dead to see if they have lived a good life, as well as see how much the deceased knows about God and the Prophet. Because of this, those who are present at the moment pray to help the deceased in their interrogations.

After someone's death, it is customary to only remember the deceased in a positive light, and to say only good things about the person. Muslims believe that the dead can hear the words of the living, so when visitors come to the grave, it is proper to greet the deceased. They also pray for the deceased and for the forgiveness of their sins.

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.

Received message (2nd Sept 2008)- a friend, a senior in the architecture school in UTM was warded.
Visited SUHARDI at the Damansara Specialist Center with Zan
His wife, NURUL, our classmate in the architecture school and housemate of Zan when they were staying as students behind my parents house in Jalan Kent off Jalan Gurney/Semarak, was there with the family members.

Currently they reside just a block away from my parents place

Today (12 Sept 2008), got a message from Sutina & Saifudin at about 6.00am, informing the passing of SUHARDI
-AL-FATIHAH –
(Coincidently, on the 2nd Sept we sort of bump into our nephew Dr Harris at the Specialist Center, and accidently found out the wife, Soefinar just had an operation)

Amazing@Coincidence



Last night being bored with nothing interesting on teleV, I sat down with my PC and thought of managing some of the very OLD files. I found a few 31 YEARS old photos of UTM Malam Bakat and thought of uploading them onto my YAHOO Flickr photostream. These were photographs of US during the talent competition which I partake in the various categories: 1-electric band (Impromptu with Miang Keladi Blues) 2-acoustic vocal group (Ugly Toads with Country Road) 3-solo (with Feeling). The band members include Kamal, Hafiz, Lee, Suhaili, Sutina and of course myself. After uploading the photos, COINCIDENTALLY I received an SMS from HAFIZ informing about KAMAL unplanned “impromptu” (after medical check-up) heart by-pass operation the following day. BY THE WAY, Hafiz, Kamal and I COINCIDENTALLY performed the HAJJ last year. COINCIDENTALLY at about the same time, another UTM friend of our end up being warded after she lose her footing at Pusrawi right after her medical check-up with ZAN. SELMAH fractured her foot and will be in cast throughout Ramadan. Sabar ye Sel! BY THE WAY, we performed the UMRAH with Selmah and SUTINA in 1999. Guess won't be seeing Kamal at Permata Mosque early part of Ramadan for Terawih.
SEMOGA KAMAL & SELMAH SEGERA SEMBUH DAN PULIH SEPERTI BIASA. INSYAALAH
SALAM RAMADAN. BULAN YANG MENGUJI KESABARAN UMMAT ISLAM.
Hafiz+Kamal+Shukri@Mekkah

AlFatihah@Mokhtar

inna lillah wa inna 'ilayhi raji'un

AL-FATIHAH –
SAYA INGIN MERAKAMKAN UCAPAN TAKZIAH KEPADA KELUARGA ALLAHYARHAM TUAN HAJI MOKHTAR, SEMOGA ROHNYA DICUCURI RAHMAT ALLAH SWT DAN DITEMPATKAN BERSAMA ORANG ORANG YANG SOLEH DAN BERIMAN

Yet another friend taken from my life this morning. He passed away at the Ampang Hospital after going into coma for more than 2 weeks. He was a bit like my big brother. Always doing something even in his old age. It was really sad to see him so helpless in the hospital bed. I last saw him day before yesterday and he woke up from his 15 days coma and I talked, held his hand, wipe sweat from his forehead and tears from his eyes.... I knew he was wanting to say something. .. didn’t expect that he woke up to say goodbye. Praying he was going to recover. A few hours after my visit he went back into coma, and never recover.

Just 3 months back I visited his home, and he was already not feeling too good, easily tired and experiencing back pain. We talked and I “reported” to him on the latest development and who doings what (as best as I could)…

As Muslim we accepted the inevitable. I’ll always remember the time we talk about 1-computer- for a person his age I admired him for his knowledge on the latest in computer tech. And he mentioned he would like to go into business in this field. Which he did; 2-smoking- between a non smoker and a heavy smoker. He did said “bos bersyukur le tak de keinginan merokok, saya dah tak boleh berenti”; 3- red spray paint- I requested that he take it easy with the red spray paint which he used frequently to indicate rejected portion of the constructed building.

He was a very sporting guy going along with all the craps from the young guys. I had fond memories of him and will miss him. We will pray for you. Al-fathihah.

Saying Inna Lillah is a form of worship. This is to adopt the attitude of surrendering to God’s will instead of complaining against fate. It is to convert the loss into a new discovery. This phrase, ‘We are from God and to God we shall return’ is, in short, an acknowledgment of God's godhead on the part of His servants.

ISA@kejam

  • Yesterday evening, The Abolish ISA Movement held their “Malam Seni - Tanpa Bicara” gathering at the Taman Melawati Food Court with multi-media, poetry, music and theater presentation.
  • The strong and clear message … 48 years of ISA – it’s time to stopped this cruel, merciless and inhumane act.
  • My prayer with the families of those still detain.

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.

  • During the first trial of former Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, police told the courts that the process of ‘extracting confessions’ under duress was called “turning over” and suggested it was a standard practice of the police.

Fuel Hike@Ride A Bike

Sure, cars make a lot of sense in certain situations. If you have to transport small children, bulky objects or many small ones, three or more people or one with broken foot, cars are better than two-wheelers. Cars are also better when you have to travel on sandy roads, thunder storms or through riots.

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.

The most common answers concern the risk. Certainly battling traffic as heavy as KL’s with thoughtless and unskilled drivers, involves danger. But there’s an unsettling implication here that you don’t need to be sharp as in the car as you do on bike. Here is a person unwilling to risk operating 500 pound vehicle but will go out in a crowded city with a much larger two-ton vehicle that can do significantly more harm and not worry about it. Traffic still involve risk, even in car.

Of course, the person who offer this answer is referring to the risk to him or herself. No doubt about it, your chance of dying are greater on a bike. I figure that if you’re willing to throw away so much of your life in a car, you’re better already dead.

An average KL city motorist loses 3 years of his working life getting up in traffic jams. Also that millions of Ringgit are wasted each day in spare parts worn out in traffic jams in KL city.

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.

One no motorcyclist once told me that he didn’t ride a motorcycle to work because “life too short:”. I agree, but my conclusion, obviously is just the opposite. Life is too short to burn up sitting miserably and passively in a car when you could be moving and living.

SAY NO TO rempit

The Best Part Of It Is … It’s FUN

Don’t Waste Your Life and Money….

Police@Kelakar


Our police must be so "teruja" to meet Anwar that they just can't wait another hour. So their "rombongan" come to "jemput" Anwar an hour early. "PENANTIAN must be KESEKSAAN for the police. Anyway I salute our police for their high motivation and proactive (selectively) ..
what else can be said about our great police force. From the news report, the dpm, igp & home minister were not aware of the police action... hmmm

Police@50 Then>Now



Then>Now =
admiration>respect>appreciative>fearful> sickening>disgust

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?

Salasilah@Perak Malaysia

In the Name of Allah, Most Beneficient Most Merciful

Where do we start? Do we know our family trees or family history.

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.

Relative@priority

Sadqa (alms, charity) given to a poor man is just Sadqa, but when given to a relative it serves a double purpose, being both Sadqa and a connecting link.
