Pak Lah: Think out of the box

.......but pangkah dacing. hehehhehe.... How are we supposed to think out of the box if you always give us a box to think in. Perhaps you should try to step out of the box once a while so that you understand and know what is going on outside of your box.

Today I recieve a very important lesson for a mistake I made and I purposely made the mistake so that I could learn from it because the person whom I made the mistake with is a Principal of the Islamic Primary school in front of my tiny shop for I know that he will show me my mistake and help me to correct it. Had it been someone else maybe I would be so lucky so as to be able to learn from the mistake. Now..... thats thinking out of the box. Too bad I am not a student anymore for I would be sent into the ISA lock-up if Pak Lah found out about the mistake I made.

My tiny shop has a photo copy machine and I make copies of copyrighted books. May Allah forgive me for trying to spread knowledge cheaply as most of the recipient of the knowledge may not be able to afford the copyrighted version. And may Allah give the copyright owner all the pahala he/she deserve for all the effort in spreading the knowledge.

But that was not the mistake. My mistake was I overcharged my services for copying and binding the book for the principal, after sincerely not knowing how much to charge. I charged according to the value I put on my effort to make the 20 copies and bind it. After being told and after some minor research, I realised that effort doesn't count for much unless you do it for some one important and can afford to pay for your effort.

Btw, I am currently writing a dissertation on Islamic Banking in Malaysia. If any one can help me please do help. Thank you.

Kekah oooo kekah

aritu nak 8 ekor je kat surau saujana impian but till today its 10 ekor lembu to tumbang this sunday. Hopefully the number of people helping to lapah lombu tu also increase so that the usual group would not have to work harder with the increased lembu.

It is easy to give money than to work on the lembu. Orang kita ni semua nye kaya2 thats why negara kena amik dek orang lain pon diorang tak kesah. Berapa ramai orang indon ada kat malaysia ni sampai kalau ada konfrontasi skali lagi rasanye overnight je diorang amik malaysia ni. And why is that? nak develop copek sangat sampai terpaksa amik orang luar buat keje. Sapa yang kaya? Mereka dan keluarga mereka gak.... yang miskin tu masih miskin gak.... gerainya kena roboh laktu. sian......

Berapa power nye cina and india kat malaysia ni sampai sekolah bahasa diorang pon ada, minister diorang pon ramai, kuil diorang pon melambak (kaya2 lak tu). Katanya atas nama kemakmuran masyarakat majmuk..... tapi maruah melayu tergadai tak sodar ko? Menteri ko rajo ko... samo yo.... pongocut!!!! tolor lombu lotak kek dalam buntut and buwek masaklomak!!! heheheh

Sure ada orang kata aku ni kolot.... tinggal kat zaman 50 an dgn komunis dulu. Tapi buka la mato tu bosa2. tengok apo dah jadi ngan orang mlayu. terutamam yang islam. rasanye 50an dulu lagi power diorang tu dari mlayu skarang ni.

Bona nyo perang tu bagus... 13 mei tu buat la lagi. Baru tau sapa kawan sapa lawan. Zaman skarang ni tak tau sapa kawan sapa lawan sebab tak de perang. Yang ada Perang business, perang blog, internet, perang mulut.... nak buek apo. Bagi kat NATO yo la tu.... No Action Talk Only. talk pon kalah gak.... di sumpah dek cino, di belit dek india, di sergah dek amarika dah gelabah.

Tapi susah gak.... melayu islam skarang ni banyak yang munafik dari yang ori. Bagi kontrak kat bukan islam melayu sobab ea melayu malaise, takde quality, lombab, terhegeh2 kata nye. Iyo lah... donga la cakap kafir tu. Biarla mlayu mati di bumi sendiri. Memang pon melayu ni lombik, sonang di pijak2 dek non malay. Walaupon tak semua but enuf to loose everything to them. Kato nyo kalau bagi project kat mlayu, tak jalan la pojek tu..... bona nyo pojek tak jalan lagi bagus dari jalan tapi dapat kat non-malays or non-muslim. Negara nak develop, biar la cino buek, kojo dek orang indon, and di mentera dek kuil indu kek mid valley tu and adviced by mat salleh.... mlayu tengok yo.... dah siap dapat nama yo.... tak malu!!!! Aku pon malu jadi mlayu!!


Tak po lah ai.... tunggu kiamat yo lah. Time tu tak sapo dapat lari. baru nampak sapa betul sapa salah. Doa yo lah kito di pihak betul and tak salah. Moga Allah terima tobat kito yo......

Christmas, New Year and Birthday

Do you celebrate your birthday? If you do, than you should celebrate christmas and new year as well. Or even Good Friday and halloween or bank holiday and so on and so forth for all the dates celebrated and calculated using the gregorian method. It makes life much easier that the dates have been predetemined and you know now what is the date of the day 100 years from now. However, are you allowed to do that?

The Quran states that the only thing certain in this world is death. Even that you dont know when its going to happen. Life would be much easier if you know when you're gonna die, right? WRONG!!!

So, who or what gives you the right to predetermined your action by setting the dates before hand? Just look at the Hijrah date. You will not know when the next month is until you are able to see the 'anak bulan' . Every month you need to look for the first day of the month before you could confirm that you are in the next month. That is also the reason why certain country is in this month while others are already in the next......:)

Actually, the predetermined dates supports RIBA. Wow!!! How the hell did somenoe deduce that? Well ... its easy really. Ask your self : can you calculate your interest if you do not know the coming dates? Dont think so. Tempest calender wont exist.

Going back to the Birthday thingy. Are we sinners to use the dates we use everyday? Maybe. We use it because they use it. They means the non-muslims. Why do we use it? Because it makes our life easier. Not really. You are here in this world to serve God. And perhaps to remind others that we are here to serve Allah. Do you need to know the future dates to do that? We are just too engrosed with this temporary world and do our best to gain as much as possible of this world that we fix the dates so that we can concentrate on taking as much of this world with us. But thats not why we are here in this world. We are here to serve Allah so that we could go to Heaven. And we dont need to now the dates to do that. Think about it...... Why do we need to know the dates?

The Mecca and Madianh Arabs even question the Malaysians as to why do we celebrate the birthday of Nabi Muhamad saw. Just like we're supposed to celebrate the arrival of Ramadhan but we celebrate the arrival of Syawal more. Its all about MONEY/WEALTH really. .....

Tried converting Masihi birthdates to the Hijrah dates and got a few dates. because 1 Muharam in Malaysia may be 2nd in Saudi.

Lets use the Hijrah date and see/realize all the sins that we have done when we use the Masihi date.

Salam.

Indian vs Chinese

An issue in the news recently caught my attention. Indian merchants in India and Chinese merchants in China found it hard to work together. Perhaps it was due to government policies that purposely restricts trade between the two country. The main reason perhaps being the possibility of unequal distribution of wealth among the trading countries.

The whole world knows that India and China are 2 of the world largest economy. They are self sustaining, huge and lots of market, have language barriers, and more importantly both are managed by totally different political and cultural style and belief. Surprisingly, both races are thriving here in Malaysia, especially the Chinese, perhaps due to the business minded south and southeast china descendants we have here (look and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan). But still, they cant really work together, unless there is a Malay amongst them. And maybe due to the type of Indian we have here in Malaysia...... the workers rather than the businessmen. The bloody brits brought in the Indian workers to work in Malaysia. Ask Shah Rukh Khan what caste Samy Vellu came from and you'd understand why he cant help Malaysia to promote Malaysian products to India. While most of the Chinese came on their own to find a better life or run from the communist control there, the Indians had some assistance from the colonialist. and maybe that is also another reason why the Chinese are more ......steadfast....... than the Indians.

In any case, both come here to look for a better life. And the Malays.................. who gave this name anyway? It sounds like ... malaise.... and that's just what they are... malas.... Don't get me wrong. Malays include Jawa, Bugis, Bajau, Jakun, Kelantanese, Kedahans, Johoreans etc etc races that were here before the arrival of the Chinese and Indians. Tak semua Jawa malas. Just like Chinese includes those from different ranks and areas of china and Indians from different caste and areas of India. But due to their musafir to Malaysia, they tend to become more rajin than the locals. Just like the Malays in England. Most of them are more rajin the English. (perhaps that's why the prophets advice us to Hijrah... so that we wont be too malaise). And the Malay word..... even worst.... MELAYU!! Patut la LAYU ..... je....hehehhehe

Well, going back to the Indians and Chinese. If they cant work together in their countries.... why the heck do the Malays allow them to prosper here? Nothing wrong with them. I don't blame them, in fact, I used to admire them. But the Malays could do the same in the UK and US. But they cant do it here, in their own country. Why? Because the Malays allow it.

Chinese cant do business in India coz the Indian do not allow it and vice versa for indians in China. There may be Chinatowns and Indian restaurants in the US and UK, but are there high level Indian and Chinese ministers there? Even a Muslim American wanting to take oath using the Quran became a hot issue in the US. And here the Malays allow them to control the economy,the toll roads, construction and labour. Ask any Chinese speaking Malays and they can gladly say that they can get better discount speaking Chinese buying something from the Chinese merchants. But those in control (Malays mostly.... the ministers and royalties) closed one eye on this .... stupid! That's a clear indication of how your life's being controlled by the foreigners. And now you have to learn English in school. There goes your chance of getting better discount doing business.

Going back to Indian vs Chinese..... any worthy companies listed in the Malaysian Bursa that has only Chinese and Indians working together? Don't think so. Forget the Malays. They're there just to fill in the quota. Look else where as well. At school, in the market, oohhh yes... got a few chinese marrying indians.... but they're Christians of Muslims or Hindus or Buddhist.... and not Indian or Chinese. The Malays only have themselves to blame. Sad... really sad....

How to correct this, you may ask. Start a war. The Quran states that the Badar and Uhud war showed the true colours of the people around the Prophet. You can bet your ass that a war declared in Malaysia (against Singapore perhaps) will show who are truly Malaysians and who would run back to their country land. They're here to look for better life remember? But the Malays are here to stay and has no where else to run to, except for the royalties and ministers perhaps. Like most wars in other countries where the royalties and ministers suddenly came back after the war ended to claim what they say is rightly theirs before the war. JEEZZZ...... tak malu!!! Dont think any of the Prophets did that.

Call this article racist but ask the countries professing and promoting democracy about Guantanamo prison, communist china allowed to spread its economic powers, and the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and Osama Bin Laden.

Still on money

Thank you.

Perhaps you are right on the fiat (paper) money and even more accurate on the element-based currencies. Sadly, it doesn't stop there. In fact, it doesn't start there either.

Issues like profit maximisation, cost minimisation, freedom of choice/speech, Micheal Milken's "greed is good", laissez faire, and even democracy has something to do with it. Hope to get into them and others when/if I have the time.

Everything promoted by the western countries has to be scrutinised and understood using the Quran. Matters relating to Muamalah has to be researched in the Quran not only using verses and hadith related to it; just like you can marry 4 and have to be fair and then you are told you'll never be fair no matter how hard you try. ........ or............. like you are to apply Qisas but the best is to forgive being read together with Surah Al-Asr. If you know (and believe with faith) the result of your action in the hereafter ......... something like that, Insya-allah.

Moving to new Surau










THIS IS TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE QARIAH OF SAUJANA IMPIAN, KAJANG HAS NOW OFFICIALLY MOVED INTO A NEW SURAU SITUATED BESIDE THE OLD SURAU.

The new surau can accomodate up to 2000 jemaah while the old one 400. Hopefully the jemaah will be able to make use of the new surau 5 times more than the old one too. The surau is not 100% completed and the jemaah has to make do with what's available. Hence, those interested to contribute may come over and chip on wherever and whenever possible to make it more comfy for those using it. It is the house of Allah and only Allah can repay the contributors.

The old surau will be converted into a primary school for islamic studies. Those interested to contribute in this area may also provide any assistance deemed necessary by your personal visit.

Photographs and contact persons for the above venue will be posted here in the future.

Salam
