Bersih 2.0

Assalamualaykum,

Jujurnya, saya sangat menantikan tarikh keramat ini. Pada hari itu, kita akan dapat melihat gelagat pelbagai lapisan orang di Malaysia. Atau lebih tepat saya katakan kita boleh melihat tahap kematangan dan ketelusan pelbagai lapisan orang di Malaysia. Dari pemandu teksi, peniaga gerai sehingga Yang Dipertuan Agong.

Yes, I really want to see their reaction.

8 tuntutan Bersih 2.0;

1. Bersihkan Senarai Undi
2. Mereformasikan Undi Pos
3. Gunakan Dakwah Kekal
4. Masa Kempen Minima 21 Hari
5. Akses Media Yang Bebas Dan Adil
6. Kukuhkan Institusi Awam
7. Hentikan Rasuah
8. Hentikan Politik Kotor

Sehingga hari ini ramai yang menentang, dan ramai juga yang menyokong. Saya masih belum dapat faham kenapa ada orang menentang. Bukanlah saya tidak dapat membaca alasan-alasan yang diberikan cuma saya hanya tidak dapat menerima alasan yang diberi.

Jalan sesak?
Mengganggu perniagaan-perniagaan kecil?

Come on, you need to try better than that one. Kalau ada sesiapa yang membaca entry ini dan ingin cuba meyakinkan diri yang hina ini tentang keburukan Bersih 2.0, please do. Saya sangat ingin memahami apa yang anda semua fikirkan.

Bukan tidak pernah Malaysia membuat perarakan sempena hari kemerdekaan.
Bukan tidak pernah Malaysia membuat Le Tour de Langkawi di Kuala Lumpur.

Tidak pula terjadi isu mengganggu jalan sesak. tidak pula timbul isu menjejaskan pendapatan peniaga-peniaga kecil. Pemandu teksi tidak pula bising.

Polis yang begitu ramai dikerahkan untuk menangkap orang memakai baju Bersih. Mengapa tidak dikerahkan untuk membantu melancarkan pergerakan Bersih 2.0? Afterall what they really want to do is marching from one end to the another.

I still remember the students protest in London few months ago. It supposed to be a peace protest but it turn out to be violent and one of them intimidate the royal family. But the real reason why the protest turn violence is because the police start to use violence against the students. The so-called Malay protector (PERKASA) said they will do their own marching to fight Bersih 2.0 in order to protect the peace in Malaysia. Can anyone help me to knock Ibrahim Ali's head hoping that the lose screw in his head fastened?

-If there's one thing BERSIH 2.0 managed to do, for better or worse, is to garner overwhelming attention and politicize Malaysia's non-Malay population beyond any other movement for the past half century. No more, "Melayu tak kisah asal dia tuan", "Cina tak kisah asal dia kaya", or "India tak kisah asal dia senang". Rakyat kisah.-

ask?

Bismillah

I not getting enough sleep the day before yesterday. Didnt sleep all day and have to travel at early morning for a meeting at Loughborough. Talk about busyman yeah.

I was tired even before the journey start but seeing my two train being canceled, you got to be kidding me. Then there I was, waiting patiently at train station for 1 hour.

I manage to ask the guy at the ticket counter and i got another train but need to have some detour. It's alright as long as i can hop on train and reach Loughborough.

Hearing my train have reached Loughborough train station make me feel relieved until the train left the station without I manage to go out. The feeling when hearing whistle being blown for clearance to depart while I still struggling to get out is just 'great'.

John(bukan nama sebenar) : sorry mate, it seems like you have to go to Leicester and come back here.

Me : .....................

Just when I thinking to start saving money, I already have to spend it needlesly.

Arriving at Leicester train station somehow give me courage to ask whether I can go back to Loughborough without buying a new ticket. As I have no valid reason to not be able to stop at Loughborough(except embarassing excuse), I do feel hesitate to ask. I kept thinking what kind of excuse should I say.

Eventually, I did ask the ticket counter and without giving any excuse, I was allowed to go back without buying new ticket. Thank god after that I manage to reach the destination safely.

Looks like I have been write some rubbish about my life that didnt even related to you but me myself did learm one big thing from this incident;

Sometimes, all you need to do is just ask.

Wallahualam.

Easter break, period.

Bismillah,

It was a hectic week. Assignments just wont stop knocking in my life. Well, it's easter break now and I'm relieved. I can have a break after awhile.

My friends have gone to lot of places as I speak right now. Some have gone to Spain, some go to Turkey, Amsterdam and who knows about the other. I'm still here anyway and not going anywhere afterall. Three assignments needed to be submitted after school open again and that fact really kill my mood for a holiday.

Anyway, I've been to Spain last winter but when I think back about the trip, I can feel that something is missing from the trip. After 4 months, I think I know what's missing, interaction with the local.

We really lack of that part. We kept on pushing to reach new places and see lot of historical places but we dont really interact with the locals there. Yes, we have problem in language and I dont blame anybody but myself for that.

After these years, it started to come to me that it's not what we see but who did we meet is matter in any trip.

I have been in Beirut last autumn and frankly speaking, I miss Beirut much more than I miss Spain. I meet my unknown 'relative' there and subhanallah, the feeling was wonderful and it still fresh in my mind about the feeling that day.

A place is a place.
It cant speak nor it cant move.

The people is what make a place is a special place.

An opinion is just an opinion.
A philosophy is just a philosophy.
A religion is just a theory.

Islam is just a theory but it's the PEOPLE that make Islam is a religion.

p/s:just a clueless rambling at in the middle of the night.

Malaysia dan makanan

Bismillah,

We eat a lot. That's what Malaysian do. We eat for breakfast, 10 am, lunch, 4 pm, dinner and then so-called supper. But we lacked of one thing. Actually we didn't realise one thing;

Then let man look at his food(and how we provide it)
(Abasa:24)

If all Malaysians remember this particular ayah everytime they eat their food, masyaAllah, I'm really sure Malaysia will have such a harmony environment.

Speaking of food, have we ever ponder when we look at baby how they know to suck milk from his mother's breast?

The baby just being born and he automatically know how to fill his stomach.

Dont you guys ever think about it?

Maybe it's too common up to a point you guys never bother about it. Ignorance is a bliss? Think again guys.

Just watch this video and dont say to me you guys didn't think how he able to do that.

Just like Allah says in the quran;

And there is no creature on earth but that upon Allah is its provision, and He knows its place of dwelling and place of storage. All is in a clear register.

(Abasa:6)

Seriously, how the baby kangaroo knows where to go after he was born?

Never stop thinking brother.

Isteri dan kehidupan

Bismillah,

Surprisingly, politics at Malaysia for about a decade has all about sex life of none other, Anwar Ibrahim. Please name me another country that actually beat Malaysia on this one. Anyone knows about it? I really want to know.

Anyway, I dont want to say lot about those thing. I dont even know who right or wrong. Life is too short to just talk about other people sex scandal.


However, I do find it's interesting about his wife who is Wan Azizah. It has been 11 years(more or less) Anwar being accused doing sodomy and now hiring a prostitute. Anwar also have gone to jail for few years ( I cant remember the figure) but still she is still there for him. In fact, I think the reason why Anwar still active right now is because of his wife. Well, just like Ummar bin Khattab said,

"Laki-laki sukses itu dilihat dari dua hal. Yg pertama siapa Ibunya dan yg kedua siapa Istrinya."

We, teenagers are eager to find our partner. Some have already date with each other and some find dating is wrong and choose to marry first. Either way, we never certain the relationship will last forever. I no expert on this one but what I can say is relationship collapsed due to different of interest from both side.

So, find a partner like Anwar get Wan Azizah so that she will be with you when you working for your goal in life but the main question is

What are your goal in life?

Race, Islam and Akmal Alep.

Bismillah,

I have being surprisingly unproductive for the past week due to things I've done for this past week. Of course all of those thing is the thing that will never bring me to Jannah.

Astaghfirullah.

Anyway, I got lot of thing to be said. I've thinking a lot for the couple of days about what's happening now to the world, Malaysia or in my organisation as well. Not really well for any of them.

One of the reason to not thinking a lot because it just bring bad news for me. Ignorance is a blessing? Let talk about this sometimes later.

I have watched one video my friend post on facebook and with His takdir, somehow it's related to what I've been thinking for past couple weeks. With all due respect guys, I can see your point from seerah point of view and I have no intention at all to condem or critict you guys. Perhaps or almost certain your deeds to Allah may be greater than me.

However, this thought is killing me and I have to say this at this blog or else I cant be sleeping at night!! (ok,this is too exaggerating)

Back to what I'm saying, the point is this is only my mere opinion which maybe wrong at all (eventhough I quite confident at it).

For a starter, it's better if we look at population of Malaysia.

Malay 50.4%, Chinese 23.7%, indigenous 11%, Indian 7.1%, others 7.8% (2004 est.)

(taken from CIA-The world Factbook)

For me, it's not very convincing statistic for Malays since they only have a major by only 0.4%. Well, in their defence it's still a big majority against any religion singularly.

But what my major concern is when I try to look at religion convertion rate. Well, someone prefer the word revert to Islam rather than convert to Islam. Let's just use revert to Islam. Surprisingly or rather expected for me, I cant find the data for it. In contrast at Britain, thousands have being reverted to Islam. It maybe a small and insignificant when we compare to the whole population of Britain but we cant deny that it is still a big number.

The problem that we have in Malaysia is Islam is too synonym to Malays to the extend that non-muslim thought that Islam is Malays which is obviously wrong. In Britain, people dont see it that way which make the reversion higher.

Let us not forget Sabah and Sarawak. Just how many Malays at there?

Speaking of which, I remember my friend told me one interesting story. He is Bajau and weirdly, he was denied to enter 'sekolah agama' since he was in standard 2 until he started secondary school but his friend who is Bajau easily got accepted eventhough he just applied it during he was in standard 5. Race vs religion dont you think?

What I'm trying to say is, we got lot of work to do and I didn't agree if we just focusing on one race only because Malaysia in not only consist of Malays. Sorry but I just can't buy it.

Well, I think this is what I believe and it's up to you whether to accept it or reject it. Not really affecting my life after all. But, what do you believe in?

p/s : tahniah pada kawan saya, Akmal Alep kerana mewarisi kerja saya yang tak berapa nak jalan. It was an interesting day for me yesterday.(funny to be exact.hahaha)

What I believe.

After like 5 months, I finally finish reading this book. The book is good but the language somehow is not at my level. Well, in the author defence, the book is disscussing about serious matter thus the complex languange. (or my english is just not good enough)

When I started to read this book, it feel kind off weird when people didn't understand what he's trying to say all this time because I think what he try to say is a simple message and every human by default should agree with it. But on a second thought, things are not that simple and people differ in thought for lot of reason and the reason why I always agree with him might be due to same 'fikrah'. So I started to apply what he saying in this book, 'accepting without judging'.

I learned lot of thing from this book and I highly recomend you to read this book but bear in mind his english is not really simple. One of the thing that he trying to say is why and how Islam is hard to accepted in US and Europe. His argument is very valid and seems like a good solution for me.

Somehow, I think the very same thing can be apply back in Malaysia. We manage to get independance for about 50 years. I live in Malaysia for like 20 years. But how many non-malay friend that I have? How many non-muslim friends that I have? I have become racist without I realise it for 20 years and violated what Quran told me to do. Maybe you guys should be asking yourselves the very same question, how many non-muslim you have in Malaysia?

And I manage to say that Malaysia are multicultural and independent country for 20 years.

Am I pathetic? Yes I do.

Alhamdulillah for allowing me to read this book and open up my horizon and redefine my definition of racist.
