Poetry

Rahmah My mum...in conjunction of her 84th b'day.

She's my mum, my wonderful mum,
Her age is eighty four,
Raised ten children, it's quite a sum,
A mum we love to adore

To each and everyone she took good care
"Humans" we grew up to be,
Cross her path, none of us would dare,
Tho timid a lady was she.

First to be up in the early morning,
And last to sleep at night,
Always in her spirit of giving,
Teaching us to do what's right.

And today she's old and aging,
It's time for us to repay,
Will try to ease her ills and aching,
Good health and long life we pray.

And to our children we shall teach,
To live in peace and harmony,
Perpetuating all that mum did preach,
Living a life in dignity.

The piece above is my hearts expression,

The same feeling in you and me,

Mum, indeed,  is Gods best creation,

It’s real and never a fantasy.

To those who read in appreciation,

And this I have to say,

Every mum needs our attention,

We’ll all be old mum or dad one day.

Carrots, Eggs and Coffee.

A carrot, an egg, and a cup of coffee...You will never look at a cup of coffee the same way again.

A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up, She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.

Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil; without saying a word.

In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her daughter, she asked, ' Tell me what you see.'

'Carrots, eggs, and coffee,' she replied.
Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard boiled egg.
Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. The daughter then asked,
'What does it mean, mother?'
Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity: boiling water. Each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.
'Which are you?' she asked her daughter. 'When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?
Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?
Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart?
Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavour. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you. When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest do you elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

27th August – Today my birthday

Today is my birthday,

And I am indeed happy,

Firstly I would like to say,

Thank-you  Allah Almighty.

It is with indeed Your grace,

And  Your kindness too,

In this world I’m given space,

With lots of hullabaloo.

And next my mother and father,

Treating me like a dove,

Food clothing and shelter,

Provided me with lots of love.

My mum whispered in my ears,

“ I will always pray for you, Gee!”,

And I can’t help shedding  tears,

At this age still loving me.

It’s common to be receiving a gift,

On birthdays year to year,

But I’ll be making a cultural shift,

It’s mum that we shud hold dear,

It’s mum  who should be receiving,

And let me make her day,

For she has always been giving,

And for her happiness I  pray.

Oh Allah Almighty!

As mum and dad, to me have given,

Accord them with mercy and pity,

In peace, place them in Heaven.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Wishing all my friends “Happy New Year”
To all of you from afar and near
May we be blessed by God Almighty
Showering peace and eternal prosperity

May He pardon us all the sin
A new clean life we shall begin
Let it be in “sunshine” or “rain”
In true brotherhood, we’ll meet again

What does UMNO Penang fear?

Some Muslims in Penang were highly agitated when the khatib ( the man who reads sermons) offered prayers for the Penang chief minister. In what manner was it said? Was LGE's name mentioned in the context of something?

Actually we have not heard what actually transpired other than listening to a few emotionally charged statements from some people. Who are these people? If they are UMNO members, then their response was hardly surprising.

To me, the fearful responses thus far only reflect how desperate UMNO is in re capturing the Malay support in Penang. I won't say re-capture Penang, because that is already impossible. what UMNO fears now is losing Malay support in Penang. That is like the end of the world.

What UMNO fears is a rising consciousness among Penang Malays that despite detaching themselves from UMNO, their lot can still be improved. This will be the beginning of a wider consciousness debunking the myth that equates loyalty and allegiance to this country to loyalty and allegiance to UMNO. The two things are not the same. If Penang is successful in demolishing this long perpetuated myth and this awareness becomes a national phenomenon, UMNO is in serious trouble.

Neither UMNO nor Zaid Hamidi who is the Pengerusi Perhubungan UMNO Penang have the answer to counter this rising tide. The only way they can hit back is by manipulating the sermon issue. You hope this will escalate into a tidal wave of resentment.

I say, if we truly love UMNO we should stop this childish and very shallow strategy. offer Penang Malays a better vision and promises of a better future. Zahid Hamidi is wishing he is not the Pengerusi Perhubungan UMNO Negeri. Ini kes nyaya kat chek no.

Since capturing Penang from Gerakan and UMNO in the last elections, the state government has made serious inroads into winning the hearts and minds of the Muslim community. Mosques and suraus have been receiving a lot of facilities and assistance from the state government. What is the civil thing to do if someone has given you assistance? You say thank you sir.

So the particular imam who created the present controversy who happens to be the brother of the Penang mufti was telling the congregation that Muslims should pray the good deeds undertaken by the state government under Lim Guan Eng are carried out continuously. Muslims are thanking the state government under LIM Guan Eng. In addition, Muslims should be hopeful that Lim Guan Eng embraces Islam. What probably happened was perhaps Guan Eng's name was mentioned in that context.

To me, this is a stupid way of trying to leverage on a religious issue. The present controversy serves to further expose our hypocrisy. For so many years while Penang was under the JV government of Gerakan and UMNO, the lot of Penang Malays has not improved greatly. You even had a PM from Penang and he didn't achieve anything much for Penang Malays. He could offer only some nebulous ideas about Islam. People wanted more physical improvements not more sermonizing.

Before that you also had a former deputy PM from Penang, who did not achieve much either. All he could do was gurmal here and gurmal there. Senator Koh Tsu Koon could never match what Guang Eng has achieved in 2 years with what he has done all those years while in power. So really, you don't have any defense against what the present state government is doing.

The better action by Penang Malays is to throw out all those useless UMNO leaders who rose to prominence not through offering great ideas and thinking, but got where they are by mastering political intrigues. It's the comeuppance for many of these hollow leaders. For years you have come up not through the brilliance of your ideas or competency but you rise because you are more skillful at demolishing your political rivals, you rise by stabbing the backs of your political comrades, you rise because you plot here and there- suddenly you find you don't have the substance to sustain your political relevance.

So you have incompetent UMNO leaders thinking they can stand toe to toe with better qualified Gerakan leaders. Suddenly you realize, your skills in removing your own political comrades don't work when dealing with people from other parties.

So I find the Penang UMNO leadership and its 'spokesmen' behaving hypocritical in using religion to counter the state government.

Let's have some finesse fellers.

Stop The Fabrications And Lies

by Din Merican on Wednesday, August 11, 2010 at 9:42pm
Attorney-General, IGP & MACC Chief:Stop The Fabrications and Lies
People have asked me why I don't seem to write about Sodomy II. They are curious if I have abandoned Anwar Ibrahim's cause or struggle. They are curious if I know something about Anwar that I don't seem to want to write in his defence, or report about his on-going trial. Yes, I do know a lot of things about Anwar, most important of which is that he is not guilty of the charge they have framed against him, whether in Sodomy I or Sodomy II. I know a lot of things about Anwar to know that Sodomy II is as evil as Sodomy I.
Sodomy 2 is a lost cause
So, why don't I write about Anwar's trial? Because, it is a lost cause! Because the BN government is galvanizing all its powers to
fix Anwar and they will convict him by hook or by crook. In Sodomy I, the combination of the government's might was used - the Police, the Attorney-General and the Courts. The same base tactic is being used again in Sodomy II, nothing creative nothing ingenuous. So there is nothing more to write there. I have become "Lelah" (the closest English word I can think of is "exasperated"), knowing that Sodomy II will end like Sodomy I. If such a thing can happen to a former Deputy Prime Minister, what hope is there for Rule of Law, for Truth and Justice to prevail?
Never Give Up Hope
But I am being reminded by concerned Malaysians that we cannot give up hope. For the sake of our future generations, we must believe that change is possible. We must believe that the struggle must not end with just the fight for Justice for Anwar. We now have the opportunity to send a strong message to this BN government that it must change, or it will be changed. We can direct the mind of the masses to recognize the fabrications and lies in the case of Kugan, Teoh Beng Hock, Altantuya Shariibu, Dato' Ramli Yusuff and Lawyer Rosli Dahlan.
We can galvanise public view so that the perpetrators are identified and be remembered so that they cannot hoodwink us to believe otherwise. It used to be said that history is written by the victors. But in this cyberworld, the pens of the individual observers can reach out to the hearts and mind of the masses. We can overcome the lies of the mainstream media which are nothing more than propaganda tools of the government.
Teoh Beng Hock's Suicide Note: The Mother of All Fabrications
While the family is still mourning Teoh Beng Hock's death. While Malaysians are still infuriated by the death of a young man whom the MACC has admitted was needed just as a witness. While the facts show Teoh was thrown out of the 14th Floor office of the MACC Shah Alam office, the MACC is conniving at a cover up. It is incredulous that on the day of the incident, the Selangor MACC Director should see it fit to run and seek directions from Dato' Abu Kassim in Putrajaya instead of attending to Teoh's death. That Abu Kassim would have then directed a denial to be issued, shows his complicity in this cover up. It is unbelievable that the whole machinery of the MACC, the Police and the AG's office are then seen working in unison towards this cover up.
Still, the public was willing to give the MACC a chance to explain what happened through the Coroner's Enquiry. But now, at this late stage, it is just unbelievable that AG Gani is showing contempt to all Malaysians by contriving a "suicide note". This is an affront to Malaysian sensibilities. This is insulting Malaysian intelligence. This is just too revolting.
Already, Attorney General Gani Patail has been embroiled in numerous allegations of fabrications and lies. Lawyer Manjit Singh Dhillon had previously accused Gani Patail of fabrication in Nallakaruppan's firearm's case. Dato' Mat Zin, former KL Police OCCI, had also accused Gani Patail and Musa Hassan of fabricating evidence in Anwar's black eye case. These two man are just too tainted. And yet Gani Patail now wants Malaysians to believe the existence of a suicide note? I will not bother commenting any further than to just quote what my good friend and Member of Parliament Gobin Singh Deo has said to Gani Patail: " I say it again, resign. Take the blame, do it honourably. If this can happen wit Teoh's case, what about other cases and prosecutions?"
Indeed, what about other cases? While in Teoh's case, they fabricated a suicide note, what did they do in the Altantuya murder case? Did they not make the Immigration records disappear? Did they not do that after they made Altantuya herself disappear? Or more like blown her to bits. Yes, they C4'd her and then erased the Immigration records of her entry. Yes that's what they did - fabricate and lie. Two policemen were convicted while Abdul Razak Baginda was acquitted. AG Gani did not appeal although the two policemen could not have done it on their own. AG Gani did not appeal and Razak Baginda made a quick exit out of the country.
In the Sabah case against Dato' Ramli, the MACC officer , Sok One a/l Essen lodged a false report by naming Dato' Ramli in a report. Sok One said that he received a telephone call and wrote on a piece of paper of what he heard about Dato' Ramli from this penghulu kampong . Under cross examination in Court, the Penghulu denied that he ever mentioned Ramli's name. Sok One has since admitted in Court that he had destroyed the paper on which the information was written. In effect, this MACC officer had admitted that he destroyed evidence. Judge Supang Lian acquitted Dato' Ramli in that case. AG Gani appealed and lost in the High Court. Yet, AG Gani is still appealing further to the Court of Appeal!
In Dato' Ramli's earlier KL case, the MACC IO Azmi Ismail admitted that his report against Dato' Ramli for being involved in corruption was not of his own knowledge or investigation but purely based on another report. That led to the startling discovery of several other cover reports No. 098/2006 to R/No: 075/2006 to R/No. 072/2006 to R/No: 065/2006 which all turned out to be fabrications as Dato' Ramli's name was not mentioned in any of it. That was why I wrote about Kevin Morais: The Liar Who Got Buried In His Lies. Judge M. Gunalen also acquitted Dato' Ramli without calling for his defence. AG Gani is also appealing. AG Gani did not see it fit to appeal against Razak Baginda's acquittal in a murder case, but sees it fit to appeal against Dato' Ramli in a fix-up misdeclaration of assets case. From this, you can AG Gani's priorities!
Recent Persecution of Dato' Ramli Yusuff
Then in the present Summons case against Dato' Ramli before Judge SM Komathy, the IO Wan Abdul Rahman admitted he knew there was an unsigned letter of approval from then IGP Tan Sri Bakri for Dato' Ramli to form a company and to be its shareholder and director. He did not ask where is the signed copy of that letter. He did not interview Tan Sri Bakri to confirm that Tan Sri Bakri had indeed given his approval. He did not interview Dato' Robiah to confirm that there was indeed approval and a signed letter.
MACC IO Wan Abdul Rahman did not ask how is it that the signed letter of approval from Tan Sri Bakri disappeared from Dato Ramli's service record kept with the PDRM's Pentadbiran when Musa Hassan became IGP in September 2006. Did Musa Hassan have anything to do with the disappearance of that signed letter? After all Musa Hassan is the famous mattress carrier in Sodomy I!
What is so clear here is that IGP Musa Hassan, MACC Chief Abu Kassim and AG Gani Patail are involved in fabrications and lies. Evidence can disappear and appear like David Copperfield's magic show. Witnesses can die while under their watch. What is so clear is that Malaysians can no longer trust the highest law enforcement officers of this country. It is time we say to the Home Minister Dato' Hishammuddin Hussein Onn- on the grave of your father , do the honorable thing. Don't you dare extend Musa Hassan's contract.
It is time we say to the faces of Gani Patail, Musa Hassan and Abu Kassim – Stop these lies and fabrications. It is time we say to them –Resign Now!


How did Umno get hold of such a document which is still with the AG? Anwar Ibrahim has no access to important documents even the police report, witness list and medical reports, but Umno members get them so easily.
