sound bytes - bersara: jan 14 2011

Jihad itu begitu mudah. Sungguh menyeluruh. Manis. Berjihad tidak bersara. Berjihad adalah tuntutan Allah keatas manusia sebagai makhluknya.

Jihad bukan saja untuk diri sendiri atau keluarga bahkan untuk cekrawala alam - untuk bangsa, manusia baik muslim atau tidak, untuk yang bernyawa haiwan dan tumbuhan, semesta alam sekeliling air sungai-lautan, tanah gunung-ganang, udara bersih-nyaman , api suria-tenaga.

Hidup Tun penuh dengan jihad. Menjual di Pekan Rabu adalah jihad. Belajar menimba ilmu menjadi doktor adalah jihad. Berkeluarga dan mendidik anak2 adalah jihad. Bertugas di Langakawi adalah jihad.

Berpolitik dan menjadi PM selama 22 tahun adalah jihad yang tidak ada tolok bandingnya. Membuang pengkhianat2 negara adalah jihad. Menulis buku adalah jihad. Melawat dan memberi nasihat kapada negara2 Islam adalah jihad. Blog to unblock dan kungsi pengalaman-ilmu adalah jihad!

Tak dapat saya senaraikan jihad Tun. Hanya Allah yang lebih mengetahui. Teruskan berjihad Tun! Moga Allah panjangkan umur dan berkat kesihatan sekeluarga.

DearTun, Ever since you became the prime Minister I have always admire you and will always encourage my students at the universiteis that i have taught for almost 30 years (4 in all ) an I am now lecturing at Utp the prestigous university of the nation. Sad to say that the building is not been maintained especially the seminar rooms . Once a room that house some electrical things was flooded and no one noticed. I came to know when the room next to THE ONEi i was using could not function . After reports and more reports for nearly 1 month then came the maintenance. NeXt the contractors. This again delayed the whole process. I HOPE PEOPLE UP THERE SHOULD PRACTICE THE MANAGEMENT BY WALKING AROUND AND NOT JUST THE CHANCELLORY AREA.sORRY FOR SUCH TRIVIAL ISSUES BUT YOUR BLOG DISCUSSES EVERYTHING FROM ADVERT TO HIGHLY IMPORTANT THINGS. iT IS A REAL AVENUE FOR THE OLD AND YOUNG TO EXCHANGE IDEAS AND NOT BAD MOUTHING OTHERS. sTAY HEALTHY ANDMAY ALLAH BLESS YOU.

In these days banners of all sorts and sizes can be machine-produced at relatively low costs and hence explains its popularity and insatiaty.

Definitely there is an urgent need to regulate adverts nationwide. Indeed, it is getting out of hand and becoming an eyesore and sometimes a manace in many instances. There should be no more experimenting be it the government, politicians or the Ah Longs!

Mumbai bridge: Jan 4 2011

By al-Din on January 5, 2011 12:10 AM

For some years now our chips are just not at the bargaining table. Our chips are down. As a result we lost the (Brunei) oil fields, Pulau Batu Putih, KTM land and the just being-constructed scenic bridge.

Tenang is not tenang. The ghost of altanthuya is still hovering around. People with bad records are placed in top positions - Risda, Felda, SPAD. Pro-Mahasiswa of Unisel is voicing the right thing. Let professionals run technical organisations. For example, the former VC of UPM could bring Felda to greater heights.

Years ago to cross the small river near my kampong house was by means of a timber-log bridge. The common belief especially told to children then was that a new bridge requires a sacrifice, a head. The headhunting is supposedly done by 'keling sabit potong kepala' who carries a gunnysack.

Perhaps, the scenic bridge can only be successfully built after the sacrificial top head rolls.
