LEST WE FORGET THE GURKHAS

The Gurkhas, famous for the bravery as soldiers  in Malaysia (before independence) and elsewhere in the Commonwealth. The generic name for Nepalese is derived from the town Gurkha situated at the lower reaches of the Great Himalayan Range. The Gurungs live at high elevations in the Range.

Living in the geographically challenged snowcapped mountains make them tough people.

The recent earthquakes in Nepal have killed more than 80,000 people and injured many more. It is hearthening that the government, MERCY and other NGOs are directly involved to save lives and help those affected.

Takzirah utk Orang Pencen. Ridhuan Tee, 22 Dis 2014

Dulunya ramai diantara mereka dikerumuni orang bawahan diarah kesana kemari. Perahu tidak berani digoncang kiranya perlu. Pangkat lagi dikejar. Status quo adalah jalan selamat. Kalau ada kesilapan tuding jari orang bawah. Maka herd mentality menebal. Selepas pencen pun ikut herd mentality. Kalau berseorang tidak berani bersuara. Sudah kepuncak susah jadi orang biasa buat amalan biasa. Masih hendak disanjung. Mencari isu tidak kena tempat, tidak berlandaskan bumi dipijak. Pemikiran dan hidup masih diawang2an? Walla hu alam.

Moderation: Annie vs Deputy Editor in Chief. 21 Dec 2014 (comment)

It is a historical fact that the Malays on the whole are moderates in their way of life. Unavoidably, there are extremism here and there as expected in any society. Following the middle part (being moderate) as followers of Islam is a crucial factor why they manage to adapt, acquiesce, and survive confrontations against conquering forces such the Siamese and later on the Europeans. The intruders have no reason to exterminate the local populace unlike what happened to the Red Indians or Maoris.

In a wider perspective we are living in a vicious world around stoked by agendas and falsities of power, greed, ideologies, imperialism, religion that lead to confusion of the purpose of humane existence but more towards nihilism. If we are ignorant and somehow we get caught in such vortex of mankind failings then gradually we will be in sucked into destructive mode to go after each others throat. It is easy to forget that there is whole gamut of interplay of human qualities - knowledge, wisdom, tolerance, understanding, give and take, discipline, patience, mutual respect, good governance, unto you your religion, and such at conscious or subconscious level to make for harmonious living.

All communities react to extremism. It is a vicious cycle and goes full circle

Ketua Kampong, JKK, dan Politik Perpecahan UMNO. SakmongkolA47, 17 Dis 2014

Saban hari kuasa digunakan untuk menguatkan cengkaman kerana hokap jawatan. Penduduk menjadi mangsa collateral damage. UMNO akan tersungkam dengan sendirinya kerana politik kotoran akarumbinya seperti perlantikan JKKK yang disebutkan. 

Jawatankuasa masjid pun telah lama dipolitikan. Ketua Cawangan/Bahagian meletakan kuncu2 mereka sebagai pengerusi dan ahli JK. Oleh itu JK masjid tidak mengadakan mesyuarat dan perlantikan. Akaun tidak ketentuan. Qariah berpecah belah

Siapakah extremis sebenarnya? Ridhuan Tee, 15 Dis 2014

Muhyidin mahu orang pencen gunakan kepakaran dan pengalaman untuk membangunkan negara. Maka lantas Kumpulan 25 angkat bakul sendiri dan bersuara. Kalau berseorangan tidak pernah bersuara. Ada elemen herd mentality!

Masa berjawatan ramai orang bawahan buat kerja ikut arahan. Boss dapat Tan Sri. Sudah pencen nak buat apa? Main golf? Cari kerja dan glamour? Ilmu kalau banyak elok dibukukan. Baru diakui ternama oleh khalayak ramai.
