Zendra,

Saya ambil nota atas input anda dan terima kasih. Sejarah membuktikan asal-usul Malayo-Polynesia-Austronesian juga dari alam Melayu. Banyak perkataan2 di Kepulauan Pasifik yang sama dengan kita seperti niur, mata. Tempat mudah untuk bersua dengan orang Cham Vietnam ialah dimasjid2 Ho Chin Minh.

Mengumpul bibliografi menjadi "forte" saya dan telah menerbitkan 3 buah buku berkenaan pertanian dan tumbuhan.

Historiografi Alam Melayu ini luas, saban hari ada juga maklumat diperolehi. Hanya mereka yang tidak mengetahui sejarah mengatakan kita pendatang.

perkasa: nov 4 2010

Perihal Perkasa.

Saya sungguh hairan mengapa ada sebilangan politik veteran tidak memahami pendirian atau prinsip negarawan agung Tun Dr Mahathir. Pada hal mereka telah mendampingi beliau dengan dekat sebagai menteri dan sebagainya lebih daripada dua dekad. Masih lagi mereka mencurigai kesahihan beliau. Apakah maknanya ini?

1. Mereka mudah lupa terutamanya orang yang otak lemah (terlalu lama berpolitik, umur sudah lampau) tetapi berlagak pandai.

2. Ada yang naik ranggi ingin menunjuk kepandaian bila memegang jawatan tetapi ibarat tin kosong.

3. Ada pengaruh luar yang menekan mereka supaya berputar belit ia-itu ikut telunjuk.

4. Ada agenda tersendiri atau kepentingan peribadi seperti untuk mengekalkan kedudukan yang tergugat.

5. Pengecut dan tidak pitah dengan fakta bila ditentang oleh parti lawan atau pihak2 tertentu. Dulu kononnya berkobar-kobar.

6. Mereka mesti berundur dari memegang jawatan dalam politik dan pemerintahan sebelum PRU13.

7. Rakyat kenal sangat siapa mereka yang bermuka tebal. Masihkah PM memberi kekebalan? Muliakan mereka, persetankan generasi akan datang?

Dalam perjalanan balik dari umrah sempat singgah di Karachi (sebelum kacau bilau) untuk beberapa hari. Di bazaar kain ada yang tahu berbahasa " Mari, kain baju kurung, murah-murah". Di bazaar Mekah pun ramai bertutur begitu. Bahasa Melayu mudah dipelajari dan ada nilai komersial! Di negeri Cina pun ada mata pelajaran Melayu di universiti Beijing.

Orang2 seperti MP itu memang sengaja melemparkan kata2 begitu supaya nak tahu tindakbalas Melayu. Terjawab atau tidak? Kalau dijawab bagaimana hujahnya? Nampaknya RT lah antara mereka yang bernas dan tegas menjawab. Kerap kita dengar (bila hendak membuat sesuatu) "Apa dia orang kata nanti?" Ada pula pemimpin cakap seakan begitu bermakna tidak bijak mematahkan cakap.

Nusantara adalah alam Melayu dan catitan sejarah Cina dahulu pun mengatakan begitu. SAVE sedang mengumpul bibliografi (kini 350 halaman) tentang sejarah dan budaya Melayu Nusantara - Malaysia, Indonesia, Filipina, Thailand (Patani), Brunei, Singapura, Campa yang akan diterbitkan tahun hadapan, Insyallah.

alamak, my grandpas started wahabism: nov 5 2010

Anonymous said...

So what's wrong with wahabism, the protector of the sacred mosque in Mekah. Many of us got mixed up about their true leanings due to political history and other forms of misinformation. They don't tolerate keramat or over-reverence of graves.

Strange that you say religion is a confusing and illogical subject. Is Islam confusing you or are you referring to the others?

kesan perjanjian tanah ktm disingapura: sept 27 2010

al-Deen said...

Apabila disebut Singapura hati setiap Melayu jati mesti terkilan tidak kesudahan. Perasaan Melayu dibodohi Cina dan Melayu bodoh sombong pun ada. Terlampau banyak detik-detik sejarah yang memalukan Melayu nak persalahkan siapa?:

- todak melanggar rakyat diperintah tahan betis!
- Temenggong serahkan pulau
- kalah pembicaraan kes Natrah
- setelah ia jadikan kita kuda tunggangan senang2 keluar dari Malaysia
- bekalkan air dengan murah beli kembali dengan harga tinggi
- tanah/harta dijohor berpindah hak
- koridor Iskandar utk siapa?
- hilang Pulau Batu Putih
- entah kerap mana mereka mencerobohi ruang udara kita
- LKY menyalak kita
- Melayu singapura dianaktirikan
- jambatan dibatalkan
- dibekalkan pasir untuk menyempitkan selat
- Melayu yang kaya menyimpan dana diSingapura
- kini tanah di woodlands

Sampai bila pemimpin Melayu menggadai bangsa, tanahair dan maruah?

Israel nuclear bomb: Aug 12 2010

By al-Din on August 15, 2010 7:25 PM

The rogue state Israel is using nuclear arsenal as a deterrent and to intimidate Middle East countries. It wouldn't nuke its neighbours because the radiation fallout from the nuclear explosion will destroy Israel also. Only as a last desperate measure Israel may use it to bring everyone to oblivion.

The atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945 weighed about 10,000lbs and contained 15 lbs of Plutonium-239. The energy released was equivalent to 20,000 tons (20KT), of TNT, which corresponds to 1.3KT/lb of Pu-239. It wiped out 40% of the city and killed about 35,000 people.

The destructive effects of such bomb size include:

1. Ground burst crater
Diameter 600ft
Depth 40ft

2. Blast destruction of buildings, radius (miles)
Brick-ground burst 0.9
Brick-air burst 1.2
Woood-ground burst 1.5
Wood-air burst 2.0

3. Fire, radius (miles)
Destroys everything combustible 0.7
People received 2nd degree burns 2.1

4. Initial gamma radiation of 500R, radius (miles) 0.8


After more than 60 years, the US attended the annual remembrance day at Hiroshima recently.

Knowledge is power and can be evil depending on who and how we use it.

Israel nuclear bomb: Aug 12 2010

By al-Din on August 14, 2010 7:36 PM

It is no denying that the rogue state has the nuclear bombs. It If it was ready to export them to South Africa in 1975 then surely they have them at a much earlier date. Israel was treating such bombs simply as a commercial item without due concern for world safety. This adds to the macabre of nuclear proliferation which is what the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty trying to control and which Israel refuse to sign.

Their scientists and compatriots (in the US and elsewhere) have full command of the nuclear technology. Einstein, a German Jew in 1905 came up with the theory of relativity, interconversion of matter and energy, E=mc2. Since then, physicists in Europe were experimenting to release the 'frozen energy' indicated in the formula. Einstein fled to the US in 1934.

In 1932, Chadwick, a British physicist discovered neutron, a new atomic particle with no electric charge. In 1937, Ferni, an Italian physicist using neutrons experimented bombarding Uranium-235 but it was 2 years later that Lise Meitner, an Austro- Jewish refugee from Hitler and Otto Frisch provided the correct explanation of the outcome.

The U-235 nucleus, absorbing the neutron, splitted into two fragments ie. fissioned. In the course such event, more neutrons are emitted. Another refugee from the Nazis, Hungarian physicist suggested that a chain of such reactions can be sustained.

By the summer of 1939, German physicist Werner Heisenberg commented there were 12 people who have collective knowledge how to assemble an atomic bomb. By 1941, the race for an atomic bomb was going neck-to-neck between the US and Germany. By summer of 1945, by all accounts Germany had lost the race mainly because many of its top nuclear physicists had fled to former.

On July 16, 1945, the first atomic bomb, code-named Trinity, was exploded at Alamogordo, New Mexico. The Manhattan Project, headed by Robert Oppenheimer took 3 years to make it happen. He was stunned by the sheer magnitude of the blast and 'I am become death, shatterer of worlds', a passage from a Hindu scripture came across his mind.
