History is in the making in the Arab/Muslim world - Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt, Yemen, Albania, Sudan. For many years their leaders turned deaf ears to the needs of the people. They become arrogant. People are fed up with them. Food, justice and freedom are what they want very badly.
Mubarak has elevated himself to a pharoah. His heart is of stone to close Rafah and deny Palestinians to get supplies. Mahmoud Abbas is willing to kill his own people. Both of them are conspirators of Israel- U.S.
Let the riots be a warning to other Muslim countries Malaysia included. Ordinary people cannot achieve high income economy but want affordable food supplies. Don't let your deaf ears put this country in flame.
Muslim leaders are a sorry lot. History is in riot. The ink has not dried up yet.

sejarah: jan 28 2011

In the days of lore when men rule and make wars, their folk tales passed through the generations are thus his-story! Kill or be killed. His-story was simple, no sensitivity.
Let history be simple. Face the facts. Once doctored and adulterated it would be like watching a movie based on true story - more interesting no doubt.
It goes without saying that the winner makes the history. History books said Edmund Hilary conquered Mt Everest, the sherpa was rather an after thought. Kulup Riau was with Camerons in discovering the plateaux in the highlands of Perak-Pahang.
Are we historiophobic? We hasten to forget earlier contributions and Malaysianised street names. Jalan Speedy no more. He was the DO of Hulu Perak at one time, dressed and went round bare footed like the local. Winstedt knows about the Malays more than ourselves.
The DOs of past make history, now they destroy. Historical buildings are neglected and torne down - Cameron Highlands, Kajang, Batu Gajah, Tampin ....

censorship: jan 17 2011
By al-Din on January 18, 2011 10:53 PM
The government under Hussein Onn banned "The Malay Dilemma", this prolonged the Malays to slumber by a decade. Precious time for awakening was lost. Misjudged censorship has taken its toll. Even then someone didn't wake up and yet became PM in slumber!
Tun has been dismissed (censored) by UMNO at one stage. Despite many setbacks, to be able to persevere and continue to struggle for the sake of the nation is a mark of objectivity of a true leader.
Crooks will pry and exploit the loopholes in man-made laws. If we are vigilant enough the truth will prevail but normally damage follow suit in long overdue process of law.

Kampung Baru 2: Jan 11 2011
By al-Din on January 11, 2011 9:15 PM
Kg Baru adalah tanah reserve Melayu. Melayu dalam Tanah Melayu ada reservation? Implikasi:
1. Kolonialis melihatkan Melayu tercicir dan tersepit oleh kemajuan bangsa pendatang terpaksa memperuntukan tanah reserve untuk Melayu. Pemikiran mereka lebih jauh.
2. Dulunya Melayu (tempatan) tidak agresif keluar dari kampong meneroka tanah dan meluaskan milik. Yang banyak membuka perkampungan adalah Melayu Minang, Jawa, Mendailing dll yang berhijrah kesini. Mereka di Seberang agresif merantau/belayar hinggakan ribuan pulau ditakluki termasuk Natuna misalnya. Kita hilang Batu Putih. Ada hak tak tahu jaga!
3. Selepas Merdeka banyak estet dijual dan Cina membeli. Orang Melayu yang berupaya tidak ambil peluang langsung. Jelas perancangan kita cetek.
4. Nama saja Pejabat Tanah Melayu control, mohon tanah makan masa puluhan tahun kerana fail simpan dibawah maupun hilang. Oleh kerana terlalu ramai kecewa Melayu berperasan tidak guna mohon tanah. Tambahan "Kalau beri tanah, jual", DO kata. Siapa yang banyak menggadai tanah, tidak kerajaan negeri? Di Cameron Highlands - kaum Cina bermaharaja meratakan gunung?
Pernah saya syurkan supaya adakan lagi reserve/perkampungan Melayu di CHighlands selain daripada Taman Sedia. Sibuntu akal (Penghulu) cakap "Apa orang lain kata". Juga, disyurkan supaya tapak surau yang lebih luas disediakan di Batu 33. Sibuntu akal (ADO) "Tanah tidak ada!" Untuk agama pun tak berani inikan bangsa!
Melayu dengan tanahnya. Biarkan, biarkan.

The anti-semitic: Dec 25 2010
By al-Din on December 25, 2010 12:07 PM
Wonder where Shakespear's ranking as a jew-hater is? He wrote literatures on Shylock and others where jews were depicted in very negative terms. Perhaps there is no posthumous ranking.
In one of their religous books a picture of Noah is shown naked in stupor slumped on a chair being covered with blanket by his (two) sons! If they can degrade our beloved Prophet Noah in such atrocious light they can potray worst things about people. For them to 'kill' someone is easy, just make stories of scandals and other modes of character assassination.
The fashinable ladies of Madras flocked to see an exquisite figurine
from China covered in a glass case. It was only displayed a few hours a day in the exhibition. The owner said other items are for sale but not the figurine because it is one and the only one. However, on the last day of the show it was sold at a very handsome price and the owner made a killing. It was revealed to Frank Swettenham who visited the show that the figurine was bought cheap made of special wax. Swettenham said something about the businessman, a jew.

The United States: dec 17 2010
By al-Din on December 18, 2010 10:25 PM
The Yankee bloodbath started when they gun-slinged the Red Indians, the indigenous people. It was genocide. Thousands of bisons were gunned down to deprive the Indians their source of meat and hide for clothing.
It was beyond humanity when Africans were pirated and cruelly enslaved into the South. Many of them were Muslims. It was their first bloodletting of Muslims. By the turn of events, now they have a descendent of Africa as their master!
Knowing Islam will rise from the West, they want to stall it by all means. The centres of former great civilisations - Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan now Muslims must be stone aged. A defeated nation defaced of heritage cannot be proud and confident.
They can plan but Allah is the mightiest planner of all.

Bodyguard yang dihantar Allah: dec 1 2010
Anon said...
Mei 1996. Ada koferensi di Sun City, 50 batu keselatan Johannesburg. Hari Jumaat saya sudah sampai sementara peserta2 belum.
Baik saya ke Johannesburg tengok bandar. Saya naik bas. Di Stesen bas saya diberitahu oleh peniaga supaya simpan kamera dalam beg dan berhati.
Di atas jambatan saya menoleh kebelakang. Berasa syak bila 2 pemuda kulit hitam nampak seperti berhenti serta merta agak.
Nampak masjid dihadapan dan hendak sembahyang dulu.
Saya jalan belok kiri dimana lebih banyak kedai dan ramai orang. Rasa lega. Tiba2 banyak tangan memegang dan rasa nak tumbang kebelakang. Ada yang meyeluk saku seluar, saku baju, tutup mulut saya, memaut leher.
Dalam terperanjat itu saya sedar sedang dirampok. Ada 6-7 pemuda kulit hitam keliling saya. Tiba2 tangan memacukan pisau 6 inci dikening saya. Otak saya berkata mengapalah saya berada disini. Teringat keluarga. Matilah saya.
Allah-hu-Akbar saya menjerit sekuat hati. Tidak buat apa, ajal sampai. Tak semena-mena saya dihumbankan keatas jalan. Menakjubkan. Hidup lagi. Masih menjerit Allah-hu-Akbar sekuat hati tidak putus2.
Sambil menjerit saya berlari mencari teksi. Minta teksi hantar kestesen bas. Lambat rasanya nak sampai. Bolehkah saya percaya teksi ini?
Dalam stesen saya menggeletar. Dahaga. Mencungap. Mengambil nafas. Syukur kpd Allah saya selamat.
Tidak ada yang berani menolong saya semasa dirampok atau menjerit-jerit tadi. Bahkan saya perasan orang mulanya ramai kemudian berkurangan! Sengaja mereka masuk dalam kedai atau berjalan kearah lain? Tidak mahu masuk campur.
Bila reda saya lihat ada pasangan Indonesia warga tua duduk disebelah. Saya ceritakan apa yang berlaku. Si lelaki memberi saya kad yang masih saya simpan. Mereka dari Jakarta dan dalam institusi perubatan.
Saya ceritakan juga kpd pekedai yang memberi nasihat. Dia kata tahun lalu ramai pemain rugby Australia kena rampok.
Dalam stesen selamat kerana ada pengawal dalam dan luar bangunan. Saya bermalam dalam stesen, di atas bangku.
Keesokan saya naik bas ke Sun City. Diberitahu kena kongsi bilik hotel dengan saintis dari India. Alamak!
Allah-hu-Akbar.
