Semenanjung Tanah Melayu: mar 3 2011

By al-Din on March 3, 2011 11:42 PM

Many have established their footholds abroad (PR,citizenship, sponsorship) - Australia, Canada, NZ, USA, UK .... They can afford to create kacau here knowing of the save haven somewhere let the devil take the hindmost. Just being throne-ridden doesn't qualify one as king of kings! That is kinkish.

The Ughurs in Xinjiang have been assimilated into China for centuries yet they are still being persecuted. China is a racist country.

For the pendatangs who don't know the Malays of Nusantara read more.
The Malays are the original people of Nusantara. DNA profiling would further help to establish the inter-connectedness of the various races, ethnics,tribes of the Malay Archipelago.

jawapan kepada nik aziz: feb 16 11

By al-Din on February 16, 2011 10:12 PM

Islam kuda tunggangan politik NA dan dia dan penyokongnya pula menjadi kuda tunggangan DAP. NA is beyond recall. Nonetheless, things need to be said and stand corrected for that is required of Muslims otherwise we are deemed as collaborators. At stake also is Malay unity and hence survival.

On Point 38: Alfarabi (Abu Nasr Muhammad Ibn Muhammad Ibn Tarkhan Ibn Awzalagh al-Farabi, b.870-d.950) widely referred as "the second teacher" ie. second after Socrates was born in Turkestan. He first studied Islamic jurisprudence and music in Bukhara, then moved to Marv to study logic with a Nestorian Christian monk, Yuhanna Ibn Haylan.

Around 905, Alfarabi left Baghdad for Byzantium to study Greek sciences and philosophy for 8 years. He was among the first to explore the tensions between the philosophy of classical Greece and that of Islam, as well as religion generally.

Alfarabi's interest in mathematics is evidenced in commentaries on the 'Elements' of Euclid and 'Almagest' of Ptolemy, as well as writings on the history and theory of music. His political writings on the 'Philosophy of Plato and Aristotle' rendered him as the founder of Islamic political philosophy. He died in Damascus.

sejarah: jan 28 2011

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.

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.
