Mother’s Day

Happy Mother’s Day, this is not only the day we should be thanking our mother as they had sacrificed their whole life in giving everything that we need for our entire life. All the credit shall go the mother of a successful person. Without the mother, we will not be in this world at all. I’m deeply thankful to Allah S.W.T for giving me a wonderful mother who had been with me all the time. 9th May is not only the Mother’s day but also my father’s birthday. Both of them have stick with me all the time through thick and thin of my life. I’m fortunate to have parents, siblings and family members.

How about the unfortunate kids??

Pity

This feeling will cross our mind as we saw unfortunate people, but we never move one step ahead to help them. We gave them alms and then walk away. This also happens with me. This is common situation and some of us will just walk away as we are not in position to help them at all. No one is to be blamed for this.

We all know about Bukit Bintang as a shopping leisure and as place to hang out, but not all of us are aware the fact that there are almost 100 kids living on the street of Bukit Bintang. Their shelter is abandoned buildings. How horrible is this for kids aged seven to twenty three?

Would any of us live in place like this? I guess no one will.

We were so lucky, even we are not rich we still have all the three basic necessities; food, clothes and shelter. Some people who had made visit to see the kids told me that some of the kids only have food once a day; they have no clothes to change. I don’t know how the kids end up here, maybe runaway cases, child born out of wedlock marriages, peer influence, child abuse and many more.

As Malaysian and most importantly as a human I think we still hold the responsibility at least to help them improve their life. They are still kids and are unable to enjoy even basic necessities. This is so sad to hear.



What is sadder is that, the first person who had take initiative to help the kids is expatriate lady named Jill McWilliam. She has been helping all these kids in improving their life for almost 2 years. She spend 20-25 hours every week She had taken some steps by herself but she is calling for more and more help in order to save this kids life.

This issue is now published in some blogs and in Malaysia Kini. I know not all of us are in good position to help them financially but there are many ways to help them. I’m calling fellow friends to show awareness about these kids and help them build a better life. We may help our friends and family who are in need, so let’s take them as our family or friends.

A change in one child’s life can make a difference in the world.

LB: Jill McWilliam (of the Malaysiakini special report linked above) and child rights advocate Dr. Hartini Zainudin plan to open a drop-in centre in Jalan Alor in the next six months, where children can get a hot shower, a change of clothes, food, and counselling. Those who wish to help can email: jill.mcwilliam@gmail.com

Where are we??

Dead of a 15year old kid due to brutality of Polis Di Raja Malaysia:

Where are we?? Royal Commission is investigating the death of a 15 year old kid. As far as i remember, we had Royal Commission in Correct3 case, we had the Royal Commission for IPCMC and for death in custody.
Why do we need Royal Commision to solve this?? Everything is clear from the beginning and everyone knows what happen and we also have witness who tells everything clearly. Let me jog your memory of Kugan, was beaten to death while under police custody. "A person who is guilty until proven innocent" best term to be applied by Malaysian Police.
The same applied by the Police DIRAJA Malaysia in the case of AmirulRasyid, a 15 year old boy who was tragically murdered by four Police Officers. Bullet in the back of his head, how terrible it is??
This is not the first time we saw this brutality, we had previous case though. A women survived after Police had shot her 5 times after a car chase.
What is the best action had been taken by the PDRM for this recent case, all the four officers are transferred to desk jobs. What a decision?? Slow and steady I guess
Why that they are not suspended, why they still need the authority card and power as a police officer. To intimidate the witness?? Bet they will do
I still don't understand why the PDRM had not make a decision on the future of their brutal officers who killed a boy and hit the witness.
Since the beginning of the case, its something that so clear that the officers had acted outside their SOP and yet they area not suspended
Where is the justice to the family?? Would KPN transfer the officers to desk jobs if the victim has been his nephew or his relative. Shit no!!!
Lost of life in Malaysia had become so so common and what we all need is a Royal Commission to investigate?? Sure thing they will comfort the victim's family. The kids been shot as they are suspected as robbers?? What a statement and there is still no statement made to clear the name of the victim and his friend.
What I wish here is that,PDRM will clear the name of the kids and their family,
The boy is already dead at least let the boy rest in peace.

for God sake please ends this brutality...

IPCMC is suggested by the Commission that the government appointed and the Home Ministry said that they will not be bothered with the suggestion.

That is why I am asking why do we need to have Royal Commission when their decision or suggestion are not given attention. Waste of time, waste of money and waste of energy of all the good people who works for justice.


Al-Fatihah to him. And my deepest condolence to his parents, family members and friends.

meant to live

Fumbling my confidence
And wondering why the world has passed me by
Hoping that he's bent for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly, fly

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

Dreaming about Providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we've been livin with our eyes half open
Maybe we're bent and broken, broken

We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life, yeah

We were meant to live

right round

Speaking to reporters later, Muhyiddin said the Government was close to making a decision on the language of instruction for Mathematics and Science.

“I will be briefing the Prime Minister soon.”

The Teaching of Mathematics and Science in English policy was introduced in stages, starting with Year One, Form One and Lower Six students, in 2003.
Any more group who wants to made public their disagreement?

Its been 6years since its implementation but last year I was shocked when a group of people claiming that this action is destroying the Malay language. In my eyes, i didnt see any destruction at all but i see bright future for all the students.

“While we are aware of the importance of mother tongue instruction in the early years of childhood education, we also need to address the future needs of our youth,” DPM said. Why this group never think of this??

DO tell me how your kids gonna pursue their studies in oversea if this kind of study plan does not exist? It helps a lot. For God sake please take others interest as well, Education is a fundamental issue, its not a mere political mileage.

The result ive seen in the realm of reality is that students in University failed to catch up with Science and Math because its so new to them, they studied the subjects in Malay and now in English, they cant take it.
I'm urging all people, please re-think and re-set ur mind on this, do u really need to stay and fight for Malay language? Try to fight for the future. If this uni. students fail because they never had the touch of English in their subject, do tell me will the students who study math n science in English now will survive?? Damn sure they will. This changes also will make the students think twice about their future.aite? Ive seen the important of the language and i know all u people also know the important and will work for the sake of future
adios..

what is wrong??

Car bombing kills 30 in Lahore. What is wrong with Pakistan? This is the third so called terrorist attacks in Lahore itself this year. Leave alone other parts of the country. It is an Islamic country by nature. The country is divided by many different ISLAMIC beliefs. These differences become the license to kill. Taliban’s, Al Qaeda, Militants, and the rest of them are killing the innocents. Do you think the guard in the police station is really against them? I don’t think so. He chooses to be a guard to make a living. He chooses to feed his family rather than joining the Taliban and become the suicide bomber in the name of jihad. Today he is killed when he tried to defend his life. In recent times, Pakistan I assume as the most volatile country in the region. Marriot bombing, Taliban’s on Swat Valley, Sri Lankan Cricket Team attacked, Benazir’s assassination, Rape on Judiciary of the country and the list go on. Who benefits from all this? I don’t know. I don’t want to know. What I know, the mass public will suffer. The economy will suffer. The future generation will suffer. Thanks to the feast these people having today. Most of this feast in the name of jihad. For GodSake! So, 30 people died today. We may assume at least 15 families lose their breadwinner. What will happen to their kids? No body care.
Who will give them love? Who will give them education? Who will give the promise tomorrow will be a better day? No body will. No body dare. I hope my headhunting agent is safe. I still need her to find me a new job!

today

4^th June 2009

Dear Family & Friends,

today we stand in the world where there is no peace, no harmony. Cheers for life are gone with explosion and killing, the Western blame the Muslims and vice versa. We tend to argue just to prove the point that the other party is the one who create this mass destruction. People, blood, tears, death, vengeance, are the result of this chaos.

I'm seeking yours attention to read the speech given by the 44th President of US. He, the man who manage to fascinate me with the words, I don't know who prepared the speech for him,but he duly delivered it.

The fact is he did on what many others did not. He chooses to address us with the reality we face and humble request for together build a better future. We can be skeptical as always, choose an easy path and be ignorant but for once let’s put a hope and try to end this cycle of suspicion and mistrust. This is not a word of wisdom, this is the word of reality which we see in our eyes.
