Wake up man, wake up from your fantasies .Our future is at stake .

My wife have been complaining that she find it difficult to purchase 'Time Kontact' card from the regular Indian shop that she use to purchase. She has also been scouting round to all the 7 Eleven outlets in Shah Alam and also of no avail .She need the card to have a cheaper phone rate when phoning our daughter who is studying in Dublin . At first I didn't pay much attention to her complaints .But then when I realised that she has not been in contact with our daughter for some time , I began to search for the card . I contacted Time.Com HQ office and they told me to go to the BP stations . So I went to all the BP stations in KLang and Shah Alam and failed to get one .Not only that , they told me that they have ceased to be a dealer .That's funny .

This morning I saw a front page advertisement in The Star of Time Kontact which offer super low rate till the end of February 2006 . That is even funny ?? So I contacted Time.Com HQ and made my complaints . Their own Customer Service Officer made calls to these outlets and proved it was true that the cards are not in the market .The officer then called me to go a 7 Eleven outlet in Seksyen 24, Shah Alam . As we were on our way to Shah Alam we stopped at the 7 Eleven . To our amazement we were told by the shopkeeper that he had the last card and even that it was just for RM.20.00 .We inquired if there would be any more cards in the future and he told us no more . For what reason , he never told us . This is weird ??

I was thinking to myself no wonder most of the Bumiputra companies in our country goes bankrupt . Bank Islam , MAS , Metramac and many more are on the verge of bankrupt . Why ?? Definitely there are flaws going on in the organisations . The 'big' officers/managers only sits in their porch offices . They do not know what is going on in the market . There could be some sabotage from within which they fail to detect. When the Malays are going to realise that the community's future is at stake ? Most of of them are living in fantasies . Perhaps they have been watching too much of TV3's Akademi Fantasia that their lives are so engrossed in fantasies . Wake up man , wake up from your sleep and work hard , not only for you but for the community . We would end up beggars in our own country if we are not careful. Look at the other communities , they are forging forward silently without us realizing that .I was so sad till I did not realize that a few drops of my tears fell on my lap-top . If only the Malays work had as I did for almost 33 years , how nice the Malays would be in 10-20 years time .I am not bragging about myself but it was a fact that I slogged for 33 years to get what I got today - from a poor helpless kampong boy to be what I am today is not an easy feat .I did not say that . Some of my kampong mates said that each time I met them .I managed to struggle out from the poverty bracket .

It is our holy duty to protect Islam .

Last night my wife and me attended a kenduri ' bercukur rambut ' of the grand child of our front neighbour at Taman Sri Andalas ,Klang . It was quite a grand feast attended by about 50 people including the imam of the mosque from the neighbourhood .We had the opportunity to know these people .Most of them were quite friendly except for one or two .Normal behaviors of the Malays who are not happy with other people who are getting more prosperous than them.
I sat for my last paper of my Quranic studies at the University Malaya this afternoon . I feel quite confident that I would clear all papers . I' ll have a long holiday after this ( till 28th.Feb.) and hope to go for a short holiday . I do know whether I can make it this time because we have yet to fully settled in our new place .
Off late I have been very angry and feel disgusted with the behavior of the non-Malays especially the Indians in this country .Their NGOs and their political figures have been getting overboard by demanding that the Perkara 121 (A) of the Federal Constitution be ammended so that the Syariah Court would ceased to have any power and thereby being subjected to the Civil Courts .All because of one individual by the name of Moorthy or Muhammad b. Abdullah who converted to Islam before his death .The conversion was rejected by his wife and family.There was a dispute over who would bury the deceased .The Syariah Court finally mad the decision that he deserved a Muslim burial .Unsatisfied ,the wife applied to the Civil Court for a decision but the Civil Court made a ruling that it has no jurisdiction over the matter.As it is today the Syariah Court has its own sanctity and that they are not subjected to the Civil Courts . This should remain so depicting the special place of Islam in this country as the official religion of the nation . Culminating from the above scenario ,10 non Muslim Ministers of the Federal government of the PM sent a memorandom to the the Prime Minister demanding the Constitution be ammended . As usual the feeble ,boneless and weak Najib ,DPM almost succumb to the demand by announcing that the Constitution would be ammended . ( if this man becomes PM ,he would sell the Malays stock and barrel including himself to the non Malays ). Luckily , the PM was quick and firm when he announced that the Constitution would NOT be ammended. Subsequantly , the 10 non Malay ministers withdrew the memorandom .
As Muslims it is our holy duty to defend the sanctity of our religion for the well being of our future generation . Do not being selfish by having an attitude that that is not for us to care and leave everything to the politicians . If we have good and resposible politicians , well and good . What if we have those who only thinks of enriching themselves only, then we are in for trouble ?

Back to Shah Alam to check my e-mails.

I returned to Shah Alam this morning to settle some bills at the banks and Celcom here. I am taking the opportunity to check on my e-mails .Wow , ther were more than hundreds of unread mails .Any way most of them were junk mails .

I have just loaded on to my 4 wheeled vehicle some things required at our new house . Imagine , I was all alone doing that. So exhausted and tired till I almost collapse .Any way being trained to experience challenges ,I manage to overcome all that .Even though I am almost 60 , I am still strong as a bull .Any way frankly , I noticed the difference in my strength lately . I am not the usual I was who use to be so tough .

Recently an old friend from Klang whom I knew when he was still a kid ( today he is an up and coming successful businessman ) , offered me a 50% share in his company . Since I knew him for a long time - infact I was the one who use to advise and guide him , he seems very sincere in offering me the business partnership .Although , I can survive without getting involve into any business , I reluctantly accepted his offer for the sake of filling up my free time and to help my partner run the business .Our business involves the pruchase of vehicles from the banks and insurance companies which they are selling at much below the market price .We would then do just a little bit of touch up before they are sold to the second hand car dealers or any prospective buyers .

Well ,I am getting hungry and there is nothing edible in this house. It is almost 2.30 pm. , I have to go back to Klang to have my lunch .

Getting use to life in Klang.

We are now settled in Klang .I am sure my wife and our grand daughter Alisya are happy too living in our new house .Every time we came back to Shah Alam we brought more of our belongings to Klang .We also bought new things to the new house such as the couch and the book shelves . Soon it would be filled up . Slowly I am getting use to the new place .The telephone and the astro aerial has yet to be fixed to our new house .For the time being we are watching the small TV which can be made possible via the internal aerial .Any way we do not have much time to watch TV . My only regret is that I am unable to surf the internet .Each time I want to do so I have to come back to Shah Alam .Any way this will not be for long because the Telekom had promised to fix the line withing two weeks .

Alisya seems very happy with her activities . She is quite busy too . In the morning from 7.30 am till 12.30 pm. she attend the National School while in the afternoon from 2.30 pm. till 5.30 pm. she attend the Religious School . Then she has to do her home work . She has got very little time to watch TV except on week ends .She is a smart girl and I know she is very intelligent .I hope she would grow up to be a successful career lady .

Last Tuesday was Hari Raya Haji or Idil Adha . We celeberated the occassion in our new house . Any way Farin did not come back because the public holiday was only for a day .She would be coming back for the Chinese New Year holiday at the end of the month .This morning she called up to inform us that 3 of her university friends including a boy would be putting up a night at our house .They would be going back to Alor Star .

First night in Taman Sri Andalas,Klang .

Last night was for the first time we slept in the new house .My wife and grand daughter Alisya had a wonderful experience . As we were still tired as a result of doing some cleaning and unpacking , we slept soundly .The TV was yet to be fixed , so we wanted to sleep early .However ,we could not perhaps because of difficulty in adjusting to the new environment .

One thing that I noticed about the new place is that all the houses in this area were well lighted till morning .So much so , we found out that it was not necessary for us to light up our house .However we did not want to be indifferent and so we lighted the back portion of our house .

This morning for the first time I sent Alisya to school in Bandar Bukit Tinggi, Klang as their parents are working today .She was very happy about going to school .She looked very confident and very much looking forward to be in her school .Infact , she refused my offer to send her right to her class .She told me she could handle herself .

In the evening we came back to Shah Alam as we wanted to take some important things that we had inadvertently left .We would be spending the night in Shah Alam and would send Alisya to her school early in the morning .

A huge burden is off my shoulder .

Today I feel relieved . A huge burden which I have been shouldering for the past one year is released . We managed to move in into our new house , at least the big things like the furnitures were moved in although we have yet to move in physically . Any way I consider myself as having moved in . This was made possible due to the kind assistance of an old friend from Teluk Gong, Klang . He loaned us his lorry to ferry our things from Shah Alam to Klang .Infact he drove the lorry himself .Not enought with that , his two grown up sons gave us a helping hand . ( Earlier I tried to get assistance from another so called old friend for some helpers but was turned down at the last minute ,of course wih some execuses ) .I am very grateful to this old friend .It is rather difficult to find kind and helpful people now a days especially now that I am retired .Usually they shun away from us particularly when we are in need .Although the lorry was not that big , through his experience he managed to arrange the things carefully so as not to waste any space .It was enough for a trip . The small things would be sent in batches via our cars . The whole things would be carried to the new house within a short time . Since my eldest son Aizad would be staying in our old house , we are not in a hurry to carry all the things. Some would be left behind . Aizad would be renting out his apartment and he has promised my wife that he would be handing over 1/2 the rental to her . My wife was happy with the arrangement because she would have the opportunity to be in the house and would continue to be in close contact with her old colleagues which she treasured so much .I knew about this because she was hesitant about moving in to Klang .

Infact personally , I am too a bit sad about leaving Shah Alam . It is only natural for us to feel that way since we have been staying in Shah Alam for more than 25 years .Well , we should not be over sensitive about that .The house is ready and we have to move in .This is my dream house , a house with a compound of its own and comfortable enough for our family especially when we get together for the week end .( I intend to make it compulsory for my children to come back and stay together for the week end. This is for the sole purpose of ensuring a good and cordial relationship persist amongst them and their children) .

Our grand daughter Siti Nuralisya is now registered a Year 1 student at Sekolah Kebangsaan Bukit Tinggi,Klang and also at the Sekolah Agama Taman Seri Andalas ,Klang .Her orientation was on the 31st.January 2005 and her class would start officially on the 4th.January 2006 .
