Tuesday, October 21, 2008

I told a great friend, that the results of the Ketua Pemuda UMNO Bahagian Teluk Intan is a fate that was fated. And as Believers and Faithfuls, we believe that everything that occured has all the consent of Allah Al-Mighty and reasons to it. The wisdom will be known later.


I was at a couple of meetings today. The one in the afternoon was a legally-money-making-matter and the one was earlier tonight. The first one made me believed one was It was a sort of 'think-tank' meeting for one of the hopeful candidate in the upcoming UMNO national election. I always feel at ease at these kind of meetings, because I think I'm a better behind-the-scene-operator than being the main-stage-actor.


Let me just note here on how much responsibility I have entrusted upon at this moment.

1) Appointed committee member of Perak State Malay Chambers of Commerce 2007-2010

2) By virtue of No 1, appointed Chairman of the State Young Entreprenuer Chambers (De

3) By virtue of No. 2, appointed Deputy Chairman of the National Young Entreprenuer Chambers

RAJA-RAJA MELAYU





Kenyataan Akhbar Yang Dikeluarkan Oleh Penyimpan Mohor Besar Raja-Raja Mengenai Peranan Seri Paduka Baginda Yang Di-Pertuan Agong dan Duli-duli Yang Maha Mulia Raja-raja Melayu berhubung dengan hak-hak keistimewaan, kedudukan, kemuliaan atau kebesaran Raja-raja Melayu, agama Islam, Bahasa Melayu sebagai bahasa kebangsaan, kedudukan istimewa orang Melayu dan kepentingan sah kaum-kaum lain mengikut Perlembagan Persekutuan.

“Raja-raja Melayu yang menghadiri Mesyuarat Majlis Raja-Raja telah berunding mengeluarkan kenyataan akhbar khas bersama pada hari ini.

Raja-raja Melayu mempunyai peranan perlembagaan untuk melindungi keistimewaan, kedudukan, kemuliaan dan kebesaran Raja-raja Melayu, melindungi Agama Islam, bahasa Melayu sebagai bahasa kebangsaan dan kepentingan sah kaum-kaum lain di Malaysia.

Tindakan pihak-pihak tertentu mempertikai dan mempersoalkan perkara-perkara tersebut yang menjadi asas utama pembentukan negara Malaysia dan termasuk dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan telah menimbulkan kegusaran dan keresahan di kalangan rakyat. Sebagai tindakbalas, beberapa pihak terutama pemimpin-pemimpin Melayu sama ada yang berada dalam kerajaan atau pertubuhan bukan kerajaan dan orang perseorangan telah menyuarakan rasa tidak puas hati dan marah terhadap pihak yang membuat kenyataan dan laporan dan menganjurkan forum-forum berkenaan.

Antara sebab-sebab yang dikenalpasti berlakunya perkara ini ialah kedangkalan pengetahuan pihak berkenaan terhadap latar belakang sejarah mengapa peruntukan-peruntukan tersebut dimaktubkan dalam Perlembangaan Persekutuan dan pengaruh prinsip-prinsip kesaksamaan dan keadilan yang cuba diimplikasikan di negara ini tanpa berjunjungkan latar belakang sejarah dan keadaan sosial negara ini. Kepentingan politik sempit juga merupakan penyebab berlakunya perkara ini.

Gejala ini jika tidak ditangani dengan segera boleh menyebabkan negara terjebak dalam kancah perpecahan dan persengketaan antara kaum yang boleh menjejaskan keharmonian dan keamanan yang selama ini telah membawa kemajuan, pembangunan dan kejayaan kepada negara.

Justeru, adalah perlu Majlis Raja-Raja menegaskan dan memperingatkan semua pihak tentang peruntukan-peruntukan perlembagaan tersebut di samping memberi penekanan tentang jaminan perlindungan hak-hak sah kaum lain. Perlu ditegaskan bahawa setiap peruntukan dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan telah melalui proses perbincangan, pertimbangan, konsultansi, pengorbanan dan sifat tolak ansur yang sangat tinggi nilainya bagi apa yang telah diperjuangkan, diperbincangkan, dipertimbangkan, dimanfaatkan serta dipersetujui oleh semua pihak yang terlibat, sehingga wujudnya peruntukan-peruntukan dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan yang dikenali sebagai Kontrak Sosial.

Kontrak Sosial ini tidak wajar dipertikai dan dipersoalkan lebih-lebih lagi disemak semula atau diubah kerana ia adalah merupakan asas utama pembentukan negara Malaysia. Untuk itu Raja-raja Melayu wajar memperingatkan supaya isu berkaitan Kontrak Sosial tidak sekali-kali cuba diuji dan dicabar.

Sesungguhnya, angkatan pemimpin di era prakemerdekaan, berfikiran dalam - berpandangan jauh. Raja-raja Melayu telah dibawa bersama semasa rundingan menuntut kemerdekaan. Institusi raja dikekalkan dan dimaktubkan secara perundangan dalam Perlembagaan Malaysia Merdeka. Institusi raja diberikan kemuliaan, ditempatkan di puncak kerajaan, sebagai Ketua Negara dan Ketua Negeri, laksana payung pelindung, menjamin berlakunya kesaksamaan di kalangan warga. Institusi raja berperanan sebagai faktor penyemak dan pengimbang, untuk merungkai sebarang kekusutan, sekiranya berlaku.

Raja-raja Melayu juga membuat seruan kepada orang Melayu supaya bersatu-padu untuk mempertahankan keistimewaan, kedudukan, kemuliaan dan kebesaran Raja-raja Melayu, melindungi agama Islam, bahasa Melayu sebagai bahasa kebangsaan dan kepentingan sah kaum-kaum lain di Malaysia seperti yang termaktub dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan. Penekanan juga perlu dibuat bahawa agenda ini adalah lebih penting dan utama dari kepentingan politik atau kelompok.

Kaum bukan Melayu tidak perlu merasa khuatir dan bimbang tentang hak-hak sah mereka kerana hak-hak tersebut telah dijamin mengikut Perlembagaan Persekutuan dan peruntukan-peruntukan yang terkandung dalam Undang-undang Tubuh Negeri-negeri di Malaysia yang termaktub dalam Perkara 153 Perlembagaan Persekutuan.

Adalah diharapkan dengan penegasan tersebut, segala kekeliruan berhubung dengan perkara ini di kalangan rakyat jelata dapat dibendung dan suatu suasana yang harmoni, aman dan sikap saling hormat menghormati di kalangan rakyat dapat terus diwujudkan demi menjaga ketenteraman negara.”



MALAY RULERS



Press Statement issued by the Keeper of the Rulers' Seal on the role of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and the Malay Rulers regarding the special privileges, position, eminence or greatness of the Malay Rulers, Islam, Malay as the national language, The special position of the Malays, and genuine interests of the other communities in accordance with the Federal Constitution.


"The Malay Rulers who attended the meeting of the Conference of Rulers conferred on the issuing of this special joint press statement today.

The Malay Rulers hold the constitutional role to safeguard the special privileges, position, eminence and greatness of the Malay Rulers, safeguard Islam, Malay as the National Language, and the genuine interests of the other communities in Malaysia.

The actions of certain quarters in disputing and questioning these matters, which formed the primary basis for the formation of Malaysia and are enshrined in the Federal Constitution, had caused provocation and uneasiness among the people.

In retaliation, several quarters particularly Malay leaders whether in the government or non-governmental organisations as well as individuals had expressed their dissatisfaction and anger against those who had made the statements and reports and organised the forums.

Among the reasons identified for these to have occurred is the cursory knowledge of those concerned regarding the historical background as to why these provisions were enshrined in the Federal Constitution and the influence of their attempts to implicate the principles of impartiality and justice without regard for the historical background and social condition of this country. Narrow political interests are also a cause.

Unless this phenomenon is arrested immediately, it can lead to disunity and racial strife that can undermine the peace and harmony which has all this while brought progress, development and success to the nation.

As such, it is necessary for the Conference of Rulers to emphasise and remind all quarters of these constitutional provisions besides giving emphasis to the assurance of safeguarding the genuine rights of other communities.

It has to be emphasised that each provision in the Federal Constitution has undergone the process of discussion, consideration, consultancy, sacrifice and compromise of the highest degree for what has been championed, discussed, considered, benefited from as well as agreed to by all quarters concerned, until the realisation of the provisions in the Federal Constitution which are known as the Social Contract.

It is not proper to dispute and question this Social Contract and more so to subject it to a review or change because it is the primary basis of the formation of Malaysia.

Therefore, it is appropriate for the Malay Rulers to remind that there should never be any attempt ever to test and challenge issues related to the Social Contract.

Truly, the leaders of the pre-independence era were insightful -- far-sighted. They brought along with them the Malay Rulers for the negotiations to claim independence. The Institution of the Rulers was retained and legally enshrined in the constitution of an independent Malaysia.

The Institution of the Rulers was accorded eminence, was positioned at the apex of Government, as the head of the country and the states, as a protective umbrella, ensuring impartiality among the citizens.

The Institution of Rulers takes on the role of being a check-and-balance factor to untangle complications, if any.

The Conference of Rulers also calls on the Malays to be united to safeguard the privileges, position, eminence and greatness of the Malay Rulers, safeguard Islam, Malay as the national language, and the genuine interests of the other communities in Malaysia as enshrined in the Federal Constitution. It has to be emphasised that this agenda is more important and foremost than political or factional interests.

Non-Malays should not harbour any apprehension or worry over their genuine rights because these rights are guaranteed under the Federal Constitution and provisions of the state constitutions of Malaysia contained in Article 153 of the Federal Constitution.

It is hoped that with this emphasis, all confusion among the people regarding these matters can be contained and an atmosphere of peace, harmony and mutual respect can continue to exist among the people for the maintenance of order in the country."



Change !! For The Children of Tommorrow..







I follow the Mo
skva Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change

An August summer night

Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change

The world is closing in
Did you ever think

That we could be so clo
se, like brothers
The future's in the air I can feel it everywhere

Blowin
g with the wind of change

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change

Walking down the street
Distant memories are buried in the past forever
I follow the Moskva Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams

With you and me


Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night

Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change

The wind of change
Blows straight into the face of time
Like a stormwind that will ring the freedom bell

For peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing

What my guitar wants to
say

Take me to the magic of the moment

On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me

Take me to the magic of the moment

On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away

In the wind of change



The King & The 3 Musketeer

Setiap perubahan mestilah untuk kebaikan atau penambahbaikan. Setiap perubahan menuntut pergorbanan. Setiap pergorbanan adalah usaha gigih. Pergorbanan adalah termasuk mengakui kesilapan dan kelemahan diri kita sendiri.

Jangan sekali-kali kita lupa atau leka bahawa di atas bahu kita terletak harapan masa depan anak cucu cicit kita. Jangan lagi kita mengadu atau mengeluh, kerana hanya kita sahajalah yang dapat mengubah nasib diri kita sendiri.

Cerita Orang...


Beli tidak menjadi. Pujuk rayu tidak layu. Tipu helah menjadi parah. Serba salah.

Sepanjang pagi Isnin, YB K merenung patung kuda hitam di atas meja. Di dalam tangan tergenggam lama shaker garam. Hidangan kopi Hawaiiian Blue Mountain yang mahal dihidang Norin isteri tersayang masih belum dijamah-jamah lagi.

Dari sejak balik malam sampai ke pagi, otaknya masih belum berhenti berfikir dan hatinya belum reda bergolak. Terperanjat, marah dan runsing. Badannya sepatut penat tetapi masih belum dapat tidor yang puas.

Honey, honey … you’ve been staring at the kuda hitam with the salt shaker in your hands for two hours. You are due at Parliament. You don’t want to be not seen appearing. Snap out of it!”

Suara Norin menyedarkan YB K dari lamunan. Norin sudah lali dengan gelagat ahli politik. Sepanjang hidupnya dia melihat ayah turun naik dalam politik

I must have dozed off. Penatlah sayang,” YB K berhelah.

Mulutnya masih berat hendak berkata-kata. Sebenarnya telor goreng scramble telah ditabur-tabur banyak garam, tapi masih lagi tawar.

“Mikael sudah bangun? I nak cium dia sebelum pergi Parlimen.”

Sambil melangkah ke bilik dining, Norin teriak dengan agak terkawal kuatnya, “Shhh ... Dia masih tidor lah bang. Baru pukul berapa.”

Kalau Mikael bangun, susah dia nak buat kerja. Maid tengah sibuk basuh dua beg baju kotor YB Khairul di belakang.

-------------------------------------

Dalam perjalanan ke Parlimen, YB K tidak henti sedang memikirkan mencari jalan untuk langkah seterusnya yang harus dilakukan. Dia duduk di belakang dalam kereta Toyota Land Cruiser KJ 10Q. Sewaktu musim-musim pemilihan, dia simpan Kereta Volvo X90 berlesen NBK 10. Letih hendak mengelak dipanggil penganggur terkaya.

Selalunya apabila ke Parlimen dan mana-mana urusan rasmi, Qausabil terpaksa kelihatan macam pemandu.

“Susah kita brader.” YB K memulakan perbualan.

“Rasanya kita kena fikirkan untuk cuba nombor dua.”

Diam sahaja Quasabil.

“Kalau ada pencalunan Naib, kita boleh kasi orang semua meneka permainan kita. Jali is no match. Rizar Nana tu monyet budak Universiti tempatan. Without me, he is finish also.”

“Sambil tu, biar kita teruskan pencalunan for Ketua. But I will say, I leave it to grassroot.”

Quasabil bertanya, “Look that Javanese Dr Kafi Johari is closing on you. He is just 7 shy. He is grassroot. See how worked up Gelang Patah and …. what that Division when we did a number on them. Mokhlis is like a steamin Obama. Will that take our eye of the ball, Cheap?”

I’ll accept the fact Mokhlis is Manchester United leading by 10 points. It may seemed like Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool is competiting with each other and strengthen Man U’s lead. But this Pemuda politics! They are not heartless like English footballer.”

I don’t get you, Cheap,” Quasabil bertanya.

Man U are so professional that even after winning the EPL, they still would obliterate the bottom table team at the last game of the season. Not Pemuda and not when Mokhlis secured minimum requirement. They will let up.”

“Kau tahu buat muka kesian?” Quasabil bertanya.

“Aku sedar kita dapat menang Bandar Tun Abdul Razak kerana buat muka kesian and merayu. Rupanya oreng Melayu boleh ubah keputusan apabila kita buat muka kesian dan macam mangsa. Very irrationally emotional race!”

Glad you finally realised. I’ve been hinting to you all along.” Quasa lega sambil kereta masuk ke perkarangan Parlimen.

“Quasa … jangan lalu di pintu utama. Kita letak kereta jauh-jauh and jalan. Biar nampak saya tidak dapat layanan istimewa.”

Betul dia sudah faham, bisik Quasabil dalam hati.

“Mokhlis will falter next week onward. If he doesn’t we will make him falter. Next time I will sit in front."

----------------------------------------

“Kita perlu dapat ckup pencalunan untuk bertanding saja. Lepas ini ada lima bulan. Only I can afford to maintain the 600 last till March 2009. Not even Mokhlis and Dr Khafi,” YB K membuat arahan dengan angkuh sekali kepada “tentera” kempen 10 orang dalam Mesyuarat.

“Jadi kolum NST to hanya decoy saja?” Mantayla berkata.

“Ya, kita kena buat muka kesian di hadapan. Belakang biar saya uruskan sendiri.” Kalimuttu menjawab.

“Kamu semua kena buat cerita seolah-olah Mokhlis belanja RM10 juta untuk dapatkan pencalunan begitu banyak dan cepat macam Anwar Ibrahim,” YB K menerangkan rancangannya.

“Tapi jangan sebut bahagian Mokhlis menang.”

Dr Vincente Lee mencelah, “Yes definitely. We have to avoid any backfire. Bloody goody goody botak. Mention divisions belonging to those Dr Khafi won.”

“Betul Cheap. Kita kena teruk. Mana ada usul akarumbi dari floor, kita kalah. Kita tak cukup blok. Tempat kita kuat macam bahagian yang ada Ketua Pemuda Negeri dan Menteri macam Kota Melaka, Pasir Gudang, Bentong, Kota Belud dan Langkawi pun kalah. Rozhan Dahari di Tuaran kena mandi dan talqin.” Timbalan Menteri Dato Wan Feris bersuara.

“Baiklah. Saya sudah cakap dengan ayah mertua, Perdana Menteri, Abdillah Baduri mintak tolong turunkan wahyu. Dia sudah talipon semua ahli-ahli Majlis Tertinggi, Ketua-Ketua Bahagian dan Menteri-Menteri untuk masuk campur dalam Mesyaurat Pemuda Bahagian masing-masing.”

Will that work, Cheap?” tanya Wan Feris lagi.

“Dia sudah umum hendak undur. Sekarang orang tak boleh kritik dia dan tindakan –tindakannya. Orang kesian. Kalau dia merayu mintak last favour, mereka akan tolong. … Senang dalam 50 pencalunan senang-senang”

Hey hey boy … get me another cup,” YB K arah messenger pejabat untuk bancuh satu lagi mug kopi untuknya.

“Kita kena ingat antara yang menyebabkan kita kalah adalah kerana Ketua Pemuda Negeri selalu belasah Tun Dr Mamat dan Dato Mokhlis. Imej kamu satu masaalah juga. Persepsi kamu korup dan jual negara terlalu kuat.” katanya Dato Norzaini Ketot.

WTF when did I did all these? Its all perception game by bloggers and my political opponent. Proof the allegations! Proof proof … proof it!”

“Apa benda kau marah marah ni, boss? Kita belum jawab betul-betul EDN Lire. Belum lagi urusan-urusan yang melibatkan Terasik.” Norzaini cuba meredakan kemarahan YB Khairul.

Dato Zakri menyelit, “Sabarlah Cheap. I will deliver for you Putrajaya. Don’t worry! There is a lot at stake for all of us . Off course, I am not looking at the option of Osman Tong take control of Tingkat 4 yet. We are a team but we do not know his true colour. That sly sonofabitch has been telling people he is distancing from us. His proposal has been modified by us.”

Okay okay … I am cool.” kata YB K.

“Kita kena pakai psikologi terbalik. Timbulkan salah faham antara budak-budak Dr Khafi dan Mokhlis. Buat seolah-olah Mokhlis guna wang untuk menafikan Bahagian yang Dr Khazi yakin dapat. Mungkin dengan semua menyerang pendahulu, kita dapat lakukan seperti yang berlaku apabila Tan Sri Mohideen kalah dari kedudukkan nombor satu Naib Presiden.”

Dalit dari Kelantan mencelah,”Okay lah. Ambo dah ambi kiro doh. Cumo nak peringat. Jange lupo selamatke Keluang dan Pulai. Takut sentimen dan cerita salahlaku demo di Johor Baru dan Gelang Patoh bule kena balik kak kito.”

“Tempat-tempat macam Bukit Mertajam, dan kawasan orang-orang Abdillah nak bantu dah diketahui orang. Takut kena balik.”

“Kalau kita ganas macam di Sekijang, bayar seorang perwakilan RM5 ribu. Kita menang situ dari YB Aiyubi tapi tempat lain macam mana? Takut kena baik. Takut kena balik …”

-------------------------------------------

“Takut kena balik. Takut kena balik. Takut kena balik.”

Beulang-ulang kata-kata akhir Dalit bergema dalam kepala YB K.

Tiba-tiba YB K sedar dirinya sedang dalam Mesyaurat Pemuda Rembau sedang bersidang. Seorang hadhirin bangun membuat usul mencalunkan Mokhlis.

Lalu YB K bangun dan menjerit menahan pencalunan itu. “Saya belum dapat satu pencalunan dari Negeri Sembilan. Jangan malukan saya. Usul itu tidak dibenarkan!”

Dengan tiba-tiba seorang perwakilan berlari ke arahnya. Dia hanya kaku melihat sebilah keris datang menikamnya. Dengan badannya berlumur darah, dia hanya dapat mendengar seluruh dewan bersorak-sorak … Hidup Melayu! Bunuh Pengkhianat!

YB K terkejut dari mimpi. Mengigil sejuk badanya. Peluh sejuk mengalir dari dahinya.

Dengan keadaan panik dia gugah kejut isterinya yang tidor sebelah babycot Mikael sambil menjerit-jerit menangis, “Pindah Perth besok sayang. Mari kita pindah Perth besok sayang ...!!!”

A Short Personal Note...



Active-grass-root-politics is only for those with huge soul and huge heart. Mereka yang berjiwa dan berhati besar. I'm not sure about high-level-politics because I'm not there, yet. But for those who aspire to be actively involved at the grass-root level, my warning is, think it over, again!

If you earn less than RM 36,000.00 fixed annual salary, need to sleep more than 6 hours a day, married for less than 10 years, lousy at poker-face-game, tactless, suffering from weak heart, you better stay away from active-grass-root-politics because it is gonna break your heart, damage your pocket, mess up your routine-life, disillusion all that you ever ideally dream of and eventually kill you.

Its a rough world down here and your survival will depend on how street-smart you are.

Some of my friends will argue this statement, and will ask me to rephrase active-grass-root-politics to UMNO politics. Either way, I humbly warn you.

Today is a day before the big day for two division youth chief hopefuls. The incumbent is Nadziruddin Mohamed Bandi and the challenger is Yuzaili Yusof. As I'm writing this in my office in Ipoh, I'm informed that the scene in Teluk Intan is getting heavy. Heavy with last minute lobbies, campaigns, barter trades, persuasions and preparations before delegates cast their votes in 18 hours time. And in less than 24 hours from now, results will be out and all the hard work for the last 3 years will be answered, masquerades and camouflages exposed, prayers laid to rest and friendships taken to stern test.

I have not sleep a single minute since 2 pm yesterday, and I don't think I will have time for much sleep until tomorrow evening. I have not met my children in proper manner (while they are awake) for the last few days. I've been taking my pills regularly. I have lost track of proper meal-time. I have not carried out my legal firm duties for more than 10 days and I have not had my favourite DBI terrace Penang Char Koay Tiaw for weeks. I have not think about any other thing other than the Ketua Pemuda Bahagian Teluk Intan contest.

Some people got it wrong. I may have won unopposed but this is not about me. This is about the relevancy of UMNO and the survival of the Malays. I have been thinking hard about it since March 8th 2008. Will ever my late father and forefathers forgive me for allowing UMNO to loose power? Sometimes I think UMNO deserves what it gets. But to think in that direction would be the easy way out, but not the right way out.

Anyway, I guess I'm lucky. I may not have a huge soul but I'm a trained and practising lawyer. I handle crisis everyday with twists and turns every now and then. Being a litigant turned small time corporate lawyer, and my biggest client is only 100 meters away, I have always trained myself to imagine and prepare for the worst-case-scenario. And I'm also trained to believe that there's more than one way out for every problems and not to be emotionally attached to problems before me. Some forgets that, I make a living on providing solutions to problems that my clients shares with me. Problem solving and surviving with problems, day in and day out are my forte. All these skills do really help.


Having said all the above, I wonder sometimes why I even bother to care. I really wish I can have a nine to five life. Play golf at my leisure like my lawyer-buddies. Read my favourite authors to inspire myself. Get the better out of my 8 year old son Adlan at PS. Help Shiqah with her homework. Read Amri bedtime stories. And hug my lovely wife more often. But then, like The Godfather K-Ngadiron said, its all fate and fated.

NOTHING ELSE MATTERS



Few days ago, Muslims in Malaysia celebrates Eidul Fitr, the first day of Syawal, the tenth month in the Hijrah calendar. For the benefit of my non-Muslim readers, Eidul Fitr or commonly referred to by Malaysian Muslims as Hari Raya Puasa is a day for Muslims to celebrate victory after a month long of fasting. As much as fasting during the holy month of Ramadhan is obligatory for a month long, the celebration during the month of Syawal is also a month long.

To be CONTINUED...
