kosong

Teringat pesan Al-ghazali;

"Carilah hatimu di tiga tempat.Temui hatimu sewaktu bangun membaca al-Quran. Tetapi jika tidak kau temui, carilah hatimu ketika mengerjakan solat. Jika tidak kau temui juga, kau carilah hatimu ketika duduk tafakur mengingati mati. Jika kau tidak temui juga, maka berdoalah kepada Allah, pinta hati yang baru kerana hakikatnya pada ketika itu kau tidak mempunyai hati"

empty.

kosong.

ah, mungkin perlukan hati yang baru.sigh

Faghfirlana ya Allah.

Orang Islam tak sayang Environment ke..?

Wah, saya in charge untuk polystyrene. Take over ben punya kerja kejap...untuk survey.

Well, ramai yang respon, tapi yang banyak respon orang bukan Islam.

Agak-agaknyakan, kita (orang Islam) tak sayang alam sekitar ke..? Bukan saja-saja nak rise up isu ni, tapi kalau tengok, isu yang kita asyik nak respon, isu politik..isu ekonomi..isu besar-besar lain.

Tapi kalau isu alam sekitar semua orang ambil enteng benda ni..hm..wonder why.

Bukan ke Allah cakap kalau nak kenal Dia, kenal melalui alam..so kalau alam sekitar pon tak pandai nak jaga, macam mana nak kenal Tuhan.sigh. People, wake up. Ini isu Ummah ok.

ps bukan nak jadi racist atau ape, cuma risau sedikit dengan masalah Ummah, ace :D

The true meaning of Polygyny

ps: another good one I guess..the links look interesting :D

pps: i'm not the supporter of polygamy, but I believe that there must be a reason why Allah allow this to some extend. We r human, our views are limited by the past and present. We do not know what going to happen in the future.Kalau menolak poligami, berarti menolak Al qur'an dong! :D

ppps: orang-orang lelaki, silalah chew article ni Bahagiakan dirimu dengan satu isteri :)

Polygamy was a way of life until the Quran was revealed 1400 years ago. When the Earth was young and scarcely-populated, polygamy was actually a way to solve the problem: the one way of populating it and bringing in the human beings needed to carry out Allah's plan. By the time the Quran was revealed, the world had been sufficiently populated, and the Quran put down the first limitations against polygamy.

Polygamy is permitted in the Quran, but under strictly observed circumstances. Any abuse of this divine permission incurs severe retribution. Thus, although polygamy is permitted by Allah, it behooves us to examine our circumstances carefully before saying that a particular polygamous relationship is permissible.

Our perfect example here is the Prophet Muhammad. He was married to one wife, Khadijah, until the day she passed away. He had all his children, except one, from Khadijah. Thus,she and her children enjoyed the Prophet's full attention for as long as she was married to him; twenty-five years. For all practical purposes, Muhammad had one wife - from the age of 25 to 50. During the remaining 13 years if his life, he married the aged widows of his friends who left many children. The children needed a complete home, with a fatherly figure, and the Prophet provided that. Providing a fatherly figure for orphans is the only specific circumstance in support of polygamy mentioned in the Quran (An Nisaa:3).

Other than marrying widowed mothers of orphans, there were three political marriages in the Prophet's life. His close friends Abu Bakr and Omar insisted that he marry their daughters, Aisha and Hafsah, to establish traditional family ties among them. The third marriage was to Maria the Egyptian; she was given to him as a political gesture of friendship from the ruler of Egypt.

This perfect example tells us that a man must give his full attention and loyalty in marriage to his wife and children in order to raise a happy and wholesome family. The Quran emphasizes the limitations against polygamy in very strong words:

"If you fear lest you may not be perfectly equitable in treating more than one wife, then you shall be content with one." (An Nisaa:3)
"You cannot be equitable in a polygamous relationship, no matter how hard you try." (An Nisaa:129)

The Quranic limitations against polygamy point out the possibility of abusing Allah's law. Therefore, unless we are absolutely sure that Allah's law will not be abused, we had better resist our lust and stay away from polygamy. If the circumstances do not dictate polygamy, we had better give our full attention to one wife and one set of children.

The children's psychological and social well-being, especially in countries where polygamy is prohibited, almost invariably dictate monogamy. A few basic criteria must be observed in contemplating polygamy:

1. It must alleviate pain and suffering and not cause any pain or suffering.
2. If you have a young family, it is almost certain that polygamy is an abuse.
3. Polygamy to substitute a younger wife is an abuse of Allah's law (An Nisaa:19).

NO Polygamy in Islam

Polygamy is defined in many dictionaries as:

"Any person (Male or female) may unconditionally marry unlimited number of spouses at the same time."

This means that a male or female may marry unlimited number of males or females at the same time. In other cultures and faiths, a male may marry unlimited number of wives, at the same, for any reason, and unrestricted with any conditions. Such practices are totally prohibited in Islam.

What is allowed in Islam is that in a specified restricted circumstances, a Muslim male may marry other females provided that there are circumstances that needs this kind of arrangements and it is restricted with several clear conditions.

Those conditions are :

    1. financial,
    2. physical and emotional ability,
    3. equal treatment of the wives,
    4. the approval of the prospective female to this kind of marriage,
    5. the wives are among those who are not prohibited for him to marry either permanently (such as aunts, foster daughters and others, or temporary such as marrying two sisters at the same time),
    6. and that the number of wives is limited to up to four.

So this is a legal provision that can be properly understood in the context of Islamic position on this important issue:

First, in Islam, the family is considered the cornerstone of a society; any extra-marital relationship is seen as devastating and damaging to the family, hence it is strictly prohibited. Married life is most desirable in Islam, Allah wants a woman to be a respected, and an honourable wife, never a secret mistress and Allah wants all men to be a respected and responsible husbands also, never indulging in secret affairs. Both men and women have to make sacrifices to make their family life a success.

Second, Islam and Islamic laws are for all times (past, present, future) and for all circumstances and situations. Therefore, it must accommodate all possible social and individual situations.

Third, in Islam, every Muslim man should have a wife and every Muslim woman should have a husband. One may observe that, although it has been abused in some times and places, this practice can have a valuable function in certain circumstances, in some situations it may be considered as the lesser of two difficult situations, and in others it may be even a beneficial arrangement.

The obvious example of this occurs in times of war, when there are inevitably a large number of widows and orphans left without companionship, love, money, care or protection.

If it is still maintained under these circumstances that a man may marry only one wife, other females will be deprived from having a family that includes a loving husband, a companion for life, lovely children, and a father for the children. What options is left for those women who have no chance to marry? They could either stay alone, or become someone's mistress.

Most women would not welcome either of those two options. A mistress is just an unofficial second wife who has no legal rights or security for herself or her children. The fact is that women under these circumstances may prefer to share a husband than to have none at all.The ugly consequences which usually comes along with the tag as somebody else's mistresses has made them choose this alternative. Thus, there is no doubt that it is far easier and better to share a husband when it is legally established than when it is carried on secretly with attempts to deceive the first wife.

There are other situations where this kind of practice may be preferable for all parties, such as

    1. if the first wife is chronically ill,
    2. if she cannot have children,
    3. if a woman cannot earn a living and needs emotional and financial support.

These examples are mentioned because the society (especially the West) at large has wrongly understood the misconception of polygamy as having a large number of glamorous young girls (harem)having to serve and to please the man. Obviously this is not a real solution to some difficult and "real" social problems.

The first verse in the Quran that allows this practice was revealed following the battle of Uhud, in which thousands of Muslim men were killed, leaving widows and orphans whose care was the responsibility of the Muslim male survivors. In the Quran Allah says:-

"To orphans restore their property when they reach their age, and do not substitute your worthless things for their good ones, and devour not their substance by mixing it up with your own. For this is indeed a great sin. If you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, marry women of your choice, two, or three, or four ; BUT IF YOU FEAR THAT YOU SHALL NOT BE ABLE TO DEAL JUSTLY WITH THEM, THEN MARRY ONLY ONE." (Quran An Nisaa:2-3)

From these verses, a number of facts are evident:

This permission is not only associated with mere satisfaction of passion, but it is rather associated with compassion towards widows and orphans, a matter that is confirmed by the atmosphere in which these verses were revealed. Even in such a situation, the permission is far more restricted than the practice that existed before or even now (unlimited number of wives and no restricted conditions). Dealing justly with one's wives is an obligation in Islam. This applies to housing, food, kind treatment, etc., that is to say that the husband has complete obligation towards all of his wives and their children without any discrimination. If one ONLY is not sure of being able to deal justly with them, Allah says to marry only one wife.

This practice is far better and honourable than the case where the husband is secretly having mistresses or involved with prostitutes (adultery). This practice is also better than the case where the husband divorces his ill wife and marry another one.The requirement of justice between wives rules out the fantasy that a man can have as many wives as he pleases, it also rules out the concept of a "secondary" wife, for all wives have exactly the same status and are entitled to identical rights and claims over their husband.

The verses say "marry" not buy, seduce, or select, since in Islam, marriage is a civil contract which is valid only when both parties consent to it. Thus no wife can be forced or given to a man who is already married, except if she agrees and her family agree, and since in Islam there is no such thing as secret marriages, then it is a free choice of both parties.

It is evident that the permission is consistent with the realistic Islamic view of the varying social needs, problems, and cultural variations throughout time and in all places.

    Ps: Found this, the explanation looks relevant.

    If you fear that you will not do justice, then (marry) only one. [The Qur'an 4:3]

    Polygamy was practiced in many societies before the rise of Islam.

    It is Islam that restricted the practice of unlimited polygamy.

    It also regulated this restriction to protect the dignity and security of women in Islam.

    The Qur'an is the only religious book that says marry "only one".

    The "do's" and "don'ts" in Islam fall into five categories: fard (obligatory); mustahab (encouraged); mubah (permitted); makruh(discouraged); and haram (prohibited or forbidden).

    Polygamy is NOT obligatory for Muslim men.

    The overwhelming majority of Muslim men (more than 98%) have only one wife.

    Thus monogamy is the rule amongst Muslims and polygamy is the exception.

    Instead of telling the Truth, western media and literature lie about Islam as a religion that promotes polygamy.

    Polygamy falls into the third category of permitted (mubah) activities in Islam.

    This permission is for exceptional situations, and is subject to stringent conditions.

    The Noble Qur'an permits Muslim men to marry up to four wives.

    It grants this permission only to those who can look after all their wives justly.

    This requirement removed the concept of "a secondary wife", for all wives have the same status and are entitled to identical rights and claims over their husband.

    In 7th century Arabia, this Islamic revelation liberated thousands of women who were suffering under unrestricted and unregulated polygamy.

    To those men who fear that they will not be able to deal justly, The Noble Qur'an commands them to marry only one.

    The Qur'an acknowledges that it is not easy "to be just and fair between women, even if it is your ardent desire". [4:129]

    This verse has been interpreted as further confirmation that the permission given in The Qur'an is for exceptional situations only.

    Some have misused this verse to demand the introduction of numerous rules to curb the limited polygamy permitted in Islam.

    The need to prevent the abuse of the permission given by The Almighty should not be stretched to make it impossible to practice what is permitted in The Qur'an.

    No one has the right to make unlawful what The Almighty has made lawful.

    The Qur'an acknowledges the difficulty of being "just and fair between women".

    Why does The Qur'an then permit a Muslim to marry up to four wives?

    The complete answer to this question is known only to Allah The All Knowing.

    We have no way of knowing about all the situations that justify the need for this permission from The Almighty.

    Some situations may exist now. Others may occur several centuries later.

    The guidance found in The Noble Qur'an is for all mankind and for all times till the end of civilization.

    The permission given in The Qur'an has to be understood in the context of compelling reasons that may occur in some places and at certain times.

    The effort to understand these reasons must begin with The Qur'an itself.

    What is the objective and historical context of the revelations relating to polygamy?

    The verse [4:3] that permits limited polygamy was revealed after the Battle of Uhud in which many believers were killed.

    One result of warfare is that many wives and children become widows and orphans.

    In The Qur'an, the permission for polygamy is associated with showing compassion to widows and the orphans. [4:3]

    The permission given in The Qur'an is therefore not a right but a responsibility placed on Muslims to ensure that widows and orphans live in dignity and security.

    Applying the principle of "one man, one wife" in a postwar situation would result in many women without husbands.

    The choices these women have are a life of celibacy (which Islam opposes as it not consistent with human nature) or illicit sex (which Islam forbids).

    Most women would not accept these choices since most women would want a publicly accepted married life that gives them dignity, and the security and love of a legal husband and a family.

    Permitting polygamy when necessity for it exists as, for example, in a postwar situation, provides a more humane solution compared to extramarital affairs.

    The second wife, legally married and treated justly, is better off than a mistress without any legal rights or social recognition.

    In Islam, marriage is a lawful contract freely entered into by a man and a woman to please Allah; a woman cannot be forced into a marriage against her will.

    Extramarital affairs, free sex, prostitution, and humiliating women by describing them as sex workers - these are forbidden in Islam but are either legalized or tolerated in the pseudo-monogamy of the West!

    eid-ul-adha and a birthday

    Perjuangan tak bisa digalas oleh mereka yang mudah tewas. Pengorbanan juga tak bisa dilakukan oleh meraka yang berhati kecil.

    sudah berhati besarkah kita..? Andai datang seruan dari Allah, seperti yang diturunkan pada Ibrahim, mampukah kita..?

    Anyway, happy eid-ul-adha!

    ***

    Happy birthday to you.

    ah..Should i just say thanks for everything..?

    He once said;

    "we r in the tunnel full of obstacles the only way out is both in the front n at the back, which exit do we choose determine our success or failure in facing the obstacle, easiest way is 2 just ignore the obstacles, but it gives us nothing, we r stuck with no progress, yet the problem still haunted us, there's no other way, we need to keep forward, to the rightful end, we must make ourselves deserve a better end, keep facing the obstacles n say: I'm a Muslim, there's nothing that i cannot handle, the grass  is always greener  on the other side, prepared  especially   for me, don't  worry everything will be just alright  for me"

    Agaknya good timing untuk ulang ayat ni balik :)

    Beach Clean-up

    On 25 October we went to Beach Clean-up organised by UM Cares in collaboration with Body Shop under 350.

    PA251277

    The sun was so bright when we arrived.

    PA251275

    I love beach.  I think I can sit and look at the sea for a few hours without doing anything. Looking at the sea give us tranquility (all the problems seems to vanish for a while)

    PA251283

    We were given a form to fill in how many items we had collected. I was holding the form. Then I started to ask myself " Nak kutip sampah ke, nak isi form" then came another question " Nak kutip sampah sebab nak menang body shop ke or sebab Allah dan alam". At the end, I told Zilah that we going to fill the form after finished collecting all those rubbishes. (Susahkan nak jaga hati) Well that's not the point that I want to talk, (at this moment la :P).

     

    our group

    As we know, what happens to our environment is the world issue, and therefore it should be the Islamic world issue too. Sadly it is not. Some people might look down on this issue. Sigh. I think environment can unite people from various backgrounds, nations, races and religions. Why not start with this? Ask yourself whether you are willing to take this challenge or not.

    Hari yang spastik

    Ok, hari ini sangat ngek.

    Mula awal pagi, bangun, tak ada apa-apa nak makan untuk sahur (akibat kek yang dah naik kulat)

    Solat subuh tiba-tiba teringat, kenapa tak ingat nak minum air dan makan kurma, ok ngek lagi. macam baru belajar nak puasa je.

    Pegi kelas, battery  hand phone dah nak kong, jadi bawa battery charge kat dalam lab.

    Dalam kelas buka laptop masa esther tengah present pasal biofuel ( terpengaruh dengan henry + hana)

    Sebelum pegi masjid isi minyak, pam tayar.

    Terus gerak pergi masjid negara, sebelum solat, Imam cakap pasal saf. Agak panjang beliau elaborate.

    Chocolate

    This is very deep, maybe cause I were hoping the story to be different. I have to watch it twice to really understand what Yasmin Ahmad tried to deliver.

    This short movie shows a true mind set of Chinese society in Malaysia ( I know, not all :p) It shows how Chinese has to work really hard in order to be successful. I remembered once, when I had this conversation with Zilah and Del ;

    Del : I told her that she is third class Malay and I'm a first class Indian

    Zilah + Fitto : *wink* why..?

    Well, Del told us that it is hard for other races to get into University. They have to go true STPM and so on. University Malaya is said to be the best University in Malaysia. Therefore to be able to get in this premier university make them to be the first class Indian after all the hardship they have to go trough. Compared to Malay, we get into the University easily (matriculation is not as hard as STPM and Del told us about soalan bocor in the surau which I never knew bout that; I didn't go to matric) , so the Matriculation Malay, is the 3rd class Malay. hoho! [well it depends, I guess]

    This movie shows how parents really play important role in building their children mindset. His mother wants him to go to another country as she feels that he will be able to get a scholarship there where as he will not have a future in his own country because of his race. Somehow he refused.

    Then came this Malay girl whose smile took to him. She wanted to buy the chocolate but was 5cents short. The boy is willing to give sell that for 15cents. However when his mother shouted at him for talking to the Malay girl, he changed his decision ( maybe due to the existence of social inequality). With all the hatred, he refused to give the chocolate to the Malay girl. The Malay girl left the shop with the batteries.

    Instead of possible beautiful friendships, we remains divided by races due to the policies, family, prejudice and so on which cause us to act discriminately to another. Life goes on, it is easy to say " I'm not racist" but sometimes we didn't realize we are acting like that.

    p.s : learn to celebrate the differences among each other. Everyone is special.

    p.s.s: let us start it with our generation. For a better Malaysia!

    P.s.s.s : are u willing to give up 5 cent for something more meaningful?

    Do come!

    Dear all,


    We have received much feedback on UM's latest vehicle policy, and following from the meeting with the VC, there will be an open dialogue with the man himself as follows:


    Date: 28 July 2009 (Tuesday - tomorrow!)
    Time: 8.00 p.m.
    Venue: Dewan Gemilang, 12th College


    Transport will be provided by shuttle bus from the usual college pick-up points from 7.00 p.m. onwards.


    Please take this opportunity to hear what the VC has to say, and formulate your thoughts and questions and ASK him whatever you want to ask.


    He is not an unreasonable man, and if you have something to say, this is your opportunity.


    If the new policy affects you, please SHOW UP, as there is no point in we Council members saying "The students are saying, the students want, the students this and the students that..." when the students who are affected do not turn up and show their interest in the issue.

    The policy has been made, but that DOES NOT mean it cannot be changed, i.e. amended.


    The Council will lead the way, but the students must follow in SUPPORT.


    Do spread the word!

    Apa bezanya

    Situasi 1

    Alkisah berbunyi, ada sekumpulan manusia, ingin menyebarkan jajahan pengaruh mereka. Selepas bermesyuarat kumpulan manusia ini bersetuju untuk menyebarkan pengaruh mereka dengan meletakkan nama kumpulan mereka di t-shirt kolej semasa haluansiwa. Maka maklumlah kita bahawa kumpulan ini menggunakan wang kolej untuk membuat t-shirt  yang tertera "PENGGERAK MAHASISWA" dibelakang baju kolej.

    image

    Situasi 2

    Tersebutlah satu ceritera di zaman moden ini, wujud sekumpulan manusia yang juga mempunyai matlamat yang sama untuk menyebarkan nama mereka ke seantero masyarakat luar kampus. Selepas mengadakan perbincangan hangat, terus kumpulan ini bersedia mengadakan roadshow  luar kampus. Maka bertungkus-lumuslah ahli kumpulan ini untuk membuat persedian. Mereka menggunakan beg kertas serta cenderahati dari dari Hal Ehwal Pelajar & Alumni ( baca: lebihan beg kertas) untuk diberikan kepada penghuni-penghuni luar kampus. Selepas memerah otak tentang bagaimana caranya untuk menyebarkan pengaruh, kumpulan manusia ini mencetak nama "PRO-MAHASISWA" di atas kertas merah dan dilekatkan di atas beg kertas HEP tadi.

    image

    Kesimpulan

    Maka tersebarlah nama dan pengaruh kedua-dua belah pihak.

    Persoalan yang timbul

    1. Apakaha perbezaan diantara kedua-dua kumpulan manusia ini?

    2. Cara manakah yang dipersetujui oleh kepimpinan Islam

    dan lain-lain persoalan yang timbul

    p/s : Silalah memberikan komentar anda =)

    p/s/s : Ini bukan tindakan yang betul, tapi ini yang termampu

    p/s/s/s : Maaf sudah lama bersawang

    Novel itu, aku pernah baca sewaktu tingkatan 5, sewaktu Hlovate masih menulis e-novel. Aku tidak begitu mengingati jalan ceritanya, tapi ada satu benda yang paling aku ingat dalam novel itu;

    PEACH COBBLER! (^_^)

    Bila tengok Zilah baca 5 tahun 5 bulan, mula laa ikut join jugak

    Well here comes the best part..

    I have a date with Aishah

    Pukul tiga ibu hantar pegi rumah Aishah…her new house..never been there before..sgt exited~

    It was not really hard to find her house. Tapi on the way mencari ibu bising juga “kalau Aishah nak kawen nanti..kalau landmark macam ni dia bagi..kita tak jumpa kot rumah dia”..heheh[it’s ok for me to write this coz aishah won’t be reading it..heheh..lalala~]

    After a year tak jumpa..we chat and chat till ibu come n fetch me back. Mengupdate segala cerita kawan-kawan. Macam gossip girls..hehe..and we even plan to go to USM this Friday. Tempat main-main dulu.

    Aishah said “Fit Nampak matang”. See people out there..you don’t have to complain that I’m not mature enough cause u don’t know who I am before this. I’m learning to grow up n be more mature ok. So sabar! =P

    Aishah said I should be a lecturer…[tak nak!!..nak keja kilang] then when she talked with Ibu, Ibu seems to have same opinion with Aishah..ape lagi mula laa mereka merepek..Dan pasti daku mengeluarkan ayat power selepas itu. “eyh..tak nak kalau orang kena jadi lecturer better jadi suri rumah..so mane nak..?” ..hihihi

    Some thoughts


    wahai orang - orang yang beriman,mengapa kamu mengatakan sesuatu yang tidak kamu kerjakan ??itu sangatlah dibenci di sisi Allah jika kamu mengatakan apa - apa yang tidak kamu kerjakan." As saff : 2 & 3

    Buat renungan

    Situasi 1

    Kita mudah menunding jari mengatakan itu dan ini,
    menghujah sesuatu penuh dengan dalil,
    menghukum sesuatu penuh dengan yakin,
    namun,kadang kala kita lupa ianya juga tuntutan buat diri...


    Situasi 2

    bila diberi peluang untuk mengubah sesuatu, langsung kita abaikan amanah,
    namun apabila tidak diberi peluang,
    langsung kita salahkan orang lain kerna tidak memberi peluang..


    Situasi 3
    kita sering bicara soal prinsip,
    kita bangga bila pendapat kita dapat ditegakkan,
    kita bangga bila ramai yang menyokong,
    namun kita lupa, dek kerana kesombongan menegakkan sesuatu,
    kita hilang perjuangan terhadap sesuatu yang lebih penting..



    p.s ~sape nak membantu melengkapkan manifesto..need ajk for my pesta buku~ngee
    p.p.s~ read between the line [pinjam ayat senior]
    p.p.p.s~home sweet home =)

    Hari Buruh

    Hari ini Hari Buruh, ertinya CUTI. Dan buat kesekian kalinya, waktu perjalanan ke Sekretariat

    " Aku rasa moto ni goyang-goyang la..tak de angin ke..?"

    "A'a aku pon rasa goyang-goyang"

    " Kita gi stesyen minyak dulu la"

    Ada tiga pilihan

    Pilihan Pertama : Pergi ikut jalan biasa, keluar pintu PJ

    Pilihan Kedua : Pergi ikut Kolej Sembilan (Lalu Fakulti Pendidikan)

    Pilihan Ketiga : Pergi ikut Kolej Sembilan (Lalu Fakulti Bahasa)

    "Zilah ko ingat jalan yang ikut 9th"

    "Erk tak ingat sangat.."

    Jadi kitaorang pilih jalan kedua

    ***

    Di pintu pagar

    "Erk tutup la!"

    ***

    Pergi ikut Bahasa

    " Huh..pak guard cuti ke..?"

    Akhirnya, pergi ikut jalan biasa

    ***

    "Cepat-cepat isi angin belakang"

    "Tak boleh laa..Keluar balik"

    " Isi depan dulu la..jap aku gi panggil orang tue"

     

    Then here comes the best part [apa yang best..?]

    "Dik dah pancit la..mau tukar ka..?"

    "Nak, berapa..?"

    "RM15"

    "Hah..? RM15 kurang laa sikit..selalu RM 10 je"

    "Tak boleh2 sini selalu RM15"

    "RM12?"

    "Nanti saya tanya bos"

     

    Dan memang dah sure laa kan orang tue takkan bg ..

    "Jom laa gi tempat lain"

    Bukan sebab mahal, tapi tak suka orang ambil kesempatan..

    Dan dengan bersusah payahnya pergi cari tempat untuk tukar tayar moto.

    Maka bila hari ini Hari Buruh, maka ertinya kedai tutup!

    We Share the same Dreams..

     

    My Heart Bleeds

    by Timothy Cheng

    View Image

    unity beyond races

     

    ...for this nation.
    I can't sleep. It is 2.30am.
    I know people are gonna get mad at me writing this, but it's right from the heart.
    And I've been silent too long.


    ***


    I enrolled in University of Malaya two years ago as a medical student.


    And realised what a sheltered life some of us live. Through our orientation by seniors, I realised how racist my surroundings were. We juniors were taught to get to know seniors from our OWN race, before the others. And so we graduate, hardly getting to know our seniors from other races.
    One senior tells of her experience:


    "Hi senior, my name is XXX"
    "Why you greeting me? I'm not of your race lah."


    Mind you I'm not referring to any particular race but making a general statement. This is tradition, so says everyone.


    As the faculty does not release past year questions, students memorise questions out of the exam hall and compile them into a book. This past year questions then become one of the main reasons for a junior to join this orientation system - to get the past years. And yup, therefore the past year memorising is also done by races and you have the malay past years, the Chinese past years and the Indian/Bumiputera past years (which is compiled from their Malay/Chinese friends that are nice to pass some to them. or they find someone's book lying somewhere)


    Being the abnormal/weird one that I was, I suggested that we combined with the Indians and the Bumiputera students to memorise the questions. Tried it for the last semester of first year. And after that got blasted nicely by the seniors who made us promise:


    - that we will never share with other races
    - that we will never memorise with other races
    - that we will never bring this issue up again


    Campus elections came and went and I was elected as student representative of the faculty with one of my promises: to tackle this issue of racism.
    And one day I came to my senses (credit given to a batchmate too, Satpal) and I thought, why shouldn't we just have one student society? Instead of having:


    - Medsoc (medical society)
    - PSIPUM (persatuan siswa-siswi islam perubatan universiti malaya)
    We should just have ONE medical student society.
    And combining efforts in the past year questions thing would be the first step to do that.


    Instead of:
    Why should we share and memorise questions together?
    Should the question NOT be:
    Why CAN'T we share and memorise questions together?


    ***


    And so I decided to bring the matter to some friends and the student in charge of coordinating the chinese past years. The more I talked to my friends, the more of this answers I got:


    "Actually can lor...just that must see the majority...and then leh..the seniors how ah?"


    A bit of history: Students 4, 5 years ago used to memorise questions together. Why did we suddenly change? I don't think our seniors from many years ago would be against this. If my history is wrong, then forgive me.


    ***


    Anyway, tonight came and as my Chinese batchmates sat in front of me, I futilely explained my suggestion..aand I realised my fault. I had forgotten about THE PROMISE. And some said "Past years are not the only way to unity." Really hmm? Why is it that I still see people speaking in mandarin in front of your friends? Why do you not take any interest in PSIPUM activities? The FIRST step to unity, or to helping to change the faculty, would be these past year questions.


    And so we voted.


    And as I watched 95% of friends putting up their hands against the idea of sharing...


    my heart bled.


    Tears would have fallen but they somehow didn't. I couldn't believe my eyes.


    SO...we are back to square one. I now realise that people just aren't mature enough or prepared to see the long term benefit in sharing. Many do agree and feel that it is the best for all of us. But not everyone is as foolishly brave as me. I'm thinking to myself...what do I do then? Do I still follow the rest of the chinese? And how do I do that when I'm trying to stand for unity? Should I comply for the sake of peace?
    For not following the chinese would mean that I'd probably be: kicked out of the orientation/buddy line system; which would affect my current first year buddy, etc.


    "You'll lose all your friends, don't do this."
    I think I'll find my TRUE friends after this.


    "You are still part of us! Although I don't agree with you....we will not disown you...appreciate your contribution."


    "No matter what the outcome, you are always part of us, friends, nothing will ever change this fact, neither ideology, culture, religion nor race."


    "When an idea cannot run, you need to think of a new one."


    "Theoretically I agree with you."


    Thank you all for those encouraging messages.
    So maybe I have failed. Failed to think of a BETTER idea. No problem. I am not going to let 5 years of medical school slip by without TRYING to change things.


    ***


    Who is to blame then?
    A lot of underlying problems.
    The chinese are angry cos only 10% of non-bumiputeras are allowed into matriculation.
    But don't they see that before this it was 0%?
    They don't agree that there is a society for islamic medical students; they assume that the malays get special help from their lecturers.
    We have the medical society, which has a chinese president for a year, then an indian, then a chinese, etc.
    The malays are upset cos the chinese take their past year questions but don't want to share their own. The chinese can make announcements in mandarin right in front of them.
    The indians and bumiputeras are frustrated because they don't have enough people to memorise questions.
    We sit and eat in the dining hall according to our races.
    And the list goes on and on.


    ***


    Who is to blame then?
    The system has conditioned us to BE racist.
    For example: Filling any sort of form, will require you to put:
    - religion
    - race

    And so we have this definition of people according to their race.

    We only speak the language that we are most comfortable with. And that separates us. Students don't mix with people from other races, simply because they find it hard to talk to them. If you're a non-mandarin speaking Chinese, you naturally have your own English-speaking friends.


    Malaysia is a multi-racial society and must also be multi-lingual.
    Languages, not A language, will unite us.
    Unfortunately the education system is not there yet.


    Some of us go for biro tatanegara camps, and slide shows are put up saying, "Melayu itu tuan."
    We get mad when people get mad about teaching math and science in english.
    We think bumiputera special rights for is unfair.
    We don't like it when the chinese are more successful in making money than the rest.
    We can't stand it when we hear the "azan" (muslim call to prayer).
    We don't like to wear the baju kebangsaan just because it's a baju melayu.
    We say we will never have a non-malay prime minister.
    We think we will never have a non-malay education minister.
    We don't like the "baca doa" before ceremonies.
    We throw the ISA at people that try to speak up.
    We are frustrated that there are so many mosques and "surau"s everywhere but relatively much less places of worship of other religions.
    We make a big fuss about using the word "Allah".
    And so on.

    So I'm living in utopia, someone said. My ideas are all unreal isn't it? Too ideal maybe?
    "Just accept lah. Life's like that. Always bad."
    Humans naturally gravitate towards their own race. I suppose we just have to accept it huh?


    But friends, we are either:


    FOR or AGAINST something.


    And it can only be:


    RIGHT or WRONG


    ***


    And as I sit here at 3.30am, with a big sigh, I wonder again:
    Is there NO HOPE for Malaysia?
    Again I ask: who is to blame?
    No one is to blame, but ourselves. Yup, including me.
    Something must be done. Let's start.
    And not give up.
    Who's with me?


    What will YOU do?


    Plodding on,
    Timothy.

    I wanted to write one article about what happen during BTN, but I guess what Tim had expresses completed half of what i wanted to say.

    Yes..we share the same dreams

    To see a new Malaysia..

    To see real practise of UNITY..

    To see real RESPECT in every Malaysian..

    yet..there are obstacles that we need to face..

    Challenges for  those who are ready for a CHANGE

    Waktu Operasi Perpustakaan

    Syukur. Hanya kata ini yang terucap. Alhamdulillah, satu manifesto telah berjaya aku langsaikan. Mungkin bukan impak yang besar buat sesetengah pihak, namun syukur masih ada yang menghargai.

    Kerjaku mudah kali ini, berbincang dan mengusulkan kepada pihak pentadbiran perpustakaan untuk memanjangkan waktu operasi perpustakaan semasa minggu peperiksaan. Perbincangan yang singkat dengan Ketua Perpustakaan serta Timbalan-timbalannya begitu menarik perhatian. Kagum. Sungguh, itu yang terucap dihati. Keazaman, semangat yang ditunjukkan dalam membantu pelajar sangat mengujakan [ade ke perkataan ni..?]

    Alhamdulillah Allah bantu lagi. Pemanjangan waktu operasi yang diminta untuk Perpustakaan Utama di tambah pula dengan pemanjangan waktu operasi di Perpustakaan Fakulti Undang-undang. Tapi malangnya waktu operasi untuk Hari Sabtu dan Ahad masih seperti biasa. Tak perlu aku terangkan dengan lebih lanjut..semuanya ada di dalam notis di bawah
