Salam Aidilfitri, Salam Lebaran, Salam Kemaafan...

Suara tangis yang kau dengar
Memecah hari kudus ini
Adalah aku
Mengenang pemilikmu

Kita pohon kemenangan
Meroboh kota keakuan
Ini saatnya
Yang kunanti-nanti

Mereka yang dilanda derita
Redhalah harimu kan tiba
Cahaya kekasih yang benar
Menghapus segala api kemarahan

Salam dunia
Salam semua
Salam Hari Raya
Bersinar akhirnya
Salam dunia
Salam semua
Salam Hari Raya
Bersinar akhirnya

Inilah hari kita
Tiada lagi rasa ketakutan

Inilah hari kita

Go figure...

resistance is not futile ! (part 2)

AsSalaam wrh. wbt. friends and foes,

Let's begin with an all too familiar question for the past couple of postings, how exactly do you silence the voice of the majority ? There are countless ways apparently here in Malaysia, you simply have to choose to your heart's content.

This seems to be the weapon of choice for those who walks along the corridor of 'super natural' powers. How else can you explain the absolutely blatant disregard of laws and utter arrogance of the powers that be ?

I might not be able to explain the finer, intricate legal details of what actually transpired when the five-men panel of judges of the Federal Court gave a damning verdict of 5 - 0 against Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin, but I can do one thing.

I refuse to be a mere by-stander in this hideous event, the real issue here is the manner at which the Federal Constitution and the Perak's State Constitution have been torn to pieces. I'm all for respecting the court's decision and let me be absolutely clear, this isn't about not being able to accept the judgment, the implications of the court's decision far outweighs all that.

It implicates that the majority's voice has been cruelly silenced ! It confirms the detrimental state of constitutionalism and the spirit of democracy here in Malaysia. It makes all for the worst considering the fact that the Federal Court can now be used to systemically 'annihilate' whatever that is left of our democracy.

The Malaysian judiciary might as well mark Feb 9th as the day it succumbed to lawlessness !



I was so inspired by this image that I just had to share it with my readers, and yes, I'm guilty of nicking this picture from Titi Serong's assemblyman, YB Idham Lim's blog (sorry YB...hehe). Just so you know, this picture was taken AFTER the verdict has gone against him okay ! Do you see any strand of sadness ? Any look of spiteful hatred ? Any little face expression that might suggest hopelessness or disappointment ? Not one tiny bit !

He's here for the long run, he's here and he will be there when the Perakians given the chance again to cast your votes, insya-ALlah...
He represented the voice of the majority when he was elected in 2008, and you can be damn sure he will be the representative of resistance against the tyrannies of our time !

Wassalaam.

resistance is not futile !

AsSalaam wrh. wbt. boys and girls...

How do you silence the voice of the majority ? The majority that refuse to bow down to intimidation of any sorts. The majority that feels cheated, shortchanged and denied their basic rights.

The answer to the question is pretty much everything the Glazers are doing to the match-going fans at Old Trafford nowadays. You sing an anti-Glazer song, you'll be ejected...hang an anti-Glazer banner, the banner will be pulled down in an instant... there have also been reports of season ticket holders being evicted from their seats and their tickets confiscated ! Now, that is just not nice at all.

Us, fans will have our say in the running of Manchester United Football Club whether the Glazers like it or not. We never liked them in the first place, we won't like them now.

Romanticising the blogging experience.

AsSalaam wrh. wbt. everybody !!!

Gosh, I really really couldn't fathom why on earth it took me soooooo long to update nay, to write something of interest to me in this blog. One thing's for sure though, since that last entry of mine in September '09 (gasp!), I went through one of the most crucial and defining period in my entire life...


To tell you guys the truth, I don't even know where to start ! Anyways, I honestly think that it is only fit and proper that I reserve those moments in other postings in the future, insya-ALlah... but for here and now though, I'm just inexplicably happy that I'm slowly but surely getting back into the 'passion' and 'romance' of blogging.

Let's set the record straight, I blog about matters or things that I love, namely Manchester United, football, maybe a few books (if I'm reading any at all...) my life in general and a tiny weeny bit on Malaysian politics... okay, and here's the thing though, I've never claimed nor have I ever mentioned anywhere in my posts that I'm an expert/Nobel Prize winner/Time magazine personality of the year/big shot/Mr. Smarty Pants/guru/sage/Mr.Know-It-All on the entries that I wrote about, they're just MY personal opinions... whether you agree or not to what I think is entirely your prerogative. I'm all for cohesive discussions, sensible and responsible comments so that we can have what might resemble a decent discussion pertaining the subject matter.

Until next time, see ya guys around !!! Wassalaam...

Ma'a salamah wa ilal liqa' Ya Ramadhan, Ahlan wa sahlan Ya Syawal.

AsSalaam wrh. wbt. kepada semua...

Saya ingin mengucapkan SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI, MOHON MAAF ZAHIR DAN BATIN kepada semua teman, rakan, sahabat, kenalan, saudara mara keseluruhannya. Doa' dan harapan saya ialah agar semua kesalahan serta kekurangan saya selama ini dapat dimaafkan agar kita boleh membuka lembaran baru. Dikesempatan ini juga, saya ingin memohon dengan rasa rendah diri dan tawadhu' agar rakan-rakan pembaca dapat bersedekah bacaan Surah Al-Fatihah untuk almarhumah ibu saya iaitu, Hajah Jandrah Bte. Haji Ajab. Tahun ini merupakan tahun kedua kami sekeluarga -Abah, Fahmi, Yayang dan Mamad- merayakan Aidilfitri tanpa ibu tercinta.

Sejujurnya saya merasakan Ramadhan kali ini berlalu terlalu pantas bagi saya, mungkin saya yang terlalu sibuk atau buat - buat sibuk. Kenyataannya, saya sedih apabila 29 Ramadhan menjadi tirai penutupan kepada bulan penuh mulia dan barakah ini. Semoga Allah s.w.t menerima dan memberkati segala ibadah dan amalan yang telah kita laksanakan sepanjang bulan mulia lagi barakah ini, insya-ALlah...

Wassalaam.
