Disebalik Tabir: Majlis Pra-Graduasi Fakulti Undang2 UiTM

Saya menulis post ini untuk memberi gambaran dan maklumat mengenai majlis pra-graduasi yang telah diadakan semalam. Saya juga ingin mengucapkan terima kasih kepada ahli jawatankuasa majlis yang telah melaksanakan majlis tersebut dengan jayanya. Walaupun pelbagai halangan yang mereka hadapi, apa yang telah saya saksikan malam tadi adalah satu bukti bahawa memang orang2 yang menjalankan majlis tersebut bukan calang2 orang kerana halangan yang mereka hadapi adalah amat sukar.

Salah seorang daripada ketua pelajar, N, batch tersebut sepatutnya mengambil tanggungjawab untuk menjalankan majlis tersebut, tetapi beliau tidak mahu melakukannya demi menjaga kepentingan para pelajar lain. Pada pandangan beliau, pelajar part tersebut adalah sedikit liar - oleh kerana risau akan reputasi para pelajar terjejas di mana para pentadbir dan pensyarah, beliau tidak melakukan majlis tersebut.

Tugas untuk melaksanakan majlis tersebut kemudian diambil oleh seorang lagi pelajar, A, yang hanya mempunyai masa kurang dua bulan untuk menjayakan majlis tersebut. Pelbagai pandangan dicari, sama ada dari segi kesesuaian, tempat, kepuasan pelajar dan sebarang permintaan. Boleh dikatakan hampit sebulan masa digunakan untuk merancang, mendapat kelulusan proposal, mengumpul tenaga kerja yang terdiri daripada pelajar sendiri dan memilih tempat.

Tugas2 ini adalah amat sukar, walaupun nitijahnya agak mudah, keadaan masa yang suntuk, kerenah (permintaan) yang ada, dan kekangan2 lain menjadikan tugas memulakan majlis ini, merupakan antara perkara yang paling susah untuk dilakukan. Boleh kata, kalau dulu ada masalah tak sampai sakit kepala sampai sebulan, tapi kali ini hampir sebulan, kepala mesti akan merasa sakit.

Tidak lama kemudian tugas tersebut digalas oleh orang lain, A, diatas sebab2 tertentu, orang sebelumnya, menarik diri. Ternyata kehadiran orang ini di dalam ahli jawatan kuasa merubah segalanya, bajet dapat kelulusan dan perancangan yang lebih rapi dan telus telah dilakukan. Memang terbukti bahawa orang ini adalah seorang insan yang hebat, tetapi sehebat-hebatnya, orang tersebut telah jatuh sakit dan terpaksa duduk berehat untuk maktu sekian lama.

Dalam keadaan tersebut, ketika dalam masa yang akhir2 sebelum majlis tersebut berlaku, 2 orang dari ahli jawatankuasa, (P & A), telah mengambil tanggungjawab, tenyata mereka adalah penyelesai masalah yang rumit, walaupun hanya tinggal beberapa hari sahaja, mereka telah berjaya menggerakkan ahli jawatankuasa terhadap tanggungjawab masing2 dan sehingga pada hari2 akhir, pelbagai masalah yang timbul dapat deselesaikan dan hasilnya dapat dilihat pada malam tadi - kelancaran majlis, makanan yang sedap, para pensyarah dan pelajar yang amat berpuas hati.

Inilah yang saya maksudkan sebagai manusia2 yang hebat, mereka berjaya melaksanakan majlis ini dengan jayanya - segala konflik telah diatasi dengan bijak dan matang, tahniah saya ucapkan sekali lagi kepada semua ahli jawatan kuasa.

Tetapi izinkan saya menyatakan beberapa kritikan disini, kepada yang berkenaan:

1 - Kegiatan membawa cerita hendaklah difikirkan dahulu sebelum dilakukan, siasat dahulu kebenarannya, fahami dahulu bahawa memang betul bawa cerita atau pun salah faham, selepas itu barulah mengambil tindakan masing2, jangan terlalu cepat melenting - kerana kadang2 perkara yang tidak benar dan perkara yang berasaskan salah faham menjadi sumber perpecahan. Dalam mengambil tindakan, janganlah terlalu ekstrem, setiap orang yang waras, akan punyai sebab munasabah untuk melakukan sesuatu, berkomunikasilah dengan cara yang baik, tak perlu hendak terlalu ofensif atau terlalu defensif - kedua2 pihak memain peranan.

2 - Hormatilah, segala cadangan atau permintaan, walaupun tidak munasabah, hendaklah ianya dihormati - tidak semestinya kita menghormati sesuatu cadangan yang kita perlu mengikutinya. Apabila kita belajar menghormati cadangan dan saranan, ia sebenarnya akan mendidik kita agar bersikap sederhana dan tidak terlalu defensif untuk mempertahankan diri kita., dan sebagai kesan melahirkan suasana yang tenteram kurang konflik.

3 - Kotakanlah janji kita, jikalau satu pihak telah melakukan satu pengorbanan besar untuk tindakan dari pihak yang satu lagi, maka adalah tidak wajar pihak yang satu lagi untuk mengkhianati perjanjian tersebut. Ingatlah, apabila satu pihak tadi sanggup melaksanakan satu pengorbanan besar - maka ia beranggapan bahawa pihak yang lagi satu itu mempunyai kualiti yang amat tinggi dan amat diperlukan, adalah kejam untuk meninggalkan perjanjian tersebut.

4 - Bersederhanalah dalam semua hal, kita tidak rugi apa2 kalau bersikap sederhana, malah kita amat beruntung kalau bersikap demikian, bukan sahaja kemahuan kita dipenuhi, malah orang lainb pun tidak jadi marah - kita hidup didunia ini mungkin lama atau sekejap, mahu atau tidak akan berjumpa, jikalau ada sakit hati itu, maka jumpa pun tak sedap, ini adalah satu keadaan yang merugikan kedua2 pihak.

Itulah pandangan saya berkenaan majlis ini, keseluruhan, majlis ini berjaya memenuhi objektifnya - fakulti mahu akademik pengisian dan pelajar mahu keriangan sebelum berpisah untuk semester akhir bagi sesetengah pelajar. Yang masalah bukan hal kerja, tetapi sikap dan hati kita.

Saya pohon maaf jikalau ada pihak yang terasa makan hati, tetapi percayalah, apa yang saya tulis ini bukan untuk mengutuk tetapi lebih untuk berkongsi pendapat saya dan nasihat sesama kita, saya pun bukan sempurna dan terbuka kepada teguran.

Sekian...

I find politics is boring nowadays...

For some reason that I can't explain, I find myself not fond of politics nowadays, I do not know the reasons, but what I can say is, you look at my blog and you see nothing is updated on politics...

But there some things that I must share with all of those who still read my blog. I have been so busy doing things, where I have motive behind it, when it is bad, I find myself prevented to achieve any success that can be measured monetarily. All what I get are only values, which I don't really know whether it is good for me or bad.

I must also say that I am at the crossroad of my life, I know that they are many things that I must choose, but somehow, I am unable to make the choice, even if I know a choice is right - most of the time, I do not have the courage to do so, and when I have the courage to make that choice, it is already too late.

That is why, I am writing now, to ask favor from all who can help, family and friends, I need support, I am not strong and I take what people say seriously. So, if anyone out there who can help me, any kind of help, I welcome you and I'll very happy to consider.

I don't know what is happening to me...

Satu Cadangan kepada Kerajaan Barisan Nasional

Ekonomi kini, walau dalam keadaan yang kurang selesa, tetapi boleh dikatakan bahawa ia stabil untuk negara. Walaupun begitu rakyat terutama golongan berpendapatan rendah masih lagi tersepit dengan peningkatan harga barang. BUkan itu sahaja, graduan universiti juga sukar untuk mendapat pekerjaan yang tetap disebabkan pengembangan ekonomi yang perlahan.

Atas sebab diatas saya mencadang agar kerajaan mengambil langkah proaktif yang lebih besar untuk mengembangkan ekonomi langsung memberi peluang pekerjaan kepada rakyat. Apa yang boleh dilakukan, kerajaan jika tidak mahu mengguna tanah di dalam negara, perlu melakukan pelaburan yang besar di negara2 membangun dan cuba untuk menghantar rakyat negara ini untuk bekerja disana sama ada dalam bidang professional atau pun buruh.

Banyak sektor perniagaan yang boleh diterokai, contoh, di Indonesia, kita boleh meningkatkan pendapatan pertanian dengan menggunakan tanah mereka yang luas dan tenaga pekerja mereka yang murah, tindakan yang di ambil oleh Tabung Haji untuk melabur di Indonesia adalah satu cara yang patut dipertingkatkan lagi. Bagitu juga PETRONAS yang melakukan cari gali di luar negara.

Di dalam negara pula kerajaan perlu meneruskan projek2 mega, kerana ia akan membarikan kontrak yang amat banyak. Dari kontrak tersebut akan lahirlah lebih banyak peluang2 pekerjaan dan juga peluang2 perniagaan sama ada sewaktu penyiapan projek mahupun setelah projek siap, semua lapisan masyarakat akan dapat menikmati dari peruntukan yang diberikan.

Anatar aprojek2 nesar di dalam negara yang boleh saya namakan disini adalah penggalian terusan antara sempadan Thailand dan Malaysia yang akan membuka peluang pekerjaan yang amat besar, bukan sahaja ia akan menghasilkan peluang pekerjaan yang besar malah peluang perniagaan dan pelaburan luar tanpa henti.

Dalm usaha memberi kemudahan kepada rakyat, kerajaan boleh memecahkan monopoli peruncit dan pemborong dalam pembekalan barangan asas kepada rakyat. Kerajaan boleh menubuhkan satu syarikat francise yang mampu untuk memberikan barangan asas pada harga murah dan juga peluang pekerjaan yang banyak dari segi pengurusan, penghantaran, pembantu pemasaran dan juga pembantu kedai. Konsep kedai seperti ini patut mampu dicapai oleh segenap besar masyarakat.

Utusan Malaysia tidak adil!

Sudah lama saya tidak menulis di blog ini dan tulisan ini adalah rentetan daripada kecenderungan akhbar utusan membawa berita seruan daripada golongan ternama kristian sendiri supaya menarik penggunaan kalimah Allah sebagai rujukan kepada tuhan.

Baru2 ini saya pun telah menulis di dalam blog saya yang lain bahawa tiada masalah besar kalau mereka nak guna nama Allah nak rujuk pada tuhan, sebab yang saya beri ialah memang terbukti di dalam sejarah bahawa Allah adalah perkataan universal masyarakat arab terhadap rujukan atau panggilan terhadap tuhan.

Tetapi saya rasa terpanggil untuk menjelaskan lebih lanjut berkenaan perkara ini, kerana pada penulisan terakhir saya tulis atas pagar, di sini biar saya nyatakankan pandangan saya. Saya tidak mempunyai masalah orang kristian Malaysia mahu guna nama Allah sebagai rujukan terhadap nama tuhan diatas sebab2 berikut:

1 - Tidak wajar umat Islam kini rasa tercabar kerana pada zaman Nabi S.A.W. dahulu dikalangan masyarakat arab, tidak sekali pun Nabi S.A.W. membantah orang bukan Islam yang beragama selain Islam menggunakan nama Allah sebagai rujukan kepada nama tuhan mereka. Malah masyarakat arab dahulu, sama ada Yahudi atau Nasrani tidak menolak bahawa Allah itu tuhan malah tuhan yang mereka sembah (tetapi telah menyimpang, walaubagaimanapun, mereka tetap sembah Allah), mereka hanya menolak mengapa Nabi S.A.W. diturunkan dikalangan arab jahiliah sehina-hina, sesesat-sesat kaum pada ketika itu.

Jikalau pada waktu tersebut ditika Nabi S.A.W. hidup tiada bantahan pun terhadap penggunaan Allah, dari mana kita dapat justifikasi bahawa Allah itu ekslusif nama tuhan orang Islam. Bukankah Kristian juga sembah Allah sama seperti zaman Nabi dahulu, dimana dulu ada tritini sekarang pun ada triniti yang dibawa (diubah dari asal) oleh Saint Paulus.

2 - Sebab kedua saya ialah, tidak lain dan tidak bukan bahawa tiada justifikasi untuk larang orang Kristian guna nama Allah sebagai rujukan pada tuhan bukan datang dari agama tetapi dari ketakutan yang ada pada sesetengah orang Islam yang berbangsa Melayu yang mempunyai maslah infeririti kompleks sejak turun temurun dari nenek moyang mereka, bila golongan ini mempunyai kuasa sedikit ia tidak boleh dicabar walaupun mereka sebenarnya golongan yang paling patut menyokong tindakan itu. Contohnya ialah, tentang hal guna nama Allah oleh orang Kristian ini, dahulu Nabi S.A.W. tidak pernah larang, tetapi sekarang entah mane2 mereka belajar atau pikir, tiba2 orang kristian tidak boleh panggil tuhan mereka dengan nama Allah.

3 - Sebab ketiga adalah tiada faedah kita melarang mereka berbuat demikian, sudahlah keadaan kita lemah sekarang dengan pelbagai tanggapan negatif yang dilemparkan terhadap Islam, kita hanya memburukkan lagi keadaan yang mengakibatkan seolah-olah Islam ini sempit betul, kurang ilmu dan langsung tidak toleran. Sudahlah Nabi S.A.W. tidak melarang, kita pula nak sibuk2 larang di atas dasar hukum yang kita sendiri wujudkan. Perlulah untuk saya nyatakan di sini, janganlah kita rendahkan martabat agama Islam itu sendiri dalam usaha kita untuk protektif terhadap bangsa kita, kerana saya percaya Nabi S.A.W. atau Allah S.W.T. amat marah akan tindakan ini.

Sekian, Islam itu indah bukan alat untuk segolongan bangsa yang takut pada bayang2 sendiri.

Perak's MB Crisis: Between Legal Standing & Emotion...

I have made several remarks concerning the Perak MB's crisis. I am not changing the stand that I am taking of which I disagree with the finding of the court that it is suffice by the action of the Royal to pick a new Menteri Besar that at the same time it causes the effectiveness of non-confidence motion against the previous Menteri Besar.

The court on that particular situation was faced with the question whether the appointment of the new MB is valid in the absence of the motion of vote of no confidence. The court decided on behalf of the Barisan Nasional that appointment alone suffice to constitute that the previous MB have lost its majority. It was reasoned that extraneous circumstances revolving in Perak in connection of the event of the appointment is sufficient to consider that the previous MB have lost his majority.

There was reference made to the case in Sabah or Sarawak where a particular State Minister challenge the validity of resignation of the Chief Minister, in which he argued that only through the vote of no-confidence that can show a State Chief Minister cease from office, as such the court on the Perak's MB case, decided that in this situation the fact that the Chief Minister resigned is the extraneous circumstances taken to constitute that the Chief Minister cease to have office.

The application of this case is rebuttable in its application to the case concerning the Perak's MB crisis where the case which was relied on is where the Chief Minister tendered resignation letter but in Perak, there was no resignation letter tendered, as such if the correct interpretation of this case were to be used, it can be deduced that in event where there was no voluntary resignation made, extraneous circumstances cannot be applied, this the act of appointing the new MB is invalid.

On the vote of no confidence, this is the only method available to oust an Executive leader in a parliamentary system, when he refuses to resign when he does not command the support of the majority, this is the position provided by numerous Indian cases that I can't remember their names. So, here, although that BN in Perak may have the majority of assemblymen, they must put foward the motion of no-confidence as this is the only way to constitute a valid sacking of the current Menteri Besar of Perak, only through this manner that the respect upon the rights of the people in Perak is honoured, through the trust that they have placed in their representatives.

But since, the act of the Royal to appoint new MB is where the court bases its support, clearly the decision made transgressing the rights of the people of which this country belongs to. It defeats democracy and allows Royal anarchy in this country that supposed to have been a constitutional monarchy. I never disputed the right of the Royal to select the MB of their own choice but that can only be done after the decision of the people is honored.

I have a few videos that I have taken from the UMNO official website, judging the conduct of Pakatan Rakyat members in response of their protest over the appointment of the new BN's MB. I think their conduct is something so extreme and should have not happened, it is such a regret from them to be selected, but despite their conduct what should prevail is the right of the people.

Please correct or add my supportive authority, I am not at the luxury of time to make extensive research...

Response to BN unjustified claims of support in Bagan Pinang

The recent election in Bagan Pinang is something that is considered as beyond comprehension. It goes against the current political trend today. It is really difficult to understand, what actually causes BN to win? Is it because of Pakatan Rakyat’s inability to show unity? Is it because Isa is greatly pictured by the locals? Is it that Indians have chosen UMNO because of the respect given towards Makkal Sakti? or Is it because of the success of the plan of building better Malaysia through Najib’s concept of 1Malaysia? I don’t really know… – Posted by Aizuddin Sapian

Din, the results shown are so clear that people want Barisan Nasional back into power. I go everywhere and people today discuss about politics everyday, including those at mamaks stall, mid-aged makcik, and not to forget the bus driver as well. They are getting into Malaysian politics after the 12th general election because of the stumbleness and loopholes left by many political parties not to mention those who have durhaka to the King.

Obviously many of them are from Pakatan Rakyat leaders. What to mention? Its like a bunch of them. I can’t find one good leader from Pakatan with valuable contribution except for Zulkifli Nordin. Yes he had done a lot to the Muslim and the Malays. Its not too much for me to say that he is Pakatan’s saviour. Without him, Pakatan will lose even bigger.
So what actually these Pakatan leaders have done in the past two years?

1.
They form blogs to insult the Royalty.
2.
They kill those who will discover their secret activities.
3.
They are in serious underworld gansters activities.
4.
They fight for the survival of pigs and temples.
5.
They even kicking each others’ asses and busted their own friends!
6.
They think beer drinking is something to be called as fundamental liberties.

Most of the tags above are those referred to DAP and PKR, since I am of the opinion that PAS was the minor contributor to their recent defeat.

1.
TGNA has gone beyond limit when he determines who shall go to heaven and who shall go the hell.

People are not stupid. All I can say that, Pakatan has left TGNA out of control and therefore his statements are being subjected to jokes and this is one of the consequence of causing their defeat.

This is why people are shifting back to Barisan Nasional.

---

This is my response:

Those remanrks that i made is not because i don’t actually understand the underlying cause of bn’s victory, it is just a statement of regret that the people there have chosen Isa from UMNO, in which Isa should not be blamed but the perwakilan at UMNO general meeting are at fault, they are the one who accepts Isa’s money and sacrifice their trust to represent their people…

It is very sad that the people don’t realize this, they are actually supporting UMNO leaders who are selected by those perwakilan that are not fit to be in UMNO, now that when the UMNO Perlembagaan changed giving no quota, more politicians in UMNO will play money than before where not all capable to contest…

Don’t say that the people are rejecting the Pakatan Rakyat all over as Bagan Pinang is BN’s stronghold equally to N9, Isa once ADUN there for a long time, that it is of no dispute that he is generous – where I don’t intend this to imply that he is corrupted, it is the Isa factor that is the major factor causing this win…

It is something that I must admit that certain Pakatan Rakyat members are stupid as they cannot maintain good relations between theselves, a sign of flaw, which to me the Pakatan must address and that the leaders have somehow address, look Karpal and Hadi once quarrel, now that they are good, in Selangor recently, issue has been settled by Tan Sri Khalid, it is clear that Pakatan is new and that their key persons are working towards unity…

On fighting for pigs and temples, those who condemns these actions in saying something that is against Islam, Islam preach freedom of religion, remember tiada paksaan dalam Islam which applies to the non-Muslims, so for non-Muslims to have temple shouldn’t be a problem, istead it must be embraced where only through this the beauty of Islam is reflected…

On babi, tiada Paksaan dalam Islam, meaning to say if people want to bela babi, knp mau larang, kalau cina mau bela untuk makan biarlah, tetapi pengawalan perlu ada, tak pernah pula dr duk cakap pasal untung genting yang masuk dalam duit kerajaan, fikir balik dahulu sahabat pernah respon kepada seorang wanita bukan mahram untuk berslam dengannya, dia kata, lebih baik aku menyentuh anjing daripada bersalam denganmu, maksudnya babi anjing haramnya tidak mendatangkan dosa sentuh dan sosial, tetapi ramai orang melayu sekarang walau selalu pergi masjid pun atau bertudung pun tetap tak kisah dalam hal2 sebegini, bende yang haram dan dosa jelas, benda yang haram tak dosa pun jelas, lagipunislam sudah ajak macam mana nak guna duit untung babi dan judi ini untuk digunakan…

about insulting the royals, memang patut, bukan sebab untuk kutuk the instituion of monarch in malaysia, but to kutuk those royals yang mengkhianati amanah tuhan terhadap mereka adalah justified, lebih2 lagi di malaysia ini, i have friends who talks about the conduct of these royals when they mix along, and how they misuse the people’s money not for beneficial purposes such as enjoyment and et cetera, imagine how many poor will be help if those wang pembaziran royal were to be used to help them…

you are fond of politics but if you still say that but kissing is something wrongful for PR, than what if we make comparison with this but kiss attitude in barisan, they are even worse than pakatan’s people…

dr. i thought you are smart, but you omit many factors and make claims without sufficient irrebuttable reasons, maybe people should stop calling you doctor la…

jgn mara ye sidek, dalam blog je mcm ni, hahaha…

Bagan Pinang: The outcome is everything...

I have made numerous remarks about the lection in Bagan Pinang, now to stop making it, let me just put it all here so there is no need for me to keep on saying about it all the time.

Bagan Pinang by election is very important because I believe that if the Pakatan Rakyat can win here, there is no doubt that they may be the federal government one day. Negeri Sembilan has always been the place that was once regerded as one of UMNO strongholds aside from Johor. If we were to look at the 8th general election, the swift was so clear that UMNO not just not that strong anymore but is heading to its destruction.

It is of no doubt that the supports of the non-malays will definitely go to the Pakatan Rakyat because they had been consistent in fighting for equality for all races in this country. But what make me say Bagan Pinang is important, is that it will show, who actually will be chosen by the Malays, whether UMNO or the Pakatan Rakyat, as such despite the votes of the non-Malays will be the determining factor, the dfference of the vote will reflect Pakatan Rakyat's chance of winning the next general election.

Some may say that Isa Samad is a famous man there and that he is highly regarded by the locals. I think this is not true, if I am not mistken, during the Mahathir's reign despite the people of Negeri Sembilan supports UMNO, they don't view Isa as an old and strong favourable factor but rather a disease that is difficult to get rid of. It was lucky for the people of Negeri Sembilan when Isa chose Mohamad Hassan to replace him.

Mohamad Hassan on the other hand is a man of progress, before his rule, Negeri Sembilan had an abundance of money but under Mohamad's administration, those money are spent, not we can see alot of progress in Negeri Sembilan. He is a thinker of some sort, where he always preach his ideas of how can we go futher. He is also good in a sense that, when he go on campaigning for the election, he'll rarely crticize people personally but he focus on what should be done for the benefit of all. He also strive for the change of Malay negative cultures. I do have the confidence that if Mohamad Hassan were to campaign for Isa, there are some handsome possibility for Isa to win. But as a piece of advise, the regime of which he is staying now is going down because they don't give way to changes, I suggest that Mohamad join Pakatan Rakyat, only here his voices of change will be heard by the leaders but not in UMNO.

Back on Isa, I believe that people don't vote because of the candidate, people will look at the party at large, only that a person is so good, like Shahrir Samad, Mohamad Hassan, Tengku Razaleigh, Zaid Ibrahim, and not many more, where people vote because of the candidate. The indication was people now vote according to the party line, this is reflected with the recent general election where Samy Vellu and Shahrizat were defeated at their constituencies. Shahrizat to me is very good at performance but the desire of the people to reject UMNO were to strong to be shadowed by Shahrizat's good reputation. Now we have Isa, when he was the Menteri Besar of Negeri Sembilan was highly critisized by the supporter of government and further involved in bribing the UMNO delegates to become UMNO's naib presiden, I think judging from this respect Isa is going to lose.

As for UMNO, they will lose, because they say and admit the need for change but they never acted as such they are heading to that direction, still they have no respect for the mutual respects with a country with different race composition. Pakatan Rakyat will win because they are supported by almost all non-Malays and most of the Malays as UMNO promise to help Malays, they don't do so anymore now and that is why they keep on harping on UMNO's past glory and contributions.

For A Better Malaysia...
