Anuar Zain sings one of a beautiful song i ever heard, “Lelaki Ini”. The music arrangement is perfect, the lyric suits the melody well, making me want to hear it more and more.

The man in the lyric is potrayed to be so obsessed with his beloved one. He keeps stressing that he is the man, going crazy bout his girl, whom his loyalty rests, always loving his girl and only her he praises - the queen of his heart.

I wonder does this kind of love exist? Will a man be like this to someone he loves, forever? Will he be persistent in loving the only woman in his life? Would he dare to risk himself, facing the possibility of being betrayed after so much effort he puts in loving his girl?

Someone used to tell me, that this song sounds gay, since the singer is a guy and too many “lelaki ini” being repeated. Well, I must say that the girl saying this is either joking with me or she is imbecilic. I must differ from that insensible view and I’m of opinion that this song is well crafted, well sung and does hit my very conscious every time i listen to it.

This song is for man who honors and cherishes love,expressing his determination of being loyal to the one he loves. Perhaps it also gives hope to woman, who wishes to meet a loyal and persistent lover, who will indulge himself in loving his girl for perpetual…

May True Love Emerge and Embrace The World.

Semalam (19 Mei 2008) Dr Mahathir mengumumkan beliau bahawa beliau keluar dari UMNO. Maka gemparlah satu Malaysia. Ramai yg terkejut beruk. Tak kurang yg memujuk beliau supaya menimbang semula keputusan itu, ada juga yg semacam tenang sambil berkata “itu isu peribadi, bukan parti”. Malah ada rakan Budak Mentah yg menggelarnya Melayu Agung~!

Pada tahun 1969, sesudah menulis surat beracun kepada Ayahanda Malaysia, Tunku Abdul Rahman, kemudian menyiarkan surat tersebut kepada umum, Dr Mahathir telah dipecat dari UMNO. Diterima kembali pada 1972. Pada tahun 1981, beliau menjadi Perdana Menteri ke 4.

Beliau memperkenalkan beberapa rang undang-undang pindaan Perlembagaan Persekutuan. Antaranya memansuhkan kekebalan Raja-Raja Melayu dari dihadapkan ke mahkamah, yg mendapat tentangan awal dari Majlis Raja-Raja. Budak Mentah merasakan tindakan itu bukan sahaja mempertikaikan kuasa Raja-Raja, malah merupakan satu cubaan untuk membuang hak istimewa itu dari Raja-Raja, suatu yang lebih hebat dari apa yang dibuat Karpal Singh, dan cubaan itu sempurna dgn jayanya. Tapi tiada siapa kata Dr Mahathir penderhaka, entah ada atau tidak laporan polis dibuat ke atasnya.

Peruntukan perkenan Yang Dipertuan Agong dlm meluluskan suatu undang-undang juga dibuang. Agong hanya boleh melewatkan penguatkuasaan undang-undang, namun tiada kuasa menolak. Kuasa mengisythiharkan Darurat yg dahulunya tertakluk di bawah budi bicara Yang Dipertuan Agong juga dipinda, dan kuasa tersebut “dipindahkan” (macam transfer2 dlm game plak) kepada Perdana Menteri.

1987, sesudah Peguam Negara gagal dlm cubaan memindahkan kes Dato Yap Peng dari Mahkamah Sesyen ke Mahkamah Tinggi, dimana Mahkamah Agung berpendapat perbuatan itu merupakan campur tangan kuasa Eksekutif ke dalam kuasa Kehakiman, Dr Mahathir dengan bijaksananya meminda Perkara 121 Perlembagaan Persekutuan, membuang klausa yg memperuntukkan kuasa Kehakiman kepada Mahkamah. Maka jadilah Mahkamah kita pelaksana kehendak Parlimen kerana institusi itu hanya ada kuasa sebagai mana yg diperuntukkan oleh Parlimen, tidak seperti sebelumnya.

Mahkamah menyengat Dr Mahathir lagi bila UMNO diharamkan pd 1987. Ura-ura yg team pro Tengku Razaleigh bakal memenangi kes di Mahkamah Agung membuatkan Dr Mahathir bertindak sepuluh langkah lebih awal, dengan memecat Tun Salleh Abas yg pada fikirannya “terlalu bebas dan berani”. Tempias konspirasi pemecatan Tun Salleh turut terkena kepada 5 Hakim yg berani dan tegas mempertahankan kebebasan badan kehakiman.

Bekas Ketua Hakim, Tun Suffian melafazkan rasa kesal dan meluahkan rasa hatinya, bahawa apa yg telah mengambil masa berdekad untuk dibina (badan kehakiman yg berintegriti) mengambil masa sekelip mata untuk diruntuhkan. Beliau juga berkata, untuk memulihkan apa yg telah diruntuhkan ini akan mengambil beberapa generasi.

Bila dikenang kembali, apa yg peliknya dgn Si Lingam? Lingam melobi hakim yg dia suka agar dijadikan Hakim Besar Malaya, dan kemudiannya Ketua Hakim Negara. Dr Mahathir pula, buang Ketua Hakim dan Hakim2 yg beliau tak suka. Pada Budak Mentah ni, sama saja.

1998, dunia gempar Dr Mahathir pecat timbalannya. Tak cukup dengan pecat, dituduh homoseksual pula, walaupun org tu dah beranak pinak.

Cela Tunku, buang hak istimewa Raja-Raja, ambil alih kuasa Agong isythihar darurat, , kurangkan kuasa mahkamah, tetapkan hakim mana yg patut duduk di mahkamah serta buang mana yg tak patut, pecat timbalan sendiri bila tergugat dan terbaru, keluar parti bila dah takde kuasa nak buat apa2. Dari tiada kuasa, kemudian ke puncak kuasa dan sesudah kembali tiada kuasa, Dr Mahathir akan buat apa sahaja untuk penuhkan kemahuannya.

Dr Mahathir kata, UMNO sekarang bukan UMNO sepertinya yg diasaskan oleh Dato Onn dulu. MEMANG LA! sbb UMNO Dato Onn, Tunku, Tun Razak dan Tun Hussien dah diharamkan pada tahun 1988. Malah Tunku dan Tun Hussien Onn tidak sertai UMNO baru yg Dr Mahathir asaskan.

Kalau Karpal derhaka sbb lawan Sultan, Dr Mahathir macam mana? Kalau Lingam menunjukkan badan kehakiman kita integritinya terjejas, siapa dalang yg memulakannya?

Aku hanya Budak Mentah…tapi tidaklah sampai BUTA sejarah. Memang dia penah terajui Malaysia dan banyak kebaikan yg dibuatnya. Tapi bila dia diagungkan bak manusia luar biasa dan tiada cacat cela, rasa geram yg telah sekian lama tersimpan dalam lubuk hati aku meronta untuk keluar, lantas memaksa jariku menaip benda yg selama ni aku tak suka nak cakap pada org. Aku lebih suka pendam fikiran aku psl politik untuk diriku sendiri, kali ini tidak lagi…PESAN AKU KAWAN2, suka pada org itu ada hadnya, gelaran melayu agung bagi aku terlalu keterlaluan.

Our Federal Constitution provides Freedom of Religion as embodied in Article 11. Thus, we hear voices from some corners which want the process of leaving Islam to be made easier-since it is believed that people are free to choose their own religion.

Those who asking for these are not Muslim, or they may be Muslim, but ignorant one. Let me stress this - the law says that you are free to profess any religion, but the law doesn’t permit you to alter the religion.

Once you are Muslim, there are rules to be followed, same like when you enter a country, there are laws to be observed. Breach the laws, and there shall be consequence (Ubi culpa est, ibi poena subesse debet- Where the crime is committed, there ought punishment to be undergone). Before professing other religion, please deal with the one which you had previously chosen to submit to.

You are free to be Muslim, no compulsion, but thinks wisely before being a Muslim as renouncing Islam might not be a choice later on. The Prophet once met a person who wish to be a Muslim and he was asking for 3 days to think and The Prophet gave 3 months to him. It shows that no compulsion and no hurry in being a Muslim. After all Hidayah is from Allah, even the Prophet couldn’t bring his beloved uncle to Islam.

But I observed that some people, shielding themselves with the universal principle of human rights try to meddle with the issue of apostasy. They urge that conversion should be allowed and be made easier, as people are free to profess any religion of their choice.

In Islam, those who are leaving the religion is an apostate. Apostasy is a great sin and a punishable offence in Islam. That is a rule, which every Muslim believes to be an integral part of the religion.

Now what I find disturbing is that people who urge that conversion should be allowed and more gruesome when they want the process to be made easier, they are not talking about personal right, they are urging for changing in a system of a religion.

Lets take a look at the special position of Islam in the Federal Constitution. Yang Dipertuan Agong is empowered to enact any law in the state of emergency (darurat) EXCEPT things which concern the religion of Islam -article 150 (6A) of Federal Constitution.Impliedly it shows that Islam has a very special position in the supreme law of the land. Even YDPA cant mess with Islam in the state of emergency, what more a layman, a non-believer who is a stranger to Islam or the one who choose to be ignorant of his own religion.

The non believers who are asking for changes as regards to the issue of conversion, I take them as strangers, who is coming to my house and try to show me how to live in my own house. Muslims who are in the same camp with those people, i rather call them ignorant believers and may Allah forgive them for their ignorance (ignorantia facti excusat- ignorance of fact is an excuse).

As I can’t ask a Hindu or Buddhist to change his rituals, I expect the same from non Muslim to respect the rule we have in Islam. This mutual respect should be observed to maintain harmonious relationship in a multi racial society. [Unto you, your religion and unto me, my religion-Al kafirun:6]

Speaker of Dewan Rakyat, Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia has shown his credibility in his early days as the speaker of the honorable Dewan.

On the first day, he seems to be tested by thunderous peculiar behaviors of the MPs. Today (5th May 08), he made an announcement that he will not entertain anyone raising Point of Order, unless it is meant to accelerate the proceeding of the honorable Dewan.

Responding to the decision, a veteran Mp and a renown lawyer, Karpal Singh try to show off by questioning the legality of such decision, as it impedes MPs from raising Point of Order (that can be expected from a lawyer).

The Answer given by the Tan Sri Speaker should hit the very conscience of Karpal. He said that Point of Order shouldn’t be used to cover up mischieves done by the MPs. He then cite a legal maxim “He who seeks equity must do equity”- an answer I wouldn’t expect from a politician, which serves Karpal right.haha
