Sabera Shaik....teaching the Orang Asli English.
With thanks to Shanghai Fish
WEDNESDAY, JULY 16, 2014
Another brick in the wall....
While most would like to laze and roll on the comfortable beds till late on a Sunday morning or wake up to go out shopping, one lady wakes up early, bakes or buys a cake and packs some soft drinks and heads East from the city, to the hills of Janda Baik to an Orang Asli settlement to teach English to a small group of school going kids of various ages.
I had the privilege to witness her in "action" last Sunday as "teacher" Sabera Shaik, a renowned stage actress and a Puan Sri to boot too, taught English to eager kids and their thirst for knowledge in communication. A language which has been given little prominence by the government of the day and a language that has been forsaken by many in Malaysia due to the empty nationalistic pride portrayed by moronic politicians on both sides of the divide.
It was indeed a warm sight to see the many eager hands shooting up to every question teacher Sabera asked of her young charges, most who did not know the answer but attempted anyway as she rewarded them with prizes of English reading books and pens to those who might give the correct answer.
People like Sabera know the importance of the internationally used English language and her tireless efforts to reach out, educated and equip these real "children-of-the-soil" with the all important tool in communication is highly commendable.
This genuine vocation to spend precious time with the less fortunate by one so rich and famous sure has my admiration as a person.
And that is Sabera Shaik.
Read more about this splendid lady here.

Aisehman...give Najib a break lah!
steadyaku47 comment:
There may be some of you that questions the need of that space between Najib and the next person praying beside him...I can only speak from personal experience.. No not as a Prime Minister...jauh sekali...but as some one who needs that space between me and the next guy praying beside me.
I have never been a regular prayer guy...even Friday prayers are rare occurrences when I was in KL...so when I pray it is physical exercises that requires an effort - especially when I 'sujud' and and then rise to a sitting position...if I do not have enough space between the guy next to me, I will create physical havoc on his feet or toes.
Maybe Najib has the same problem...not too much practise and he is generously proportioned...and those next to him do not want to get crush in the process...so wisely they give him room.
And please do not pass judgement on me because of what I do or do not do....I am already 67 .....let them deal with me when my time comes...whether it is heaven or hell.
Face the Qiblah (toward Mecca), and make sure you’re in a clean area, now you are about to start one of the following prayers: 1stprayer (Subh), 2nd prayer (Dhuhr), 3rd (Asr), 4th (Maghrib), 5th (Ishaa).
| |
Standing, you will start the prayer raising both hands up close to your ears and say "Allahu Akbar" (God is Most Great). (Look at the picture on the side).
|  |
Then put one hand on the top of the other hand between your chest and upper stomach, and start reciting surat “al fatiha”, say “ameen” once you finish it, and then start reciting another small surat (check here to find out more about “al fatiha” and the other “surats”).
|  |
Once you finish reciting raise your hands up to the ears, saying "Allahu Akbar." Bow (your hands on your knees, back straight, your face toward the ground, saying three times, "Subhana rabbiyal adheem" (Glory be to my Lord Almighty). This position is called (ruku’). See photo.
|  |
Rise back to standing while saying "Sami’a Allahu liman hamidah, Rabbana wa lakal hamd" (God hears those who call upon Him; Our Lord, praise be to You).
|  |
Raise hands up, saying "Allahu Akbar" then descend to the ground (see photo), while your face on the ground say three times "Subhana Rabbiyal A'ala" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High). This position is called “sujud”
|  |
Rise to a sitting position (see picture), saying "Allahu Akbar."
|  |
Then prostrate back on the ground (this is the second time you do it), while your face on the ground say three times "Subhana Rabbiyal A'ala"

Accidents too can be be made into a racial incident?
As a Warga Mas myself...Kudos to the old man for upholding the good name of other Warga Mas.
Now everything that happens to us can be made into a "racial " thing.
Many of you are looking at the incident as being one where an old Chinese man had an accident with a young Muslim women wearing a tudung....and the Malay girl thinks that she can get sympathy from others around her by playing up the race angle.,,,and if the accident happened during Ramadan there will be enough people out there questioning if Ramadan does any good if there are Muslim girls behaving this way...and the list goes on.
Why don't we all see if for what it really is....a minor accident between an over excited young lady and a cool old man who has seen enough of life to know how to handle the situation.
I am sure after all is said and done the two of them will get together. The girl will apologize for losing her cool and the old man, if he is at fault, will pay for the damage. Habis cerita.
P.S...and please stop these kind of posting ...because it does not help anybody...least of all your father:..if that really was your father that was involved in the accident.
And for those who do want to add their 5 cents worth to this incident I suggest you think before you post...as the comment below can be construed to be of the sexual kind....
IDRIS syiok sendiri again? Thinks he is Ketua Ugama in Selangor!
7:31PM - 15 Jul 2014
Sultan S'gor: Khalid Samad biadap pada beta
Sultan Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah amat kesal dan kecewa dengan kenyataan ahli parlimen PAS Khalid Samad yang mencadangkan kerajaan Selangor menghapuskan kuasa eksekutif Majlis Agama Islam Selangor (MAIS).
Menurut baginda, tindakan Khalid mempersoalkan kuasa MAIS itu seolah-olah menunjukkan sikap biadab dan penentangannya kepada kuasa baginda sebagai ketua agama Islam yang mendapat nasihat MAIS berkenaan agama Islam seperti mana termaktub dalam bawah undang-undang, laporan Utusan Online.
Baginda dilaporkan bertitah, ini bukan kali pertama Khalid (kanan) mempersoalkan isu berkaitan kuasa eksekutif MAIS serta Enakmen Pentadbiran Agama Islam Selangor yang dianggapnya lapuk.
"Keyataan Khalid itu ternyata menunjukkan beliau jahil tentang peranan MAIS yang diwujudkan oleh Undang-Undang Tubuh Kerajaan Selangor sebagai penasihat dan membantu beta dalam menjalankan kuasa beta sebagai ketua agama Islam di Selangor," baginda dilaporkan sebagai bertitah.
Utusan melaporkan, baginda sebagai bertitah demikian pada majlis perasmian masjid pekan Sepang.
Menteri Besar Selangor Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim dilaporkan turut menghadiri majlis itu.
Pada 17 Jun lalu, Khalid Samad serta beberapa pemimpin PAS Selangor dilaporkan mendesak MAIS tidak lagi diberi kuasa menjaga kedaulatan agama Islam di negeri itu dengan meminda enakmen yang selama ini memberi tanggungjawab kepada badan agama berkenaan.

There he goes again thinking he is God's gift to Islam and to the Rakyat in Selangor......this is the same Idris guy who is screwing around outside the bonds of marriage - strictly a no-no in the Islam he is ketua of. Idris if what Khalid is doing show that he is "sikap biadap" then what about what you are doing and have been doing all these years? Where does Islam allows you to fornicate outside marriage?
And what about that son of yours? Does not what he does outside Selangor - in London to be exact - within the bonds of Islam? How the fuck can you even think that you are the Ketua of Islam in Selangor when you cannot even teach your own son how to behave like a good Muslim should...and this is the son who is going to be the next Ketua of Islam in Selangor!
And what has MAIS been doing in Selangor? MAIS thinks that seizing Bibles containing the word "ALLAH" is its duty to Islam...woi Mat Adzib Isa( Chairman of MAIS) why do you not go put your MAIS house in order first...go see if your Ketua...that Idris guy...deserves to be your Ketua....and once you have put your house in order you better listen to what the people who pay your salary wants you to do.

Rosmah's ex-confidante Deepak owes Bank Rakyat RM215 million not RM32 million...
With thanks to Tumpang Sekole
Ketua Penerangan PAS Pusat, Datuk Mahfuz Omar menyerahkan satu memorandum kepada Pengarah Urusan Bank Rakyat, Datuk Mustafha Abd Razak bagi meminta penjelasan berhubung dengan baki pinjaman RM32 juta membabitkan ahli perniagaan Deepak Jaikisnan.
Memorandum tersebut diterima Naib Presiden Kanan, Pemasaran dan Komukasi, Saliman Zainal di lobi Ibu Pejabat Bank Rakyat di sini hari ini.
Jelas Mahfuz, tindakan memberikan keistimewaan kepada seorang individu ingkar untuk ditangguhkan dari diambil sebarang tindakan undang-undang dan diberikan tempoh sepuluh tahun bagi menyelesaikan baki hutang adalah satu tindakan yang tidak bertanggungjawab dan melanggar amalan perbankan yang pruden dan telus.
"Saya tidak nampak bagaimana arahan supaya Bank Rakyat memberikan keistimewaan kepada peminjam ingkar seperti Deepak dapat melindungi kepentingan Bank Rakyat dan ahli-ahlinya.
"Saya dimaklumkan bahawa bukan hanya pinjaman berjangka berbaki RM32 juta itu sahaja yang diberikan keistimewaan kepada Deepak melalui syarikat miliknya Carpet Tile Sdn Bhd.
"Bahkan terdapat dua lagi pembiayaan yang diberikan iaitu pinjaman sebanyak RM798 juta diberikan kepada syarikat pemaju hartanah Radiant Splendour Sdb Bhd dan juga RM40 juta kepada Deepak sendiri.
"Berdasarkan siasatan baki keseluruhan kedua-dua pinjaman tersebut perlu dibayar berserta baki RM32 juta adalah sekitar RM215 juta," jelasnya pada sidang media di lobi Bank Rakyat.
Ahli Parlimen Pokok Sena itu turut meminta agar Bank Rakyat tampil membuat penjelasan segera bagi mengelakkan timbul pelbagai spekulasi serta mengembalikan keyakinan pelabur.
"Kita tuntut penjelasan adakah pembayaran balik baki pinjaman sebanyak RM32 juta itu turut meliputi jumlah denda lewat yang sepatutnya dikenakan ke atas peminjam berdasarkan perjanjian.
"Jika tidak, kita ingin tahu apakah alasan Bank Rakyat tidak mengenakannya, berapa kerugian yang bakal dialami atas sebab tidak mengenakan bayaran denda lewat dan adakah Lembaga Pengarah memberi kelulusan tersebut," soal beliau.
Dalam pada itu, beliau turut menggesa agar Bank Rakyat menjelaskan adakah sebarang tindakan akan diambil jika peminjam masih gagal menatuhi syarat pembayaran yang diperbaharui.
"Kita juga ingin tahu bentuk sekuriti atau cagaran yang dikenakan ke atas peminjam, apakah cara penyelesaian bagi baki ke semua pinjaman Deepak.
"Apakat tindakan selanjutnya yang diambil pihak bank untuk mendapatkan kembali baki pinjaman yang tertunggak bagi ketiga-tiga pinjaman ini," sambung beliau lagi.
Mahfuz berharap pihak bank akan memberi maklum balas seberapa segera mengenai persoalan yang ditimbulkan dan beliau akan meneliti penjelasan tersebut bagi memelihara kepentingan penyimpan-penyimpan di bank tersebut yang kebanyakan mereka dari golongan bumiputra. - harakahdaily
PAS information chief Mahfuz Omar claimed today that Deepak has failed to settle all three of the loans in question, leading to a settlement agreement with the bank.
“This raises even more questions about the special treatment that the bank has given to Deepak as the outstanding amount is even bigger at RM215 million,” Mahfuz said, basing it on his own research.
Mahfuz was speaking to reporters after handing over a memorandum demanding answers and transparency from Bank Rakyat over the Deepak loans at the bank’s headquarters in Kuala Lumpur today.
Mahfuz pointed out while the RM32 million outstanding loan was under the name of Deepak-owned Carpet Tile Sdn Bhd, another RM198 million was given to Radiant Splendour Sdn Bhd, a property developer company linked to Deepak, and another RM40 million was personally given to Deepak.
The outstanding amount from the three loans have been restructured by the bank for an amount of RM215 million, Mahfuz said.
“What is the next step that Bank Rakyat is taking to recollect all the outstanding debts for these three loans?” Mahfuz asked in his three-page memorandum to the bank.
The memorandum was addressed to the bank's managing director Mustafha Abd Razak, and was collected on Mustafha's behalf by Saliman Zainal, the bank's marketing and communications division vice-president.
Deputy Finance Minister Ahmad Maslan had previously denied that the government ordered Bank Rakyat to sanction an interest-free RM40 million loan for Deepak.
The carpet trader has been long embroiled in controversy due to his close ties to prime minister's wife Rosmah Mansor, and also his involvement in the affair involving Mongolian model Altantuya Sharriibu, who was subsequently murdered.Malaysiakini has made several attempts to contact Deepak for his response but has been unsuccessful.- mk

Rosmah's ex-confidante Deepak owes Bank Rakyat RM215 million not RM32 million...
Carpet trader Deepak Jaikishan’s loan with Bank Rakyat is not limited to a purported RM32 million loan that recently became a subject of controversy, but instead he has two more loans totalling RM215 million.
PAS information chief Mahfuz Omar claimed today that Deepak has failed to settle all three of the loans in question, leading to a settlement agreement with the bank.
“This raises even more questions about the special treatment that the bank has given to Deepak as the outstanding amount is even bigger at RM215 million,” Mahfuz said, basing it on his own research.

cakap cakap...when I close my front door, nothing disturbs me.
Early Sunday morning…the air outside is cool and crisp…Fitzroy, where I am now, is stirring…the Trams are already ferrying people here and there…cars are quietly respectful of this day of rest….and all is quiet in our apartment….my son in his room and my wife still asleep in our bed beside me.
My sleep has been somewhat troubled thinking of the killings going on in Gaza….man inhumanities against each other knows no bound….we have seen it all before and yet we are troubled. We are our brother keepers and when our brother suffer so do we. I made myself view the atrocities committed by soldiers of Israel upon the Palestinians children and women and it is all I could do not to cry. I also question the rationality of Palestinians fighting against overwhelming odds….but as you and I know, for evil to triumph all it takes is for good men to do nothing....and so the Palestinians fight!
I am fortunate. When I close my front door nothing disturbs me. The only connection to the outside world is the intercom…a mechanical device that I have full control over
I can dismiss any interruptions from the intercom if I so desire…and my land line and mobile I can set to mute. I power my PC on or off as I please. And today, like most of my days, are days to do as I please, go where I please and make of it what I please.
I can dismiss any interruptions from the intercom if I so desire…and my land line and mobile I can set to mute. I power my PC on or off as I please. And today, like most of my days, are days to do as I please, go where I please and make of it what I please.
At 67 this is how I have imagined my life to be from the time I could think. I want to be with the people I love, have enough of everything that I need to keep body and soul together and I want to live life in splendid isolation from everything else but that which I will allow into my life.
And yet I am troubled by what is happening in Gaza and elsewhere. The political situation in Malaysia is worrying and more often than I wish for, I think of my daughter and her family in Canada, over 16,000 kms away....especially my grand daughters Isabel and Sofie.
My Mac speed is slow because it does not have enough Memory and when I have too many windows open, it slows everything down and makes me irritable. My dryer stopped working yesterday and I still have not decided what we will have for lunch…though I have got lamb, fish and a frozen Apricot Chicken dish defrosting in the fridge….so I do have issues but all manageable and all self inflicted because what is life without a little strife.
And as physically isolated as I am in my own comfort zone, I allow my mind to wander wherever it wants to go. I know this week it wants to be in Gaza. I do not pretend to understand what the Palestinians are going through nor will I understand what drives them to go against the overwhelming might of Israel….but to see powerful nations do nothing to stop the carnage and murder of women, children and old men is proof positive that politics not humanity, rules the world.
I can close my front door and be away from such crass self-serving so called world leaders and their self preservation antics…but my mind still can wander and ponder the ramification of a world where the innocents bear the brunt of a world gone mad with race, religion and the mantra of what I want rather than what I need!
Such is life for me this Sunday morning....and I have still to have breakfast!
