SO... WHAT'S UP?

It has been a while since my last posting. Many developments had taken place since. For example, I was involved in the recent UMNO election where I contested for a place in Seremban UMNO comitee seat as well as for a ticket as a delegate to Perhimpunan Agng UMNO next November. I succeeded on both counts.

For record purposes, this is the third time I am holding a divisional post. First, back in 1999, i sat as a comitee member for Seremban UMNO Youth. Second, I was appointed as Division UMNO Youth Secretary in 2008. Unfortunately my reign as Youth Secretary was prematurely cut short as my service was terminated due to my refusal to condone to disrespectful and idiotic actions by the then Youth Chief.

In the recent UMNO electon, both the then Youth Chief and I offered ourselves as candidates. He registered his bid for Vice Chief post while I humbly registered for a Division comitee post. How did we both fare in the contest? Like I said earlier , I appeared as victor while he lost to the incumbent, Dato’ Hj Zakaria. He alleged that his defeat was due to sabotage acts of his own followers. In my humble view his allegation was a mere lame excuse of a sore loser. I verily believe the delegates had applied good judgments in selecting the right candidates. 

One more thing I feel worth to mention. In the contest for Divisional top post YB Hj Abu Ubaidah  succeeded as a victor, sidelining YB Dato’ Ishak by difference of 40 votes. I felt a little awkward learning this new turn of event because when I first joined UMNO back in 1993 YB Dato’ Ishak was already holding the Divisional top post and held the post for 25 long years. In fact,Seremban UMNO had grown synanimous to his name and reputation. He survived several attempts to wrestle the post from him during those long years until recently he lost the post to YB Hj Abu Ubaidah.

In the past, I admittedly say I had few disagreements in opinion and in principle with YB Dato Ishak but those disagreements never make me loose my respect to him as an UMNO leader.My view might be different than those of the delegates’. I still think YB Dato’ Ishak is still relevant and his stewardship is still very much needed to gear Seremban UMNO/BN up to face the challenges and to win during the Four-teenth (14)General Election. 

However, my frank thoughts are not shared by other delegates. They wanted change even though it meant changing only the Chief*. Now, a new face is at the helm of Seremban UMNO. Due time and opportunity, perhaps, should be given to him to prove himself worthy for UMNO Seremban’s stewardship. To all victors in the recent UMNO election would like to extend my heartiest congratulations and best wishes to you all and hope that UMNO shall become stronger with your contributions and support. To those who did not win, this is not the end and truly there are al ways ways that you may contribute in view of strengthening UMNO for Fourteenth General Election.

 (* Note: Most of YB Dato Ishak’s commitee lineup were elected or re-elected)

Tugu Peringatan Sg Lui?

Setelah melepaskan penat lelah di Kuala Terengganu akibat kesesakan melampau di Kelantan, aku meneruskan perjalanan pulang ke Seremban. Nak ikut jalan pantai rasanya jauh , jadi aku buat keputusan ikut jalan Kuala Behrang-Bukit Besi – Bukit Sagu dan masuk ikut lebuhraya LPT melalui tol Kuantan. Memandu atas lebuhraya LPT (Lebuh Raya Pantai Timur) cepat membuatkan mata aku mengantuk. Ye- lah , dah makan Nasi Berlauk Ikan Tongkol untuk sarapan, mananya tak cepat mengantuk. Terus aku buat keputusan keluar ikut jalan Temerloh-Kemayan- Jempol –Kuala Pilah untuk kembali ke Seremban. Mungkin dengan menggunakan jalan tersebut,kadar waspada (alertness) dalam pemanduan akan terus dapat dikekalkan. 25 kilometer lagi nak sampai ke Bandar Sri Jempol, aku terperasan satu binaan ditepi jalan. Sebelum itu memang ada papan tanda menyatakan Tugu Peringatan Sungai Lui. Aku pernah beberapa kali lalu melewati binaan tersebut bila aku ada kes di Mahkamah Tinggi Temerloh dan setiap kali lalu, aku sering t

KETUANAN MELAYU DI NEGARA INI HENDAK DITAMATKAN?

Image
Baru-baru ini YB Menteri Belia dan Sukan telah mengeluarkan suatu kenyataan yang kontroversi dan telah menyentuh sensitiviti ramai orang Melayu di negara ini. Beliau mengatakan bahawa Kerajaan PH akan menamatkan era Ketuanan Melayu dan memulakan era kesaksamaan . Menteri Belia dan Sukan seharusnya berhati-hati dalam mengeluarkan kenyataan kerana apa yang keluar dari mulut Menteri,rakyat berhak menganggapnya sebagai dasar kerajaan PH yang diwakili beliau! Ramai yang berpandangan bahawa Menteri Belia ini masih muda dan tindakannya umpama “kambing” yang baru tanggal gigi susu! Ramai turut berpandangan beliau sendiri tidak memahami isi apa yang diperkatakan. Tetapi apa yang lebih memeranjatkan, ada juga bekas pemimpin seperti TS Rafidah Aziz yang mengeluarkan kenyataan yang hampir serupa iaitu “menukarkan ketuanan Melayu dengan ketuanan Malaysia ”.   Sekian lamanya menjadi Menteri dan memimpin pergerakan sayap wanita UMNO tetapi masih lagi dia tidak memahami

Masjid Kg Ulu, Melaka Tengah,Melaka 1728: Aku pernah berucap di dalamnya!

1. Pernahkah anda semua sampai,bersolat atau menziarahi Masjid Kampung Ulu, Melaka Tengah Melaka? Mungkin ini persoalan yang biasa bagi anda semua. Namun bagi aku berpeluang berada di sana dan juga di beri perhormatan untuk berucap ditengah-tengah Masjid itu adalah suatu pengalaman yang besar bagi diri aku sebagai seorang Melayu yang beragama Islam dan tidak akan aku lupakan hingga akhir hayat. 2. Apa istimewanya Masjid ini? Jikalau kita tidak mahu belajar sejarah kita tidak akan jumpa keistimewaannya. Sebagai pembuka coretan kata perlu aku maklumkan bahawa Masjid Kg Ulu, Melaka ini adalah Masjid yang tertua terbina di Malaysia dan masih berfungsi hingga ini. 3. Jika diikutkan sejarah, semasa zaman Kesultanan Melayu Melaka ada sebuah masjid di bina di mana dipercayai lokasi pembinaannya adalah kawasan bersetentang dengan bangunan Stadhuys (Bangunan Pentadbiran Penjajah Belanda kini dicat merah jambu). Namun semasa tentera Portugis menakluk Melaka pada 24 Ogos 1511, tentera Portugis te
