Two well-known figure Malaysia - Mahathir Mohamad and Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat

 

Looking for ideas for the blog, found an interesting link although the story is about early 2010. So, I summarize to facilitate that all the information and should be proud of the people themselves.

Forget for a while about the difference of opinion.

Lately there are two key figures who became icons Malaysia Malaysia proud. Two figures are more or less the nation Malaysia on the world stage. They are:

1. Tun Dr. Mahathir Bin Mohamad (Mantan PM Malaysia)

Mahathir has emerged in the History of Astro channels that tells the story of his life before and after the PM of Malaysia. Among the synopsis taken from astro website is:

Mahathir:
Discover the life of Mahathir Mohamad, one of Southeast Asia´s most outspoken and controversial leaders. As Prime Minister for 22 years, he modernises Malaysia. The world´s tallest twin towers is one of his projects. Mahathir strives to modernise his country and encourage confidence and pride in his Malay race. He fearlessly lashes out at the U.S., the U.K., Australia, and anyone who dares challenge him. He makes Malaysia one of the most successful economies in the region and secures its place on the world map. But success comes at a price. Power struggles, crises, and scandals plague his career; institutions and free expression are among the victims. With the sacking and jailing of his own deputy, Anwar Ibrahim, accusations of ´dictator´ echo throughout the western media. Mahathir makes an art form out of bold outrageous statements, such as his speech asserting that "Jews rule this world by proxy", which the West condemns. But why would a man so fearless and powerful, suddenly break down in tears at the podium?

Among the unforgettable history are:

a. Sacked from UMNO by Tunku Abdul Rahman as he criticized the book "The Malay Dilemma". Re forgiven Tun Razak to raise to the minister.

b. Become PM of Malaysia in 1981, the year in which Malaysia is also acquiring petroleum favor.

d. Many have different views with others to be an issue to think / argue that many in the newspaper.

 

Hang Tuah Five Brothers

Title Posted we have heard or read since childhood. Pegged in mind this is the hero, the hero of the Malay pride for centuries. Tuah story books are thick, while studying in primary schools have also read the first (owned by my aunt, her many old books and ghost stories, Speaking with Jin, Tamar Jalis). Ancient language, it is difficult to understand.

Five Brothers Hang Tuah, the most important words are brothers, at the beginning of the story so dense ties of kinship. Stabbed right thigh, left thigh bleed. But where lost three siblings when Hang Tuah and Hang Jebat conflict? No wish to be persuaded or resolved their quarrel? Or as Hang Tuah has long worked with the ruler, the relationship became estranged because of busy work Admiral?

History has been recorded, we would not hear of any of the Malays who put the name Hang early in children's names. Before (the narrative), we only hear the Hang Tuah alone another five brothers and the famous Hang Nadim.

The process of seeking knowledge is to read. But the longer read, the more I lost faith in the existence of Hang Tuah brothers. Is it just a myth by Tun Sri Lanang? Hang Tuah who became Admiral of the Sultan nor many entries recorded in the world's top sailors. Even Ibn Batutta only stop in Pattani. Why not Malacca, Malacca is a center of trade and the spread of Islam known and famous.

For me, the old literary essays that only reflects the character or nature of the Malays at that time.

Hang Tuah - Malay nature of the characters where very submissive to authority / boss that the executions because the trial was never regretted. Such is the nature of Hang Tuah into compliance. Although sad, Tuah stabbed defending his companions also on the direction of the Sultan. After death, tears of regret. Stupid actions like that. Stupid for condemned man, if it happens nowadays. This period is still there to support this kind. What if the boss to lose power?.

Hang Jebat - characters who are loyal to the friendship. Willing to shed blood if his friend persecuted Sultan / Prime Minister. Shake the earth simply because a friend of Malacca.

Hang the other three - where the character is after a fight with Hang Tuah Hang Jebat? Maybe this is the nature of past and present era Malay, save yourself and take care of themselves. If the opponent, may lose their jobs.

In conclusion, compare the many hundreds of years ago with what is happening now. Sure it is very similar in nature. Every once in 10 years, our country will be shocked with high-level disputes. Same nature, one party against the ruler. One party supports the ruling. And although many third parties, they will each save themselves from getting involved in the conflict.

Ignore their existence, learn from history. Embrace the spirit and nature of Hang Tuah 5 sisters. Compare their properties with the nature of Malay society in this era.

p / s There is also a history of very sadden me to read. Tun Teja fiancee people are ready to run by Hang Tuah merely desires Sultan. But raging prince, Megat Panji Alam Terengganu, was killed by Hang Jebat and Hang Kasturi. Who does not get angry if someone else run his own fiancee.

Why Do Women Cry?

A little boy asked his mother, “Why are you crying?”

“Because I need to” she said.

“I don’t understand,” he said.

His mother just hugged him and said, “And you never will.”

Later the little boy asked his father, “Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?”

“All women cry for no reason,” his dad answered carelessly.

The little boy, still wondering why women cry, finally asked the old wise shaikh (scholar). “He surely knows the answer”, he thought.

“Ya Shaikh! Why do women cry so easily?”

The Shaikh answered:

“When Allah made the woman she had to be special.

He made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort.

He gave an inner strength to endure both childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children.

He gave her a toughness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining.

He gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child hurts her badly.

He gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.

He gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfaltering.

And lastly, He gave her a tear. This is hers and only hers exclusively to use whenever she needs it. She needs no reason, no explanation, it’s hers.

You see my son, the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the beauty of her face, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart – the place where love resides.”

Gebeng plant a ‘time bomb’, say NGOs

By Shannon Teoh

March 19, 2011

KUALA LUMPUR, March 20 — Environmental groups renewed calls this week to stop work on the RM700 million rare earth plant in Gebeng, Kuantan.

Against the backdrop of the on-going nuclear plant crisis in Japan which was triggered by the huge earthquake last week, the NGOs said that the refinery will generate radioactive waste that “brings back memories of Bukit Merah,” where a rare earth plant set up in the 1980s has been linked to at least eight leukaemia cases, seven resulting in death.

“As we are observing now in Japan, the waste is a sitting time bomb,” said Environmental Protection Society of Malaysia (EPSM) president Nithi Nesadurai.

Local residents who formed Kuantan Environmental Watch Group (KEWG), an umbrella body for community stakeholders in the Pahang capital, have begun distributing articles and pictures of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant as a warning to fellow residents of the possible disaster.

“If Japan, which is known for its safety record and technology, can’t avert disaster, how about us with our inexperience?” spokesman Jonathan Wong said.

The massive earthquake in Japan last Friday and the resulting explosions at nuclear power plants have fuelled fears about the plant in Malaysia’s east coast which faces the Pacific Rim’s ring of fire.

The 9.0-magnitude earthquake sent a 10-metre-high tsunami surging into cities and villages, sweeping away everything in its path.

Australian mining company Lynas Corporation has insisted that the rare earth ore to be refined in Gebeng has only two per cent of the radioactive element thorium that was present in the raw material used in Bukit Merah.

The Bukit Merah plant, set up in 1985, was also subject to sustained protests by local residents. It is still undergoing a massive cleanup operation that will cost RM300 million, nearly two decades after the plant was shut down.

But Lynas has already begun construction of the rare earth refinery in Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s home state of Pahang where the opposition Pakatan Rakyat (PR) is planning to drum up the issue ahead of a general election expected to take place within the year.

Lynas expects to begin refining the rare earth metals, used in such high-technology products as smartphones, hybrid cars and even bombs, by the end of next year in an operation that may be worth over RM5 billion in the first year, increasing to RM8 billion in the next.

Last week, Lynas told The Malaysian Insider that it is planning to reprocess the waste into a cement mixture for road-building with approved levels of thorium, although it has not finalised details.

However, the environmentalists contacted were unanimous in their demand that work be halted until all issues had been addressed, expressing a lack of confidence that the government would have the political will to withhold approval should the plant not meet safety standards.

“After Lynas has spent RM700 million to build the plant, is the government really going to say no? We are very cautious of any assurance being given as we’re heard it all before when the Asian Rare Earth plant was being built in Bukit Merah,” Nithi said.

“We have heard no solution at all to dealing with the waste. We want to know what it is before Lynas starts operations, not just assurances that they will manage it,” Wong, a founding member of KEWG, told The Malaysian Insider.

He claimed that since the project was first mooted in 2007, Lynas has only met the residents once in late 2008 and did not respond at all to the question of waste disposal.

Malaysian Nature Society communications head Andrew Sebastian said it had sent Lynas a letter expressing its concerns and questions after the 2008 meeting.

“Our only comment is that we received no answer and we continue to have the same doubts,” he said, referring to various concerns including waste disposal and radiation released in the refining process.

Dr Jayabalan A. Thambyappa, who treated radiation victims linked to the Bukit Merah rare earth plant, also said that the public briefing did not address waste disposal.

The toxicologist told The Malaysian Insider that NGOs such as the Consumer Association of Penang and Sahabat Alam Malaysia, of which he is a member, have and will continue to oppose to refinery.

Sea & Sand

Sand is robust even crashed the ocean. Storms and monsoon is desperate to force the ocean away from the sand. Then move the ocean by the sand storm slammed by the waves while others from all corners of the world's reefs and the gap until it changes all the circumstances. The sea was eager to see just a graceful sand ridge dotted with beautiful natural creation of God. Leaves decorated coconuts are always waving. Could undermine the rigid sand. State of the sea forced to leave the friends are important to him. Sad and lonely sea and the island even though the ship to create a great and intelligent invention. But if everything has been poured, nothing could threaten the integrity of the sea. As time ... ask the sea itself, Meet me back to the sand I know first? ... Is there any hope for the joke at the beach with sand?

During which the sand is strong? For as long as he was faithful to wait? While it's always different every time the next new wave. The first wave only looks forward to a meeting with a ridge of sand that is always at the edge of the water. But the waves are always moving away from the sand, could be back ... .. Although forced to leave a ridge of sand sea but remain fertile mind all memory of previous meetings. Despite the quiet melancholy even, but with the introduction of a new ship and the island may be able to forget the sorrow and grief in self. Why does the sea have to ask that when it is constantly moving, but the sand just waiting to move. Why does the sea have to ask, however, forgotten about the sea to the conditions and destiny of the Almighty God.

Large errors of the sea with trivial questions? Big mistake to ask the sea so only out of fear, fear and anything that is worried about what had happened, will happen again! What is the sea itself has been lost rationality of thought that concern over this really be written in his diary entry? Life friends?! Friends sea is always wise to take the sea hearts, but what good is it when things feared was true is written! Is the sea a hundred percent responsible for what happened.

Sea admits guilt as impatient to make the ridges of sand that is too foreign to himself. What could palpitations than storms and hurricanes in the middle of the ocean. Many challenges and dangers await in the middle of the ocean distant spread, but what has been done by the sea? Squid crabs were stunned by the sea confidentnya even the tie, why so confident, had known whether it is with his new friends, and almost leaving time for old friends. The sea seems so complacent with a long history of his life. Sea should be aware he is break the ice so it should be concerned with the current strength of the rope was tied. Unless someone wants to tie it then maybe the bond will be strong! Sea have been complacent about it! Which may be stronger if the foam strap. Sea should immediately rise from his sleep by the same three stories have been repeated with the start of the sea break the ice. What after this it should wait for others who came before tying? Or start, like the old stories. Time and circumstances will be a witness!

Why are old friends so casually in his introduction does not like his friends and colleagues. What important new friend to her? And what an important companion in arms to him? What interests one and both of them? Which is more important, any less important, where some important, significant and where the tribe is more important when the next good mood? Are companion in arms is more important at the time, or new friends. Only sand can answer! But what about the importance of a new companion in arms and against his will?! Is the sand so there is still injured, maybe not in the interest of equal division to either arms or new friends! It is possible that the sand did not realize this inequality. Realize a portion of sand from either a new companion in arms or willing to do anything to gladden the heart of nature itself? The answer is yes or no If not, why not get it at all?

Consciously or not, brave or not, like it or not, the sea must conform to add face book letter should be immediately closed and the archaeological materials without review by any historian, even! So useful has the book, the measure itself!

After the hidden story of the very sustainable but is there a new book should be opened immediately or wait for some time or may reopen what has been suppressed. Many possibilities that can be debated, questioned! If a new book written story of what? Is the new book old book is still a connection to the old, fill the same and the same story? Sea to reflect the remote! If there is still a long book seems to sea once more complacent with the position of the sand. Abstinence stance stepped sand, all things have not happened not to be questioned. But the forgotten sand every man have a dream in his life. So what happens if people do not achieve dreams! Happy, sad, or no sense of it?

Sea friends tried to take heart again, saying that the ever-changing sea of sand still not stiff. Forgotten his loyal sea when we should pause until stiff, according to whatever the situation around! Where stand the sand? If frozen, should continue to stiff? While iron is hidden in the bowels of the earth has been moved on the earth, fly freely in space! Mind the greatest gift of God's creation! So we have to wise use of it.

After all the efforts, dreams of the sea breeze blow should be returned to the home and in the waves and storms which had been resisted before. Indeed, the ocean, so wounded heart because it still was not able to have a bay that provides the beach, waves, trees and places to stay throughout life. I do not know what is made by the sea as it proved to be captivating sand because it still has not changed despite years of patiently waiting for the sea. Maybe not the dream of living sea of sand would have preferred a more impressive and elegant as sand definitely be the focus over the world to be kidding, and retreats.

Although what happens fixed ocean sea and personality change is not possible because it is the creation of the Most Just. There must be some lessons to teach to the sea of humanity as previously complacent is it! Sea should look to the future!

Sea forgive if the story in the book have been hurt anyone intentionally or not, whether sand, friends, sea, waves, storms, crabs, squid, hills and anything that a major or minor character in this story. Marine admits guilt either minor or major offenses and penalties available for violations of humanitarian receive. Thank you for wanting accompanying sea sand although only briefly and have not been able to hang just like the others. Just not sure whether the sand sad, happy or not there is any with the end of the story.

In fact the sea can guess that he already knew the answer because the sea had the opportunity to connect to the new episodes. But what sand is sand which answers more to know and understand what he gave his own answer. And the sea can be quite what the views and stand against him all this sand. Will it be the cause of the men `history` right book at the proud, the sea should think. Marine or not, should meditate even for a moment. By its own future is still far away and many stories will happen, must ... ..!!!
