FOI Act for Malaysia (or at least, Kelantan)?

On another note, this latest piece of news is very interesting. Let's see what June shall bring to the rakyat of Kelantan.

You also ah?

Since I'm finally on a roll (per return of creative capacities), I shall continue on with another issue.
This being the first few posts from a foreign land (perh), no hard issues will be tackled initially.
One needs to be totally immersed in something before being able to give one's feedback about it
(or, as myspace teaches us: 'you must be a someone's friend to make comments about them'. Thanks John Mayer!).

Also because it seems that everyone(else except the gang at the Frank Tate Musolla/Surau/Prayer room of course, hehe)'s heads are still buzzing from the abundance of free alcohol that is O-Week , impaired by the limited view of beer goggles to be able to talk about anything more substantial than when's the next free party's coming ("what? VSU? Well, I think that the goverment's made a horriss that a free barbie next to that poster of Peter Costello?"). I'm muslim so I don't drink, so thankfully I'm spared that.

Anyway, a bit of generalising sidetracking there, the real thing I wanted to write about was the number of people from Taylors College Subang Jaya here. This bit of information is really not that interesting, come to think of it (except perhaps for some marketing people), when the number of people from Taylors College is compared to the students from Trinity College, or St Alban's or whatever. Statically unastounding, but it does create the illusion that you already know a lot of people here. Which helps a lot because you don't actually know that many people.

Except Malaysian scholarship students. They already know a lot of people, and they know them very well.

Joke, joke.

Apparently, I'm no longer stuck at home bored. Now I'm stuck at home bored in Australia. wooo.

That sounds so ungrateful, doesn't it. I am in fact thankful to god and then my parents for being given the chance to study here. However 'study' seems to mean different things to different people (or courses).

A student doing medicine has 23 contact hours per week. That's roughly 5 straight days of 9 to 5s of lectures, tutorials, and practicals.

I have 12 hours per week. I have, on average, 2 classes a day, and I end roughly by 12 pm daily.

Of course, commerce being commerce, I'm sure later on the piles of 'things to read', 'stuff to complete', and 'stuff to complete now' will make the (currently) seemingly undemanding schedule heaven-sent, at which time, I will have to thank god again for not making me a medical student with 23 contact hours a week.

Meanwhile, I have plenty of recipes to try out. And a purple cabbage to solve.

Sebarang komen berkenaan ulama' umpama meniti jambatan yang rapuh. Terlampau mudah untuk pandangan ikhlas seseorang disalahertikan menjadi kritikan terhadap institusi mulia ini. Jadi, boleh bayangkan bagaimana gembiranya saya tatkala menatap artikel terbaru dari Harakahdaily ini, "Keengganan Ulamak Turun Padang Rosakkan Umat Islam", di mana seorang Ulama' sendiri menyuarakan secara terang-terangan sebuah pandangan yang terbungkam sulit di dalam dada ramai.

Petikan:

"Ulamak masa kini ada yang selesa dengan harta dan rumah besar. Mereka seolah-olah bukan cendiakiawan Islam yang bertanggungjawab memelihara Islam agar cemerlang bahkan kadang-kadang boleh merosakan masa depan Islam," ujarnya.

"Berceramah memang penting tapi buat kerja dekat masyarakat sama walaupun terpaksa masuk disko, pub atau pusat membeli belah. Baru ada cabaran," tegasnya

Diri yang jahil ini ingin mencadangkan, bukan setakat disko pub saja ustaz, tapi bus stop, bank, universiti,mahkamah, kilang, studio, panggung wayang semua masuk. Situasi kini begitu memerlukan kepada ilmu Islam tulen. Kini, segala-galanya perlu peringatan.
