Oleh kerana permintaan my blog follower "SUNDAY" supaya saya tulis pasal Bola....entry ini khas untuknya.
Semalam i gi tengok bola kelantan lawan n9. I tidak beli tiket last minute rasa nak gi tengok. Maklum i di lahir dan dibesarkan di kelantan walaupun ibubapa orgh perak. I anggap diri i anak kelate wpun keluargaku adalah org perak. So i contact my fren di KBS, dia ajak sebagai jemputan VVIP dok dalam VIP box, glass room behind VIP seats. Of course very exclusive with food and drinks. Dalam room tuu ramai penyokong N9 but i tak kisah, i pakai muffler written "The Red Warriors". First half i tak keluar drp bilik ke open air and kelantan was trailing behind 1-0. Somebody said...dato' pergi laa luar sokong kelantan mesti menang/ So i keluar ajer second half...wow game changed.....kelantan won 2-1. Sorakan dan riuh rendah serta percikan bunga api dan letupan mercun, aduhhh rasa mcm di Spain - Watching real madrid lwn Barcelona. According to Mingguan Malaysia:
" Malah Wira Merah mengakhiri penantian yang sekian lama selepas dihampakan dalam perlawanan akhir 1955, 1970 dan tahun lalu sekali gus mengekori Perak, Selangor, Pulau Pinang, Pahang, Johor, Kuala Lumpur, Kedah, Terengganu, Perlis dan Negeri Sembilan sebagai 11 negeri pemilik Piala Malaysia sejak 1967".
Untuk peminat gila bolasepak atau football di UK dan soccer di US...sedikit sejarah mengenai asal usual bolasepak.
The modern rules of football are based on the mid-19th century efforts to standardise the widely varying forms of football played at the public schools of England. The history of football in England dates back to at least the Middle Ages.
The Cambridge Rules, first drawn up at Cambridge University in 1848, were particularly influential in the development of subsequent codes, including association football. The Cambridge Rules were written at Trinity College, Cambridge, at a meeting attended by representatives from Eton, Harrow, Rugby, Winchester and Shrewsbury schools. They were not universally adopted. During the 1850s, many clubs unconnected to schools or universities were formed throughout the English-speaking world, to play various forms of football. Some came up with their own distinct codes of rules, most notably the Sheffield Football Club, formed by former public school pupils in 1857, which led to formation of a Sheffield FA in 1867. In 1862, John Charles Thring of Uppingham School also devised an influential set of rules.
These ongoing efforts contributed to the formation of The Football Association (The FA) in 1863, which first met on the morning of 26 October 1863 at the Freemasons' Tavern in Great Queen Street, London. The only school to be represented on this occasion was Charterhouse. The Freemason's Tavern was the setting for five more meetings between October and December, which eventually produced the first comprehensive set of rules. At the final meeting, the first FA treasurer, the representative from Blackheath, withdrew his club from the FA over the removal of two draft rules at the previous meeting: the first allowed for running with the ball in hand; the second for obstructing such a run by hacking (kicking an opponent in the shins), tripping and holding. Other English rugby football clubs followed this lead and did not join the FA, or subsequently left the FA and instead in 1871 formed the Rugby Football Union. The eleven remaining clubs, under the charge of Ebenezer Cobb Morley, went on to ratify the original thirteen laws of the game. These rules included handling of the ball by "marks" and the lack of a crossbar, rules which made it remarkably similar to Victorian rules football being developed at that time in Australia. The Sheffield FA played by its own rules until the 1870s with the FA absorbing some of its rules until there was little difference between the games.
The laws of the game are currently determined by the International Football Association Board (IFAB). The Board was formed in 1886 after a meeting in Manchester of The Football Association, the Scottish Football Association, the Football Association of Wales, and the Irish Football Association. The world's oldest football competition is the FA Cup, which was founded by C. W. Alcock and has been contested by English teams since 1872. The first official international football match took place in 1872 between Scotland and England in Glasgow, again at the instigation of C. W. Alcock. England is home to the world's first football league, which was founded in Birmingham in 1888 by Aston Villa director William McGregor. The original format contained 12 clubs from the Midlands and the North of England. FIFA, the international football body, was formed in Paris in 1904 and declared that they would adhere to Laws of the Game of the Football Association. The growing popularity of the international game led to the admittance of FIFA representatives to the International Football Association Board in 1913. The board currently consists of four representatives from FIFA and one representative from each of the four British associations.
Today, football is played at a professional level all over the world. Millions of people regularly go to football stadiums to follow their favourite teams, while billions more watch the game on television or on the internet. A very large number of people also play football at an amateur level. According to a survey conducted by FIFA published in 2001, over 240 million people from more than 200 countries regularly play football. While football has the highest global television audience in sport, its simple rules and minimal equipment requirements at amateur level, have no doubt aided its growth in terms of participation.
In many parts of the world football evokes great passions and plays an important role in the life of individual fans, local communities, and even nations. The Côte d'Ivoire national football team helped secure a truce to the nation's civil war in 2006 and it helped further reduce tensions between government and rebel forces in 2007 by playing a match in the rebel capital of Bouaké, an occasion that brought both armies together peacefully for the first time. By contrast, football is widely considered to be the final proximate cause in the Football War in June 1969 between El Salvador and Honduras.[24] The sport also exacerbated tensions at the beginning of the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s, when a match between Dinamo Zagreb and Red Star Belgrade devolved into rioting in March 1990.

Happy halloween....... kenangan lama di US
I tulis pasal hantu sebab 31 October adalah hari haloween. Semasa dok di US kita orang dress-up menakutkan dan bawa pumpkin dengan api lilin. Enjoy gak tengok kanak2 bersuka ria. Of course, dalam Islam, ini semua mengarutkan tapi kita orang just main suka2..
Halloween is an annual holiday observed on October 31, primarily in the United States, Canada, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. Common Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, wearing costumes and attending costume parties, carving jack-o'-lanterns, ghost tours, bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, committing pranks, telling ghost stories or other frightening tales, and watching horror films.
Di malaysia, kita tidak celebrate haloween. Cuma dikalangan orang Cina Malaysia ada sembahyang untuk hantu. The Chinese Ghost Festival has similarities to Halloween in US and is sometimes called Chinese Halloween. It’s also similar to the Mexican “Day of the Dead” and is sometimes called the "All Souls Festival." For Chinese Buddhists, it is known as Ullambana, or the “Hungry Ghost Festival.”
Apa pendapat anda tentang Haloween....

Lidi........ nasibku
Lidi... datangnya drp daun pokok kelapa...
daun pokok kelapa yg hijau di keringkan
daun yg kering dihiris... dibuang
tinggal laa batang lidi bogel
Lidi ini kurus dan nipis senang patah
walaupun kurus lidi ini garang...
kalau di pegang oleh orang yang marah boleh digunakan untuk memukul....
kena dibadan aduh sakit dibuatnya
Lidi walau sakit dipukul
banyak gunanya......
dicucuk untuk sate
makanan yang lekat dicelah gigi dibuang gunakan lidi
bukan itu ajer
lidi diguna sebagai hiasan bersama bunga2
bukan itu ajer sampah sarap di kawasan rumah
dibersih menggunakan lidi....
akhir kata....
sekiranya tiada kayu untuk masak
maka akhirnya....lidi menjadi penggantinya
korbankan diri..dibakar...menjadi abu....
begitulaa cerita LIDI....
lahir ikhlas dan suci
membantu manusia..
akhirnya tidak dihargai.......

Apa itu Cinta? What's love.....
Recently, one of my blog readers told me to write in Malay. I told her i can write in Malay too. So the topic i choose is...what's love. There you go.....still in Mat Salleh language. Need to change gear. Apa itu cinta? terdapat pelbagai cinta. Cinta kepada Tuhan (Allah for Muslims). Cinta kepada isteri. Cinta kepada anak2. Cinta kepada ibubapa. Cinta kepada kawan. Cinta kepada harta. cinta kepada pangkat. So terdapat pelbagai cinta.
Ada yang kata.......cinta itu manis, cinta itu indah, cinta itu mengkhayalkan, cinta itu wonderful, cinta itu menyeronokkan....cinta itu best....cinta itu mengasyikkan...
Ada pula yang kata..... cinta itu gila...cinta itu buta.....cinta itu menyakitkan....cinta itu membazirkan masa......cinta itu melukakan, cinta itu sementara waktu ajer......
Semua orang mesti pernah bercinta....sedang bercinta atau akan bercinta...apa pun kategori cinta yang you alami...cinta membawa pengertian yang berlainan kepada seseorang itu.
Apa yang penting cinta paling indah dan seronok adalah cinta semasa muda di antara teruna dan dara. Ada cinta monyet...cinta sejati...cinta sehidup mati dan pelbagai kategori lagi. Cerita atau movie pasal cinta pun banyak... Love Story, Romeo and Juliet, Bobby, Cinta Pertama, Uda dan Dara, Romi dan Julie, Winter Sonata dan sebagainya.
Adalah pula kata cinta sebelum kahwin cinta mainan, cinta sejati hanya muncul setelah berkahwin. So perlukah jatuh cinta dulu baru kahwin atau kahwin dulu baru discover cinta.
Ada pula berubah2 hatinya. Dia kata cinta itu bagaikan pasir...sekali air bah, sekali pasir berubah...
Apa pun Cinta kepada allah, cinta kepada ibubapa, cinta kepada anak dan isteri serta cinta kepada sahabat andai adalah murni dan berfaedah.
Apa kata anda tentang ATNIC oh...terbalik maksudku...CINTA

What's on Your mind......
Today is Sunday 24/10/2010. Most of you may have some plans already..either go to wet market, supermarket, weddings, picnics, vacation and so on. Some may stay home doing laundry and some with family members bfast and then watch tv programmes. Sounds like I have nothing to write this morning......
Actually, i was thinking what's on everybody's mind. When u wake up, do you do thinking back what u did last nite or yesterday. Try to analyse whether u have done good or bad as well as what u r going to do today. Whether you r going to do the best today. The clock is ticking and time is running. Day turns night and night turns to daylight......
I bet everybody will think they r doing the good thing. Most will think they are always right and try to rationalize others r not right. Even among your family members you will try to say what u think is right. Its human nature.
Most of the time, we will try to think why others not thinking like u. If everybody thinks like us, then problem wont arise and no such thing as life. People think differently. Not necessarily what u think is the best option
So what r u thinking......

Lots of comments about Warisan Merdeka project.....
Since the announcement in Budget 2011, the plan to construct warisan merdeka project with a 100-storey tower and other condominiums recieved mix responses. Immediately after its announcement, the project comes under criticism from various quarters. On tv, radio, blogs and papers people are commenting all kinda things. Both the educated and less educated express their opinions. In this democratic country everybody has the right to their own opinion.
The project will be built at the stadium merdeka area while preserving the heritage buildings of stadium merdeka and stadium negara, the surrounding area will be developed. The police station will be relocated. There is already monorel connected to the area and its closeby to petaling street.
For me its a good project for the future of the nation and the people. Dato' Dr Zainal Aznam says on bernama tv its not a good project using peoples money, he was telling that money can used for building schools or bridges in sabah and sarawak. He doesnt know about the project and its financing, and he is making stupid comments on tv. Producer of the programme Anne Edwards too doesnt know about the project and provoking this kinda questions. Even confusing the general public and give wrong picture to the people and the opposition to attack the government. First of all, like PNB clarified this project is not financed by government, its PNB's money from the profits and not even using investors money. Government is doing all kinda of this to uplift the infrastructure in sabah and sarawak. The rural population is the priority of government.
The projects like warisan merdeka will have long-term impact on the countries growth. Not only the private sector benefits but the general public. It will even be a tourist attraction spot. Change of Mindset is important from all quarters of the general public.
As for me, we need the MRT to have an efficient public transport system. So does the sungei buloh and KLFID projects to boost economic growth. You know more than 140 subsectors will benefit if construction activites are carried out including engineers, doctors, accountants, bankers, lawyers, steel producers, cement factories and even the mamak stalls and even nasi lemak seller... many more will benefit...
What's your view of these high impact strategic projects announced in the budget 2011.

Roadshow......
The Budget is over and I thought my job is over and i was wrong. This year the number of talks, seminars, radio and tv interviews lined-up are many.
On Tuesday (19/10), was a panelist in the Malaysian Economic Association annual post-budget dialogue. The dialogue went well, only that i was wrongly quoted by the SUN newspaper. I said that the government may consider of reducing the EPF dividend paid to contributors of more than 1 million ringgit so that they are encouraged to save in private pension fund (PPF). But the report came out in SUN that I said EPF dividend will be reduced to encourage them to contribute to PPF. Only half of what i said was published. This created a huge debate in the newspapers for the past three days quoting my name. MUTC even said they are going to campaign EPF contributors to boycott PPF. Whatever, clarifications was sent to SUN but they didn't publish MOF's statement instead published MUTC's comments. These are the things reporters do to make small things to become sensational issues. I guess this situation also happen to other individuals where the truth is manipulated. The NIB of a pen is so powerful can even destroy one's life or career.
Then on Wednesday (20/10) went to MATA post budget seminar in Concorde Hotel in KL. Gave a talk and all went well.
On Thursday (21/10), did a recording on BERNAMA TV 502, this will be aired on saturday 23/10 at 9am, 4pm and 9pm. So all my readers and officers welcome to watch the talkshow.
on Friday (22/10) i was on hot seat (Kerusi Panas), radio Bernama 93.9 provoking session with the deejay and questions from the public. I hope i handled it well and no more controversies. I have enough stress in my chest.
On monday (25/10) i have one session in PWTC with banking sector, another session with Women and Budget 2011, followed on on 27/10 in Mata seminar at PJ Hilton and on the 3rd November another MATA seminar at PWTC.
I'm gonna take leave after that starting Deepavali celebrations. Hope to spend some quality time with my siblings in IPOH (I was born in Kelantan but parents and brother and sisters all moved to IPOH except for me, i moved to KL)
I drafted this Budget together with others with frank and innocent conscience of bringing our beloved nation to the next level.

Thanks to all my officers and others who.......
From my bottom of my heart, I would like to say thanks to all my officers and others from other agencies, ministries and organisations who helped me in formulating this superb 2011 Budget and Economic Report. Without all of your contributions and ideas this won't become a reality. It's not a one man job and nobody can claim credit, it is a teamwork effort. I can't mention all names but thanks all of you.
2011 Budget. - What's Good...........
So at last I'm free now. For months, I have been writing and cracking my head together with my officers. 2011 Budget was tabled by the PM on 15/10/2011.
The 2011 Budget was structured on only addressing short term issues but also long term strategies to bring the nation to the next level - as a developed and high-income nation. Most of the strategic high impact projects like the new MRT (KL have new well-connected under-ground and overhead mass transit transport, the new iconic 100-storey tower (to be built in the current merdeka stadium area but without demolishing mederka stadium and stadium negara, the KLFID financial centre (with banks and financial institutions), The development of Sungei Buloh RRI area with houses and commercial centres, the development of pudu jail area and so on. All these projects will take 5 to 15 years development, providing investments and new jobs. We need more engineers, architects and technicians. We will reach there as a developed and high-income economy.
Although mentioning about high impact strategic projects, we don't forget about the rural folks, with constructing new rural roads as well as ensure the supply of electric and clean water.
While doing this we also address education, human capital, environment and other related issues.
We also didnt forget those who are involved in capital and venture capital markets. Lots of new products and to give a boost to capital markte was mentioned. The new discoveries by Malaysians to be commercialised was alos addressed through the provision of Start-up Fund.
For those who earn below RM3,000 and want to buy house, they don't have to pay 10% deposit but straight away start paying their installment.
Imams and Pengerusi JKKK or Ketua Kampung, their allowances also was increased almost double.
The establishment of National consultative wage council will be able to resolve wages issue and determining of minimum wage.
For civil servants too many goodies. The women in Malaysia are lucky too the budget provides lots of training and assistant for women.
Not forgetting the less fortunate, the poor and the old ones.
One new thing, we carefully thought of is the current social problems, dumping babies, mat rempit, gangsterisme and muders. We thought we can solve only by sternthening police force but also using NGO's to go on the ground and educate the public. Prevention of crime at its root causes rather curing when crimes are committed.
May be some of you are still not satisfied. Of course in one budget you can't satisfy everybody or solve all the problems facing every body. Surely there will be grouses and complaints.
What are your complaints?? Tell me and if they are good and valid surely the government will look into solving them.
Thanks to all who contribute to this fantastic Budget, especially my officers.

Some are lucky and some are...........
Life is like a journey.... some says there are ups and down in this journey.
Some are lucky because they are born rich. Where as others maybe born in very poor family and of course, there maybe some are in between the two. Wherever or whoever they are born, they makes take and make this journey before the final call comes.
They usually say that the ones born to a rich family lives happily and with all the luxury. On the other hand the poor had to go through a tough journey before they reach success. Most of them will not achieve the success or whatever they have dream of. very few make it to the top. On the other hand the rich ones, fed in silver spoon will usually have happy life. But again not all the rich will be happy always but most of the time they do.
Rich or poor this is the game of the world. All government have this sincere feelings of helping their people. But there is a limit to how much can do. Individulas have to stand on their own feet.
I will stress more on the poor rather than the rich. The poor had to improve themselves. there are many opportunity in the world for them to move up the value chain. Should not leave everything to fate. Fight and overcome any obstacle blocking your way to the journey of success.
Goodluck

Tension or no tension
Everybody goes through periods of tension in life. either tension from work or tension at home. Tension leads to stress, then to sickness and extreme may even heart problems.
For the past one month i'm going through stress. Tension at work not because of anybody..its the workload. Most of the agencies i'm dealing with, gave me tough time. Everybody wants to protect their turf. I on the other hand, always think of the nation. What ever i do it's for the nation and the people. But others think of their own institutions or the glamour they can get. Its human nature ..to be so selfish and think of their own interest.
tension..tension..tension
how too deal with tension.....
i go for jogging
i tend to smile a lot to lessen the pressure
watch movies or tv..
but some times u need this tension moment in life. If everything goes smoothly in life, then life is no fun. I sometimes this kind of tension, it makes my life more challenging. Sometimes when there is no tension..i look for problems that create tension and try to overcome those problems that cause me tensions....
By solving them...i achieve the ultimate satisfaction.

People likes to be praised
Most men or women likes to be praised. Whoever, friends, colleagues or officers, they like to be said nice things about them. It's human nature. But over praising or over doing something is too much. Sometimes the person who is praising have some hidden agenda. Seldom a person praise another person with sincerity. Even among lovers, one partner praising the other because they wanna attract your partner. Of course, in 100 people, one or two maybe are genuine. But after marriage they will be cursing each other.
Seldom people like when u point out their mistakes in front of others. They like to be praised. I don't like to be hypocrite. Some people are good in these, they praise everybody. Even if they don't like the person they will nice things bout them.
I remember one of my lady friend is very good in these. She will praise everybody. Good in networking. This kind of person will be liked by everybody. But whether they are sincere is another story.
Its better to have a friend who criticize you and be sincere with you. Be carefrul if people praises who too much.
Irwan: tak makan puji

Are women more sensitive than men
I am a jovial guy who likes to make jokes and provoke people. Sometimes without realizing i tend to over say something and its just kind of casual statements about things. Sometimes criticizing or provoking others by pointing weaknesses or short comings.Its just jokes (gurau2 with frens) Like i said over gurau leads to people getting hurt but i feel i have done nothing wrong. The joke u do hurt women more than women. Are women more sensitive than men. I guess so. They to tend listen more carefully than men. If whatever you say something wrong that's it. Men are couldn't be bothered.
Even among my family members i find the similar behavior. Among my officers and colleagues too.
I need to deal differently with women than men. Need to praise and say nice things about them. Then they tend to like u more.

Crime on the increasing trend, what ought to do
Crime rates of various kinds are on the increasing trend despite various efforts taken by the Government. The recent murder of a beautician along with three others is a testimony. The guys who are involved in the actual murder were young guys in their early 20s. Why they carried out this inhuman killings under the direction of their boss. Its all because of MONEY. A few thousand dollars is enough to hired to kill innocent people.
These guys must be from poor family background, low level of education, mixing with wrong group of friends and involved with drugs or intoxicating alcohol drinks. Mentally this guys are not stable and need to be rehabilitated. There are many more guys like this in our society. How can we overcome the existence of these kind of humans with animal soul?
We can put more policemen on the road. We can have more patrol cars and high-powered motorbikes. We can have all kind of sophisticated gadgets but crime keeps on increasing.
The ultimate solution is tackling crime at its root causes. Identify the areas of high crime occurrences and study why people in these areas commit crimes. Provide them with education, if they are drop-outs provide training so they are not unemployed, organize more youth coaching programs to be good citizens and caring society. Don't allow youth to loiter unnecessarily fill their time with valuable activities.
Make them realize MONEY is not everything in life.

Only puasa month able to spend sometime tha's during sahur and break fast. My son came back form indonesia during raya, i didnt spend much time with him, i was busy with work. My son said this is usual....he has been experiencing this since his childhood days. My family members understand my style of life. I give 110% to my work....
I always say work comes first then family. My family there
