what to believe.......
In this era of ICT, alternative media is becoming more relevant than the conventional media. People especially the younger generation are hooked on to the computer almost all day round and depend on information from the internet. News in the internet contain both reality and creation.
Its easy to create news, stories and superimposed pics of others. People can kill other peoples' career by publishing and spreading baseless stories. On the other hand, people who reads those stories tend to believe without further investigations. Many fell victim to stories or false information on the net. I'm not saying all are fabricated news but most do.
Thus, internet is becoming a an important medium to spread information becomes is easy, simple and it costs less. You can get latest news instantaneously. What ever happens in any corner of this world yo can know by the click of your computer or hand phone which has internet connection. Filter the information which you read. Choose the right One.

Life is not easy.........
Well, everybody knows life is not easy. That's why we are living in this world. To go through all the happiness, success, tortures, sadness, hardship and laughter, tears and many other feelings and happenings. We know life is short too.... well 50, 60, 70 or if you are lucky even 80 years, is a short period of time compared to the existence of this universe. In reality most of us think life is long.
Every human living in this world feel, he or she is important and God likes and loves them (of course, if they believe in God). Though they are cruel, greedy, ruthless, revengeful and jealous, they feel they are right. Maybe in a thousand or perhaps a million soul, you can find one individual who is innocent, straight forward, pure, sincere and never have any bad feelings towards others.
Life is tough not because of you but rather other souls that surround you. Whom to believe and not to believe, whom to trust or not, only God knows. The trusted ones can be the worst enemy. The bad ones can be the one, who helps you at last.

judging people
been quite sometime since i wrote in this blog. today met two ladies call the Miss W and Miss L. Both have different personality and characters. well each individual obviously will have different behaviors. who am i to judge others. but me being me, cant help in judging other peoples character. I knew W much earlier than L but when we met I'm much more comfortable with L.
W from the start is a bit sensitive, reserved not talking much, always sees the negative side of things first, so conscious about what you say. i like to provoke as usual but for W its mocking.
L on the other hand is more jovial, friendlier, easy to communicate, asking and enquiring all kind of things, seems to know lots of stuff.
surely if i ask which person you like to go out and have dinner...you will choose L.
but is it the right thing to do... make judgement about others. some say what you see at the outskirt is not the true picture of a person.

whatever others say, u know better......
I didnt write for quite sometimes nad have been bz with work. Start work at 8.30 am and sometimes go home at 12 am. People say private sector staff work hard and late hours. Its true in the 60s and 70s but not in the 20th century. Public sector staff too work late hours and sometimes even much more and later than the private sector. However, in terms of pay, it doesnt change much. Public sector earn much less than the private sector employees.
I have too many official meetings to attend. I cannot mention the detail of those meetings but enough to say important meetings chaired by important ppl. so i have only evenings and nights to arrange for my own internal meetings. Sometimes private sector companies grumble why this guy conduct meetings at night. Inefficient and unproductive are among some of the comments. But they dont know my constraints. They will say night time ppl are tired already and cant concentrate. May be its true in their case but as for me i'm as fresh as when we start meeting early morning.
Currently, my junior officers in Tax Division are doing their individual presentations. I have done this with economic and finance divisions. later I will do the same with Budget division. Officers may think this is another wasting things to do. for me this has great impact. He enhances skill, knowledge, improves English proficiency and builds up the confidence level of individuals. I hope these officers look at things differently. Later, i intend to conduct Blue Ocean Strategy presentations by these four divisions.

Sophie........who is she?
About five months ago, one morning about 8.15 am, Abu (not real name) came with a lady (sophie) to make a presentation. I was busy and was preparing myself for the 9 o'clock meeting. So didnt pay much attention, moreover they just came without any appointment. I know Abu so i had to just to what sophie had to present. I half-heartedly listened to what she had to present. But that evening, when i was abit free, i just flipped through to see what the proposal si all about. Sophie apparently is heading an NGO group called Kakiseni and they propose to do an out reach program consisting of theatres, shot plays, music, dances, poem readings, paintings and photo exhibitions and so on in conjuction with the 100 Years Women Day celebration. They do these programs in open public space or restaurants. Its free for public. It sounds fantastic and meets my quest to reach the public and change their mindset. We can use arts and performance to reach the grass root and tell them the good things about life and be a good and responsible citizen. Immediately, i texted a message to my friend Dr Noorul Sec Gen of Min Of women about this proposal. She was in US at that time bit she replied would like to know more about the proposal. I told her we can call sophie to make a presentation.
To cut the long story shot, we agreed to provide the allocation requested and seek the commitment from Sophie and geng. The minister sharizat agreed to officiate the launching of this program which runs for more than 50 days. I went for the closing ceremony at Pavilion on 5/5/2011. The closing was with a photo exhibition session. Personally, i felt that sophie more than succeeded in what she had originally proposed. Thumbs up for her.
To celebrate sophie belanja me makan at Garibaldi an italian restaurant. nice ambience and good food. I made appointment to meet sophie at 7.30 pm but due traffic jam she came at close to 8pm. But as usual without realiizing hows fast time pastby we left the restaurant past midnight.
While talking to sophie, i discover her to be very independent, confident, open, friendly, versatile and so on and on. I can keep on tell nice things about her. she is married with 3 kids. we need more of these kind of individuals both men and women in malaysia to carried out effective programs on voluntary basis to reach out to the masses.
Congrats and respect u...Sophie

Do we need to be defensive
Most of the time people criticize us and we tend to deny as well as say we are on the right path. We will give 1001 reasons to explain that we doing the right things and we are basically right and no point arguing. Whoever says constructive things and are telling the truth, we presume that they are telling lies or their facts are not accurate. Why should we be so defensive and this infact obviously shows our weaknesses that we are in wrong. If nobody says anything and try to investigate the accusations then we are doing the right thing. If we are doing the right things, we shouldnt be afraid when a third party is evaluating our case.
But often not than most of the time individuals and companies or even politicians will argue against a third party report. There is a saying before pointing fingers at others, point your fingers to your face.
The question do we need to be so defensive when people say something us or the way we are doing things. not everybody is not sincere in this world. There are still who are sincere in making comments. Its on us to investigate and make wise judgement. Always suspecting others so we feel insecure. So try to be natural and listen positively to what they have to say about us. Negative means we need to improve ourselves and positive means we need to continuously work hard.

Istanbullllllllll......facinatinggggg
Last week i came back from Istanbul. To share with you some of the facinating attractive spots in istanbul especially the mosques. In istanbul, between every 200 to 400 metres you can find a new or ancient mosques. At one glance you may think its one of the most religious city in the world apart from Jeddah, Mecca and Madinah but its one of the most secularist city. Night life is so happening with pubs and belly dancing clubs. It goes that once upon a time, the sultan of turkey brought women slaves from all parts of the world and let them perfom dances and make them as his wife or mistress. That's why you can find all kind mix blood citizen of turkey and they have among the prettiest ladies in the world.
Attached are some beatiful spots in Istanbul.
Sultan Ahmed or the Blue Mosque
The greatest Church which is a mosque now : Ayasofia
Grand Bazaar: To buy souvenirs, jewellery, lather goods, carpets and scarfs
Spice Bazaar: To buy turkish delights and other delicacies
One of the scenic bridges
if you have time do visit Istanbul. One of the oldest civilization. I visited Istanbul on official duty to learn more about their Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) under construction. Their MRT is even crossing the sea through underground tunnel i.e. 60 metres below sea level (the deepest tunnel in the world. while digging to construct one of the stations they discovered artifacts dating way back before christ. Among other things discovered include bowls and potteries, human and animal bones, jewelleries, coins and ships.

We think we are ahead of others
i didnt write quite sometimes. I was so busy with work. I have been travelling alot. twice to jakarta, Bali, manila and just recenlty came back from ankara and Istanbul. I thought i need to write something. Not the beauty of other countries but what's going on there in other parts of the world.
We think we are ahead of others. Doing all the traansformation programmes to attract both foreign investment and domestic investment too. In fact other countries are doing the same thing but greater success. The tourism ministry publishes figures showing the increasing tourists arrivals but tourists in other part cant be compared they are way way ahead. they have all kind of civilization and new attractive spots to lure torrists from all around the world.
Manpower, we at once were superior in terms of skill and language proficiency but its deteriorating and slowly getting worst. Not only that the salary is so low compared to other countries in the same rank. The rules and regulations need to be further simplified and liberalized.
The authorities know about all these problems but how soon we are going to address them especially measures to uplift skills dan wage level. there are other structural issues that needs to be addressed immediately not private inevstment alone can solve these problems, these are fundamental issues.
Countries who are behind us like Korea and china has overtaken us but up and coimng countries like vietnam, indonesia, philippines and india, if we dont act fast these countries are going to leave us far, far away.
We will forever be trapped in the middle income group. So put our act together to address fundamental issues. Decision makers should open your eyes and dont be complacent, civil servants should change their mind set and private move up to the challenges to survive in this competitive global environment.

Kemewahan atau Kesenangan
Manusia selalu kata mereka hanya ingin hidup senang tanpa kesusahan dalam perjalanan kehidupan ini. Tetapi manusia sering lupa dalam mencari kesenangan akan mengejar kemewahan dan seterusnya kekayaan.
Kenapa aku pilih topik ini kali ini. Manusia dewasa ini menyimpang dari matlamat hidupnya. Apa yang kita cari dalam kehidupan seharian. Kita mahu hidup senang, cukup makan, ada tempat tinggal..punyai keluarga dan dapat menampung keperluan keluarga termasuk membesarkan anak2 dan hingga mereka kahwin dan mempunyai keluarga sendiri, dan akhirnya kita mati. Dalam perjalanan hidup yang singkat ini, kita juga mesti taat kepada ajaran agama dengan melaksanakan tanggungjawab terhadap allah dan disamping itu, menjalankan kehidupan seharian mengikut lunas-lunas yang ditetapkan oleh agama. adakah setiap kita mengikuti landasan ini...setiap hari sekurang-kurangnya seminit pun cukup merenung sebelum membuat sesuatu adakah kita dilandasan yang betul.
Aku menulis ini bukan nak kata aku 100 percent sempurna. Aku pun ingin mengikut landasan yang betul.
Ramai yang ku temui dalam perjalanan ini...samada di office, di FB, di shopping mall dan di mana2 aje, manusia kejar kekayaan. Gadis yang mahu kemewahan lalu sangat materialistik. Bila bicara aje, soalan pertama akan ditanya kerja apa, bisness apa, pakai kereta apa, tinggal dikawasan mana - banglo kah. Mereka tidak akan tanya sama ada kita sihat, sudah ke mekah atau tentang keluarga kita.
Kemana semua kekayaan kita akan pergi. Adakah akan ikut kita ke dalam tanah. Bukan maksud ku supaya kita tidak berusaha mencari harta dunia tapi harus berlandaskan cara yang betul mengikut ajaran agama. Kalau kamu kaya raya, billionaire, syukur alhamudillah. Itu pun aku hormat kamu kerana usaha gigih mencari harta seimbang dengan lunas2 agama. Banyak sudah ku tulis malam ini, baikku berhenti disini.
DOAKU
Aku doa padamu Ya Allah yang maha Esa lindungi semua insan yang mengenaliku dan seluruh umat didunia ini, tempatkan kedudukan yang tinggi kepada Nabi Mohammad dan sahabat2, juga ampun dosa kawan2 yang telah pergi dulu. Bagi ibubapaku dan abangku yang bukan beragama Islam dan sudah tiada dibumi ini aku pohon keampunanMu Ya Allah.
Ya Allah ambillah segalanya dariku, tetapi jangan ambil Islam dariku yang engkau telah berikan.

what's life.......
People say life is a journey....
i'm not going to write life according to religion or science but more
what i think life is all about. I wrote many times on this subject
but i feel i need to write again....
The more i chat with people in FB, the more i find all kind of characters. Some are just killing time,some searching for old time frens, some seeking new love and some even finding ways to cheat others. whats your reason of joining fb.
Life is very short. Life can be difficult if you treat life to be difficult.
Life can be enjoyable if you make life interesting.
Whatever you do never hurt others.
Never depend too much on others.
Always be patience in what ever you do
Like i said life is short in this world.
The real long term life is waiting for you in the hereafter (akhirat)
The journey of life in this temporary world may be tough. Thus some may take short-cut. There is no short-cut in life.
Life is also very amazing.....out of the blue..you may meet friends whom you never met for 40 years. Friends of the past during your school days. Some may know you. some may try to ignore you. Some may think you want to take advantage of them so they ignore you. some are shy because they didn't do well in life. some you only now realize that they have left this world and gone into another world.
Whatever life is... it is meant to be mysterious, interesting, painful, joyful, tough, adventurous and challenging. It all depend on how we design it, steering it and reach the final destination.

Immature
Immature can be anything...from biological immaturity to technological immaturity. But what i want to talk is on immature thinking or characters. Some says immature means emotionally undeveloped or childish. Immature means acting in way or saying things in a manner where generally others can't make sense of it and moreover it is awkward than normal reasoning.
Having said that, I tend to like some immaturity in a character, I think it makes them seem more human. Even an 80 year old man may say things which sound immature to you. At times people utter words without carefully thinking or analyzing and that may sound immature to you. Things which happen once or twice doesn't mean that a person is immature. People like Obama, Clinton, Bush sometimes say things which sound immature but we cannot say that they are immature.
Most of the time, in comedy movies the leading characters are portrayed as foolish and childish. Directors do this to create interest and fun in the characters and some audience love it. Can we call the directors and actors as immature.
Generalizing, someone as immature in itself shows how immature we are.

Positive Thinking vs Reality
Today I want to write about a topic which i had a rather not good conversation. Dhe feels i'm immature, well that's her opinion. I thought in this free world everybody is entitle to their own belief and opinion. We should others opinion and never say that they are weird or even worst calling them 'immature'. Well that's life not everybody understand you but its okay some one who reads this will appreciate.
The conversation begins, me telling her about my current encounter in life, surrounded by jealousy and people telling lies about me. She said take things positively. She believes in positive thinking and couldn't be bothered about what others say. She like to mix with people with positive attitude and never talks about others. I do agree with her that's good attitude. But what I was telling her was about somebody who is so jealous about me in reality and should i take it as positive. The conversation went into disagreement. Anyway for me its good to have differing opinions. But calling me weird and immature that's too much. In the first place is it the positive attitude which she believes in?
Let me briefly write a bit on positive thinking. Positive thinking is a mental attitude that admits into the mind thoughts, words and images that are conductive to growth, expansion and success. It is a mental attitude that expects good and favorable results. A positive mind anticipates happiness, joy, health and a successful outcome of every situation and action. Positive thinking helps with stress management and can even improve your health. Overcome negative self-talk by recognizing it. Self-talk is the endless stream of thoughts that run through your head every day. These automatic thoughts can be positive or negative. Some of your self-talk comes from logic and reason. Other self-talk may arise from misconceptions that you create because of lack of information. If the thoughts that run through your head are mostly negative, your outlook on life is more likely pessimistic. If your thoughts are mostly positive, you're likely an optimist — someone who practices positive thinking.
Researchers continue to explore the effects of positive thinking and optimism on health. Health benefits that positive thinking may provide include:
* Increased life span
* Lower rates of depression
* Lower levels of distress
* Greater resistance to the common cold
* Better psychological and physical well-being
* Reduced risk of death from cardiovascular disease
* Better coping skills during hardships and times of stress
Those explanation on positive are all taken from the Internet. But not everyone accepts or believes in positive thinking. Some consider the subject as just nonsense, and others scoff at people who believe and accept it. There's nothing wrong with positive thinking (actually, it's key) but positive thought in a vacuum, without an active approach to any given agenda, is useless. Thought creates, but only in partnership with action. We don't want ending having a "false sense of the positive". Now comes the Reality. If one keeps on having positive thinking but in reality he suffers than positive thinking alone won't help.
Sometimes its also god for human beings to think about all the negative things in life in order to avoid it from repeating again or making the same mistakes again. History repeats itself. In Quran or Bible, God repeats certain verses; to remind human because they repeat the same mistake again and again.
I'm not telling, I'm great and always right. The same thing goes to others including her. Respect others views though its right or wrong. We don't know what others are experiencing in life. Simply throwing some advice may help sometimes but on the other hand, it may hurt them further.

Primary School Friends - Never met more than 40 years ago
Today, I had a gathering of my primary school mates of whom, some i have never met more than 40 years ago. We met at Putrajaya Club house and had lunch there. we met for about 3 hours. Shared old photos and moments of fun we had together in our primary school - Islah English School in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. Altogether we manage to gather 11 of us, may be some other time in the future the number will increase. I hardly recognise most of them, grown old and most of them with grey and white color hair except for one of them who still look young.

Faces of human beings
Human beings are created by Almighty Allah with great superiority over other living beings especially in using their mental ability not only to rule the world but race among them to be the best. Apart from mental ability human are gifted with look, in that each of them different features. Although they may be some individuals with similar face appearances but usually each of them differ from one another.
Some says we can read peoples mind just by seeing their faces. The face tells what is inside the soul of a person. Faces also indicate whether the person is a kind person, fierce, strict, playful, pious, loving and so on. Again, from another perspective, one says 'don't judge a book by its cover'. Meaning to say don't draw conclusion from the look of a person.
Whatever said its difficult to judge a person. He or she maybe nice and good to you at the outset but inside its another story. Most often we here people say, my closest friend betrayed me. So in life, we treat everybody equal and nice but how they treat us leave it to them. One day truth will come outside. God knows the best.

Whatever said its difficult to judge a person. He or she maybe nice and good to you at the outset but inside its another story. Most often we here people say, my closest friend betrayed me. So in life, we treat everybody equal and nice but how they treat us leave it to them. One day truth will come outside. God knows the best.

5 Hari Memegang Jawatan Baru
Hari ini Jumaat, 7 Januari 2011, sudah 5 hari aku memasuki pejabat baru dengan PA baru dan PAR baru tetapi driver lama. Suasana agak senyap sunyi di Tingkat 10 berbanding tingkat 9 yang selalunya penuh lively. Saya selau kata; the higher you move the lonely you get. Kata-kata itu benar kerana kawan seharian makin berkurangan. kalau mahu kita harus mencari kawan.
Di tingkat 9 aku harus memikir memerah otak, tetapi disini kurang fikir tetapi membuat keputusan strategik dengan pantas. Fail bertimbun-timbun masuk setiap hari, aku pantas bereskan semuanya. Dealing dengan syarikat swasta dan agensi bermacam-macam. Satu perkara ku perhati ramai yang cuba menegakkan "benang yang basah". Selalunya walaupun dipihak yang salah mereka cuba mengatakan yang mereka itu betul. Ada pula firma konsultan boleh ajer menyesuaikan penemuan-penemuan mereka mengikut kehendak client mereka tanpa mempedulikan kebenaran. So maka menjadi lebih rumit hidup ini bergelut dan berdebat dengan golongan seumpama ini.
Bagiku seperti biasa kepentingan negara mendahului segala-gala kepentingan lain termasuk individu atau syarikat.

Dugaan
Di pagi yang mulia tanggal 3 Januari 2011 ingin ku bicara tentang dugaan. Setiap insan dinamakan manusia akan melalui dugaan. Sekiranya ada manusia yang mengatakan beliau tidak pernah diduga maka itu adalah tidak benar sama sekali. Dugaan ada dari sekecil-kecil hinggalah yang besar. Dugaan berlaku semasa kita kecil hinggalah kita mati. Dugaan datang dalam pelbagai bentuk antaranya masalah penyakit, kekurangan wang ringgit, hasad dengki, tohmahan, musibah dan bencana.
Dugaan dalam Islam dikait rapat dengan kesabaran. Sebarang dugaan mestilah dihadapi dengan kesabaran. Tanpa kesabaran mungkin kita akan ambil tindakan yang kurang bijak ataupun lebih dasyat tindakan tidak waras. Sebab itu, dalam Islam kesabaran itu separuh daripada keimanan. Orang yang sabar menghadapi dan kalau boleh mengatasi dugaan adalah orang yang bijak dan disayangi allah.

Siapa saya?
saya mengelilingi rumah
kadang-kala nampak dari dalam rumah
saya tidak pernah jatuh ke dalam rumah
saya amat diperlukan oleh setiap penghuni rumah

Bukan semua insan suka kita...
Manusia ini mcm2 perangai dan karakter. Ada yang open-minded, ada yang close-minded, ada yang boleh bergurau, ada yang serius 24 jam dan ada pulak yang kelakar 24 jam. Manusia akan pilih kawan yang dia suka. Kawan yang boleh dikongsi kegembiraan dan kedukaannya. Kawan yang serasi dengan nya.
Kalau ada orang kata semua org suka kat dia, itu adalah mimpi di siang hari. Biasanya ada org yg kita suka dan ada pula yang kita tidak suka. Begitu juga orang lain. Diantara mereka ada yang suka kita, ada yang tak kisah dan ada pula, yang tak suka kat kita.
Apa pun, yang saya ingin mengutarakan disini ialah bukan untuk semua orang suka kat kita. Kita pun tidak boleh mengharapkan orang suka kita. Mungkin yang jahat bagi kita adalah baik bagi orang lain. Yang elok bagi kita pulak tidak elok bagi mereka.
Sepekara lagi manusia selalu mempersoalkan orang yang jujur dan ikhlas. tetapi selalu kena tipu dek orang yang tidak jujur dan ikhlas.
