Muzikal Tun Mahathir
Last nite went to see the Tun Mahathir Musical theater. The music, songs acting and props were fantastic. The main casts of the show include Erra fazira and Isma. Well, prominent individuals and artistes (even Siti) were present. I enjoyed the whole 21/2 hours show and 100% concentration which i seldom do even in movie theaters. The musical show depicts the life history of Mahathir from the day he was born in 1925 to the day he resigned as the fourth PM of Malaysia. Of course, the show exhibits all the mega projects initiated by Che Det (thats how he his known from childhood, even now in his blog).
What I wanna share is not about how great was the show but more importantly the message and thoughts of a great statesman. He is of his own class and none so far can match him in Malaysia and even in south-east Asia as an intelligent, far-sighted political leader. He had done a lot for the nation in terms of development and progress bringing Malays to the level they are today. His frustrations centred in his failure to bring the Malays out-off rent-seeking mentality made him resign from his post though most leader won't easily give-up such a high position.
The other thing one can learn is about his character esp. hardworking, reading books most of the time, doing small business from selling balloons to operating small stall selling drinks. Then, furthering his studies in Singapore where he met Tun Hasmah and becoming UMNO leader. He even wrote a letter to Tuanku Abdul Rahman Putra, the PM then to resign as PM, giving reasons of his weakness and inability to rule the country, and later Mahathir ws expelled from the party. The 13 May incident brought him to active politics when Tun Razak brought him back into UMNO.
I think every Malaysian must go and watch this musical theater esp. the younger generation. Most of the young ones do not know the country's history and take things lightly which may lead to ignorant about their own country's history. The younger ones should be instilled with patriotic feelings and love for the country.

Are we doing the right thing
As human we always think we are the best and whatever we do is the best. We think we had done the right thing. Even when we have done the wrong thing, we tend to still uphold that what we have done is the right thing.
The outcome will indicate whether we have done the right thing. Some even when the outcome is not as what they had expected, they still tend to say that had done the right thing but circumstances that led to the deviations in the outcome.
That's why my entry's title is are we dong the right thing. We must first analyse from all angles whether we are doing the right thing. Again when analysing don't expect to find a perfect solution or outcome. Slight differences in the outcome is alright. You can't achieve 100 percent as what you want or expected. That's why there should be a degree of tolerance in deviation in the outcome.
So don't think everything you are doing is the right thing. Try to ponder on this.

Friends - who they are
Today wanna write about friends. friends are part of everybody's life. Man without friends is like life without fun. We have all kind of friends. Friends can be a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal. It can be a person who gives assistance; patron; supporter. Or a person who is on good terms with another; a person who is not hostile. He can be a member of the same state, nation, party, race, locality or even office-mate.
Most friends will show love and caring for you. There are friends you can depend on when u r in trouble or having problems. They are willing to help you irrespective of the situations and whether its nite or day. Do we find these kind of friends now.
Its tough today to find true friends. Most friends usually want to take advantage of you. Some friends wanna be close to you because you bring some form of benefits to them. Some are close to you because of money.... they can easily borrow from you. Some are close to u because you are not selfish and willing to spend money lavishly treating everybody. He must be getting free lunch everyday. friends who make you of you.
So we must know how to choose the right kind of friends. Do u need to evaluate a person before you choose him to be your friend. Its difficult to evaluate unless somebody alerts you. There is also a degree of measure of how strong your friendship with a person. There are close friends, not so close friends, friends once in a while, hi hi hi friends and distanced friends.
Having said so much about friendship, most often we end up choosing the wrong ones.

Most man are self-centered
I chose this topic because most of the things and incidents occurring around us, reflect that most man are self-centered. Self-centered means focus on themselves and benefits them only. They couldn't be bothered about others. You deal with these people, they will first analyze the maximum benefit to them.
Even in working environment or offices and among friends, this category of people will try gain as much as possible for their own good rather than thinking of others. Things are changing fast and so does human character around the world.
The mean, impolite, tough, autocratic and so on tend to survive better than the nice, polite, soft and democratic. This behavior cut across the continents and the world.
How do we bring back the culture of caring, loving, helping each other, sharing success rather than monopolizing, living in harmony and peace as well as prosper thy neighbor.

Cruel world or Cruel beings
They say what a cruel world. The world is not cruel but the human beings who live in it are. Anything goes wrong they will blame the world. They will say the world is getting worst. Poor world.
Man killing man. Man stealing from man. Greed and hatred become part and parcel of life. Man are self-centred, man only think of himself,couldn't be bothered of others.
Sometimes people say animals are better than human.
The irony is, how can man be so mean, cruel, dangerous, insensible and irrational. Man claim to be the most cleverest of all beings existing in this world but again he is also the meanest of all beings.
How can we change human behavior and his mental judgement. Education and early childhood environment are the two most important aspects in naturing everyone's life. The upbringing determines what you are going to be in the future.

No Religion Preaches to Harm Others
In the US though Rev. Terry Jones abandoned his intentions to burn the Quran, there were others who carried on burning the Holy Quran as shown on tv news last nite. News were also shown on the opponents of the proposed mosque and Islamic center project in New York, who view this as insulting the memories of the thousands killed by Muslim extremists in the 2001 terrorist attacks. However, Imam Rauf said he doesn't see the spot as sacred memorial space. It's two blocks away from ground zero, in a neighborhood that also contains a strip club and a betting parlor,which in itself tells us that it's not a sacred site.
The Kuwait-born Imam Rauf said "I'm a devout Muslim ... and I'm also a proud American citizen. I vote in elections. I pay taxes. I pledge allegiance to the flag. And I'm a Giants fan." This shows that he is loyal to the US, like any other fellow US citizens. This is also true for any other Muslims in the US or any other parts of the world. We love and are loyal to the country where we belong.
It's not Islam that preaches its followers to kill the innocent. The people who kills fail to understand the true meanings of Islam. Islam preaches it's ummah to be patience in whatever we do and never harm others or take what belong to others. Similarly,Christianity too teaches good things, to be polite and never harm others. In fact, all religion teaches good things and never preaches its followers to harm others. It's all man's own thinking and desire that deviates him from the true teachings of his religion. This can be related to the Sept 11 attack or any other similar attacks by religious fanatics.
As such, why can't we of different believe and religion, live in harmony and peace.
