Tanah runtuh double standard

My heart goes out to the family of the victims. The biggest regret is to witness the double standard policy of the government.

KUALA LUMPUR: Those left homeless by the landslide in Bukit Antarabangsa will be provided with accommodation at hotels.

International Trade and Industry Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, who visited the site yesterday, said temporary lodging would be provided to ensure no residents remained at the unsafe area.

"The government will put them up at a hotel if there are no relatives or friends they can live with. This way, they won't feel helpless and worry about where they can go."

Mr. Muhyiddin, just because the victims are deemed richie rich you want to pay all the expenses for the hotel as 'penempatan sementara'? Would you take any actions like such if the victims were orang asli or the poors???

I don't think so... Huh.

Kau nak kasi hotel free guna duit rakyat kat mamat kecoh ni sebab dia ngamuk takde orang tolong jadi kuli hamba angkat barang-barang dia?

Bahaya menolak sebahagian dari syariat Allah

Firman Allah SWT dalam Surah An-Nisa' Ayat 150-152

"Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang kafir kepada Allah dan Rasul-RasulNya dan hendak membezakan antara Allah dan para RasulNya, dan mereka berkata: Kami beriman kepada setengah (Rasul) dan kafir kepada yang lain dan mereka hendak mengambil jalan tengah antara demikian itu (neutral). Mereka itu ialah orang-orang yang benar-benar kafir; dan Kami sediakan untuk orang-orang kafir itu seksaan yang menghinakan. Orang-orang yang beriman kepada Allah dan Rasul-Rasulnya dan tiada membezakan seorang pun di antara Rasul-Rasul itu, nanti Allah akan memberikan pahala kepada mereka. Allah Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Pengasih."

Xmas dinner

Dinner tahun lepas group aku join other several groups including our supervisors. That was ok, compared to this year's dinner since this one was originally organised by postgrads for postgrads. Kalau ikutkan hati, memang malas sungguh nak pegi. Dah la aku pakai tudung nanti kang diorang ingat aku nak gi KAABOOOMMM bar tu. Since labmates aku yang rapat ajak, aku pun memaksa diri buat-buat interested nak jaga hati. Dinner tu diorang buat kat bar The Angels. Awal-awal lagi aku pesan jangan letak babi bacon or wine. We had a very large table, where everybody can only talk to the person next to him/her.

Starter: Parsnip soup- sweet, creamy, tak sedap langsung.
Main course: grilled salmon- boleh tahan sedap.
Dessert: lemon tart- boooleh la.

Seriously, aku tak tahu apa la motif diorang bersungguh2 buat xmas dinner ni. Terlalu obvious orang yang enjoy malam tu adalah the Mat and Minah Salleh yang organise dinner tu. Aku ingat aku sorang je rasa camtu, tapi rupa2nya labmate aku (Mexican girl) pun rasa camtu jugak.

So mase dinner aku aku dok asyik borak dengan dia je la since dia duduk sebelah aku. There we came out with this conclusion- diorang memang baik, tapi baik la camne pun semua orang tau we can never fit in. Why?

1. Cultural differences. (diorang cakap suka makan turkey/salmon/beer/eccles, aku cakap suke makan budu/sirap/tempoyak/kari)
   
2. Kitorang tak paham lawak British. Memang tak paham, selalunya aku buat2 gelak walaupun dalam hati cakap 'Mende dia ni, lawak ke apa tu'
   
3. Some of us barely met at school prior to this (maksudnya setakat "Hi", "Bye", or tak penah cakap langsung)

Those could be some of the main reasons why the Mat Salleh stick together within their group celebrating the once-a-year event. Diorang dok gelak-gelak dengan lawak yang tidak seberapa tu sambil minum Stella/wine/arak sume tu. The 'isolated' others (termasuk la aku) desperately tried to find a topic just to make a conversation with the people sitting next to them.

Aku tak paham. Apakah semua ini? Apakah motif dinner ni? Macam ni ke diorang enjoy Xmas? Sebab ni ke orang suke sangat pegi bar?

TAKDE MOTIF LANGSUNG. TIDUR LAGI BAGOUS.

p/s: tahun depan confirm aku tak pegi
