Anwar di Permatang Pauh

she has inspired many women

Dato' Seri in action

still a family woman


Wahlau!

I usually don't like writing political commentaries (esp. on Malaysian politics yang amat memalukan! A colleague at lunch, was telling me how embarassed she was travelling abroad now and got asked about current issues at home.Sodomy is definitely not something you want to discuss in your conference room.She said sekarang dah ada mee segera called sodomee.Yuks! I will not be able to enjoy my maggi mee now).

I feel for Dato' Seri Dr. Wan Azizah. It is true that we'll know who our real friends are when we are in trouble.Online, I also observe who her real friends are. Kalau on blogs cakap gedebak gedebuk kami sokong, kami sanggup berkorban.But at the same time question why must MY seat be sacrificed (kalau nak bagi, bagi je dengan ikhlas.Tak payah nak hint2 penyokong tak suka etc.Kalau tak nak bagi, cakap je terus terang tak boleh.No need to be like a good samaritan, beritau satu dunia ini pengorbanan ku) Tak perlu nak tanya why not AI's wife.Why not AI's daughter.Real getik.If there's anything which I hate, it's inconsistency.And hypocrisy.

I had hoped that Dato' Seri Dr. Wan Azizah would stay in politics long enough for her to be our first woman PM.Nampaknya harapan meleset.But I will keep praying for her well-being.Allah will protect her.Only God knows what level of patience she has gone through.Kalau I jadi dia, dah lama AI kena fasakh. Bezanya wanita berhati mulia and one who is not. :)

Meanwhile, al-fatihah to Syed Othman Kelantan who passed away last night. To SM Zakir, takziah.Semoga bersabar di atas kehilangan ini.

Al Fatihah untuk S.Othman Kelantan. I cuma pernah jumpa allahyarham sekali, but know his works like Orang Kota Bharu, which was staged by Fauziah Nawi.

Azizah sanggup berkorban untuk Anwar

boleh tak u translate sajak Aku Binatang Jalang, it was the lyric for my dance-theatre piece at istana Budaya in 2004.

I pernah chaired a session with the national laureates (Aruah Dato' S.Othman Kelantan and Prof Muhd Haji Salleh).Memang dia lucu and selamba.A real loss.

I suggest you translate sendiri your poem (let me check/edit).Itu lebih baik.Lebih authentic.

Dato' Seri Azizah tak kurang dikecam orang left and right for the life she chooses to live.Apa yang orang sibuk sangat dengan kesetiaan dia pada suaminya, kan?Macam lah kita ni perfect sangat.I tengah baca buku akhlak Rasullulah ni.Waaahhh best giler.The Greek philosophers pun dok kata..at the end of the day, it's all about developing and being a noble character.Buku ni kata ibadah yang kita buat semuanya kerana ingin membentuk akhlaq yang mulia.Kalau semayang 5 waktu tapi akhlaq macam setan, itu maknanya we have turned solat into a kind of sports.Begitu juga dengan puasa, atau haji, atau zakat.Kalau dok ngongek ngongek mengata orang, tuduh orang ini itu, sakitkan hati orang...baik fikir balik.

Wahh..I terasa.I shall blog about this sempena Ramadan, insyaAllah. :))
