KONSEP NEGARA TAMAN - Kampong Dalam Taman & Taman Dalam Kampong

Konsep negara taman telah diwar2kan oleh Jabatan Lanskap Negara, manakala konsep Malaysia Green and Clean telah dimajukan oleh Kementerian Pelancongan.

Dua kementerian berbeza kerana JLN adalah agensi di bawah KPKT. Mungkin satu jawatankuasa pemandu atau "steering committee" telahpun ditubuhkan bagi memastikan segala objektif dapat dicapai. Rasanya bukan setakat itu saja; agensi2 di bawah MoA, Sumber Asli, MOSTI dan pihak PBT juga dapat memainkan peranan yang lebih berkesan.

Negara Taman bukan hanya setakat KLCC, Putrajaya dan lain2 bandar besar. Bila bercakap mengenai negara maju menjelang 2020 ia harus meliputi seluruh inci tanahair termasuk lubuk2 kampung terpencil. Ianya juga bukan hanya berkata2 mengenai infrastruktur; kerana infrastruktur sahaja tidak membawa apa2 makna jika tiada pemerkasaan nilai2 murni dan pembudayaan semula tentang keindahan di mana2 sepertimana yang wujud di negara2 yang telah maju.

Tugas2 tersebut tidak seharusnya dibebankan kepada pemerintah sahaja tetapi partipasi setiap individu; bottom-up untuk membetulkan keadaan, merasa malu jika sekira kawasan kediaman tidak indah, malu dengan sikap bermalas-malasan dan berdolak-dalik serta menuding jari. Ciri2 masa lalu seperti budaya gotong-royong harus dihidupkan semula manakala idea transformasi boleh di-outsourcekan kepada pakar lanskap. Laluan air mesti juga bersih, setiap longkang dan parit harus dibersihkan secara berkala; sampah-sarap yang menyekat laluan harus diubah ke kawasan yang bersesuaian.

Siapa yang boleh membantu menjadi agen dan katalis bagi memastikan ramai yang tahu apa yang berlaku di mana2 seluruh negara. Ermmm....my1@groTV dan my1@groFM.

SESUATU TENTANG CINTA

Aku bermula dengan kalimah cinta buat bangsaku, agamaku dan negara ku!

2. Bangsaku adalah Melayu dan setakat yang ku tahu, ia tergabung dari etnik bugis, acheh, kedah, banjar, minang dan berkemungkinan mandailing dan rawa.

3. Bangsa atau ras yang membuat aku timbul di sini. Hakikat sebuah keturunan adalah bangsa meskipun pada dasarnya Adam dan Hawa yang menjadi pencetus bangsa melalui titisan nutfah dan lendir2 yang menuruti.

4. Agama ku, Islam datang kedua untuk menghiasi organ2 bangsa yang terwujud; hati, minda, iqtiqad, aqidah, kepasrahan, takdir, ketentuan, hidup dan mati, redha dengan ketentuan Ilahi dan semoga Allah juga meredhai hidup dan matiku -- duniawi dan ukhrawi.

5. Cintaku buat Allah yang maha Pencipta dengan ar Rahman, Ar Rahim, Ar Rasyid, As Sabuur serta bangsaku, agamaku dan negaraku.

Sign-off dengan hakikat kalimah CINTA

Today's Experience

I am pretty sure being a farmer is an exciting experience. Being me I hope I would not be trapped in the three T's syndrome as per famous phrases cited by the minister of MoA, DS Noh Omar; Tanam, Tunggu, Tuai or Tanam, Tinggal, Tuai.

This morning somewhat my mind worked at a faster phase; analyzing the problem at hand and quickly identify the appropriate solution. So, Monday I can be back at the office in BBP.

My Note Tonite

Today I spent most of my time in the paddy field; do some repair works to the batas as well as adding more seeds to the bendang for more probability of getting better outcomes in 120 days to come. It is fun and interesting to be out in the field breathing fresh airs after nearly thirty years working as a white collar coolie to someone always higher than me. No complain either as that was the chosen career upon graduation from the University of Memphis (formerly Memphis State) in 1985. Though my line was electrical engineering, fate decided that I were to serve Universiti Pertanian Malaysia (now Universiti Putra Malaysia). What a coincidence; born and brought up surrounded by paddy field, served UPM, made some friends throughout the campus. Former VCs Prof Dr Zohadie Bardaie and recently stepped-down Prof Radin Umar Radin Suhadi of Chemor and current TNC-Innovasi, Prof Salleh Jaafar. There are also friends made in Vet Faculty, Sains Samudera, Science Faculty, to name a few.

Well I really felt very blessed for the opportunity to gain knowledge plus experiences and made good friends in banking (BSN), Telecommunications (TM, Celcom, TM Touch), petrochemical (PETRONAS), multinational (Sime Darby Berhad) and be on my own and/or with partners as qualified ICT consultant for more than 10 years. No pain no gain. 

But now I have a target to fulfil; MoA considers 10mT per hectare as national vision. I definitely will try to achieve that whichever way possible. But China has proven, thru hybrid-rice, farmers can achieve up to 13.9mT per hectare. I am learning, but my way of learning is no longer traditional; i am about to embark a gradual revolutionary method, non-drastic revolution that may empty my pocket.

I will be in the field again by 7.00am and hope to be home by 10.00 then restart at 4.00 and conclude by 7.00pm. Still got time feed by fish and showers my garden. Live is so sweet.

Got to conclude now!

UMNO Tidak Boleh Goyah, BN Tidak Boleh Rebah

"Arab Spring" tiada persamaan langsung dengan susun-atur pentadbiran Malaysia. Begitu juga "gangguan Lahad Datu" tiada persamaan dengan gangguan di tempat lain. Arab Spring adalah akibat "individual overstay"; Muammar Ghadafi - Libya (40+ tahun), Hosni Mubarak - Mesir/Egypt (30+ tahun), Ali Abdullah Saleh - Yemen (30+ tahun), Zine al Abedine ben Ali - Tunisia (20+ tahun) manakala Syria diusik atas dasar Dinasti dari Hafez Al Assad yang mengakui keturunan Rasulullah. Akibat keterlanjuran kuasa maka wujudlah ciri2 autokratik yang merosakkan dan terubahlah demo-krasi menjadi demo-crazy. Malaysia tidak begitu kerana dalam tempoh 56 tahun kemerdekaan, kita sudah ada 6 orang PM pada kadar purata kurang dari 10 tahun seorang. Tun Dr M walaubagaimanapun ada "exceptional" kerana beliau adalah seorang yang "extra-ordinary" iaitu seorang yang "ordinary" tetapi sanggup bersusah-payah mendisplinkan diri beliau untuk walk extra-mile, think extra hard, give extra love, pragmatik dan highly pro-active.

Cuma kat Malaysia ni kira-kira pelik adalah kewujudan menteri besar yang mengaku diri ulama' tapi dah terlalu ganyut dan uzur serta nyanyuk -- tetap nak stay within power corridor. Fact: lahir 10-01-31, umur semasa - 82, overstay in power - 23+ tahun. If he is 32, 42, or 52 is fine but 82 simply not fine because he is not Dr M; he is only an Indian graduates in Arabic Studies ... i guess his intellectual basics and credentials perhaps only 10% of what Dr M has...considering the similar era they were in. Don't ask me why? I do not know what and how things were assessed in the 1940's, 1950's, or 1960's. But what i do know in the 70's, 80's and 90's, brilliant and smart ones are streamed into learning science subjects that allows them to become doctors, engineers, architects, accountants etc and the lesser ones went into arts stream that allows them to become government officers, teachers, typical politician, you name it. Science students have the options to move into traditionally arts careers but not otherwise. So you may want to judge the intellectual-ability on each and every one. I've personally tried; when I had to study electrical engineering in one of the universities in the USA, to get a "Magna Cum Laude" it wasn't an easy affair throughout the four-years but to get a 3.70 in a lesser calculative-analytic environment it was just a breeze and in-fact beating full-timers and book-worms. In addition when I took a diploma in Islamic Studies, I had only 1B and the rest are As beating a few mudirs and number of x-Al Azhar dropouts (3rd and 4th years). That B was really a catch as it was the 1st paper I took after many years and of course I wasn't able to properly allocate sufficient time for each of the question; i end up spent more time for less intricate questions. Guess what -- a top student in three different subject matters in institutions in different countries. Not trying to angkat bakul but as an engineer or scientist, proof is needed in order to disarray the hypothesis. Afterall 1st hand info is the most reliable information. Turning data to information then turning information into knowledge and finally turning knowledge into wisdom and convert tacit into explicit knowledge.

Lets look back at the proposed title...what the heck UMNO and BN got to do with the content. Yes, it does relate. My analysis is things will never be the same again if new regime takes over. It would not be a good aftermath particularly for the Muslims and the Malays just like Iraq, Libya, Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen and Syria. By the way if you are a Muslim reader and have been to Makkatul Mukarramah whether performed Hajj or Umrah please note down. Kaabah ada 4 penjuru; penjuru Iraqi, penjuru Syammi, penjuru Yamani dan penjuru Hajarul Aswad. Penjuru bermaksud arah dari titik tengah dalam binaan Kaabah melalui penjuru ke arah sebuah tempat. Dua dah tumbang (Iraq dan Yaman), satu masih bergolak (Syam - Syria). Yang tinggal cuma satu iaitu Penjuru Hajarul Aswad yang tepat mengarahkan ke Nusantara/Malaysia.

Sekarang ini PRU13 is just around the corner and it reminds me of 1999 and 2008 PRU12 where aggressions were rampant and UMNO and penyokong menjadi mangsa atau victims terutama semasa penamaan calon dan hari mengundi; pada ketika pengiraan undi pun macam susah nak bernafas meskipun pada ketika itu aku cuma bertugas sebagai pemungut khemah BN di setiap peti undi di parlimen P054. Aku dan teman hampir dipukul oleh penyokong parti lawan yang bertindak seolah2 negara ni depa saja yang empunya. Bila melihat situasi di KK baru2 ini di mana pemuda BN dipukul dan 5 buah motor dirosakkan, aku jangka pada PRU13 keadaan akan lebih sengit lagi. Namun aku sudah 5 tahun lebih tua dan kudrat tidak sama lagi seperti masa2 lalu. Tetapi sayangku kepada agama, bangsa, dan negaraku tetap jitu.

Katakan semua ini benar2 akan berlaku, apakah BN/UMNO/Komponen sudah punyai masterplan untuk tone-down the aggressions dari puak PR. apakah pemuda dan puteri sudah ready untuk bertindakbalas serta gerak dalam bentuk pro-aktif dan offensif. a battle is a battle, a war is a war but the war is a collective nouns of battles in 222 parliamentary constituencies and 528 state seats. saya menyeru supaya "at-all-effort", BN/UMNO/Komponen sudah patut berada di gear 3 pada ketika ini dan henjut ke gear 6 (pakai step-tronics or tip-tronics) sebaik pembubaran Parlimen/DUN, pra penamaan calon, hari penamaan calon, tempoh berkempen, hari mengundi, masa pengiraan undi di peti undi (ini penting-walaupun peti undi 50/50), masa penjumlahan undi, masa istihar menang-kalah sampai esoknya tak kira menang atau kalah. perang sampai muktamad, kalu cabut pokok cabut sekali dengan akar2nya...jangan tinggal walaupun seutas akar. boleh guna qisas; darah dibayar darah, nyawa dibayar nyawa, tumbuk dibalas tumbuk, penampar lawan penampar, penerajang lawan flying-kick. isk3 kalau i am only 30 i would want to volunteer to be the leader of the leaders. setakat kopiah putih baju mata satu aku sekeh biar terpelanting sebatu!!!

Ooops...buat umno khususnya jangan lupa peranan perkasa, pekida, jati dan lain2 organisasi sahabat. bagi makan cukup2 sampai puas, jika tidak jadi cam pru12 bilamana pembangkang ambil kesempatan awal sedangkan umno/bn menongkah arus lari sambil berundur...

Kalau rajin fikirlah wahai umat sebangsa dan seagamaku.

Got to sign off for my lunch.
