Orang tua-tua dulu cakap macam tu… Dari dulu aku cuba nak pahamkan kenapa macam tu? Sampai hari ini masih tak terjangkau akalku. Kenapa perlu bermatian mempertahankan tanahair? “Ask not what the country did for you but what have you done to your country”. Itu cakap orang putih. Dalam Bahasa Melayu maksudnya lebih kurang, “jangan dipersoal apa yang Negara lakukan untuk anda tetapi tanyalah pada diri sendiri apa yang anda dah buat untuk Negara?”. Banyak kali aku cuba bersetuju dengan pepatah orang dulu-dulu… tapi kerap sangat aku jumpa alasan yang boleh menyangkal cakap itu. Kepercayaan setempat yang bersandar hukum adat sentiasa wajar disangkal oleh Syariat yang bersendikan hukum Islam sejagat. Kalau dulu aku tak nampak sangat beza Muslim dan Melayu. Sejak lahir dan besar di Tanah Melayu, aku dah banyak kali dengar pasal ketuanan bangsa kepada negaranya. Memang ada bahagian yang aku setuju… Cuma tak salah juga aku rasa kalau yang patut kita utamakan adalah ketuanan AGAMA kepada ...

Three dimensional. 3D. Many related to cartoons and visual effects (vfx). Gaining huge fans all over the world although 2D fans are still plenty. Movies, tv series, local & international, advertisement, print media and many other peripherals and accessories will quickly follow the three dimensional world or 3D. Watching Underworld: Awakening at 3D cinemas today is an awesome experience. Literally, you can see silver nitrate dust in the air! Hey dude? What happen in Malaysia? Lots of 3D stuffs are hyping up here right? Or was it yesterday’s news already? Indeed, Malaysia is a good example in being a creative nation. It’s not too boastful to say that Malaysians are amongst best world’s artistes… creative… but not so lucky perhaps ;-) Well, I’m not going to continue whining about those grants and rhetorical initiatives stuffs here any further. Let’s just appreciate 3D, shall we? Metaphorically if we are to define 3D within life’s perspectives, it’s obvious there are ample ...

Off lately, it’s becoming more rampant to find people contemplating about conspiracy theory involving Freemason, Illuminati and stuffs. Comparatively before the age of information technology, this subject matter had limited avenue of diffusion. To a certain extent, some people tend to become highly fanatical in blaming all sorts of occurrences to such theory. According to claims of those talks, the Illuminati are referred back to Iblis or Lucifer and its worshipers or Luciferian. There are abundant rationales that justify the claims and theory; both in actual happenings and hearsay. Without discrediting the possibility of the theory, the relevance and truthfulness of it has yet to become proven fact as the Illuminati and Freemason themselves are seemingly keener to respond in denial by pushing the wondering thoughts even further towards uncertainties and confusion. Many aspects of life are said to be related to the Luciferian plan, which focuses on mankind abandoning Godly beliefs...

“Haaa… kan betol macam aku cakap aritu!” Kebetulan yang belum tentu disangga kebenaran. Barangkali sekadar agakan yang bertepatan. Mungkin cuma telahan yang bersesuaian. Apa jua rumusan sebenar perihal keadaan, ramai yang pantas menganggap kebetulan lazimnya kebenaran. Kata orang, “betulkan yang biasa, biasakan yang betul”. Persoalannya adakah anggapan betul boleh dikira sebagai mutlaknya benar? Kalau kita betul, adakah secara otomatiknya yang lain semua salah? Betul dan salah sudah terlalu dibiasakan dengan menang dan kalah. Sejak di bangku sekolah, kebanyakan kita diajar teknik berfikir secara objektif. Memang tak salah membentuk keperibadian yang tegas mendukung kebenaran, cuma bila kita berhadapan dengan cabaran pemikiran idealis yang tidak dipancang dengan kebenaran, kebarangkalian berbeza atau bertentangan fikiran adalah suatu kebiasaan. Justeru nilai yang menjadi pegangan akan dibicarakan secara berhadapan. Di sinilah tuntutan bertegas dalam kesederhanaan dan keterbukaan benar-b...

Kita melihat dunia ini dengan nilaian yang berbeza-beza. Ada menilai dengan wang yang banyak. Ada menilai dengan isteri dan anak pinak yang ramai. Ada yang menilai dengan kuasa dan pengaruh yang luas. Hingga kita kabur terhadap kebenaran yang menanti di depan. Miskin di dalam 'rumah'yang sempit. Berseorangan tanpa teman. Lemah dan tidak mampu berbuat apa-apa selain menyaksi semula putaran 'video' semasa hayatnya. Tonton dan renungkan sejenak klip ini. Sebuah karya bersama Az-Zikr dan See Sharp Minor. Semoga kita sama-sama mendapat manfaatnya.

Every now and then Muslims rose to condemn atrocious attacks on their Palestinian brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, aunts and uncles. Some took their stirred emotions to street rallies, demonstrations, petition signings, charity aid events as well as vocalizing in media and internet. Let’s guess how many from these Muslims realize that the State of Israel was declared by the Jewish in 1948 as an intended outcome upon the morale unifying effort following the publication of Der Judenstaat that coined the term Zionist in 1896? Out of those who knew, how many can really understand what ought to be done in order to confront Jewish lawlessness in Palestine? Perhaps it is fairer to assume that lots of Muslims are aware of the fact that Jewish tribe existed long before Theodor Herzl wrote the first book containing a vision of an independent Jewish state, in which 52 years later, such vision was declared as an official ambition with blessing by the Queen of England. The Jewish including their...

The new Media especially internet and mobile related is growing prominence even as we speak. Surpassing 60% of total population currently engaged in internet literacy and usage is a clear indication that Malaysia too is adapting comfortably towards accommodating screenagers prominence. Undoubtedly what comes together with these new Medias is a whole lot of overloaded entertainment and information. Abundance of entertainment and information avenues has very much influenced individualistic values in choosing a media. In fact, the current trend indicates that there are more individuals who prefer multiple Medias at one time. Inasmuch one remains as a loyal viewer to a TV channel; that doesn’t stop preference towards other channels in mobile and internet medium. Very much so, this era has been going through massive intellectual revolution as opposed to the time when media channels were limited and more focused towards the role as a medium of propaganda. Looking at the exponential trend...
