Salam
I found a very interesting video that offers another point of view which I think very essential in understanding the shape of the world. It might not be 100% true but it has some elements that can spark some thinking and further research on this matter. I myself have ordered books from a well known […]

Salam.
I’ve always felt that I should say something for this post from our esteemed Taufik, but so far hadn’t found the right contents to deliver. Alhamdulillah, I guess watching a video and later discussing it with another friend has provided me with enough inspiration to write here. To save me from constantly making reminders in […]

“But then I must remind myself we are living creatures - we have religious impulses - we must - and yet into what cracks do these impulses flow in a world without religion? It is something I think about every day. Sometimes I think it is the only thing I should be thinking about” Douglas […]

Assalamualaikum.

I read a particular ‘revelatory’ confessional piece from a genius-turned-callgirl. Among the parts that caught my attention was the part about her buying an expensive Gucci dress and handbag (expensive might not be the word, humongously extravagant could fit better). She was very happy about that, and bragged at length about how much she can […]

Assalamualaikum.
“Let’s dash the final 100 metres to Jannah.”
The words kept ringing in my head, long after they were uttered.
Yesterday, I travelled for almost two hours in a train from Manchester to Nottingham, and back again by bus which took almost five hours including transit time, just for a three-hour session with Dr Amaluddin Ahmad organized […]

Hari ini, warga dunia meraikan cinta. Anak yang kasihkan ibu, isteri yang cintakan suami dan jejaka yang merindui dara pujaan lazimnya akan menghadiahkan kad, bunga ataupun sekotak coklat buat insan-insan yang dikasihi ini.
Sambutan Valentine seharusnya dilihat dan dirai dengan memahami pengorbanan seorang individu yang dizalimi kerana perjuangannya dalam mempertahankan prinsip keadilan dan kebebasan manusia.

After almost 10 years ago, the call for reformasi (reform) can still be heard from the streets and fields of Kuala Lumpur.
Indonesia, our nusantara neighbor, did succeed in this reform movement. Soeharto was removed by people power (makal sakti to borrow this phrase from the Malaysian Indian community) in May 1998. Unfortunately, reformasi in Malaysia […]

mereka laung reformasi
pekik-pekikkan revolusi
jalan-jalan raya macet pekat

menyekat orang banyak berarak

aku garu-garu dahi, aku tidak mengerti
aku hanya mahu makan nasi.
 
mereka jerit inflasi
teriak-teriakkan subsidi
tol di lebuh dan lintang
minyak untuk skuter dan motokar
aku usap-usap basikal tua
dan selipar jepun yang lusuh tapaknya
aku hanya mahu beras dan gula
yang tidak pernah-pernah turun harga. 
 
mereka lalak korupsi
tempik-tempikkan hipokrasi
mahu cuci kotak undi
mahu celup hujung […]

There’s a big difference between practicality and indifference. Reading an opinion on the 3rd December edition of SD about how the University Union is not serving the interests of their students and focusing instead on ‘irrelevant’ issues that do not directly serve the interests of ‘average students who do not really care that much’.
How do […]

Shh…
Endless words vomited from your mouth
You write blatantly conspicuous..clamorous
Need not to raise your voice..
Inaudible in the art of inarticulateness..
shh…
standstill undisturbed..unruffled..
Inanimate yet living
vigorous vivacious in mind
Trying to get in control
but…
shh…
Your analysis whisper
Uphold your meticulosity and conscience
Keep your faith..
Act with guts and wisdom..
You’ll fly high in the sky..
Freedom
Actions speak louder than words
Shh..
