Living the Quran

Al-Anfal (The Spoils of War) Chapter 8: Verse 27 Betraying the Trust "O ye that believe! betray not the trust of Allah and the Messenger, nor misappropriate knowingly things entrusted to you." To abandon the duties God has assigned to the Muslim community is a betrayal of God and His Messenger. The basic issue in the Islamic faith is that of attributing Godhead purely and solely to God alone, following only what has been conveyed to us by His Messenger, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). This basic issue also entails that God's Messenger is the only source to convey what God wants of human beings, and this means that they must follow all his orders and directives. As this includes both conviction and action, the Muslim community, which has declared its belief in God, is warned against abandoning this whole issue. To do so is equal to betraying God and His Messenger. Believers are also warned against betraying the trust they have accepted when they pledged their loyalty to God's Messenger and declared their acceptance of islam. Islam means submission to God. This is not merely a verbal statement, but a complete code of living that must be implemented, even though such implementation faces numerous obstacles and difficulties. It is a code that aims to build human life on the basis of the declaration that there is no deity other than God. The usurpers who tyrannize people and claim sovereignty for themselves must be taken to task. Right and justice must be maintained for all people. Human life must be built entirely on the basis of the divine constitution. All these are aspects of the trust God has placed in the Muslim community. Those who do not fulfil their trust actually betray their pledges to God and His Messenger. Source: "In The Shade of The Quran" - Sayyid Qutb, pp. 113,114

Understanding the Prophet's Life

Stimulating the Intelligence Throughout his mission the Prophet, peace be upon him, sought his Companion's advice, encouraging them to express their opinions and paying them careful attention. Furthermore, the Prophet had evolved a genuine teaching method through which he allowed the Muslims to develop their critical faculties, express their talents, and mature in his presence. He would often ask questions on various subjects and give the answers only after his Companions had thought by themselves and expressed different conjectures. Sometimes, more subtly, he would utter a judgment in a paradoxical form, thereby prompting his listeners to consider the matter more deeply. For example, he once said: "A strong man is not a man who overcomes his enemy!" The Companions mulled this over among themselves, then asked him: "Then who is a strong man?" The Prophet surprised his audience and led them to a deeper understanding of the question with his answer: "A strong man is a man who controls himself when he is angry!" He would sometimes speak figuratively: "Wealth does not lie in the riches you possess!" After the Companions pondered this, Muhammad would elaborate: "True wealth is the wealth of the soul." On occasion the Prophet's statement appeared to contradict common sense or ethics: "Help your brother, whether he is just or unjust!" The Companions could not but wonder about the nature of the help they were to give an unjust brother: how could that be? The Prophet, inverting the perspective, would add: "Prevent him [the unjust brother] from acting unjustly, such is the way for you to help him!" Both by asking questions and by formulating paradoxical or seemingly contradictory statements, the Prophet stimulated his Companions' critical sense and their ability to go beyond mere blind obedience or mechanical mind-destroying imitation. This method developed the intellectual capacities necessary for consultations to be effective. By stimulating their intelligence and giving them opportunities to speak, he exercised a type of leadership that made it possible for his Companions to learn to assert themselves and take initiative.

Blindspot!

Miserliness and Meanness of the Heart Free yourself from miserliness and meanness of the heart. The more humble and polite you are, the more strongly will you believe that everything belongs to Allah and that whatever you give now shall be returned in the form of a much greater reward. The more you believe that if you were to stop charity it would come to haunt you, the easier will it be for you to be magnanimous. The more your heart is filled with the Greatness of Allah, the more generous your heart will become. The greater your ability to negate ego, status, arrogance, vanity, wealth, and the more you feel that you have not discharged your responsibilities to the full - the happier you will become. Give away your wealth today, give it away readily, sacrifice your self-esteem, cleanse yourself of the love of this world and Allah will expand your heart. He shall make you so benevolent that you will have made yourself deserving of the Paradise whose expanse will embrace the heavens and the earth.

Living the Quran

Al-Mumtahana (The Tested Woman) Chapter 60: Verse 8 Mutual Respect "Allah forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you not for (your) Faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them: for Allah loveth those who are just." Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, had always retained very strong ties with the members of different clans and with his kin who had not accepted Islam. His uncle Abu Talib, who he loved so much and whom he accompanied until he breathed his last, was one such example. Another uncle, Abbas, remained by the Prophet's side even though he had not yet converted. Muhammad's trust in him was tremendous, and he did not hesitate to confide in him or have him take part in private meetings involving the future of the community. His remaining a polytheist never prevented the Prophet from showing him the greatest respect and deepest confidence in situations where his very life was at risk. It was a similar attitude of trust that had made it possible for Muslims to emigrate to Abyssinia, under protection of a king whom the Prophet trusted even though he was not a Muslim. This attitude is to be found throughout the Prophet's life: he established his relationships in the name of trust and the respect of principles, and not exclusively on the basis of similar religious affiliations. His Companions had understood it as well, and they did not hesitate to develop solid ties with non-Muslims in the name of kinship or friendship, on the basis of mutual respect and trust, even in perilous situations. Thus, Um Salamah, who had been separated from her husband, found herself alone with her son on her way to Medina. Uthman ibn Talhah, who was not a Muslim, offered to escort and protect her until she reached the place where her husband was. Um Salamah was often to tell this story, always praising Uthman ibn Talhah's noble character. Examples of this nature abound, and neither the Prophet nor the other Muslims ever restricted their social and human relations to their co-religionists. Later, the Quran was to establish the rightfulness and the principle of such relationships formed on the basis of mutual respect. Source: "In The Footsteps of the Prophet" - Tariq Ramadan, pp. 76,77

Understanding the Prophet's Life

Daughters in Islam If it was not for the commands of Allah, stated in the Quran, and the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), women would not have been given the preference over men. Allah's Prophet was reported as saying: “Be fair and just in terms of the gifts you offer your children. If I was to give preference to any (gender over the other) I would have preferred females over males (in terms of gifts).” [Bayhaqi] Moreover, Allah's Prophet concentrated throughout his teachings on giving more care and attention to females in general over the male. Females must be treated with kindness, respect, honor, dignity, integrity and their needs must be looked after. Allah's Prophet said: “He whosoever has three daughters, or three sisters, or two daughters or two sisters, and is very kind to them, demonstrating nice company to them and fears Allah in their treatment, will enter Paradise (as a result of his good actions to these females).” [Abu Dawood & Tirmidhi] Islamic laws and teachings mandate that parents raise their children in the best manners and offer them a sound, beneficial and healthy education. Ibn Omar (may Allah be pleased with him), reported Allah's Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as saying: “The most sinful of you are those who neglect those whom he is responsible to take care of.” [Abu Dawood & Nasaiee] Source: "Women In the Shade of Islam" - Abdulrahman Al-Sheha, pp. 33, 34

Vocabulary of the Quran

Shafa'at Root word Shafa'a: To make even that which was odd, make double, pair, make a thing to be one of the pair, adjoin a thing to its like, provide a thing which was alone with another, protect, mediate, intercede, be an intercessor. Shaf'un: Pair, Double. Shafa'at: The word has the significance of likeness and similarity, also it means interceding or praying for a person that he may be shown favour. As he is connected with intercessor, it also implies that the petitioner or the intercessor is a person of higher position than the one for whom he pleads and also has deep connection with the person with whom he intercedes. The significance of Shafa'at is that it is an institution of a way which another imitates so that the latter joins himself to his model. Thus Shafa'at has twofold significance, firstly it enables a person to walk in the ways of righteousness by imitating a model and secondly it affords him a shelter from the evil consequences of certain weaknesses which he is unable to overcome by himself and requires the prayer and support of an innocent person. The person in whose favour Shafa'at is sought must generally be a good person who has made an honest effort to win the pleasure of God (21:28), only he has fallen into sin, in a moment of weakness. Shafa'at can only be made with God's express permission (2:255; 10:3). It is another form of repentance signifying reforming a broken connection or tightening up a loose one. So whereas the door of repentance becomes closed with death the door of Shafa'at remains open. Moreover Shafa'at is a means of the manifestation of God's mercy and He is not a judge or magistrate but Master. There is nothing to stop Him from extending His mercy to whomsoever He pleases. The root with its different forms has been used in the Quran about 31 times. Compiled From: "Dictionary of the Holy Quran" - Abdul Mannan Omar, pp. 293, 295

Living the Quran

Al-Tawba (Repentance) Chapter 9: Verse 111 The Supreme Transaction: "Verily God bought from the believers their selves and their possessions in exchange for Paradise." People ask: “Everything will leave our hands, perish, and be lost. Maybe there is a way to make it eternal, to preserve it.?” While engaged in such thoughts, they suddenly hear the Quran’s heavenly voice say: “There is a beautiful and easy way that offers five advantages or profits.” What is this way? To sell the trust - your body, spirit, and heart, and so on, as well as your outer and inner senses (e.g., sight, taste, intelligence, imagination.) – to its real owner. The resulting five profits are: First Profit: Transient property becomes everlasting. This waning life, when given to the Eternal and Self-Subsistent Being of Majesty and spent for His sake, is transmuted into permanence and gives everlasting fruits. Second Profit: The price paid is Paradise. Third Profit: The value of each bodily limb and sense is increased a thousand fold. For example, if you sell your eyes to its All-Seeing Maker and use it on His behalf and within His limits, it rises to the rank of a reader of the Great Book of the Universe, a witness of the miracles of His creation, a blessed bee sucking on the blossoms of Mercy in the garden of this world. Fourth Profit: If you do not rely on the All-Powerful One of Majesty, trust in and submit to Him with full confidence, your conscience remains troubled by vain torment, pain and regret, all of which destroy your understanding. Fifth Profit: Those who unveil the true nature of things and experience the truth agree that the reward for worshipping and glorifying God performed by your limbs, senses, and faculties will be given at the time of greatest need, in the form of Paradise’s fruits. If you refuse, you suffer the following five-fold loss: First Loss: Your beloved property and off-spring, your adored self and its caprice, your foolishly loved youth and life all are replaced by pain and sin. Second Loss: You are punished for betraying the trust, for you wrong yourself by using the most precious tools on the most worthless objects. Third Loss: By debasing your precious faculties to a level much inferior to animals, you insult and transgress God’s Wisdom. Fourth Loss: In your helplessness and poverty, you shoulder life’s heavy burden and continually groan under the blows of transience and separation. Fifth Loss: You convert the Compassionate One’s fair gifts, meant to be used for laying the foundations of everlasting life and blessedness in the Hereafter, into ugliness. Why do many people not want to sell? Is it so hard? By no means! The resulting burdens are not hard. The limits of the permissible are broad and adequate for your desire, and so you do not need to indulge in what is forbidden. The duties imposed by God are light and few. To be His servant and soldier is an honour beyond description. Source: "Humanity, Belief, and Islam" - Said Nursi pp. 40-48

Understanding the Prophet's Life

Sunnah - An integral source of Shariah In today’s day and age, it is not rare to find a Muslim (or one who claims to be one), who might accept the Quran as a source of divine guidance, yet have doubts about the status of the Sunnah. And it is this confusion that leads these people away from the Quranic message, itself. For, we have to realize that a text can only come alive when someone lives by that text, to its fullest with the proper understanding of it. Now since this text (the Quran) is of divine origin, who better to exemplify its message than the bearer of the message himself. The Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him) was not a mere postman who delivered the message and disappeared. Acting under divine guidance, he not only delivered the message but launched a movement. He changed man and society; founded a community, established a state; and spent every moment of his Prophethood in guiding, directing and leading his followers. His life example of living by God’s guidance, consisting of whatever he did or said or approved, is the Sunnah. The authority of the Sunnah is firmly rooted in the Quran and in the historically continuous consensus of the Muslim Ummah. The explicit statements in the Quran in this respect are many. Every Prophet was sent to be obeyed (al-Nisa 4:64). The Prophet Muhammad is the last and perfect model (Al Ahjab 33:21, 40). To obey him is to obey God (al Nisa 4:80). To follow and obey the Prophet is the only way one can love his God and be loved by Him and have one's sins forgiven (Ale-'Imran 3: 31-32). All matters which cause differences or disputes are to be referred to God and His Prophet as the final authority (al-Nisa' 4: 59). No one can be truly a believer unless he accepts the Prophet as the final judge in all affairs and submits to his decisions, willingly and free from all misgivings (al-Nisa' 4: 65). The Prophet has the authority to permit and prohibit (al-A'raf 7: 157). And, finally, whatever the Prophet gives must be taken; whatever he forbids, must be avoided (al-Hashr 59: 7).

Blindspot!

Assessing Spiritual State Should a person wish to know whether they are rising or falling in their deen (religion), they should look at how his or her state and conduct had been a month or a year ago. If he finds that they are better than his present state and conduct, he should know that he is descending into degradation; whereas if she finds that that her present state and conduct are better, she should know that she is rising and improving. It has been handed down that "he who finds that his day resembles the previous day has been cheated, and he who finds that his day is worse than the previous day is accursed". Accursed here means remote from a particular and specially accorded mercy. He who is not increasing is diminishing. To explain, if when thinking about previous days, you feel that you then had no desire for the world, were eager for the hereafter, scrupulously avoided doubtful things, were quick to good actions, quick to obedience, remote from transgressions, and by comparison are now no better or are to any extent worse, then know that you are going down, deteriorating in the deen, in your aspiration for God, and in striving for the hereafter. You should then feel apprehensive and fearful and then begin to show resolution and exert effort. If, on the other hand, you find that you have more aspiration and eagerness than before, then thank God the Exalted even more, remember His gifts and grace, and be ever attentive to them. You should not feel pleased with yourself, nor think that it is due to your own ability and power, for as God has said, "Had it not been for the favour of God upon you, and His mercy, not one of you would ever have grown pure; but God purifies whom He wills, and God is all-Hearing, all-Knowing".

FINDING YIN - ending line -

SOURCE: UTUSAN MALAYSIA ONLINE Oleh: SYED MOHD.

Pertemuan penuh bermakna itu menjadi kenyataan selepas seorang wanita Myanmar, Noor Shida Nur Islam, 27, yang menjaga Yin sepanjang tempoh kehilangannya, memulangkan semula budak itu sejurus ternampak poster pencariannya pagi ini. Detik-detik pertemuan bersejarah Shamsul Ghazali Shamsuddin, 34, dan isterinya, Nor Amizah Ahmad, 25, dengan Yin berlangsung dalam suasana penuh kegembiraan bercampur hiba di rumah seorang rakan mereka di Setiawangsa, di sini, kira-kira pukul 6 petang. Ketika itu, kedua-dua mereka tidak dapat menahan kerinduan masing-masing lalu terus memeluk dan mencium anak sulung mereka itu yang wajahnya sedikit berubah kerana kepalanya dibotakkan. “Kali pertama kami nampak semula Yin, kami terus pegang, kami peluk dia kuat-kuat, cium dia sambil air mata mengalir kerana gembira dan kesyukuran... susah nak gambarkan kegembiraan kami dengan kata-kata. “Bayangkanlah, kami memang tak sangka akan jumpa semula Yin. Tetapi berkat doa dan sembahyang hajat kami dan umat Islam lain di seluruh negara, akhirnya Alhamdulillah, Allah makbulkan doa kita semua. “Terima kasih rakyat Malaysia. Semua ini berlaku selepas doa dan pertolongan anda, kami sangat bersyukur.’’ Itulah kata-kata penuh emosi yang diluahkan oleh Shamsul dan Nor Amizah kepada pemberita ketika ditanya mengenai detik-detik pertemuan semula mereka dengan Yin di Ibu Pejabat Polis Daerah (IPD) Dang Wangi, di sini, malam tadi. Episod pertemuan semula Yin dengan keluarganya bermula dengan panggilan telefon suami Noor Shida, Mohd. Abdul Rahman Ali Rahman, 37, kepada seorang rakan Shamsul, Mohd. Baharuddin Hassan, yang tinggal di Setiawangsa tengah hari ini memaklumkan mengenai Yin ada dalam jagaan isterinya. Apabila Mohd. Baharuddin menemui Mohd. Abdul Rahman di rumahnya di Sentul Pasar, kira-kira pukul 2.20 petang, dia kemudian menghubungi Shamsul yang ketika itu sedang berada di Ipoh untuk memaklumkan penemuan Yin di situ. Selepas mengesahkan budak itu adalah anaknya berdasarkan nyanyian lagu Twinkle Twinkle Little Star oleh Yin menerusi telefon, kanak-kanak itu kemudian dibawa ke rumah Mohd. Baharuddin di Setiawangsa sementara menunggu kedatangan Shamsul dan isterinya dari Ipoh. Mereka sekeluarga kemudiannya berkumpul di IPD Dang Wangi malam tadi bagi sama-sama menyertai sidang akhbar Ketua Polis Negara, Tan Sri Musa Hassan berhubung penemuan semula Yin. Hadir sama ialah Pengarah Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah Bukit Aman, Datuk Christopher Wan Soo Kee dan Pemangku Ketua Polis Kuala Lumpur Senior Asisten Komisioner II Zul Hasnan Najib Baharudin. Musa dalam sidang akhbar itu berkata, dengan penemuan semula Yin dan ketiadaan unsur-unsur jenayah, maka pihak polis akan menutup kes berkenaan. Tambahnya, Yin yang kelihatan sihat akan dihantar ke hospital untuk pemeriksaan lanjut. Mengenai ganjaran berjumlah RM15,000 yang ditawarkan oleh pelbagai pihak kepada sesiapa yang membantu sehingga menemukan semula Yin, beliau memberitahu, ia akan diuruskan oleh Ketua Polis Daerah Dang Wangi, Asisten Komisioner Zulkarnain Abd. Rahman. “Sepatutnya kalau mengikut apa yang diperkatakan sebelum ini, pasangan tersebut (Mohd. Abdul Rahman dan Noor Shida) memang layak memperoleh ganjaran itu,” ujarnya. Terdahulu, Musa memberitahu, Yin dijumpai pasangan Noor Shida dan Mohd. Abdul Rahman pada 31 Mac lalu ketika cuba menyeberangi jalan berdekatan kompleks membeli-belah Sogo kira-kira pukul 3 petang. Katanya, bimbang keselamatan kanak-kanak tersebut, Noor Shida kemudian memimpin tangan Yin dan menunggu kira-kira sejam berdekatan kompleks tersebut. “Setelah tiada sesiapa menuntut Nazrin, dia kemudiannya dibawa ke rumah mereka di Sentul Pasar dan selama ini mereka tak tahu budak itu hilang dan sedang dicari kerana di rumah mereka tiada televisyen. “Sehinggalah pagi ini, ketika menjual buku di Jalan Masjid India, Noor Shida bertemu seorang yang mengedarkan poster kehilangan Nazrin menyebabkannya terkejut melihat gambar itu yang sama dengan budak yang ada di rumahnya lalu memaklumkan perkara itu kepada suaminya,” katanya. Dalam kejadian di kompleks membeli-belah di Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman di sini kira-kira pukul 2 petang 31 Mac lalu, Yin hilang ketika bapa kanak-kanak itu sedang mencuba pakaian di bilik persalinan, manakala ibunya sedang mengawasi adik Yin, Mohd. Nazmi, 4. Ekoran itu, satu gerakan besar-besaran dilancarkan mulai 6 April lalu untuk mencari Yin termasuk melibatkan parti-parti politik dan badan-badan bukan kerajaan (NGO) dan orang perseorangan. Di samping itu, pelbagai pihak tampil menawarkan ganjaran kepada sesiapa yang menemui Yin dengan jumlah terakhirnya RM15,000 termasuk sumbangan MCA (RM2,000), Persatuan Pengguna Islam Malaysia (RM2,000) dan dua usahawan dari ibu negara dan Port Dickson masing-masing RM6,000 dan RM5,000.

Pelaburan saham melalui Internet haram – Majlis Fatwa

Something to ponder about. I will post the official fatwa once publish in Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan website. You can visit their website at http://www.e-fatwa.gov.my.

KUALA LUMPUR 12 April – Ketika wujud gelombang besar penyertaan orang ramai dalam skim-skim pelaburan Internet yang menjanjikan pulangan berlipat ganda, aktiviti itu hari ini difatwakan sebagai haram di sisi Islam.

Keputusan Mesyuarat Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan Ke-77 di Kuala Terengganu itu sudah pasti memberi kesan kepada aktiviti pelaburan melibatkan tidak kurang 500,000 orang Islam termasuk golongan kenamaan dan profesional berpangkat Tan Sri dan Datuk.

Majlis berkenaan membuat keputusan itu terhadap semua bentuk pelaburan Internet termasuk skim cepat kaya SwissCash yang kononnya diuruskan Swiss Mutual Fund kerana skim-skim itu secara jelas mengandungi unsur riba.

Dengan nilai pelaburan mencecah RM1 bilion termasuk kira-kira RM200 juta yang dilaburkan oleh 50,000 pelabur dalam skim SwissCash, tidak kurang 50 jenis pelaburan Internet kini giat melobi orang ramai melabur dengan janji pulangan sehingga 300 peratus.

Selepas SwissCash dan beberapa lain malap, skim terbaru yang mendapat sambutan hebat ketika ini ialah I Love You Forever menerusi laman web www.iluf.biz yang menjanjikan pulangan sehingga RM21,000 bagi pelaburan pokok RM800 untuk tempoh 12 bulan dan www.ugifund.com yang dilancarkan hari ini.

Pengerusi Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan, Profesor Datuk Dr. Abdul Shukor Husin yang ditemui pemberita selepas mesyuarat itu memberitahu, sebarang pelaburan yang menjamin keuntungan secara tetap seperti ditawarkan SwissCash adalah haram.

Menurutnya, atas alasan itu, Islam tidak membenarkan umatnya melabur dalam segala bentuk pelaburan seumpama itu.

‘‘Ada banyak pelaburan alternatif disediakan kepada pelabur yang berlandaskan Islam dan boleh disertai oleh umat Islam,’’ katanya.

Berdasarkan siasatan Utusan Malaysia, pelaburan Internet pilihan rakyat Malaysia ialah skim yang mendakwa menjana wang dalam pasaran hadapan komoditi seperti minyak, gas, perladangan dan emas.

Terdapat pelaburan Internet seperti SwissCash yang mendakwa kononnya aktiviti mereka ialah pelaburan offshore yang tidak tertakluk dalam bidang kuasa perundangan termasuk Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM).

Jenis pelaburan lain yang didakwa sebagai asas aktiviti skim pelaburan Internet ialah perniagaan mata wang asing selain melabur dalam pasaran-pasaran saham luar negara.

Sebelum ini, media mendedahkan pelaburan skim cepat kaya SwissCash yang tampil dengan pelan pelaburan tanpa had dan jaminan keuntungan lebih meyakinkan yang setakat ini sudah menelan kira-kira RM190 juta wang daripada lebih 50,000 pelabur Malaysia.

Kutipan wang deposit awam secara haram itu beroperasi dengan modus operandi berasaskan transaksi Telegraphic Transfer (TT) di bank-bank tempatan dan urusan pelaburan menerusi Internet.

Ekoran itu, BNM membuat kenyataan bahawa skim SwissCash adalah menyalahi undang-undang negara kerana mengambil deposit secara haram.

Teknologi

Selain SwissCash, terdapat lebih 50 skim cepat kaya menggunakan kemudahan teknologi maklumat dan komunikasi (ICT) didalangi beberapa sindiket yang menawarkan pelbagai bentuk pelan pelaburan menerusi alam maya Internet.

Antara skim berkenaan ialah

www.ABFund.biz;

www.WinliFund.com;

www.empay.com;

www.buyebarrel.us;

www.eaindex.com;

www.fical.us;

www.GlobalForex.us;

www.Arabic.com;

www.eracapital.com;

www.e-investpro.com;

www.GG-trade.com

www.smartindex.net.

Dengan membuka laman web www.jutawan.com, pelayar boleh mendapatkan senarai keseluruhan skim-skim pelaburan Internet atau istilah globalnya dikenali sebagai High Yield Investment Programme (HYIP).

Modal pelaburan dikira berasaskan nilai mata wang Amerika Syarikat (ASD) berdasarkan 3.80 bagi setiap Ringgit Malaysia.

Dengan pelaburan serendah AS$20 (RM76), skim-skim itu menjanjikan pulangan lumayan minimum dua peratus sehari atau 60 peratus sebulan yang dibayar kepada para pelabur selama 100 hari.

Pulangan itu jauh lebih besar dan terlalu tinggi jika dibandingkan dengan kadar pulangan yang ditawarkan institusi perbankan iaitu tiga peratus sebulan bagi deposit tetap atau lapan peratus bagi pasaran modal.

Dengan pelan pelaburan yang menarik menggunakan laman web yang berpusat di Amerika Syarikat (AS), penganjur yang sebenarnya didalangi orang tempatan berjaya mengabui mata para pelabur.

FINDING YIN

another 14 year old girl missing.. SOURCE malay mail SHE was never an irresponsible daughter — whatever she does, no matter how simple, Leong Hui Ting would always inform her mother. So when the 14-year-old student of SMK Pandan Mewah failed to return home after school on April 10, her mother, Lai Foon Leng, feared the worst. Speaking at the MCA Public Services and Complaint Department, the 46-year-old tailor said her niece, who attends the same school as Leong, informed her of her daughter’s disappearance at 7pm on that day. Lai said her niece realised that Leong, who usually takes the same van to and from school, was missing after she arrived home. “My son and I drove to the school to look for her,Lai said. “We were there by 7.10pm but there was no sign of her. The next day, I found out from her teachers that my daughter did not attend school that day.“Some of her classmates told me that they overheard a male classmate telling my daughter that ‘he will bring her back’ later,Lai said. “I called the boy and he admitted that they had gone out but he dropped her off at the school gate at 7pm. He claimed that he does not know what happened after that.“She left behind her MyKad and probably has no money with her,said Lai. “She doesn’t have a cell phone so I have no idea where she is. She is the apple of my eye. Please, help me find her.Those who have seen Leong or know her whereabouts can call the department at 03-21615678.

Guarantors a must for study loans

2007/04/09 Source: NST

ALOR GAJAH: The National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) has taken measures to ensure students repay their loans.

Higher Education Minister Datuk Mustapa Mohamed said the steps included tightening loan procedures and sending summonses to those who failed to pay up. "From this month, we require the loans to be backed by guarantors. "There was no need for guarantors in the past but from now onwards, parents can be the guarantors," he said to reporters after launching the Higher Education Ministry Day with the Rakyat at Kampung Bukit Bulat, Machap here, yesterday. Mustapa was commenting on a New Sunday Times report yesterday that students who had taken loans from the PTPTN, the Public Service Department and Mara owed RM12 billion. Bernama quoted him as saying that from January next year, those who applied for loans must have savings in the national education savings scheme. The minimum savings amount should be RM500 for those with an income of RM2,000 a month. "We find that parents do not prepare for their children’s education. If they have some savings, they will not need to obtain full loans," he said. He said the PTPTN had an annual fund of RM2 billion a year while the number of borrowers was about 150,000 a year. Meanwhile, in Kuala Lumpur, his deputy Datuk Ong Tee Keat said the ministry preferred not to "chase the students with a stick". He said: "We want them to be more proactive in repaying their dues." The money they had borrowed, he said, belonged to the public and they would be depriving other students of a loan by not making prompt repayments. Ong said this after opening the Kampung Pandan community centre.

Ramai lulusan perubatan tidak jadi doktor

Source: Utusan Malaysia 3 April 2007 PUTRAJAYA 2 April – Sebanyak 150 pelajar atau 10 peratus daripada 1,500 siswazah perubatan yang menamatkan pengajian mereka mengambil keputusan untuk tidak meneruskan kerjaya sebagai seorang doktor perubatan bertauliah pada setiap tahun. Timbalan Menteri Kesihatan, Datuk Dr. Abd. Latiff Ahmad berkata, keputusan tersebut dibuat kerana mereka tidak menyangka kerjaya sebagai seorang doktor bertauliah memerlukan komitmen yang mendalam, selain tekanan kerja yang teruk. Beliau berkata, ia juga mungkin disebabkan faktor usia di kalangan pelajar berkenaan yang terlalu muda ketika mereka berjaya menamatkan pengajian perubatan masing-masing. ‘‘Keputusan tersebut dibuat selepas pelajar berkenaan melalui latihan praktikal di mana-mana hospital atau klinik kesihatan milik kerajaan seluruh negara. ‘‘Ini kerana semasa latihan berkenaan, para pelajar didedahkan dengan suasana dan budaya kerja seorang doktor walaupun belum ditauliahkan oleh kerajaan,” katanya. Beliau berkata demikian pada sidang akhbar selepas menyaksikan majlis menandatangani Memorandum Perjanjian Penggunaan Kemudahan Kesihatan di Hospital/Klinik di bawah Kementerian Kesihatan antara kementerian itu dengan Universiti Malaya (UM), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) dan Allianze College of Medical Science (ACMC) di sini, hari ini. Turut hadir Timbalan Naib Canselor UM, Prof. Dr. Amin Jalaluddin; Dekan Fakulti Perubatan UKM, Prof. Datuk Dr. Lokman Saim dan Pengerusi ACMC, Datuk Dr. Zainuddin Wazir. Dr. Abd Latiff memberitahu, walaupun peratusannya itu tidak begitu serius tetapi tindakan pelajar berkenaan dilihat telah mempersia-siakan sokongan dan bantuan yang kerajaan berikan sepanjang tempoh pengajian mereka. ‘‘Tetapi jika keputusan itu dibuat sebelum atau semasa pengajian, kita mungkin boleh menggantikan tempat mereka dengan pelajar lain yang berminat,” katanya. Sehubungan itu, beliau berkata, kementerian menyambut baik langkah Jabatan Perkhidmatan Awam (JPA) mendedahkan bakal pelajar perubatannya terhadap suasana kerja seorang doktor selama tiga hari yang bermula tahun lalu. Ini kerana, tambahnya, bakal pelajar perubatan perlu memahami budaya dan suasana kerja seorang doktor sebelum meneruskan pengajiannya itu. ‘‘Kita mahu pelajar perubatan yang benar-benar mahu menjadi seorang doktor dan bukannya mereka yang sekadar dipengaruhi oleh desakan pihak lain,” katanya.

My first TT (time trial)

Another event I completed last sunday.. alhamdulillah. Aini Woke up at 5am for the TT. Gedebuk gedebak semua, got out of the house at 6am. Stopped at the petrol station for fuel. From Semenyih town, there were 6 cars in front of us making the left turn at the traffic light, heading to Tekala waterfalls. We thought they must have been kaki beskal as well. Suddenly at the Nirvana Memorial park, ALL of them turned left! We looked at each other n smiled. Alamak. Diorang nak pegi kubur rupanya. It must be the time when they clean the graves, we thought. 10 mins later, we reached the car park. Saw Harry n wife.. Harry was one of the marshalls that day. Reported myself to Adrian, who greeted me with "So this is Bola Dua Api!" Not Bola Dua Api lah.. it's Bola Bola Api! Hehehe.. The goodies were commendable for a free registration race - t shirt, one Powerbar Triple Treat(which hubby gobbled down like Cadbury's Dairy Milk choccy bar) and 2 cans of drinks. I told hubby to take his goodies since he's already registered but he's embarassed to do so. Race started at about 7.35am. Mel and Adele from QR were the timekeepers. Mel came up to me saying, "When I saw your name in the list, I thought, it can't be you. But it turned out IT IS YOU!" Yes. I just joined the bandwagon n my bike still looked new due to little mileage on the bike. The smallest numbers started first(i.e. orang2 yang kayuh selow), n I was about the 10th person to start. I deliberately set my odometer to show only distance n my speed coz I didn't want to pressure myself. Janji habissss.. We were released every 1 minute. One km into the route, I was already feeling the brunt of not cycling for the last one month! We were greeted by a steady hill climb which lasted at least 1km! Gilak! At that moment, I looked at my odometer n I was going 8km per hr! Even on a bad day up the hills in Putrajaya, I could climb at 13km per hr! This was crazy man! Full article is here. Pics: The deadly route Warming up. Pagi2 buta dah ada kat situ.. kata nak start kul 7 pagi... With Mrs Harry Masa ni tengah suffer.. tapi nampak photographer, terus buat2 macho! :P

KLIM 10k race report

hehe.. sorry.. advertise diri sendiri kat sini :) Hopefully more runners will come from Taiping batch 9495! Aini MY FIRST 10 K - taken from here Can we fix it? YES WE CAN! I woke up for KLIM at 5am n determined to run my 10k event. A stiff neck has been plaguing me since wednesday. I'm not sure whether the swim or my lousy pillow was the cause of it. Had a bath n woke up hubby to send me. Got out of the hse at 5.40, stopped at 7-11 to buy Gatorade n Mars bar - post-run snack. Arrived at the carpark near lake gardens at 6.10am and walked to Dataran. Put my stuff at the designated area n started warming up. Stretched a bit, ran a bit. Then checked in near the starting line. A few minutes in the starting box, the announcer said, 4 runner from 42k were approaching the starting line. The marathon started at 4.30.. which meant that they finish less than 2:30 hrs! At 7 am, we were released from the starting line. There were so many ppl that I can only run properly 20 seconds later. Not far from the start was an easy slope n then was the roundabout near KTM. Right after the roundabout was a flyover! Man, I was reduced to a very very small stride(if I can even call it a stride) n many were already walking. NO WALKING was the order of the day, for me at least. Breathing was every 2 steps. Somehow, my heart rate gone haywire, probably due to the muscle relaxant pill that I took the night before. Muscle relaxant? What was I thinking??! The doc gave me the drug for my aching muscles but I think, it has an effect on my heart(heart is made up of muscles) n my guess was my heart was working extra hard to pump blood in my body. Why was I so clever to take the pill the night before???!! The rest of the run was a struggle for me. It was a juggling act, if I can call it that. My legs were OK, back didn't hurt, but my neck was the main problem. It was so bad that it actually caused a headache N just imagine having to run 10k with a splitting headache. Run too fast, my heart would be pounding too fast n my headache was so bad that I can only half-open my left eye. Dalam hati, This is the last run that I'm going to enter.. no more after this!(Hubby would be happy to hear this) Especially not when I am experiencing crazy headache n a stiff neck like this. At the first water station, I took a cup of water n splashed it to my face. Lega. A few times on the run, I drank Gatorade while running. I was already behind the pack n stopping for a drink will slow me down even more. One guy was taunting me about the bottle in my hand. I told him, just in case they don't provide any water, at least I know that I'd be OK. Hehehe(SMART tunnel run sounds familiar?) In front of Westin, I was beat already. Kept looking at the signboards.. Bila la nak sampai Dataran ni? In front of Sogo, I asked one guy, Do u know how far along is Dataran from here? He said, I think about 1, 2km away. I looked at my watch n said, it's late already(my watch was showing 1:08 and cut off was 1:30). He said, Just enjoy the run, janji habis! Yeah true. As long as you finish, u are already a winner in your own right. The longest long run that I've done was 80 minutes. About 500m to finish line, it was already 1:20! 500m more to go! I thought of sprinting but the headache was too much to handle, so I'd better stick to my pace. I was afraid that if I go any faster, I'd faint before reaching the finish line. 100m to finish line, I had to stifle my tears. I could see the finish line from where I was running. It was overwhelming, to think that I had a slip in the bathroom 10 days ago, running while nursing a stiff neck n sore shoulder muscles and a deadly headache. I managed to finish in 1:25. I survived, Alhamdulillah! Back home, I showed my medal to my family at the dinner table(my parents were around). Hubby didn't look too impressed(probably controlling his happiness for his wife HAHA I wish), but my dad was ecstatic. The gem of the day surprisingly came from my mom's mouth: "Ada la yg ikut jejak ayah macam ni.." My dad was active during his youth, in athletics n sports of almost all kinds. N he would always bring a medal or a cup home after his matches. There's a cupboard full of trophies n medals at home n a few of my medals n trophies in the cupboard too(from my netball n sprinting days). My dad was smiling from ear to ear during lunch. He kept on asking me, "U ran 10k? How long did it take u?" I told him, "Normally I could do it in 1:10 but I wasn't feeling too good today, so my timing was 1:25." Then he asked me, "What's the next running event after this?" Aik! Is he planning to run 10k too?? C'mon ayah! We can run together!

Malaysians pay price for free-spending

Something to think about.....

source: nstp online [click here for details]

18 Mar 2007 Patrick Sennyah

---

MORE Malaysians are being declared bankrupt. And 40 per cent of bankruptcies is the result of failure to repay personal or business loans and credit card abuse.

"Up to February, there were 2,265 cases. Last year, there were 13,590 cases," said Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk M. Kayveas.

Based on a study conducted by Universiti Malaya, he said it was worrying that some of the credit card defaulters declared bankrupt were aged between 20 and 30.

After credit card and persoanl loan defaulters, housing and car loans defaulters made up 25 per cent of bankruptcies followed by guarantors (21 per cent) and the rest were defaulters of scholarships and stock exchange losses.

According to the National Insolvency Department, a cumulative total of 153,676 bankruptcy cases have been recorded with them.

The total debt of these outstanding payments amounted to more than RM300 billion. Credit card debts stood at RM20 billion.

"Some people have at least three credit cards with an accumulated spending limit of more than 15 times their earning capacity," said Kayeas.

The minimum debt to initiate a bankruptcy is RM30,000, following a revision to the Bankruptcy Act 1967 in October 2003.

Kayveas said a credit card holder would get into serious trouble when the card was used for cash advances.

"The problem is many do not realise the interest rate for cash advances is very high. Within months, this can snowball into a large amount."

He said the fact that a person could get a credit card or personal loan so easily these days was worrying.

"In earlier times, a person would have to earn at least RM24,000 per annum to qualify for a credit card.

"These days, someone earning RM1,000 a month can get a card."

Kayveas said this was worrying considering a fresh graduate earned about RM1,200 and could have three credit cards with a credit limit of RM20,000.

"Though those aged between 41-50 form the largest group of bankrupts, followed by the 31-40 group, it is unacceptable for someone under 30 to be declared a bankrupt."

He urged banks and financial institutions to be more stringent in extending credit.

"An increasing number of banks is publicising their personal loans and how easy it is to obtain one.

"Banks should be more meticulous in issuing these loans and credit cards considering that some people abuse these facilities."

There are nine million credit card holders nationwide.

A bankrupt will have his passport impounded by the Immigration Department and his bank account frozen.

Meanwhile, a senior bank official said it was up to a bank to issue a credit card or extend a personal loan.

"We have to check a person’s creditworthiness and then decide if he is eligible."

The bank officer did acknowledge that there was stiff competition among banks and some adopted relaxed rules in giving loans and credit cards.
