Hi Folks,
back to the world of blogging...
General Election no. 13??
Yes, last year there were so many predictions and assumptions that the election would be held right after the Chinese New Year.
As of today, PM Najib has yet to make his call. It seems he is going on the floor to gauge and feel and hear the voices of the 'rakyat' (citizens).
Of course, again it is the prerogative of the Prime Minister to decide and recommend for the dissolution of the Parliament.
The Opposition as usual lead by Anwar Ibrahim is hounding around and aiming for any weaknesses of the current government as a weapon to make the 'rakyat' think twice before giving BN another chance.
Nevertheless, it is still the 'rakyat' to determine what leadership and direction that they want.
If you have yet to register as a 'voter'. Do it NOW.
Cheerios!

The Whitney I know....
Hey folks,
We were all shaken and shocked to know that one of the greatest legends ever in show biz has departed us forever. Yes we are talking about the one and only Whitney Houston.
First time I heard her songs were back in 1985, it was 'Greatest love of All'....and of course from that point on her name was so familiar that it really got me on the dancing streak with 'I wanna dance with Somebody' and 'How will I know'
She was definitely one of the great pop icons of the Eighties and early Nineties. No doubt there was a period that her career didn't went as well, but again hitting her old tracks is still something to recollect the good memories.....
Whitney, we will miss you for the cool and memorable songs that you have left us to enjoy and mesmerize!

Ustaz Don - 'Popular than the Minister'
Hey folks,
Just to keep you on the loop on what I did on Prophet Muhammad's birthday (5 February) , well both my wife and I decided to take a long drive about 70km to the TV Alhijrah event called 'Cinta Masjid' (Love the Mosque).
Well the 'Cinta Masjid' was a way for TV Alhijrah to form better and closer cooperation and relationship with the tv audience and this time it was held at 'Masjid Saidina Hamzah' at Kampung Batu Muda, Kuala Lumpur. By looking at the overwhelming response from the public, no doubt there will be more to come later.
Anyway, what makes us go all the way to this place was simply our main man....Ustaz Don. Yup, we saw that there was going to be recording of his show and thot it would be a good idea to see the man in person.
Saw him for the first time, u definitely know that this guy definitely has the 'aura' and 'charisma' to take the audience away.
It was even interesting that before Ustaz Don came, the honorable Minister in the Prime Minister's department, Dato Seri Jamil Khir Baharom, informed the audience that Ustaz Don is even 'popular than the minister'.
The topic that was presented by Ustaz Don is focusing on our great prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him...

| After the show, fans rushed to meet and greet him
In the end, I managed to shake hands with Ustaz Don, but couldn't get to take a picture with him due to the huge fans and crowds all eager to get closer look at him.
This guy is like a celebrity. No doubt he has already captured many hearts of people (especially Muslims) with his 'down-to-earth' with the easy and approachable interactive style in teaching the important principles and guide of Islam. Amazingly, he has attracted Muslim fans from all walk of life espeicallly as young as 2 years old! He is phenomenal and certainly the man to be watch in the future.
Just in case, you can watch his show on TV Alhijrah from Mondays to Thursdays from 10pm to 1030pm.
Thank you Ustaz, we salute you!

Prophet Muhammad's Birthday (Maulidur Rasul)
Hi Folks,
Today (5 February) is a special day not only a public holiday for the whole of Malaysia and most of Muslim majority countries because it is Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) birthday.
Normally on this big day, special prayers and recitation is recited and read out to remember and love all that Prophet Muhammad has done for all Muslims.
Interestingly, Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) is also known as a great statesman, diplomat, general and this is also eveident in The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History by Michael H. Hart. What is surprising is that Michael Hart put Prophet Muhammad as the number 1 in the ranking of the most influential persons in History. Refer below the top 10 as mentioned by Michael Hart(courtesy of Wikipedia).
1 Muhammad ca. 570–632 Secular and religious leader The central human figure of Islam, regarded by Muslims as a prophet of God and the last messenger. Active as a social reformer, diplomat, merchant, philosopher, orator, legislator, military leader, humanitarian, philanthropist.
2 Isaac Newton 1643–1727 Scientist English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist, and theologian. His law of universal gravitation and three laws of motion laid the groundwork for classical mechanics.
3 Jesus Christ 7–2 BC – AD 26–36 Spiritual leader The central figure of Christianity, revered by Christians as the Son of God and the incarnation of God. Also regarded as a major prophet in Islam.
4 Buddha 563 BC–483 BC Spiritual leader Spiritual teacher and philosopher from ancient India. Founder of Buddhism and is also considered an Avatar of Vishnu in Hinduism.
5 Confucius 551 BC–479 BC Philosopher Chinese thinker and social philosopher, whose teachings and philosophy have deeply influenced Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese and Indonesian thought and life. Founded Confucianism, and influenced Neo-Confucianism and New Confucianism.
6 St. Paul 5–67 Christian apostle One of the most notable of early Christian missionaries, credited with proselytizing and spreading Christianity outside of Palestine (mainly to the Romans) and author of numerous letters of the New Testament of the Bible.
7 Cài Lún 50–121 Political official in imperial China Widely regarded as the inventor of paper and the papermaking process.
8 Johannes Gutenberg 1398–1468 Inventor German printer who invented the mechanical printing press.
9 Christopher Columbus 1451–1506 Explorer Italian navigator, colonizer and explorer whose voyages led to general European awareness of the American continents.
10 Albert Einstein 1879–1955 Scientist German theoretical physicist, best known for his theory of relativity and specifically mass–energy equivalence, expressed by the equation E = mc2.
For all Muslims, we miss Rasullullah (peace be upon him) and for all Muslims let us 'selawat' and recite surah 'Al-Fatihah' and 'Yasin' in honor of the greatest and last prophet on this planet.
Al-Fatihah
