OMAR ONG AND PETRONAS

Here is an extract from two articles I read about former Petronas scholar (who breached his Petronas contract) and former aide to Najib Tun Razak. His name? Omar Ong..

"Why are we ready to gamble Petronas in his hand?

Petronas is a major asset of the nation and manges the nation's oil reserve and foreign exploration. It has a wealth of human resources and experience within its fold. It has its own succssion plan and there should not be any queue jumping from outside the organisation.

The problem with the worldview of people like Omar Ong is their tendency to be fascinated with what's fashionable of the day and not ready to defy convention and norms.

When Petronas was established by Tengku Tan Sri Razaleigh Hamzah, Malaysia defied the norms set by the Seven Sisters Oil Companies of the world.

The country resisted the pressure to follow the rules and terms laid down by the major oil companies and its backing superpower. That brevity and strong sense of patriotism had enabled Malaysia to have "real ownership" of its oil wealth and the money plowed back to develop the nation.

Otherwise, Petronas would be in the boondogs like Indonesia's Pertamina today.

Placing personalities like Omar Ong, with linked and association with Khairy, Tingkat 4 and their network of corporate freeloaders pervading every Government linked Companies in the country, is that they are DEVOID of any sense of patiotism and over awed with the western corporate thinking without pondering a glimpse of the bigger national agenda.."

from http://anotherbrickinwall.blogspot.com/2009/09/omar-ong-slipped-into-petronas.html

Opinion of concern was also expressed by 'the unspinners,'
"Kami percaya Omar Ong amat cekap bercakap, berhujah dan tidak kurang mengampu orang besar-besar. Maka dia mudah dikagumi. Orang yang hebat depan orang besar tapi depan orang biasa sombong dan bisa dalam kata-kata adalah orang yang bermuka-muka dan tidak ikhlas. Seringkali orang sedemikian adalah bahaya kerana ada agenda sendiri.

Apakah karakter sebenar Omar? Maka perlulah dia diselidiki halus-halus latarbelakangnya dan tidak diambil enteng. Tanya pada kawannya dan juga musuhnya. Tanya pada rakan bekerja, biznes dan pesaingnya. Tanya pada rakan sesekolah, seUniversiti, kaum keluarga dan terutama rangkaian sahabat peribadi Omar. Baru boleh Dato Seri benar-benar tahu siapa Omar sebenarnya.

My comment:
1. PETRONAS- initiated and brought to its current glory through sheer dedication, loyalty and selflessness by Malay-Muslim teams in the past 2 decades, has done Malaysia proud, and we now stand tall in the eyes of the world. Syabas.

2. Dato' Seri Najib, please get a more experienced and patriotic Malaysian who will not idolise the Western culture. Listen to us.

Ramadhan LailatulQadr

Bismillahirrahmaanirraheem.

Di sini saya petik dari ulasan Ustaz Zaharuddin di zaharuddin.net mengenai 'specialnya ' Lailatul Qadr di bulan Ramadhan yang mulia ini.

1. "Semenjak dua menjak ini soalan-soalan agama yang sampai kepada saya menunjukkan minat orang kepada ilmu Islam secara agak luar biasa..". "Tidak terkecuali juga, soalan-soalan yang menggambarkan agak keringnya umat Islam kini dari ilmu Islam....Saya tiada masalah dengan soalan sebegini, cuma adakalanya merasa sayu dengan pengetahuan si penanya.
Jangan bimbang saya tidak kenal anda, tidak perlu merasa malu.
Lebih penting adalah kesungguhan dan minat yang masih berbaki untuk pelajari, ia jauh lebih baik dari menjadi orang yang langsung tidak mengendahkan keredhaan dan ketetapan hukum yang ditentukan Islam. Tahniah. "

2. SUJUD & DOA: Apa yang ada adalah sabda baginda Nabi s.a.w ketika menyebut :
وَأَمَّا السُّجُودُ فَاجْتَهِدُوا في الدُّعَاءِ فَقَمِنٌ أَنْ يُسْتَجَابَ لَكُمْ
Ertinya : Dan adapun sujud, maka berusahalah memperbanyakkan doa kerana ia amat hampir dan boleh mendapat kemustajaban bagimu" ( Riwayat Muslim, 1/348 ) .


3. Kehebatan Lailatul Qadr:

3.1 Firman Allah s.w.t :-
فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ أَمْرًا مِّنْ عِندِنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ
Ertinya : Pada malam itu dijelaskan segala urusan yang penuh hikmah, urusan yang besar dari sisi Kami. Sesungguhnya Kami adalah Yang mengutus rasul-rasul ( Ad-Dukhan : 4-5)

3.2 Pada malam itu, turunnya para Malaikat dan Ruh (Jibrail as).
Hal ini disebutkan di dalam al-Quran dari surah al-Qadr.

Manakala, dalam sebuah hadith disebutkan bahawa pada malam tersebut, malaikat akan turun dan berjalan kepada seluruh individu yang sedang beribadat secara berdiri, duduk, bersolat, berzikir, serta memberi salam kepada mereka dan mengaminkan doa mereka maka Allah akan mengampunkan mereka kecuali empat kumpulan :
-Peminum arak,
-penderhaka ibu bapa,
- pemutus siltarurrahmi dan
-individu yang sedang bermusuhan.

3.3 Diampunkan dosa terdahulu bagi sesiapa yang menghidupkannya dengan iman, ikhlas dan mengharap redha Allah;
Ia berdasarkan hadith sohih riwayat al-Bukhari dan Muslim. (Fath al-Bari, 4/251) .

4. Hidup kita adalah pendek, panjangkan ia dengan amal jariah dan amalan soleh melebihi seribu bulan.

Zionism a key factor in The New World Order

Bismillahirrahmaanirraheem.

Understanding Zionism, a key factor in the New World Order Elite Power Network.

1. Adrian Salbuchi, a writer and International Analyst, described succinctly the ideology of Zionism and the need to differentiate 4 key categories, to understand the New World Order (NWO) and the elite power network.
a. ‘Jewish people’ comprise about 16 million, ie only 0.2% of the total world population
b. ‘Jewish religion’ is the Jewish faith; the followers are disinclined to convert people to their religion.
c. ‘Zionism’ is a nationalistic ethnic ideology, founded by Theodore Hertzl.
d. The ‘state of Israel’ was superimposed on the people of Palestine. It claimed “independence” in 1948 ..from whom?

Zionism operates through a network of very powerful, close-knit bodies; and interacts with the Global Power Elite organizations, which include Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg Commission, Council of Foreign Relations (CFR), to name a few. A book “The Israel Lobby and US Foreign Policy” describes the excessive power of Israel, placing the interest of Israel over and above the interest of the American people.

Not all Jews are Zionists. Not all Zionists are Jews.
Examples of non-Jew Zionists are the The Bushes, Cheney, Condoleeza Rice, the Clintons, Blair and Gordon.

Words are powerful. A few words are misused. Example: “holocaust”; “anti-semitism”.

2. Anti-Semitism
Semites are Arabs and Sephardic Jews. Ashkenazi Jews are NOT semitic. They descend from the Central Asian Khazars (of Caucasian, even “Aryan’ stock) who converted en mass to Judaism in 740 A.D. The only REAL anti-semitism is that perpetrated by Ashkenazi, non-semitic armed forces of Israel against civilian Palestinians and Lebanese. The word “anti-semitic” is being deliberately but wrongly used to label those who criticize Zionism and Israel.

3. The Holocaust
There is no denying persecution of European Jews between 1933-1945,but whether “6 million Jews” were annihilated, is another question. ‘Jewish suffering’ was exaggerated and exploited to rally for political motivation linked to the establishment of Israel. Those who raised the question of the 6-million figure were immediately branded as “anti-semite” or “revisionist”, yet the question of the true figures was never addressed.
If Europeans persecuted European Jews, why was territorial compensation exacted from Palestinians who had nothing to do with the Nazis? Why shouldn’t the Europeans or the Germans themselves give up part of their land for the persecuted Jews? Re-settle the Israelis in Europe then.

Why was the persecution of Jews put in a class of its own, differentiating it from other horrible genocides of the 20th and 21st Centuries? Why was this (event) given a name ”Holocaust” whilst others are not?

Why is Open Debate (about the Holocaust) so much feared?
Why is anyone voicing a different opinion, inevitably get insulted, ridiculed and disqualified?

The “holocaust” is touted, not as a subject of historical research, but as a dogma. “The Holocaust” is a ‘guilt-generating’ machine that basically benefits the 0.2 % of the world population. All genuine criticism of Zionism is automatically branded as “anti-semitism” or “discrimination”.

In his 3rd part of his presentation, A. Salbuchi, like most of us, pleads to peace-loving good citizen Jews that they not allow Zionist elites to commit unspeakable crimes in their names.

THE SINGAPORE ISRAEL LOVE AFFAIR

Bismillahirrahmanirraheem.

1. Until 1965, Singapore was part of Malaysia. Singapore declared its independence on August 9, 1965.

2. Impressed by the Israeli defence system when visiting Israel in 1959, Singapore’s 1st Minister of Defence, Goh Keng Swee (GKS) later invited Mordecai Kidron, Israeli Ambassador to Thailand, over to Singapore to help set up its army. By end- 1965, Israeli teams from Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) began arriving to help Singapore build its army, Singapore Armed Forces Training Institute (SAFTI) and the Defence Ministry.

3. GKS had to be mindful of the sensitivities of neighbouring Malaysia and Indonesia, with predominantly Muslim populations. Hence utmost secrecy surrounded the presence and activities of the Israelis, who had specially asked to be referred to as 'Mexicans' to avoid having their cover blown. Israel imposed a total blackout on the story and the secret was preserved. Until the other side could no longer contain itself.

4. In his book, "From Third World to First: The Singapore Story 1965-2000," published in 2000, Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore's first prime minister, disclosed the secret that had been kept for almost 40 years: It was the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) that established the Singaporean army.

5. Singapore's army is today considered the strongest and most advanced of the military forces in Southeast Asia. The alliance between the Israeli and Singaporean defense establishments intensified and expanded. Along with the two tracks of compulsory service and career army, Singapore also adopted the IDF's model of reserve service.



6. In January 1968, Singapore decided to create an armored corps. In great secrecy, an agreement was signed for the purchase of 72 AMX-13 light tanks from IDF surplus. It was a bold decision: Malaysia, the country's large neighbor, didn't have tanks. On Independence Day, August 9, 1969, a major surprise awaited the invited guests, including the defense minister of Malaysia: 30 tanks rolled past the reviewing stand.

7. In a book entitled “The Israeli Connection: Whom Israel arms and why”, Benjamin Beit-Hallahmi (1988, pg26) wrote, “According to the CIA (1979), Singapore is the location of the main Mossad station in Asia. General Efrain Poran, a former military adviser to (Israeli) PM Begin, served a s Defense adviser to the Singapore Government (Kartin, 1984). In 1969, 45 Israeli advisers were on active duty in Singapore.”

8. Israel Shamir wrote, “Singapore has some similarities to the Jewish state: authoritarian rule, vast employment of foreign guest workers, aggressive stance towards their integrated neighbours. A great friend of Israel and the Far East base of Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service, Singapore is an important link in the global system of currency trading, an integral part of the New World Order, a supporter of the US and Australia. ”. “By taking a leaf from Israel's book, Singapore declared its 'right' to wage war on Malaysia if the country hikes the price of the water it sells to the island.”.

9. He added,”Singapore poisons the minds of the Malaysian Chinese and encourages their immigration to the island. It is a very unnecessary thing, for the Malaysian Chinese community is well integrated in their country.”



10. I came across an interesting write-up (June 2009) by Matthias Chang in his website futurefastworward, who couldn’t have summed it better: “…the Chinese saw through his (Lee Kuan Yew) devious schemes and rejected emphatically PAP’s politics. Lee Kuan Yew thought he could out-maneuver Tunku and become the Prime Minister of Malaysia. But Tunku beat him at his own game and he was expelled from Malaysia. Considering himself to be intellectually superior to Tunku, he could not accept that he was defeated so resoundingly by Tunku. He was devastated. When he announced that Singapore would be separated from Malaysia, he broke down uncontrollably. This was only to be expected as his dreams of being the Overlord of Malaysia, comprising of Peninsula Malaya, Sarawak and Sabah was shattered and he has to be content with being a bully of a city state! Given such a traumatic experience, and possessing a vindictive disposition, it is a given that Lee Kuan Yew would harbour a secret agenda against Malaysia. And over the years, he has sowed and continues to sow discord among the races in Malaysia.”

11. Matthias Chang continued,” It was reported that one of the reasons for his recent visit to Malaysia is to find out how the Chinese are faring in Malaysia. What arrogance.” “Why is there a need for such an elaborate programme – meetings with the prime minister, the deputy prime minister, an audience with the Agong, the Sultan of Perak and more meetings with other political leaders?” “No country is perfect and devoid of problems. We had our fair share, but we are better off without Lee Kuan Yew. “ Well put, Chang!

12. Chang again warns “Malaysians must be vigilant. Lee Kuan Yew cannot be trusted and while Singapore is our neighbour and a member of ASEAN, we must never forget that Singapore has never ceased to dictate terms to Malaysia whenever she perceives Malaysia as being weak. Do not forget the 1997 financial crisis and how Singapore treated us when we were in need.Today, Singapore is reeling under the weight of the global financial tsunami, but Lee Kuan Yew is behaving as if Singapore has a bottomless vault of financial goodies, ever ready to invest in Malaysia as a favour. We don’t need Singapore’s money! Malaysia doesn’t need any favours from Singapore! And Malaysians have no need for a Lee Kuan Yew telling us how to develop our country!”.

13. Last but not least, let me share with you a thought from someone in a website posted in 2008. He wrote, ”Orang Melayu di Malaysia tidak sedar, Singapura adalah diam berisi. Singapura dijaga oleh Amerika dan Israel. Semua komponen tentera Singapura dibeli dan diselenggara sama ada oleh Amerika atau Israel. Mossad sendiri berpangkalan di Singapura. Maka tidaklah hairan Malaysia Today server dia dah relocated di Singapore-based.( Al-Azharri Siddiq/popcorn-km.blogspot).

14. (Constructive) Comments and more facts to share with, anyone?

Bersederhana dalam hidup

Bismillahirrahmaanirraheem.
Salam semua & Selamat Berpuasa. Ahlan wasahlan Ya Ramadhan.

JOM kita sama-sama menghayati ajaran AdDeen Islam kali ini. Dalam kehidupan sekarang yang amat mementingkan wang-ringgit, harta, anak-pinak ramai dan status duniawi, jom kita henti sejenak dan menghayati petikan dari website Ustaz Zaharuddin Bin Abdul Rahman (zaharuddin.net) seperti berikut:

-start of article-

Nabi SAW mengingatkan kita bahawa :

إن لكل أمة فتنة , وفتنة أمتي المال

Ertinya : "Sesungguhnya bagi setiap umat itu cabaran dan ujian, dan ujian bagi umatku adalah harta" ( Riwayat At-Tirmizi, no 2337 ; Ibn Hibban , Al-Hakim : Sohih menurut Al-Hakim dan disepakati Az-Zahabi. Hasan Menurut Tirmidzi)

Al-Qaradawi mengatakan, godaan harta bukan pada mengumpul dan mendapatkannya melalui cara yang halal dan menjaga kewajiban agama, tetapi adalah dalam ke'gila'aan mendapatkannya, mencarinya dan menyimpannya walaupun dari jalan yang haram. Selain itu, ia juga tidak endah untuk membelanjakannya walaupun dengan cara yang haram asalkan berbaloi menurut aqalnya, tiada pertimbangan halal dalam hatinya.

Sebagaimana yang digambarkan oleh Allah, salah satu tanda kehilangan keberkatan dalam perolehan harta adalah :-

أَن كَانَ ذَا مَالٍ وَبَنِينَ , إِذَا تُتْلَى عَلَيْهِ آيَاتُنَا قَالَ أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ

Ertinya : Kerana dia mempunyai (banyak) harta dan anak, lalu apabila dibacakan kepadanya ayat-ayat Kami, ia berkata: ""(Ini adalah) dongeng-dongengan orang-orang dahulu kala.( Al-Qalam : 14-15 )

Inilah sikap kebanyakan hartawan dan jutawan Muslim (yang bukan Muslim sudah tentu bukan fokus kita) di seluruh dunia. Apabila mereka berada di puncak kekayaan, ramai di antara mereka tidak memandang penting kepada unsur keberkatan, halal dan peraturan dan hukum yang telah ditetapkan oleh Allah, kerap kali mereka anggap perbincangan seperti ini adalah kuno dan ketinggalan zaman.

Allah menegaskan :-

الْمَالُ وَالْبَنُونَ زِينَةُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَالْبَاقِيَاتُ الصَّالِحَاتُ خَيْرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ أَمَلًا

Ertinya : Harta dan anak-anak adalah perhiasan kehidupan dunia tetapi amalan-amalan yang kekal lagi saleh adalah lebih baik pahalanya di sisi Tuhanmu serta lebih baik untuk menjadi harapan" ( Al-Kahfi : 46 )

Menurut Syeikh Ibn Asyur ayat dari surah Kahfi di atas mengingatkan kita betapa perlunya kita menyedari amal soleh dan keberkatan adalah lebih perlu diutamakan dari harta banyak tanpa halal. Jadi dalam konteks ini, walaupun anda mendapat untung yang banyak ia belum pasti lagi menggembirakan anda di barzakh kerana ia mungkin sesuatu yang haram.

Jika pertimbangan keduniaan menguasai diri, ia adalah suatu tanda dan bukti umat Islam sudah semakin hilang sensitiviti terhadap kebenaran alam barzakh dan akhirat. Sesuatu yang haram dan syubhat amat zalim kepada Allah SWT walaupun amat menarik di sisi mata dan hati manusia.

Allah mengingatkan kita lagi bahawa :

انظُرْ كَيْفَ فَضَّلْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ وَلَلآخِرَةُ أَكْبَرُ دَرَجَاتٍ وَأَكْبَرُ تَفْضِيلاً

Ertinya : "Perhatikanlah bagaimana Kami lebihkan sebahagian dari mereka atas sebahagian (yang lain dalam perolehan harta). Dan pasti kehidupan akhirat lebih tinggi tingkatnya dan lebih besar keutamaannya." ( Al-Isra : 21 )

(ditulis 6 Ogos 2007)-end of article-

Semoga Allah memberi ganjaran dan rahmat kepada kita semua yang mengajak kepada kebaikan dan ingin menegakkan syiarNya kepada manusia. Ameen.
