A Subdued New Year Celebration


Friday, 17 Jamadilawal 1442H - 1 January 2021 

Adios 2020 and Welcome 2021.

A Happy New Year to all readers. May all of you be blessed with a wonderful and successful Year 2021. 

A challenging 2020 has just left, and let us now usher in the Year 2021 with a New Hope and in a good Positive Spirit.      

The New Year 2021 Celebration in Malaysia was not as grandeur as the previous years. No Special New Year Countdown and No Lavish Fireworks Display. Just a quiet affair. A dismal year, following a worldwide surge of Covid-19 outbreak which originated in Wuhan, China in Dec 2019.     

It was ushered in a low scale in the shadow of Covid-19 pandemic and world economic slowdown. A stark contrast from the past years!

Since umpteenth years, the beginning of every new year will be marked by multiple new resolutions. But, the 2021 resolutions in Malaysia will be totally in different mood and mode. Our main priority will be to continue to safeguard our health and safety, to break the chain and curb the spread of Covid-19 and to reinvigorate our sluggish economy. In other words, we will continue to soldier on with SOP in tag in line with the new norm set by the Government.

Healthwise, we are not socially and economically free yet. We are bound by worldwide restrictions to halt the Covid-19 infections. Thus, affecting our social movements and economic growth.

As long as the world is without the proper and right Vaccines for its citizens, the nasty virus will continue to reign and thrive. And we will continue to live and lead our everyday life under siege.

Thanks to Allah, since few months back, various types of Covid-19 Vaccines have been discovered, tested, tried and approved. They are now available in the market to be distributed worldwide. 

I hope these Vaccines will be a Game Changer and bring a much awaited renewed hope to the Year 2021. 

To date, Pfizer's and Moderna's Vaccines have been vaccinated to millions of Americans, Europeans, including Singaporeans. The doses were first given to healthcare workers, elderly, patients and leaders. Its true efficacy and effectiveness have yet to be fully ascertained! But, few recipients were said to experience allergic reactions, mild and severe headache, fever, fatigue and Brain Fog after the first shots.

But, American Public Health Experts have welcomed the reactions as a sign that the vaccines work.      

Malaysians are expected to get their first doses in early or middle of 2021 after the Government receive its vaccine supplies from the producers.        

I Pray to Almighty Allah that the New Year 2021 will herald a new hope and a new light to Malaysia with the rollout of the Vaccines. Henceforth, reclaim our good health and life, and kick start our depressed economy.  

Please follow the SOP set by the Government. Malaysia closed its 2020 curtain yesterday with a Big Bang of 2,525 positive cases. An alarming figures!  

Allah Cares Those Who Care Themselves.

A Happy New Year 2021 to all readers.

The End

Apa Itu Konsep Malaysian Malaysia?

Rabu, 2 Mei 2018 - Saya ingin berkongsi sedikit maklumat tentang Konsep Malaysian Malaysia setelah membaca beberapa artikel mengenainya. Ramai di kalangan orang Melayu dan Bumiputera sekarang, masih keliru dan kabur mengenai Konsep ini, lebih-lebih lagi para remaja kita yang kurang arif tentang sejarah tanah air. Sehubungan itu, sukacita saya memaklumkan sedikit info mengenainya. Sebenarnya, banyak lagi yang perlu diperkatakan tentang Konsep ini! Slogan Malaysian Malaysia mula diuar-uarkan pada awal 60-an oleh mendiang Lee Kuan Yew dan rakan-rakannya di Singapura menerusi Malaysian Solidarity Council yang dinaungi oleh beberapa buah parti politik. Tujuan mereka memperkenalkan konsep itu adalah bagi membantah Article 153 dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan Malaysia yang menyediakan pelbagai Hak Keistimewaan kepada Orang Melayu dan Bumiputera. Mereka berpendapat, bukan Melayu yang telah diberikan Kerakyatan berhak memiliki hak keistimewaan yang sama. Ini bererti kedudukan orang bukan Melayu...

Sepetang Bersama Para Veteran Pelabuhan

 Khamis, 29 Mei 2025 Bukan mudah mengumpulkan para pesara dalam satu Majlis Reunion atau Get-Together. Lebih-lebih lagi kebanyakan mereka telah berusia.  Syabas dan Sekalung Tahniah kepada pihak Urusetia dan Penganjur yang telah berjaya mengumpulkan mereka dalam satu Majlis Sepetang Bersama Para Veteran Pelabuhan, di Royal Selangor Yacht Club Pelabuhan Klang, pada 28 Mei 2025. Majlis tersebut mendapat sambutan baik. Saya tiba di Dewan Kenanga pada jam 2.30 petang dan disambut oleh Tn Hj Ismailuddin, Tn Hj Mohd Noor Omar, Sdr Idris (Pak Engku) dan beberapa orang rakan lagi. Ketika itu Dewan sudah mula dibanjiri para veteran Pelabuhan. Saya terpaksa bergerak dari satu meja ke meja lain untuk bersalaman dengan mereka. Ada yang saya kenal, dan ada juga yang saya tidak cam lagi. Mungkin disebabkan oleh perubahan wajah akibat faktor usia atau saya telah berhenti awal pada tahun 1984. Saya berpeluang duduk semeja bersama Dato Jaei, Dato Basir Maskijo, Tn Hj Ghazali Hassan, Tn Hj Azah...
