Sajak: Bersatulah Melayu ~ Associate Prof. Dr. Lim Swee Tin

Bersatulah Melayu 


Kalau nampak ada retak

Kerana retak hujungnya belah

Bimbang belah membawa pecah

Melayu itu tak mampu berpecah



Bersatulah Melayu

Melayu itu cermin

Dalam jernihnya kita menilik

Kita menilik mencari wajah

Wajah Melayu wajah kita



Bersatulah Melayu

Melayu itu lampu

Terangi jalan luas terbentang

Siapa cuba kaburkan suluh

Kelak hilang arah dan tuju



Bersatulah Melayu

Melayu itu payung

Payung jangan carik

Carik payung

Manakan lagi tempat berlindung



Bersatulah Melayu

Melayu itu pohon

Akarnya mencengkam bumi

Bumi ini pautan kasih

Kasih Melayu segala kasih



Bersatulah Melayu

Cari dan rangkalah jalan damai

Damai membuka pintu pertemuan

Pertemuan kelak merintis padu

Berpadulah Melayu, berpadu semua.

Sheikh Imran Nazar Hosein On Dr. Mahathir and Malaysia

Suffice to show how outsiders appreciate this local genius but not his own countrymen.

Take Care......

Quote from other wise human being: It feels so good to hear someone saying, "TAKE CARE". But it feels so much better to hear someone saying "I AM THERE TO TAKE CARE OF YOU".

'The Malay Dilemma' by Tun M

An excerpt from 'The Malay Dilemma' for more than 40 years ago;

"fatalism dalam diri  orang-orang melayu yang percaya 'rezeki secupak tak akan jadi segantang’, sering menjadikan mereka sorang pesimis"

The Genius Frank Sinatra on Change Management

I suddenly remember Frank Sinatra after being tagged to his song, 'My Way'.

In the liner notes of one of his albums, he wrote;

Quoted from SANDERA, 1971 (by National Laureate, Arena Wati)

"Orang yang berpaut pada awan, akan jatuh lebih dahulu sebelum awan itu sendiri bercerai-berai"

'Sandera' merupakan istilah Indonesia dan adalah sangat asing di dalam kamus orang awam di Malaysia. 'Sandera' boleh bermaksud tebusan (hostage) atau diculik (abductee) bergantung kepada kesesuaian penggunaan.

TUN M: CHALLENGES OF THE ISLAMIC UMMAH IN FACING GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS

Tun Dr Mahathir Bin Mohamad’s speech at the Institute for Policy and International Studies Tehran, 10.00 a.m., 30 November 2008

The financial crisis is yet another threat facing the Islamic ummah. Whether we can avoid being dragged down by this crisis or we can minimize the effect will depend much on us. It will also depend on whether the ummah choose to act together or whether each Islamic nation will act individually.

TUN M ON SEX @ 80s AND THE INTERNET PORN

I've received this article from one of the lecturers. A very interesting article, an excerpt of Tun M's speech at the gathering of Bloggers Universe Malaysia 2009.

Most Malaysians expect former strongman Dr Mahathir Mohamad - still alert and sharp at 84 - to rise to the occasion in any speaking engagements. MCPX.

FOCUS ON WINNING

The following is an excerpt that i got from one of my friend's blog "Sajakiri" ..we used to be in the same band. The excerpt that i copied is so inspiring, lifted my spirit.

Focus on winning

This is like an article from motivational guru. But indeed this is like a reminder from myself, to myself.

Most people focus on their effort to survive, not thrive. But i think it is not harder to focus on thrive. Perhaps it takes less time and effort too. And of course result too.

Yeah. It sound too easy. What makes its harder is to stay focus. On winning.

Life is full of distraction. Aware on unaware, it will capture us. The best way is to stay away from it. Let the problem take care of itself.

Eventually, if we keep doing and focus on winning, the so-called problem would disappear.

Winning is not hard. To stay focus are.
