I choose to end this 'sort-off hurley-burly year 2009' on self reflections. While fellow bloggers around me are enjoying their new found medium to communicate effectively, while some taking advantage the new on-line media offers to  'championing issues', 'criticize' or ‘mudsling’ things not in their favours, I consoled myself on posting my thoughts. As an active blogger I refrained from using the

For reasons knowbody knew Din was known as the village hooligan – a ruffian and a tough guy. He was the sameseng kampong – a leader of sort to a gang of hoodlums. Parents warned their children not to associate themselves with him or his gang.But Father had a different opinion and termed him or his friends as 'merely' harmless village bullies. He had a well build physique and was tall and

This month exactly 50 years ago I sat for Cambridge School Certificate/Federation of Malaysia Certificate of Education examinations. This week on the 18th November 2009 Aizat the eldest of my 8 grandchildren is experiencing his first taste of the equivalent public examination – SPM-Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia.

My feeling was 'over the moon' on being around to celebrate my eldest grandchild's birthday bash on the eve of his 17 year of age last evening. It was done on a very modest scale.We were the earliest guest, arriving during Maghrib. Soon after the others joined in.

Saturday the 15 was a day to remember. At least for most of us RTM pensioners. It was PVRTM's meeting at Hotel Singgahsana. Some 50+- 'diehard' members converged at the venue for the occation. They were in as early as 8.00 am. Most had surpassed 70, still strong and healthy. Ex RTM staff are known to be functual.

The electorate of Permatang Pauh has made their choice. As expected it was no surprise the voters returned Anwar Ibrahim - PKR Candidate by acclamation. That was what it was. Permatang Pauh has always been Anwar’s stronghold, since he wrestled it from PAS on BN’s ticket almost 2 decades ago. Anwar will be seated again in the Malaysian Parliament. However, it was not a plain ride for Anwar’s

Malayan Election to local councils was first held in 1952, and in 1955 another election was held for a new legislative council; opening the new era for democracy. As early as 1948, the British promised independence, with a proviso what they termed a “period of preparation.” High spirits filled the air as the need to self-rule our very own motherland after more than 500 years under the colonial

The Town As I Saw It I have lots to write about this small town where I grew up some 67 years ago. I am still fond of it, although presently it has backtracked as it was never before - rustic, underdeveloped, and totally forgotten.To most ‘hutan’, literary meaning ‘jungle’. It is not so and never was. Before Merdeka it was a thriving feeder Port-of-call for steamers plying the Straits Of Melaka.

True to what Yusof told us, towards the end of January our class received the additional enrolment of students from town. They all look like ‘town snobs’ all right - well groomed, clean, tidy and healthy. They were in proper school uniforms, with matching white shoes and stockings.

Eid Adha this year was on the 20th December 2007 on a wet monsoon season. Some states in Peninsular Malaysia; was underwater, besieged by weeks of heavy downpour and floodings - the worst being in Kelantan,Pahang,Johore and Kedah. Thousands (20,0000 +) spending their Eid Adha in Relief Centers. Most rural peasants had lost their live stocks, while others, their possessions. Alhamdullillah my

It was on a fateful Sunday night on the 5th of September 1960 our beloved father passed away peacefully. Beginning that night I was to shoulder the mandatory task of helping my mother with all family matters. I was 19 years of age then, and still a greenhorn. I had just completed my secondary education, and with no future planning. Our beloved father passed away after a very long serious illness.

It started off with a handful of us. Derived from various Malay Schools from a vast Malay Agriculture Reserve Land of Coconut Plantations, spanning from Kampung Tanjung Bayan on the bank of Sungai Bernam to Bagan Datoh on the mouth of Sungai Perak. We were the pioneer group of Malay students selected for the Special Malay Class stream at a newly established GES - Government English School, Hutan

Folks....By now I could afford a brand new scooter. A Vespa Piaggio 150cc with Trengganu plate number TA 2135. It has a rotary valve engine, with 4 speed gear transmission, can travel top speed 85 KPH or 50 MPH. I bought it out of necessity. I have no other choice. Ideally I should help myself with a Ducati Motorcycle. A sporty and rugged piece of machine. Ducati Motorcycle was the statement of

Needless to say bicycle was the only mechanized transportation in my village before Merdeka. Although the kampong roads could fit in any kind of motor vehicle, the only heavy vehicle ever to be seen was a bullock cart, plying from the main road for the mile long journey carrying loads of sands, cements and pebbles, to Sekolah Melayu Sungai Pulau.It was in 1951, the year Sekolah Melayu Sungai

It was a passion. Right from the time when I was a small kid, I loved cars, though at that tender age I hardly realised that we were too poor to have one. My parents could only provide me with a proper education in an English Medium School. My parents could only effort a bicycle for me to travel to and from school. Although there was a regular public transport, but the cost for the monthly season

When a couple decides to tie the knot a wedding aura suddenly fills the air. This goes without saying. The feeling of sensation quickly take charge especially to those close to the couple. Now; what was supposed to be the decision of the two has become the responsibility of many: parents, relatives and close associates. What was supposed to be a simple ceremony has become an intricate family

Sometime I wonder what Merdeka*really mean to me. I remember, we were once a poor nation. I remember we were once under the direct rule of The British Empire in the Commonwealth Of Nations. I remember I grew up in a not so remote village with bare minimum infrastructure during the era of British Malaya. Even so we were so proud of our village, the Malay Reserve Land with gravel road, structured

To-day is the 14th of June 2007, our 2nd day in Perapat.. There’s nothing to brag about this morning, except to quickly pack up as we’ll be on the move again, this time to Brastagi. Then to Medan, and back to KL for a 5D4N holiday package. Frankly I never expect my wife to suggest that we should spend our vacation in Medan. “What is so special about Medan.
