I write because I want to write something nice entitled 'Women are like flowers.'
2) Every family starts with a pair of married couple called a husband and wife. After some time .. God Willingly .. they are called parents to some children ( boys and girls). In Islam, it is 'wajib'/ incumbent to bring up the children from the perspective of Islam i.e., man and woman cannot mix freely like the cattle in Argentina and the merino sheep in New Zealand.
Women are regarded as flowers. If a flower is touched by all kind of monkeys in the zoo , what will happen to the flowers, my students?
Very clever you. The flower losts its value. It becomes 'layu' and 'busuk' ( droop, wither and rotten).
Similarly is a girl. If we let our girls being 'played' by all kind of men ..then she lost her value too
and the parents especially the daddy is surely put to fault. Why? He has failed to bring up their girls in a good muslim manner.
3) The next question is ..how come the men play with the girl? the answer some how .. is with the way the girls dress nowadays plus a lot from the internet/ youtube. Astahfirulah. They are putting their 7 year old sister's dress top but as tight as possible their jeans' bottom. Their dresses are so tight in such a way that their boobs and bums are so inviting for the men to touch/ grope/ fondle/ handle. Actually healthy men got animal feelings called satanic instincts. It is called that because syaitan (setan) always sit on the eyes of the men since Adam and initiated that 'giddy giddy' feelings between their legs. If the girls are selling directly or indirectly, why should the men not taking bigger amount of risk moreover some men subscribed this jargon '.. no risk, no gain'. So since the girls are risking their bodies and the men are 'calculating' their golden chances .. ala ho ya .. soon we will see many new born babies being discarded on the streets and drains throughout the country. TV3 loves to carry this stories through out the day.
With that I leave you.. take care of yourself my girls .. I write because you are my own daughters , somebodies daughters etc etc .. and there is a strong urge behind my chest to voice up. You are my flowers! Let it bloom properly and .. may Allah gives you good life by obeying Allah and his messenger Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.
Wallah hu aklam
Salam and a very good morning my dear respected readers
I write because of few important reasons. Among them are:
(i) I want to share my idea and I want to hear from you too. To get an idea , I have to spend some time reading something close to my heart. If I love English Literature then I will know something about Macbeth, The Life of Ghandi, Up and down of Yaseer Arafat, The Doctor in the House (Mahathir) and many more. I love reading. I think as a teacher, we must love to read something related to our profession. Tragedy happens to any country, if the teacher or lecturers do take other activities other than reading and disseminating knowledge to the world at large.
(ii) I have the feeling that I some level of education (action.. he..he..). Why? The answer is very simple. I was a fully sponsored student by the most generous government of this earth called Malaysia since I was 17 years old when I was sent abroad to Grantham College of Further Education, Lincs, England. Then I continued my education at Leeds, Birmingham (UK) and Royal Creek, Malaysia. All fully paid. The school and university fees , I mean. In England, my brain was trained by western professors who wrote many kinds of books and these books are purchased by the asian, afican and Arab countries far and wide. Yes.. I got my PhD at last. Since I had written 3 thesis from my degree , masters and PhD .. whereby the whole thesis is more than 30,000 words long .. my kelantanese people want me to express my idea to the whole mankind .. please bear it my dear readers .. may I write something for myself , my children, my students and the rest of you out there. Please. During the study, I wrote few papers for Science Direct Elsevier and presented some papers in WSEAS Conferences in Greece and Spain , SEAMEO RECSAM conferences COSMED in Penang and I had collaborated with few scholars in Vietnam and Acheh. MY children went abroad too to take degree. TQ Malaysia! They went to Science MARA colleges and One is an offshore engineer for an oil company and (i am so happy; alhamdulilah) she is an alumni of Maahad Muhammadi Perempuan (Yayasan Islam Kelantan). I wrote that I am happy at this point because many years ago ..when I sent my best girl to a religious school , a strong UMNO man from Bachok challenged me ' .. what future will your daughter holds by going to a purely Islamic school with 14~ 18 different subjects yearly?..'. I replied '.. Allah is the only one .. tawakaltu ala llah'. You know .. that teacher has long passed away.
If every PhD holders in this country contribute a book (only 1 good book) each then I am sure Malaysia can have at least 10,000 different books that are read , referred and discussed by the present generation and the future one. They will be stocked in Malaysian universities' libraries. One of the problem is some scholars left the work of serious writing after their PhD and getting higher and higher posts (administration) in their offices respectively and consequently, we are spending millions in buying foreign books for our universities. Why? some of us decided not to write anymore. Period!
I think by writing . indirectly I am paying back what is due to the country. Of course , I am not saying that my idea is as good as Tun Mahathir .. but .. the idea that are put on this blog ..can match it word by word if I were a Prime Minister Malaysia for 22 years. Look 22 long years! He has done so much to the country by building more than 1000 km express highway called PLUS.He has thought doing this gigantic project .. after some writing and more writing using his computer daily. He also wrote dilemma of the malays. Many of us did not like this type of writing because we are exposing our own short comings to the world at large. But writing he did and I am sure he is enjoying his writing at this age. In this blog, I write as a teacher. Is this wrong?
When great thinkers and scholars did not write .. then other kind of people will write. They will write many other stories that are familiar to their experience and reputation. Some old people wrote to destroy the present and the coming generations. One of them is stories with TOK BOMOH. To prove what I said , I asked my grand son Iman to google the word and ..there goes .. all the funny stuff for the readers to refer at regardless of age.
I think that is all 'Cikgu' can write for you today but before I pen off .. I would like to add few interesting quotes I got from Star paper yesterday. It was written by Jose Mario Dolor De Vega. From his writing he got this
"Sir Francis Bacon - reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man.
If any man wishes to write in a clear style, let him first be clear in his thoughts; and if any would write in a noble style , let him first possess a noble soul.
A writer is a writer not because she writes well and easily, because she has amazing talent , because everything she does is golden /.... a writer is a writer because even when there is no hope, even when nothing shows any sign of promise, you keep writing any way.
That is the ultimate aim of a truly free and creative education! ( Jose Mario Dolor De Vega) Star(M) thursday 13th Sept 2012.
With that I leave you .. I would like to say sorry if my writing is bad and hurting your feelings ..but .. we are still in the month of Syawal (immediately after Ramadhan).. Selamat Hari Raya . Maaf Zahir dan Bathin.
Malaysia Can!
Wallahu aklam.

Rasa-rasa baguslah kerana ada sebab nak suruh guru-guru/ Pensyarah IPG/ pensyarah politeknik KPTM/ pensyarah kolej komuniti KPTM sibuk sedikit maklumlah ..gaji kalian semakin tinggi dan tinggi selari dengan kenaikan harga minyak petrol RON97 dgn harga RM3 / liter dan petrol RON95 harga 1.95rm/ liter. Rumah teres 2 tingkat di Sendayan Baru Seremban 2 RM280,000 se unit. Bagus bukan? Rumah itu dibbuat dgn batu blok yg simple sahaja. Ajaib! 280K rm sebuah.
2) Bila ada pelan raksasa baru kita warga guru .. ada sedikit wawasan .. kena sambung belajar ke peringkat ijazah pertama/ masters/ PhD/ dan post doctoral. Tetapi saya rasa .. dugaan .. payah sedikit kerajaan nak implementasikan kerana ..
beberapa faktor utama:
2.1 sikap 'complacency' atau dalam bahasa german kelate 'sikap lembu kenyang'
sikap ini wujud bila guru membina rumah dengan kos RM200,000 ke atas di kampungnya sendiri pada umurnya menjangkau 30 tahun. Sekolah atau politeknik terletak berdekatan dengan rumahnya. Tambahan pula pasangan hidupnya membuka taska/ nursery/ sekolah tahfiz/ syarikat insuran berdekatan dengan rumah dan politeknik.
Bila keadaan ini timbul .. wujud satu senario .. kerja kerajaan seperti guru/ pensyarah politeknik / kolej komuniti merupakan kerja sekunder (kerja sampingan; fixed asset)..untuk membayar hutang rumah teres 2 tingkat dan hutang kereta gi mari .. sedangkan fokus utama pasangan ini ialah .. membesarkan kerja sampingan ..iaitu .. biar sekolah tahfiz / nursery / taska semakin popular dalam kalangan komuniti dekat dan jauh. Bila ini berlaku .. payah untuk mereka meningkat ilmu profesionalisma .. berkaitan dengan gelombang pertama/ kedua dari pelan raksasa yg dilancarkan oleh Dato'Seri Muhyiddin Yaseen semalam 11 September 2012 di PWTC, Kuala Lumpur. Mereka payah nak mengikuti kursus 3 - 4 hari di Kuala Lumpur .. untuk menaikkan ilmu dan sikap profesionalisma .. seiring dengan hasrat kerajaan. Arahan ketua .. mereka akan lawan dengan cara mencari guru/pensyarah baru sebagai ganti tempatnya .. alasan: anaknya sakit, nursery tak ada orang nak kendali, suaminya ada penyakit 'tuan' dan mcm-mcm alasan yg lain.
2.2 peratusan guru guru senior ( umur 35 - 55 tahun ) dalam KPM adalah besar
Guru-guru senior mempunyai sikap tersendiri. Contoh sikap yang saya maksudkan ialah .. mereka merasa bahawa teknologi komputer bukan untuk mereka kerana .. selama ini mereka sudah selesa mengajar subjek matematik dan sains dan BM tanpa bantuan komputer/ internet. Mereka beranggapan .. generasi guru yg muda berumur 23 - 34 tahun sahajalah ..sesuai bekerja dengan bantuan komputer/ internet. Oleh itu .. pelan raksasa akan dipikul oleh guru guru muda sedangkan guru guru senior akan memantau sahaja. Perkataan yg tepat bagi memantau ialah .. lembu punya kerja sapi dapat namalah.
Oleh yang demikian ..saya berpendapat .. pelan raksasa ini dapat dijalankan dgn jayanya jika:
(i) guru berumur 25 - 35 tahun tidak bekerja berdekatan dengan kampung halamannya. Biar first second posting.. mereka bekerja di luar dari negeri mereka. Dengan cara ini .. mereka dapat belajar budaya orang luar bekerja dalam konteks .. budaya opis ala kuala Lumpur / Kementerian dan sebagainya.
Contoh: jika guru adalah asalnya Terengganu , sejarah pendidikan sekolah rendah n menengah di Terengganu, masuk Kuittho berkawan, tidur sebantal dengan pelajar Terengganu dan Kelantan dari semester 1 diploma hinggalah semester 7 ijazah sarjana muda , posting pertama Dungun .. kawin pulak dengan pasangan dari Kemamang .. , mak ayah hadiahkan tanah sekeping di Dungun pula .. maka pengalaman dan budaya kerja guru ini ..adalah terhad dan tersangatlah terhad. Mereka berfikiran bahawa Bahasa Inggeris tak perlu sangat untuk hidup selesa dalam PnP Politeknik Dungun dan seterusnya. Lainlah kalau orang Terengganu .. kerja di politeknik Shah Alam/ Kuching .. jadi pegawai LI di Shah Alam/ Kuching 5 - 8 tahun..sudah tentu .. budaya kerjanya berbeza dan perspektif keberlansungan hidup berlainan dimensi dengan orang .. serba serbi Terengganu ..
Pelan pendidikan raksasa di atas boleh berjalan dgn baik ..jika .. budaya kerja kita .. setanding dengan budaya kerja orang Singapura/ Korea Selatan/ Jepun .. barulah .. akan terhasilnya .. produk (pelajar-pelajar Malaysia) yang setanding dengan pelajar Singapura , Korea Selatan dan Jepun. Untuk makluman pelajar Singapura, Korea Selatan dan Jepun sentiasa berada dalam ranking dunia teratas sekali .. dalam persaingan pendidikan dan kreativiti dan inovasi. Lihat sahajalah kipas angin, penhawa dingin kat rumah kita. Cap / brand kipas angin adalah Panasonic, Sanyo dan Sharp Jepun .. mari .. mana ada kipas angin chap Angin, Sawan, Bayu, Goyang dan .. apa-apalah. Sebab itu pelan raksasa pendidikan negara ini mahu .. kita ikut mcm orang jepun sana.
Budaya kerja kita tidak akan berubah jika .. warga guru .. khasnya melayu Terengganu, Kelantan, Kedah dan Perlis tidak mahu berubah cara berfikir dan cara kerja mereka. Budaya kerja akan berubah jika Kementerian / Jabatan / PPD .. bersikap profesional - tidak melayan surat-surat rayuan perpindahan mengikut pasangan guru masing-masing. Biar KPM/ KPTM menjalankan arahan posting mengikut blue print pendidikan raksasa di atas .. mengikut keperluan semasa dan bukan mengikut emosi / tekanan politik secara langsung atau pun tidak.
(ii) komposisi guru dalam satu sekolah adalah seimbang dari segi kenegerian..
Bilik Staf sekolah .. biar ada guru kelantan 10 orang, terengganu 8 orang, Sabah 4 orang, Selangor 2 orang , Wilayah Kuala Lumpur 4 orang ..
dengan cara ini cara bercakap pun dalam environmen sekolah ..ada standard piawai. Baru nampak dan mampu kita dengar bahasa malaysia digunakan secara baik / profesional sedikit untuk panduan murid-murid sekolah tersebut. Boleh saya bantu cikgu?
Jika komposisi staf guru adalah Kelantan 40 orang, Terengganu 2 orang, Sabah 1 orang , Selangor 2 orang ..maka cara bertutur dalam sekolah adalah berat sebelah. Istilah kelantan budu lah .. akan diperturunkan kepada warga guru luar dan pelajar-pelajarnya dari peringkat Tingkatan 1 hinggalah 6 sokmo sokmo. Kalau ini berlaku ...mungkin .. ada akhbar parti pembangkang ..akan menjadi sumber rujukan guru-guru dan ustaz untuk berdialog dan berbahas. Ada kemungkinan guru akan bertikam lidah dan mcm-mcm lagi lah. Gelombang biru, hijau dan kuning!
(iii) guru bakal pencen diminta menulis 1 buah buku berkenaan dengan subjek kepakarannya.
Seorang guru yg bakal pencen akan menulis 1 buah buku setebal 50 - 200 muka surat. Tidak tulis buku ..jangan beri mereka pencen. Jika tahun ini 2012 ada 10,000 orang guru yg akan pencen ..maka KPM/ KPTM akan mempunyai 10000 judul buku yg bakal dijadikan bahan rujukan oleh generasi muda 2012 - 2025 yg akan datang. Kos buku ini akan mengurangkan ..kos perbelanjaan perpustakaan seluruh negara dalam kawalan KPM/KPTM.
Dari 10,000 buah buku setahun ini .. mungkin ada 100 buah buku yg boleh diklasifikasikan sebagai bahan bertulis bermutu tinggi. Hasil jualan buku buku ini boleh digunakan untuk menampung kos .. naik taraf perpustakaan sekolah dan sebagainya. Dari 100 buah itu , mungkin ada 2 - 3 buah buku terbaik untuk dimartabatkan sebagai buku karya asli. Boleh buat terjemahan dan jual kepada Brunei, Indonesia dan Afrika Selatan. Dulu ada guru geografi 'Goh Cheng Leong' menulis buku .. dan bukunya dipasarkan keseluruh benua Afrika. Kerja terjemahan ..kita bagi kepada pelajar Tingkatan 6 atas yg sedang menunggu keputusan peperiksaan. Bahasa inggeris diperlukan. Baru ada ..siknifikan kepakaran B.I pelajar pelajar kita. Kalau pelan ini diambil ..baru nampak ... ada bagus pelan raksasa pendidikan negara kita yg tercinta. Jika tidak ..kita telah kehilangan peluang ..membudayakan usaha murni menulis buku dalam kalangan warga guru emas kita.
Insya allah kita akan berjaya jika perkara di atas dapat diberi perhatian oleh pihak kementerian. Menteri Pendidikan Malaysia mampu senyum sokmo sokmo ....
Wallahu hu aklam. p/s: maaf saya pinta. Selamat Hari Raya sahabat-sahabat guru ku sekalian. Maaf zahir dan bathin.
