Salaam.. pilihanraya.. masa untuk kita mengembalikan maruah Melayu Islam,
Maruah Rakyat Malaysia, Menegakkan kebenaran, melawan kebathilan.. amar ma'ruf
nahi mungkar.. menolak kehidupan sia sia hedonisma, meningkatkan kehidupan yang
sihat dan tidak berpura-pura atau lakonan sahaja.. Bangkitlah Melayu Muslim,
Bangkitlah Rakyat Malaysia.. Rakyat adalah penentu hala tuju negara, duit
rakyat untuk rakyat, keselesaan rakyat, kegunaan rakyat. Tidak mahukah kita
menaiki kenderaan menggunkan jalan raya yg tidak perlu kita bayar kerana duit
rakyat pada kerajaan telah membayar kosnya? 50 tahun kita membiarkan duit
rakyat dipergunakan untuk pembangunan yang tidak memberi manfa'at kepada orang
ramai. Tidak mahukah kita hidup dalam keadaan selamat tanpa memikirkan rumah
kita akan dirompak, anak akan diculik kerana pihak polis telah memantau dan
menjaga keamanan kawasan kita daripada sibuk mengikut telunjuk individu2
mengacau dan menganggu ceramah parti atau menyibukkan diri menghalang
demonstrasi aman yg hanya ingin menyerahkan memorandum. Tidak mahukah kita
mempunyai hak untuk bersuara dan menyatakan ketidak puasan hati dalam masa yg
sama berasa selamat kerana tidak akan ditekan, diganggu oleh SB atau nama kita
disenarai hitamkan atau kita dikenakan tindakan melampau spt ISA. Tidak mahukah
kita melihat generasi muda kita sibuk dengan berpelajaran, bergiat dalam
aktiviti2 sihat dan memberi manfa'at kepada diri dan masyarakat, saling tolong
menolong dan hormat menghormati daripada melepak, berbuat maksiat, merempit,
melacur dsbnya. sampai bila kita harus membiarkan orang lain yang menentukan
masa depan kita dan anak2 kita juga ekonomi negara dsbnya.terhutang budi
mempunyai hadnya, jangan sampai kita terlewat untuk mengatur hala tuju negara.
Sampai bila harus kita Melayu, Cina dan India juga bangsa lain harus rasa
cemburu, iri hati, perkauman dalam kehidupan. Semua mempunyai hak keistimewaan
sebagai rakyat malaysia, marilah kita mengubahnya.. Malaysia dan
duit rakyatnya bukan milik Barisan Nasional. 50 tahun telah terlalu lama
memberi mandat besar dan membiarkan mereka berbuat sesuka hati dalam apa jua
bidang tanpa sesiapa menghalang kerana mereka memiliki kekuasaan 2/3 majoriti.
Kita boleh mengubahnya.bak kata Obama
" A Change We can Believe In".. lets Change. Mari berubah, semua hak kita
akan terjamin dan lebih terjamin insha ALlah.
Seperti setiap kali Pilihanraya.. HeavyWeight Champion Gedebe BN with their
mighty Power MegaValve Quad Core Media kasi hantam itu Negeri Kelantan as well
as comparing continously and tiredlessly with Terengganu.. How Much la UMNO has
allocated just to win in Kelantan? so to some example for all the brainwashed
"Obey My BN Master" malaysian..bacalah skit..
Mengapa kita harus malu dengan tulisan jawi melayu tetapi berbangga dengan
membudayakan bahasa penjajah?

Kelantan - The contrary in reality Posted by admin on Saturday, December
15, 2007
By LEONG SIOK HUI
With its contentious rulings, the Islamic state of Kelantan receives plenty
of flak from the media. But what is life really like there?
The fragrant aroma of ayam percik wafted through the air as my friend, Kuen,
and I strolled around Medan Selera Buluh Kubu, an open-air eating square smack
in the middle of Kota Baru.
The huge array of Kelantanese delicacies on sale was mind-boggling nasi
kerabu, laksam, satar (fish paste wrapped in banana leaves) and mouth-watering
kuih (local cakes). After some frenzied buys, we ordered some drinks and chowed
down at one of the food stalls.
Suddenly, a guy armed with a loud hailer strode into the food centre and
announced in Malay: Please leave the area immediately. Muslims have to perform
their prayers.
We later found out that during Maghrib (evening prayer), all Muslims are
supposed to be praying, hence no business transaction can take place.
Maya Karin in tudung on a billboard only in Kelantan.
Some hawkers covered their food with plastic sheets and walked towards the
mosque while a few ladies just hung around their stalls.
We wrapped up our half-eaten food, scurried out of the square and waited for
the place to re-open 30 minutes later.
As a couple of unsuspecting tourists strolled into the now-deserted Medan,
the loud hailer guy yelled: Please get out! This place is closed!
Kelantan, with its capricious PAS (Parti Islam Se-Malaysia) government, is
notorious for initiating controversial rulings since the party took over the
state 17 years ago.
Entertainment spots like bars, dance clubs and karaoke joints and concerts,
gambling and alcohol are banned. Even traditional performing arts like wayang
kulit and mak yong are deemed un-Islamic.
Female retail and restaurant workers have to follow strict dress codes the
headscarf is mandatory for Muslims and cleavage and navel-baring clothing is a
no-no for non-Muslims, too.
At supermarkets, men and women use separate checkout counters, and cinemas
have a lights-on ruling to prevent unsavoury activities between the sexes.
In reality
But over three visits to Kelantan in the last six months, this writer found a
few surprises.
The Medan Selera incident was an eye-opener but it was an isolated case.
Other restaurants and eating places around Kota Baru dont suspend their
business during Maghrib.
Non-Muslims can still drink beer at hotel bars or Chinese coffee shops and
restaurants. And if you really need to dance the night away or sing your heart
out at a karaoke joint, you can head to Sg Golok, a 20-minute drive from Kota
Baru across the Thai border.
Supermarkets still have separate checkout counters but we do see men standing
at the women-only counters so theres no enforcement. All cinemas are closed
(a common phenomenon in small towns since the proliferation of pirated DVDs and
VCDs), hence the lights-on ruling doesnt apply anymore.
The Kelantanese are proud of their dialect.
As for dress codes, we did see some female stall owners wearing fitting jeans
and a few without the tudung (headscarf). Outside of the workplace, Muslim
women can choose not to wear a headscarf. At the Grand River View Hotel where I
stayed, some Chinese ladies attending a wedding banquet were clad in sexy,
short dresses and stiletto heels.
PAS has also relaxed the ban on some of the traditional performing arts
like wayang kulit (shadow puppet play). Visitors and locals alike can catch
performances at Kota Barus Gelanggang Seni (Cultural Centre) though the
stories have to be based on real-life than the Hindu epics.
Chinese tok dalang (master puppeteer) like Eyo Hock Seng of the Pasir Mas
district, are exempted from the rule and still play to jam-packed crowds of
Chinese and Malay people during kenduri (feasts) and Chinese celebrations.
Last year, the state lifted a 16-year ban on pop concerts by inviting
celebrities like Mawi, M.Nasir and Aishah to perform to sell-out crowds. Aishah
and four other female performers regaled 3,000 fans at a female-only concert
while Mawi and his gang sent the 15,000 concert-goers into a frenzy, never mind
that male and female audiences had to be segregated while families sat
together.
Bangsa Malaysia ?
Where else in Malaysia can you find Malays and Chinese mingling in Chinese
coffee shops?
At the White House kopitiam next to Istana Jahar, Malay and Chinese patrons
sip thick Hainanese coffee, enjoy kaya and butter on toast, and tuck into nasi
berlauk and nasi dagang for breakfast. At a popular Malay restaurant below the
Craft Museum, we saw Malay and Chinese locals relishing their nasi ulam budu
(rice with raw vegetables and fermented anchovy sauce).
The Chinese in Kelantan are a unique breed. Though they only make up about 4%
of the 1.2 million population, they are well integrated with their Malay
neighbours. In the rural areas especially, its common to find Chinese villages
tucked amid Malay kampung. The Chinese speak fluent Kelantanese and a
distinctive Hokkien dialect, sprinkled with Malay and Thai words.
Like their Malay neighbours, the Chinese love traditional Malay pastimes like
kite-flying, top-spinning, dikir barat and wayang kulit. The older generation
of Chinese and Malays, especially, forge life-long friendships. And when they
are out of the state or the country, they proudly identify themselves as
Kelantanese.
On the last night of our stay, as we drove from Pantai Cahaya Bulan back to
Kota Baru, we passed Kampung Cina. Families and kids dressed in their finery
strolled into a Chinese temple adorned with strings of red lanterns.
It was the night before Chap Goh Meh, the 15th day of the Chinese Lunar New
Year, and the 227-year-old Tokong Mek was hosting a two-night festivity.
Worshippers lit joss-ticks, prayed to the Gods and savoured free vegetarian
fare served by temple volunteers. Festival-goers checked out the stalls
peddling Chinese cakes and goodies outside the temple.
Across from the temple in a community hall, four female dancers clad in mini
dresses and knee-high boots entertained the crowd with upbeat Chinese New Year
songs sung in Hokkien.
Long chastised by friends as the most un-Chinese person they know, I dont
pray and would never think of setting foot in a Chinese temple during festive
occasions.
But in Kelantan of all places Kuen and I joined in the revelry. We were
reminded of a proud tradition that has made us who we are today.

Jalan2 Cari Makan - Kueh Nik Yae Posted by admin on Tuesday, October 30,
2007
The most authentic and worth-buying Kelantanese traditional cakes/sweets or
" kuih " is Nik Yam's
( pronounce : " Nik Yae " ) at Jalan Kelocor ( somewhere very close to the
famous Pasar Besar Siti Khadijah )
in Kota Bharu.
~Look for Jalan Kelocor, and just 20 mtrs from this signboard~
Unlike any other Kelantanese "kuih maker" whom you often found at " pasar malam
" or even by the roadsides, the " kuih "s here is obviously made for the sake
of quality and customers' satisfaction ! . Nik Yam's kuihs are indeed
praiseworthy.
~ enter the compound & you'll then notice this pastry kitchen ~
She makes, among the famous, the " Royal Murtabak " ( only available if booked
earlier ), Akok, Jala Mas, Tahi Itik ( or politely known as Putih Telur ), Buah
Tanjung, Che Mek ( similar to the usual Nekbak but smaller and harder by
texture, Nik Yam's innovation? ), Pauh Selayae and Piyana to name some, and she
even caters for the Istana Kelantan's royal banquets and orders from the local
government.
~ this is an RM 5 set Akok ie 3 for RM 1 ~
If you come to Kelantan and want to bring back something of Kelantanese which
are really worth bringing home, try go and search for Nik Yam's - but note
that, she only sells them from her house, limited and mostly made to order.

The humble Kelantan Chief Minister Nik Aziz Nik Mat (Ayah Zid) and JKR 10
residence by CJCM on December 16th, 2007
This pious Kelantan Chief Minister, known as Ayah Zid among the Kelantanese
(yours truly included), actually has an official Chief Minister residence more
popularly known as JKR 10 in Kota Bharu. But being a humble Menteri Besar he
is, Ayah Zid chooses not to live at the official Chief Minister residence.
Instead he chooses to live in his own house in Pulau Melaka (where yours truly
was born and grew up). Ayah Zid only stays at the official residence JKR 10
occassionally.
Ayah Zid proves he is a worthy Islamic leader yet again when he allows his
official residence JKR 10 to be used to provide shelter for the current flood
victims in Kota Bharu.
HarakahDaily reported 265 flood victims from a total of 69 families had been
staying at the hall of the formal Menteri Besar residence since the last three
days
Mungkin tidak berlaku di tempat lain, namun ianya berlaku di negeri
Kelantan, apabila Menteri Besarnya, Tuan Guru Dato Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat,
menjadikan kediaman rasminya JKR 10, sebagai tempat perpindahan mangsa banjir.
Seramai 265 orang dari 69 keluarga telah bermalam di dewan kediaman rasmi
Menteri Besar, yang terletak di Kampung Sireh sejak tiga hari lalu.
Rumah rasmi tersebut sudah dua kali dijadikan tempat perpindahan mangsa
banjir di mana buat kali pertamanya pada tahun 2004.
Mangsa yang kesemuanya tinggal di Kampung Sireh termasuk sekeluarga dari
masyarakat Cina bersyukur kerana diberi peluang berada di situ.
Rata-rata mangsa banjir ditemui melahirkan rasa seronok berada di situ
sehingga dapat melupai masaalah yang berlaku pada mereka.
Seorang warga Cina, Kang King Liean, ketika ditemui melahirkan rasa seronok
ditempatkan di situ.
Katanya, walaupun hanya beliau bersama ibu serta anaknya Robert Lim, yang
berbangsa Cina, namun mangsa yang lain melayan keluarganya begitu baik sekali.
Saya tidak menghadapi sebarang masaalah di sini, mereka yang senasib dengan
saya, semuanya baik dan tidak ada masalah langsung.
Source HarakahDaily
Despite Ayah Zids humbleness, there were many occasions where Pak Lah and
other BN leaders outside Kelantan visited the state without paying courtesy
visit to Ayah Zid, the No 1 man in-charge of the state of Kelantan. Imagine
when you visit some ones house and totally ignore the man who owns the house
while you are busy around his house.
That aside, if only Pak Lah or other BN Chief Ministers will do the same with
their official residences. Now who is the best Chief Minister and political
leader in Malaysia when it comes to working for the people? You decide.
