  • Presidential Candidates Must Have Clear Conscience Declaring Themselves “Malay” When Even Other “Half-Malays” Are Not Considered As One

    Presidential Candidates Must Have Clear Conscience Declaring Themselves “Malay” When Even Other “Half-Malays” Are Not Considered As One

    Assalaamu’alaikom, semua. Actually, I have a real-life personal story to tell.

    My younger sister is married to a Singaporean Arab (not the rich one, mind you). His son, that is my nephew, was accepted into NTU about 10 years ago. He applied for Mendaki Scholarship but was rejected because he is considered NOT a Malay by Mendaki. My nephew is considered of Arab race based on his identity card as my brother-in-law is an Arab and needless to say, my sister is a Malay as I am. I did ask my MP at that time but he said that my nephew is not considered a Malay by “constitutional” definition.

    So, he had to apply for Mendaki Study Loan which he did and got the loan with my brother-in-law and I as guarantors.

    He graduated and started working and subsequently settled his loan with Mendaki several years ago.

    With due respect to all potential presidential candidates who claim to have some “Malayness” in them, ask yourself honestly and with a clear conscience: Is it fair to claim yourself to be a Malay when others who are “half-a-Malay” are not considered as one?

    Demi Allah, this is a true story. Assalaamu’alaikom warahmatullahi wabarokaatuh.

  • Mother Of Four Suffering From Stage 4 Breast Cancer, Your Help Is Needed

    Mother Of Four Suffering From Stage 4 Breast Cancer, Your Help Is Needed

    Hi Everyone, i have set this up to raise funds for my ex secondary school mate, Ms Norsiah, a strong and beautiful lady who was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in February 2017. Back then, it was Stage 3c and she had not decided if she would do Chemotherapy. One reason was because Chemotherapy would mean that she could no longer breastfeed her young daughter.

    However, on 19 July 2017, after appointment with another hospital, her oncologist has confirmed that her Breast Cancer has progressed to Stage 4. Norsiah is a mummy to 3 boys and 1 girl (who is only a year plus). She started her first Chemotherapy on 20 July 2017 and she will need go through an estimated treatment period of 6 months with National Cancer Centre. Her Chemo would be every 3 weeks for the first 3 months and every week for the next 3 months.

    Even though her medical treatment is eligible for financial assistance (Alhamdulillah), Norsiah and her family still requires support for other daily necessities such as milk powder for her daughter (who she can no longer breastfed due to chemo), diapers, transport to and fro hospital, groceries etc.

    Norsiah has been taking orders (at times she even took on bulk orders) for cookies and cakes for the past few months despite not feeling 100% well. She did this to get extra income for her medical appointments and daily needs. However, with her ongoing treatment, she may not be able to take much (or may no longer be able to take orders) for now.

    We do hope that kind hearted souls out there can help Norsiah and her family. Any donation amount (no matter how small) is welcome. Thank you so much for your help 😊

    *sorry if this post is not detailed enough, was created in a rush as we just found out that chemo needs to start asap. will try to find out and post updates and more information soon

    Here is a thank you message from Norsiah:

  • [Malaysia] Bersyukurlah Jadi Melayu, Bangsa Dunia Yang Hebat

    [Malaysia] Bersyukurlah Jadi Melayu, Bangsa Dunia Yang Hebat

    PETALING JAYA: Datuk Seri Salleh Said Keruak berkata sejumlah setengah bilion orang Melayu tersebar di seluruh dunia dari Australia ke Amerika Syarikat, dan berkata orang Melayu perlu bersyukur mereka tergolong sebahagian daripada mereka kerana mempunyai jati diri dan mengekalkan tradisi tidak kira di mana mereka berada.

    “Sebagai bangsa Melayu, bersyukurlah dengan anugerah Allah ini. Kekalkan tradisi kehebatan ini supaya nasib bangsa ini tidak terjadi seperti tragedi yang menimpa bangsa Palestin, Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq dan Rohingya yang sedang bergelora dan ditindas di tanah air sendiri,” tulis bendahari Umno itu dalam catatan blog hari ini.

    Katanya, diaspora Melayu mewakili 9% penduduk dunia, dan mereka terbukti berjaya kerana memiliki sifat jati diri dan kerajinan, seperti yang boleh dilihat dengan pelantikan orang Melayu untuk jawatan penting di negara lain.

    Beliau memberi contoh Melayu Sri Lanka, Samara Vijayatungga dan Melayu Cape, Abdullah Kadi Abdus Salaam, di samping Melayu yang mula menetap di kawasan baharu seperti Datuk Mohd Aris Ahmad yang dilantik menjadi Datuk Bandar Winsford di England pada 1989, dan usahawan New York, Datuk Fathol Razak Abdul Rawak.

    “Kehebatan diaspora bangsa ini diiktiraf dunia. Bangsa ini sudah mampu menjadi duta Melayu global untuk terus bersaing dengan bangsa-bangsa lain di peringkat antarabangsa,” kata menteri komunikasi dan multimedia itu.

    Katanya, kehebatan diaspora Melayu adalah disebabkan sifat mereka yang rajin, berani dan berjiwa besar.

    “Selain itu adalah faktor agama Islam, keterbukaan minda, pengamalan budaya dan bahasa Melayu yang turut menjadikan mereka hebat.”
