Surat Untuk Baba.

Dear Baba,

I'm sorry I won't be able to provide a lavish life for you.

I'm sorry I can't take you to special treatment & spa at any grooming house. 

I'm sorry I could not afford to send you to the best vet in town whenever you had cold.

I'm sorry your shelter is just made from card board. I promise I'll decorate it for you. I'll cut magazine papers & paste it all around.

I'm sorry if your life filled with all my plain ordinary capabilities for now.

 The truth is, I am still a student who has always been fully-supported by my parents. 

I couldn't burden them more,could I? 

but I know one thing. 

we will be just fine. :)

atas nama cinta,

Kakak

Baba is a strayed cat out of sudden found at the backyard of my house.

Hudud-ism.

Profesor Ahmad Ibrahim telah mencadangkan 3 garis panduan ke arah pelaksanaan undang-undang Islam di Malaysia:

1.Pemansuhan Akta Undang-Undang Sivil 1956 yang menjadikan undang-undang Inggeris sebagai sumber dan ditukarkan kepada undang-undang Islam.

2. Memindah peruntukan dalam Perkara 3 Perlembagaan Malaysia dengan kata-kata, "Mana-mana undang yang bertentangan dengan undang-undang Islam hendaklah terbatal dan dianggap tidak sah setakat mana ia bertentangan itu."

3. Mengadakan syarat di semua kanun dan akta bahawa jika tidak ada peruntukan dalam kanun atau akta itu,mahkamah hendaklah merujuk kepada undang-undang Islam.



Pada pendapat aku, sekiranya Undang-Undang Hudud benar mahu dilaksanakan di Malaysia, banyak peruntukan undang-undang yang perlu diubah.

Antaranya, bidang kuasa Mahkamah Syariah mungkin perlu diluaskan lagi berbanding keadaannya sekarang, di mana kuasa Mahkamah Syariah masih terhad kepada nilai denda tertinggi yang boleh dibicarakan hanyalah RM5,000, manakala bagi kes jenayah,turut termasuk sebat tidak melebihi 6 rotan dan 3 tahun penjara.

Kelayakan bagi penjawat jawatan Hakim Syarie harus diperketatkan.Bukan aku nak kata kelayakan sekarang ni terlalu longgar,tapi mungkin dari dasar perlaksanaan.Tambahan lagi, masalah yang berkaitan agama Islam yang bergelumang masyarakat pada zaman sekarang bukan hanya tertakluk kepada cerai nikah sahaja. Macam-macam timbul.Tu tak termasuk lagi setiap pihak beriya-iya mahu mempertahankan hak masing-masing tanpa memikirkan tentang orang lain, baik dari pihak badan-badan bukan kerajaan mahupun dari kapasiti individual.

Undang-undang Hudud pada dasarnya sememangnya telah dinyatakan di dalam Kitab Suci Al-Quran.Tetapi dari segi perlaksanaan undang-undang tersebut bukanlah mudah.Sekiranya timbul keraguan baik dari segi kredibiliti saksi, beban pembuktian, kebanyakan pendapat ulama' berpendapat hukuman seharusnya berada di bawah ta'zir.Jelas bagi menunjukkan bahawa perlaksanaan hukuman bagi kesalahan hudud bukanlah semudah yang disangka.

Aku tak berkesempatan untuk membaca rang Undang-Undang Hudud yang diusulkan oleh kerajaan negeri.Tapi aku cuma harapkan sekiranya benar mahu melaksanakan undang-undang hudud,perlu ada kesedaran menimbangtara semua aspek.Bukan sekadar untuk memperlihatkan bahawa sesebuah parti itu mengetengahkan imej Islam.

Islam itu adil kerana Islam itu cara hidup.

Selain daripada itu, Perkara 121(1A) yang menjelaskan, "mahkamah-mahkamah yang disebutkan dalam fasal (1) tidaklah boleh mempunyai bidang kuasa berkenaan dengan apa-apa perkara dalam bidang kuasa Mahkamah Syariah." Tetapi  banyak lagi akta lain yang menghalang penguatkuasaan hukuman yang telah diputuskan oleh Mahkamah Syariah  seperti Guardianship Infants Act.

Kekangan lain adalah akan adanya perselisihan di mana apabila si tertuduh yang melakukan kesalahan Hudud adalah seorang lelaki Melayu Muslim dan seorang lelaki berbangsa lain bukan Muslim. Percayalah, melihat kepada keteguhan semangat individual mahupun NGO sekarang, pasti akan adanya perselisihan dan masing-masing akan mula mempertahakan suara sebagai 'hak asasi manusia'.Hakikatnya,negara kita didiami oleh penduduk berbilang kaum dan budaya.Harmonisasi itu perlu.Tetapi, bagaimana caranya,itulah yang patut diketengahkan.Mungkin rang Undang-undang hudud tersebut punya solusi.Wallahualam.

Aku bukanlah Muslim yang menentang perlaksanaan Hudud di Malaysia. Tetapi kadang-kadang aku lihat sesetengah pihak cuba mengetengahkan Hukum Allah tanpa punya sistem 'enforcement' yang efficient bagi menjamin keberkesanan undang-undang tersebut.Apa yang aku faham, undang-undang Islam ini bukanlah bertujuan menghukum semata-mata tetapi haruslah menjadi iktibar masyarakat setempat agar tidak mengulangi masyarakat yang sama.

Aku juga kurang senang dengan tulisan seorang social activist  and academician ini, yang menulis bahawa sistem pentadbiran yang diamalkan di Malaysia sejak dari dulu telah mengetengahkan konsep Islam.Tidak aku nafikan,ya,sedikit sebanyak,tetapi Islam itu bukan hanya sekadar nama.Bagi aku, korupsi itu dikeji.Tetapi,bila difikirkan balik,bukan orang yang di atas sahaja yang melakukan korupsi,tetapi penjawat -penjawat jawatan rendah pun sentiasa perlukan 'duit kopi' untuk terus hidup di Malaysia yang semakin hari semakin tinggi nilai kos hidupnya.

Selain itu, aku turut kurang senang dengan pendapat yang mengatakan bahawa melihatkan negara-negara yang mengamalkan undang-undang Islam ini biasanya agak mundur dari segi ekonominya.Bagi aku,itu bukan salah undang-undang itu.Tetapi sekali lagi,cara perlaksanaan dan mentaliti masyarakat itu sendiri.Sistem ekonomi hanya akan meningkat produktivitinya sekiranya enjin dan sistem mesin itu bergerak seiring.Tak boleh la sekadar undang-undang gah hanya di tulisan.Siapa yang menggerakkan fungsi tulisan berdaftar itu?

aku bukanlah sesiapa ternama.tetapi sebagai warganegara sah yang memerhati.tak ada niat untuk aku mengaibkan sesiapa.tulisan aku adalah tulisan budak baru belajar.kalau salah,tolong tunjukkan.sama-sama kita belajar.

I'm moved with the verse that I read this morning.

ayat mudah.

Surah Al-Baqarah:1.

Sama-sama kita renungkan.

Heavy Bags Caught My Attention.

Have you ever had the moment whenever you're away from the keyboard,you'd have thousand of things to pour but once you're staring at the screen,there will be none left,in a blink?


Here I am,staring at the screen in the middle of the night after 2 hours of attempt to sleep.Sigh.This is home,should have been easier to simply shut my eyelids.The blame goes to the coffee that I had earlier this evening.


The first place I went once I reach K-Town was the dental clinic.I am turning to be a faithful patient for the last one year.I was a little bit earlier for the appointment and the weather was extremely fine until I even had to wait in the car to satisfy myself with the perk of the air-cond.I was caught up with the tense of the examinations until I even forgot it was no longer holiday for the school attendants.


There were few students with the school uniform passing by the clinic.I can't help but to notice the...


bags they were carrying around.


Those children were carrying their school bags as if there were bricks and stones they had to carry all around during the school hour. If I were to have pictures to show you,these would be the perfect resemblance:

I mean like, come on. Those bags are way heavier than their own weights. I used to have this kind of problem when I was in school. And I used to be the kind of who doesn't really enjoy sharing books.I always double check my school bag the night before to ensure all the books for each subject arranged accordingly, even most of the time the teachers were not even using  some of them.Now to remind that again,how blindly obedient I was.


Well, after almost more than 10 years since I left my primary school days, I thought things would have change.Even a bit or two.Brokenheartedly, it seems like it is as it always was.


I find it a burden to even watch them carrying around those heavy bags.Most of the schools nowadays had only one session,it's either in the morning or the afternoon.Why can't let them put the books in the drawer?All they have to do is just to bring the books needed for homework purposes (as it was a never ending story in school days!) back and forth. Even if the school has  the two sessions system, there should be budget allocated for the build of locker for each class for the students to store their books.


It's a burden when you have to wake up early in the morning,hurry breakfast,carrying heavy bag trying to catch the bus before it leaves you,what more during rainy days. Heavy bags cause you an arse back pain.


"Wearing a backpack on one shoulder can also cause the child to lean to one side to compensate for the extra weight resulting in an asymmetrical spine, back pain, and a strained shoulder and neck. In severe cases, children can develop a condition called "scapular winging," when the nerve that supplies the shoulder muscle becomes pinched, causing paralysis.


-The Times-"




Even the body posture would be deteriorated.I suffered one,hence I was speaking by experience. My mother used to remind me when I was small, "Please sit properly or else you'll end up like Hunchback of Notre Dame".Grrrr.That's scary.


Like seriously, they are having for like what, 6 or 7 subjects per day and 3 or 4 books for each subject.Now imagine that were to happen in the college/university.No more poise and macho fella and young girls around as the books are heavier problem to think about.


I guess it's about time.No more heavy brick and stone bags hanging on the back of the primary school children.There must be a way or two to solve this.I though the children are the voices of tomorrow that we eager to protect from getting hurt?


ps: If you notice, my major concern was the primary school students.Just because I'd always like to think that  those  'abang & kakak sekolah menengah' are rebellious in nature.So, they would just either place their schoolbooks (or sometimes not just the schoolbooks,even magazines!) in the desk drawer or simply leave them at home,couldn't care less about anything.


Somehow,they know not to place themselves with encumbrances.Unlike the kids, whatever being told to them,they'd obey it without asking of its rationale.


Just imagine this:


Teacher:Esok cikgu nak semua bawa gam,kertas warna dan gunting ke sekolah.Nak buat kolaj.Siapa tak bawa esok, cikgu denda.


Primary school students' monologue: Balik rumah kena suruh abah beli kertas warna.Kalau tak nanti cikgu cubit perut.Takpun kena pulas telinga.


while if the same situation happen at the secondary school,


Secondary school students' monologue: Bawak kertas A4 sudah.Putih pun warna juga.




Till then,
Have a pleasure reading.
