Education is the most important thing for a nation to survive or to be great. It is ranked as the second priority after the armed forces and the police force.

A good management and system consisting the administrators and the implementors (teachers of course). Administrators who failed to look into the good interest of the implementors will purposely jeopardize the effectiveness to achieve the goal of the nation's educations system.

I'm a teacher in the state of Pahang (in Malaysia), from my point of view the administrators haven't taketh the necessary action for the interest of the teachers in Pahang. Maybe we will do what we were asked, but cin cai ajelah.

Maybe and maybe, eventually someone who dare enough and powerful enough can make the proper action in the best interest of the teachers, administrators,pupils and the our nations MALAYSIA of course...I LOVE MALAYSIA ! HAPPY 50TH ANNIVERSARY

The 'brainer" in Pahang education

2006-12-03T16:01:00.000-08:00

It has been sometimes i didn't update this blog, i'm quite busy with family bussines, hari raya, and P4. Last 13th - 16th november, my pupils had sat for their P4 exam (finally).
All this time i wondered why Pahang's pupils can't compete with other states pupils??? The neighbouring state Terengganu is the champion is Malaysia for UPSR n PMR. Why can't Pahang do that too??
Our school had planned P4 just after raya holiday, 3 weeks before the school close (before the new term next year). So the teachers have time to mark the papers and have sufficient time to hold the Prize Giving Ceremony (school convocation). Teachers also have the time to introduce to the pupils what the are going to learn next year.
But thank to Jabatan Pendidikan Negeri Pahang, they called 30minutes before school end and close for a week (raya holiday) ordering that P4 must be held on the last week. What the Hell!! you asking the teacher to be professional and planned our work accordingly. But the 'brainer' and the top person that head the education system in Pahang committed such a shamefull an disgusting action. No wonder Pahang can't excell and compete with other state in education filed. We are being headed by a stupid morron jerk human being.....(sorry to say this uncivilize words).
But we only the mentimun (cucumber) and they are the durian, we must obey their last minute and irrelevant order at what ever the cost.
I hope in the future, all the parties involved in the education system please think and ponder clearly and in a concious mind before making any decesion because what ever are you doing will jeorpardise the assets of this nation ; our children.
I'm sorry my children of 1 Ikhlas n Taqwa and also 4 Ikhlas n Taqwa if i committed anything that might hurt you all in the process of teaching. It is all in my good will and intention.

ABU GHRAIB PRISON ATTACKED IN RESPONSE TO "FATIMA'S LETTER".

2006-09-02T21:54:00.000-07:00

Fatimah Martryed In Abu Ghraib Prision In Resistance Attack That
Takes Heavy US Toll

Jan 10, 2005 By Muhammad Abu Nasr, Free Arab Voice and Omar Al-Faris
JUS; Published In Arabic By Islam Memo

Resistance forces fired a rocket barrage at the US Abu Ghraib prison
camp west of Baghdad. A correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam in
Baghdad said that the attack took place at 1 am Friday and that a
variety of rockets, including the powerful Ababil and the Grad were
used in barrage that lasted more than
15 minutes.

The barrage left four Iraqis dead, as well as the Iraqi woman
prisoner known as Fatimah whose letter, smuggled out of the prison
two weeks ago, sent shock waves around the Muslim world outrages as
it disclosed many horrid details of US forces gang raping female
prisoners and regularly perpetrating other abuses e against the
prisoners in the ill-reputed facility. Friday's barrage also
severely wounded another 22-year old Iraqi woman.

An Iraqi who works at the Abu Ghraib prison camp told Mafkarat al-
Islam that more than 68 US troops were killed in the bombardment as
that the rockets specifically struck their barracks. But just one
night before the attack, the Americans had moved more than 500 Iraqi
prisoners to the east side of the prison, resulting in the death of
many of them.

Allawi police brought the body of Fatimah to her home in the adh-
Dhahab al-Abyad village in the Abu Ghraib area, 45 km east of
Fallujah. The correspondent wrote that because of the family's
psychological condition at the time, he was unable to interview
them. Their neighbor, however, spoke to the reporter.

Fatimah's eldest brother, who is one of the mujahideen whom the
occupation forces are searching for, spoke in the mosque Thursday at
the nighttime prayer said "Praise be to God" with tears in his eyes.
Everyone in the mosque witnessed him saying 'Oh God take her soul!
Oh God this is a shame so please cleanse it! You are the All-
Powerful! You are the All-Powerful! You are the All-Powerful!' Then
after the prayer, one of the worshippers came up to him and
remonstrated him for saying, 'Oh God this is a shame so please
cleanse it!' The man told him, 'Say rather, this is an honor, so
raise it up and honor it. It is we about whom the word shame should
be used, not Fatimah. She is the most honorable, purest, and
cleanest of girls. I ask you for her hand in marriage after she gets
out of prison, God willing.'"

The neighbor went on, saying, "Fatimah's brother and his fighting
detachment carried out more than 50 rocket attacks on the prison
before and after her letter came out. Every day they would hunt down
a car or two belonging to the occupation forces. His name became
famous among them in this area, as famous as that of al-Zarqawi."

The neighbor's wife told the correspondent, "a month before her
arrest Fatimah distributed candy and 'brides' fingers' an famous
Iraqi folk delicacy to the people on her street because she finished
memorizing 13 of the 30 sections of the Qur'an. She told the
women, "after memorizing Surat al-Baqarah, the rest of the Qur'an is
easy to memorize. Give me three more months and you'll see who's
better, me or Shaykh Khalid.'" (Shaykh Khalid is the imam of the
mosque in the neighborhood where Fatimah lives.)

The neighbor wife says of Fatimah: "she used to be shy about
everything. I remember once she was with the women at a wedding
party for one of the local young people, and the other girls all
asked her to take off her veil because there weren't any men around,
but she refused to, because she was so shy."

Fatimah's funeral took place at 1pm today, Friday, the Mafkarat al-
Islam correspondent reported, to the sound of exultant cries of
Allahu akbar! [God is greatest!] and the Muslim creed "there is no
God but God!" Fatimah's brothers and father were not there for the
funeral, however, because they are all wanted by the occupation
forces, and the Americans surrounded the whole area of funeral -
from Fatimah's home to the cemetery - and kept everyone under close
surveillance.

The medical report concluded that Fatimah was struck fatally in the
head during the bombardment. The blow killed her instantly.

At the time the correspondent sent his report at 8:30 pm Friday,
Mecca time, white flags - the sign of a martyr, were flying over the
Fatimah's house. Local people stayed in the house to receive
condolences from mourners on behalf of the family. It was as if
Fatimah were saying from her grave to all the mourners:

How can you find sweetness when life is bitter?
How can you find pleasure when humanity is enraged?
If your desire is true then everything [else] is insignificant,
And everything on the dust is but dust.

Fatimah lies in the al-Karakh Islamic cemetery west of Baghdad. The
mourners put a date palm frond on her grave so that she might remain
in people's memory even as the hot daytime sun dries up the palm
leaves.

In case you missed it, here is Fatimah's original letter, smuggled
out of Abu Ghraib and published throughout Muslim press and on JUS
December 18, 2004. the letter speaks for itself. (23/12/04 [28th] in
this yahoogroup - the attack seems 2 b on the 18th)

Shocking letter from the Prison of Abu Gharib

2006-09-02T21:50:00.000-07:00

Fatima's Letter:

"In the name of God, the Merciful, the Mercy-giving. "Say He is God
the One; God the Source [of everything]; Not has He fathered, nor has
He been fathered; nor is anything comparable to Him." [Qur'an, Surat
112 "al-Ikhlas"]

I chose this noble Surah from the Book of God because it has the
greatest impact on me and on all of you and it strikes a particular
kind of awe in the hearts of Believers.

My brother Mujahideen in the path of God! What can I say to you? I
say to you: our wombs have been filled with the children of
fornication by those sons of apes and pigs who raped us. Or I could
tell you that they have defaced our bodies, spit in our faces, and
tore up the little copies of the Qur'an that hung around our necks?
God is greatest! Can you not comprehend our situation? Is it true
that you do not know what is happening to us? We are your sisters.
God will be calling you to account [about this] tomorrow.

By God, we have not passed one night since we have been in prison
without one of the apes and pigs jumping down upon us to rip our
bodies apart with his overweening lust. And we are the ones who had
guarded our virginity out of fear of God. Fear God! Kill us along
with them! Destroy us along with them! Don't leave us here to let
them get pleasure from raping us! It will be an act to ennoble the
Throne of Almighty God. Fear God regarding us! Leave their tanks and
aircraft outside. Come at us here in the prison of Abu Ghurayb.

I am your sister in God (Fatimah). They raped me on one day more than
nine times. Can you comprehend? Imagine one of your sisters being
raped. Why can't you all imagine it, as I am your sister. With me are
13 girls, all unmarried. All have been raped before the eyes and ears
of everyone.

They won't let us pray. They took our clothes and won't let us get
dressed. As I write this letter one of the girls has committed
suicide. She was savagely raped. A soldier hit her on her chest and
thigh after raping her. He subjected her to unbelievable torture. She
beat her head against the wall of the cell until she died, for she
couldn't take any more, even though suicide is forbidden in Islam.
But I excuse that girl. I have hope that God will forgive her,
because He is the Most Merciful of all.

Brothers, I tell you again, fear God! Kill us with them so that we
might be at peace. Help! Help! Help! [Wa Mu'atasima!]" [END]

Subsequently, approximately 100 resistance fighters launched a fierce
attack on the prison, forcing US troops to take cover inside their
barracks within the compound. Fighters pounded the Americans with
barrages of 82mm and 120mm mortar rounds. Large crowds of people
gathered outside, fearful that the bombardment might harm the
prisoners but they were assured by the fighters that they knew the
layout of the prison camp very well.

Mafkarat al-Islam's correspondent in Baghdad reported that the
fighters succeeded in destroying part of the walls of the prison
camp, blasting a hole four meters long in the inner and outer fences
that encircled the camp.

The fate of Fatima and the other woman with her is unknown.

On a final note, an individual responded to Fatima's letter yesterday
on the Ansar site and wrote:

"Sorry, sister, we are not men. Only true men can answer your cry for
help. Men are in a very short supply these days. Sorry again sister."

It is comments like these that speak to the lack of honor and duty
that characterizes many Muslims today. At JUS, we have insisted that
rape has been going on since the occupiers landed their muddy boots
in Iraq, which has for the most part, fallen on dead ears. We feel
great frustration and failure over the receipt of Fatima's letter
because we know there are many more Fatimas being raped in prisons in
Iraq and Afghanistan and many other sisters who are being violated
who are not in captivity. What must we do to make these voices heard
and where are the Muslim men to defend their honor?

In previous times, glory and honor were integrated into the lives of
Muslims as part of the complete system of Islam. For instance, a man
tied the end of that woman's dress to a chair while she was shopping
and when she got up, a portion of her private parts became visible.
She screamed "Wa Mu'atasima", calling for the Khalif himself. The
Khalif wrote this letter to the head of the cross worshipper's state:

"To the dog of Rome, I am coming to you with an army whose front is
at your door and whose rear is right here"

This is honor and glory in action for something much less than rape.
This is an army instead of 100 fighters. Those were the days when
Muslim men could be found.

49th National Day

2006-08-31T20:09:00.000-07:00

This 31st of August, Malaysia will celebrate her 49th birthday. The theme for this is 'Misi Nasional Penjana Wawasan' something like ' National Mission Towards Achieving the Wawasan 2020'.

I pray that my beloved nation will stay peace and prosperous throughout the age of this world.

To achieve that dream a big sacrifice and tremendous effort must be put. Making kite, gigantic kolaj, painting our face with the malaysian flag are the sacrifice and effort that is ment. But, that is what my school did for the last few days. The vital activity which is to educate our younger generation were abondaned due to this kind of activity.

What to do???? although to this nation, but it is an order from the boss. May Allah show her the right path.......amin
