Alexander the Great/Iskandar Zulqarnayn (the 2 horned/2 tanduk)

Catatan Parsi Tentang Iskandar Zulqarnayn: from kitab Sikandar Nama e Barra (the Book of Iskandar/Alexander, in Malay Hikayat Iskandar Zulkarnain)

Menurut catatan kuno Parsi, memang terdapat beberapa tokoh digelar dZul-Qarnayn (yg Bertanduk Dua)... iaitu Raja Parsi Cyrus Agung 700BC (Zulkarnain the Greater) dan Raja dari Greek yg menyatukan Barat (Greek) dan Timur (Farsi) iaitu Raja Iskandar Agung 300 BC (Zulkaranin the Smaller) maybe merujuk kepada usia Alexander yg terlalu muda sudah menguasai dunia. Org farsi juga mengatakan kedua2 zulkarnain tersebut adalah Mukmin Ortodoks (bergama Tauhid syariat Ibrahim AS)

Munurut catitan agama yahudi , Nabi Daniel AS telah mendapat vision & mimpi mengenai kedua2 tokoh yg digelar the 2 horned/zulkarnain yg pertama Cyrus yg menyatukan Lydia & Media, dan kerjaan tersebut akan diatasi oleh kerjaan yg lebih besar menvcantumkan Timur & Barat iaitu zulkarnain dari greek (Alexander), kedua2nya juga dikatakan sebagai org beriman dan kedua2nya dikatakan mendapat kurniaan dan kekuasaan dari Allah SWT.

Maka kedua2 sumber adalah konsisten. Yg menariknya, catatan Farsi kuno mengatakan Zulkarnain kecil/muda yg membina tembok antara dua gunung di Caucasus untuk menghalang bangsa eropah kuno iaitu Gog n Magog dgn tembok besi + gangsa+tembaga dipanggil Barrier of Alexander (sadd-i-iskandar)

darband

the barrier.

bábu-l-abwáb

the gate of gates.

sadd-i-iskandar

the barrier of Sikandar.

sadd-i-ga,júj va ma,júj

the barrier of Gog and Magog.

Darband (ancient Albania), the capital of Daghistan, was a fortress on the western shore of the Caspian Sea, at the foot of the Caucasus, near Shirván. Some remains of the thick and extensive wall of Gog and Magog, running in a western direction over high and almost inaccessible mountains, built by Sikandar Zu-l-Ḳarnain (to check the incursions of Hyperborean savages) are still to be seen.

Bahkan menurut catatan bani Israel (walaupun oorg barat cuba menggambarkan Alexander lebih kepada dgn gaya hidup greek/barat), selain menyerang semua kerajaan, yg hairannya ketika sampai Jerusalem / Baitulmaqdis, Alexander the Great tidak menyerang Jerusalem, sebalik datang dan hormat kepada para2 wali bani Israel dan baginda juga turut melawat Haykal Sulaiman (masjid Nabi Sulaiman AS) untuk beribadat dan melakukan korban. Memang terdapat catatan Alexander sering melakukan ibadah korban sebelum berperang.

Mereka juga melihat dahi Alexander seperti mempunyai dua tanduk, mungkin kerana stail rambut dia (alaa mcm rambut al Pacino dlm The Godfather lah jenis back comb) sebagaiman ditulis “They call him in the Greek tongue—Muhibb-i-hikmat, the friend of philosophy. Some call him—Zú-l-ḳarnain-i-așghar; because both sides of his forehead projected like two horns.”

Maka saya merasakan Alexander adalah apa yg dikatakan di dlam surah Al Kahfi. (end text by fairuzStone)

---------------------------------------------------------------------- berikut ialah text dan ulasan on kitab Sikandar Nama

See “Essays” by Dr. Haug, Bombay, 1862; the “Acad. des Inscript.” tom. 37, an extract from which is given (p. 274) in Shea's translations of Mirkhond's “History of the Early Kings of Persia”; Malcolm's “History of Persia,” vol. i. p. 494; the list of Zand and Pahlaví books by Trübner & Co.; two articles by Monier Williams, in “the Nineteenth Century,” 1881—“the Religion of Zoroaster” (January), and “The Parsís” (March); “Modern India,” by Monier Williams, pp. 56, 169, 202; Hammer's “History of Persian Literature,” and his “Encyclopedic View of the Sciences of the East.”

Save the rites of Zar-dusht, the fire-worshipper,—
Other customs he surrendered not.

30

He was the first person who established (the use of) decoration;
(Who), in Rum established gold-coining.

By his order the goldsmith of cunning hand
Fixed leaves of gold on the surface of virgin silver.

The books of wisdom, from the Darí language,
He clothed in the Greek tongue.

Verily the drum of the watch, in the morning and evening,
Brought forth (proclaimed) his name from the watch-place (the court).

He became the guide of the people to the mirror,
Brought forth the jewel (the lustrous mirror) from the darkness (of iron):

35

Severed the tumult of the men of Zang from the world;
Took crown and throne from Dárá:

30

From this couplet it may be inferred that formerly in Rúm certain customs were not in use, such as—gold-coining (sikka,e zar); handshaking (mușáfaha); hand-kissing (dast-bosí).

31

“ilá” here signifies—awráḳ-i-ilá, leaves of gold, with which they plate articles.

32

Some say that Sikandar, after translating all these Persian books, burned them.

34

This couplet may refer to the precious jewel that Sikandar brought forth from the darkness. See cantos lxviii. and lxix.

Zang. See canto xix.

Of the blackness (of boasting) of Hindústán and of the yellowness (of plundering) of Russia,
Washed down (purified) the world, like the house of a bride.

His order became the mirror (model) of the men of Chín;
His place the throne of Kay-Khusrau (Cyrus, B.C. 558).

When his age urged (turned) a leaf over twenty years,
It (his age) smote, in royalty, the leather strap on the drum.

Secondly, when he added seven to twenty years,
He bound up his chattels for prophesying (regarding God) and set out.

40

From that day, when he went a-prophesying,
They wrote the date (era) of Sikandar.

36

“Baitu-l-'arús” signifies—the whitened house of a man or a woman newly married. When a death occurs the house is blackened.

The men of Hindústán are very black; of Russia, whitish yellow.

38

Sikandar at the age of twenty, having subdued the monarchs of the East, returned to Rúm and sat on the throne. This was his first excursion. See canto lxxi.

“Dawal,” meaning a drum-stick, here signifies—tasma, a thong of undressed hide.

39

The firstly occurs in couplet 38.

They call him in the Greek tongue—Muhibb-i-hikmat, the friend of philosophy. Some call him—Zú-l-ḳarnain-i-așghar; because both sides of his forehead projected like two horns.

In the Burhán-i-ḳái', it is written that Dárab's wife, the daughter of Philip of Makedon, being afflicted with a foul breath, was sent back to her father. After a physician, Iskandarús, had cured her, a son, whom doubtless they called Iskandar, was born. See canto xv., couplet 30.

The son of Sikandar and Roshanak (Dárá's daughter) was called Iskan-darús, which, in Rúm, signifies—a shield. See canto xxxv., couplet 83.

40

They wrote history before Sikandar's mission from a certain date; after his mission from his date; and now from the date of Christ, or of Muhammad.

Before Muhammad's time Persian histories have no era.

When he became the teacher of wisdom, in regard to the true religion (of Islám),
He became, like (auspicious) fortune, joyous to the world:

Stirred up much proof (by miracle) as to the pure religion (of Islám);
Erected many buildings on the surface of the dust (of the earth):

In every revolution round the compass of time (the seven climes),
Founded many wealthy cities:

From Hindústán to the confines of Rúm,
Raised a city in every land and clime.

45

Gave adornment even to Samarkand;
—Not one Samarkand, but to many (a city) like it:

Founded a city like the city Hirí (Hirát);
Like to which another seldom makes a city.

The door and wall that Darband first obtained,
It obtained, by the wisdom of that wise one (Sikandar).

41

They say that Sikandar was of the faith of Ibráhím (the prophet), and consequently mu,mín (orthodox); and that Adam was the first Muslim.

44

“Marz” signifies—zamín-i-ránda va ábád.

“Búm” signifies—zamín-i-ná ránda va kharab.

46

The “Journal” of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, 1834, vol. iii. p. 9, says:—Luhrasp began and Sikandar completed the building of Hirát.

47

“Darband” (dar signifying door, and band, fortress) has several names—

darband

the barrier.

bábu-l-abwáb

the gate of gates.

sadd-i-iskandar

the barrier of Sikandar.

sadd-i-ga,júj va ma,júj

the barrier of Gog and Magog.

Darband (ancient Albania), the capital of Daghistan, was a fortress on the western shore of the Caspian Sea, at the foot of the Caucasus, near Shirván. Some remains of the thick and extensive wall of Gog and Magog, running in a western direction over high and almost inaccessible mountains, built by Sikandar Zu-l-Ḳarnain (to check the incursions of Hyperborean savages) are still to be seen.

Many believe that Sikandar (Alexander the Great) is the prophet Sikandar Zu-l-Ḳarnain the greater, mentioned in Sale's Ḳurán, chap. xviii.; and that he built the rampart which confines Ya,júj (Gog) and Ma,júj (Magog). These evil demons, according to the Persians, dwell in Mount Káf, the centre of the world; and their progeny, who are of all sizes and shapes, used to plunder and lay waste the neighbouring countries, till the inhabitants complained to Sikandar, who built his wall to confine them. They scratch it almost through with their claws every day and go home, expecting that they will easily destroy in the morning the little that is left; but in the morning they find the wall rebuilt.

The reason of their failure is their never saying—“Inshalla” (God willing), and they will never destroy this wall till one of their children is named Inshalla, when, on retiring, they will call the boy:—“Come along, Inshalla; we shall finish to-morrow.”

By the accidental use of this expression they will succeed in destroying it, and their consequent ravages will be a sign of the dissolution of the Universe. See Malcolm's “History of Persia,” vol. i. p. 62; and the “Asiatic Journal,” vol. x., January-April, 1833.

In the word Samarḳand, samar is a king's name, and ḳand (in the language of the region this side of the Oxus) signifies—a city.

“Ba shar” signifies—ba muḳtaẓạ.

Pass beyond Bulghár, which is of his work;
Its true site is his Bunghár (chattel-place).

Verily, the barrier of (the tribe of) Ya,juj became lofty by him:
—Who thus established a barrier on the mountain?

48

When Sikandar, in search of the water of life, came to the “Darkness” (canto lxix), he made in its vicinity a dwelling place (bungáh), or store-place for his chattels, in Bunghár (a place of many caves); and when he came thence and marched into the “Darkness,”—a crowd of people from the neighbouring districts and the men of his army who were wearied of marching assembled and established a great city. The true site of that Bulghár is Bunghár.

“Bunágáh” signifies—bungáh.

In the Rashídí the meaning of Bulghar (Bunghár) is—bisiyar ghár (for bul signifies—bisiyár). The Ḳámus says:—The word is properly Bulghar, but that the people call it Bulghár, which is pure Arabic.

The second line may be rendered:—

Its true foundation is its cave's foundation.

See canto lxviii. couplet 45; lxi. 10.

49

Near the Caspian, between two mountains, for a length of one hundred farsangs, Sikandar built a wall of brick, iron, tin and lead,—that the two tribes, Ya,júj (Gog) and Ma,júj (Magog), the offspring of Yafar, the son of Nuh (on him be peace!), might not intrude. Sale's Ḳurán, chap. xviii.

See couplets 47 and 59; the second book of this work (the Sikandar-Náma,e bahrí); and the Sháh-Náma, by Firdausí.

50

Besides this, he also established many foundations (cities);
But one cannot mention about him more than this.

When to that pure body (Sikandar of pure religion) the purpose came,
That he should apportion the form of the dust (of the world).

He drew out a cross-line (wandered far and wide) in the world,
Before that the cross-bearer (the Christian) appeared.

With that celestial line of four angles (for earth-measuring),
He set up the computation of geometry:

Upreared a great tent of four bounds (corners),
That beat five drums against (exulted over) the ninth heaven.

55

Its one peg in the northern pole,
Its other peg in the southern amplitude.

He drew the tent-rope from this side to the east;
From it another tent-rope reached to the west.

50

In the plain of Khafcháḳ, between two mountains, Sikandar set up another barrier against robbers.

52

“Kha-i-șalíbí” signifies—kha-i-alasí, or kha-i-chahár gosha, the cutting of an equatorial with an axial line—the former from east to west, the latter from north to south; or an instrument for measuring the earth.

53

Sikandar, a world-wanderer, described a cross on the earth—that is, he travelled east, west, north, and south, and discovered the dimensions of the earth.

“Salíbí” here signifies—a cross-bearer, wearing a cross of silver, copper, or wood, attached to his girdle. Many Christians have the cross embroidered on pieces of satin which they wear.

Within this workshop (of the world) as regards (measuring) this length and breadth (of the world);
To whom other (than he) was such power?

When he began the design of world-wandering
For applying the (measuring) line, he prepared lines

Of farsang, and of mile, and of halting-place,—
Of the earth, to the extent of one span, he left not.

60

He had surveyors, measure-taking;
A hundred scribes appointed to that work (of earth-measuring).

The measuring-line fixed, the dimension became evident;
The limits of the stage became conspicuous.

On dry-land, wherever he pitched his tent,
From stage to stage he measured the way.

Selangore Sultanate

2010-08-07T17:11:00.000-07:00

In ancient time, Selangor was not a unified state as it is now. But the places around Selangor were governed by ancient Malay Kingdom like Sri Vijaya based on the river settlements such as Kuala Selangor has its own settlement, Kelang river has its own settlement and so to Jugra-Langat river also had settelement of orang laut and there also some malay tribes from celebes settled there during monsoon, And so those rivers settlement will be administered by appointed headman called mandulika during sri vijaya times and penghulu during Melaka times, all these penghulu/mandulika of kuala selangor, kelang and jugra paid homage to reigning kings of Sri vijaya, then Melaka and followed by Johor Riau empire.. these small settlements served as feeder ports to support the needs of capital port like Palembanng (during sri vijaya), melaka port and riau-lingga port (during Johor riau kingdom), as vassal states they also have to provide manpower for navy fleets and soldiers to the capital during wars. That's why during siamese attack, kelang under its penghulu Tun Perak was recorded as the most prominent fighting battalion or garrison instrumental in defeating siamese army in both attempts around circa 1440- 1450's during Sultan Muzaffar Shah reign.
this settlements of oranglaut tribes had sworn to be the servants and fighting men for any reigning king from bukit seguntang palembang lineage and this was practiced for thousands of years.....
during johor riau empire, when the time of disputes and wars with holland or acheh or else, these rivers were populated by Bugis merceneries and traders as port for them to repair their ships, gathering goods for trading and settlement while waiting monsoon winds for sailing. before establishment of a proper state, there were records about titles like Raja Tua Selangor, Tok Engku Kelang, Tengku Kelana, penghulu and so forth, all were considered as the headmen of representatives to the reigning malay monarch. until during the times of 5bugis brothers controlling or patrolling the areas on behalf of the Sultan, the people of selangor wanted to have their own king fearing that current scenario of continuous warfare around the Malay archipelagos may one day expose these settlement to the dominions or colonization of the western powers especially from the dutch....\\
the situations were not certain here and there, where many wars broken here and there, thus these rivers settlements shall be unified and ruled by a king rather than been possessed by any western powers who always look for colony taking advantage during warring period.
since the bugis had populated the places and well mixed with the orang laut who were also of the same stock,, the people of selangor rivers preferred one of the 5 bugis prince selected to become their king and they favoured Opu Daeng Chelak to become the king. but this cannot been fulfilled, bexause Daeng Chelak was also needed to administer the johor riau empire as Yamtuan Muda (the underking to the Sultan of Johor), since his brother Daeng Perani was killed during a battle at kuala kedah therefore only Daeng Chelak could replace opu Daeng Merewah (the eldest, the first yamtuan muda) if Daeng Merewah died. Moreso, the younger brothers Daeng Kemasi and Daeng Menambun were both had find their place to become king at borneo e.g. Mempawah, Pontianak and Siantan.
for this purpose , a son of opu Daeng Chelak i.e. Daeng/Raja Lumu was tested with several endurance tests and rituals as to qualify to become a sultan and he passed all tests without any harms happened to his body, and therefore the Sultan of Perak who is direct descendant to Sri Vijaya Bukit Seguntang bloodline had invited raja lumu to come to Pulau Pangkor where on his way there were several tests conducted to test him to qualified as a king based on ancient malay kingdom customs and rituals..Seeing raja Lumu survived all tests then Sultan Perak had recognized raja lumu as the righteous person to become a sovereign king and bestowed with regalias and royal orghestra (Nobat) to complete the procession. then Raja Lumu was confirmed as the first sultan of Selangor with title Sultan Salehuddin Shah and qualified to bring home regalias and nobat with the players too who were called as Orang Kalau/Kelur and their posutions were inherited down to their descendants until now.

coup d'etat in ancient Malay Sultanate (Melaka) Part2

2010-04-21T11:58:00.000-07:00

Part2.

Tun Ali bin Mani Purindan is brother to Raja Kassim's mother. As uncle, he couldn't bear to see Raja Kassim who's an able man and fit to be the sultan live as peasant , as compared to the minor king that's being used by Raja Rokan to impose his influence on the administration of the kingdom. Tun Ali had many fiends of Muslims traders who started to frequently harbouring Melaka port. Their numbers were increased from time to time since the conversion of Melaka sultan to Islam. They comprised of traders from Gujerat, Benggala, Bombay, Hadhramaut, Jeddah, Habshah,Persia, Turkey and other smaller states.

Some of the ships of Muslim traders were also equipped with sufficient weaponry for the protection from piracy or any other enemies. Tun Ali met some Arab ship captains and told them the situation in Melaka, the only way to save it is through coup d'etat, considering the current support towards palace had weakened due to abuse of power by Raja Rokan where many ministers and court officials were not in favor with the running of the throne. One ship capatain agreed to the condition if this plan is successful, he wanted the Raja Paraeswara Dewa Syah's (the minor king)mother, the Puteri Rokan, been given to be his wife as reward for his mercenaries. Tun Ali agreeable to that.

At one black night, all the muslims ships crews from Arabs and India assembled at the port of Melaka complete with fighting weapon, Tun Ali and local fighting from those who sympathized with the fate of Raja kassim joined the attacking army. They move in the night to Bendahara Seri Wak Raja residence, with Raja Kassim on top of an elephant they stopped at the Bendahara's main gate. Tun Ali came to Bendahara's house and called Bendahara said the king summons Bendahara ("titah memanggil Datok naik ke gajah!!") to join his highness on the elephant waiting outside the gate at once. And so Dato Bendahara Sri Wak Raja rushed underdressed to the elephant thinking it is the reigning king waiting for him.

To his surprise it was Raja Kassim, not Raja Parameswara Dewa Syah. And he saw many fighting men complete with war gears surround the Raja Kassim elephant. Bendahara understood they all were there to invade the palace and overthrow the raja Rokan's men. Bendahara cannot say much but to condone and saying "Raja Kassim pun tuan kepada kita juga" or Raja Kassim is my lord too.

The attacking party moved to the palace and attacked at once. It were chaos and havoc that night. Raja Kassim ordered the men not to kill Raja Rokan first , fearing his brother the minor king who's always inhis arms be killed if they do anything unto Raja Rokan, but the atmosphere was so noisy with men shouting and fighting. The palace was defended mostly by palace guards and Raja Rokan's loyal men. Some soldiers knowing that this is a coup d'etat by the elder prince, stayed away from the fight and be neutral,

The palace side was defeated and the ianvading fighters did not know Raja Kassim order. They especially those who has long dislikened Raja Rokan's attitude and manners attacked him and had succeed to injure him. Knowing he was inh=jured he then killed the minor king first whilst many tried to take the king away from him but Raja Rokan hugged the king so tightly. With no choice they finished the life of Raja Rokan.. and the minor King was already dead by Raja Rokan's keris.

Tun Ali had selected one beautiful palace attendant to impersonate like Puteri Rokan, and she's given to the Arab ship capatain who has cooperated to bring Muslims trader to join the invading team.

Raja Kassim then succeeded to become the next Melaka king with title Sultan Muzaffar Syah where he is the first to use Sultan as the king title replacing formerly used Raja.. since the use of name Sultan, Islam then was considered to become official religion to Melaka kingdom and later on by all malays throughout Malays Archipelagoes.

Ancient Mariner - the spirit and courage

2010-01-22T06:46:00.000-08:00

"We're following the ancient Cinnamon Route," he says proudly, seated atop a coil of rope in the ship's bow as it skims across the Java Sea. "Indonesian ships sailed it thousands of years ago, bringing the spices of the islands to Africa and returning with iron, luxury goods such as ivory and leopard skins, and slaves. It was the beginning of global commerce."

Though largely unknown outside of the region, this was one of the first great achievements in marine exploration: centuries before anybody else engaged in regular long-distance voyages, mariners from the Malay Archipelago ruled the Indian Ocean. The Roman historian Pliny wrote in the first century A.D. about sailors arriving in Africa from the eastern sea on rafts, propelled not by sails but by "the spirit of man and human courage," carrying cinnamon and other spices.

Assalamualaikum YABhg. Tun and everyones,

I subscribe to the idea that BN should not loose the GE 13th, since the people had seen the ineffeciency of PR in administration of states under their control. So many have been witnessed by public the like adun resignation motions,changing side due to lack of confidence towards their leadership and so forth.

What DSNTR has to prove now onward is to prove that his administration is not like the former flip-flop-level 4-centered administration. He must get rid of those 5-year of disaster and its elements. and he must do it now or never.... 'cuz time flies fast...

Assalamualaikum Tun,

UMNO dan BN bersikap 'Gentlement' mengarahkan SPRM(BPR) melakukan siasatan perihal salahlaku yang boleh menyebabkan gejala 'rasuah' dari golongan bawahan hinggalah keperingkat kepimpinan. Dan jika terbukti ada kes perlulah dibawa kemuka pengadilan.

PAS, DAP, PKR - (PR) bagaimana?.

Sebab itulah, apabila berkaitan rasuah/salahlaku lebih menjuruskan BN, kerana PR tak berapa berani melaporkan, sebab ada 'dua alam'.

PAS Kelantan nak rasuah 'syurga'.
PR Selangor sedang disiasat, tapi tak ada lapuran kepada SPRM, cuma inisiatif SPRM sahaja. Yang jelas penyelewengan telah berlaku.

Rakyat perlu sedar sekarang parti manakah yang lebih telus.

Wassalam

Bhg 3 - Kedatangan dan pengaruh Bugis di Tanah Melayu

2009-08-28T16:54:00.000-07:00

Sedang Dinasti Bendahara memulakan tapak pemerintahan meneruskan kesinambungan kerajaan Johor Riau, kemudian muncul pula tuntutan takhta oleh Raja Kechil dari Siak yang mendakwa bahawa dia adalah anak kepada Sultan Mahmud ke2 yg telah mangkat itu. Bersama angkatannya yg disokong oleh kerajaan2 kecil di Sumatra terutama dari Kampar, Siak dan Minangkabau berserta bantuan dari orang laut yg mempercayai bahwa Raja Kechil Siak itu merupakan anakanda kepada sultan yg telah mangkat itu.
Maka mereka telah menyerang ibukota Johor riau ketika itu di kota tinggi Johor dengan matlamat merampas takhta kerajaan dari Sultan Abdul Jalil Riayat Shah bekas bendahara.

Pihak Sultan Abd Jalil akhirnya tewas dan bersama kaum kerabat dan pengiring serta pembesar yg ada melarikan diri ke Pahang dan Terengganu.

Pada masa huru hara politik yg berlaku pada kerajaan Johor Riau (empayar Melayu yang terakhir), peranan dan bantuan dari orang Melayu suku Bugis bakal menjadi penentu siapakah yang berhak menjadi raja Johor Riau.

Dari Sulawesi Selatan, Luwuk yg dikatakan negeri dan kerajaan yg tertua di tanah bugis, apabila kekandanya diangkat sebagai Raja negeri Luwuk maka Opu Tanreburong Daeng Rilaka yg mempunyai 5 orang anak lelaki iaitu Opu Daeng Merewah, Opu Daeng Perani,Opu Daeng Chelak, Opu Daeng Menambun dan Opu Daeng Kemasi telah berkira-kira hendak berkelana kerana tidak mahu anak-anakl lelaki nya yg mempunyai bakat, kemampuan dan berderajat hanya menjadi penjawat awam di istana atau di balai kerajaan kekandanya jika mereka kekal diam di Luwuk.

Pada Daeng Rilaka adalah lebih bermaruah berkelana meneroka peluang dan tempat orang dengan berdagang atau menyediakan tenaga askar upahan mana2 negeri melayu yg memerlukan pertolongan. Dengan membawa nama baik dan keupayaan yg ada lagi baik dicuba mencari khidmat dan nama di negeri orang.Hendaknya di zaman itu sudah tiada lagi kerajaan melayu yg benar2 berwibawa dan kuat, semuanya telah berpecah pecah menjadi negeri kecil dan menjaga hal ehwal masing2 aje.

Ini kerana sejak kedatangn portugis dan tumbangnya empayar Melaka, hanya kerajaan Johor Riau dan kerajaan Acheh sj yg dianggapkerajaan besar untuk menaung kerajan2 kecil yg ada. Makin pula masing2 selalu berperang sesama sendiri, makin mudahlah Belanda meluaskan lagi jajahan dengan menguasai perdagangan rempah kerana kerajaan melayu ketika itu jika tidak berperang dengan portugis maka akan berperang sesama sendiri seperti Acheh yg besar kemudian mahu menguasai pula neger12 yg sebelum itu bernaung di bawah Johor Riau seperti Perak dan Kedah yg sentiasa di ganggu dan diserang. dan juga Pahang.

Lama kelamaan kerjaan2 melayu semakin lemah dan kehabisan sumber,keadaan ini makin memudahkan Belanda sedikit demi sedikit menguasai perdagangan rempah dari laluan kepulauan maluku ke nusantara.

Kedatangan Pengaruh Bugis di tanah Semenanjung dan kepulauan Melayu - Bahagian 2

Dari Dinasti Kesultanan Melaka, pemerintahan kerajaan Johor-Riau beralih kepada Dinasti Bendahara. Sultan Mahmud II yg mangkat dibunuh, pada tahun 1699, terlalu muda, 24 tahun, dan tidak mempunyai anak. Dikatakan baginda tidak mau bersama tidur dengan permaisuri dan isteri2nya yg ada. Dikatakan baginda mpunyai perangai yg pelik dan percaya bahawa dia hanya layak untuk bersama dengan perempuan bangsa kayangan ataupun peri, iaitu sebenarnya kaum bunian. Banyak catatan tentang keburukan sikap baginda yg akhirnya menyebabkan pupusnya pemerintahan kesultanan yg berasal dari Melaka di Johor-Riau.

Ketika itu Bendahara Johor-Riau adalah Tun Abdul Jalil ibni Bendahara Tun Habib Abdul Majid yang anakanda-anakandanya dan keturunannya memerintah di Terengganu (sehingga sekarang) dan Pahang (sehingga sekarang). Bendahara Tun Abdul Jalil kemudian mengambilalih tampuk pemerintahan dengan menjadi Sultan Abdul Jalil Riayat Syah.

Kedatangan Pengaruh Bugis di tanah Semenanjung dan kepulauan Melayu

Bugis adalah salah satu dari suku kaum Melayu, yang mana, suku kaum Melayu yg lain adalah seperti Minangkabau, Banjar, Jawa, Melayu Patani, Mandahiling, Acheh, Brunei, Moro, Orang Laut, Melayu Champa(Kemboja), Rawa, Kerinchi dan byk lagi. Asal orang Bugis adalah dari Sulawesi, lebih tepat lagi Selatan Sulawesi yg merangkumi negeri2 kecil seperti states like Luwuk, Bone, Wajo, Soppeng and Gowa/Makassar/Mengkasar.

Sekitar tahun 1669 masehi, setelah berperang dengan sengitnya di laut dan di darat, kerajaan utama dan terbesar di Selatan Sulawesi iaitu kerajaan Gowa Makasar yg berpusat di kota Ujung Pandang (juga dikenali kota Makasar), akhirnya terpaksa menerima residen Belanda dan menandatangani perjanjian damai yg juga mengaku kalah dengan pihak VOC Belanda yg juga dibantu oleh angkatan tentera dari kerajaan2 yg bermusuh dgn kerajaan Gowa Makasar seperti Bone, Madura dan Jatelah wa.

Terdapat beberapa lagi kerajaan Bugis di Selatan Sulawesi yg membentuk negeri masing2 dan kerajaan yg tertua sekali di kalangan mereka ialah Luwu', yg dikatakan kerajaan yg asal sebelum wujud kerajan2 lain.

Pada tahun 1699 pula, berlaku tragedi dan kegawatan yg sangat besar ke atas empayar Melayu yg tertua iaitu kerajaan Johor-Riau, waris kepada empayar Melaka yg berasal dari kerajaan Sri Vijaya yg menguasai Selat Melaka dan Laut China Selatan selama 1000 tahun. Sultan Mahmud kedua telah dibunuh oleh pembesar nya semasa di atas usungan. Sultan Mahmud kedua adalah waris terakhir kerajaan Johor Riau yg dari salasilah Melaka dan Sri Vijaya. Terdapat juga waris kerajan Melaka tetapi memerintah di negeri Perak yg berasal dari Sultan Muzaffar Shah anak kepada Sultan Mahmud Melaka dari isteri Tun Teja. Manakala yg menyambung pemerintahan Johor Riau pula adalah dari waris Sultan Alaudin anak Sultan Mahmud Melaka dari isterinya Tun Fatimah.

Sultan Mahmud kedua tidak mempunyai waris ini kerana baginda mangkat dibunuh di usia yg muda 24 tahun dan mempunyai perangai yg sangat pelik dan teruk, di mana dikatakan baginda tidak mahu bergaul dengan isteri-isterinya kononnya baginda hanya layak bergaul dengan isteri dari kaum bunian yg bukan manusia. Terdapat banyak rekod dari catatan tempatan dan juga orang Eropah yg pernah berjumpa baginda yg menunjukkan sikap zalim dan pelik sehingga ketahap tidak layak untuk menjadi raja lagi jika mengikut undang-undangraja-raja Melayu yg menuntut seorang raja Melayu perlulah waras dan mematuhi waadat perjanjian Sang Sapurba-Demang Lebar Daun (perjanjian antara raja dan hamba rakyat yg dipersetujui semasa kerajaan Sri Vijaya Palembang lagi iaitu seorang Raja Melayu tidak akan mengaibkan hamba rakyatnya walau besar mana dosanya, hanya perlu dijatuhkan hukuman mengikut kesalahannya tetapi tidak dimalukan, dan disebelah rakyat pula hendaklah taat setia tidak derhaka kepada rajanya walau besar mana dosanya), di dalam kes Sultan Mahmud Kedua ini, baginda telah mencabul perjanjian ini dengan memberi aib dan kejam dengan menhukum belah perut seorang perempuan yg mengandung yg merupakan isteri kepada Laksamananya hanya kerana perempuan itu telah memakan nangka raja kerana mengidam.

Akibat kejadian yg amat aib dan kejam ini perempuan itu telah dipotong perut nya yg sedang bunting untuk memuaskan kehendak baginda yg mahu melihat betulkah anak kandungan itu yg hendak memakan nangka itu. Setelah kejadian itu, maka hilanglah kesetian di sebelah pembesar yg mewakili rakyat, di mana para pembesar dari Bendahara hingga ke Laksamana memutuskan untuk menamatkan riwayat raja ini.

Maka huru-haralah kerajaan Melayu Johor Riau tidak mempunyai tuan lagi, tampuk pemerintahan telah berpindah ketangan dinasti Bendahara pula. Mengikut undang-undang raja Melayu jika Sultan sudah tiada lagi dan tiada waris maka Bendahara lah yg layak untuk menggantikannya.

Mengajar Sains dan Matematik dalam Bahasa Inggeris - Why NOT ???

Assalamualaikum YABhg Tun dan pembaca semua,
Saya hanya menggeleng kepala melihat gelagat mereka yg menentang apa yg dirujuk sebagai PPSMI. Sampai begitu sekali mereka berdemonstrasi bagaikan menentang musuh. Keadaan menjadi semakin haru bila para hipokrit dan opportunis/pengambilkesempatan dari pelbagai parti politik pun turut tumpang tui sekali.

Pada asalnya saya tidak mahulah mengulas isu ini takut nanti akan ada kecenderungan untuk salah tafsir tetapi nampak gayanya masih ramai tidak dapat menghalusi matlamat utamanya. Saya amat berkeyakinan BUKANlah MAKSUD sebenar Tun Dr Mahathir yg melaksanakannya untuk MEMPERTIDAKKAN atau MEMPERLEKEHKAN bahasa ibundanya apatah lagi untuk memperagungkan bahasa penjajah. Amat DANGKAL andaian itu, siapakah yg betul2 berani bersuara menegur amalan dwi-standard negara barat atau juga ada yg menggelar 'western hypocracy' terutama dalam hal perdagangan bebas, liberalisasi, kawalan dagang, hak asasi manusia, campurtangan asing dan pendemokrasian tidak berpilih, secara konsisten beliau bersuara bukan di gelanggang sendiri tetapi di gelanggang dunia, bukan sperti kebanyakan kita yg hanya jaguh kampung sembang deras di kedai kopi sahaja tapi tidak berani ke luar, beliau bercakap di rostrum Perhimpunan Agung PBB (UN General Assembly)sebagaimana diwarisi oleh HUgo Chavez dan Ahmadinejad, beliau bersuara di sidang APEC, WEF, NAM, CHOGM, South-South, dan apa saja termasuklah ketika sessi soal jawab dan temuramah dgn CNN & BBC yg wartawannya telah bersedia rapi dgn soalan2 yg menjurus ke arah agenda mereka (Leading questions).
Saya percaya bahawa melaksanakan PPSMI adalah perlu sebagai antara strategi untuk mencapai MATLAMAT kita menjadi bangsa yg benar2 maju dan mampu menghasilkan tamadun baru.
Ia dibuat dengan bersebab!!! Bukan suka-suka.

Cuba fikir, mengapa hanya 2 subjek sahaja ????? Iaitu Sains dan Matematik saja.
Mengapa tidak semua subjek di'inggeris'kan???????? kalau betullah niat Tun dan menterinya ketika itu hendak mengagungkan bahasa asing dan mempertidakkan keupayaan bahasa Melayu.

Ini kerana -

1. Kita hanya ada 11 tahun lagi untuk mencapai matlamat kita menjadi bangsa yg maju dan mengungguli tamadun menhjelang 2020. Kita jangan terikut bangsa lain yg selesa dgn apa yg mereka ada, asal cukup makan dapat hidup cukup. Kita tak boleh BERTATIH lagi sebagaimana generasi kita sekarang, generasi anak2 kita yg boleh dibentuk itu perlu mampu BERLARI untuk mencapai sasaran dengan cepat sebagai mana semangat orang German "Vorsprung Durch Technik!!" di mana mereka sudah sampai dahulu dengan teknik dan teknologi yg maju.

Kita jangan mudah saja mentakrif untuk menjadi bangsa maju dengan hanya dengan kekayaan kita membeli barang orang, menjadi pengguna teknologi orang saja, dengan mempunyai infrastruktur termoden dengan bangunan tinggi sahaja dan kaya ekonomi saja. Itu tafsiran separuh jalan saja. Sedang kita masih lagi bertaraf BANGSA PENGGUNA saja di zaman sekarang ini.

Kita perlu sekurang-kurangnya menerokai penghasilan teknologi baru atau tamadun baru yg boleh digunakan oleh masyarakat dunia dan dikomersilkan secara massa di peringkat dunia seperti orang Yunani/Greek menyumbang teori dan falsafah politik, kenegaraan, hukum alam dan bintang, sejarah, orang Cina memperkenalkan kertas & bahan letupan, orang India dengan falsafah hidup dan perubatan awal, orang Arab menggabungkan ilmu perubatan Greek dan India untuk menjadi ilmu perubatan yg universal menjadi asas kepada ilmu perubatan moden dari barat pula,orang Arab juga telah berjaya menyelesaikan masalah matematik yg tidak dapat dieselesaikan oleh ilmuwan Greek sebelum itu dengan sistem nombor yg lebih banyak, algebra, algoritma dan persamaan. Tapi sebelum itu mereka pun kena belajar matematik kuno Greek dalam bahasa Greek (bukan yg diterjemahkan ya!!) ini kerana mereka hendak menguasai (mastering) ilmu tersebut yg ditulis dengan bahasa penciptanya mengikut konteks bangsa itu, maka Ibnu Sina ke, Al Khawarizmi ke, Ibnu Rashid ke dan sesiapa saja terlebih dahulu mempelajari/mengkaji ilmu asas/kuno dalam bahasa Greek dan kemudian bila mereka berjaya menghasilkan kaedah atau rumusan baru yg dapat menyelesaikan atau mengatasi ilmu yg asal itu barulah mereka menulis penghasilan baru mereka di dalam kitab dengan bahasa sendiri yakni bahasa Arab atau pun Farsi. Kemudian apabila orang Eropah telah mula celik dari kegelapan (rennaisance from dark ages) mereka pun datang menuntut ilmu perubatan, matematik, sains, astronomi dan kejuruteraan awal dari orang-orang Islam dalam bahasa Arab.

Kalau nak tunggu semua kitab2 tibb dan lain2 ilmu dari dunia Arab yg beribu2 dulu diterjemahkan dulu yg memakan masa bertahun2 kemudian diajarkan pula dalam bahasa sendiri dan kemudian bila ada permasalahan atau bila ada buku rujukan baru dari bahasa Arab terpaksalah panggil balik penterjemah untuk tolong terjemahkan l;agi, alamat lambatlah bangsa Eropah nak jadi maju seperti sekarang ni. Mereka pun datang belajar ilmu asas dalam bahasa Arab dahulu, bila sudah "master" baru mereka mencambahkan ilmu itu dan ditulis dalam bahasa Eropah pula.

Amerika pun nak mencedok teknologi German kena belajar dalam bahasa German , nasib baik ramai saintis yahudi German berhijrah ke Amerika maka dapatlah Amerika ilmu segera.

2. Menyedari perkara ini, dizaman sekarang buku2 rujukan terkini tentang teknologi2 yang canggih ditulis dalam bahasa inggeris kerana ini zaman mereka yg menguasai tamadun. Penemuan teknologi baru dan penerbitan buku2 baru yg ditulis dalam bahasa inggeris sangat pantas, setiap jam ada saja penerbitan baru tak kiralah dalam bentuk buku atau jurnal atau risalah atau artikel atau internet pun. Kita jgn menyombong bodoh kan diri. Orang inggeris pun masa hendak mengecek ilmu dari orang Arab sanggup buang sombong mereka dulu dan belajar.

Maka eloklah anak2 kita yg akan kita harapkan menjadi peneroka atau penghasil teknologi2 baru atau ilmu ketamadunan baru yg belum direka orang lain belajar dahulu ilmu sains dan matematik dalam bahasa mereka dulu supaya mereka dengan mudah diberi apa buku pun mereka sudah biasa dengan istilah2/terminologi atau namakhas2 yg berasal dari bahasa inggeris dengan laju dan cepat. Kita tak boleh membuang masa sangat, berlengah-lengah. Yang berpusisi dan bersyair pun ada tempatnya tetap kita martabatkan, begitu juga yg hendak menggali ilmu teknologi baru biarlah mereka mahir dalam ilmu itu dan menguasainya betul2 dalam konteks penghasil ilmu itu. Kemudian jika mereka hendak menulis atau merekod penghasilan baru mereka bolehlah ditulis dalam bahasa Melayu kita pula. Di waktu itulah baru berduyun2 orang dari segenap penjuru alam datang dengan rela hati belajar ilmu baru dalam bahasa Melayu jika mereka hendak menguasai teknologi baru yg orang kita sendiri hasilkan.

Barulah bahasa kita akan kembali menjadi Lingua Franca seperti di zaman2 sebelum abad ke 16 dahulu di mana sesiapa yg hendak berdagang di peringkat global disebelah timur kena tahu bahasa Melayu dari Filipina ke Papua ke Fiji merentas lautan sampai ke Sri Lanka, India Selatan dan Madagscar bahasa Melayu digunapakai jika dua bangsa berlainan hendak berkomunikasi. Kenapa ?? Adakah mana2 badan yg memaksa mereka berbahasa Melayu??? Tiada, tetapi mereka sendiri yg memilih kerana merasai ia perlu, ini disebabkan kan orang2 Melayu dulu kala (bukan Melayu sekarang ya!!) yakni dari zaman Sri Vijaya dan Melaka telah menguasai perdagangan antarabangsa di mana emaapyar bangsa Melayu dahulukala telah menyeragamkan (standardization) sistem pentadbiran dan pengurusan dagang santeri yang juga melibatkan perdagangan asing dengan sistem cukai teratur, pengurusan pelabuhan, sistem timbang dan sukat, perundangan sehinggakan undang2 atas kapal dagang pun diseragamkan seperti bidang kuasa nakhoda, bidang kuasa juru malim, hukum dan denda sebarang kesalahan atas kapal, pembahagian petak atau lot2 barang dagangan, pembahagian untung antara pemodal dengan agennya yg akan mengikut barang dagang ke tempat asing.

Sekurang2nya pada zaman tiadanya telefon, TV, radio dan suratkhabar dulu, seluruh Asia Tenggara menggunapakai atau merujuk kepada dokumen Undang-Undang Laut Melaka dan Hukum Kanun Melaka. Kalau ke Maluku atau ke Sulawesi pun jika berlaku pertikaian maka perbicaraan dan penjatuhan hukum adalah sama dengan yg dilaksanakan di Melaka atau di Acheh atau di Kedah.

Maka dengan itu layaklah bahasa Melayu ketika zaman itu menjadi bahasa perlu oleh pelbagai bangsa iaitu Lingua Franca.
Tapi sekarang apakah penghasilan kita???????? maka perlulah kita berakit2 ke hulu, berenang2 ketepian, bersakit2 dahulu dengan belajar Sains dan Matematik dalam bahasa Inggeris, bersenang2 kemudian jika bila kita dah menguasainya dan menghasilkan penemuan baru pula.

takkan baru susah sikit dah nak mengeluh teriak, susahlah kita nak mencapai matlamat.
Hang Tuah pasal tahu banyak bahasalah dia dapat menjadi handal dan popular pasal banyak ilmu dari pelbagai bangsa dia dapat belajar, takkanlah kalau dia nak belajar ilmu samurai dia kena paksa guru samurai tu belajar bahasa Melayu dan ajar dia dalam bahasa Melayu, tak patutlah macam tu bang. Tak hilang pun Melayu Hang Tuah bahkan lagi hebat lagi dia boleh redah mana2 tempat asing.

Penakluk ibukota empayar Bizantium Rom iaitu Sultan Mehmet dari Bani Othmaniah/Ottoman menguasai 7 bahasa antarnya Turkish, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, Persian dan Latin menjelang umurnya 21 tahun ketika menewaskan Constantinople. Tak hilang pun bisa dia dan jatidiri Muslim Turki beliau bahkan satu Eropah kenal beliau.

Assalamualaikum to YABhg Tun and all

Many thanks for sharing some insights of what is happening now on the global economics.. It's really terrifying. Just like waiting "what is next?" another another suicides, another new names, another terms, another schemes and so forth. The money and funds traders, speculators and brokers are so powerful more than able to bring down a government, but half of the world would suffer for all their doings.
Now it starts to hit them back again and again but will they learn how to become responsible manager rather than manipulator???

Fiscal policy is important part of actual economics. Through a fiscal policy then we can see how good or effective such a government decision is, creation of jobs, distribution of wealths and flow of money in the market.
The true and physical trading is where we can see how goods are moving from hands to hands, actual cash is there and markets determined by supply and demand. However, these people trade money for money which is not good at all. Just papers. No goods been traded. These greedy lust manipulators gained profits from elasticity of money values, the difference that they expected from up and down of the currency values and it is just similar to gambling.
That is why the real money is Gold. A tangible value. Wealth and banknotes/money shall be measured against gold, not against paper. Gold cannot be manipulated because it has real value unlike paper which merely artificial value. Gold values are hardly depreciated as time moves. Thus tendency of people becomes poorer due to depreciation of cash in hand as a result of currency values going up & down by speculations can be prevented. This will ensure prosperity to be enjoyed by general public at large, instead of making them as victims of these few money traders.

When Tun Dr Mahathir proposed to muslim countries leaders as well as to the world to use back gold as currency to be used in international trades, to be used in the martket for business transactions, and for sell & purchase of goods or services as the mean to counter or to subtitute our dependency on US Dollars/greenback in economics, he was IGNORED. This include Tun's successor, i.e. DS Abdullah Badawi, who supposed to continue this proposal by implementing this when he took office as PM, BUT Tun's successor, a grandson of a prominent Ulamak, himself had abandoned this proposal fearing it will affect his image re-branding attempts to the Malaysian people to potray him as "different from Mahathir". During early years after taking over PM office when all Mahathir's policies, planning and projects had been re-branded, some been cancelled, some been put on-hold & some been modified just to show to the public that his new administration is cleaner than before, projecting himself as do not want to 'waste money' on 'mega projects' which later on were proven as merely cosmetic and worst he obviously so quick spending government money for other things that not give benefit to the country except to his family and people who is in his family's favour.

Dependencies on USD in inter countries trading are just encourage greedy people in the world financial instruments to continue abuse their finance technical know-how on and on to the extent they could use it to attack any non-ally countries who do not conform to their agenda or policies, where they will be punished by devaluating their currencies vs USD, to make the people in the target country poorer and then create unrest in the country, and then through some local leaders, normally the oppositions or anti-establisments groups who are willing to become ally to them, the so-called 'regime change' will be initiated to make demand to bring down the existing government by ochestrated propaganda where public will be tuned to blame the economic downturn on their government with such allegations the like mismanagement, cronysme, nepotisme, irregularities, corruptions, dictator, scandals and many more politically financial jargons will be heard. We can witness all these from what had happened to Suharto, Zimbabwe and our country also was nearly fallen to this trap when DS Anwar Ibrahim so confident with his back-up and supports given by the USA to install him as Malaysian Prime Minister as a reward for his willingness to cooperate with financial intruments under US control like IMF and Worl Bank to allow Malaysian financial mechanism been adjusted and collapse the economy into turmoil. This is to press Tun Mahathir, who was so vocal towards US and Israel policies, to step down for being responsible on allegedly as the cause to the economic downturn with the support from the media in promoting the words cronysme and nepotisme. However the real cause was ignored.
With God's help, Tun Dr Mahathir and his economic advisers/strategist had successfully brought the country out of the turmoil

faster than what were forecasted by using unorthodox financial control measures, against all odds. The culprit i.e. DSAI lastly caught red-handed. In the beginning, many condemnations received from international financial "experts", and many groups in this country, due to their inferiority complex when facing the "experts", were also joined with the international financial experts laughing at Tun Dr Mahathir's prescriptions.

However, in duetime, as we can witness now, the truth prevails. They lick back their own spit. God wills cannot be denied. This serve as reminder for us not to be greedy and arrogant. We have to use gold as the currency to clean back the economy. When Tun Dr Mahathir proposed the use of gold dinar (DINAR EMAS) to replace dollar (in the year 2003, OIC), the price of 916 gold was around RM45 - RM60 per gram and now at RM80 - RM95 per gram. Is that not enough for value comparison??? How rich we could be now?, double the wealth, right?, if we adopt that gold dinar. Just like what our prophet SAW practice.

coup d'etat in ancient malay sultanate - part 1

2009-02-24T13:56:00.000-08:00

according to sulalatus salatin (the malay annals), a narrative records of Melaka Sultanate, there was a coup d'etat during the early establishment of this kingdom.

Sultan Muhammad Syah has many wives. So, the wife of royal blood has priority of her son to become heir of the throne. however when Sultan Muhammad Syah died, the heir of royal blood was still a minor, around 5 - 7 years of age, which obviously had no interest about ruling a kingdom or a government. At the same time, the late sultan has another elder son but not of royal blood wife, that was Raja Kassim.

The minor heir was installed as new king of Melaka as Parameswara Dewa Syah. His mother was Puteri Raja Rokan (Rokan was one of vassal state of Melaka). Since he was still a minor knowing nothing about the affairs of state administration, trading and protocols except playing with his peers and servants. Things became worst when the Raja of Rokan, father to Puteri Rokan as well as king's grandfather, take opportunity of his status as grandfather to become like an acting king of Melaka since the minor king was always in his arms (didokong) wherever the king was is there would be Raja Rokan.

The elder son of former king of another wife was Raja Kassim. His mother was of noblewoman with tamil muslim blood as her father was Dato' Mani Purindan a richman who claimed he's a royal blood from India who not been chosen to become king there and seek fortune in Melaka with all his households and followers and paid homage and loyalty to KIng of Melaka and become the King's subjects forever with all his households and followers, he came from southern india to Melaka and pledge loyalty to the King of Melaka and all his descendents will adopt all the customs, language and laws of Melaka forever.

Since Raja Kassim, eventhough he is older than the minor king, well-learned, sound knowledge of state's affairs and administrative and protocols, was not given the right to become King of Melaka and so he brought himself to live as ordinary people at port of Melaka, stay in his common people relatives and worked at port just like other commoners.

At the court Melaka, the minor king was just like a puppet and the real ruler was Raja Rokan his grandfather who sits on the throne with the king in his arms in the 'balai penghadapan' and 'balai rong seri'. Gradually these situations had caused some restless among the ministers, the officers and the knights who slowly realized that they were ruled by an acting king of a vassal state of Melaka, a tributary state it was. They all were in the state of dilemma.

There is only One God, He is neither beget nor begotten

2009-02-24T09:08:00.000-08:00

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahiwabarakatuh, Salam sejahtera kepada semua, Shalom eleikhem to our brethren too....peace be upon us who who bear witness there is no other God than God himself, the One, Ahad, "I Am Who I Am", Allah Azza wa Jalla, He the only One, the same God who created Adam pbuh and Eve, the same God who sends Noah pbuh, the same God who sends Abraham pbuh to become the father of many great nations and father to many great prophets of the same religion from the sky that is called "agama samawi" or semite thru Ishmael pbuh and thru Isaac/Ishak pbuh who then from their blood and descendents come so many prophets of the jews and of arabs by God willings and of any nations because only Him Who Knows All and Created All.

Through Isaac pbuh then come Yaacob/Jacob pbuh and Jacob pbuh had 12 sons who then generate the 12 tribes of son of Israel/Yisrael another name given to Jacob pbuh. From this bloodlines, whom God has sent so many great prophets who teach man to worship only One God, the Creator, the Almighty. They were Joseph (Yusof), Moses (Musa), Aaron (Harun), David (Daud), Solomon (Sulaiman), Ezekiel (Zulfifli), Elijah (Alias), Elisha(Iliyasak), Zachariah(Zakaria), Jonah (Yunus), John the baptist (Yahaya) and Jesus Christ (Isa al Masih) peace be upon them, who were sent by God as His Messengers and Prophets.
Through Ishmael pbuh, he was sent to a far desert from his homeland Kana'an in Palestine , by God command and God knows He wants and what is good for His creatures. The desert now is Mekah where there's Kaabah the Baitullah, a place where God has chosen to be blessed where the Last Prophet was to be born , descendent of prophet Abraham pbuh through his son, who was forgotten by many, Ishmael pbuh, a prophet to accomplish God's revelations, the true teachings from God, to correct what were been misinterpreted, to correct the false beliefs, to correct and verify the holy books and teachings that some had been manipulated, erased, exagerrated, modified, etcetera etcetera.... by the fake rabbis and followers who were so possessive to his own interests or racism of nationhood that only children of Israel as the chosen people and also by fake apostle like Paul who never met Jesus pbuh when Jesus was on earth and then after the disappearance of Jesus pbuh who was replaced by his traitor Judas Iscariot by God wills who can change the vision and the face of a person to be look a like Jesus that he tried to betray and then that body of Judas Iscariot was the one been crucified by the Romans soldiers on the cross.
Come back to that fake apostle, Paul, who then claimed that on one journey he saw the image of Jesus asking him to become apostle and then that Paul with that story learned from the actual 12 apostles and followed them and learned until he got the idea to alter gospels that he got from the 12 apostles and he modified some of the verses to make people confuse and then brought to the western side of rome empire and teach the pagan romans, pagan greeks and some pagan europeans a new religion that he claimed he got from prohet Jesus Christ pbuh but with some additional doctrines that were trinity, by idolizing the prophet as 'son of god' (God forbids) to the people in the Roman empire and Europe. He manipulated the facts that Jesus has no father and miracles given by God permission were the evidence that what he claimed Jesus is son of god, who can heal the disease, can live the dead, and many other miracles (mukjizat) to become as Jesus himself part of god or whatsoever and then with story that god come the earth in the form of Jesus to redeem all human sins on the cross as sacrifice, or he sends his only son to earth to be sacrificed to redeem human sins and all the make-up stories that confused so many people inthe world with a new secondhanded religion called Roman Catholic.
That is why God sends the final prophet who then will tell the truths, the true stories of Jesus Christ pbuh, as well as other great prophets from the beginning, from all races, and many also great prophets from his brethren that is Israel, were also been told and verified by the final prophet Nabi Muhammad SAW/Peace be upon him, to tell the good news to all believers without any discrimination, no such chosen people, but only God fearing people from any family, any race, any tribe, any nation, is blessed by God as long as the man is fear of God, the man follows, observes and practices what is commanded by God and avoids what God has forbidden. The teachings that all humans are equal only what makes them difference were their beliefs, their practices and their hearts that trust there is only one God that is Allah and Muhammad SAW is His Messenger, the last messenger. and fear God.

Russia to send ships, planes to Venezuela

By IAN JAMES, Associated Press Writer Mon Sep 8, 6:35 PM ET
CARACAS, Venezuela - Russia's plan to deploy ships and warplanes to the Caribbean for joint military exercises with Venezuela is allowing President Hugo Chavez to capitalize on tensions between Moscow and the U.S. and showcase a growing military alliance.
Russia announced on Monday that it will send a naval squadron and long-range patrol planes for the exercises later this year — a move that appeared retaliatory after the U.S. sent warships to deliver aid to Georgia following its conflict with Russia.
The deployment is expected to be the largest Russian naval maneuvers in the Caribbean — and perhaps the Western Hemisphere — since the Cold War.
Chavez considers the U.S. a defense threat, and his welcoming of the Russian navy contrasted with his sharp criticism of the recent reactivation of the U.S. Navy's Fourth Fleet for the Caribbean and Latin America. He ridiculed possible U.S. concerns about the Russian deployment on Sunday, saying: "Go ahead and squeal, Yankees."
"This is vintage Chavez. He rarely misses an opportunity to needle and provoke Washington," said Michael Shifter, an analyst at the Washington-based think tank Inter-American Dialogue. "He is taking advantage of the growing chill in U.S.-Russia relations, especially over the situation in Georgia, to poke his finger in (President) Bush's eye. There is nothing he relishes more."
Chavez says the U.S. Fourth Fleet — which was dissolved after World War II — poses a threat to the region. U.S. officials say the fleet will help maintain security while performing humanitarian missions and counter-drug operations.
Anna Gilmour, an analyst at Jane's Intelligence Review, said she believes the exercises will be primarily for the benefit of Venezuela, which has been drawing closer to Russia and buying weapons from Kalashnikov assault rifles to Sukhoi fighter jets. She said the maneuvers also appear to be a response to the relaunch of the U.S. Fourth Fleet.
"By allowing Russian vessels to dock at Venezuelan ports, Chavez is sending the message that the U.S. is not the only major power active in the Caribbean," Gilmour said.
The U.S. government, however, appeared unconcerned.
U.S. State Department spokesman Sean McCormack poked fun at Russia's navy, saying if Russia really intends to send ships to the Caribbean, "then they found a few ships that can make it that far."
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Andrei Nesterenko insisted that Russia's decision to send a naval squadron and planes to Venezuela was made before Russia's war with Georgia and is unrelated to the conflict.
But last week, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin warned that Russia would mount an unspecified response to recent U.S. aid shipments to Georgia using Navy vessels on the Black Sea.
Shifter said it's clear Russia in "unhappy about the U.S.'s increasing presence in the Black Sea" and "as part of its resurgent nationalism, Russia wants to flex its muscles and remind Washington that it too has important alliances in the U.S. backyard."

I strongly believe that the earliest Malay empire in this region was Kerajaan Funan (Atau Raja Gunung) yang memerintah seluruh Indocina (sekarang Vietnam, Kemboja, Laos dan Thailand), Segenting Kra, Semenanjung Tanah Melayu ataupun Hujung Tanah dan Kepulauan sekitarnya.

Hanya disebabkan sekarang masing2 mempunyai negara masing2 dan cuba menghapuskan kebenaran fakta bahawa pada awalnya abad pertama hingga ke tujuh pusat pemerintahan orang Melayu adalah di Tanah Besar sebelum berlaku perpecahan dan peperangan yang terlalu kerap, maka berlakulah migrasi atau perpindahan kawasan kekuasaan atau ketuanan dari Funan di utara menurun ke selatan di kawasan Langkasuka dan Pantai Timur di kawasan Kelantan, Petani, Yala dan Ligor. Disitulah kembalinya bertapak kerajaan Melayu yg runtuh dari Funan, menjadi asas kepada kerajaan Sri Vijaya di mana selepas beberapa tempoh, Raja Jayanasa dengan angkatan tenteranya sebanyak 20,000 orang beserta pengikut dan kaum keluarganya telah berhijrah ke pulau Sumatera di Palembang dan kembali menguasai seluruh kawasan kepulauan Sumatera, Riau, Borneo, Mindanao, Maluku dan Sulawesi.

Kerajaan Sri Vijaya dan keluarga diraja Sailendra di pulau Jawa barat mengakui bahawa mereka adalah keturunan raja-raja gunung iaitu Funan.

Maka di sini kita dapat lihat kesinambungannya pd abad pertama hingga ke 7, kerjaan Funan yg paling besar dan berkuasa di Asia Tenggara, kemudian setelah ia runtuh, berkerajaan sementara di utara semenanjung sehingga mereka memutuskan untuk menjadikan Palembang sebagai ibukota baru pada abad ke 8 dengan nama baru iaitu Sri Vijaya sempena berjayanya mereka mendapatkan kekuasaan memerintah di Asia Tenggara serta kembali menguasai laluan dagangan yg amat penting antara timur dan barat iaitu Laut China Selatan dan Selat Melaka.

Kembali kepada kerajaan Funan, kita dapat saksikan betapa kukuhnya bangsa ini walaupun dihimpit dengan kuasa2 baru iaitu Annam (Vietnam), Khmer (Kemboja) dan Siam (Thailand) bangsa Melayu Champa telah dilindungi Tuhan untuk kekal sehingga sekarang menjadi sebahagian dari masyarakat utama di Kemboja masakini di kawasan Kompong Cham ("Kampung Champa") dan sekitarnya. Merekalah pewaris yang tabah dan kekal di tanah besar Indo China sehingga sekarang walaupun cuba dihapuskan oleh kerjaan Annam dan cuba dihapuskan oleh Khmer Rouge, namun Alhamdulillah ia selamat dan dapat dikekalkan sebagai tanda bahawa orang Melayu pernah berkuasa di sana.

Apa yg perlu dilakukan adalah dengan mengekalkan persaudaraan dan saling bantu membantu dengan masyarakat melayu kemboja (champa) ini sebagai saudara kita juga, dengan membenarkan mereka juga berniaga di Semenanjung ini disamping saudara2 yang lain dari Indonesia, selatan Thailand dan juga filipina yg diaku sebagai saudara ras Melayu.

Maka boleh kita simpulkan bahawa turutan kesinambungan kerajaan Melayu adalah seperti berikut -

Kerajaan Funan 1st Century - 7th Century

Empayar Sri Vijaya 8th Century - 14th Century (the longest empire)

Kesultanan Melaka 15th Century - early 16th Century

Kesultanan Johor Riau 16th Century - 18th Century

Colonial Era 18th Century - 19th Century - early 20th century

Modern Day Malaysia, Indonesia & Brunei sekarang

sekian

Aku sekali lagi nak share cerita ex-UTK yg jadi bos security tempat keje lama aku. Sebagai UTK, mission dia, SHOOT TO KILL atau ESCORT VVIP (PM / TPM dll). So dalam keje Escort mengescort nih, banyak kali juga dia mengescort Anwar. Nak dijadikan cerita, bila malam hari dekat hotel (kerja outstation) Anwar akan kata kat bodyguard UTK ni, “Datuk-datuk tak payah ikut saya. Duduk di hotel, saya ada hal sebentar”. Bila? Malam hari. Apa dia buat? Ntah tapi keluar hotel dgn bukan kereta rasmi ikut pintu belakang menyorok-nyorok. Yg biasanya dia buat, dia kata biasalah…. So, aku kenal bebenar org yg cerita ni, so 85% aku percaya. So… kita pikirlah sendiri.
Macam yg korang kata, minta Allah tunjukkan siapa yg melakukan kesalahan, mendapat balasannya & kita mendapat petunjuk untuk pemimpin yg benar-benar peminpin…
Pilihan aku…..
Che Det (tapi bagilah kat org lain pulak, sebab banyak kelemahan Che Det kita dah nampak)
So yg paling layak… Nik Aziz… cuba bayangkan ulama’ menjadi PM. Insyallah kadar maksiat di KL akan turun mendadak atau tiada maksiat dikalangan org Islam….

bagi aku lak...tindakan anwar adalah strategi dia yang mungkin dianggap bijak..dia berjaya menarik perhatian dunia..kemudiannya mendapat jaminan akan keselamatan dia daripada kerajaan..dulu dia di tangkap kemudiannya di pukul oleh Ketua Polis Negara..jadi dia mempunyai sebab untuk berbuat demikian...kalau nak cakap Liberal Islamist ni..ada ka istilah macam tu..mcm fundamentalist islam..atau selainnya..sebab yang aku tahu hanya islam...tak ada hadharinya.. .

Kalau kita baca karangan Hishamudin Rais tu mungkin kita percaya Anwar tak buat benda nie.. tapi biasanya kalau dia tak bersalah dia patutnya tak lari menyorok mcm skrg ni dan bagi alasan bukan2...
Masalahnya kita nampak Anwar ni skrg tak macam Anwar masa muda2 dulu, gaya cakapnya, visinya , "keadilannya " dah tak best mcm masa dia student dulu atau masa awal2 dlm bidang politik tu dulu..
Anwar skrg lebih adalah model Liberal Islamist oleh Amerika.. jadi hati kecil aku tetap berkata kalau takde angin masakan pokok boleh bergoyang...

Pokok pangkalnya jgn laaa meng idola kan pemimpin....
Saya dah tak nak meng idolakan Tun Mahathir lagi kerna tebukti dia ni banyak membawa kehancuran kpd umat Melayu kerna melayan nafsu2 si bodoh-bodoh Melayu-melayu yang dapat jawatan dalam UMNO
Ada jawatan ada fulus ...pirahhhh
Saya pun tak nak meng idola kan Anwar Ibrahim kerna kalau dia bersalah biarlaah dia dihukum oleh Allah...kita manusia tiada hak untuk menghakimi mutlak akhlak orang
Dulu dia pun sama terbabit dalam political game kerna nak melawan kroni2 mamak medey
Kita tak usah jd hipokrit sangat nak pemimpin yang betul2 mulia...kalau nak ekstrem tahap mulia ni haaaa kita pilih Nik Aziz...haa menngeletar org2 yang kaya sbb makan duit rakyat ni,.... sbb dah tak boleh pukul langsung duit rakyat,... baru padan muka...
kalau tak aku rasa kalau Anwar ni mungkin dia akan guna otak rasional lebih skit laaa
Kalau dia pun sama macam pak Lah jugak haaaa kan ramai org2 BN kita boley mintak tolong kasi jatuh balik.. Apa nak risau....... Polis ada (Ketua Polis kan dulu pernah kautem dgn org BN apa nak susah)
Apa? Anwar ejen kuasa Asing, kroni US...yea ke?
Bahya...mmg bahya tapi org yang dia lawan tu pun lagi teruk ...
Tak usah jd paku dulang paku serpih...
Tanya laa Daim Zainuddin... dia yg bagi bos dia George Soros kayee....sbb hilang pertaruhan duit pakai Bank Negara dulu..kakakaka
Lepas tu Soros ada cukup fund belasah laa kita negara Asia ciput ni bg kita miskin

Tuan-tuan semua, bagi saya kes saudara Anwar dituduh membontot orang bukanlah perkara pelik sekiranya ianya benar-benar berlaku.Berkemungki nan saudara Anwar kita mengidap penyakit yang kadang2 datang perasaan yg tidak normal utk membuat perkara terkutuk itu, penyakit ini bila datang menyerang, orang itu tidak akan dapat menahan, meskipun dia orang yg kuat beribadat.Umpama kita terasa lapar, makan aje la ubatnya. Atau byk kes lain seperti mat gian yg dtg gian sanggup buat apa saje utk menghilangkan gian, kes org2 kaya tapi sering mencuri benda2 kecil disupermarket, kes maknyah,pondan yg menjual tubuh,bukan salah mereka kerana mereka dilahirkan cacat nafsu..atau yg mcm lelaki macho tapi gay...mereka2 ini cacat nafsu dan berpenyakit yg hanya dapat diubati bila dapat 'menikmati' apa yg dihajati Walaupun solat dapat menghindari kerja2 terkutuk ini, namun penyakit ini bila datang menyerang insan2 ini gagal bertahan, namun jika mereka mengabaikan solat, maka lagi parah la penyakit mereka dan makin kerap membuat onar jika dibandingkan dgn mereka yg rajin bersolat. Saya sendiri pernah melihat seorang insan yg berserban dan solat malam, namun telah melakukan onar terhadap rakan saya di dalam masjid...masyaallah . Banyak juga kes ustaz maupun imam yg merogol anak gadis sedangkan mereka tidak mengabaikan solat...
Mungkin juga saudara Anwar pernah terlibat dimasa lampau,namun masih ada pihak yg mahu mengungkit utk tujuan politik. Jika benar, saya pun tak bersetuju waima perkara tersebut berlaku 20 30 thn yg lampau...saya tak rela bakal PM kita pernah menyodom org,nanti org2 asing berkata"PM M'sia mat bontot". Walaupun tidak benar,saya masih tidak bersetuju beliau menjadi PM kerana segelintir org masih berkata dan menuduh beliau mat sodom. Ramai lagi yg layak jadi PM.
Jalan penyelesaian bagi kes ini, saya syorkan Saudara Anwar bersumpah dgn menjunjung Al-Quran dan dibuat secara live di TV utk menafikan perkara ini dengan menyatakan yg beliau tidak pernah melakukan seks diluar tabii sepanjang hayatnya...then baru saya sokong dia jadi PM.Wallahualam. ...--- On Tue, 7/1/08, fairuz wrote:

Betul-betul filem Melayu. Turun lokasi dulu kemudian baru buat skrip dan cari pelakon extra. Kah kah kah. Filem kita berwajah kita. Hidup PDRM... oops Hidup FINAS. DARI JELEBU Alamak gua dengar filem Sodo Me karya Brad Pittail akan di buat lagi. Sodo Mee Part 2 ini akan dibuat dengan lebih gempaq. Gua dengar dengan sahih si pengarah Brad Pittail sudah mulakan penggambaran. Iklan-iklan telah bocor di akhbar-akhbar. Pelakon utama telah ditemui.Dengar-dengar nya filem Part Two ini amat gah TETAPI lokasinya masih belum di tentukan. Inilah standard filem Melayu. Leceh. Kata nak buat filem gempaq. Lokasi pun belum jumpa. Bila di tanya Brad Pittail di mana lokasi tempat Sodo Mee terjadi, dia berkata: lokasinya berlaku di dalam kondo di Jalan Pantai, di kondo di Jalan Bangsar dan di kondo Damansara dan terus ke kondo Segambut. In best punya Sodo Mee beb. Makan tak habis.Woit! Ada berapa ribu kondo di sana? Yang mana satu kondo yang betul. Ini nampaknya bukan filem Sodo Mee Part Two. Kalau kondo panjang-panjang dan nama kondo pun tidak jelas ini samalah seperti kempen undilah Shahrizat Gadis Pilihanku. Biar betul Kalau macam itu baik cakap Sodo Mee ini berlaku di semua kondo-kondo di Kuala Lumpur, di Shah Alam, PJ , Kelang dan Senawang. Baru boleh cover line. Lebih safe. Pukul borong. Pasti lokasi tak salah.Ingat tak... skrip filem pertama dulu pun macam ini juga. Mula-mula Sodo Mee Part One berlaku di kondo Bukit Bangsar. Tapi bila crew pergi check kondo ini pun belum siap dibuat. Macam mana nak menegang Sodo Mee kalau kondo belum siap. BerSodo Mee atas simen sakit.... beb. Tak percaya cuba try. Kah kah kah. Inilah filem kita berwajah kita.Woit! Brad Pittail. Takkan drama ke dua ini macam skrip pertama juga. Kan filem pertama dulu dah tak laku. Kalau nak tipu, tipulah. Menipu bukan satu kesalahan. Yang salah apabila orang tak percaya.Lakonan pegawai polis ini pun satu hal lagi. Dalam drama mesti ada aksi. Baru orang tengok syok. Lakonan polis ini sudah tidak masuk akal. Semua dilok polis sudah bikin kacau. Semua bikin susah. Mana dilok yang betul? Mula-mula cakap laporan penggambaran Sodo Mee ini dibuat di Balai Polis Jalan Travers kemudian laporan ini dibuat dekat pondok polis Hospital KL. Mana satu lokasi yang betul. Nak shoot pakai crane pun biarlah hati-hati. Dari Jalan Travers ke HKL berapa jauh daaa... Holywood pun tidak boleh buat satu long shot 10 kilometer jauhnya. Pasti kabur . Kah kah kah. Filem kita berwajah kita.Dilok Bakreee Senin dalam 'act one' cukup tidak meyakinkan. Dialog ini tak masuk akal. Dalam filem Sivaji The Boss balai polis hanya dijaga oleh Tok Sarjan Saab. Dalam Sodo Mee Part Two yang menjaga Balai Travers ialah Tuan Bakree Senin sendiri. Apa hal gedebe ini menjaga balai. Tuan Bakree Senin ialah seorang OCPD. Tuan OCPD tidak jaga kaunter balai untuk ambil laporan. Dia tinggal dalam bilik khas. Ada kipas angin. Kerja OCPD Saab bukan ambil laporan atau buat teh. Ni yang buat kepala pening nonton filem Melayu.Semakin lama filem ini berjalan semakin kelam kabut jalan ceritanya. Laporan Sodo Mee ini diambil di mana ? Ulang shoot sekali lagi ke? Di Balai Travers atau di Pondok Polis HKL? Alaaa bradeer.... kalau Marlon Brando berlakon pun gua rasa payah dia nak deliver line macam ini. Aku rasa aktor Bombay Jalalaludeen Hasani boleh jadi OCPD macam dalam Sivaji. Tapi kalau abang dia berlakon gua rasa kentut pun tidak ada bau.Gua kurang faham kenapa si Mamat yang bernama Brad Pittail ini menjadi pengarah Sodo Mee Part Two? Si Mamat yang mengarah ini pun bukan hebat sangat otaknya. Semasa belajar dahulu dia slow sikit ( ini class mate dia seorang big lawyer yang joging hari-hari di Lake Garden bagi tahu). Dia slow kerana semasa kanak-kanak dia dihinggapi oleh wabak kurang cerdik. Mungkin badi wabak ini telah merosakkan daya fikir si Mamat ini. Itu fasal apabila dia bikin skrip drama, orang tidak percaya jalan ceritanya. Bila dia menjadi pengarah, cerita menjadi tidak lengkap dan berserabut.Betul-betul filem Melayu. Turun lokasi dulu kemudian baru buat skrip dan cari pelakon extra. Kah kah kah. Filem kita berwajah kita. Hidup PDRM.. oops Hidup FINAS.Gua dengar skrip ini telah di ambil dari skrip lama filem Fitna Al- Sodom Al Drebarli. Skrip ini telah memenangi hadiah ke 3 peraduan skrip anjuran Matt Madey. Brad Pittail dipilih menjadi pengarah, bukan kerana dia bijak tetapi kerana dia bernasib baik. Ketika Matt Madey jadi PM ( production manager) dahulu, Madey cukup prihatin dan telah banyak membantu pelakon-pelakon Orang Kurang Berfikir (OKB) seperti pelakon Nazri, Fidah, Sami, AG dan GIP. Matt Madey cukup suka bergelojak dengan OKB. Matt Madey sebagai PM cukup cerdik mengemut bujet dan amat bijak dalam hal mengumpulkan pelakon-pelakon OKB ini. Kerana kurang berfikirlah maka Brad Pittail dapat menjadi pengarah. Kah kah kah.Tentang lakonan? Satu habuk pun penonton tidak akan percaya. Yang paling tidak meyakinkan ialah adegan lakonan hero filem ini dalam Pejabat Timbalan Perdana Menteri. Kenapa pelakon utama filem ini digambari dengan seorang Mamat Hitam Lagi Pendek Lagi Muka Tak Laku. Mukanya Mamat Hitam ini macam muka Aman Belon.(Siapa Aman Belon? Gua penonton filem Melayu yang setia. Gua tahu siapa Aman Belon. Muka Mat Hitam itu macam muka Aman Belon. Kalau tidak caya sila tanya Bapak Saudara gua Lebai Google.)Apakah perlunya bergambar di dalam opis TPM? Siapa Mamat Hitam Pendek ini? Apa peranan dia dalam filem ini? Aku rasa Mamat Hitam ini adalah Mamat Bottom. Kalau muka gebu macam dia ini, kalau gua pengarah gua minta dia berlakon jadi hantu. Macam Aman Belon dalam cerita Pontianak. Mesti Rosmah.... oops Maria Menado menjadi takut.Pelakon utama filem Sodo Mee Part Two ini gua dengar ialah pendatang baru yang bernama Sinful Buka Harihari (tidak ada tali persaudaraan dengan si penyeludup beras di Perlis). Apa yang dia buka hari hari itu gua pun tidak tahu. Buka seluar ke atau buka punggung. Tingginya hampir enam kaki. Bila bergambar dengan Mamat Bottom itu gayanya betul-betul macam Wahid Satay berdiri disebelah Aman Belon. Kah kah kah. Filem kita berwajah Bottom ....oops berwajah kita.Apa yang tidak masuk akal ialah apabila adegan Sinful hendak di liwat oleh seorang tua berumur 60 tahun , kenapa si Sinful TIDAK menendang atau menerajang si peliwat yang semakin tua ini. Kenapa tidak menggunakan ‘method acting’ atau ‘kung fu Bruce Lee Adegan ini skripnya tidak di tulis dengan betullaaa. Kalau ada pergaduhan lagi best. Lagi suspens. Lagi erotik. Inilah skrip filem Melayu kantoi all the time.Penonton berfikir.... mustahil hero kita yang baru berumur 23 tahun, tinggi 6 kaki tidak dapat menendang bakal peliwat yang sudah berumur 60 tahun. Kenapa tidak ada struggle dalam adegan ini. Patutnya ada dialog – ‘ ciss orang tua 60 tahun....jangan liwat bontot aku jika kamu tidak ada Ky Jelly...’ Kah kah kah. Filem kita berwajah kita.Ingat tidak Maria Schneider yang nak di liwat oleh Brando dalam Last Tango In Paris pun ada tendang menendang. Ingat atau tidak adanya butter yang di gunakan oleh Brando. Semasa Bernardo Bertolucci membuat adegan ini berapa kilo butter terbarai. Ini baru skrip yang meyakinkan.Dalam Sodo Mee Part Two ini tidak ada adegan melawan. Ini amat-amat kurang meyakinkan. Hampir mustahil seorang anak hero yang lubang bontotnya hendak di jolok tidak dapat melawan. Kalau dia tidak jaga bontonya siapa yang akan menjaga. Apakah perlu JJ datang membantu? Lagi bahaya nanti, kena raba-raba sebelum dijolok.Orang ramai telah mula bercakap tentang skrip filem Sodo Mee Part 2 ini. Kegagalan skrip ini sudah nampak jelas. Kalau skrip ini gagal satu lagi krisis pasti akan timbul. Matt Madey tuan punya skrip original akan bertindak menyaman pengarah filem ini Saman akan diajukan kerana filem Part Two ini telah memalukan Matt Madey penulis asal skrip ini.Dari majalah Cine Revue du Fou, saya difahamkan mungkin skrip filem ini dapat di selamatkan dengan prop yang cukup menarik. Kali ini TILAM dan Bantal buruk yang ada dalam skrip asal tidak akan dipanggil untuk berlakon. Saya difahamkan tilam dan bantal akan diganti dengan minyak lintah dan kain gebar. Dan besar kemungkinan ada beberapa prop baru yang sedang direka oleh Brad Pittail. Prop-prop inilah nanti diharapkan akan meyakinkan penonton Malaysia.Saya juga mendengar beberapa ekor lintah hidup juga akan dibawa sebagai pembantu ‘special effect’ untuk mengeluarkan darah dalam babak pemeriksaan doktor. Darah perlu menitik keluar dari bontot Sinful Buka Harihari untuk menyeramkan penonton. Satu kamera angle yang unik sedang disusun di mana lintah tidak kelihatan tetapi darah menitis keluar dari bontot. Ini gua rasa akan menjadi satu adegan yang lebih hebat dari Last Tango.Kalau adegan darah meleleh keluar dari bontot Sinful Buka Harihari ini dapat dikamerkan maka gua yakin filem Sodo Mee Part Two ada peluang untuk di murtabakkan sebagai filem lawak Melayu Internasional untuk kurun ini. Gua rasa kalau scene ini berjaya gua yakin Sodo Mee Part Two boleh bertanding untuk mendapat piala Le Fou du Monde di Cuntt Filem Festival. Kah kah kah. Filem kita berwajah kita.

Gospel of Barnabas - The least modified bible

2008-06-27T03:17:00.000-07:00

The Gospel of Barnabas claims that Jesus predicted the advent of Muhammad, thus conforming with the Qur'an which mentions:
"And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said: O Children of Israel! I am the apostle of Allah (sent) to you, confirming the Law (which came) before me, and giving Glad Tidings of an Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad. But when he came to them with Clear Signs, they said, this is evident sorcery!" (Sura 61:6)
(Ahmad is another name of Muhammad.) A Muslim scholarly tradition links this Qur'anic passage to the New Testament references to the Paraclete (John 14:16, 14:26, 15:26, 16:7). The Greek word "paraclete" can be translated "Counsellor"; and in the Christian tradition, is said to refer to the Holy Spirit. Some Muslim scholars have noted the similarity to the Greek "periklutos" which can be translated as "admirable one"; or in Arabic, "Ahmad".
The name of "Muhammad" is frequently mentioned verbatim in the Gospel of Barnabas, as in the following quote:
"Jesus answered: `The name of the Messiah is admirable, for God himself gave him the name when he had created his soul, and placed it in a celestial splendour. God said: "Wait Mohammed; for thy sake I will to create paradise, the world, and a great multitude of creatures, whereof I make thee a present, insomuch that whoso bless thee shall be blessed, and whoso shall curse thee shall be accursed. When I shall send thee into the world I shall send thee as my messenger of salvation, and thy word shall be true, insomuch that heaven and earth shall fail, but thy faith shall never fail." Mohammed is his blessed name.' Then the crowd lifted up their voices, saying: `O God, send us thy messenger: O Admirable One, come quickly for the salvation of the world!'" Barnabas 97:9-10. The Italian manuscript replaces "Admirable One" with "Muhammad" [4].
However, while there are many passages where the Gospel of Barnabas sets out alternative readings to parallel pericopes found in the canonical gospels, none of the references to Muhammad by name occurs in such a synoptic passage; and in particular, none of the "Muhammad" references in Barnabas corresponds to a "Paraclete" reference in canonical John. There is only one instance where the Gospel of Barnabas might be understood as "correcting" a known canonical pericope, so as to record a prophecy by Jesus of the (unnamed) Messenger of God:
Then Jesus said: "I am a voice that cries through all Judea, and cries: "Prepare you the way for the messenger of the Lord," even as it is written in Esaias." They said: "If you be not the Messiah nor Elijah, or any prophet, wherefore do you preach new doctrine, and make yourself of more account than the Messiah?" Jesus answered: "The miracles which God works by my hands show that I speak that which God wills; nor indeed do I make myself to be accounted as him of whom you speak. For I am not worthy to unloose the ties of the hosen or the ratchets of the shoes of the Messenger of God whom you call "Messiah," who was made before me, and shall come after me, and shall bring the words of truth, so that his faith shall have no end." (Chapter 43):
This passage corresponds closely with the canonical John 1:19-30, except that in that passage, the words are spoken by John the Baptist (in the Qur'an; Yahya ibn Zakariya) and refer to Jesus.
[edit] Muhammad as the Messiah
According to one version of the Gospel of Barnabas:
'Then said the priest: "How shall the Messiah be called?" {Jesus answered} "Muhammed is his blessed name" ' (ch. 97).
and
Jesus confessed, and said the truth: "I am not the Messiah." (ch. 42:2)
As mentioned above, these pronouncements appear to contradict Islamic belief. However, the well-known Muslim debater Ahmed Deedat argues that, since "Messiah" merely means "anointed", it can be attributed to any prophet, and Jesus would have meant Muhammad was anointed by God.
[edit] Ishmaelite Messiah
According to one version of the Gospel of Barnabas, Jesus denied being the Messiah, claiming rather that the Messiah would be Ishmaelite (ie Arab):
"Whereupon Jesus said: 'Ye deceive yourselves; for David in spirit calleth him lord, saying thus: "God said to my lord, sit thou on my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool. God shall send forth thy rod which shall have lordship in the midst of thine enemies." If the messenger of God whom ye call Messiah were son of David, how should David call him lord? Believe me, for verily I say to you, that the promise was made in Ishmael, not in Isaac.'" (Barnabas 43:10)
Hajj Sayed (Senior Member in CIMS), in his new book in Egypt, compares this to the following statement from the canonical Bible:
"What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?" "The son of David," they replied. He said to them, "How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him 'Lord'? For he says, 'The Lord said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet.' If then David calls him 'Lord,' how can he be his son?" Matthew 22:42-46
According to the canonical Gospels, Jesus was the "son" (descendant) of David; thus, Hajj Sayed argues that this statement confirms the Gospel of Barnabas' point.
The idea of the Messiah as an Arab is also found in another chapter of Gospel of Barnabas:
"If I work iniquity, reprove me, and God will love you, because you shall be doing his will, but if none can reprove me of sin it is a sign that you are not sons of Abraham as you call yourselves, nor are you incorporate with that head wherein Abraham was incorporate. As God lives, so greatly did Abraham love God, that he not only brake in pieces the false idols and forsook his father and mother, but was willing to slay his own son in obedience to God.
The high priest answered: "This I ask of you, and I do not seek to slay you, wherefore tell us: Who was this son of Abraham?" Jesus answered: "The zeal of your honour, O God, inflames me, and I cannot hold my peace. Truly I say, the son of Abraham was Ishmael, from whom must be descended the Messiah promised to Abraham, that in him should all the tribes of the earth be blessed." Then was the high priest wroth, hearing this, and cried out: "Let us stone this impious fellow, for he is an Ishmaelite, and has spoken blasphemy against Moses and against the Law of God." (Barnabas 208:1-2)
Here, one version of the Gospel of Barnabas also quotes Jesus as saying that the sacrificed son of Abraham was Ishmael not Isaac, conforming to Islamic belief but disagreeing with Jewish and Christian belief. A connection might also be drawn between the last paragraph's statement that "in him should all the tribes of the earth be blessed", and the meaning of the name "Muhammad", the "Praised (or Blessed) One". (Cf.Life of Prophet Muhammad).
[edit] Jesus not God or Son of God
According to the Gospel of Barnabas, Jesus foresaw and rejected his own deification:
And having said this, Jesus smote his face with both his hands, and then smote the ground with his head. And having raised his head, he said: "Cursed be every one who shall insert into my sayings that I am the son of God" (53:6)
And having said this Jesus went out of the Temple. And the common people magnified him, for they brought all the sick folk whom they could gather together, and Jesus having made prayer gave to all their health: whereupon on that day in Jerusalem the Roman soldiery, by the working of Satan, began to stir up the common people, saying that Jesus was the God of Israel, who was come to visit his people." (69:6)
Jesus answered: "And you; what say you that I am?" Peter answered: "You are Christ, son of God". Then was Jesus angry, and with anger rebuked him, saying: "Begone and depart from me, because you are the devil and seek to cause me offences" (70:1)
Jesus said again: "I confess before heaven, and call to witness everything that dwells upon the earth, that I am a stranger to all that men have said of me, to wit, that I am more than man. For I am a man, born of a woman, subject to the judgment of God; that live here like as other men, subject to the common miseries" (94:1)
Then answered the priest, with the governor and the king, saying: "Distress not yourself, O Jesus, holy one of God, because in our time shall not this sedition be any more, seeing that we will write to the sacred Roman senate in such wise that by imperial decree none shall any more call you God or son of God." Then Jesus said: "With your words I am not consoled, because where you hope for light darkness shall come; but my consolation is in the coming of the Messenger, who shall destroy every false opinion of me, and his faith shall spread and shall take hold of the whole world, for so has God promised to Abraham our father." (97:1)
This conforms entirely with Muslim belief, according to which Jesus is a human and a prophet. According to some ahadith, he will come back to earth in the future and declare to the world that he is "a Servant of God". According to Imam Anwar Al-Awlaki in his audio lessons Lives of the Prophets, the first thing that prophet Jesus said when he was in the cradle "I am a servant of God", and the first thing that Jesus will say when he will come back to earth will be the same "I am a servant of God". According to the Qur'an:
At length she brought the (babe) to her people, carrying him (in her arms). They said: "O Mary! truly an amazing thing hast thou brought! O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a man of evil, nor thy mother a woman unchaste!" But she pointed to the babe. They said: "How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle? He said: "I am indeed a servant of Allah (God). He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet; And He hath made me blessed wheresoever I be, and hath enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long as I live; (He) hath made me kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable; So peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)"! Such (was) Jesus the son of Mary: (it is) a statement of truth, about which they dispute. It is not befitting to (the majesty of) Allah (God) that He beget a son. Glory be to Him! when He determines a matter, He only says to it, "Be", and it is. (Mary:27-35)
[edit] Paul and Barnabas
Hajj Sayed argues that Galatians's description of the dispute between Paul and Barnabas supports the idea that the Gospel of Barnabas existed at the time of Paul. Blackhirst has suggested, by contrast, that Galatian's account of this argument could be the reason the gospel's writer attributed it to Barnabas.[5] Paul writes in (Galatians Chapter 2):
"When Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was clearly in the wrong. Before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group. The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray." (Galatians 2:11-14)
Paul was attacking Peter and Barnabas for "trying to satisfy the Jews" by sticking to their laws, such as circumcision. This shows that, at that point, Barnabas was following Peter and disagreeing with Paul. Some feel it also suggests that the inhabitants of Galatia at his time were using a gospel or gospels disagreeing with Paul's beliefs, which Gospel of Barnabas could be one of them (although the Gospel of Peter would seem a more natural candidate, as in the light of the second letter.) To Galatian's account we may compare the Introductory Chapter of Gospel of Barnabas, where we read:
"Dearly beloved the great and wonderful God hath during these past days visited us by his prophet Jesus Christ in great mercy of teaching and miracles, by reason whereof many, being deceived of Satan, under presence of piety, are preaching most impious doctrine, calling Jesus son of God, repudiating the circumcision ordained of God for ever, and permitting every unclean meat: among whom also Paul hath been deceived, whereof I speak not without grief; for which cause I am writing that truth which I have seen and heard, in the intercourse that I have had with Jesus, in order that ye may be saved, and not be deceived of Satan and perish in the judgment of God. Therefore beware of every one that preacheth unto you new doctrine contrary to that which I write, that ye may be saved eternally." (Introduction To Gospel of Barnabas)
In this context, supporters also note that Peter was from the original 12 disciples of Jesus, and Barnabas was one of the early disciples of Jesus, while Paul, a Roman, hadn't lived with Jesus, and had been accustomed to persecute his followers before his conversion.
Acts 9:26-27: "And when Saul [Paul] was come to Jerusalem he assayed to join himself to the disciples, but they were all afraid of him and believed not that he was a disciple. But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles"
From the previous passages, we can also infer that in the beginning, Paul and Barnabas were getting along with each other; however, at the end, they started to depart in their beliefs.
In conclusion, some Muslim scholars believe that those differences between the Gospel of Barnabas and the belief of Paul might be the reason that the Gospel of Barnabas and other gospels were not added to the New Testament.
[edit] Other non-canonical differences
According to the following quote, Jesus talked to Barnabas and gave him a "secret":
Jesus, weeping, said: "O Barnabas, it is necessary that I should reveal to you great secrets, which, after that I shall be departed from the world, you shall reveal to it." Then answered he that writes, weeping, and said: "Suffer me to weep, O master, and other men also, for that we are sinners. And you, that are a holy one and prophet of God, it is not fitting for you to weep so much."
Jesus answered: "Believe me, Barnabas that I cannot weep as much as I ought. For if men had not called me God, I should have seen God here as he will be seen in paradise, and should have been safe not to fear the day of judgment. But God knows that I am innocent, because never have I harboured thought to be held more than a poor slave. No, I tell you that if I had not been called God I should have been carried into paradise when I shall depart from the world, whereas now I shall not go thither until the judgment. Now you see if I have cause to weep.
Know, O Barnabas, that for this I must have great persecution, and shall be sold by one of my disciples for thirty pieces of money. Whereupon I am sure that he who shall sell me shall be slain in my name, for that God shall take me up from the earth, and shall change the appearance of the traitor so that every one shall believe him to be me; nevertheless, when he dies an evil death, I shall abide in that dishonour for a long time in the world. But when Muhammad shall come, the sacred Messenger of God, that infamy shall be taken away. And this shall God do because I have confessed the truth of the Messiah who shall give me this reward, that I shall be known to be alive and to be a stranger to that death of infamy."
Also according to GoB, Jesus charged Barnabas to write the gospel:
Jesus turned himself to him who writes, and said: "Barnabas, see that by all means you write my gospel concerning all that has happened through my dwelling in the world. And write in a similar manner that which has befallen Judas, in order that the faithful may be undeceived, and every one may believe the truth."
