About me and this blog
April 14, 2007
My name is Haris Ibrahim. Trained in the law.
Late father was Malay and my mum is Ceylonese.
I am Malaysian.
My ethnic background is relevant in helping me to understand my cultural make-up but is irrelevant in defining my status as a citizen of Malaysia.
Until 2004, I voted for the opposition. In that year, I was taken in by the promises of our present PM.
Our PM has not delivered on his promise to be a PM for all Malaysians.
I have become increasingly disillusioned with ministers, MPs and judges who have breached the people’s trust and reneged on their oath of office to defend and uphold our constitution.
This blog, then, is about civil society reclaiming its power to determine who are the law-makers in Parliament today who are worthy of the trust reposed in them by the people and if, sadly, we discover there are none presently, to make an informed decision of who we will next install in the people’s parliament.
I have, through this blog, launched a ‘Get to know you MP’ civil society initiative. A brief of the same and a more detailed explanation may be seen at my posts entitled ‘Get to know your MP’ and ‘Get to know your MP : What and How’

Excellent platform…will trumpet your intentions.
April 23, 2007 at 1:31 pm
nice effort!
April 27, 2007 at 5:30 pm
it is a good start to bvring people to have a say in the matters of the law that affects people.keep up the good work

Brilliant . As a Malayan/Malaysian of the 1940’s i am delighted that a you a young caring and concerned Malaysian has initiated this wonderful project to awaken our people.
May i suggest that you start a People’s Parliament process for the “people” to vote on issues of national interest,the results of which could be channeled to the relevant parties i.e. the Cabinet, Ministers,MPs et al.
For starters why not a poll on Minister JJ - Should he “APOLOGISE” or “RESIGN” ? [Since he has not officially denied making those statements i suppose we can assume he is "guilty"!]
For your consideration.
Thanks & Best Wishes
May 9, 2007 at 9:33 pm
Understand that Minister JJ has “apologised”! If this is true kudos to him.
Hope this is a valuable lesson in managing multi-ethnic Malaysia for JJ and his ilk!

Politicians are the same evrywhere. So dont take their words too seriously. I am more concerned with your thought on Malaysian malaysia. What is that - the idea promoted by the DAP another political party led by chauvinist chinese? Why is there chinese school in the country. Is there one in democratic US of A? Disband the social contract - does that mean review the immigration rights? What about you as mixed indian and malay race - do you call yourself bumiputra? I hope not because you are mamak and as experience shows during the 13 may 1969 incident indians and mamak in sentul and in penang are like lallang. Do u know what a lalang behavior is? Ask any person above 50 years and they will tell u.

That’s my dream as well Malaysian Malaysia. Will it still be a dream or reality. Another dream is total transparency by the Government. Its going out of hand.
May 15, 2007 at 2:23 am
I like tour blogs and I started to “fall in love’ with it.
A good start is a good end for some thing.
Good start- Raising people’s awareness on certain issues, or all issues in Malaysia.
Good End- No more “blind follower” on certain issues or all issues as well!
Will continue my support on your efforts.
Jia Yo!
May 15, 2007 at 2:25 am
Good efforts!
May 15, 2007 at 2:28 am
I liked your blogs and I start to “fall in love” with it!
It is a good start and a good end!
Good Start - Raising the awareness of Malaysian over certain issues, all all issues.
Good End - Will have no more “blind’ people that unaware about certain issues in Malaysia.
I will continues my support on your blogs and your efforts.
Jia yo!

Good work Haris…proud to know that not all Malaysians are pretenders as those who reside in parliament
June 3, 2007 at 7:31 pm
Hi Haris, Good blog.
We are one people, no matters how we look like, what we speak and how we dress, because we live in the same motherland and we have a common destiny.
We are in the same boat, and we have to do our best to ensure that this boat can reach the destination same and sound.
Keep up the good work!
June 3, 2007 at 7:49 pm
Got to know about your blog through Legitimate expectations.Glad that I visited your blog and am going to link you.
June 14, 2007 at 8:20 pm
Just been recommended this blog. Good work, my friend.
Lim,
Help us out. Which constituency are you registered in? Help us with your constituency.
How about it?
June 15, 2007 at 12:52 am
Great blog. This country certainly needs more people like you. I hope that I can join you for the betterment of our country.
PK Tan,
Please join. We need you.
What constituency are you registered in?
June 15, 2007 at 4:34 pm
Hi Haris and all,
I made a post in a blog that is supposed to help our beloved country at <a href=”http://guide-to-malaysia.blogspot.com/2007/06/candlelight-vigil-for-ravathi-and-for.html” rel=”nofollow”>Candlelight Vigil for Ravathi (and for Malaysia). I have wanted to post only postitive posts, but unfortunately I also want to do what I can to improve our country and hoped to let more people know about what good things Haris is trying to do for us. I am going to email all my sons and daughters, sisters, niece and nephew the above link plus link to Candlelight Vigil (a link to which I already have at the above post, but which I will include as well in case they are too lazy to go to my post. After I got a lightning response from Haris “no copyright issues”, I posted another 2 links in that post, one to his post, and another one Get to know your MP with the anchor text “Get to know your MP (Member of Parliament)” in case anyone don’t know what MP is. One of my daughter is fond of forwarding messages to us (and I suppose forwarding messages to her to her kakis), I am going to add a request to forward my mail to their contacts. This is the little I can do to help Haris’s noble efforts known to more concerned citizens. BTW I intend to go for that Candlelight Vigil and hope that whoever reads this post will join me there. I have circled that date in my calender, but I am approaching 60 years and am a bit forgetful. Hope some of you will comment in my blogs to remind me as comments are moderated and the message will reach me. I have set the blog <a href=”http://guide-to-malaysia.blogspot.com” rel=”nofollow”>Guide to Malaysia</a> to allow anonymous comments so that if you don’t want to register for a Blogger account, you can still comment (that blog was meant to help Malaysia and Tourism Malaysia, and in fact have photos copyright of Tourism Malaysia which I have received permission to publish for the purpose of promoting Malaysia). Unfortunately, I had to make one negative post and hope I don’t need to do so again in the future.
Sorry for this long comment, but hoping for more hands. Start a blog to improve Malaysia in whatever way you can, if you haven’t done so already. I have a blog which is intended to help those who want to do so at <a href=”http://dummies-guide-to-google-blogger.blogspot.com” rel=”nofollow”>Dummies Guide to Google Blogger</a>. Blogging is free and easy, and if you can use email, you can start a blog. I am retired and have the time to help as you can see from the numerous comments (questions)in <a href=”http://blogger-tricks.blogspot.com” rel=”nofollow”>Blogger Tips and Tricks</a>.
I also have another hope. You start a blog similar to the one in my signature line. It will be not just for Malaysia, but for the only Spaceship Earth we have which do not have a lifeboat yet.
Peter a.k.a. enviroman

Thanks, Peter. Have sent you a mail about your constituency. Please do come back to me with confirmation
See you under the flagpole on Tuesday

I wish I’d discovered this blog earlier. I have found it very educational. I have recently been blogging about some of the same things you have, but you do it with far more experience, clarity, and understanding than I.
Your calm and reasonable style combined your with succint and often witty sentences make your content easily accessable. And it’s good to see that your passion doesn’t make you emotional and detract from reasoned discourse.
Hi Satya,
Thanks for the encouraging words.
But more than all this, it is your willingness to champion our rights as Malaysians and tell it like it is when it comes to the issues that affect us all, that has impressed me so.
I’m one year away from being of legal age to vote. I can’t even attend the many rallies, events, and conferences you organise or participate in because of geography (I currently study in Singapore).
But one thing I can do is to try and spread awareness necessary to shake the apathy of Malaysians. I can try to keep reminding people of the issues that are important, and why they mean anything at all, since we Malaysians seem to be a largely forgetful bunch… making a hue and cry over an issue when it’s first highlighted in the media, and quitly forgetting about it as it gets knocked off its pedestal on the front page.
Keep at it.
I have only begun to try and do this through my blog. And obiously I’ve a lot to learn before I can do it effectively. But what I can do right now, is to reccommend your blog. And so I have.
Give the link to your blog, lah.
Thanks for doing what you do, and keep up the good work.
Cheers!
Do keep in touch
June 26, 2007 at 1:21 pm
here’s the link.
http://theworldaccording2satya.blogs.friendster.com/life_the_journey_continue/
reading your most recent posts have shown me that some of the info in mine is not quite accurate. will have to work out how to fix this without going into too much detail.
i’d also appreciate your comments on

that.
July 10, 2007 at 3:39 pm
Keep up the good work ! God bless you and your family. To those religious police, I only want to encho here what I read in the scripture: “Let those who have not committed any sin take the first stone to throw at her” I suppose God teaches us to love one and another and the moment we sow hatre and despite others then we are no different from the robbers and murderers.
July 15, 2007 at 11:00 pm
Great effort my friend. Keep it up. I’m with you all the way.

Good job, i am sure your site will help us alot!

Peace, Aimi.
July 27, 2007 at 1:34 am
Master Haris,
I have lived the past half a century and more, to learn and understand the frailties of the human race, and shall continue to do so till my last breadth. History have seen men overwhelmed by their egos and greed that led to the untold sufferings of millions. Yet the human race never learn!
Today as in the past, the story is the same. It is the story of ignorance and selfishness. It is the story of belief in self righteousness that breed the many self appointed ’saviours’ of civil societies as much and as many of those ‘evils’ they seek to be emancipated from. Alas, their pursuits at whatever costs! They are the same! You used the words “worthy of trust”. Are you?
Mister Zaki,
I had attempted to e-mail you to get your consent to put your comment up as a post. Alas, my e-mail bounced back, the reason given being that your e-mail address does not exist.
You speak of self-appointed ’saviours’ of civil societies?
Are you one of the cyber-troopers that RPK has spoken of?
No, there are no self-appointed ’saviours’ of civil societies in this blog. I am just reaching out in the hope that more Malaysians who feel as I do may come together and together do something for this country.
You ask if I am worthy of trust?
I only unquestioningly trust God. Everyone else, me and you included, should be investigated first before you trust. If you investigate me, you will have the answer to your question. I of course cannot investigate you as you write behind a pseudonym and present a false e-mail address.
Really now, are you one of those cyber-troopers?
And I can’t help to be as sceptical of this effort at People’s Parliament!
Scepticism is good. It prevents us from being taken in. I should have been a bit more sceptical about Pak Lah’s pre-election promises.
Oops, did I offend you, cyber-trooper?
There will be those who begin to judge another by God knows whatever values that they subscribe to or ever begin to understand themselves!
How can we trust each other?
Have answered your ‘trust’ question. You do seem to have a problem with trusting, don’t you?
I would imagine bright young men like you should better focus your energies in more positive ways, like building bridges of understanding, of identifying(as though there weren’t enough!)and sharing common values, the quest for finding higher knowledge that will enrich the lives of all future Malaysians.
c-t, have you not been reading the posts and comments in this blog? It is about trying to save a heritage that our forefathers left us with.
It would be a waste of time on the futile effort of merely letting your audience vent whatever their frustrations..in letting off hot air, just damning others that they thought have failed them.
‘they thought have failed them’, you say. They have not failed us, then? c-t, you seem to have dropped your guard.
To be fair to the PM, you would not have understood how difficult for one frail little human to turn around the colossal ‘rotten to the core’ institution called Barisan Nasional.
Tell you what, c-t, let’s get rid of this one frail little human and that colossal rotten to the core institution in one swoop.
You should have been a better judge of the human kind, when you believed in the promises of yet another BN politician in the last election! It would be so naive to believe Abdullah Badawi alone could change our corrupt Malaysian political system..they would quickly do without him!
As I do not know you, I cannot yet trust you. Objectively, this is the only truth I have seen from you thus far.
And what would you have next?? I shudder to think of whatever the alternatives!
A nation rid of a frail little human and a colossal rotten to the core institution?
In life, we cannot live just looking at only it’s negative side.
Sorry, there has been nothing positive about the BN rule to look at.
50 years of BN rule did contribute some to nation building.
Nation building? You mean building Putrajaya is nation building? Building KLIA is nation building? Tolonglah, if you would want to hoodwink us, you’ll have to do better.
Only now it has got rotten!
Ah, some truth thrown in, eh! Must maintain the semblance of being credible, eh c-t.
And we do need a change!
Yes, a bit more truth, c-t
What I’m just trying to say is for us to be realistic in our pursuit to change the rot ! Let us begin in a enlightened way ! Lest we get lost ourselves !
Whatever, c-t
July 31, 2007 at 2:01 pm
Just came across your site from an email sent to me by a friend. You are doing a good job. After reading some of the comments, I believe there are ‘cyber-troopers’ sent by the government to do damage and there are also your everyday ‘dickheads’ like ‘ashafruddin’ who commented in May. I am an Indian by race but Malaysian by nationality. I was born and bred here in Malaysia. The former PM’s house was located behind where I was born. To think Malaysian is the only way to unity and peaceful coexistence towards progressing as a nation.
There is no place for racism. He uses the term ‘mamak’ in a derogative manner. I know many ‘mamaks’ who are hardworking people and honest which is more than I can say for this ‘dickhead’ even though I don’t really know him.
Anyway, I hope you will continue with your mission and God be with you.
August 1, 2007 at 10:00 pm
I share your ideas in making people aware about our rights in this beloved and beautiful country.This countyry has no place for racism.Keep away the religious and communal sentiments and have open minded. Try do understand, engage in dialog to promote peace among MALAYSINS.Afterall all religions ask their folowers to love all mankind.We are created in many colours,black,white,choclet etc. by GOD not only to know,understand and love but also tolerate and loive together as a big family. I hope HARIS will continue to work through your posting to achive this noble mission. I support u.God bless.
August 26, 2007 at 8:42 pm
Congratulations Haris! I laud your initiative to raise social consciousness against corruption and erosion of human rights.
Sadly racial unity has certainly become a relic of the past. The bogey man of racial clashes has been used so often by bankrupt politicians yet today we are more polarised then ever before.
My take is that the sad plight of lower class Malays and Malaysians in general, the racial polarisation, the rot in our universities, the current culture of fear of reprisals and overall oppression and the loss of our competitive position internationally is brought about by both the apathy of the rakyat and the select few that have no qualms about enriching themselves in the name of political service.
I believe the first priority should be to expose and dislodge corrupt politicians and civil servants. If we have righteous men and women in the police force, judiciary and parliament, corruption in the private sector will have no chance to survive.
Once we have cleaned up these three branches of legislature, executive and judiciary we can address the issues of national importance such as true racial harmony, education and so on.
As Dr. M said recently in one of his video interviews hosted on Malaysiakini.tv, “You deserve the government you get!”. So let us help to open more eyes to uplift our general social awareness and together blot out this dark spot of corruption and ineptitude on our beloved country.
We should not let fear paralyse us - spread the word around. It is in OUR hands to clean up the politics of our nation.

August 28, 2007 at 2:47 pm
Dear Haris,
I enjoyed reading your blog and admire your stance on the government’s performance. I am 48 and I hope to see during my lifetime when malaysians can address each other as fellow malaysian just like the French, mexicans or thais do in their countries. Many Malaysians of mixed ancestry would prefer this label instead of being boxed in as malays, chinese or indians. Lets make this our merdeka wish.

Bro,
Any particular reason why The Truth Of The Matter site is no longer available?
i go there every now and then to learn more about the matter you raise there.
i miss it.
Tks. God be with you.
September 12, 2007 at 5:05 pm
Dear Haris,
I have never heard about you until today and after going over your articles I see they need support. From Malays and non Malays alike.
40 years ago, me and my Malay friends used to have coffee in Chinese coffee shops, Malay or mamak stalls. We talk,joke and laugh.
Today I notice that Malays do not enter Chinese coffee shops anymore and some are even reluctant to enter mamak stalls.
I do not own a coffee shop by the way.
September 24, 2007 at 7:46 pm
nice work….
October 9, 2007 at 7:41 pm
There is hope for Malaysia when I read a blog like yours. We need more good Malays like you to speak up for the rest of us.
October 10, 2007 at 10:18 am
That’s the beauty about internet, the modern technology that can provide alternative avenue for the “oppressed” to voice their views. There are many things wrong in the current government but you will never read or hear it in the media. Why? They are are the mercy of the government. Only a blog such as your, Harris, that the “oppressed” to speak up!
Indeed the current situation is worse than Dr.M’s era. Pak Lah promised to eradicate corruption after he was sworn in as PM. What happened all these years? It ia an open secret that the entire rank and file are corrupt. The only difference is the amount and the way the “kopi o” is transacted. Their hands are stunk with the sweat-money of the rakyat! How can we trust these leaders any longer?

Dear..
I just found a your blog thru an e-mail. I am rather satisfied now. I was browsing the net for sometime looking for a site that can share our opinion and ideas.
I felt this was necessary as i am a Malaysian who is employed overseas and reading these news and seeing how my country has changed from bad to worst has hurt me so much.
I hope there would be a civilised solution to all these issues and that the country is so divided by so called’race’ and therefore surpressed the intelligents and contribution of other fellow people.
Glad to help from my end at anytime.
November 23, 2007 at 7:30 pm
Dear Haris
Please dont hide the Tamilness in you by stating your Mum is a Ceylonese. Or is it because Cylonese consider themselves more Tamil than the Tamils from tamil Nadu??

SBennit,
Don’t know who you are, but if your piles is acting up, please take your beef elsewhere
November 24, 2007 at 3:10 pm
There is an inherent problem here that will not be solved by tweaking the system, lecturing the powerful or even by awareness campaigns. As experience and analysis show, elections are inherently anti-democratic and are bound to produce rulers that do not further the interests of the people. There is, however, a democratic alternative.
November 26, 2007 at 2:15 pm
Great Site!
I totally agree that we are many colors, we are one dream.
wot do we do about a gment that divides its rakyat by their races and dissects them into million pieces?
its time for the rakyat to stand together, silently(?) fight to establish that we r many colors, we are one dream…
any ideas how?
cheers
November 27, 2007 at 4:10 pm
Way to go En. Haris. Proud of having worked for you many years back. Keep up your efforts in enlightening people of “the happenings” in our rotting government.
Blogs like yours,malaysian-today, etc are truly an eye opener for “government trusting malaysians” like me.
Now the vote goes to…..
Mala,
Apa khabar?
Do your bit and vote.
For change.

December 2, 2007 at 11:39 pm
Salaam Haris, tell us who should I vote for? Yes, in the next general election? I live in an UMNO vs PAS area and I certainly reject PAS as it is not a Malaysian party but an ultra-communal party. Should I vote for UMNO? I prefer this as UMNO is the lesser evil. A PAS-ruled Malaysia means apostate Muslims (ie ex-Muslims) will be murdered under the Hudud laws. Any party that aims to murder former Muslims is declaring war upon non Muslim people.
I see PAS as a racist party as it advocates supremacy of the Muslim race. Yes religion constitutes a race and I would like to see racist parties like PAS banned.
leemk,
you have not mentioned which constituency you vote in?
December 3, 2007 at 4:06 pm
Letters Sent by Fax to MP’s of Rasah(NS), Segambut(KL), Pasir Gudang(Johore). Are we required to send a copy to you?

cheers bro
devilsadvocate,
When I went to the Senate House, Uni London to collect my degree, clerk in charge checked and told me there was nothing for me.
Shocked, I asked him to please check again. He did and again said there was none.
I asked, and he allowed me to check. Within 20 seconds I pulled out my degree script and put it in front of him.
‘What’s this, then?’, I asked.
‘Damn, I thought that was your bloody address’, was his reply.
Yup, you’ve nailed me.
January 4, 2008 at 7:02 am
One look at your pic tells me you’re ******. Sorry but I’ve a problem with trusting ******. They messed up my life more than once.
Mike,
See how easy it is to shut racist bigots up in this blog.
I’ll agree with you on one thing, tho.
You do appear to be messed up.
January 4, 2008 at 12:22 pm
Mike,
Not only are you being cryptic, you’re unintentionally funny!
The “picture” or icon in red & blue depicts Martin Luther King (g-r-i-n). That’s not Haris’ portrait lah.
But just to share with you, Haris Ibrahim has my trust.
And see … we do have fun in People’s Parliament. It’s a rollicking ride. As for the destination, Mike, hope to see you at journey’s end, however your travels may take you there.
God bless.
Thanks a million, Helen

Bloggers who dedicate their lives fighting for free speech or at least wanting to build their reputation based on it should not be too quick to press the delete button, don’t you think??
It does make a mockery of free speech.
January 10, 2008 at 6:25 pm
haris, I vote in Kota Bahru and in the last GE, I voted for BN. Who do you suggest I vote for in the coming GE? BN-UMNO or PAS? Please advise me.
leemk,
Firstly, no guarantee that Zaid will be defending his seat.
I regard Zaid as a personal friend. Even so, if I were you, this round he would not get my vote.
I would firstly evaluate whoever the opposition is offering. If he or she is ok with me, the person gets my vote.
Otherwise, time permitting, I would try to get a civil society candidate. Damn, I would consider standing myself.

Congrats Haris for setting up this Blog!
I cannot agree more and it is high time we get rid of this bunch of uneducated, arrogant, bocor politicians who have been polluting our country these past few years with their crabby remarks!
The situation we face is stark, and no longer a joy to be in:
***** The constant attacks by Islamic extremists on the religious sensitivities of the other races makes a mockery of this “freedom of religion” so enshrined in our Constitution;
***** The No-Bolah Federal Court does not do justice to the populace, since it keeps shying away from making decisions, claiming that this and that cases are under the jurisdiction of the Syariah Courts! What is most alarming and disturbing is that these Syariah Courts keep intruding into the lives of the non-Bumiputeras by their “speedy justice” - the latest being the poor Chinese bedridden father who died in Klang, and is now buried in a Muslim cemetry, notwithstanding the strong protests of their family members that he is a pork-eating Buddhist through and through! And the eldest son who converted to Islam against the wishes of this father and the rest of the family, lives in Seremban and, it seems, has never bothered to see the father for a long time!
***** when you look at the setup of the latest Commissiion to inquire into this Lingam Joke, you wonder why is it so difficult to ask the right questions to get to the bottom of Lingamgate? For instance:
(a) Who actually paid for Eusoff Chin’s 4 business class/first class air tickets to New Zealand, the hotels, tours, foods etc? Can’t track this down from his bank account, his family’s, friends, associates?
(b) Nobody bothered to ask the Director of Holiday Tours who paaid these tickets for these answers?
(c) His tour itinerary is copied to Ms Jeyanthi. Nobody asked her to testify who she is, and why she receive it? But “there are so many named Jeyanthi” is a good enough answer and acceptable!
***** As matters stand, there is no way any Opposition can take over the country as the delineation of each Constituency has been deliberately skewed, e.g. a small State like Kedah as 14 Parliamentary seats, Sarawak with less than 3 million population, has 20 parliamentary seats, Bukit Bintang with some 600K voters only 1 Parliamentary seat, and some Kedah ones have less than 5,000 voters!
***** Notwithstanding, any changes we can achieve, however small, will be for the better. It will dent the facade of the Barisan jaggernaut, and show them their arrogance and cocktalk can be defeated.
It is indeed high time and long overdue that we all “Get An MP” for each of our constitutency that will be a breath of fresh air against the halitosis we have all suffered all these years from this bunch of bocor, uneducated, uncouth politicians who continue to pollute our Parliament.
So to You Haris, Syabas and Best of Good Luck, and I will do my little bit to help clean up our polluted political environment, and hope that the breath of fresh air we all need will arrive fresh and clean!

February 9, 2008 at 7:42 pm
Yours is among the most sensible blogs that I’ve seen. If I may suggest, articles, essays and postings should be made to appeal to everyone (people in power as well as those in the opposition)so that in more ways than one this blog can be a very serious, focused and constructive medium of help to shape the Malaysia that we look forward to.

Kepada Encik Haris
Hi..terima kasih atas ucapan DAP ceramah, saya juga ekses dapceramah.com. Saya adalah keturunan Cina Baba Nyonya dan Encik Haris telah berkata satu yang amat penting sekali. Iaitu orang Melayu adalah orang yang bersopan santun dan berbudi bahasa. Hang tak bodek la.. :).
Hishamuddin tu putih melepak..dia tu ada campur sikit Chinese blood kah?
Terima kasih.

You have a great blog! I must congratulate you for your all your efforts promoting and introducing Malaysia to the World. Glad I found your site. Mine is nothing compared to yours, I’m not really a good writer but I tried for the sake of the animal abuse. You are welcome to surf and perhaps can give me comments to grow.
I will be truly happy if perhaps you could share with me with one of your Malaysia’s Banner just to include in my site. If you think I deserve it, please e-mail me with the code, so that I can paste it to my site. Thanks again, and I will definitely be visiting your interesting site always.
My salam, Lily Arbee - Marang, Terengganu, Malaysia

kembalilah ke jalan Allah.
anda menyokong lina joy, tak akan membawa anda ke mana.
anda bangga dgn meminum arak. sungguh malu saya mendengarnya.
masyallah. anda dah terlalu pandai sehingga hukum Allah pun anda rasa tak cukup bagus untuk manusia.
insaflah sebelum terlambat.byk lagi cara nak tunjuk pandai. Allah Maha Mengetahui saudara.
