Desperate UMNO-BARISAN A weapon of war prostitute Ummi Hafilda to expose her nipples Seduce Prime Minister tonight!

The Judge is dead. Be thankful people, ONE LESS evil to contend with.
HELL FIRE WILL EAT YOUTry your best to rest with fires burning around you… difficult heh?
Disgusting Paul has gone to be judged by his Maker. He committed great injustice to the many innocent who bore the consequences of his judgement. He shamed everyone who knew him, his profession and the country…he will be one loss many will rejoice to lose!Good riddance to a corrupt Judge.

Sad to say, but I join the members here in saying…. No Takziah from me.
This judge destroyed the credibility of the judiciary. If he fixed up Anwar’s case for money it is not going to help him now.
At the end of you life what is did right is what that counts. Mahathir take a lesson for this judge.
Augustine Paul will not walk down that corridor. Though he may have believed he was doing right, in the final analysis, his conduct on the bench and his written judgments will show that he had little to do with striving for justice. We will find that his conduct and judgments were very much in favour of the government in power in crucial cases. This was seen most vividly when he was a Judicial Commissioner hearing the Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim trial and reinforced throught his career. And for his abilities and judgments, he was rewarded magnificently – a Judicial Commissioner in 1996; High Court Judge in 1998; Court of Appeal Judge in 2003 and Federal Court in 2005. A Sessions Court Judge to a Federal Court Judge in less than 10 years.

And that is where our difficulty lies: he was a judge; he took an oath to uphold the Federal Constitution and the cause of justice; he may have thought he did it, but that is not enough. We, the public, must feel he did it too. If not that is not justice but merely favouring one over the other.

And that is where our difficulty lies: he was a judge; he took an oath to uphold the Federal Constitution and the cause of justice; he may have thought he did it, but that is not enough. We, the public, must feel he did it too. If not that is not justice but merely favouring one over the other. His oath (which can be found in the 6th Schedule of the Federal Constitution) reads as follows:

“I, …………., having been elected (or appointed) to the office of ……………………. do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully discharge the duties of that office to the best of my ability, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to Malaysia, and will preserve, protect and defend its Constitution.”

‘Malaysia’ in that oath does not just mean the Chief Justice, the Prime Minister or Barisan Nasional; it means all of us. That’s whom his faith and allegiance should have been to, each and every one of us – the rakyat. And there lies the difficulty – how do you celebrate or mourn for someone who has betrayed you so irretrievably, so steadfastly, without even a shudder of remorse? How?

You may rightly ask, why should someone like me, who didn’t like him and complained about his judgments most of the time now feel sad about not being able to celebrate his achievements or mourn for him? I confess I was surprised I felt this way at all. I really thought that I would be quite happy to read of his death and even celebrate it with friends. But when I actually read the news report, I felt quite sad but didn’t understand why.

After thinking it over, I can’t claim it is the answer but the following explanation does carry some resonance with me. As I have pointed out earlier, Augustine Paul for all his failings, was a human being. As I am. As we both are. And therein lies our commonality – our bond of humanity. But obstructing our bond, are his accomplishments.

So where does this sadness come from? It burns from my inability to reconcile myself to him because of what he did as a judge. It festers because, for me, he refused to redeem himself as a judge by doing justice in his final act as one. If he had written one powerful dissent despite its futility in one of those crucial cases, that would suffice to celebrate Augustine Paul the judge. If he did one heroic act of justice like lodge a police report revealing the corrupt acts that have gone or are going on in the judiciary before he left us all, we would not simply mourn Augustine Paul the judge, but the man as well. But he did nothing.

I must make it very clear that in the above, I only consider him as a judge. Not in other capacities. This is because I, like much of society, only know him as a judge, nothing else. He was not my father, friend or family. He may have been great in those other roles. But I don’t know and it is none of my business.

And this brings me to the part I cannot understand. Why do people blessed with such power, influence and such abilities to do great and good things to further the cause of justice do otherwise? Why do men so possessed of such wealth of intellect, eloquence and learning soil their entire familial heritage in the pursuit of mere money and superficial privilege?

Do they not see that they soil their own name when they do so? Do they not see that they disgrace the name of their fathers and mothers and their children’s as well (because their names are contained there)? Do they not see that all that money, title and things will eventually dissipate and the only good thing we can leave our name and the good we brought to others?

Augustine Paul THE HELL FIRE WILL EAT

DAILYYOUR WARIS WILL BE SELLING THEIR

ASSHOLEFOR LIVINGTHIS IS THE CURSE OF GOOD PEOPLE OF MALAYSIA

Have they lost knowing the pleasure and wholesome pride it stirs in someone when they are told their father/mother was good and honest, dependable, someone who can be counted to act in the cause of justice, not just her name?

I can only feel for Augustine Paul with what he has left us.

And that is an irreconcilable sadness of what could have been.

Ummi confesses to being the architectthe Anwar sodomy allegation; a purely fabricated charge
During the earlier trial, it was revealed that the Special Branch tried to convince Anwar to “take action” but that Anwar refused, until pressed further by the Director who said it was “for the sake of national security” before Anwar agreed that action be taken.
In a new twist to the Anwar Saga, it was revealed that Ummi Hafilda Ali was the architect behind the accusation that Anwar had sodomised Azizan Abu Bakar. And, for this, she was disowned by her father just months before he died of a broken heart.

Christopher Fernando told the Kuala Lumpur Appeal Court that Said Awang, the Director of the Special Branch, went to meet Azmin Ali, Ummi’s brother, who was then Anwar’s Chief Private Secretary, to solicit his (Azmin’s) assistance to persuade Ummi to retract the allegation that Anwar had sodomised Azizan.

What is most interesting by this revelation is that:

1. Said Awang went to meet Azmin BEFORE he met Anwar. Therefore, the allegation that Anwar had abused his position by summoning the Special Branch, and that he asked them to force Ummi and Azizan to withdraw the sodomy allegation, is a fallacy. In fact, it was not Anwar who summoned Said Awang to see him, but the Special Branch Director who took the initiative to meet Anwar.

2. The idea to persuade Ummi and Azizan to retract the sodomy allegation came from the Special Branch and not Anwar. During the earlier trial, it was revealed that the Special Branch tried to convince Anwar to “take action” but that Anwar refused, until pressed further by the Director who said it was “for the sake of national security” before Anwar agreed that action be taken.

3. The Special Branch was fully aware that it was Ummi who was behind the sodomy allegation and that Azizan was merely the instrument to the whole thing. That was why they wanted Azmin, her brother, to try to persuade Ummi to retract the allegation.

This sheds light on the previous day’s proceedings where Fernando revealed that Azizan testified three times, under oath, that Anwar never sodomised him – an admission that took even the trial judge aback.

Fernando related how Said went to meet Azmin to request a meeting with Anwar Ibrahim. In the meeting with Azmin, Said asked him whether Ummi is his sister and Azmin confirmed so.

Said Awang then asked Azmin whether he was able to persuade his sister to withdraw the sodomy allegation against Anwar but Azmin replied that would be impossible as he no longer talked to his sister since the allegation surfaced.

The Special Branch was aware that Ummi was behind the accusation and was, in fact, the plotter of the whole thing. And, the period when this discussion with Azmin was going on, the Special Branch had not met Anwar yet.

Azmin then called the family together to discuss the issue. In all, three meetings were held that included Ummi herself.

Ummi at first denied she had written the letter to the Prime Minister accusing Anwar of sodomy. Azmin then advised his sister to steer clear of the conspiracy, and that was when she admitted this would be impossible to do as she had been promised money and contracts for her role and, in fact, money had already changed hands.

Ummi later confessed to her father her involvement in the conspiracy and that it was actually she who had written the letter to the Prime Minister. The father, a religious teacher, then disowned her and, soon after, died of a broken heart, never forgiving his daughter for what she had done.

It was clear, from the testimony in court, that Azizan’s letter to the Prime Minister had been written by Ummi. Ummi had confessed to this. Azizan, in turn, during the course of the trial, admitted that Anwar did not sodomise him.

However, when the defence tried to bring up this very crucial bit of evidence during the trial, the trial judge disallowed it. The judge refused to allow the letter to be admitted as evidence or to allow Ummi to be called to court to testify.

Ummi’s role in this whole thing was clear and indisputable. The fact the sodomy accusation against Anwar was false was apparent. Just before he died, Ummi’s father wrote an open letter to Harakah, an opposition newspaper, explaining the whole matter and, in no uncertain terms, accused his daughter of involvement in the conspiracy to frame Anwar and of being the person who wrote the letter to the Prime Minister.

Had the judge allowed this crucial bit of evidence to be admitted, argued Fernando, it would have changed the entire complexion of the case and the judge would have been hard-pressed to find Anwar guilty.

Attempt after attempt was made to frame Anwar of sexual misconduct charges; and Pak Lah is involved too

“There was an evil plot to secure a conviction through devious means,” said Christopher Fernando on the second day of Anwar’s appeal hearing in the Kuala Lumpur Appeal Court.

Fernando then told the court that attempt after attempt was made to frame Anwar on sexual misconduct charges.

One such case was Dr. Munawar Ahmad Anees, then one of Anwar’s speech writers, who was arrested and subjected to physical and mental torture to force him to admit he had a homosexual relationship with Anwar.

Fernando then took the court through the lengthy Affidavit signed by Dr Munawar on 7 November 1998 that detailed the experience he went through at the hands of the Malaysian police.

The torture he endured finally broke him and he admitted to the ‘crime’, which he later retracted in his Affidavit.

Fernando then brought the court’s attention back to the Manjeet Singh Dhillon matter that was raised in court yesterday to emphasis his point of yet another attempt to frame Anwar.

At this point, Fernando called upon the court to recommend a Royal Commission of Inquiry be established to investigate Manjit Singh Dhillon’s serious allegation against Abdul Gani Patail and Azhar Mohamad as this is a most serious matter affecting the administration of justice and the rule of law.

“If they are found not to be involved in extorting fabricated evidence, then their names will be cleared,” said Fernando. “It will be to their benefit.”

“If they are involved, then they ought to be brought to justice. That is the only way to resolve this pressing problem and to restore public confidence.”

Clearly there was a concerted effort to frame Anwar. But these attempts were not confined to Malaysia. It also extended to the shores of the US as well, argued Fernando. One case in point was an incident involving Jamal Abder Rahman.

“We are trying to show a pattern, how witnesses were approached to give fabricated evidence and these efforts extended beyond the shores of Malaysia to the US,” said Fernando.

Jamal is an American citizen of Arab descent who operates a limousine service in Washington DC and had a contract to provide limousine services to the Malaysian Embassy in Washington.

In September 1998, soon after Anwar’s dismissal and subsequent arrest, a Malaysian Diplomat, Mustapha Ong, asked Jamal to declare that he had procured women and young boys for Anwar.

“A witness who constantly changes his stand means he is lying,” argued Karpal. “And yet the judge declared that Azizan’s testimony is ‘as strong as the Rock of Gibraltar’.”

THE CORRIDORS OF POWER

Raja Petra Kamarudin

“The prosecution not only wanted their pound of flesh, it also wanted a pint of blood”

Karpal Singh continued where he left off on Wednesday, 26 March 2003, by emphasising that Section 402A of the Criminal Procedure Code is mandatory and there is absolutely no discretion in the matter.

The Kuala Lumpur Appeal Court was told that the date on the charge against Anwar was amended twice; from ‘May 1994’, to ‘May 1992’, then to ‘one day from1 January 1993 to 31 March 1993’. The defence had asked for a postponement to allow it time to file its notice of alibi but the court did not grant this ten-day grace that it should have under the law.

“This violated Article 5(1) of the Constitution,” argued Karpal. “Dato Seri Anwar was deprived of his right under the law.”

Karpal said the trial judge had acted prejudicial and irredeemable and he ought not to have sanctioned the prosecution of Anwar.

Karpal then asked the court to consider setting aside the judgement against Anwar.

On the credibility of the prosecution’s star witness, Azizan Abu Bakar, Karpal said Azizan gave five conflicting statements at different points of time.

Azizan’s statement was recorded under Section 112 of the Criminal Procedure Code and, under this section of the code, a person whose statement is being recorded:

1. Must answer all questions posed to him. (He/she cannot refuse to answer any question).

2. Must tell the truth. (He/she cannot lie).

3. Anything he/she says can be used against him/her. (Including cited for perjury if he/she lies).

Azizan, who had his statement recorded over five different dates from August 1997 until June 1999, however, kept changing his stand.

“A witness who constantly changes his stand means he is lying,” argued Karpal. “And yet the judge declared that Azizan’s testimony is ‘as strong as the Rock of Gibraltar’.”

“Far from it!” said Karpal.

“The duty of the prosecutor is not to obtain a conviction but to administer justice.”

“The role of the prosecutor should exclude the notion of winning or losing.”

Karpal said that since Azizan made five conflicting statements at different points of time, this “made an improbability of what actually happened.”

As for the fact that Anwar was charged in 1999 for an event that was alleged to have happened in 1993, the six years delay would have reduced his opportunity of preparing a proper defence.

“Memories fail with time erasing the ability to recollect happenings six years ago,” said Karpal. “A fair trial could not be achieved with such a long time lapse.”

“Under section 402A, Dato Seri Anwar’s trial should never have taken place. This is a serious miscarriage of justice.”

“Your Lordships are bound to rule that Section 402A has been infringed.”

The Bench and Karpal then engaged in a debate as to the notice of alibi which, according to the Bench, is to the benefit of the prosecution.

Karpal argued that it did not matter as to whose benefit the notice of alibi may be. It is something mandatory and not something the judge could use his discretion to rule. The defence had made a request for a postponement but the trail judge denied the request.

“The judge did not do his duty. He should have stopped the trial and all the evidence should have been ruled inadmissible.”

Karpal then related how the defence had applied for a postponement to allow the investigating officer to investigate Anwar’s alibi. The Attorney-General then, Tan Sri Mohtar Abdullah, stood up to say he had no objections to the postponement.

“However, after lunch, the AG turned turtle and raised an objection.”

Even the judge had declared that the police should investigate the alibi. “Then, later, he turned round and said that it is their choice, that it was their discretion if they choose to do so.

“The judge said that it was the prosecution’s own funeral if they do not challenge the defence’s alibi.”

Karpal then told the court that the judge had stated that corroboration is necessary. He then turned around and said he was prepared to accept Azizan’s testimony without corroboration though Azizan was an unreliable testimony who perjured himself many times.

“Corroboration is necessary. But, if a witness is unreliable, then, even if his testimony is corroborated, it still cannot be accepted and should be rejected.”

Karpal then took the court through Azizan’s close proximity (khalwat) case in the Alor Gajah Syariah Court. Because of this case, Azizan’s credibility as a witness had been destroyed.

Azizan said he had revealed the alleged sodomy incident because of his “duty and honour as a Muslim.”

Karpal said the defence then requested to recall Azizan as a witness to reassess his credibility. The judge, however, would not allow it.

“You can put a label of a thoroughbred on a horse,” said Karpal. “But a donkey is still a donkey.”

“The judge was not only scraping the bottom of the barrel. He was scraping the outer bottom of the barrel.”

The investigation officer had testified that Azizan’s testimony had no contradictions. “Then why amend the date on the charge?” asked Karpal.

“Was the judge judicially honest in arriving at the decision that Azizan is a reliable witness who did not perjure himself?”

Karpal then said that medical evidence is prime evidence. “Why was Azizan not sent for a medical examination? This could have corroborated Azizan’s testimony.”

“The investigation officer admitted that there was still time to send Azizan for a medical examination.”

“The judge swallowed the evidence hook line and sinker.”

“Allegations of sodomy can easily be made but are very difficult to prove. The evidence therefore must be very convincing.”

In any trial, there is the prosecution’s case and the defence’s case. But Dato Seri Anwar was denied his constitutional right to a proper defence. Anwar, therefore, had only half a trial – which means he had no trial.

Karpal then asked the court to allow Anwar’s appeal and set aside the conviction.

“Anwar’s prosecution, in fact, ought not to have commenced right from the word go. No man properly trained in the law would have done what the AG (then) had done.”

“The prosecution not only wanted their pound of flesh. It also wanted a pint of blood.”

“Azizan’s evidence has turned to stardust.”

Yes, God has sent us many signs. If not why would Augustine Paul expire at the same time as the sign above Umno’s headquarters? Was not Augustine the main scumbag in the Anwar Ibrahim trial?

Fernando then took the court through the testimony of Raja Kamaruddin Raja Wahid, a.k.a Raja Komando, who had, in fine detail, revealed how the conspiracy against Anwar originally unfolded and the role he was given in this whole conspiracy.

“Ummi Hafilda is a prostitute,” said Aziz Samsuddin Day three of Anwar Ibrahim’s appeal hearing at the Kuala Lumpur Appeal Court hit a high note today when Christopher Fernando read out transcripts of the previous trial that quoted Aziz Samsuddin as saying Ummi Hafilda Ali is a prostitute.Fernando started by recapping yesterday’s proceeding where he had told the court Ummi had been disowned by the father after she confessed to writing the letter to the Prime Minister, Dr Mahathir Mohamad, accusing Anwar of sodomising Azizan Abu Bakar, one-time driver of Anwar’s wife, Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.Ummi’s father, a religious teacher, just before he died, wrote an open letter to the Harakah detailing the reasons he had disowned her and, in no uncertain terms, implicated her as the prime mover behind Azizan.“Ummi’s father died broken-hearted without ever forgiving his daughter for the role she played in framing Anwar of sodomy charges,” related Fernando.

Fernando had earlier read out Azmin Ali’s (Ummi’s brother) testimony in court that proved she played an active role in the whole conspiracy.

The prosecution never called her to testify in court to rebut this allegation, added Fernando. Instead they expected the defence to call her. The judge, in fact, even mentioned this point in his written judgment. “But Ummi would have been a hostile witness so it should have been up to the prosecution and not the defence to call her,” argued Fernando.Fernando said that the court should have invoked Section 114 (g) of the Evidence Act on the prosecution for failing to call a most crucial witness to testify in court.

Fernando then took the court through the testimony of Raja Kamaruddin Raja Wahid, a.k.a Raja Komando, who had, in fine detail, revealed how the conspiracy against Anwar originally unfolded and the role he was given in this whole conspiracy.

“The evidence of this witness will show he was invited to join the conspiracy with a view to topple the Deputy Prime Minister,” said Fernando.

“The meeting was held in the office of Aziz Samsuddin, the Prime Minister’s Political Secretary, on 26 June 1998.”

In the meeting, revealed Fernando, Aziz confirmed that Ummi and Azizan would pose no problem as “Ummi is a prostitute”.Raja Komando then asked Aziz whether there was any other way to bring Anwar down.According to Raja Komando, “Aziz replied sodomy would be the best way. Other ways would have no affect.”“Raja Komando’s role was to manage the political assassination part of the exercise,” added Fernando. “The sodomy allegation was assigned to Ummi and Azizan.”

“Raja Komando was to disseminate the allegation as far and wide as possible. He was also to spread word that Anwar is a CIA agent.”From what Fernando told the court today, it was clearly established in the meeting Raja Komando had with Aziz Samsuddin that he (Aziz) was the Chief Conspirator and that, while Ummi had written the purported “Azizan” letter to the Prime Minister accusing Anwar of sodomy, Aziz was the one who had edited and redrafted it.

The letter, Fernando said, was based on the book “50 Reasons Why Anwar Cannot be PM” – which somehow found its way into the attaché bags of almost 2,000 delegates at the Umno General Assembly that year.“The judge did not give this evidence the weight it deserved,” argued Fernando. “He erred, grossly.”“If he had given the evidence the weight it deserved, would he have arrived at the judgment he did?”And what about the tragedies befalling the rest of the gang of conspirators? Remember what happened to Aziz Samsuddin, Dr Ristina Majid, Megat Junid, Mohtar Abdullah, Ummi Hafilda Ali, Azizan Abu Bakar, Hamzah Zainuddin, Rahim Thamby Chik, Daim Zainuddin, etc.?

The only two remaining yet to hit the dirt are the AG and the IGP. These two are still awaiting judgment on earth. And when it comes it will come hard and brutal. So stay tuned to see how the remaining scumbags find their faces hitting the shit in time to come

Ummi Hafilda Ali, the star witness in Anwar Ibrahim’s sodomy and abuse of power trials in 1999, has reiterated her plans to sue the latter and other opposition leaders.

At a packed press conference in Subang Jaya today, Ummi said that she is looking at a possible RM300 mil suit against Anwar for allegedly abusing his power as deputy premier to detain her unlawfully in 1997.

Ummi, 43, said that her legal team is still studying the matter.

Although the alleged incident happened in 1997, her legal advisors had told her that civil action can still be taken as the courts had took until Sept 2004 to acquit him of an abuse of power charge.

Thus, Ummi dismissed the notion that her suit falls outside the seven-year stipulation to initiate civil action.

However, Ummi was unable to say when the suit will be filed.

Ummi said that she will be suing Anwar to “save the country” from Anwar and PKR deputy president Azmin Ali, who is also her elder brother.

“This is why I would like to expose the two. I know them well and I want to save the country and the next general election from them,” she said.

Other than Anwar, Ummi plans to sue DAP chairperson Karpal Singh for RM200 million for breach of trust and PKR president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail for RM100 keeping quiet about Anwar’s ‘misdeeds’.

Also in the firing line is PAS because the party once sent its central committee Mohamad Sabu to hear her story, but now supports Anwar. She aims to sue PAS for RM100 million.

DURHAKA KEPADA ORANG TUA

Oleh Zana, 2005-11-17 11:30:24, IP : 219.93.8.15
Pada hari kiamat, orang yang durhaka kepada orang tua akan mendapatkan siksa yang sangat berat dan pedih. Mengapa demikian hukuman Allah SAW.? Karena dia telah menentang perintah Allah, serta melakukan perbuatan yang sangat keji. Allah telah memerintahkan, agar setiap orang senantiasa memuliakan orangtua.
The Best Siren Is A Flesh Siren
Bahkan perintah berbakti kepada orangtua disejajarkan dengan perintah beribadah kepada-Nya. Dalam Al-Qur’an telah ditegaskan “Dan Tuhanmu telah memerintahkan agar kamu jangan menyembah selain Dia, dan hendaklah kamu berbuat baik kepada ibu-bapakmu dengan sebaik-baiknya. Jika salah seorangdari keduanya atau kedua-duanya sampai berusia lanjut dalam pemeliharaanmu, maka jangan sekali-kali mengatakan : hus, dan janganlah kamu membentak mereka, serta ucapkanlah kepada mereka ucapan yang mulia.

Dan rendahkanlah dirimu terhadap mereka dengan penuh kasih sayang, serta ucapkanlah : “Ya Tuhanku, kasihanilah mereka sebagaimana mereka keduanya telah mendidik aku sewaktu kecil.” (QS. Al-Isra’ : 23-24).

Keharusan bersyukur kepada kedua orangtua juga ditegaskan oleh Allah SWT. dalam Al-Qur’an: “Dan Kami perintahkan kepada manusia agar berbuat baik kepada dua orang ibu-bapaknya. Ibunya telah mengandungnya dalam keadaan lemah yang bertambah-tambah, dan menyapihnya dalam dua tahun. Bersyukurlah kepada-Ku dan kepada dua orang ibu-bapakmu. Hanya kepada-Ku-lah kamu akan kembali.” (QS.Luqman: 14).

Berbakti kepada orangtua, nilai pahalanya tidak kalah dengan berjihad di jalan Allah. Sahabat Abdullah bin Amrin bin Ash menerangkan : “Pada suatu ketika ada seorang lelaki datang menghadap Rasulullah, memohon ijin untuk ikut berjihad bersama beliau. Lantas Rasulullah bertanya kepada lelaki itu: “Adakah orangtuamu masih hidup?” Jawabnya: “Ya, orangtuaku masih hidup dan telah berusia lanjut.” Rasulullah kemudian bersabda: “Berbaktilah dan urus mereka dengan sebaik-baiknya, dalam diri orangtuamu itulah terdapat nilai jihad.” (HR.Bukhari dan Muslim dari Abdullah bin Amrin bin Ash). Durhaka kepada orangtua termasuk perbuatan dosa besar.
Berg – Lulu / Davis, Schafer, Bailey, Kuebler, Harries, Schone, Bardon, Glyndebourne
Dalam hal ini Rasulullah telah menegaskan: “Maukah sekiranya aku menceritakan kepadamu tentang sebesar-besar dosa besar? Yakni menyekutukan Allah dan durhaka kepada orangtua.” Lantas Rasulullah duduk, lalu bersabda lagi: “Ingatlah, ucapan dusta dan sumpah palsu adalah termasuk dosa besar pula.” (HR. Bukhari dan Muslim). Jadi, orang yang durhaka kepada orangtua dosanya sama dengan dosa menyekutukan Allah. Karena itu, berhati-hatilah!Allah sangat melaknat orang yang berbuat durhaka kepada orangtua. Dalam hal ini Rasulullah telah menegaskan: “Allah sangat melaknat orang yang durhaka kepada orangtua.Pretty Woman [Blu-ray]

Allah sangat melaknat orang yang mencela bapaknya, dan Allah sangat melaknat orang yang menyakiti hati ibunya.”(HR.Ibnu Hibban dari Ibnu Abbas).Siksa bagi orang yang berbuat durhaka kepada orangtua, diberikan dengan segera di dunia ini. Padahal dosa-dosa yang lain, siksanya ditunda sampai dengan hari kiamat tiba,

sebagaimana ditegaskan oleh Rasulullah: “Setiap dosa, siksanya ditunda sampai dengan hari kiamat tiba, kecuali siksa bagi orang yang durhaka kepada orangtua. Kepada pelakunya siksaan itu akan diberikan dengan segera, ketika masih berada di dunia ini.” (HR.Hakim dan Abu Bakar).
Eleven Minutes: A Novel (P.S.)
Itulah pula yang menjadi tanda dari sebuah “dosa besar”, yaitu manakala pelakunya akan mendapatkan laknat dari Allah SWT. baik ketika masih berada di dunia (masih hidup) maupun di akhirat nanti (setelah mati).Imam Bukhari dan Muslim mengetengahkan sebuah riwayat, bahwa pada suatu ketika ada seorang lelaki datang menghadap Rasulullah, seraya berkata : “Ya Rasulallah, siapakah di antara manusia ini yang paling berhak aku pergauli dengan baik?” Jawab Rasulullah : “Ibumu.” Lelaki itu bertanya lagi: “Kemudian siapa lagi?” Jawab Rasulullah: “Ibumu.” Lelaki itu kemudian bertanya lagi: “Kemudian siapa lagi, ya Rasulallah?” Jawab Rasulullah: “Ibumu.” Lantas lelaki itu bertanya lagi: “Ya Rasulallah, kemudian siapa lagi?” Jawab Rasulullah: “Bapakmu. Baru kemudian keluargamu yang lebih dekat, dan yang lebih dekat.”Secara tegas Rasulullah menekankan, bahwa berbakti kepada ibu lebih penting daripada berbakti kepada bapak. Demikian pula penghormatan serta kasih sayang kepada ibu harus lebih diprioritaskan.
The AmericanThe American
Itulah sebabnya Rasulullah menyebutnya sampai tiga kali, sementara berbuat baik dan bakti kepada seorang bapak hanya disebut satu kali. Rasulullah berpesan demikian, karena pada kenyataannya perhatian dan kecintaan seorang ibu terhadap anak-anaknya jauh lebih besar dibandingkan dengan kecintaan dan perhatian seorang bapak.

Cobalah renungkan, penderitaan, kesabaran dan kecintaan seorang ibu mulai sejak mengandung selama sembilan bulan, melahirkan, menyusui, mengasuh, berjaga semalaman ketika si anak sedang sakit, mendidik sejak usia dini, semua kasih sayang seorang ibu dicurahkan kepada anaknya dengan penuh ketulusan hati.Sebelum terlambat dan tertutupnya pintu tobat, dan menghindari kemurkaan Allah SWT. kepada kita dengan azab dan siksa yang pedih baik di dunia maupun di akhirat, seorang anak, terutama ketika kedua orang tua masih hidup, sudah sepatutnya berbakti kepada kedua orang tua dengan sebaik-baiknya dengan memperlakukan ibu dan bapak dengan penuh hormat dan dengan adab dan akhlak yang baik. Kenikmatan yang diperoleh anak manusia yang berasal dari karunia Allah SWT. melalui orangtuanya dari sejak berupa janin di rahim ibu sampai berhasil lulus menjadi sarjana atau lebih tinggi lagi, sungguh tidak bisa dinilai dengan uang. Namun, orangtua sama sekali tidak mengharapkan balasan berupa materi, melainkan hanya kasih sayang dan rasa hormat anak-anaknya. Banyak anak yang durhaka kepada orangtua karena menganggap dia lebih pintar, lebih kaya atau lebih terhormat dibandingkan kedua orangtuanya yang kurang berpendidikan dan hidup sederhana di kampung.
Rustlers’ Rhapsody
Seorang anak seringkali juga berbuat durhaka kepada kedua orangtuanya karena pengaruh seorang isteri atau suaminya. Kini sudah banyak kita lihat dalam kehidupan, orang yang lebih mementingkan dan menuruti kemauan seorang isteri daripada orangtuanya. Bahkan tidak jarang mereka bahkan berani memperbudak orangtuanya untuk mencari kesetiaan dan simpati sang isteri. Mereka lupa bahwa kepintaran, kesuksesan dan kemewahan yang mereka dapatkan, semata-mata karena jerih payah penderitaan, dan yang paling utama adalah keikhlasan serta do’a dari orangtuanya. Jika sudah demikian, tunggulah musibah besar pasti akan menimpa mereka.Bagaimana adab seorang anak dihadapan orangtua sehingga terhindar dari perbuatan durhaka dan murka Allah yang sangat pedih di dunia dan di akhirat?
The Murder of Helen Jewett
Beberapa diantaranya adalah :

1.. Mendengar dan memperhatikan ucapan orangtua dengan khidmat dan jangan sekali-kali memotong atau membantah ucapannya sebelum ia selesai berbicara. Memotong pembicaraan orangtua sama dengan tidak menghormatinya.
Depeche Mode: The Videos 86 – 98
2.. Bersikap patuh terhadap perintah orangtua, selama perintah itu tidak bertentangan dengan hukum dan syari’ah agama dan bukan kedurhakaan terhadap Allah.

3.. Tidak mengeraskan suara melebihi orangtua, melainkan bertutur kata dengan lemah lembut dan penuh hormat.

4.. Menjawab panggilan orangtua dengan segera dan jawaban yang lemah lembut.
The Last American Virgin

5.. Selalu berusaha mencari keridhaan orangtua. Rasulullah saw. bersabda: “Keridhaan Allah tergantung dari keridhaan orangtua dan murka Allah-pun tergantung pada kemurkaan orangtua. (HR.Hakim).

6.. Bersikap sopan, ramah dan tawadhu’ di hadapan orangtua. Seorang anak jangan bersikap urakan di depan orangtua, apalagi memperlakukannya dengan semena-mena, misalnya dengan membentak dengan perkataan kasar atau menyakitinya secara fisik. Perbuatan semacam ini jelas perbuatan seorang anak yang durhaka yang sangat dimurkai Allah.

Controversy queen Ummi Hafilda is now setting her sights on Merlimau where her one-time hero and now greatest-foe Anwar Ibrahim is also campaigning.

No prizes for guesses here. For sure, Ummi has only one intention tonight when she appears at Malay village Kampung Chinchin to deliver aceramah or political lecture.

And it won’t be to make eyes at Anwar, whom she once confessed to having a crush on. More likely, she will bang the man for his sodomy charges.

After all, she was the woman Malaysians loved to hate during the sensational 1998 court trial when she helped incriminate the Opposition Leader and got him jailed for 6 years for sodomizing his wife’s chauffeur.

But Anwar’s Parti Keadilan Rakyat mates are not at all concerned.

“ words are not worth the words of a prostitute. Her values go up because of the elections and no one takes her seriously, trust me,” Seri Setia assemblyman Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad told Malaysia Chronicle.

Then there was Azalina and Rafidah

True or not, Ummi is likely to draw a good-sized crowd tonight. While they may not believe a word of what she says, most Malaysians generally enjoy watching her antics.

At 43 and recently married to an Iranian, she still cuts a pretty and petite figure.

She vanished from the local scene after Anwar's 1998 trial amid much public scolding and after being disowned by her father for ‘making up stories’. But she also returned intermittently to help certain Umno leaders attack their political foes.

In 2002, she accused former Tourism minister Azalina Othman of being a lesbian and claimed she was going public because she couldn’t stand the latter’s “unacceptable sexual preference.” Azalina was once the object of former Trade minister Rafidah Aziz's ire.

Ummi's name also cropped up when officials at Tourism ministry unit Pempena were hauled up in 2010 over why four cheques totaling RM169,700 were paid to her as sponsorship money for organizing Arab singer Amr Diab’s concert in Malaysia, even though the Pempena board had not approved the payments.

“The only question she needs to answer to the government that she hasn’t answered is the scandal between herself and Azalina involving the payments,” said Nik Nazmi.

Earlier this year, she reappeared to attack Anwar after he challenged Prime Minister Najib Razak to an economic debate.

Najib had refused, sparking accusations of cowardice and that he was not up to a public face-off Anwar, who is known for his oratorical skills.

What role have Arab women played in the popular uprisings around the Middle East and what stake do they really have in their countries' political future?

They have often been stereotyped as passive, voiceless, politically apathetic and religiously repressed.

But scenes around the Middle East have complicated preconceptions, with women seen as active political players in trade unions, grass roots activism and other political organisations.

On Tuesday's Riz Khan we discuss how Arab women have long been committed to fighting for a more equitable society. 

We are joined by Rabab al-Mahdi, a professor of political science at the American University in Cairo; Frances Hasso, a professor of Women's Studies at Duke University; and Nadje al-Ali, a social anthropologist at the University of London.

In the war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo, records indicate that up to half a million women have been victims of sexual violence. For many, the trauma of the initial attack is compounded by social stigmas, leaving women isolated and marginalised.

On Wednesday's Riz Khan we ask: What can be done to eradicate rape as a weapon of war in the Democratic Republic of Congo?

We are joined by world renowned feminist and activist, Eve Ensler, whose latest project "City of Joy" provides shelter and counselling to women of the DRC; and award-winning photojournalist, Marcus Bleasdale, who has spent nearly a decade covering the conflict there.

A tribute to the Egyptian women who were at the forefront of the uprising. 16 photos | 131,392 views items are from between 01 Feb 2011 & 17 Feb 2011. When 26-year-old Asmaa Mahfouz wrote on Facebook that she was going to Cairo's Tahrir Square and urged all those who wanted to save the country to join her, the founding member of the April 6 Youth Movement was hoping to seize the moment as Tunisians showed that it was possible for a popular uprising to defeat a dictator. Mahfouz later explained on Egyptian television that she and three others from the movement went to the square and began shouting: "Egyptians, four people set themselves on fire out of humiliation and poverty. Egyptians, four people set fire to themselves because they were afraid of the security agencies, not of the fire. Four people set fire to themselves in order to tell you to awaken. We are setting ourselves on fire so that you will take action. Four people set themselves on fire in order to say to the regime: Wake up. We are fed up." In a video she subsequently posted online , which quickly went viral, she declared: "As long as you say there is no hope, then there will be no hope, but if you go down and take a stance, then there will be hope." Egyptian women, just like men, took up the call to 'hope'. Here they describe the spirit of Tahrir - the camaraderie and equality they experienced - and their hope that the model of democracy established there will be carried forward as Egyptians shape a new political and social landscape. Mona Seif, 24, researcher  I have never felt as at peace and as safe as I did during those days in Tahrir The daughter of a political activist who was imprisoned at the time of her birth and the sister of a blogger who was jailed by the Mubarak regime, Mona Seif says nothing could have prepared her for the scale and intensity of the protests. "I didn't think it was going to be a revolution. I thought if we could [mobilise] a couple of thousand people then that would be great. I was angry about the corruption in the country, [about the death of] Khaled Said and the torture of those suspected but never convicted [of being behind] the Alexandria Coptic church [bombing]. I realised this was going to be bigger than we had anticipated when 20,000 people marched towards Tahrir Square on January 25. That is when we saw a shift; it was not about the minimum wage or emergency law anymore. It became much bigger than this, it turned into a protest against the regime, demanding that Mubarak step down and that parliament be dissolved. On the night later dubbed 'the battle of the camels' when pro-Mubarak thugs attacked us, I was terrified. I thought they were going to shoot us all and get it over with. The turning point for me was when I saw the number of people ready to face death for their beliefs. "The turning point for me was when I saw the number of people ready to die for their beliefs" Mona Seif I was amazed by the peoples’ determination to keep this peaceful even when we were under deadly attacks. When we caught the pro-Mubarak thugs, the guys would protect them from being beaten and say: 'Peaceful, peaceful, we are not going to beat anyone up’. That was when I started thinking: 'No matter what happens we are not going to quit until Mubarak leaves'. The spirit of the people in Tahrir kept us going. My friend and I had the role of ensuring that all of the videos and pictures from Tahrir were uploaded and as the internet connection was bad in Tahrir, we would use a friend’s nearby flat to make sure the images made it out so everyone could see what was happening in the square. I have never felt as at peace and as safe as I did during those days in Tahrir. There was a sense of coexistence that overcame all of the problems that usually happen - whether religious or gender based. Pre-January 25 whenever we would attend protests I would always be told by the men to go to the back to avoid getting injured and that used to anger me. But since January 25 people have begun to treat me as an equal. There was this unspoken admiration for one another in the square. We went through many ups and downs together. It felt like it had become a different society - there was one Egypt inside Tahrir and another Egypt outside. The moment Tahrir opened up, we saw a lot of people that were not there before and there were reports of females being harassed. "There was one Egypt inside Tahrir and another Egypt outside" Mona Seif I know that Egypt has changed and we will transfer the spirit of the square to the rest of the country. Before Tahrir if I was [harassed] I would refrain from asking people for help, because there are a lot of people that would disappoint you by blaming you. But I think the spirit of the revolution has empowered us to spread the feeling we established wider and wider. From now on, if anything happens to me, I am going to scream, I am going to ask people to help me and I know that I will find people that will help me. I was in front of the TV building when the news broke about Mubarak stepping down. I found myself swept away with people screaming and cheering. It was an emotional moment that I celebrated with strangers. People were hugging me, shaking my hands, distributing sweets. At that moment we were all one. I no longer feel alienated from society. I now walk the streets of Cairo and smile at strangers all the time. I have gained a sense of belonging with everyone on the streets of Cairo - at least for now. Before January 25 I was tempted to leave the country. This feeling has changed now, I want to stay here. This is an extension of our role in the revolution, we have to stay here and contribute to changing our society." Gigi Ibrahim, 24, political activist In my experience women play a pivotal role in all protests and strikes Political activist Gigi Ibrahim played an instrumental role in spreading the word about the protests. "I started [my political activism] by just talking to people [who were] involved [in the labour movement]. Then I became more active and the whole thing became addictive. I went to meetings and took part in protests. I learned very quickly that most of the strikes in the labour movement were started by women. In my experience women play a pivotal role in all protests and strikes. Whenever violence erupts, the women would step up and fight the police, and they would be beaten just as much as the men. I have seen it during the Khaled Said protests in June 2010 when many women were beaten and arrested. Muslim, Christian - all types of women protested. My family always had problems with me taking part in protests. They prevented me from going for my safety because I am a girl. They were worried about the risks. I would have to lie about attending protests. When the police violently cleared the square on January 25, I was shot in the back by a rubber bullet while trying to run away from the police as they tear gassed us. I returned to the square, as did many others, the following day and stayed there on and off for the next 18 days. As things escalated my dad got increasingly worried. On January 28, my sister wanted to lock me in the house. They tried to stop me from leaving, but I was determined and I went out. I moved to my aunt's place that is closer toTahrir Square and I would go there every now and again to wash and rest before returning to the square. At first my family was very worried, but as things escalated they started to understand and to be more supportive. My family is not politically active at all. The day-to-day conditions were not easy. Most of us would use the bathroom inside the nearby mosque. Others would go to nearby flats where people kindly opened their homes for people to use. "[When the pro-Mubarak thugs attacked us] we were unarmed, we had nothing. That night I felt fear but it changed into determination" Gigi Ibrahim I was in Tahrir Square on February 2, when pro-Mubarak thugs attacked us with petrol bombs and rocks. That was the most horrific night. I was trapped in the middle of the square. The outskirts of the square were like a war zone. The more things escalated the more determined we became not to stop. Many people were injured and many died and that pushed us to go on and not give up. I thought if those armed pro-Mubarak thugs came inside the square it would be the end of us. We were unarmed, we had nothing. That night I felt fear but it changed into determination. The women played an important role that night. Because we were outnumbered, we had to secure all the exits in the square. The exits between each end of the square would take up to 10 minutes to reach, so the women would go and alert others about where the danger was coming from and make sure that the people who were battling swapped positions with others so that they could rest before going out into the battle again. The women were also taking care of the wounded in makeshift clinics in the square. Some women were on the front line throwing rocks with the men. I was on the front line documenting the battle with my camera. It was like nothing that I have ever seen or experienced before. During the 18 days neither I nor any of my friends were harassed. I slept in Tahrir with five men around me that I didn't know and I was safe. But that changed on the day Mubarak stepped down. The type of people who came then were not interested in the revolution. They were there to take pictures. They came for the carnival atmosphere and that was when things started to change. When the announcement came we all erupted in joy. I was screaming and crying. I hugged everyone around me. I went from being happy and crying to complete shock. It took a while for it to sink in. The revolution is not over. All of our demands have not yet been met. We have to continue. This is where the real hard work begins, but it will take a different shape than staging sit-ins in the square. Rebuilding Egypt is going to be tough and we all have to take part in this. There are organised strikes demanding workers’ rights for better pay and conditions and those are the battles to be won now." Salma El Tarzi, 33, filmmaker What kept us going was the conviction that we did not have any option - it was either freedom or go to jail Having never been politically active, Salma El Tarzi was sceptical about the protesters’ chances of getting their demands met until the day when she stood on her balcony and saw the crowds. She decided to join the protesters and has not looked back since. "I was protesting on my own on the 26th and 27th, but bumped into my younger brother in the crowd by chance on the 28th. We just carried on from then onward. What kept us going was the conviction that we did not have any option - it was either stay and fight for freedom or go to jail. My dad has been very supportive. He was getting to the point where he was telling me and my brother: "Don't run away from gun fire, run towards it." While in Tahrir we were all receiving threatening calls telling us that if we didn’t vacate the square we would be hunted and killed. But we didn't care at that point. We were at the point of no return. Tahrir Square became our mini model of how democracy should be. Living there was not easy. We would use a nearby mosque and I would go to a friend’s house every now and then to wash. But I must admit that conditions were not ideal. It was very cold, we slept on the floor. Some of us had tents and some made their own tents. Let’s put it this way, due to the difficult conditions we called it the 'smell of a revolution'. "Something changed in the dynamic between men and women in Tahrir. When the men saw that women were fighting on the front line that changed their perception of us and we were all united. We were all Egyptians now" Salma El Tarzi I was one of many women, young and old, there. We were as active as the men. Some acted as nurses and looked after the wounded during the battles; others were simply helping with distributing water. But there were a great number of women that were on the front line hurling stones at the police and pro-Mubarak thugs. The duties in the square were divided. We were very organised. Something changed in the dynamic between men and women in Tahrir. When the men saw that women were fighting in the front line that changed their perception of us and we were all united. We were all Egyptians now. The general view of women changed for many. Not a single case of sexual harassment happened during the protests up until the last day when Mubarak stepped down. That is a big change for Egypt. The fear barrier was broken for all of us. When we took part in the protests it was just a protest for our basic human rights, but they [the regime] escalated it to a revolution. Their brutality and violence turned it into a revolution. What started as a day of rage turned into a revolution that later toppled the regime that had been in power for 30 years. They [the regime] empowered us through their violence; they made us hold on to the dream of freedom even more. We were all walking around with wounds, but we still kept going. We were even treating injured horses that they had used in their brutal attacks against us. Before January 25 I didn't have faith that my voice could be heard. I didn't feel like I was in control of my future. The metaphor used by Mubarak that he was our father and we were his children made us feel as though we lacked any motivation. The revolution woke us up - a collective consciousness has been awoken."
