Kezaliman ISA

Sehingga hari ini, 3 orang telah ditahan di bawah Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri (ISA) atas dakwaan menimbulkan ketegangan kaum. Mereka ialah pengendali laman web Malaysia Today Raja Petra Kamarudin, wartawan Sin Chew Daily Tan Hoon Cheng, dan ahli Parlimen dari DAP Teresa Kok. Sila lihat artikel di sini.

Apakah bukti yang menunjukkan mereka ini menimbulkan ketegangan kaum di Malaysia? Sekiranya ada bukti, mengapa tidak dibawa sahaja ke mahkamah untuk dihukum di bawah Akta hasutan dan sebagainya? Apakah yang ditakuti oleh kerajaan untuk membawa mereka ke muka pengadilan? Adakah kerajaan juga tidak yakin dengan proses undang-undang di Malaysia? Persoalan demi persoalan timbul akibat tindakan tidak bertamadun ahli-ahli politik yang ingin menjaga periuk nasi mereka.

Kerajaan juga bersikap pilih kasih dalam melaksanakan keadilan. Sekiranya kerajaan benar-benar ikhlas ingin mengelakkan pertelingkahan kaum, mengapa Ketua Bahagian Umno Bukit Bendera yang mengatakan bahawa orang bukan Melayu sebagai kaum pendatang tidak dikenakan tindakan yang sama. Dibandingkan ISA dengan penggantungan keahlian Umno selama 3 tahun, sudah pasti setiap orang yang waras tahu yang manakah lebih ringan.

Islam sentiasa menekankan keadilan kepada semua, tidak mengira agama dan bangsa. Berikut petikan dari artikel Ustaz Hasrizal. Artikel penuh di sini.

"Tatkala Allah SWT mengungkapkan di dalam ayat itu, bahawa hukuman tahanan ke atas Yusuf adalah ‘hingga ke suatu masa’, saya tidak dapat lari dari tersungkur di hadapan segala keperitan yang ditanggung oleh tahanan ISA di negara kita. Yusuf dan mereka yang terkurung atas nama ISA, bukan dipenjara tetapi mereka ditahan. Ia bukan hukuman, tetapi suatu bentuk penyeksaan...."

Debat Tudung Muslimah: Bidasan Terhadap Raja Petra Malaysiatoday

Raja Petra dalam laman webnya Malaysia Today sekali lagi telah menimbulkan kekeliruan di dalam masyarakat Islam. Kali ini berkaitan dengan kewajipan bertudung bagi wanita Muslimah... Bacalah ulasan Ustaz Zaharuddin berkenaan hal ini.

"Dari itu, dalam perkara ini, menutup aurat termasuklah kepala, rambut, leher dan dada adalah satu perintah yang bukan hanya terhad kepada isteri-isteri Nabi, tetapi juga kepada seluruh kaum wanita Muslim. Ianya bukanlah hanya budaya bangsa Arab yang tinggal di padang pasir yang berdebu, tetapi adalah suatu perintah agama yang khusus. Malah kita dapat melihat bagaimana Allah swt mengarahkan Nabi untuk menyampaikan arahan menutup aurat ini kepada seluruh wanita yang beriman sebagaimana firman Allah :-

وَنِسَاء الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Yang bermaksud: "Wanita-wanita yang beriman"

Oleh itu sesiapa sahaja yang mengaku Muslim lagi mukmin, wajiblah mereka tunduk dan patuh serta mentaati perintah Allah sebagaimana yang dijelaskan dalam ayat tadi......."

Malaysiakini telah melaporkan bahawa Raja Petra telah ditahan di bawah Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri (ISA) hari ini. Walaupun dia telah menimbulkan kekeliruan di dalam masyarakat, namun ISA bukanlah penyelesaiannya. Penahanan tanpa bicara adalah tetap merupakan suatu kezaliman tidak kira siapa yang menjadi mangsa.

Selamat Hari Kebangsaan ke-51

Let us savor this 51st Merdeka Day and remember this year as the year of change....
Hurray Malaysia....
Let's face all the challenges that come with bravery and unity!!!!

Home: A Refreshing Retreat

It's been 3 weeks since I last posted here... It's been busy in the last weeks of surgical posting. My life has been quite miserable, unorganized and loss of calmness.

A week of holiday after the exam is something that we as medical students longed after.

Going home is very refreshing for me. Seeing the faces of my mother and father, feeling the serene suburb air, and going to the mosque here makes me forget the fast city culture. It's refreshing to forget the hard work in the hospital for a while.

I can surely re-energize and recharge myself to face another tiring and tedious ward work. Just hope that the psychiatric posting is more interesting than the surgical posting.

Attitude of doctors

Entering the medical school, we are always reminded about attitude. "Attitude is more important than knowledge. If you don't know you can always learn. But if your attitude is bad, it's hard to change." That is one of the commonest words that has always being preached to us.

But, what is attitude? "Your attitude to something is the way that you think and feel about it" (Collins Cobuild English Language Dictionary). So, is it really just that?So, we have different attitudes to different things, i.e. to ourselves, our superiors, our inferiors, other persons and the world generally.

So there must be bad attitude and good attitude. By judging our attitude to them, then the people will judge us. So, what attitude must we have as doctors? Most people respects and looks up to doctors. We, as future doctors should be the ones that people can emulate for the good of the society. What will people thinks we doctors acts thoughtlessly? Will they still believe what advice the doctors give then?

Some of us really acts without thinking about others. We never care how people feel when we do something. Sometimes a small thing can change the people's perception about us. Can you imagine when people say that the IIUM graduates are selfish. "Look at all those cars blocking the road, these are all the IIUM medical students' cars. They park as they feel like it, never thought of other people using the road." These small things can change the whole community's perception about us. What's wrong to walk a little bit if we cannot get a parking space near the campus? If we want nearer parking space, then come early like Masni who has the same parking spot since the 3rd year.

Be considerate towards others, then they will be considerate towards you. I just want to quote Masjid Negeri's Imam when he talked to the students who parked in his lawn, "Saya tak kisah kamu nk parking dlm kawasan saya. Tapi janganla halang laluan kereta saya. Anak saya pun doktor jugak, tapi saya selalu ingatkan dia janganla tau merawat orang jer."

Think about others first before you do something. If you think what you are doing is going to cause difficulty to others, find other alternatives. "Those who do not take concern of the Moslems' business, they are not one of them." So, if we do not take into consideration of the people in our local community, then how are we going to think about the global Islamic community. Think, and think, and think.

P/s: This article does not mean to hurt anyone. If I have done something that was inconsiderate to anyone in the past, I would like to apologize. Those who feel hurt about this article, I am very sorry.
