Bukit Tabur, Gombak
Next day we took up an offer to hike Bukit Tabur near Melawati and Ulu Klang Dam.
Our nephew a regular to Bukit Tabur offered to take us up and we were up to it. Looking at pictures of the hill, we were skeptical of us managing it. But it was just too good of an opportunity to refuse. 11am we started our way up hill. Ikram estimated the hike would take us 4 hours.
The trail started straight uphill and we were advised to take small steps at a time. My son Hazem offered help as we started to make the climb. The further up we went the more lagged behind from the group I was. The group: Me (45), Baba (44), Liyana (17), Ajim (14), Helmi (12), Ilham (8), Nazmi (14), Aizat (23) and Ikram (32).
By 12 we reached the first clearance to see the Tabur East, the Ulu Klang Dam water reservoir and KL. The trail took us uphill and downhill. We heard the azan for solat Zuhur when we were up there. It must have been from the UIA mosque nearby. With many stops to rest ourselves we walked along side cliff, climbed walls of stones, down a rope, down under large stones. Man it was challenging.
Towards the end of the ridge UIA is very close by. We can see the whole campus spread in front of us. 3:30 we reached the end of the trail.
We then started to follow the downward trail. You'd think it's a short way down, but it was like an endless walk along trees, shrubs, kebun durian, dusun, more trees, houses, fish pond and finally the road at the foothill. I can feel my toe nail biting the flesh with each step I took. I can barely walk but pushed myself to end the hike.
Bottom line, we made it up and across the Bukit Tabur ridge, and down in 6 hours!!
Clap! clap! clap! (Photo from Aizat's Flickr taken with timer)
Next we setup camp at the Ulu Klang Dam Recreational Park.

Serunding Daging
Serunding can be considered as a fast food. It can be a dish for lunch or dinner typically for the Malays.
During the fasting month of Ramadhan AlMubarak, serunding is a favourite dish expecially for Sahur. This is because when eating sahur one's appetite differs from eating at normal meals. Not only had one restained from eating during day time, one also had to wake up from sleep in the wee hours of morning to eat sahur. Waking up for sahur, the body is still dizzy, the eyes is hard to adjust to light, and the throat is dry, and mostly the desire is to go back to sleep. The tasty serunding will open the appetite for a sufficient meal in preparation for the next day puasa.
For Hari Raya, serunding is taken with ketupat, or used as filllings for ketupat palas
In Kelantan, there are many families making serunding as their small business at their homes, especially at Kampung Laut, Tumpat. Here serunding is made in large "kawah"s batch wise. An eight kawah proces is manned by three ladies. The process is systematic to ensure productivity. Here you can buy them in kilo bags or in 250gm pre-packed packages.
Contact me if you wish to get some for your own consumption or business.

Doa Malam Lailatul Qadar
"Say: O Allaah, indeed you are All-Pardoning. You love forgiveness, so forgive me."
more from...
The Virtues of the Night of Al-Qadr
Author:'Abdullaah Ibn Saalih Al-Fawzaan
Source:Ahaadeeth As-Siyaam (pg. 141-143)
Abu Hurairah (raa) reported that the Messenger of Allaah (saws) said: "Whoever performs the night prayer on the night of Al-Qadr with Eemaan (firm belief) and seeking reward will have all his past sins forgiven." [1]
This hadeeth is evidence for the virtue of the night of Al-Qadr as well as performing qiyaam (night prayer) during it. And it indicates that it is a grand night, which Allaah has honored and made better than a thousand months, with regard to its blessing and the blessings found in the righteous deeds that are performed in it. Thus it is better than the worship of a thousand months and that is equivalent to eighty-three years and four months. Due to this, whoever performs qiyaam (night prayer) with true faith and while seeking reward in it, will be forgiven his past sins. There were certain verses revealed concerning this virtue:
Allaah says: "We sent it (the Qur'aan) down on a blessed night. Verily We are Ever-Warning. Therein (on that night) is decreed every matter of ordainment." [2]
Therefore, it is a "blessed night" meaning it possesses much good and blessing due to its merit and the great reward that awaits the one who does good deeds in it. Among its blessings, is that Allaah revealed the Qur'aan in it. Allaah says:
"Verily, We have sent it (the Qur'aan) down in the night of Al-Qadr. And what will make you know what the night of Al-Qadr is? The night of Al-Qadr is better than a thousand months. Therein descend the angels and the Rooh (Jibreel) by their Lord's permission with all decrees. (All that night) there is peace, until the appearance of dawn." [3]
Ibn Katheer (rahimahullaah) said concerning Allaah's saying: "Therein descend the angels and the Rooh": "This means that the descending of the angels increases during this night due to the vast amount of its blessings. And the angels descend along with the descent of blessing and mercy, just as they descend during the time when the Qur'aan is recited and encompass the gatherings in which Allaah is remembered and spread their wings for the true seeker of knowledge, out of respect for him." [4]
This night occurs only in Ramadaan, since Allaah revealed the Qur'aan in it. He informs us that its revelation occurred during the month of Ramadaan in His saying: "Verily, We have sent it (the Qur'aan) down in the night of Al-Qadr." [5]
And His saying: "The month of Ramadaan in which was revealed the Qur'aan" [6]
This means that its revelation from Allaah to His Prophet Muhammad (saws) began in it.
Allaah's statement: "The night of Al-Qadr" is either an indicative of the honor and station of that night, as it is said: "Such and such person has great Qadr". The conjunction of "the night" to Al-Qadr is the joining of a descriptive feature to it, thus making it mean "An honorable night". The word "Al-Qadr" may also be in reference to the ordainment and disposal of affairs. Thus, its being joined to the word "the night" would be in order to denote a place or time for it. So it would mean "the night in which all that will occur in the following year will be decreed." This is similar to Allaah's saying: "Therein (on that night) is decreed every matter of ordainment." [7]
Qataadah said of this: "Therein is decreed every matter for the (upcoming) year" [8] and Ibn Al-Qayyim said that this is the correct opinion. [9]
What seems most correct is that there is nothing that restricts the possibility of these two understandings and Allaah knows best.
His statement: "with Eemaan" means with firm conviction in what Allaah has prepared for those who stand in prayer during this magnificent night. And "seeking reward" means looking for reward and the attainment of recompense.
Thus, this is a grand night, which Allaah has chosen for beginning the revelation of the Qur'aan. So the Muslim must acknowledge its weight in worth, by guarding it and spending it in worship whilst having firm conviction and seeking the reward of Allaah, in order that Allaah may forgive all of his previous sins. This is why the Prophet (saws) warned us about being heedless of this night and being neglectful of spending it in worship, for the Muslim would be prevented from its good.
Abu Hurairah (raa) reported that the Messenger of Allaah (saws) said: "Ramadaan has come to you - a blessed month. Allaah has made it obligatory upon you to fast in it. During this month, the gates of heaven are open, the gates of the Hellfire are closed and the evil devils are chained. To Allaah belongs a night in it, which is better than a thousand months. Whoever is prevented from its good, then he has been deprived." [10]
The Muslim should supplicate much on the nights in which the night of Al-Qadr is sought. And he should supplicate with that which the Prophet (saws) instructed 'Aa'ishah (raa) with, when she asked him: "What if I know on which night the night of Al-Qadr occurs, what should I say?" So he (saws) said: "Say: O Allaah, indeed you are All-Pardoning. You love forgiveness, so forgive me." [11]
Ibn Katheer (rahimahullaah) said: "It is recommended to supplicate a lot at all times and (to supplicate) more than that during the month of Ramadaan, its last ten days and its odd days. And it is highly recommended to increase ones invoking with this supplication: 'O Allaah, indeed you are All-Pardoning. You love forgiveness, so forgive me.'" [12]

Legal Fee
I was unfairly dismissed from my job, twice terminated the case ended up at the industrial court. The result is of course I won. But somehow the term where the award money is to be paid to the lawyer becomes and issue to me now. It's best to forget, but I'd like to learn from mistake. Was it a mistake to accept that term and not paid directly to claimant? At that time I didn't think that much cause that's the kind of thing the lawyer would decide that's best for his/her client. In this case, maybe it was for the best of the lawyer.
Anyway, the money went to the lawyer - at the end of the term. Good. Then after a long wait from the lawyer, i was informed that the lawyer's fee is a staggering amount of RM35000 to be deducted from the award!! And I had to fight for the case the whole way. All the lawyer did was write up a few documents. And they have the cheek to bill me 35k.
During the course of process, i was always advised to settle with whatever they offer. And that was my lawyer's advice when they offered 100k settlement, 2 yrs after the event, and 2 days before the hearing date!! Think about it.
So back to the lawyer's bill, I feel he should just settle at an amicable percentage at 100k. The total award money was more than 60% from the original offer. And it was obtained through my voice. The lawyer was like arm folded during the discussion and was a yes sir or yes maam for this case when facing with the defendant.
The nerve.
Well, the money is with them now so give it to me. Astaghfirullah.

Read after taking your meal
... I went to the plant and wanted to go look at the lines. I ask the engineer for PPEs. Thought of first asking plant manager's permission to enter the lines. Knocked his door. Opened the door. There he was in bed! (?) He smiled, tried to get up, he had lost a lot of weight. His skin is flapping behind him as he tried to sit up. "Saya demam lah. Kena makan ubat. Ubat pun kena makan, ludah dulu kemudian telan balik." Uuggghh. Disgusting. Disgusting creature he is. ...
I woke up feeling very dizzy. Pulled myself together to go pick up Ilham from school.

Personal Account of My Father Zulkifli Abdul Rahman
Then our ship was bombed by the Japanese. That caused a large hole on the ship and ship began to capsize. I was with two other ship personnel - Chinese. They were cooks. We jumped ship, and swam. (13/02/42 M.P.K. SHIP LOSS)
Then we made it into a sampan and got away. We made it to Padang of Sumatera. Then the Japanese found us and we were captured. (True account of HMS Scorpion is that it was attacked by Japanese fighter plane and later sunk by Japanese war ship February 12 1942, a few months after Pearl Harbour, when Japanese made mass attacks on British ships and conquered Asia. This was near the Banka Island near Singapore. Five ship crew survived the hit. Five hours left at sea in the dark the ship Mata Hari saw them and rescued them. Mata Hari anchored at Palembang. They were found by the Japanese and had to surrender. The ship was forced to sail back to Banka Island where most of the people on the ship became Japanese prisoners .)
We were send to Singapore then to Indochina, Vietnam. We were put in a Japanese captain's house. We only followed instruction.
Then directions came for us to be moved to Singapore. We were jailed at Changi jail for two weeks.
We were then released and I was sent to Batu Gajah. We traveled by military truck (possibly after September 1945, after the Japanese surrendered Singapore to the British. He must have served the RMN for at least four years 1941 till 1945.)
There I was directed to the Agricultural Department. Because I was in the military and very disciplined I was appointed Agricultural Officer looking over padi plantings.
There my father married Tun (my mother was Mariah.)
As a step mother, she, Tun, was cruel. We couldn't stand her (my wife was carrying a baby and all) so we moved to Batu Gajah. We stayed with our uncle Sulaiman. It was a small house, a government quarters. I was still with the Agricultural Department.
Then I had Tibi. I was hospitalized at Batu Gajah hospital the only medical facility for Tibi in the whole of Malaysia. I was treated by Dr Phang. I was held there for two years.
Then there was this new Tibi facility in Kuala Lumpur. I was moved there and spent another two years in that hospital. (All in all he spent four years of his life in hospital for Tibi.)
We lived at Jalan Pasar.
(We later lived at Jalan Ipoh, when he was posted at the Depot Pusat Bekalan Tentera. He retired from being a government servant. We moved to Taman Perwira, the house he had lived till today. He continued to work with RRI and later Hong Leong Bank. He resigned at 60.)
(Last June, at 90, he was diagnosed with cancer. He underwent a major surgery to remove the effected area. He recovered extremely well from the major surgery done at the KL General Hospital.)
(28th July, his second daughter, Zunaida, left him after battling Leukemia. It was after lunch 30th July he told us his life story when my son Hazem, his grandson, asked him about his life in the navy.)
In Memory of ....
We arrived at the hospital earlier the afternoon at about 2pm. Sis Jima, Jiha, Kak Asiah, AbaChit, Ana, and Shazlan were there. The sight of her poor condition face was sorrowful. We all greeted each other before I proceeded to close upon arwah. Her eyes was closed shut, her face was spotted with broken blood vessels and she had a O2 tube going into her mouth and plasters were all over her face and head. On top of that, many smaller tubes with antibiotics, pain killer etc from syringe pumps surrounded her. BP and pulse machines were there too. So was a life supporting equipment. She had been laying there under sedative since Sunday.

Islam Question and Answer - Does donating blood invalidate wudoo’?
Can a muslim donate blood, and if so can he read salaah straight after donating blood?
Praise be to Allaah.
If it is necessary to carry out a blood transfusion, there is no sin on the patient, the doctors or the donor, because of the following:
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “… and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind…” [al-Maa’idah 5:32]

Blood Stem Cell Transplants - National Cancer Institute
| Preparing Donors for Allogeneic Transplants |
Blood stem cells are extracted most often from the peripheral blood of donors and occasionally from their bone marrow. Because there are significantly fewer stem cells in peripheral blood than in bone marrow, doctors prepare peripheral blood donors by injecting them with a series of growth factors to move blood stem cells from their marrow into their bloodstream. This increases the blood stem cells concentration 10- to 100-fold in the blood.
If stem cells are harvested from bone marrow, the donor is placed under general anesthesia. In a procedure that takes about an hour, marrow is removed through a large needle inserted into the donor's pelvic bones, and it is processed to remove blood and bone fragments. After the collection is completed, the donor may be given a transfusion of his or her own red blood cells from units of blood that were self-donated a week earlier.
Apheresis: Harvesting Stem Cells From Peripheral Blood |
Nurses harvest blood stem cells from a donor's peripheral blood using a process called apheresis. This process involves removal of whole blood from the donor. As blood is drawn from the donor, circulating stem cells (and sometimes mature immune cells) are extracted. A centrifuge-type machine then separates the components. The blood itself, minus the stem cells, is returned to the donor. Apheresis requires no anesthesia but can take several hours.

My 2nd Complaint to IR
Saya terus menelefon pejabat JPP dan pada petangnya berjumpa dengan Ketua Pengarah JPP perihal kejadian di atas. Beliau meminta saya laporkan perkara ini dengan bertulis menggunakan Borang Aduan.
Latar Belakang Pembuangan Kerja 10.8.2006
Pada 10hb Ogos 2006 jam 8:30 pagi saya telah pergi ke Cryovac untuk melaporkan diri bertugas. Ini adalah menuruti Memorandum Persetujuan (No. rujukan Fail JPP (PAH) SEK 20 184/2006) (Lampiran 5) dan surat Reinstatement (Lampiran 4) yang dipersetujui dalam rundingan Representasi Di Bawah Seksyen 20, Akta Perhubungan Perusahaan 1967 Mengenai Pembuangan Kerja Norazihan Binti Zulkifli Oleh Cryovac (M) Sdn. Bhd. Pada 17.5.2006.
Kehadiran saya dipejabat ditunggu ED Eksekutif dan saya diminta menunggu Service Center Manager di bilik latihan dengan beliau menemani kehadiran saya sepanjang masa.
Jam 8:45 pagi saudari Irene masuk ke bilik latihan itu dan menyerahkan saya satu sampul surat. Saya disuruh buka dan baca surat di dalamnya. Saya dapati surat itu adalah surat Termination (Lampiran 6) bertanda tangan saudara Fairuz Abdullah yang berkuat kuasa pada hari itu juga tanpa notis 60 hari seperti di dalam surat perlantikan jawatan. Saya tidak diberi apa-apa sebab dan berkeputusan meninggalkan premis.
Saya dimaklumkan bahawa tunggakan dua bulan gaji sudahpun dimasukkan ke dalam akaun saya berjumlah RM12,123.25 walaupun tiada slip gaji diberikan. Saya diberikan surat termination (Lampiran 6), diberitahu saudari Irene memang majikan tidak ada niat untuk pemulihan kerja saya, dan di”escort” keluar.
Sejurus kemudian, seorang Pengawal Sekuriti tiba untuk meng”escort” saya keluar. Saya pun meninggalkan premis.
Report for Duty
Pada 7hb Ogos saya menyerahkan cek bagi pembayaran balik wang pampasan seperti yang disediakan (Lampiran 8) melalui seorang wakil. Pada 9hb Ogos saya mendapatkan kepastian bahawa cek sudah ditunaikan juga melalui seorang wakil. Pada 10hb Ogos saya ke Cryovac dengan tujuan melapurkan diri kembali bertugas.
IR Reconciliation Meeting
Pada 2 Ogos 2006 rundingan dijalankan di pejabat JPPP dikendali Ketua Pengarah JPPP Encik August Buma, Cryovac diwakili saudara Fairuz dan saudari Irene, manakala saya hadir seorang. Pegawai representasi JPP mendapati pemberhentian kerja saya telah terjadi secara terpaksa – Forced Resignation. Kemudiannya saya diberitahu majikan akan mengambil balik kerja dengan tiada apa-apa kerugian dengan syarat. Syaratnya ialah saya perlu pulangkan semua wang pampasan yang telah saya terima untuk membolehkan saya mula bekerja dan majikan akan membayar balik 2 bulan gaji yang sudah tertunggak. Saya akur kepada keputusan JPP. Majikan mengeluarkan surat tawaran Reinstatement (Lampiran 4) dan juga Memorandum Persetujuan yang telah mereka sediakan. Kami menyemak kedua-duanya dan surat Reinstatement saya terima dan Memorandum Persetujuan (No. rujukan Fail JPP (PAH) SEK 20 184/2006) (Lampiran 5) ditanda tangani semua pihak.
My IR Complaint
Saya menerima wang pampasan yang dijanjikan beberapa hari selepas itu dengan jumlah RM111,160.02. Jumlah RM1,000 tertunggak seperti dinyatakan dalam slip gaji bulan Mei 2006 (Lampiran 10) bagi cagaran sementara untuk apa-apa saman kereta sekiranya ada.
Pada 14hb Julai 2006 saya membuat aduan ke Jabatan Perhubungan Perusahaan Pahang (JPPP) mengenai penganiayaan yang telah berlaku keatas diri saya oleh majikan saya. Pada 22 Julai 2006 saya menerima surat penerimaan JPPP bagi Representasi Di Bawah Seksyen 20, Akta Perhubungan Perusahaan 1967 Mengenai Pembuangan Kerja Norazihan Binti Zulkifli Oleh Cryovac (M) Sdn. Bhd. Pada 17.5.2006 (number rujukan Bil(2)dlm.PPP.PHG.SEK20 184/2006)
Latar Belakang Pembuangan Kerja 17.5.2006
Ketua Pengarah, Jabatan Perhubungan Perusahaan, (Kementerian Sumber Manusia), Tingkat 7, Wisma Persekutuan, 25532 Kuantan, Pahang Darul Makmur on the 16.8.2006
Pada 16hb Mei 2006 jam 4 petang saya dipanggil ke pejabat Pengurus Kilang semasa itu iaitu saudara Fairuz. Beliau memberitahu saya, berhubung dengan restructuring, jawatan saya (Quality Assurance Manager) adalah tidak diperlukan dan perkhidmatan saya juga adalah tidak diperlukan lagi. Beliau menyuruh samada saya menamatkan perkhidmatan saya dengan meletakkan jawatan (resign) dengan menerima wang hadiah 1 x Gaji Kasar x Tahun Perkhidmatan atau diberhentikan dengan tiada apa-apa pampasan. Dengan cara diberhentikan saya juga tidak akan menerima referral yang baik sekiranya diminta oleh mana-mana organisasi. Saya meminta untuk memberi keputusan keesokan harinya kerana perlu merujuk kepada yang lebih arif dalam hal seperti ini.
Keesokan harinya 17hb Mei 2006 jam 4 petang saya sekali lagi dipanggil saudara Fairuz. Beliau bertanyakan keputusan saya. Saya menyatakan sedia meletakkan jawatan dengan pampasan Ringgit Malaysia Setengah Juta dan menjelaskan butiran keatas tuntutan saya itu seperti yang telah saya tulis pada draf surat perletakan jawatan saya (Lampiran 1.) Beliau tidak bersetuju dan minta melihat surat tersebut. Saya menunjukkan surat saya itu. Beliau tidak bersetuju kerana katanya pampasan yang beliau sedia tawar adalah bukan seperti pampasan “VSS” yang biasa. Beliau mengeluarkan dua surat yang siap beliau tanda tangani dan menyuruh saya pilih. Satu surat ialah surat Termination dengan tiada pampasan dan satu lagi surat ialah acceptance of Resignation (Lampiran 2.) Saya minta untuk merujuk kedua-dua surat kepada orang yang lebih arif. Beliau tidak membenarkan. Beliau suruh saya pilih.
Dengan tiada pilihan lagi saya memilih Resignation kerana pada masa itu, cara itu adalah pilihan yang terbaik buat saya. Saya merunding untuk pampasan yang lebih dan beliau setuju setakat 1.2 x Gaji Kasar x Tahun Perkhidmatan. Dengan itu jumlah pampasan adalah RM102,228.00 (Lihat Lampiran 9 untuk slip gaji terakhir sebelum pembuangan kerja iaitu bagi bulan April 2006.) Bayaran lain-lain seperti bayaran cuti dan bonus tahunan akan dikumpulkan dengan gaji penuh Mei 2006 (seperti slip gaji bulan Mei 2006 Lampiran 10.)
Seterusnya, beliau menyatakan oleh kerana bunyi draf surat perletakan jawatan saya tidak selaras dengan bunyi surat acceptance of Resignation nya beliau menyuruh saya menulis surat perletakan jawatan yang lain yang lebih standard. Saya meminta pen dan kertas dan menulis surat yang diperlukan. Surat itu beliau terima pakai walaupun ianya ditulis tangan (doctor’s handwriting) dengan ringkasnya. Saya disuruh menyerah kembali apa-apa barang/dokumen syarikat dan saya diescort EHS Coordinator keluar.
