Royal tells JUDICIARY to buck up

Date: October 29 2007
Event: 14th Malaysian Law Conference
Venue: Sumwhere in Key Ell ( lol - dun know )

Hear Hear

His Royal Majesty acknowledges dat dere has been some degree of 'disquiet' over da state of the judiciary in da recent years n HRH urges da judges to discharge their duties 'impartially, confidently, and competently.'

SULTAN AZLAN SPEAKS OUT:

ON THE JUDICIARY

1) "Sadly, I must acknowledge there has been some disquiet about our judiciary over the past few years and in the more recent past."

2) "There is no reason why judges with the assured security of tenure they enjoy under the Constitution should not discharge their duties impartially, confidently, and competently.'

3) "In these days, judges must be ever mindful that the loss of independence can come from many sources, and not just from the executive. Therefore, judges must piously resist the lure of socialising with business personages and other well-connected people. They may discover at their peril that they have compromised themselves in the cases that come before them with the unedifying spectable of recusal applications."

4) "Nothing destroys more the confidence of the general public, or the business community, has in the judiciary than the belief that the judge was biased when he decided a case, or what the judge would not be independent where powerful individuals or corporations are litigants before him. Judges in Malaysia must be ever mindful that they are appointed judges for all Malaysians. They must be sensitive to the feelings of all parties, irrespective of race, religion, or creed, and be careful not to bring a predisposed mind to an issue before them that is capable of being misconstrued by the watching public or segments of them."

ON LAWYERS

1) "The Bar and its leadership must ensure there is a high standard of integrity and ethics among its members. A Bar that is riddled with bad practices cannot assist the administration of justice."

2) "Judges are supposed to be no respecters of persons who appear before them. This rule applies not only to litigants but also to lawyers. It's not just a matter of prudence and good practice, but fundamentally one of ethics."

3) "There have been allegations againts some lawyers that in clear dereliction of their responsibilities, that have either misled the courts, or attempted to choose the judges or courts for their cases to be heard so as to obtain a favourable decision in their client's favour. This is a serius interference with the administration of justice and the process of the court."



FINALLY THE CONCERNS HAVE SPOKEN

xxx

Thot of D Week ...

Funny yet motivating ...

p/s: sumtimes all u need is juz a laugh to put all ur sorrow away

xxx monday blues starts kicking off xxx

An enduring wait ...

Its da eleventh day of Eid

I dun think dat my late entry post is bcuz of Eid. Not either becuz of skewl break (obviously laaa kan) but its mainly because I've to roll up my sleeves with work and @ da same time; planning sumting huge 4 next year 2 happen

Please dun ask

Loads of me mates keep on telling me - it must be gud 2 b back home celebrating da festive season wif family n frens. Its gonna be da first celebration after four years abroad. A reasonable mind wud think its gonna be a blast. Yeah, including me. I cudn't lie 2 myself by saying 'i'm not looking 4 ward 2 eid' in Mesia. Infact, me was anxiously n wondrously waiting cuz it was da last hope i had 2 heal my relationship wif family ( u mite have known dat me n me family weren't in 'feel gud' state eversince I landed myself home.

n I am profusely teaching myself dat "things were far better when I was away" Again, I'm not blaming, either not whining but I just realising and experiencing.

So, Eid aka Hari Raya means a lot 2 me. In it, lies my biggest dream - stays my remaining hope and carries my most meaningful mission i.e to patch things up wif da person(s) I love, da one(s) dat I care.

But 1st Syawal saw my dreams, hope and mission fallen apart.Shattered into small pieces of dust ... leaving me hopeless and stop thinking bout others (after learning they think less bout me)

Me dad scolded me just bcuz I didn't go 4 Eid prayers (da muslims shud know its not compulsory although wud be perfect shud one performs it) but its not dat I didn't want 2 go. I was extremely tired n exhausted due 2 a big turnover in my life - got up from bed @ 0600 just 2 get an early train 2 work. n da whole universe knows dat I'm not a morning person. even how much I tried.

So I was really 'shut down' dat day. My heads spins as I cud see da spinning stars circling infront of my eyes. n I never escape Eid prayers since da age of 13 till now.

But all I had was just a scold on da very blessful morning

WAT A BAD START !!!

Then later in da evening, everything just went wrong

My mum explicitly disagrees wif my plan next year. We quarelled (again) n da whole chaos invited my brother joining on my mum n started bombarding me ( sumhow I do feel dat he always look forward 2 da chance ... dere he goes )

N dat's not enough. Mum opened da discussion 2 my cousins and she definitely roasts my nuts for dinner dat evening.

IMAGINE - I was sitting alone in da middle - surrounded by mum, 2 brothers , 2 cousings justifying why I really wish to go back to da UK again (pursuing studies = working quite sumwhile)

DO U HAVE ANY IDEA HOW ASHAMED I WAS?

Why Mum has 2 involve my cousins since dis is just within family matters (n I know 4 da fact dat she rarely likes my cousins for various reasons) Watever da prob is, never n ever invite outsiders even we truly positive dat those outsiders were acting in gud faith who claimed he/she has no personal interest watsoeva

YEAH, U RE RITE!!!

HOW CAN THEY DO DIS TO ME?

On da 1st evening of Eid. Da moment I've been waiting for 4 bloody years..

which too me to think, starting from dat day:-

- 2 stop hoping

- 2 stop thinking bout others

- 2 realise dat Eid in da UK is fare more better than wif families @ ur home country

- 2 prove dat if I'm engaging sumting gud, God will always test me

- 2 be determined cuz I got to do@go wats da best 4 me

still, I cudnt hide da misery I had inside. Dis mite be da only Eid I had back home (who knows) n dis is da price I've got after years of waiting

but all in all,

I'll face all da obstacles wif strength n bravery cuz deeply I know - "DA REASON WHY ZOKHRI IDRIS STILL LIVING IS BECAUSE HE IS STILL FIGHTING"

Selamat Hari Raya to all.

Dalam Dingin Subuh Hatiku Terusik ...

Feelings: Feelingless

Currently listening: Suasana Hari Raya by Anuar Zain n Elina (when they were still kids)

In just a few moments, da Muslims all around da globe shall be celebrating da Eidul Fitr festive season.

To sum, its da most awaiting moment

To sum, its gonna be a niu experience wif niu looks

To sum, its da exciting time away from works n skewls.

But as for me, dere's nothing I really look forward to. In fact, dere's sumting I really missed about - da gud ol days where I had my Eid whilst studying, How I missed dat time.

Truth 2 b told, I had da nicest eid ever (so far) in da UK bcuz:

Being far away from home n family, doesn't make me feel lonely

Being a minority on da land whereby Protestant is dominant, doesn't make me feel excluded

Even wif no hols n classes still running, da celebration wud never be less merrier.

As 4 dat, I thank God 4 giving me da memory which I shall be 4ever cherished. Im praying hard now dat He'll grant me da 2nd chance 4 me to truly feel it one more time. JUST ONCE !!!

Dear angels,
I know I've been wasting my fasting month. I even sumtimes missed me prayers n I know I din worship Him much but please send me prayers 2 God, so dat He'll make my wish comes true 1 more time.

Dearest all fellow readers n frens,
Asignofthecreator wud like 2 wish u a "Selamat Menyambut Hari Lebaran dan Maaf Zahir dan Batin." Semoga dgn kedatangan Syawal kali ini benar2 menginsafkan kita. It has been two days I've been receiving tonnes of Eid wishes mobile text. I ve replied sum but still many queing waiting 2 be responded. Please accept my appreciation as Im truly glad to learn ur simple thot as it is always be da sayings dat 'da thot dat counts'. I'll try to get my mobile phone sorted out (dia pun puasa gak dowh) asap n resume replying ur text

P/S: Since Im yet 2 receive my 1st salary, I still be exempted under 'org yg layak memberi duit raya' rule. LOL So, sorry kids, next year yah?

Salam lebaran (dun know how to put it in English tho) -grins-,

Eid Muabrak = No Fasting,
No fasting = No Bazaar Ramadhan



No fasting = No Bazaar Ramadhan



No Bazaar Ramadhan = No motivation 2 Eat

No Motivation 2 Eat = Kurus = Slim = Save Budget

Kurus + Save Budget = HAPPY?????

Laughter is da best medicine ....

Sorry for disappearing. Me already got a job now and da hanky-panky lifestyle of mine had to be paused a litt' while. No more wakie-wakie in da noon, no more tele nor astro, no more hang-outs wif mates at starbucks (ey siang beta puasa tau) . and I must say, working life is totally a boredom.

S-H-A-M-E

Hence, while I was idling at da office today (nasib baik x kantoiii), da fate has brought me to aliaroxic's blog which can be found at (aliaroxic.livejournal.com). Granted, my memory flashes back to da day when we were working our a**es together in MSLS 07. Alia Sidek shared a true story which happened to her brother's fiance (as she then was) whilst we were having tea in da evening (luckily our boss WMF didnt see)

So, dis is how da story goes:



THE ENGLISH TOUCH

Future Groom (FG): Hi X, me and XX gonna wed soon

X (bukan nama sebenar): O Really (wif her brits accent) ?!?! Congratulations and may God bless both of u everlastingly.

Future Bride (FB): Thank you, Mind joining our reception?

X : Definitely. Wud love to. When and whereabout?

(FG): Date: .................................. (private n confidential)
Venue: ............................... (bla bla bla)

X (in an astonishing mode): Owh, I'm afraid I cant make it due to an earlier commitment. I'm
terribly sorry.

FB: Dats shame. We really hope u can make it.

X (wif her long-guilty-face) : I am so sorry

FG: naaaaaaaaaaaa its ok. We totally understand

X : Again, please accept my apology. I seriously mean it.

FG : Naaaaaaaaaa no worries dear. U can always come to my second one

FB : Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (grumpily)




THE MALAY VERSION
(Narrated by Nina, da happening mistress-planner 4 birthday treats)


Everytime Nona (not a real name) returns to her hometown, she'll never escape from being ambushed with such an annoying question - "na, biler ko nak naik pelamin plak?" and she profusely (wif a really nice mellowing polite note) - "insyaAllah ada jodoh naiklah saya. doakan jer laaa" but deep inside her heart, her devilish voice screams - "suka ati aku laaaaa nak kawin ke tak, yg ko busy body* nie ape kes?"

But one day, she cudnt take it anymore. She just 'bloated' up

Lets hear da story:

Nana: Eh Nona, Never seen u for ages

Nona: I've been bz wif uni

Nana: So its ur sista getting married yah

Nona: Yeah, it seems so (reluctantly aka dah tahu tanye lagi)

Nana: Waaaaaa how lengaaaaa (its kantonese) . Sumer family ko dah naik pelamin. Tinggal
ko sorang jerh.

Nona: ha ah camtue laaaaaaa gamaknyer (durrrrrrrrr - her temperature starts to raise)

Nana: HAAAAA !! Ko nie biler plak nak kawinn? (sarcastically)

Nona: Ermmm lepas kenduri ko aku kawin laaaaaaa (boiling)

Nana: Eh kan aku dah kawin 2 bulan lepas. Honeymoon pun tak abis lagi. tgk inai kat tangan

Nona: Ada aku kata kenduri kawin ker? (steaming)

Nana: Abis tue kenduri ape? (buat2 fenin)

Nona: Aku tak sampai ati nak cakap (matilaaaaa ko nanaaaaaaaaaa)

Nana: Alaaaaaa cakaplaaa cakaplaaa (excited giler punyer mode)

Nona: KENDURI ARWAH KO**!!!!!!! (blasted)

Nana: Gulp......... x pelah na, aku beransur dulu laaa ye

Nona: Haaaaaa elok laaa tue. karang x pasal2 besok pulak kendurinya..
