"Management tak memahami staff..saya tak dapat datang kerja sebab hantar mertua ke KL" jawab staff aku bila di suruh sign warning letter.
"Ok.." jawab aku selamba, padahal yang aku tahu dia tak masuk kerja sebab pergi makan angin kat KL dan bini dia tak bagi balik.
"Saya tak pernah MC dan bila saya tak datang kerja, saya call office bagitau" tambah dia lagi.
"Ehemm..ok" aku mengangguk
Dia diam berdiri depan meja aku

"OK..saya dah dengar alasan awak..so awak sign warning letter sekarang" aku jawab

Dia masih lagi berdiri tegak depan aku. Aku tunggu apa lagi yang dia nak cakap.

" Saya sebenarnya hari tu demam panas cik Lan.." tiba-tiba dia pusing cerita

Aku rasa nak tergelak tapi aku tahan gak dalam hati. Budak ni dia punya drama boleh tahan gak...

Mengintai UMNO dari belakang

2009-03-09T09:09:00.000+08:00

Semalam kebetulan ada majlis Pemuda UMNO untuk mereka memperkenalkan calon-calon Pemuda UMNO untuk pemilihan Parti di Pulau Pinang. Banyak sungguh menu yang diorang sediakan untuk ahli-ahli makan tengahari. Banyak juga kereta-kereta besar di tempat letak kereta. Ada juga ambulan yang di sediakan, mungkin takut ada pengsan atau yang berdarah..entahlah apa sebab ambulan itu ada sebab aku tengok yang hadir semuanya nampak `sihat'.

Aku berdiri di bahagian belakang dewan seorang diri sambil memerhatikan sekumpulan pemuda bertocang dan berseluar jeans yang berdiri di sebelah. Reaksi mereka selamba tidak seperti kumpulan lelaki yang agak berumur di depan yang dari tadi tidak duduk diam menepuk tangan apabila calon pilihan mereka di umumkan.

Di atas pentas, 3 barisan kerusi di atur dan di penuhi dengan calon-calon yang menaruh harapan tinggi. Di barisan hadapan aku lihat ada Mukhriz,Khairi dan Khir Toyo dan 2-3 orang yang tidak berapa aku kenali (mungkin jarang keluar di TV). Mukhriz, anak Tun Mahathir agak tenang di kerusi. Ada karisma dan walau pandangannya dan pendapatnya agak kontroversi, semakin ramai yang bersetuju dengan dia. Disebelahnya Khairi, juga tenang dan tersenyum. Ada bakat, ahli korporat yang berjaya tetapi agak kontoversi dengan `tingkat 4'. Khir Toyo di sebelahnya, berkarisma dan berpengalaman. Di halau waktu malam dari kediaman rasmi bila PKR menang di Selangor. Dia mengistiharkan `perang' ke atas kerajaan PKR di selangor sejak hari itu. Tapi wajahnya tidak `mesra' pada pandangan aku.

Kumpulan pemuda bertocang di sebelah aku masih lagi tidak memberi reaksi apa-apa. Mungkin hanya datang untuk makan..entah lah...

Aku lihat dan dengar yang tepukan kepada Mukriz agak lebih kuat,lebih lama dan lebih padat. Kita tunggu sajalah keputusannya nanti

Question and Answer of Jew Faith and Believe

2009-01-30T16:15:00.000+08:00

Q: Why don't Jews believe Jesus was the Messiah? Aren't the proofs convincing?
A: This is a sensitive issue, and it is hoped that no one will be offended by the candid answer provided here.

We do not believe that it is prophesied that the Messiah will be crucified. We do not believe that the Messiah will be the son of G-d. We do not believe that he will be raised from the dead any more than anyone else. We do not believe that he will appear twice, in what some Christians call a second coming. We do not believe that the Messiah will be our "savior" in the sense that he will redeem us from our sins.

These are all fascinating claims to make concerning anyone, but they are all irrelevant to the Messiah for whom the Jews have awaited these three thousand years. None of these things are prophesied in the Jewish Bible.

What then is this Messiah for whom we wait? The Messiah will be a mortal man, born of a normal man and woman. He will be of the undisputed scion of David through his father. He will become uncontested ruler in the Land of Israel over all the People of Israel, that is, all Twelve Tribes of Israel. He will have at least one son, who will be king after the Messiah dies a normal death at an advanced age.

He will be as described by the Prophet Isaiah (Isaiah 11:2-4): "full of wisdom and understanding, counsel and might, knowledge and the fear of G-d . . . he will smite the tyrant with the rod of his mouth, and slay the wicked with the breath of his lips . . ." (Maimonides explains this last as merely a parable, and not to be taken literally.)

Still, the Messiah will primarily be a prince of peace. As it says (Isaiah 52:7) "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the messenger who announces peace."

The Messiah will bring an end to all suffering and war. He will rescue the Children of Israel from exile. He will teach the world how to revere truth, and they will all return to G-d (though not necessarily to Judaism). All forms of warfare will be abolished.

The Torah will be strengthened by the teachings and practices of the Messiah. It will not be weakened nor changed in the slightest.

The Jews will no longer be subjugated nor oppressed by other nations. (In fact, there will be no oppression or subjugation anywhere in the world, by anyone against anyone.) The Jews will be free in the Land of Israel. We will have the Holy Temple once again. We will have the full body of the Law restored by the full Sanhedrin and all lesser courts. And the Messiah will do all this on his first try. Indeed, this is how we will know he is the Messiah.

It will be through these signs that he will be recognized. It will not be through miracles, nor through resurrection of the dead, nor through any new creation. It will be through the total Redemption we will undergo (as described in brief above) that we will know the Messiah. And in truth, it is not for the Messiah that we eagerly wait, but for the Redemption itself. The Messiah is merely G-d's messenger and vehicle for that Redemption.

The man the Christians worship may have been a good person, and he may have taught many good things. (Although I hasten to point out that there are many teachings in the Christian Bible that are completely unacceptable to Orthodox Jews, and incompatible to the teachings of the Torah.) But he was not the Messiah for whom we await and have long awaited. He may have been crucified, and that's a horrible thing. But that merely proves to us that he was not the Messiah.

He was not the son of G-d any more than we all are; precisely no more or less. The very thought is repugnant to a Jewish person. G-d having a son in that manner? We shudder at the suggestion.

Nor do we believe he was resurrected. But even if he was, that would not make him the Messiah.

All this that is claimed about Jesus is irrelevant. It has nothing to do with the Messiah. There will indeed, come a time when all the dead will be resurrected, but not at the time of the Messiah's coming. That will be later. Much later. (You can read about that here.)

The Jewish faith has no place for most of the Christian Messiah beliefs. Nor is there any way to reconcile Jesus with the Jewish concept of the Messiah. The two concepts have very little in common.

We still await the Messiah, and our faith is still strong.
