Tan Seri George W Bush

Our Melaka CM is surely going to lose a lot of nominations for Umno veep, since his state nominated Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan for a datukship. Questions flying all around the press, the coffee shops, the fish markets.. what has he done for Melaka to deserve that ? Bet he does'nt even know what a 'Datuk' title is. Melaka CM's answer - Shahrukh helped put Melaka on the tourist map, by shooting some scenes of Melaka in his movies. Maybe the answer could be that some smittened Mak Datin insisted on it ? Amitab Bachan would make a more distinguished Datuk, don't you think so ? Hey, since we like to show our appreciation by honoring foreigners, I think the govt should consider confering an award to this foreign leader who's retiring next month. I'm talking about George W.Bush the out-going president of the United States. Why, because the USA is Malaysia's biggest trading partner. Malaysians love watching American movies, playing and listening to American music, reading American books and comic books. Some of our young people already speak like Americans (just tune in to Hitz FM, Fly FM, the TV presenters, anybody not schooling in a Malaysian school). Not to forget, the little kids favorite snacks KFC,MacDonalds, Pizza Hut, Starbucks and other US food & beverage franchises. Yes we are, like it or not, greatly influenced by the Americans. Yes, we should honor George W.Bush with at least a Tan Seri. Happy retirement Tan Seri George W. Bush.

In Memory of Mak

Among us brothers and sisters, there are two significant days in the year which we will never forget. That is 11th of August, and 7th of October. 11th of August is our late father's birthdate. 7th of October, which is today is our late mother's birthdate. (She would have turned 83 today). I would like to share with you, these words of love from her children, in remembering this special day : From 7th child (6th son) Fajar : I love you Mak from deep down in my heart (our hearts). We love you Mak. Al Fatihah.. From 3rd child (3rd son) Maher : She sees in me like no other sees me, knows me like no others know me. All of us has a special place in her heart as she is in ours. May Allah bless my mother Hajjah Haniffa bt Hamad Abdul Azyze and may He keep her safe at all times. Al Fatihah.... From 5th child (1st daughter) Jeniffa : Al Fatihah... for the dearest, sweetest, kindest soul, our beautiful Mak. From 6th child (5th son) Izron : With only ALLAH's consent we live till this day 7th October 2008. We are able to remember that today the QUEEN of all our hearts was born. How did we serve her when she was around is what that counts. How much are we now helping her with prayers and deeds to keep her at ease while in Eternity, that counts too. The Queen of all our hearts will never fade even until we meet our fate. May her soul be blessed and in peace. Al-Fatihah........ I feel that there are not enough words to express how much we all love and miss her. Al Fatihah ... to Mak and Bapak and also Abang. From 8th and youngest child (2nd daughter) Helinna : Words (like you say) cannot do justice.I miss Mak, her face, her touch, her smile, her kindness, Al Fatihah......... (Will update if there are more messages).
