[kemaskini jam 8.00 malam]
Al Fatihah.
Pak Samad telah kembali ke rahmatullah pada jam 5.58 petang tadi di Hospital Pantai Kuala Lumpur. Jenazah Allahyarham akan dibawa pulang ke rumahnya di No 2 Jalan 16/7C, Petaling Jaya dan akan dikebumikan pada hari esok, selepas solat Jumaat.
Semoga Allah SWT mencucuri rahmat ke atas roh Allahyarham.
—————————————————————————————
Perkhabaran diterima memaklumkan Tan Sri A. Samad Ismail kini sedang tenat.
Ahad lalu, saya, Azizah, Izzah dan Shahrir sempat menziarahi beliau yang kini sedang terlantar di Hospital Pantai. Sabelum daripada itu, sahabat beliau, Dr. Syed Husin Ali turut meluangkan masa melawatnya.
Jika disorot kembali sejarah era penjajahan, tidak boleh dinafikan sama sekali perjuangan beliau menentang penjajahan Jepun dan British melalui Kesatuan Melayu Muda, disusuli peranan beliau mendrafkan Perlembagaan Rakyat bersama-sama Pak Sako dan Ahmad Boestamam.
Saya mendoakan agar beliau terus dikurniakan kekuatan oleh Allah SWT untuk melawan penyakit. Buat keluarga Pak Samad, diharapkan terus cekal memanjatkan doa ke hadrat Ilahi. Semoga barakah Ramadhan ini membuahkan kerahmatan buat semua.
ANWAR IBRAHIM

Ya Allah, rahmatMu jua kami pohonkan, Engkau berikanlah kekuatan kepada Ayahanda Pak Samad untuk melawan penyakitnya. Sesungguhnya Ya Allah, hanya kepadaMu kami berserah, dan hanya kepadaMu kami memohon pertolongan. Ameen.
Saya dengan ikhlas hati mendoakan kesihatan YBHG Tan Sri A. Samad Ismail, semoga beliau sembuh dan diberikan kesihatan yang baik dari Allah S.W.T. Amin
Semoga Pak Samad tenang… insyaallah… . Ini juga pejuang yang dicerca kerana menegakkan kebenaran cuma tidaklah seteruk sebagaimana DSAI lalui namun mereka ini juga pejuang sebenar.

Saudara Binder Singh,
Tolong faham sedikit adat istiadat kaum Muslimin seantero dunia ini. Apabila seseorang makhluk Allah(Tuhanku)kembali kerahmatullah ini bukan perkara olok-olok tapi jadi satu “mandatory” langkah untuk menghormati Rohnya yang kembali kepada Maker nya. Understand? Jika kau meningal dunia, apa hal jika kami semua keluar kata-kata kesat seperti ” Biarlah dia mampus”. Ini bukan soal plitik, tapi peri kemanusiaan. You bukan manusia kah? Binatang pun sayan kepada jenisnya.Apatah lagi kau. Dari manakah kau exist? Lain planet kut? Understand, you imbecile?

Yes we are all God’s creation and children of Adam and Eve (Tok Adam and Hawa…I am sure our evolution is found n your sacred Holy scriptures and revered Guru Nanak… I also read a lot of other religious holy books to understand better of our diversified brethren in this multiracial beloved God given and blessed country)and only separated by beliefs and religion is a true guideand I’m sure people of kalistan would also honor with great respect their beloved patriot!
Think brother,Bahadur!Be kind to your other beloved and God creations including germs and viruses and also our dumb friends..animals and I love very much my German Shepherd and considred him as part of our family!I am truly ashamae of such a remark coming from a learned person like you..no! even kampung folks are kinder and compassionate in their words and deeds!!!!

Ya Allah,
Hanya Engkau yang lebih mengetahui. Jika baik untuk dia terus menyambung hayat, Kau sihatkan dia. Sekiranya baik untuk dia dimatikan, segerakan agar dia tidak terus tersiksa; di bumi dia tidak jejak, ke langit juga tidak kesampaian.
Bagi setiap insan beriman di umur lewat sebegini; dia berada dalam tawanan-Mu. Dia kembali ke zaman kanak-kanak yang tiada dosa apa-apa lagi. Segala dosanya telah Engkau hapuskan. Jika itu benar buat batang tubuh Pak Samad, aku hanya mampu panjatkan kesyukuran yang tidak terhingga.

No doubt Tan Sri has contributed tremendously to the development of Malaya. Lets pray that Allah will continue to grant him good health.
My prayers are with u and your family too. May Allah continue to grant His blessings and strength to fight for a new Malaysia.
Lawan Tetap Lawan
doakanlah setakat yang tmampu dari kita yang saudara seislam dgn Tan Sri..
amin..
Salam DSAI,
Semasa masih merokok, saya selalu jugak jadi teman hisap rokok dengan Pak Samad. Banyak cerita beliau, kami mendengar sambil melihat asap rokok berkepul-kepul. Ada jugak diceritakan tentang DSAI, masa itu masih merengkok di dalam. Pak Samad cuma ada good words for DSAI. Tentu dia gembira kalau tahu DSAI rajin menjuenguk semasa beliau sedang tenat sekarang ini.
Saya mendoakan semoga sdra A.Samad Ismail cepat sembuh. A.Samad Ismail sebenarnya adalah aset kepada negara Malaysia yang tidak dapat dilupakan budi dan jasanya sebagai seorang sasterawan negara. Doa saya semoga beliau cepat sembuh dari penyakitnya.
Mari lah kita berdoa kepada ALLAH semoga Tan Sri di beri kekuatan dan kepada keluarga beliau harap tabah dan bersabar menghadapi dugaan ini. A SAMAD ISMAIL was an inpiration to me as a kampong boy 55 years ago.Every time reading any news regarding him,especially now, hati saya pasti tersentuh hiba dan mata saya pasti berair mengenangkan bahawa sesungguh nya Pak Samad ini banyak meninggalkan kesan dalam perjalanan hidup ini dan saya yakin mungkin ramai yang hanya mengenali beliau dari jauh seperti saya. Ya ALLAH kau selamatkan lah keluarga beliau dunia dan akhirat.
Doa untuk beliau semoga cepat sembuh dan dikurniakan kesihatan yang baik.
Semoga Tan Sri A. Samad Ismail cepat sembuh…..amin.
Mari kita doakan kesihatan Pak Samad.
Pak Samad seorang yang berani. Lebih berani dari pemimpin UMNO yang ada sekarang ni.
Beliau juga berani menziarahi DSAI di Bukit Damansara selepas DSAI dipecat.
Yang tak berani Datin Paduka Marina Yusof. Berani sekerat jalan.
Dan ditipu bulat-bulat oleh TUN MADIR kononnya kerajaan sedia membantu dgn menyewa BANGUNAN MARINARA. (Sampai sekarang kosong)
Yang sentiasa ditipu lagi oleh Tun MADIR ialah KU LI.
Ya Allah,ringankanlah bebanan Ayahanda kami ini.Kasihanilah ia.Berkati lah serta rahmati lah ia.
Tabahkan lah hatinya dengan zikirullah.Semoga ia kembali sembuh sebaik mungkin.
Alfatihah…dikabarkan TanSri telah pon menghembuskan nafas terakhir pada pukul 6:35ptg di Pusat Perubatan Pantai kerana jangkitan paru-paru dan kegagalan buah pinggang.
Semuga Allah menempatkan beliau dikalangan org2 yg beriman. Amin

sama2 kita mendoakan kesihatan beliau…
Sorry for digressing…
Saudara Anwar, berkenaan dgn isu Saudara Zulkifli, I hope and pray Parti Keadilan will drop all actions against Saudara Zukifli. He was merely exercising his duty as a Muslim during that controversial Bar council forum and nothing to do with the party.

How the Chicago Boyz Wrecked the Economy: An Interview with Michael Hudson
Economic Policy
by Mike Whitney | September 2, 2008 - 1:58pm
Mike Whitney: The United States current account deficit is roughly $700 billion. That is enough “borrowed” capital to pay the yearly $120 billion cost of the war in Iraq, the entire $450 billion Pentagon budget, and Bush’s tax cuts for the rich. Why does the rest of the world keep financing America’s militarism via the current account deficit or is it just the unavoidable consequence of currency deregulation, “dollar hegemony” and globalization?
Michael Hudson: As I explained in Super Imperialism, central banks in other countries buy dollars not because they think dollar assets are a “good buy,” but because if they did NOT recycle their trade surpluses and U.S. buyout spending and military spending by buying U.S. Treasury, Fannie Mae and other bonds, their currencies would rise against the dollar. This would price their exporters out of dollarized world markets. So the United States can spend money and get a free ride.
The solution is (1) capital controls to block further dollar receipts, (2) floating tariffs against imports from dollarized economies, (3) buyouts of U.S. investments in dollar-recipient countries (so that Europe and Asia would use their central bank dollars to buy out U.S. private investments at book value), (4) subsidized exports to dollarized economies with depreciating currency, and similar responses that the United States would adopt if it were in the position of a payments-surplus country. In other words, Europe and Asia would treat the United States as its Washington Consensus boys treat Third World debtors: buy out their raw materials and other industries, their export plantations, and their governments.
MW: Economist Henry Liu said in his article “Dollar hegemony enables the US to own indirectly but essentially the entire global economy by requiring its wealth to be denominated in fiat dollars that the US can print at will with little in the way of monetary penalties…..World trade is now a game in which the US produces fiat dollars of uncertain exchange value and zero intrinsic value, and the rest of the world produces goods and services that fiat dollars can buy at “market prices” quoted in dollars.” Is Liu overstating the case or have the Federal Reserve and western banking elites really figured out how to maintain imperial control over the global economy simply by ensuring that most energy, commodities, and manufactured goods are denominated in dollars? If that’s the case, then it would seem that the actual “face-value” of the dollar does not matter as much as long as it continues to be used in the purchase of commodities. Is this right?
Michael Hudson: Henry Liu and I have been discussing this for many years now. We are in full agreement. The paragraph you quote is quite right. His Asia Times articles provide a running analysis of dollar hegemony.
MW: What is the relationship between stagnant wages for workers and the current credit crisis? If workers wages had kept up with the rate of production, isn’t it less likely that we would be in the jam we are today? And, if that is true, than shouldn’t we be more focused on re-unionizing the labor force instead looking for solutions from the pathetic Democratic Party?
Michael Hudson: The credit crisis derives from “the magic of compound interest,” that is, the tendency of debts to keep on doubling and redoubling. Every rate of interest is a doubling time. No “real” economy’s production and economic surplus can keep up with this tendency of debt to grow faster. So the financial crisis would have occurred regardless of wage levels.
Quite simply, the price of home ownership tends to absorb all the disposable personal income of the homebuyer. So if wages would have risen more rapidly, the price of housing would simply have risen faster as employees pledged more take-home pay to carry larger mortgages. Stagnant wages merely helped keep down the price of houses to merely stratospheric levels, not ionospheric ones.
As for labor unions, they haven’t been any help at all in solving the housing crisis. In Germany where I am right now, unions have sponsored co-ops, as they used to do in New York City, at low membership costs. So housing costs only absorb about 20% of German family budgets, compared to twice that for the United States. Imagine what could be done if pension funds had put their money into housing for their contributors, instead of into the stock market to buy and bid up prices for the stocks that CEOs and other insiders were selling.
MW: When politicians or members of the foreign policy establishment talk about “integrating” Russia or China into the “international system”; what exactly do they mean? Do they mean the dollar-dominated system which is governed by the Fed, the World Bank, the IMF, and the WTO? Do countries compromise their national sovereignty when they participate in the US-led economic system?
Michael Hudson: By “integrating” they mean absorbing, something like a parasite integrating a host into its own control system. They mean that other countries will be prohibited under WTO and IMF rules from getting rich in the way that the United States got wealthy in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Only the United States will be permitted to subsidize its agriculture, thanks to its unique right to grandfather in its price supports. Only the United States will be free from having to raise interest rates to stabilize its balance of payments, and only it can devote its monetary policy to promoting easy credit and asset-price inflation. And only the United States can run a military deficit, obliging foreign central banks in dollar-recipient countries to give it a free ride. In other words, there is no free lunch for other countries, only for the United States.
Other countries do indeed give up their national sovereignty. The United States never has adjusted its economy to create equilibrium with other countries. But to be fair, in this respect only the United States is acting fully in its own self-interest. The problem is largely that other countries are not “playing the game.” They are not acting as real governments. It takes two to tango when one party gets a free ride. Their governments have become “enablers” of U.S. economic aggression.
MW: What do you think the Bush administration’s reaction would be if a smaller country, like Switzerland, had sold hundreds of billions of dollars of worthless mortgage-backed securities to investment banks, insurance companies and investors in the United States? Wouldn’t there be litigation and a demand that the responsible parties be held accountable? So, how do you explain the fact that China and the EU nations, that were the victims of this gigantic swindle, haven’t boycotted US financial products or called for reparations?
Michael Hudson: International law is not clear on financial fraud. Caveat emptor is the rule. Foreign investors took a risk. They trusted a deregulated U.S. financial market that made it easiest to make money via financial fraud. Ultimately, they put their faith in neoliberal deregulation - at home as well as in the United States. England is now in the same mess. The “accountability” was supposed to lie with U.S. accounting firms and credit rating agencies. Foreign investors were so ideologically blinded by free market rhetoric that they actually believed the fantasies about “self-regulation” and self-regulating markets tending toward equilibrium rather than the real-world tendency toward financial and economic polarization.
In other words, most foreign investors lack a realistic body of economic theory. The United States could simply argue that they should take responsibility for their bad investments, just as U.S. pension funds and other investors are told to do.
MW: The Congress recently passed a bill that gives Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson the unprecedented authority to use as much money as he needs to keep Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac solvent. Paulson assured the Congress that he wouldn’t need more than $25 billion but, the 400 page bill allows him to increase the national debt by $800 billion. How will the Fannie/Freddie bailout affect the dollar and the budget deficit? Are interest rates likely to skyrocket because of this action?
Michael Hudson: The Fed can flood the economy with money, Alan Greenspan-style, to prevent interest rates from skyrocketing. Nobody really knows what will happen to FNMA and Freddie Mac, but it looks like the mortgage and financial crisis will get much, much worse over the coming year. We are just heading into the storm where adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) are scheduled to reset at higher rates, and where U.S. banks have to roll over their existing debts in a market where foreign investors fear that these banks already have no net worth left.
So the principle here is “Big fish eat little fish.” Wall Street will be bailed out, and banks will be allowed to “earn their way out of debt” as they did after 1980, by exploiting retail customers, above all credit-card customers and individual borrowers. There will be a lot of bankruptcies, and people will suffer more than ever before because of the harsh pro-creditor bankruptcy law that Congress passed at the behest of the bank lobbyists.
MW: A few months ago, the Wall Street Journal ran an editorial which said that they could imagine two nightmare scenarios if the current credit crisis was not handled properly; either there would be a run on the dollar causing a sudden plunge in its value, or the unexpected failure of a major financial institution could send the stock market crashing. Last week, the former head of the IMF Kenneth Rogoff triggered a sell-off on Wall Street when he said, “We’re not just going to see mid-sized banks go under in the next few months, we’re going to see a whopper; we’re going to see a big one — one of the big investment banks or big banks.” What happens if Rogoff is right and Merrill, Citi or Lehman go belly up? Is that enough to send the stock market freefalling?
Michael Hudson: Not necessarily. Citibank would be nationalized, then sold off. The principle should be that if a bank is “too big to fail,” it should be broken up.
This should start with a repeal of the Clinton Administration’s repeal of Glass-Steagall.
As for Lehman, that would be given the Bear Stearns treatment, and also sold off - probably to a hedge fund. Merrill is much larger, but it also could be parceled out, I suppose. The stock market’s financial index would plunge, but not necessarily industrial stock prices.
MW: According to MarketWatch: “In the three months from April to June, banks posted their second worst earnings performance since 1991…. Earnings for the quarter totaled just $5 billion, compared with $36.8 billion a year ago, a decline of 86.5%.” Also, according to a front page article in the Wall Street Journal: “financial institutions will have to pay off at least $787 billion in floating rate notes and other medium term obligations before the end of 2009.” How are the banks going to pay off nearly $800 billion ($200 billion by December!) when they only earned a measly $5 billion in the quarter!?! And how in the world is the Federal Reserve going to keep the banking system functioning when earnings can’t even cover current liabilities? Do the banks have some secret source of revenue we don’t know about or is the system headed for disaster?
Michael Hudson: The traditional way to pay debt is with yet MORE debt. The interest due is simply added on to the principal, so that the debt grows exponentially. This is the real meaning of “the magic of compound interest.” It means not only that savings left to accumulate interest keep on doubling and redoubling, debts do to, because the savings that are lent out on the “asset” side of the creditor’s balance sheet (today, that of America’s wealthiest 10%) become debts on the “liabilities” side of the balance sheet (the “bottom 90%”).
The banks don’t have a secret source of revenue. It’s right out in the open. They will take their junk mortgages to the Federal Reserve and borrow the money at full face value. The government will be left with the junk.
It then can either take over the bank, as the Bank of England did with Northern Rock when it went bankrupt early this year, or it can let the bank “earn” money by stiffing its customers some more.
MW: From 2000 to 2006, the total retail value of housing in the United States doubled, going from roughly $11 trillion to $22 trillion in just 6 years. For the last 200 years, housing has barely kept pace with the rate of inflation, usually increasing 2 to 3% per year. The Federal Reserve’s low interest rates were the main cause of this unprecedented housing bubble and, yet, ex-Fed chief Alan Greenspan still denies any responsibility for what “The Economist” calls “the largest bubble in history”. Did Greenspan understand the problems he was creating with his “loose” monetary policies or was there some ulterior motive to his actions?
Michael Hudson: He simply didn’t care about the problem. He saw his job as a cheerleader for people who were able to get rich fast. These always had been his major clients in his years on Wall Street, and he saw himself as their servant - sort of like a pilot fish for sharks.
Mr. Greenspan’s idea of “wealth creation” was to take the line of least resistance and inflate asset prices. He thought that the way to enable the economy to carry its debt overhead was to inflate asset prices so that debtors could borrow the interest falling due by pledging collateral (real estate, stocks and bonds) that were rising in market price. To his Ayn-Rand view of the world, one way of making money was as economically and socially productive as any other way of doing so. Buying a property and waiting for its price to inflate was deemed as productive as investing in new means of production.
Ever since his days as co-founder of NABE (the National Association of Business Economists), Greenspan has long looked only at GNP and the national balance sheet as an economic indicator, being “value-free.” This is his intellectual and conceptual limitation. He wanted to provide a way for savvy investors to get rich, and the easiest way to get rich is to be passive and get a free lunch. His ideology led him to believe the “free market” ideology that the financial sector would be self-regulating and hence would act honestly. But he opened the floodgates to financial crooks. His set of measures did not distinguish between Countrywide Financial getting rich, Enron getting rich, or General Motors or industrial companies expanding their means of production. So the economy was being hollowed out, but this didn’t appear in any of the measures he looked at from his perch at the Federal Reserve.
So just as journalists and the mass media proclaim every market downturn as “surprising” and “unexpected,” he was as clueless as a lemming running headlong over the cliff. It’s an inherent instinct for free-market boys.
MW: The housing market is freefalling, setting new records every day for foreclosures, inventory, and declining prices. The banking system is in even worse shape; undercapitalized and buried under a mountain of downgraded assets. There seems to be growing consensus that these problems are not just part of a normal economic downturn, but the direct result of the Fed’s monetary policies. Are we seeing the collapse of the Central banking model as a way of regulating the markets? Do you think the present crisis will strengthen the existing system or make it easier for the American people to assert greater control over monetary policy?
Michael Hudson: What do you mean “failure”? Your perspective is from the bottom looking up. But the financial model has been a great success from the vantage point of the top of the economic pyramid looking down? The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy. From their point of view, their power has exceeded that of any time in which economic statistics have been kept.
You have to realize that what they’re trying to do is to roll back the Enlightenment, roll back the moral philosophy and social values of classical political economy and its culmination in Progressive Era legislation, as well as the New Deal institutions. They’re not trying to make the economy more equal, and they’re not trying to share power. Their greed is (as Aristotle noted) infinite. So what you find to be a violation of traditional values is a re-assertion of pre-industrial, feudal values. The economy is being set back on the road to debt peonage. The Road to Serfdom is not government sponsorship of economic progress and rising living standards; it’s the dismantling of government, the dissolution of regulatory agencies, to create a new feudal-type elite.
The former Soviet Union provides a model of what the neoliberals would like to create. Not only in Russia but also in the Baltic States and other former Soviet republics, they created local kleptocracies, Pinochet-style. In Russia, the kleptocrats founded an explicitly Pinochetista party, the Party of Right Forces (”Right” as in right-wing).
In order for the American people or any other people to assert greater control over monetary policy, they need to have a doctrine of just what a good monetary policy would be. Early in the 19th century the followers of St. Simon in France began to develop such a policy. By the end of that century, Central Europe implemented this policy, mobilizing the banking and financial system to promote industrialization, in consultation with the government (and catalyzed by military and naval spending, to be sure). But all this has disappeared from the history of economic thought, which no longer is even taught to economics students. The Chicago Boys have succeeded in censoring any alternative to their free-market rationalization of asset stripping and economic polarization.
My own model would be to make central banks part of the Treasury, not simply the board of directors of the rapacious commercial banking system. You mentioned Henry Liu’s writings earlier, and I think he has come to the same conclusion in his Asia Times articles.
MW:Do you see the Federal Reserve as an economic organization designed primarily to maintain order in the markets via interest rates and regulation or a political institution whose objectives are to impose an American-dominated model of capitalism on the rest of the world?
Michael Hudson: Surely, you jest! The Fed has turned “maintaining order” into a euphemism for consolidating power by the financial sector and the FIRE sector generally (Finance, Insurance and Real Estate) over the “real” economy of production and consumption. Its leaders see their job as being to act on behalf of the commercial banking system to enable it to make money off the rest of the economy. It acts as the Board of Directors to fight regulation, to support Wall Street, to block any revival of anti-usury laws, to promote “free markets” almost indistinguishable from outright financial fraud, to decriminalize bad behavior - and most of all to inflate the price of property relative to the wages of labor and even relative to the profits of industry.
The Fed’s job is not really to impose the Washington Consensus on the rest of the world. That’s the job of the World Bank and IMF, coordinated via the Treasury (viz. Robert Rubin under Clinton most notoriously) and AID, along with the covert actions of the CIA and the National Endowment for Democracy. You don’t need monetary policy to do this - only massive bribery. Only call it “lobbying” and the promotion of democratic values - values to fight government power to regulate or control finance across the world. Financial power is inherently cosmopolitan and, as such, antagonistic to the power of national governments.
The Fed and other government agencies, Wall Street and the rest of the economy form part of an overall system. Each agency must be viewed in the context of this system and its dynamics - and these dynamics are polarizing, above all from financial causes. So we are back to the “magic of compound interest,” now expanded to include “free” credit creation and arbitraging.
The problem is that none of this appears in the academic curriculum. And the silence of the major media to address it or even to acknowledge it means that it is invisible except to the beneficiaries who are running the system.

Tuan Miqa-Sendayan,
Tuhan sebenarnya tidak menilai hambanya melalui keahlian partinya baik UMNO, PKR, PAS hatta DAP sekalipun.
Apa yang membezakan kita ialah apakah sumbangan kita pada agama, bangsa dan negara. Allarharyam A. Samad Ismail adalah wira yang melalui perbagai ranjau politik lebih sukar dan payah dari yang dilalui oleh DSAI sendiri. Malangnya sehingga ke ajalnya perjuangan beliau belum mampu rakyat Malaysia lunaskan cukuplah tuhan yang akan membalasnya. Sesunguhnya Dia-lah sebaik-baik tempat pembalas.
Al-Fatihah.

Satu persatu pejuang kita pergi, bila dah pergi baru kita nak kenang, yang ada… kita buli-buli, maki-maki, tidak perduli!
Bersatulah! Amanahlah! Insya’Allah lain-lain kebaikan akan menyusul. :)
My deepest condolence towards the Late Tan Sri Samad Said family. it is hard to digest the death but it is the reality of each creation in the world. His life is the example for others to follow. I have read several of his writings which really make you to ponder! His associates in late 40’s & 50’s make him a legendary figure. With leftist Malay parties with him, he really survive the onslaught in that time. May his soul rest in peace and rise in glory.
Alfatihah… Semoga rohnya dicucuri rahmat, Amin….
it’s sad actually if we think about our text book at school that only tell us glimpses of these people. And, honestly saya mengatakan yg saya kurang kenal allahyarham. Our education those not tell us of theses people.
Dato Seri, jika betullah dato seri kembali menerajui negara, harapan saya perbetulkanlah sistem pendidikan kita…
Al-fatihah untuk A. Samad Ismail.
Dalbinder Singh, wathc your words. You are a racist.
Salam DSAI. Moga Roh Allahyarham Tan Sri Samad Ismail Diletakkan bersama-sama dengan orang-orang yang beriman. Amin
Al-fatihah untuk Allahyarham Pak Samad,
Saya merasa sedih atas kehilangan beliau. Tentu sekali saya juga tidak lupa, beliau adalah di antara beberapa orang yang pertama datang menemui DSAI semasa DSAI dipecat dahulu. Itu saya tidak boleh lupa.
Alfatiha untuk Ayahenda Pak Samad yang di sayangi serta di sanjung tinggi selama-lamanya. It’s very thoughtful of much loved and respected DSAI to insert a “Rememberance” page for Pak Samad. DSAI, Thank you for rembering our great silent hero who is gone but never forgotten. All through his life he had been fighting for a just and worthy cause according to his ideals and beliefs which have benifitted us tremendously especially in the literary sphere. Thank you Pak Samad, I shall always remember you for your undying contributions. And to “kesinambung” his great work, Pn Nurina Samad seems to fit his tired and not worn boots! Right on,Pn Nurina.
All I can say is “Old soldiers never die, they just fade away” and his memories, I’m sure will linger on for a long timein the minds of those who say ,”I shall never forget. I shall return!” He is greater than life itself and b=greater than our current materially inclined politicians!
For Mr Binder Singh, I am again taking pot shots at you as you smell terribly like Stinking Shit Scat Line (Barisan)fellow…a mile away, so the jargon goes! Be humble and God loves you. I,too, have a lot of Puunjabi friends but unlike you we respect one another. you must be on the wrong side of the road or river-lah!!!Repent and God loves you, Mr Singh!And don’t be an imbecile.Can you be comparable to Allahyarham Pak Samad? No, never, never, NOT even his wee bit “air from the bottom outlet”!So, stop being an imbecile.I truly got riled and F@#* up reading your even one line comment.
al-fatihah,
bertuah allahyarham Pak Samad meninggal di bulan mulia.
smg Allah memberkati hidup dan perjuangannya selama ini.
Ameen.
al-fatihah…semoga roh beliau dicucuri rahmat n ditempatkan di kalangan orang yang berima…
Al-Fatihah,
Semoga rohnya dicucuri rahmat dan ditempatkan dikalangan orang yang soleh.

Saya baru pulang dari rumah dari menziarah jenazah Pak Samad, my beloved teacher, mentor and boss (di NST). Saya rasa amat bertuah dan bangga kerana telah mendapat bimbingan dari Arwah Pak Samad apabila saya mula mencerburi dalam dunia kewartawanan. Terima Kasih Pak Samad. Saya hanya dapat membalas budi Pak Samad dengan doa supaya Allah S.W.T mencucuri rahmat keatas Roh Pak Samad.
Al-Fatihah
Setiap yang hidup pasti akan mati.Semoga rohnya dicucuri rahmatNya dan ditempatkan di kalangan roh orang-orang yang soleh. Kita yang masih hidup ini perlulah menginsafi setiap perbuatan kita. Amin.

Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad hari ini mempersoalkan mengapa orang Melayu sering dituntut memohon maaf sekiranya mengeluarkan perkataan dan catitan yang boleh ditafsirkan sebagai perkauman.
Bekas Perdana Menteri berkata, sebaliknya apabila orang bukan Melayu mengeluarkan perkataan atau catitan yang boleh ditafsir sebagai perkauman, orang Melayu tidak pernah menuntut pihak tersebut memohon maaf.
Beliau memberi contoh memorandum Hindraf kepada Perdana Menteri United Kingdom yang bukan sahaja penuh dengan unsur-unsur perkauman tetapi juga bersifat hasutan.
”Seorang penuntut universiti Wee Meng Chee telah perlekehkan Negaraku dengan mengguna lagu Negaraku tetapi dengan lirik yang mempermainkan sembahyang dan azan orang Melayu (Islam). Azan dijadikan duet lagu cinta.
”Apakah mereka dikehendaki memohon maaf? Apakah pemimpin mereka dikehendaki memohon maaf? Jauh sekali.
”Sebenarnya Wee dipertahan oleh pemimpin-pemimpin parti Cina dan anggota Hindraf dibebaskan daripada tahanan dan ada yang dengan bebasnya bertanding dalam pilihan raya dan menang menjadi wakil rakyat,” katanya dalam laman blognya, http://www.chedet.com.
Dr. Mahathir berkata, orang Melayu hari ini sebenarnya takut jika mereka dilabelkan perkauman.
Katanya, tahap ketakutan orang Melayu hari ini sehingga apabila hak mereka diburuk-burukkan dan diserang, mereka tidak berani mempertahankan diri.
”Sesungguhnya keadaan hubungan antara kaum bukan lebih baik hasil Pilihan Raya Umum 2008, tetapi ia menjadi amat buruk.
”Mungkin saya dituduh sebagai menyumbang kepada keadaan melalui tulisan saya, tetapi pada saya amatlah tidak adil jika satu pihak dapat kebebasan sedangkan pihak yang ditohmah tidak boleh buka mulut,” katanya.

TDM kan Melayu,Orang melayu mentafsirkan megelar haprak sebagai perkauman kerana secara terang TDM mehina kaum melayu? sebagai Haprak!….. cina indai, kadazan,dusun,bajau,murut,melanau,penan tak kata pun melayu haprak.Tiada pun seorang melayu megarahkan, TDM seorang melayu!.. memohon maaf secara terbuka.diatas perkataan berbau perkaunman tersebut.Haprak lebih teruk segala kaum.hanya DAP sahaja yang berani menentang TDM megelar melayu haprak. lain lain pertubuhan melayu bisu.DAP tentang keras sikap pembesar UMNO hina kaum melayu.kita percaya jika TDM kata melayu haprak sekali lagi rusuhan kaum antara sesama melayu akan berlaku.
Bangkitlah Umat Islam Semua…
Bahawa pada akhir zaman nanti akan bangkit Dajjal yang menyebabkan segala kekalutan dalam Umat Islam dimana kaum mukmin akan mulai pertingkahan sesama Islam ditambah Yakjuj dan Makjuj yang bertopengkan kewarakan dan kejumudan dan agama
Bulan Ramadhan ini di harap Umat Islam berjihad menentang tindakan golongan kafiq Laknat seperti Karpal Sigh dan Lim Kit Siang serta sekutu-kutu mereka yang cuba menyerap iedelogi komunis melalui idea sosialis…Jangan terleka nanti membahaya kerana selepas kejatuhan USSR tiada lagi tetapi sekarang sudah ujud.Komunis di Malaysia tidak lagi memerangi kita dengan senjata tetapi melalui politik dan ekonomi.DAP adalah salah satu oganisasi Sosialis yang menghancurkan kita seperti kisah BUKIT KEPONG

Saya berpandangan sama dengan saudara/saudari ulam batar, Jadi pengerusi hanya diletakan sebagai kouta sahaja untuk menarik perhatian, begitu juga yang dilakukan oleh UMNO melatakkan orang melayu sebagai Pengerusi Genting Bhd untuk menarik orang melayu berjudi,dan bekas pengerusi Megnum Khir Johari. Perkara yang sama berlaku kepada Ching Peng sebagai kouta dan menarik orang cina.

In the Qur’an, Allah invites men of understanding to think about:
In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of night and day, there are Signs for people of intelligence: those who remember Allah standing, sitting and lying on their sides, and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth: “Our Lord, You did not create this for nothing. Glory be to You! So guard us from the punishment of the Fire.” (Surah Ali-‘Imran: 190-191)
As we see in these verses, people of understanding see the signs of Allah and try to comprehend His eternal knowledge, power and art by remembering and reflecting on them, for Allah’s knowledge is limitless, and His creation flawless.
For men of understanding, everything around them is a sign of this creation.

Assalamualaikum wbt, tuan redaksi, terima kasih untuk meyiarkan kata-kata ku. Terima kaish lagi sekali.
I am attacking this wierd guy called Binder. I wonder if he knows what a Gordion’s knot is? Well, obviously he doesn’t! Mien Gott in Himmel! Gundrsheit! Dumkoff! Sacre Bleu! Please expand your knowledge and reading up variegated articles and whatnots (even though they are considered trash, they might someday prove to be very useful as currently we are re-cycling discarded wasteful materials-lah!!!)He apparently is BINDING himself into a maze of mental disarray! I don’t think that gray matter of his is fully occupied with useful inputs.Equip that God given precious gray matter and become a better homo sapien. Expand your horizons of multiracial friends/cohorts and try to understand their feelings, respect their thoughts and be truthful to them. Your one-line comment has obviously somewhat drawn some flak from me as I was cheesed/pissed off given that you are disrespectful as much loved DSAI in truth and as a very, very knowledgeable person around(all rounder)in all earnesty and sincerity did what as a true good and God fearing Muslim would do–offered late Pak Samad and his bereaved family condolences. I am not easily swayed by DSAI and I think he is one of the best orators around this region. If not, then the recent survey would not have ranked him as one of the top 100 orators internationally! in fact, DSAI is truly folloing the holy sentence of Iqraq which goes like this “Iqraq bismirabbikal lazi….” and so on. As I have been inside a Gurudwara, I noticed that your Holy Book, Sdr Binder, is placed on a “rihal” on stand or pedestal similar to that of our Holy Qur’an nuul Karim and also your Holy Book looks similarly like ours. Bang me if I am wrong, Brother! So be a human being and do not crucify a person only for the sake of venting your anger but give some momentus thinking prior to nailing that particular chappie. Definitely you will be filled with anger reading my after thoughts….as I will take you on if you wish to debate about religion (together with my good friend Manjit Singh(who gave me some brochures to ponder about Sikhism). We all. irrespective of any religion have the five precepts which lead us to a better life if we follow those paths? Have your ventured on the five-path sojourn? Yet. If not I suggest that you do and there is a place in Heaven for you and also everyone…God’s Promised Eternal Land of milk and honey ….so they say. Amen. May Almighty change your (???negative)track of thoughts for the better.Give yourself about 10 minutes per day and think about how great our God given blessed life. I have been doing it since I was in a foreign land (which is considered as a heathen land in Islam) for almost 16 years. So be it, Brother Dhal.
