Didik Masyarakat Jadi Prihatin - Rosmawati

KUALA LUMPUR, 18 Mei - Gejala pembuangan bayi yang baru dilahirkan nampaknya sudah menjadi sesuatu yang lumrah dalam masyarakat hari ini.

Pengarah Raudhatus Sakinah, Rosmawati Zainal (gambar) berkata, kekejaman berlaku bukan hanya kerana bayi itu dibuang, malah lebih dahsyat lagi, ia membawa kepada pembunuhan bayi yang malang tersebut.

“Kegiatan pembuangan dan pembunuhan bayi ini seolah-olah sudah menjadi kebiasaan dalam masyarakat lantaran hampir setiap hari kita mendengar berita-berita mengenainya dalam media massa. Namun hal yang menjadi tanda tanya ialah kegiatan tersebut berlaku dalam masyarakat yang bagaimana?” ujar Rosmawati ketika diminta oleh Malaysia Harmoni untuk mengulas kes pembuangan bayi yang berlaku di belakang sebuah kedai makan di Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock di sini pada malam 16 Mei 2009 yang lalu.

Dalam kejadian tersebut, mayat seorang bayi lelaki yang masih bertali pusat ditemui oleh salah seorang pekerja kedai makan tersebut dalam keadaan berbungkus dengan surat khabar dan masih terdapat kesan darah, dipercayai baru dilahirkan.

“Kita tidak tahu siapa yang melakukannya dan bagaimana bentuk pembuangannya. Namun kita bersyukur kerana masih ada ahli masyarakat yang bersikap prihatin walaupun kita tahu kebanyakan daripada mereka tidak tahu apa yang perlu dilakukan apabila berhadapan dengan situasi sebegitu,” tambah beliau.

Untuk itu, beliau memberikan saranan agar seluruh ahli masyarakat harus terus dididik dalam menangani gejala sedemikian.

“Mereka yang melakukannya adalah mereka yang jahil. Justeru, dengan didikan yang betul, mereka mampu keluar daripada kejahilan tersebut. Mereka yang lain juga harus turut dididik agar menjadi ahli mayarakat yang prihatin dengan suasana yang berlaku di sekeliling mereka,” tegas beliau lagi.

Dalam pada itu, Raudhatus Sakinah yang merupakan sebuah pusat perlindungan dan bimbingan remaja puteri kini sedang giat menjalankan kempen “Anda Bijak Jauhi Zina”, sebuah kempen yang mula dilancarkan pada tahun 2007 dengan menjadikan para pelajar sekolah-sekolah menengah serta institusi pengajian tinggi sebagai golongan sasaran.

“Kita harap kempen sebegini bukan dilakukan oleh pihak Raudhatus Sakinah sahaja, namun harus turut digerakkan oleh semua pihak, termasuk agensi kerajaan dan swasta. Kita laksanakannya adalah untuk membantu golongan remaja, belia dan masyarakat seluruhnya daripada terus terjerumus ke lembah dosa dan noda,” kata beliau.

15th May, A Day of Remembrance of Nakbah

Assalamualaikum and Salam Sejahtera,
PACE (Palestine Centre of Excellence, Malaysia) declaration of support for the Palestinian cause in conjunction with the 61st remembrance of an-Nakbah (the catastrophe of 15th May 1948)

15th May, a day of remembrance of Nakbah

The tragedy of an-Nakbah or catastrophe officially unfolded on the 15th May of 1948 with the birth of the illegitimate state of Israel. It was the culmination of the systematic usurpation of Palestinian land by Jewish settlers since the 1920’s and ended with the mass exodus of more than 800,000 Palestinians vacating their homes and land to save dear life. Sixty one years have past to date, and these displaced Palestinians or their children and children’s children are still living in refugee camps across the middle east, longing to return to their homes in historic Palestine.

It all started with the notorious Balfour Declaration passed in the British House of Commons in 1917, giving the rights to the people of Jewish descent to migrate and populate the British mandated territory of Palestine. It marked the success of the International Zionist movement started and led by Teodor Hertzl in 1897, which after much consultation settled for Palestine for the Jewish National Home. They came and settled in Palestine, buying over land or taking over from absentee landlords. Thanks to the great Mufti of Palestine, al-Haj Amin Husaini, a religious edict was passed by the council of muslim scholars which forbade Palestinians from selling their lands to Jewish settlers. Things came to a head after the Second World War, when displaced jews of Europe as a consequent of Hitlers pogrom, or the Holocaust, flocked to Palestine in their hundreds of thousands. They formed armed groups like Haganah and Irgun, terrorizing Palestinians by conducting raids and massacres in their villages. To resolve the situation in Palestine, the United Nation formed the UNSCOP (United Nation Special Committee on Palestine) to preside over the issue, and they came up with the Partition Plan, whereby historic Palestine was divided into Arab and Jewish territory. Fifty five percent of Palestinian territory was carved up for the Jewish immigrants from Europe. The Partition Plan was tabled in the United Nations General Assembly in 1947 and was passed as the Resolution 181 with majority votes. As Arab and Islamic countries have yet to become members of the United Nation, as they were still under the colonial yoke, the outcome of the vote was a forgone conclusion. What’s worst was the Palestinian people, the rightful owner of the land was ignored as if they were non existent.

Nineteen years later, the zionist State of Israel annexed the remaining 23% of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and the East Jarusalem (Baitul Maqdis), what’s left of the Arab territories from the first Arab-Israeli War of 1948. Right to this day, every single inch of these remaining territory has been under occupation. Despite of repeated calls by the United Nations to withdraw to the Green Line of 1967, as stipulated by the UN Resolution 242 and 338 Israel remain defiant. The longstanding occupation now has lead to other more demeaning and sinister moves by the Zionist regime to carve up more land by buiding jewish-only settlements on Palestinian lands, constructing the notorious wall that snakes through the West Bank from north to south, disrupting daily movements of the Palestinian people and blocking access to schools, farms and water sources. Against every sense of justice and international laws and convention, Israel has been laying siege on the densely populated Gaza strip since 2006, turning it into the biggest terrestrial prison on earth. The population of Gaza was collectively punished for putting up a resistance against the occupation, an act that is sanctioned even by the United Nations and the Geneva Conventions. The siege was than followed by a massive military strike against a deprived population that lasted for 22 days with the aim of breaking the spirit of the Palestinian people. But the Palestinian people survived the terrible ordeal and came out stronger.

These episodes only prove one thing i.e. no power can put down a national aspiration for freedom. The Palestinian people will continue to remain steadfast in their struggle to liberate their land and restore their dignity in the face of the most oppressive regime the world has ever known. They have put up sixty one years of honourable fight to regain their freedom and they are showing no signs of letting up.

PACE proudly stood by the Palestinian cause. The Palestinian people deserve a standing ovation for such an increadible feat.

NEED WASHING??

From a friend:


A little girl had been shopping with her Mom in
Target. She must have been 6 years old, this
beautiful red haired, freckle faced image of
innocence. It was pouring outside. The kind of rain
that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so much
in a hurry to hit the earth it has no time to flow
down the spout. We all stood there under the awning
and just inside the door of the Target.



We waited, some patiently, others irritated because
nature messed up their hurried day. I am always
mesmerized by rainfall. I got lost in the sound and
sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust
of the world. Memories of running, splashing so
carefree as a child came pouring in as a welcome
reprieve from the worries of my day.



The little voice was so sweet as it broke the
hypnotic trance we were all caught in 'Mom let's
run through the rain,' she said.


'What?' Mom asked.



'Lets run through the rain!' She repeated



'No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit,'
Mom replied.



This young child waited about another minute and
repeated: 'Mom, let's run through the rain,'



'We'll get soaked if we do,' Mom said.



'No, we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this
morning,' the young girl said as she tugged at her
Mom's arm.



'This morning? When did I say we could run through
the rain and not get wet?'



'Don't you remember? When you were talking to Daddy
about his cancer, you said, 'If God can get us
through this, he can get us through anything!'



The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I swear you
couldn't hear anything but the rain. We all stood
silently. No one came or left in the next few
minutes.


Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she
would say. Now some would laugh it off and scold
her for being silly. Some might even ignore what
was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a
young child's life. A time when innocent trust can
be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith.



'Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through
the rain. If GOD let's us get wet, well maybe we
just needed washing,' Mom said.



Then off they ran. We all stood watching, smiling
and laughing as they darted past the cars and yes,
through the puddles. They held their shopping bags
over their heads just in case. They got soaked. But
they were followed by a few who screamed and
laughed like children all the way to their cars



And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing.




Circumstances or people can take away your material
possessions, they can take away your money, and
they can take away your health. But no one can ever
take away your precious memories. So, don't forget
to make time and take the opportunities to make
memories everyday. To everything there is a season
and a time to every purpose under heaven.

I HOPE YOU STILL TAKE THE TIME TO RUN THROUGH THE
RAIN.



They say it takes a minute to find a special
person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love
them, but then an entire life to forget them. Send
this to the people you'll never forget and remember
to also send it to the person who sent it to you.
It's a short message to let them know that you'll
never forget them.



Take the time to live!!!



Keep in touch with your friends, you never know
when you'll need each other -- and don't forget to
run in the rain !

Anak-anak

Anak-anak adalah anugerah yang paling berharga.  Setiap seorang mempunyai personaliti, perangai, sifat, kelakuan dan cara yang berbeza.  Walau siapapun mereka merekalah anak-anak yang menjadi racun maupun madu kepada ibubapa.  Sekarang ini ibubapa sibuk dengan tugasan diluar rumah mencari rezeki buat anak-anak mereka.  Masa akan terasa begitu pantas berlalu, lantas seperti tiba-tiba saja anak-anak kita telah membesar.  Terasa begitu banyak yang terlepas dari pandangan kita. Anak-anak membesar tanpa kita sedar bila kali pertama mereka tertawa, bila kali pertama mereka melangkah, bila kali pertama mereka berkata-kata. Begitu banyak yang kita terlepas rupanya!
