Dugaan Buat Kita

Lama jugak rasanya tak update kat sini. Agak busy dengan schedule yang agak tight, esp preparation for school holidays and school holidays...

As usual, sebelum school holidays mestilah ada exam, kan? Kat mana-mana pun sama, dari zaman sekolah rendah, sekolah menengah sampailah ke univ... So, Anggun was preparing for her exam and secara tak langsung, sayalah cikgu di rumah... Even it just standard 2 subjects, mencabar iman juga la kiranya...

9th March 2011 early in the morning, around 4am, we got to know that my BIL accident. Mulanya agak confused and tak la sangka dia parah sebab cerita yang berangkai-rangkai tu macam blur jugak. Rupanya, my BIL tu dilanggar kereta sendiri... Macam mana? Confesed tak?

Macam nie ceritanya...

My BIL tu baru beli pick-up truck (Mazda, lebih kurang mcm Toyota Hilux jugak la sizenya), second hand lepas dia tolak Myvi lama dia. Myvi baru dia still pakai lagi. Malam tu dia nak main badminton dekat hall (btw, his location is in Felda Kuala Ketil, near Sg Petani and his wife tak duduk sekali since wife dia still mengajar kat Sg Bayour, Perak). So, lepas parking, bila dah dalam hall, suddenly member-member dia kata kereta dia bergerak. Kebetulan, tempat dia parking tu agak curam. My BIL and another 4 of his friends berkejar lari nak tahan kereta tu. Sampai satu tahap, semua dah tak tahan dah and pakat nak lepas and lari. Entah macam mana, my BIL terjatuh and dia digelek dek keretanya sendiri on 8th March 2011...

Kawan-kawan dia bawak my BIL to nearby clinic and clinic hantar dia to Hospital Sg Petani. We all bertolak to Sg Petani on 10th March, lepas event Azimin selesai kat UKM... Yelah, kan ke lelaki kesayangan hamba tu was one of the spotlight for Permata Pintar launching... Acara penyerahan SOLAR VEST nya to Datin Paduka Rosmah Mansor (itulah nama yang tulis kat vest tu ya)..

We departed ENSTEK after Maghrib and arrived Sg Petani Hospital around 1.30am. Azimin sempat naik and visit his brother, then lepas tu, we all carik hotel yang dekat-dekat area hospital tu. We checked in kat Casa Lagenda, dekat Lagenda Heights... Kebetulan, my in-laws pun checked-in kat situ. Sebab emergency, bedal jer la... Kalau nama nak stay for pleasure, idak la kot... Sebab the next day tu, FELDA dah sewakan 2 storeys homestay kat area situ gak untuk we all sefamily...

My BIL’s conditions parah sebenarnya. He is facing 3 phases of ‘parah’. 1- Paru-parunya internal bleeding... 2 – Kecederaan buah pinggang and 3 – Tulang rusuk & tulang kat tangan kiri & bahu patah... Kesia aku tengok condition dia. Amat kesian...

Dan as a person yang pernah bergaul-mesra dengan insan-insan hospital, aku tahu la serba sedikit on the medical terms kan? Panas jugak aku melihat keadaan & layanan yang amat ALA KADAR tu, padahal orang nie parah bukan main. Paling aku tak tahan, ada ke troli bahan buangan ubat, etc tu boleh selamba rock jer park kat sebelah katil BIL aku. Itu bahan buangan merbahaya, main letak-letak suka hati lak. Dah la masa tu waktu melawat. Ramai orang kat keliling and Alam & his cousins pun ada cuba-cuba main-main troli tu. Tapi bila kena sergah dengan aku, tak de saper berani usik... Bila doktor pelatih (kat situ memang meriah dengan doktor pelatih, nurse pelatih, etc...) datang kat katil BIL aku, boleh lak dia cakap kat Alam, “Jangan main troli nie dik, bahaya.”... Itu adalah ayat-ayat pembuka tirai nak kena sembur dengan aku la tu... Aku yang memang dah panas, sound la, “Kenapa troli nie letak kat sini ye? Sebab selalunya troli nie kena letak kat bilik khas, tak boleh main tinggal-tinggal sesuka hati. Bahaya.” Tercengang doktor practical tu dengar suara merdu aku... Nasib la kau, kau yang mula bersuara... Terus dia capai troli tu and bawak pergi.. Nasib kau baik tau, kalau la jadi kat hospital tanah jajahan aku dulu, sah-sah aku call GM hospital terus..

Lagi satu yang amat buat aku rasa GERAM jerr tu... Dah sah-sah BIL aku tu pakai oksigen for breathing, mulut tu nak bukak pun tak boleh.. Kat menu slip tu dah tulis dah: SOFT FOOD... Korang tahu apa makanan untuk dinner yang dihantarnya kat BIL aku tu? Nasi putih sejuk (masa dia letak nasi tu may be la panas, tapi journey dari G Floor sampai ke 4th Floor tu jauh la gak kan), lauk labu (correct me if im wrong, bukan labu tu angin ker?) and ikan goreng yang keras (sebab aku try kutil dengan tangan, jenuh jugak la)... Boleh bayangkan macam mana BIL aku yang nak bukak mulut pun payah tu makan tak? Bila wife dia ngadu kat aku, aku suruh FIL aku inform kat doctor. Ye la, kalau aku or Azimin yang pegi cakap, mahu riuh satu ward kan...

Dan you all tahu apa jawapan doktor? “Staff catering dah turun, kalau dia tak nak makan food nie, pak cik boleh beli kat luar,” ... mak oii... berhemahnya... Betul la kata orang, orang sakit masuk hospital, boleh jadi bertambah sakit... FELDA memang dari awal dah proposed to transfer BIL aku ke provate hospital tapi memandangkan my BIL dah start admitted kat situ and record & case dia tgh diaorg study, so we agree to stay there. Bila dia dah stable bolehlah transfer balik Taiping...

Aku and Azimin siap meredah Sg Petani carik Mc D nak belikan bubur untuk BIL aku. Dia memang lapar, yelah, a day before that suruh puasa sebab nak buat endoskopik (betul ke spelling aku nie?.. ala, yang masukkan kamera dalam perut tu). Dari malam puasa, sampai la ke petang pukul 4pm... Doktor haram tak datang. Bila SIL aku berang, tanya nurse, nurse kata “Doktor tak jadi datang...” Apalagi, SIL aku yang sesopan-sopan insan tu pun boleh mengamuk, korang bayangkan la kalau aku yang ada kat situ...

UKM Presents Special Vest Using Solar Energy to Prime Minister

Its from HERE!!!

BANGI, 16 Feb. 2011 – Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia has presented Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak with a special vest developed by its solar scientists that is an epitome of their approach to green technology and safety.

The university said in a statement that it was privileged to present the extra sighting vest, trademarked as “ecSIGHTING” vest to the prime minister.

The vest was presented by UKM’s Vice Chancellor, Prof Tan Sri Dato’ Wira Sharifah Hapsah Syed Hassan Shahabudin through the Minister of Higher Education Dato’ Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin at the end of the National Innovation Council meeting in Putrajaya on Monday.

Among those present at the event were the Minister of Energy, Green Technology and Water Dato’ Sri Peter Chin; Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili and Minister of Women, Families and Social Development Senator Dato’ Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil.

Deputy Vice Chancellor (Research and Innovation) Prof Dr Rahmah Mohamed, Director of SERI Prof Dr Kamaruzzaman Sopian and SERI’s Research Fellow, Dr Azimin SM Tazilan who developed the jacket were also present. Najib then tried on the vest.

UKM said the “extra” is for the additional feature of solar mosaic and “sighting” referred to the physical power of sight from the sun in generating colours for safety.

The vest is an application of UKM’s innovative solar energy technology, designed to solve the problem of conventional safety apparels such as jackets and vests used by police personnel or motorcyclists which currently have light reflectors that are visible only if the light beams fall on the reflector.

When there is insufficient light source such as on cloudy days, in shaded areas, or at night, the safety feature is almost zero.

“Our ecSIGHTING™ apparel gives an extra safety feature and other useful functions through the use of green and environment friendly technology. Embedded in the back of the vest is a solar panel with solar cells that directly convert energy from the sun into electrical energy through the process of photovoltaics.”

It said the electrical energy generated is stored in batteries kept in the pocket of the vest and is designed for 8 hours of continuous operation. The solar panel and the battery motherboard together make the innovative green technology product.

“By switching on the appropriate keys on the batteries, you can control the lights on the vest as well as the small torchlight. The market applications for ecSIGHTING™ apparel include enhancing safety on the roads and construction sites, as well as for use in areas with no electricity.”

The UKM statement said the green technology application used is mobile energy resource generation 1 where the research was done by the Solar Energy Research Institute (SERI) of UKM which was established in 2005.

With funding from the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI), Fundamental Research Grant Scheme from the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) and Research University Funding, scientists from SERI had developed state-of-the-art facilities in advanced solar cell fabrication and characterisation, solar thermal systems and zero energy architecture.

“We have also built a Green Technology Innovation Park which demonstrates a number of commercial scale solar energy systems for various applications in the agricultural, domestic and industrial sector.

“Presently, SERI has over 30 patents, 4 copyrights and 3 trademarks on solar related products. UKM has also established a start-up company for solar energy products,” the statement said.

SERI also studied the social impact of renewable energy system to ensure that their solar energy research is not only producing clean, environment friendly products, but is also creating employment and income for rural people.

“Currently we are promoting the use of solar drying systems for farmers in Trengganu and fisherman in Sabah. We have also helped develop a cottage industry for manufacturing photovoltaic panels in Terengganu.”

The statement also said the PV industry generated US$50 billion in global revenues in 2010 mostly in the application of grid connected systems and remote as well as rural electricification. Small scale innovative products such as street lighting, signages, recreational and safety products make up about 20 % of the revenue.

“We want to tap into this segment of the market by deepening research for improving the solar panel technology to produce greater wattage with miniaturization of the panel and reducing cost of production through quicker processing and whole value chain control,” it added.

The jacket was developed by SERI’s Research Fellow, Dr Azimin SM Tazilan.

Learning from tradition

By SHARMILLA GANESAN
star2green@thestar.com.my

FROM HERE!!!

Practicality, coupled with green sensibilities, defines this architect’s work.

AN architecture lecturer and inventor believes that a green lifestyle is something that has existed in Malaysia for hundreds of years, and just needs to be reintroduced again.

Architecture lecturer Dr Azimin Tazilan draws inspiration from traditional Malay lifestyle in his inventions.

Dr Azimin Tazilan, a senior lecturer and research fellow at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, was inspired by the traditional Malay lifestyle that surrounded him during his childhood in Perak to come up with several eco-friendly inventions that he hopes will someday be a regular part of our street architecture.

“Going green is not a trend. It started a long time ago. Traditional Malay houses, for example, didn’t need air-conditioning, because they were designed with excellent cross-ventilation and overhang roofs. Sometimes, in our rush to use ideas and innovations from somewhere else, we forget that we have many of the solutions right here in our own country,” says Azimin, 37, who exhibited several of his green inventions at the recently-held International Green Technology and Purchasing Conference 2010.

Among the creations he showed off there was the ecsCUBE, an eco-friendly street vendor booth. This portable booth, which comes with a self-contained solar unit, does not require electricity to run. The vendor operates from within the kiosk, which houses storage units and rubbish storing facilities. The booth can also slide out to create more space.

Azimin says the Government is currently curbing the activities of street vendors, due to their tendency to throw rubbish in the vicinity and become eyesores. He points out, however, that these street vendors are a very important part of Malaysian culture.

“Historically, we’ve had people selling food and other items by the roadside for over a hundred years. Growing up, it was such a big part of our childhood. So why does (the Government) want to remove something that is part of our culture? Look at countries like Indonesia and Thailand, the (roadside stalls) are part of their cities’ identities,” he says.

Multi-functional: The ecsPOSE is a multi-purpose streetlamp powered by solar cells. Its foldaway benches provide seating areas and it can be fitted with a handphone charging outlet and a loudspeaker for making announcements.

While he understands that the stalls can present not just aesthetic, but hygiene problems, he emphasises that moving the vendors into food courts is not the answer.

“We should give the vendors a solution that works for them, and at the same time is sustainable. Operating in a food court is completely different from being a mobile street vendor, because they build up a specific customer base. With the ecsCUBE, the vendors can continue to operate in the same way, but in a more eco-friendly manner,” he explains, adding that he has a few different versions of the street vendor booth in the works to suit different kinds of street businesses.

His inventions are a part of “micro-architecture”, a term he coined while working on his PhD. He uses the term to refer to elements of the urban landscape that are structures, but not permanent. Sustainability, he says, is key in developing microarchitectural elements.

“My obligation is to being green. In today’s world, eco-friendly elements have to be included into both architecture and micro-architecture,” he says.

Eco-friendly hawker stalls – the ecsCUBE (left) is solar-powered and has rubbish-storing facilities while the ecsPORT (right) is a mobile cabinet.

Another example of Azimin’s “green” inventions is an eco-friendly public toilet, the ecsTRACT. To make the facility as sustainable as possible, he turned to elements of traditional Malay architecture. The building, which runs on photovoltaic energy, is designed without a main door to create cross-ventilation, let in more light and disperse odours. The overhang butterfly roof further promotes ventilation while also working to harvest rainwater. A mini landscaped area planted with pandan and lemongrass helps eliminate unpleasant smells. Azimin also takes care to disturb the area’s natural landscape, such as plants, trees and rocks, as little as possible, and instead tries to include them in the overall design.

An interesting feature of the eco-toilet is that each toilet stall has a wall panel made of sandblasted glass, which is opaque but allows outlines to be seen through (similar to shower doors). The idea is to prevent vandalism, molestation and even uncivic behaviours like standing on the toilet seat, by giving the impression that someone may be able to discover what is going on. Being self-powered makes the toilet perfect for remote areas as well, making it a good option for the tourism industry. There is currently a version of the ecsTRACT in use at the Langkawi Geopark.

“Public toilets are usually built away from public spaces because of the smell, which causes vandalism and crime to occur there. I designed my eco-toilet to resemble a mini-resort, which can be built anywhere. There are even spaces for people to wait while their partner or companion uses the facilities,” Azimin explains.

This consideration for practical usage, coupled with green sensibilities, is a defining characteristic of Azimin’s work. Another of his creations, the ecsPOSE, embodies all these elements. Conceived as a eco-friendly multipurpose street post, the ecsPOSE is like a cross between a streetlamp and a roadside bench: solar panels collect energy during the day to light up the lamps at night, while foldaway benches provide seating areas. The panels also double up as shade for pedestrians. The post can be fitted with a whole host of necessities, such a handphone charging outlet and a loudspeaker for making announcements.

The ecsTRACT is a public toilet like no other. It is solar-powered and designed for good ventilation to prevent unpleasant smells

“Micro-architecture should be designed with practicality in mind. Why waste so much resources and energy making just a lamp post, when it can be multi-functional and even power itself? That is what being sustainable is about,” he says.

Ironically, coming up with these ideas was not the real challenge for Azimin. He discovered that commercialisation was the real hurdle. Ideally, he would like the Government’s support in making his inventions a part of Malaysians’ daily life. Getting the backing he needs, however, is easier said than done.

“Government agencies can be very close-minded. They hesitate when they see something different. Also, the bureaucracy involved makes the commercialisation process very slow,” he laments.

He isn’t giving up, however, especially since he has racked up various accolades for his innovations. The ecsTRACT bagged several gold medals at the British Invention Show 2007 in London, while the ecsPOSE received a gold medal at the International Invention, Innovation & Technology Exhibition 2009 in Kuala Lumpur, and a bronze at the Malaysia Technology Exhibition 2009. The ecsCUBE, on the other hand, landed the gold at the Malaysia Technology Exhibition 2009.

“The green movement is something that needs the whole country to get behind. I will keep trying, because I want to see my inventions on the street.”

KOLEJ TIPU PELAJAR DALAM BULETIN UTAMA - 5TH MARCH 2011

Saya terkesima... TUHAN bayar CASH!!!

Anda tahu kenapa? Kerana saya rasa, doa saya dan insan2 lain yang teraniaya telah dimakbulkan...

Slot Aduan Rakyat dalam Buletin Utama TV3 terpapar berita ‘Kolej Tipu Pelajar’... Seperti biasa, pastinya ada aksi student yang marah-marah, parents tak puas hati & PIHAK PENGURUSAN KOLEJ yang tak mahu ditemubual. Dalam slot itu, hanya ada Agent Student yang merecruit pelajar2 untuk mendaftar sahaja...

Bila saya risik2 daripada staf2 lama, kenapa sampai jadi begitu, jawapan mereka ialah:

“Biasa la kak, agent ambik student banyak2 sampai terlebih kuota, kolej masukkan studnet kursus lain. Kolej nak harapkan duit elaun student.”

Ianya program di bawah tajaan Kementerian belia & Sukan (KBS), 2 program yang saya bersusah-payah turun naik tangga HRDF & KBS di Putrajaya saban minggu. Program ini mempunyai kuota sendiri, tidak boleh lebih kerana setiap pelajar dibayar elaun.. Pada awalnya (2 tahun lepas), program ini adalah atas belas ehsan satu universiti kolej, usaha mereka meyakinkan pihak KBS yang program ini perlu dijalankan oleh East West College untuk ‘cost saving’ & memberi peluang pelajar dari luar bandar menikmati kelebihan yang diberikan pihak kerajaan.

Tapi manusia selalu ada sikap TAMAK, tidak pernah bersyukur apatah lagi berterima kasih. Bila hati berpaksikan $$$, manusia sanggup buat apa sahaja...

Salah satu entry saya suatu ketika dahulu pernah menyentuh soal ini, ada yang menyokong isu ini, ada juga yang mengatakan saya tidak patut membuka pekung tempat yang saya pernah diberi gaji. Tapi hari ini, satu Malaysia sudah tahu, berjuta-juta orang yang menonton Buletin Utama. Saya tidak gerun!!!

Ya, waktu entry itu saya paparkan di blog saya, saya menerima satu email & SMS berbaur ugutan. Bunyinya; “Jangan tunjuk bagus! Satu hari nanti kau akan jatuh, sampai bankrup, tinggal seluar dalam. Sampai laki kau pun tak inginkan kau.”

Untuk entry dulu, sila klik sini

Alhamdulillah, sampai ke hari ini, saya masih teguh, saya masih laku di arena ini, saya masih belum bankrup, seluar dalam pun bertambah-tambah... Dan yang paling penting, suami kesayangan saya masih teguh berdiri di sisi saya...

Saya bersama East West College tidak lama, dalam 6 bulan. Saya di’hire’ed oleh mereka. Saya ditawarkan position idaman saya selama ini, saya amat gembira, amat sekali. Bekerja di bawah satu nama besar walaupun diletakkan untuk menyelia kolej ‘bumiputera’.

Satu nama besar berada di belakang EWC, sekaligus sebagai ‘menteri kewangan’. Saya sukakan environment di EWC walaupun saya amat terkejut kerana hanya department saya yang mempunyai staff berpengalaman dari kolej swasta selain pensyarah. Tugas berat yang harus saya pikul kerana CEO juga bukan dari education field.

Tambah menyentak perasaan, pemiliknya pula Dato’ yang MUFLIS, yang amat tidak mahu mengakui hakikat itu. Yang punya mulut yang TIADA insurans langsung. Yang sering menganggap dirinya umpama Tuhan. Saya tidak tipu anda semua. Kalau anda tidak percaya, saya boleh berikan contact insan2 lain, yang saya tahu mereka tak akan menafikannya...

Saya amat tidak suka pada ketua yang suka menghaburkan maki-makian pada staff2 saya. Amat saya benci!!! Mereka juga manusia. Kalau saban hari kata2 kesat dihamburkan pada orang, suasana indah pasti berkocak. Saya menggemparkan suasana bila saya raised isu2 dalam kain pada yang pihak yang sepatutnya. Mereka patut tahu kerana saya diberi amanah untuk menggubal polisi. Mereka patut tahu yang satu staff saya telah dikidnap oleh insan berhati busuk ini, diletakkan di depan biliknya sebagai penyeri kononnya dan kerana itu, kerja2 saya tergendala. Saya pula yang kena buat kerja Eksekutif!!! Hello, saya di hired as Registrar!!! Bila saya bersuara, bila ianya di’minit’kan di dalam meeting, orang tua itu mula main kasar dengan saya. Dia kata saya boleh guna staff saya bila diperlukan. Dan bila saya memberi kerja, fuh!!! Saya kena menahan telinga mendengar maki-hamun dia, kata2 lucah yang buat saya jijik memandangnya. Konon berstatus Dato’ (walaupun dah MUFLIS!!!), tapi mulut, mak oii!!! Pernah sekali, saya dibaling dengan buku-buku tebal dan entah apa2 lagi barang yang ada di atas meja dia kerana saya beri kerja pada staff kesayangannya...

Dato' Murad - the owner of East West College Seremban, with the blue shirt

Ya, saya tidak tahan melayan kerenahnya tapi itu bukan sebab utama mengapa saya pergi. Saya amat tidak bersetuju bila pengambilan & kemasukan pelajar diawalkan walhal ianya masih dalam status menanti kelulusan dari MOHE. Saya berusaha sehabis kudrat untuk mendapatkan kelulusan tapi yalah, bila buka mata & tutup mata hanya nampak $$$, apalah yang boleh saya katakan... 3 bulan bukanlah jangkamasa yang lama untuk program mendapat kelulusan daripada MQA. Ada yang terpaksa menunggu sehingga setahun ok!!! Saya sudah menggunakan segala contact yang ada untuk itu, ya, kerana saya dibayar kerana itu!!!

Pertama, program dijalankan lebih awal dari kelulusan yang diberi. Itu akan memberi impak besar pada student. Lainlah kalau di kolej2 yang rata2 studentnya bayar sendiri, MBF (Mak Bapak Finance).. jadi tak perlu risau sebab tiada siapa yang akan minta salinan surat kelulusan MOHE & MQA untuk pembayaran yuran melalui EPF, dan apa2 sahajalah. Dan kerana itu, PTPTN pun jauh sekalilah mahu dapat kan!!!

Kedua, surat tawaran kepada pelajar SAYA yang signed ok!!! Saya tidak mahu ianya menimbulkan kesan yang amat tidak baik pada nama saya. Orang lain bolehlah bercakap itu ini, tapi kalau offer letter tu dibawa ke hulu ke hilir, saya yang kena menjawab.

Ketiga, bila program KBS kali pertama berjaya, kali kedua sedang dijalankan, EWC berkira2 untuk batch ke 3 tetapi belum mendapat apa2 details dari KBS. Tapi banyak agents telah dilantik untuk mencari students. Agent2 ini perlu sesuatu untuk meyakinkan pelajar & keluarga, tambahan pula mahu masuk ke kampung2, mesti kena ada sesuatu untuk meyakinkan orang, kan? Dihambatnya saya untuk keluarkan surat tawaran program KBS!!! Hello!!! Saya tiada kuasa sebegitu ok??? Surat tawaran KBS hanya daripada KBS, bukan dari kolej. Bila saya tidak mahu, macam2 lah yang jadi.

Saya merujuk hal ini pada kenalan2 saya di MOHE, MQA dan pihak yang sepatutnya. Teman saya di MOHE naik angin dan minta saya keluar dari kolej itu secepat mungkin. Saya juga tidak fikir panjang, saya kumpulkan segala bukti untuk menyelamatkan nama baik saya. Waktu kekusutan itu berlaku, banyak lamaran yang saya terima. Saya amat terharu. Namun saya tidak mahu terlalu jauh walaupun $$$ yang ditawarkan, adalah yang TERAMAT BAIK setakat hari ini. TERLALU BAIK, ok, tapi saya memikirkan keluarga saya. Azimin hampir siap thesisnya dan itu bermakna, masa saya untuk berkejar-kejar dari Enstek ke KL / PJ hampir tamat tempoh.

Huh... kalau CEO pun tidak tahan, kalau CEO pun cabut, apa lagi yang boleh saya kata? Hampir semua staff yang bermula dari awal pergi meninggalkan EWC. Sebenarnya, ramai yang diberi notice 24 jam apabila pihak yang lebih berkuasa memutuskan untuk menghentikan fundingnya. Jadi, ramai staff yang cabut & pergi secara terhormat...

Itulah hati saya. Saya amat tidak suka bila diminta melanggar prinsip saya. I am a policy maker, and jangan suruh saya buat perkara2 yang tidak betul ok?

Kini segalanya terbukti. East West College sudah masuk berita, bak kata bapa pada pelajar yang ditemuramah itu, “Ingatkan nak tolong melayu, masuk kolej melayu, rupanya melayu tipu melayu.” ... Ya pakcik, saya juga TERTIPU.. Saya beralih dari kolej besar ternama, membawa akal yang sarat pengalaman, untuk berbakti pada bangsa sendiri. Mahu tolong anak Melayu, sebab itu saya memilih untuk bersama kolej2 Melayu, KLMU, EWC & kemudianya KPJIC.. Kerana saya mahu tolong Melayu. Tapi, saya kecewa kerana niat murni saya itu tidak dihargai, malah disuruh buat benda2 mengarut...

Tapi, saya masih kagum dengan Dato’ Idrus Satha (Presiden KLMU)... Anda tahu, dia amat berhemah dengan staffnya, tak kiralah siapa, walau sekadar receiptionist... Dan, saya rasa amat dihargai bilamana beliau sudi menziarah saya di bilik saya waktu sedang sibuk hari pendaftaran. Saya menguruskan pendaftaran beribu2 pelajar yg waktu itu secara manual, ok? Jadi, bila big boss datang bawa Starbuck ice-blended kegemaran saya, saya sungguh HAPPY. Sebab itu juga, saya akan belanja staff2 saya dinner tiap kali kami kena bekerja FULL DAY, 9am – 9pm... Kalau dapat big boss baik, kita pun boleh baik dengan staff kan? Saya meninggalkan KLMU bukan kerana kecewa, saya tinggalkan KLMU kerana saya ditawarkan sesuatu yang lebih baik dari Taylors... Itu yang perlu semua orang tahu... Dan, saya meninggalkan TERUS arena ini kerana saya tidak sanggup terus melayan kerenah $$$ yang bertopengkan orang MELAYU!!! Saya JEMU!!!
