dari ChangkatNingkeBTP Article from Joceline Tan of The Star PKR is facing its most happening election since its formation and the high stakes contest between its star Azmin Ali and high-flying lawyer Datuk Zaid Ibrahim has taken centrestage. THE temperature in PKR is rising. The fight for the party’s deputy president post has become the hot topic at the Hari Raya gatherings. Some people have been all hot under the collar over the accusations and counter-accusations going on between supporters of Datuk Zaid Ibrahim and Azmin Ali. As such, when secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution was hospitalised last week, some thought he had crumpled under the pressure of the party’s first direct elections. The top man’s preference: Anwar’s legal hurdles will play a big part in determining whether he prefers Azmin (left) or Zaid (right) as the next deputy president. Saifuddin had been travelling all over the country - Perlis one day, Sabah the next, as he put it - to make preparations for the divisio...

dari ChangkatNingkeBTP In this blessed month of Ramadan, we have now come to the grand finale – the last ten days of Ramadan that are even more blessed than the rest of Ramadan. In it is a night that Quran tells us is better than 1000 months (yes, months – not days). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "There has come to you Ramadan, a blessed month which Allah has enjoined you to fast, during which the gates of heaven are opened and the gates of Hell are closed, and the rebellious devils are chained up. In it there is a night which is better than a thousand months, and whoever is deprived of its goodness is indeed deprived.” Narrated by al-Nasa’i, 2106; Ahmad, 8769. classed as saheeh by al-Albani in Saheeh al-Targheeb, 999. So, in preparation for the grand finale, here is a checklist of some of the things that we can all do to make the remaining days of Ramadan work to our advantage – 1) Get in high gear for the next 10 nights and days – Time i...

dari ChangkatNingkeBTP Sejak kebelakangan ini sudah hangat diperkatakan calon-calon untuk mengisi barisan kepimpinan FAM diperkatakan. Maklumlah, FAM merupakan persatuan yang besar pengaruhnya walaupun tidak secemerlang mana prestasi pasukan kebangsaan jika dibandingkan dengan sukan-sukan lain di Malaysia seperti badminton, squash, hoki dan lumba basikal yang telah bertaraf dunia. Boleh dikatakan sebahagian besar calon untuk kerusi Timbalan Presiden dan Naib Presiden merupakan ahli-ahli politik termasuk seorang calon dari ahli parlimen bebas. Ini menunjukkan bahawa terdapat juga satu tarikan politik untuk menduduki kerusi ini yang ada kalanya boleh menjadi masalah kepada perjalanan FAM. Pasukan bolasepak kebangsaan di semua peringkat masih ditahap rendah dengan kedudukan ke 145 dunia setakat ini. Walaupun begitu, terdapat sedikit peningkatan walaupun tidaklah sehebat mana. Kejayaan seperti memenangi pingat emas Sukan SEA dan yang terbaru menewaskan skuad Olimpik Korea 1-0 bukan kayu u...

dari ChangkatNingkeBTP Congrats to the Spain football team as they won 1-0 against the spirited Dutch at this morning WC Final. As a Reds its truly amazing to see Torres & Pepe Reina won the World Cup. As also the ex-Reds of Alonso and Arbeloa. Sorry for Kuyt and Babbel in the Dutch contingent ... who guys had tried your best. Several Reds performed admirably in the WC2010 namely Skrtel (Slovakia), Agger (Denmark), Mascherano (Argentina -captain) and not to be forgotten the English duo of Gerrard (the captain) and Jamie Carragher. However the Spanish are truly great. A reversed 0-1 to the Swiss as only a temporary blip. They move to won mostly 1-0 till the final. They were several reasons they're better than the English team who were considered as favorites: 1. Spain have 3 ... I repeat, THREE world class goalkeepers. Apart from Iker the Captain, they have the penalty-stopper expert in Pepe Reina of Liverpool. The third keeper? The Barcelona custodian, Valdes. England? NONE 2. ...

dari ChangkatNingkeBTP This is my first comment on the on-going World Cup. As I'm writing this stuff, WC2010 is on its final days. Tomorrow will be the 'nobody cares' 3rd place play-off between Uruguay & Germany. The day after is the final of Netherlands & Spain. Let me focus on the all-conquering Three Lions. The even plan to stage a mammoth rally should they win the WC! Well No Worry The England's team dismal performance in the World Cup is not without reasons. Lots of them. This is my comment published in the Malay Mail Online on July 5 2010: 1. No world class keepers. 2. Slow-response centerbacks in Terry & Ferdinand ... or Upson (almost relegated) or Carragher (getting slower) or King (injury prone) and Dawson (not playing) 3. A right back who do not know how to defend ...aka. ... Johnson 4. A left back who supposed to be the best in the world ...Ash cole? 5. A useless Gareth Barry. Only rated by the BPL overrated & over commercialized media 6. A ...

dari ChangkatNingkeBTP Pada setiap Jumaat, selepas selesai menunaikan solat Jumaat, seorang Imam dan anaknya yang berumur 7 tahun akan berjalan menyusuri jalan di kota itu dan menyebarkan risalah bertajuk "Jalan-jalan Syurga" dan beberapa karya Islamik yang lain. Pada satu Jumaat yang indah, pada ketika Imam dan anaknya itu hendak keluar seperti biasa meghulurkan risalah-risalah Islam itu, hari itu menjadi amat dingin dan hujan mulai turun. Anak kecil itu mula membetulkan jubahnya yang masih kering dan panas dan seraya berkata "Ayah! Saya dah bersedia" Ayahnya terkejut dan berkata "Bersedia untuk apa?". "Ayah bukankah ini masanya kita akan keluar menyampaikan risalah Allah" "Anakku! Bukankah sejuk keadaan di luar tu dan hujan juga agak lebat" "Ayah bukankah masih ada manusia yang akan masuk neraka walaupun ketika hujan turun" Ayahnya menambah "Ayah tidak bersedia hendak keluar dalam keadaan cuaca sebegini" Dengan mer...

dari ChangkatNingkeBTP By Syed Jaymal Zahiid PKR might be seen as the lynchpin for Pakatan Rakyat (PR) but last Sunday’s Hulu Selangor by-election has revealed its partners to be equally effective as the pact’s driving force. PKR put up Datuk Zaid Ibrahim as the candidate, promoting his national stature in all their campaigns, but lost to MIC’s P. Kamalanathan, who was voted in with a 1,725-vote majority on mainly Malay and Indian support. While PKR’s campaign was marred by news of party members defecting almost on a daily basis, both PAS and the DAP remained solid in terms of both supporter loyalty and organisational prowess. It is understood that contrary to denials by PKR leaders that the defections were of no impact to its campaign, the resignation of one of its leaders — Hulu Selangor PKR division treasurer, Dr Halili Rahmat — had almost brought the party’s machinery to a total halt. “For PAS, the campaign was organised in three waves. For the first wave, it was generally agreed ...
