Kak Wok - Pembantu Rumah Yang Setia

Kebelakangan ini acap kali kita disajikan dengan berita-berita mengerumkan mengenai pembantu rumah.Penderaan majikan terhadap perkerja asing mendapat publisiti meluas dimedia cetak kita malah adakala terlebih sensasi sehinggakan memecah minda kita akan kezaliman manusia terhadap manusia lain.Begitu juga kisah penderaan anak-anak majikan sewaktu majikan mereka melangkah keluar dari rumah untuk kekantor.
Seringkali teman-teman mengeloh akan susahnya untuk mendapat seorang pembantu rumah yang bersesuaian.
Malah ada juga teman yang bernasib baik yang mempunyai pembantu yang benar-benar tawaduk dan dapat menyesuaikan diiri sepenohnya dengan keluarga yang menyara mereka.Pembantu-pembantu tersebut bukan hanya dapat menjalankan tugas yang diharapkan daripada mereka tetapi mereka juga mampu memberikan bonus servis tambahan sambil tekun beribadat dan dapat mengajar mengaji QURAN kepada anak-anak majikan dan memberikan sepenoh kasih-sayang dan perhatian seumpama ibu-bapa jati kepada anak-anak tersebut sewaktu majikan tidak berada dirumah.

Problem ini merupakan masallah 'universal'.Kami walaupun tidak mempunyai anak kecil tetapi memerlukan pembantu yang dapat menemani ibu tua kami sewaktu semua seharian keluar mencari rezeki.Alhamdullilah,udah 3 tahun bersama,sekadar mampu mengurus hal rumah-tangga yang diamanahkan kepadanya.

Di awal tahun-tahun 60'an,kita tidak mempunyai pembantu yang diimport.
Penduduk Malaysia sebagai negara yang baru tersedar daripada cengkaman penjajah belum mampu mengimport pembantu dari luar.
Kita merupakan bekas pembantu rumah kepada 'Tuan-Tuan dan Mum-mum Setengah' .Sedih tapi benar.Kita diperkudakan oleh mereka.

Putaran ekonomi masih ditahap gear satu,walau bagaimana pun kesan daripada pendidikan awal kepada anak-anak pribumi,telah berjaya menujudkan suatu golongan 'Kelas Menengah Melayu Bandar'.
Mereka-mereka ini merupakan golongan 'pioneers' dalam segala bidang,seterusnya merupakan mentor kita dalam membina diri seterusnya berbakti demi 'Nation building'.

Golongan inilah pioneers di kawasan perumahan baru ditengah-tengah kota.
Persekitaran PJ old Town -Jln Othman,Jln Gasing,PJ Kawasan Kg.Tungku,Sect.14 merupakan penempatan bagi golongan pioneers pada waktu itu.Tahun-tahun 70'an,kawasan-kawasan baru ujud untuk anak-anak golongan pre dan post merdeka.
Penempatan baru saperti Kelana Jaya,Subang Jaya adalah by product 'ecomonic boom' DEB.
Maka,Tuan-puan baru yang berhijrah ke pusat bandaraya mememerlukan pembantu.
Awal 70'an Malaysia merupakan 'a nation of Clerks'.Tahun-tahun pertengahan 70'an,JPA melalui 'Operasi Isi Penoh' telah berjaya mengisi kurang lebih perbagai 30,000 jawatan 'rank and file' dalan masa 1 tahun.

Masallah pembantu kepada Tuan-Puan baru sudah ujud tika itu,maka jalan lintas untuk mengatasinya ialah memgimport saudara-mara perempuan yang pendidikan mereka sekadarnya,untuk membantu seisi keluarga.Tetapi dengan keujudan kilang-kilang yang mememerlukan tenaga kerja maka focus anak-anak saudara yang dibawa untuk membantu rumah tangga dikota bertukar.Tidak dapat dipersalahkan anak-anak yang dibawa ke kota kerana menumpang periok nasi saudara-saudara dikota sebagai pembantu rumah amat tercorot didalam resuma mereka.

Mereka ingin berdiri diatas kaki sendiri.Maka penhijarahan mereka sebagai pembantu dirumah saudara-saudara mereka waktu itu hanyalah 'transit point' sementara mendapat peluang berkerja dikilang-kilang spt. Texas Instrument,Motorola atau mana-mana kilang yang memerlukan pekerja dengan gaji dan kemudahan yang amat sederhaha.

Masallah ini tidak berlaku kepada ibu saudara saya yang bertugas sebagai Matron di GBKL sehingga bersara.Mereka suami- isteri bekerja sehingga pencen dan mempunyai 5 anak-anak yang sudah dewasa.Sehingga kini mereka mempunyai seorang pembantu yang berkhidmat sehingga akhir hayatnya.Masih tetap bersama mereka dari permulaan mereka mendirikan rumah tangga sehingga kini anak-anak yang dijaganya udah berrumah tangga dan mempunyai anak.

Kak Wok.merupakan anak yatim piatu sejak kecil, bersekolah hanya setakat Darjah 3 Sek.Melayu.Seingatan saya,Kak Wok sudah berada didalam keluarga semenjak saya belum bersekolah lagi.Dimana ibu saudara dan suaminya bertugas ia akan turut bersama.Kesemua anak-anaknya diasoh,dimanjakan dan diurus sebaik mungkin oleh Kak Wok sejak mereka dilahirkan.
Anak-anak ibu saudara saya tersebut kesemuanya telah berjaya dan telah pun mendirikan rumah tangga.

Kak Wok tidak pernah berkahwin dan tidak mempunyai ahli keluarga yang lain.Umurnya sekitar 60'an sekarang.Amat sedikit saya mengetahui tentang sejarah hidupnya.Tapi yang saya pasti, Kak Wok merupakan contoh terbaik dapat saya bandingkan dengan pembantu-pembantu sekarang.Dia bukan sahaja redha dengan tugannya sebagai pembantu rumah tetapi khidmat yang diberinya penoh dedikasi dan ikhlas.Bukan hanya itu malah dia redha akan segala tenaga yang diberinya kepada keluarga yg.membelanya.Bila ditanya akan kesihatanya kini,jawapan yang diberi amat mudah

'....sekiranya ajal saya sudah tiba,kebumikan saya bersebelahan dengan majikan saya.

Apa kah rahsia Kak Wok sehingga begitu akrab degan majikannya?
Jawapannya ikhlas seikhlas-ikhlasnya dengan apa-apa tugas dan amanah yang diberi oleh majikan kita.

The Satay House - Almarhum Pak Jaffar Shawal

ole...Satay House.
My thought came rambling again after a retro visit to Jogja and Bandung last week.Have a personel survillence after the much publish cold shoulder given by some of our distant cousin dari seberang.
No issue in matter of fact.Traders welcome their distant cousins with open arms.
Pak Beca make a living with the guest volume.Tipping generously out of sympathy.Generous,yes we are to our much needed cousins.
Jogjakarta as hippish as ever and Bandung as trendiest as ever.
Its Paris Van Java and it sure does.

Adooooo !!!Sunda beauty dong !!!

I try to stay out of Jakarta.Indonesia is not Jakarta.
My network in Indo is good.
Good opportunities too.On that score,its the other side of the coin.

Again,I'm barking at the wrong tree,its not about Bandung or Bromo or Jogjakarta I wish to write about but about a man,a petit in size man,moustacho and very focus.
The quite Gentleman,I may say,a positive altitude with full vision on buisness.Aided or I would rather say together with his beloved wife,brave the storm and thunder on the battle field of Sussex Garden,Paddington,London W 1 till his last breath.

Pak Jaffar Shawal,arrive on shore of good ole England during the post 60's era.
Alone only on one mission,that is how could a Malay from Penang excel in buisness in the United Kingdom?
Rolling and tumbling leaving his beloved wife Aunty Zaharah,an I.O with our Police Force at home then.He succesed to open the very first Malay Restaurant in the middle of metropolis London,battling his buisness anchorman with guts and sheer determination.

The birth of Satay House serving the local dishes was an instant hit among the hungry student and Malaysian community population then.It serve as a joint,for us student far away from mother land and mother's cooking.For those who have,its the place to water down their tummy with The Nasi Kandar Uncle's Special and to those whom do not have like me serve as a place where extra pocket money comes in handy serving as a waiter or kitchen helper,helping Uncle,the main Chef and Mummy Zaharah in the kitchen either in summer or me all year round as a part time waiter.

It was winter 1980,I first work part time as a waiter at the Satay House.
Pak Jaffar and mummy (as I call Aunty Zaharah,together with the young one,Onn and Harun and Liza and Ikram the present Satay House chef was still in their infant.
The three Onn,Harun and Lisa was well train by both Bapak(as I call Arwah Pak Jaffar)and Mummy Zaharah,especially Liza the only daughter was taught from the very tender age of table arrangement and where folk,knife and spoon and napkins suppose to be set.Liza is the most focus as far as I could recall.
I remembered well,at her tender age,she taught me to knot the paper napkins,neatly folded shape like a fan.A serious little gal then.

The restaurant open its doors at 12noon for lunch time and last order at 2.30pm,opens its door again at 6pm till the last order at 10.30.
I work in the evening.I have to catch the last train at 11pm to Balham via Bakerloo line at Edgware Road tube station changing for Northern Line at Elephant & Castle.
Missing the last train means I have to take the Red Arrow Nite bus at Trafalga Square.

Kitchen staff then was Uncle Jalil,as I call him 'Unkelek',for what reason I dont know,an Indian Muslim origin.A long service staff and the first chef of Satay House.His curry mutton and rendang a class of his own.You find your hands licking after his curry,especially in winter.The sambal belacan and his curry goes together well to keep the hungry tummy and body warm especially in winter.

Asisting him then was an Indonesian immigrant but left after a few months and a few of my buddies whom work part-time during the long summer break earning jes to save up for a new set of Hi-Fi.
Kitchen staff keep changing.Kitchen staff pinching was normal then as between 1982 onward after the success of Satay House being the pioneer Malay Restaurant in the middle of west end,strings of so call Malaysian Restaurant sprang up through out the Soho up till Swiss Cottage/Hempstead Heath area,with various variation of curry and rendang.
Suddenly,the Malaysian population and Mat Salleh's has lots of Malaysian Restaurant as a choise.
It was Pak Jaffar anchorman and vision that make the Malaysian cuisine be known in the West End.He steps in at the right time with sheer hard work and determination.

Together with mummy Zaharah,the combination works well.
Mummy Zaharah , she's a hardworking,persistent strong lady.It must be tHe regimentation grooming in the force which make her one.
Working round the clock non stop.
I remember,the Malaysian economic boom in 1984-85 well.
Her porcelain rose buisness was blooming.There was porceline roses everywhere in her petit flat above the Satay House,where the family retire after closing time.
Small and charm but beautiful.I reckon that was the order of the day then.

I was waitering Satay House table before Satay House was renovated.
The cellar downstairs was converted into sitting of 10 extra table.
Up stairs,orginally it could only accomodate 10 tables only.
A sardine pack on buzy week-end,serving regulars mainly from the rich Brunei scholars then.
Harun and Onn was still at primary schooling age,not much aid they could give to their persisten,determine loving parents then.
Mummy Zaharah was heavy pregneant with Ikhram.
The operation of the restaurant was a team work effort.
The team at times was crumbbling due to staff pinching or untrain staff.

Uncle Jalil,the head Chef was having visa problem with the immigration authority.
At a stage,I could feel mummy Zaharah and Pak Jaffar was having tremendous pressure from the operation of the restaurant then.
High number of staff leaving in short notice was normal.
Mummy was force to be in the kitchen after delivery of Ikhram to see the operation goes through,no matter how,the doors remains open to the regulars 7 days a week to see the OD they have taken on the Restaurant renovation goes through without a pinch.

Allah with the persistent and the determination.
Allah the all hearing and are with the strong,the brave such as the one Almarhum Pak Jaffar and Mummy Zaharah.
The Satay House still stands tall among the listing of Malaysian Restaurant in the West End today.

To Liza and Ikhram,the present caretaker and the operator of the Satay House,this is what I have to say:

'Mana-mana organisasi yang dapat bertahan melebihi 30 tahun,ianya layak memerima anugerah Kahzanah Bangsa dan Negara,kerana Restaurant Tuan telah dapat meyakinkan kepada dunia bahawa "Tak Akan Melayu Hilang Didunia"


Al.Fatiha.

Tuan Jaffar Shawal
Pengasas Restaurant Melayu Pertama Di United Kindgom "The Satay House"

Ayah Ku Kawin Lagi - Ayah Ku Pegi Aji.

It was over 40 years ago ayah decided to remarry again ending his single father status.Remember well the happy go lucky single father bringing up 3 tots children single handedly with a mere Risda clerk pay base on Suffian Report pay scheme.
Its something between $180 a month,I think.

Me,being the eldest to two other sisters was groom with no branded jeans except tailored made long pants by the perfect work of Hj.Manaf of 'AZAM TAILOR' and white shirts from Bee Loon ready made and the shops still at it presence humble beginning site at Lorong Bukit Cina but has expanded over the years all over the country mega mall.
Hj.Manaf has been my tailor since my wee lad days.
My first tailored suit for my England trip was hand made by 'Hj.Manaf The Tailor'.
Attire ethique was strictly observed by ayah.
Hair cream and body talcum powder a must.Off Raya morning with smartly polish Bata shoes goes along well with Hj.Manaf tailored trouses and the white shirt being reused again as my school shirt after Raya.

Suddenly,after joyeous yearly routine on Raya's with ayah,the daily bath personally by him in the morning before off to school,the morning dressing up,the dinner together with my single father stops abruptly and out off a sudden.
Ayah no longer at home with us.
We have to mend life to school all by ourself.
I was too young to understand why ayah left us suddenly.
However,ayah is always there sending us off to school in the morning and evening he will drop by after his daily dose of tennis game at the Bukit Baru Tennis Club but he no longer at home, reading the newspaper while we finishes our school home work.
His personnel home tution given to me on my weak subject also stop.

I was totally lost.
Seeing ayah morning and evening but he is not at home while we were asleep as he used to at night kept a 10 year lad puzzle,keeping together a 7 and 5 years sister together is another sodding tale.
Remember well,the day I confront him asking him why is he no longer with us at home.It was not a riddle but a straight question from a 10 year old lad

'......ayah,....ayah kahwin lagi ya!!!!!!!!!!

He was stunn by the question.
He didnt answer the question.
I presumed the answer was 'Yes',suddenly the pearl drops without invitation.

The rest was history.

May 2009 - 7 am

My usual wake up call at 6.30 am.
Normal morning routine procedure like any other morning.Nothing unusual.
Suddenly a call came in at 7am.It was ayah's voice.

I must say,very-very-very-very very rare and unusual for ayah to call his 3 children.Not only to me but both my sisters as well.
Not at 7 am.From my past experience,call that early only an emergency informing death of imediate members of the family.

I remembered his no normal greeting over the phone.
Not a commanding voice and ayah has never been a commanding father.
His advise to children will always begin with a field trip for Rojak and Satay Wak Temu with big glasses of Air Temu to go with ,right up front facing the famous 'A Famosa'.

After eating,straight into the car.
We will be in his old white VW bettle for his prep talk,park some where along,the Famosa or the front sea-side ,me glaring at the open sea of Strait of Malacca,somewhere over there is Sumatra.

My performance,my behavouir,my grade etc.etc.The normal fatherly advise.
Never ever my beloved father cane or shouted at me or shunn or humilate me in public despite me a mischievious lad myself.

Never Ever.

The phone call from ayah that morning stun me.Straight to the point informing me.

'.....'Will.....aku nak pegi Aji tahun ni.'

I was stun !!! the request coming from ayah.
I wanted to sujud sadah right away.

My simple answer was'.....ayah jangan kuatir...biar Mie uruskan.
Right away I was at Tabung Haji HQ,Ampang as the first customer of the day enquiring for my ayah haj trip.Deposited the required amount and total amount which we pool together to see ayah's trip to Haj.this year.

Waiting patiently over the month,the reply from TH management for his application status.Mind you,ayah does not even have a Tabung Haji account and we have to open one for him.Knowing fully well,ayah clerk pay package are all spend on his schooling age children,even though we do not live under one roof together.
All his children needs are well look after and care for.


Monday 28th Sept.2009 bersamaan 7 Shyawal.

Tabung Haji reply :

I did the sujud saadah after reading the confirmation letter.

Terima Kasih Ya.Allah.

Akhir Sebuah Impian - Simply Classic

Well check up the whole film in youtube as well



Klassik.......seni itu milik semua.
Bukan milik persendirian.
Kami hargai interlectual property,daya creativitas dan kesempurnaan pembikinan.
Kami kagum.

It was 30 overs years I saw this classic film by Almarhum Benyamin S,late Broery Marantika and Emilia Countessa.Man....the Savoy cinema was pack full for the whole month.The music by Favariote Group remain evergreen. Simply classic for a Form 2 boys then. TV programme was still at it infancy. Love Farok Afero acting always the baddies character.His punch line ' jangan kau minta ubatnya dari aku !!! when his son Broery met an accident which causes Emelia blind.A nostalgic rerun for those in the fities.Those era of 'Casablanca' sort of movie.

Memory dulu kembali lagi

AKU

Kalau sampai waktuku
Ku mau tak seorang kan merayu
Tidak juga kau
Tak perlu sedu sedan itu
Aku ini binatang jalang Dari kumpulannya terbuang
Biar peluru menembus kulitku
Aku tetap meradang menerjang Luka dan bisa kubawa berlari
Berlari Hingga hilang pedih peri
Dan aku akan lebih tidak perduli
Aku mau hidup seribu tahun lagi
