Happy Day a Bit !!!



hmmmmm...a bit smiling faces.

Right....roger and what next ?

The law application was right Yang Arif.

Appeal,you may but till when will this game ends ?

Fresh Election the only answer.

The rakyat need to work lah YB?

And counselor Dato,pemakaian bahasa sewaktu ditemu bual oleh pemberita bukan 'beliau' tetapi harus merujuk kepada 'Pekenan Baginda'.

Gunakan bahasa yang betul Dato Counselor,tidak tertib merujuk Tuanku sebagai 'Beliau'

Adap Dato Counselor,adap !!

One of the subject and am sure all in the legal fractinity uphold is 'Legal Etiquette' inparticular in the language usage either in English or in Malay.

'Ladies glow'
'Gentleman prespire'
'Only horses sweat'

Merafak Sembah Menjunjung Kasih Tuanku.

Merafak Sembah Menjunjung Kasih Tuanku,

Didalam penggulungan perintah Tuanku didalam kes

PENGARAH TANAH DAN GALIAN, WILAYAH PERSEKUTUAN V. SRI LEMPAH ENTERPRISE SDN BHD [CIVIL APPEAL NO. 94 OF 1978]
dan masih terpakai akan precedent tersebut hingga kini.

Ampun Tuanku,adapun tiada kesangsian akan taat setia patek yang hamba dina ini megutip akan inti pati hujah Tuanku yang amat-amat bernas itu.

'...unfettered discretion is a contradiction in terms...Every legal power must have legal limits,otherwise there is dictatorship...'

Ampun Tuanku,

kurang lebih begitulah kutipan daripada pengulunggan penghakiman Tuanku yang penoh berhemah lagi bijaksana.
Adapun hamba rakyat menjunjung kasih,janji taat setia yang tidak berbelah bagi terhadap Tuanku Paduka Sri.

Menjunjung Kasih Tuanku.

Ampun Tuanku.

Quite..... Pleased you are in a Library !!

Since my wee lad years,quite often I used The Dewan Hang Tuah public library in my home town.I remember having to fork out $6.00 fine for late return of a book I borrowed.It was adventure of Sinbad,if I'm not mistaken.

It was a big sum for a 13 years old lad.Some how I managed.
The Dewan Hang Tuah state library employed 2 full time librarian.
I couldn't recall their name,but one a Chinese serve as the librarian and coordinates the in and out activities of patrons and an Indian man acts as a clerk.

One must be aware it was an era where Charted Librarianship Programme was unheard of in my little sleepy hollow town,Malacca.
Library service was done manually,micro chips was much later introduced in the library around 1975.
Most search was done via cataloge card stock at one corner of the library.

Tempang,the Chinaman,as he was known to us was the librarian whom not only enforces the law to patron to keep quite but he ensure no nonsense in his library,such as eating chewing gum,which we would cheekly stick it underneath the reading table out of mischievous act.Anybody caught,redhanded a sistem of fine of 10 cents and subsequently 3 times panelty will be remove from librarian membership.
Such was the dracanion law introduce wee back then.

Netherless,we digest,we quest and meet new social friends of our age group.
And later,we march to Cafe 101 or Snowwhite for a cokefloat,if only the federal minor scholarship was credited in time.
It was a era of no browsing the google and whack-tech gizmo.

Library etiquette was instill in us, since we were lad.
As far as I could remember,no torn pages on most books I borrowed from the library. Some of it is really out of date and published circa 1940.
Netherless we enjoyed the book or rather the trip of the library becaused I am certain 99.9% of homes then, do not have a library at home.
One would be lucky to find daily newspaper,either Utusan,Berita or if its a English specking home there would be NST.At home it was Utusan Melayu in JAWI which arwah Tok Wak bought daily and the only source of news back then.
Nevetheless,I diguest the news in Jawi.

I left home town, quest for adventure.
During my student days in London,the library vist and usage is a must and frequent.
It was at the polytech library which open my neive eyes the quest of KNOWLEDGE grew.
The condusive enviroment,the new ways of library research plus the content in the library facinates me.
I would escape the cold and hide myself at one corner,not nessary studying but jes to brows the Guardian,Daily Telegraf,The Times or even the New York Post to escape the cold.

Library research was still at it infancy.Still uses the micro-negetive slide.Cataloging was still in card-boxes but....
The library ethiques are maintain.Thats is,Quite Pleased'!

The Maryleborne Library along the Maryleborne Rd., where Karl Marx wrote his bible the 'DAS KAPITAL'
was my hide away when serious studying needed,particularly during exam fever.
The chairs and tables where Karl Marx sat were mark and noted by the Library administrative and I am sure it is still there.
The Maryleborne Library is where I borrowed most of the old Blues collection,ie.the rare copies of Muddy Waters,TJ Hooker,Slim Walter,etc LP's and retape it for my personnel collection which I still have it till this day and were stack away in my attic.
Its capacity daily are mostly 3/4 full,but one couldn't hear a word of wishper if one in there.In other words is Silence Pleased, You are In the Library

I venture out at the spacious and classic library of University of London at Goutch Street off Totteham Court Rd.
Its tables arrangement with a study light on each table,facinates me and it is cozy.It was here I wanted so much to brows our Salutus Saltin by Hamzah Fansuri.
I couldn't find it but the trip was memoriable one cause it expands my horizan of what a University library should be like.
It was still the no goggle search era but the library ethic shows what scholar are made of.'
They are made of Libraries where they frequent.

Many more libraries I venture to,University of Bologne,Italy,University of Soubourn in Paris,University of Leiden,Holland etc etc.
Entering any one of it one of them, one would feel the scholalistic air a breath.
The etiquette maintain 'QUITE PLEASED YOUR ARE IN A LIBRARY'

I am a frequent user of both our national university library.
Both are law libraries.A faculty of Law name after him and the other a library.
Both libraries derives from a same source ,highly scholar and both libraries are name after him for his contribution in society and the development of Malaysian Legal System particularlly the development of Shariah laws.
The name of the late Tan Sri Ahmad Ibrahim stands tall in the league of nations.

For years I have observed law student of the university concerned.
Lame atitude towards library usage.
Or was is the table arrangement of 4 chairs in one table ,I'm not too sure.which caused the problem.When 4 young sod meets what other topic of the day would they discuss.I'm not too sure.

I am not disputing those children are bright enough to be in a Law library but I notice and at time it gets to my nerve the amount of chatting and distraction in the LAW library.
Yes,they are bright enough to study law,(I assume they are law students)but scholistic approach needed to be introduce to those kids.
Rules are to be observe,etiquette are to be uphold while in a library as so that one could feel one are in a scholistic institution.

Unrelated discussion could be done outside the corum.
Case book are not to be torn.
Library nuisence must be stop.
After all they are our future guidence of the law.
They are supposed to guide us.
If small trivial matter could not be implant in their thick skull,thus the public money spend is a waste.
Altitude in the Library must be observe and uphold.

Need it be, the Librarian must be like my childhood librarian,Si Tempang,
when he a approches to our table, limping,it means,someone is in trouble.........!!!!

How To Fight Corruption -The Sufi Way

Hmmm....too much to write about this days.Name it you find interesting topic for discussion particularly during this festive period,'THE OPEN HOUSE'conversation,
the onlv one made in Malaysia social event.
Name the topic from Child Abuse to Corruption plus our super nation on the merge of super corridor,something to turn our soil fertile again so that as citizens could eat decently and healthy.
Wishfull thinking on the brain of the politician

Corruption the topic of the day..hmmmm...

A a student asked me about the topic sometimes ago 'how to combat it effectively.
I was blank for an answer,couldn't find a decent answer,like any ministers I suppose jes' rambling about the topic which I find it frustrating.
Luckly,my ladyluck was on my side,a lazer sharp answer I could give was..
'asked Parliament to pass a bill to make an offence to both husband and wife.
If one accept and never reported to ACA.
Husband take bribes wife report,if wife take bribes husband report.
Hmmmm..if it unreported both goes to jail.


I asked a budding Datuk,his opinion on the subject matter,
his bold answer I kind of like it,
'let them vommit SHIT'..
So as a lay person all I would or rather could see is 'SHIT VOMITTING' every where.

Thank god,lillah, I have a clean tummy.
The clip will teach us some eating manners.Enjoy it while it last
