Worthy of Note






Assalamualaikum n Greetings 



A Happening Remembered  


Photographs speak wider than words! Herein some selected moments recorded at Dewan Perkasa in the vicinity of the Ministry of Defence (Mindef) one Friday afternoon of May 9 2014.

My involvement here was just as an ordinarily invited layman to witness the launching of a very historically significant title Reminiscences of Insurrection written by Lt Colonel Mohd Azzam bin Hanif Ghows (Rtd).







With author Lt Col Mohd Azzam bin Haniff Ghows (Rtd)



Malaysia's renowned statesman . . . former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammad . . . officiated at the launch. A job he did with such simplicity but with much articulated excellence.

His presence as always caused much excitement among the audience who were overwhelm with admiration for his off-the-cuff speech and matter-of-fact comments. 

I shall always think of the appropriateness to have attended the event . . . and consider it a privilege to have met many celebrated figures at the occasion.

With Mr Sager Ahmad (ex NST Defence Reporter)








With Dato' Mohd Yasin Yusof (ex Supt of Poliice)
 and
 Tan Sri Yuen Yuet Leng (ex Dep Com of Police)








With Maj Gen Dato' Megat Mahmud (Rtd)








With (L to R)
 Maj Gen Dato' Megat Mahmud (Rtd); Gen Tan Sri Yaacob Mohd Zain
 (ex Chief of the Armed Forces); Lt Col Basri Omar PGB (Rtd)









With Tan Sri Gen Hashim bin Mohd Ali (ex Chief of the Armed Forces)








With Tun Mohammed Haniff Omar (ex Inspector General of Police)




The icing on the cake was the moment when yours sincerely had the opportunity to come face-to-face with the Right Honourable Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammad . . . shook his hands, managed an utterance of some respectable words . . . and getting an immediate 'diplomatic' response from him!







With Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammad

Writer: 
Just want to tell you this . . . Tun 
Tun:
Ha apa dia?
Writer:
 I've waited over many long years to shake your hands . . . 
Tun:
(in a highly diplomatic manner) 
I waited that long too . .. you tak mai pun . . .  




All said and done . . . what a colourful happening that afternoon's outing proved to be!

Alhamdulillah.

Alah Bisa Tegal Biasa






Assalamualaikum dan Selamat Sejahtera



Beraktiviti Serampang Dua Mata 


Alhamdulillah . . . pada hari Sabtu 12 Julai 2014 bersamaan 14 Ramadan 1435H . . . telah dapat diadakan suatu majlis perjumpaan keluarga di d'SUARANG.


Majlis berlangsung dari waktu Maghrib hinggalah hampir waktu tengah malam. 












Majlis diisi dengan acara solat berjemaah Maghrib dan Isyak serta solat sunat Tarawih. 





































































































































Bacaan tahlil dan doa dilakukan pada penghujung majlis . . . dipimpin Tuan Hj Suhaimi Baharuddin yang juga mengimamkan ibadat bersolat pada malam ini. 





































Sebenarnya aktiviti begini telah menjadi amalan tahunan keluarga Tok Shariff / Tok Said / Onyang Konah (keluarga besar PTS) pada setiap bulan Ramadan.

















Sudah menjadi kelaziman pada hari Sabtu setiap minggu dalam bulan Ramadan ahli-ahli PTS akan bergilir-gilir menjadi hos majlis tersebut di atas. Amalan ini dilakukan secara sukarela. 

Kini sudah hampir 15 tahun ahli-ahli PTS melaksanakan amalan serampang dua mata (beribadat dan bersilaturahim) ini. 



















Alhamdulillah hingga sekarang aktiviti yang murni ini masih dapat diteruskan ahli-ahli pelapis dalam PTS walaupun ramai ahli senior (pengasas dan penggalak aktiviti sepanjang tahun-tahun terdahulu) telah kembali rahmatullah. 








































Penulis berharap pada masa-masa hadapan ramai lagi ahli akan tampil memberikan sokongan yang cukup bersepadu terhadap aktiviti-akiviti PTS sedemikian rupa . . . demi memperkukuh semangat kesepakatan dan kemuafakatan sesama kita. 







































Mudah-mudahan Allah SWT terus memberkati usaha kita dan mengizinkan perlaksanaan amalan murni ini berlaku untuk suatu jangka waktu yang cukup lama lagi.




















































Terima kasih dan penghargaan khas penulis tujukan kepada semua ahli keluarga dan sanak saudara yang telah sudi hadir di d' SUARANG menjayakan majlis perjumpaan keluarga dalam bulan Ramadan yang mulia ini. 

Alhamdulillah. 




*Catatan:
Terima kasih kpd Halim Majid juru gambar majlis.
