al-Qaradhawi and Anwar Ibrahim
I recently posted a video that I took of Dr Yusuf al-Qaradhawi talking about Anwar Ibrahim at the Selangor State Mosque, Shah Alam. Frankly the video was taken by sheer coincidence and what is in YouTube is all of the video. I just wanted a clip of the great Sheikh’s lecture and an overview of the public attending the lecture. Luck has it that as I was taking the video this Egyptian scholar...
WatchA year ago, we were hit by a tragedy. Lives and property were lost. I was there to help out. When things slowly stabilize, I took out my trusty camera and recorded the selfless rescue efforts.
“We trust the police. They have investigated many significant cases. I believe...”
– Zahid Hamidi quoted by the Star. He must be one of the few that have that much of trust in the police.

Walking back home from the parking lot to my house tonight, I passed through some foreign workers washing the cars in my apartment. As I greeted them, one of them told me happily that he is going back to his country tomorrow. His face was radiant with joy. He further told me that he goes back to his country once a year to see his son and wife there.
Wow! Once a year! That is the sacrifice they...

Date Night
Yesterday my wife and I went out for our weekly date night. We had a late lunch/early dinner and went for some shopping. The weird thing is that, the only thing we bought that is not for our two children (two? Well Nuffie and Sumayyah… :D) is a tiny thumbdrive for my wife. All else, a whole shopping bag full is for the two of them…
Funny how even on a date, where it is suppose to be...
Mass SMS system for Barisan MPs →
Why the need for SMS? Aren’t you guys getting allowance for being an MP? Is it so difficult to attend to your duties? Just attend and sleep if you are too stupid to understand what’s happening. Pak Lah did just that!

Happy New Year 1431H!
O’ how we’ve shamed oursleves, we’ve strayed from the lath of our beloved. Reminiscing the struggles Rasulullah and his companions went through to save us, a generation of people whom they have never met. To save our creed, to save us from hell fire, from the wrath of the creator. They were willing to lose everything, to suffer at the hands of the merciless kuffar. And how do we...
Democracy or Democrazy?
When it comes to politics, to many modern minds, there seem to be no better system than democracy. Iraq, Afghanistan and many other countries are invaded by the almighty US of A under the pretense of democratizing them. Freeing them from tyranny to the light of democracy.
But why democracy? Why not? Well by definition it seems like the perfect governing system — a government by the people for the...

Looking back at 2009 - The Geek in Me
2009 has been an adventurous year. Starting a new company, trying new industry (health IT/Legal), and to top it off — getting a new beautiful daughter; Sumayyah.
However in the beginning of 2009, I gave myself a challenge to learn programming. That was my resolution. So how did I far? Well I’m happy to say that I achieved that and I can now code in Objective C using Cocoa Touch...
