SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDIL FITRI

His Majesty the King Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin declared on Monday 29 September 2008 that Malaysians would celebrate END OF RAMADAN on Wednesday October 1st 2008.
In the morning I went to the mosque for the sunat Aidil Fitri prayer. Then a visit at the cemetery to recite Quranic verses to my late grand dads and my late grandma on my mother's side.It is custom to visit our closest relatives later.

Eid Mubarrak - Zakat Fitrah

Ramadan is coming to an end. Malaysians would celebrate Hari Raya Aidil Fitri i.e.Eid Mubarrak either Tuesday September 30th OR October 1st.Actually during Ramadan Muslims do not just refrain from eating and drinking from sun rise to sun set. In fact Muslims are also prohibited from sex with the spouse, watch porno dvds, steal even the smallest thing like pencil and of course masturbation DURING THE DAY.I remember in summer 1988 when Ramadan was during the summer.Just looking at the Caucasian girls in my class wearing shorts and loose blouse made my sexual lust to crave BUT alhamdulillah I kept on with my Fasting.
Muslims are also required to pay the zakat fitrah i.e.the price of a bowl of rice for the poor.This particular zakat price in local denomination of a certain location MUST be paid to the Imam or religious leader BEFORE the Eid Mubarrak morning prayer or the sunat Aidil Fitri prayer.For instance for the province of Negri Sembilan Malaysia the zakat per head is RM6.50 ( I paid my zakat at Negri Sembilan State mosque on September 25th 2008)
While in Saskatoon from 1987 to 1990, I always paid my fitrah before the Eid prayer at Saskatoon Mosque.

LATEST on Malaysian Gas Prices

On September 25th 2008, the Pak Lah Government reduced the price of Ron 97 and Diesel 10 sen per litre. The new gas price is Ron 97 @ RM2.45 per litre and Diesel @ RM2.48 per litre.

I presume the RM625 rebate is still on until March 2009.

12 September 2002

My father had his heart surgery at the National Heart Institute Kuala Lumpur (IJN). He was taken into the operation theatre 7.30 am and was only done by 4 pm. Since I was young I have known my father to be a strong man BUT one day in January 2002 he was coughing without stopping only to be transferred to IJN later.The doctor said my father's heart valves need replacement. So the operation went smoothly. Now it has been 6 years and my father still do his part at my banana farm.
As for me I had to check my blood pressure daily a few months back.At one time my BP was 167/104 But alhamdulillah my BP is normal now especially after the birth of my nephew.
(I did my heart Stress Test on 23rd February 2005)

September 8th 1998

On September 8th 1998, an auntie of mine died suddenly of heart attack. She was a civil engineer graduated from University of London United Kingdom. I call her death as a sudden death syndrome.She went to work as usual during the day, did some exercise and jogging in the evening BUT collapsed suddenly at 2130 hours. She was pronounced dead at 2300 hours.She was so young then! she was only 35 years old.Luckily she has no children.May God Bless Her Soul!

My Personal Belongings, Textbooks and Class Notes

Malaysians and especially that wicked MALAYsian women keep on accusing me of not getting through my studies at the then Commerce University of Saskatchewan Canada when I reached Malaysia in October 1990. My return to Malaysia was SUPPOSED to be in July 1991 while my Canadian Student Authorization was VALID until September 1991.
I remember I bought a stereo set at Sears downtown Saskatoon for CAD400 cash in November 1987 BUT I could not remember where I placed my stereo when I left Saskatoon in October 1990.I cannot remember where did I leave my winter boots, sofa, bed and textbooks.
I see no reason why I would abandon my studies at University of Saskatchewan and then to do my FINAL year at a Malaysian University because I knew I left my textbooks, class notes, my winter clothing, my suits and many other personal matters in Saskatoon.
For each Academic Year at Commerce I always obtain grades higher than 60%.
The wicked MALAYsian women who accused me of failing my studies in 1988, also accused me of working illegally in Canada from 1988 to 1990. My summer break in Malaysia from May 29,1989 to August 21,1989 was just an act.I DID not work illegally while in Canada.That is why I obtained my Social Insurance Number.I was NOT in Malaysia in 1988.
READING Playboy, Penthouse and Hustler and other Porn magazines is a must BUT it was just for fun.I drink socially.I don't do drugs and I quit smoking since my car crash Dec 2, 1990.
I DID NOT fail my studies in Canada. I DID NOT abandon my Canadian studies. I DID NOT marry any women while in Canada. I AM STILL SINGLE.
I AM FED UP of staying in Malaysia.

Malaysian Gas Prices

On August 23, 2008 the Pak Lah Government reduced the fuel price in accordance with the global crude oil prices. Ron 97 was lowered by 15 sen to RM2.55 per litre while Diesel is now RM2.50 per litre.

Car owners would still enjoy fuel rebate of RM625 until March 2009.

Leaving Malaysia - Need a Sponsor

There are many hurdles in order for me to leave Malaysia. First will be the cost. NO one in Malaysia would sponsor my return to Canada whether the Malaysian Government or Private Companies.Obviously my parents and family will turn down my request to continue my studies at Edwards U of Saskatchewan BECAUSE of
1) My reluctance to marry a relative
2) The fear I might convert into Christianity
3) That I will not return to Malaysia when I graduate
4) That I want to abandon my MALAY custom as a way of life.You know like partying around,get drunk, staying together with a women without marriage and stay naked all the time.
5) That I might fail my studies after the first year or I might just abandon my studies just like that.

To renew my International Passport I need RM300. Income tax wise as far as I know I HAVEN'T had any taxable income since I arrived in Malaysia October 1990.To get the visa from Canadian High Commission Kuala Lumpur I need at least RM30,000 as bank guarantee.Buying the plane ticket should be easy.

Food wise ...the whole world knows about Malaysia being the center of Halal Hub. So if I am now in Canada I should not have any problem finding Islamic food, beef, chickens etc.

The wicked MALAYsian women said I would be a beggar if I go to Canada again BUT in reality for every kilogram of bananas I sold I obtained only a portion of the money and sometimes I have to beg to get the money.
