SEMUA UMAT ISLAM MESTI BOIKOT PRODUK YAHUDI

JANGAN KITA HANYA MERASA SIMPATI, SEBALIKNYA HARUS MERASA EMPATI DAN BERTINDAK MEMBOIKOT PRODUK YAHUDI DAN SEKUTUNYA DENGAN SEGERA. Sumber: www.ppim.org.my

Boikot Produk Israel

Assalamualaikum dan Salam 1Dunia, bila berlaku je perang di Gaza dan Tebing Barat serta saudara se Islam dibunuh dengan kejam oleh askar Israel maka bersemangatlah kita semua nak boikot produk Israel. Biasanya pertama masuk dalam kepala KFC dan Mc Donald kerana katanya memberi sumbangan kepada Israel.

Maka berlakulah peperangan di Malaysia mengutuk kawan-kawan yang buat muka selamba masuk makan di KFC dan McD. Katanya mereka tiada semangat perjuangan kerana terus menyokong Israel. Ada terbaca status seseorang di Facebook mengutuk mereka yang bekerja di McD dengan gambar restoran McD Kota Bahru. Terlebih semangat ke tu!



Mereka yang terkorban di Gaza walaupun sekecil mana usianya sudah pasti mati syahid dan in shaa Allah (Dr Zakir kata ini ejaan yang betul)  Syurga untuk mereka tetapi kita yang bercakaran di sini belum tentu lagi.

Kalau ikut sejarah KFC ditubuhkan di Kentucky USA bukan di Israel begitu juga Mc Donald. Banyak produk-produk lain yang diasaskan oleh Bangsa Yahudi seperti Facebook , Google, Coke, Pepsi yang bukan asalnya daripada Israel juga sepatutnya kita boikot tetapi kita senyap je.



Pada pandangan peribadi aku usaha boikot produk Israel adalah salah satu cara yang paling efektif untuk menekan Israel daripada terus menyerang warga Palestine. Usaha pertama yang kita perlu buat adalah menyenaraikan produk yang dihasilkan di Israel dan memboikot produk-produk tersebut.

Jangan kita sibuk nak boikot produk yang dikatakan menyokong Israel sedang produk yang dihasilkan di Israel terlepas begitu sahaja.

Langkah kedua barulah menyenaraikan produk-produk yang dihasilkan di luar Israel tetapi dengan jelas telah membantu peperangan Israel untuk kita boikot. Semangat boikot ini mesti berterusan bukan hanya hangat-hangat tahi ayam bila dah sejuk isu ini maka kita pun senyap je.

Siapa boleh bantu untuk menyenaraikan produk-produk yang dihasilkan di Israel??

Alhamdulillah ada yang sudi bagi senarai @ Senarai Produk Israel dan yang menyokong Israel (tanpa pengesahan dari mana-mana pihak).

Selain boikot produk Israel kita juga boleh membantu warga palestine dengan menderma biar pun RM1 janji ikhlas. Jom derma @ Tabung Gaza.

Kepada Rakan Blogger boleh tampal banner tanda sokongan kepada perjuangan saudara kita di Gaza. Joom dapatkan @ Banner GAZA.

Kepada yang ada keberanian untuk pergi ke Gaza membantu sila klik @ Panggilan JIHAD.
Ada alim ulama kata Israel akan terus berani menyerang umat Islam selagi umat Islam jauh dengan ALLAH SWT. Katanya pertanda umat Islam semakin dekat dengan ALLAH SWT apabila solat jemaah fardu Suboh di masjd penuh seperti solat Jumaat.

Untuk jadi seperti Rachel Corrie atau Konvoi Freedom Flotilla mungkin kita tak mampu tapi sempena tahun baru 1434H mari kita azam sama-sama untuk lebih dekat dengan ALLAH supaya Israel dan penyokong-penyokongnya takut kepada Islam tidak seperti sekarang sebut Islam pun diaorang dah gelak besar agaknya.

Sejarah Palestin & Israel

Bumi dan tanah rahmat, bagi kedua-dua pihak Islam dan Yahudi, tanah yang didiami oleh Palestin dan Israel sekarang merupakan tanah yang istimewa, yang telah ditentukan oleh Allah sejak ribuan tahun lampau.

Bagi umat Islam, di tanah inilah terbinanya Masjidil Aqsa, iaitu masjid ketiga paling mulia di dunia ini, setelah Masjidil Haram dan Masjid Nabawi.

Bagi penganut Yahudi pula, tanah tersebut merupakan 'Tanah Yang Dijanjikan Tuhan' kepada mereka.

Di situlah nenek moyang mereka berasal (Bani Israel), dan di situlah kampung halaman mereka. Mereka percaya, di tanah itulah terletaknya Bukit Zion, dan situlah tertanamnya Temple of Solomon, iaitu kuil suci mereka.

Atas kedua-dua sebab inilah, tanah tersebut menjadi rebutan antara Muslim dan Yahudi sejak dari dahulu, hinggalah membawa kepada pertumpahan darah sekarang.

Bagaimana dengan Kristian pula? Kristian juga, menganggap tanah tersebut sebagai tanah suci. Di Temple of Nazareth, yang terletak di tanah tersebut, merupakan tempat kelahiran Nabi Isa.

Di tanah itulah Nabi Isa menyampaikan ajarannya, dan di tanah itu jugalah Nabi Isa disalib (mengikut kepercayaan kristian).

Sejarah Awal

Sebenarnya sejarah bani Israel wujud sedari zaman Nabi Ibrahim lagi. Namun, kita susuri sedari kependudukan Bani Israel itu di Mesir, sepertimana yang diutuskan Nabi Musa a.s kepada mereka.

Kita tahu melalui al-Quran, bahawa Firaun dan tenteranya mengejar Nabi Musa dan kaumnya sehingga ke Laut Merah, di mana ketika itu Nabi Musa menggunakan mukjizatnya membelah dan menyeberangi lautan tersebut.

Setelah itulah Nabi Musa dan kaumnya Bani Israel mendiami tanah Palestin tersebut.

Kita boleh baca sendiri dalam al-Quran, betapa kaum ini semakin lama semakin besar kepala, meminta yang pelbagai daripada Nabi Musa dan sebagainya.

Kita juga boleh lihat kisah Talut dan Jalut yang berlaku setelah kewafatan Nabi Musa, sebagaimana yang diceritakan dalam al-Quran melalui surah al-Baqarah.

Setelah Talut menawan kembali tanah Palestin daripada kekuasaan Jalut, tampuk pemerintahan Palestin disambung pula oleh Nabi Daud. Seterusnya disambung oleh Nabi Sulaiman, dengan bala tenteranya dan kegemilangan kerajaannya (termasuk haiwan, jin dan angin).

Palestin dimiliki oleh Bani Israel, sehinggalah lebih kurang 60 tahun sebelum kelahiran Nabi Isa.

Pada tempoh ini, kerajaan Rom menekan kependudukan Bani Israel di tanah Palestin tersebut, sehinggalah akhirnya tanah Palestin dijarah oleh tentera Rom dan kaum Bani Israel diusir keluar lalu tersebarlah kaum Bani Israel, atau dikenali sekarang sebagai Yahudi, ke serata dunia.

Sejak itu, tanah Palestin menjadi milik kerajaan Rom.

Sehinggalah setelah kelahiran Nabi Isa, seterusnya kewujudan agama Kristian.

Lebih kurang pada tahun 300 Masihi, kerajaan Rom di bawah pemerintahan Raja Constantine yang menjadikan Constantinople sebagai pusat pemerintahan, mengalami Kristianisasi.

Sejak dari tempoh tersebut, kerajaan Rom menguasai Palestin.

Kedatangan Islam

Palestin kekal di bawah milik kerajaan Rom sehinggalah kelahiran Nabi kita Muhammad s.a.w. Setelah Rasulullah berjaya menubuhkan empayar Islam, beliau wafat pada 632 Masihi.

Empayar Islam semakin berkembang dan Palestin berjaya ditawan dari kerajaan Rom pada tahun 638 Masihi. Maka sedari itulah Palestin menjadi milik Islam, sebagai tanah suci yang ketiga selepas Makkah dan Madinah.

Sepanjang tempoh tersebut, kerajaan Rom yang telah menjalani Kristianisasi mengalami pelbagai perubahan daripada sudut struktur pemerintahan.

Bangsa-bangsa asal Eropah seperti Vikings, Magyar dan sebagainya dikristiankan, dan pemerintahan dikuasai oleh golongan gereja.

Sejak dari 1000 Masihi, tentera Kristian telah melakukan pelbagai usaha menawan kembali Palestin. Pada tahun 1063, Pope Alexander II memberikan 'fatwa' mengerahkan penganut Kristian untuk berjuang mendapatkan kembali Palestin, dan barangsiapa yang berjuang diberikan status kemuliaan dan pengampunan tertinggi.

Itulah yang dikenali sebagai Perang Salib (Crusades).

Akhirnya pada tahun 1099, tentera Salib berjaya menawan Palestin, dan menguasai tanah suci tersebut selama hampir 200 tahun.

Menawan Semula

Setelah Palestin ditawan, kerajaan Islam yang sedia ada konflik dalaman pada ketika itu, semakin hilang semangat.

Keadaan berlanjutan sehinggalah lahirnya seorang pemimpin agung, yang dikenali sebagai Salahuddin Al Ayyubi.

Salahuddin Al Ayyubi, menyatukan masyarakat Arab yang ketika itu berpecah belah akibat perbezaan mazhab dan aliran, seterusnya membawa tentera Islam menyerang kembali Palestin.

Akhirnya, pada sekitar tahun 1187, ibu negara Palestin berjaya ditawan, dan pada tahun 1291 kubu terakhir tentera Salib di tanah suci tersebut berjaya dimusnahkan.

Sejak itulah tanah suci Palestin kekal di bawah pemerintahan Islam dengan aman damai.

Malahan, penduduk asal Palestin iaitu Yahudi/Bani Israel dibenarkan pulang ke kampung halaman mereka, walaupun masih ramai yang bermastautin di luar.

Kerajaan Islam berkembang meluas, hinggalah masuk ke era pemerintahan Turki Uthmaniyyah.

Zaman Turki Uthmaniyyah mengalami kejatuhan sejak dari abad ke-19 lagi.

Proses modenisasi semakin berlaku, dan kebergantungan terhadap kuasa barat semakin wujud. Krisis-krisis dan konflik dalaman melemahkan lagi kekuasaan empayar Turki Uthmaniyyah.

Khalifah pada masa tersebut hanyalah pada nama. Empayar Islam semakin lemah, di bawah kekuasaan barat seperti Britain dan Perancis.

Perang Dunia Pertama

Akhirnya, pada tahun 1914, tercetusnya Perang Dunia Pertama. Perang ini terdiri daripada dua kuasa besar; iaitu Pakatan Bertiga Britain-Perancis-Rusia menentang Pakatan Pusat iaitu Jerman dan Austria/Hungary.

Setelah perang berterusan, negara-negara lain seperti Amerika Syarikat dan Itali menyertai Pakatan Bertiga, manakala Kerajaan Turki Uthmaniyah pula menyertai Pakatan Pusat.

Berada di bawah Pakatan Pusat, kerajaan Turki Uthmaniyyah diserang hebat oleh Pakatan Bertiga Britain-Perancis-Russia. Kerajaan Islam Timur diserang dan ditawan oleh Britain.

Kerajaan Islam Barat yang menjangkau hingga ke Algeria dan Sudan manakala negara-negara utara Afrika dikuasai oleh Perancis.

Kerajaan Islam juga diserang dari utara oleh Rusia, menyaksikan Rusia menawan kawasan utara kerajaan Islam.

Perlu diberi perhatian bahawa pada ketika ini, masih belum wujud negara bangsa dan kerajaan Islam disatukan di bawah satu pemerintahan khalifah, manakala setiap kawasan pula ditadbir oleh gabenor masing-masing.

Perpecahan Negara Arab

Pada ketika tempoh inilah, kerajaan Turki Uthmaniyyah mengalami konflik yang semakin hebat. Britain melalui perisiknya yang dikenali sebagai Lawrence of Arabia, menyuburkan semangat nasionalisme di negara-negara Arab.

Pejuang kebangsaan/nasionalisme Arab pula menyerang kerajaan Turki Uthmaniyyah.

Pemerintah Arab ketika itu, Emir Faisal I, berpaling tadah dan memihak kepada Britain.

Sejak itulah kerajaan Arab menjadi tali barut Britain. Pada tahun 1915, Britain mula menduduki kawasan Iraq. Akhirnya pada 1917, Britain menduduki semula kawasan Palestin.

Tentera Britain, diketuai General Allenby, memasuki Palestin pada 9 Disember 1917 lalu memberi ucapan, "Hari ini, Perang Salib sudah berakhir".

Pada 1917, Britain mengisytiharkan Deklarasi Balfour, iaitu perjanjian antara kerajaan Britain dengan ketua persatuan Yahudi Britain ketika itu, yang mana antaranya menjanjikan tanah Palestin kepada Yahudi.

Penempatan Yahudi di Palestin meningkat, dari 50,000 penduduk sebelum itu kepada mencecah setengah juta penduduk, manakala penduduk Islam Palestin ketika itu hampir mencecah 1.4 juta.

Wakil daripada Yahudi ketika Deklarasi tersebut merupakan seorang Yahudi bernama Chaim Weizzmann.

Weizzman juga merupakan seorang saintis, malahan saintis pertama yang menghasilkan bahan kimia acetone, seterusnya acetone digunakan sebagai cordite, iaitu sejenis bahan letupan yang menyumbang besar kepada kejayaan Britain dalam perang tersebut.

Weizzman mendesak Setiausaha Luar Britain ketika itu, Arthur Balfour, supaya diadakan Deklarasi tersebut.

Dek terhutang budi ke atas sumbangan Weizzman, kerajaan Britain bersetuju.

Pada mulanya, Britain menawarkan tanah di Uganda kepada Weizmann, namun Weizmann menolak dan mahukan Palestin. Dikatakan, Weizmann bertanya kepada Balfour:

"Encik Balfour, katakanlah saya menawarkan Paris dan London kepada encik, yang mana satukah yang encik mahukan?"

"Tetapi, kami sememangnya sudah memiliki London!"

"Betul itu, tetapi ketika London masih lagi sebuah kawasan paya, kami telahpun memiliki tanah Palestin!"

Akhirnya, British membenarkan kaum Yahudi berhijrah ke tanah Palestin.

Pada tahun 1919, Emir Faisal I ketika itu pula menandatangani perjanjian antara beliau dengan Chaim Weizzmann, menyatakan sokongan sepenuhnya beliau dan kerajaan Arab kepada Deklarasi Balfour.

Pada tahun 1919, berakhirnya Perang Dunia Pertama.

Kerajaan Islam Turki Uthmaniyyah menerima tamparan hebat setelah kehilangan kawasan-kawasannya yang luas, termasuklah Palestin.

British dan Perancis mula menjalankan kolonisasi di tanah-tanah jajahannya. Bertitik tolak daripada situ wujudlah negara bangsa, apabila sempadan-sempadan digariskan memisahkan sempadan agama.

Kejatuhan Turki Uthmaniyyah

Pada tahun 1918, tentera kolonial Britain menduduki pusat pemerintahan Turki Uthmaniyyah, iaitu Istanbul.

Pada tahun 1922, setelah tamat Perang Dunia Pertama, sebuah Persidangan Lausanne diadakan, yang antaranya mempunyai beberapa tuntutan seperti sistem khalifah ditamatkan, khalifah mestilah dibuang negeri, harta khalifah dirampas, dan kerajaan turki baru akan ditubuhkan atas dasar sekular.

Ya, persidangan tersebut menjanjikan kemerdekaan ke atas negara Turki.

Seorang ahli Parlimen Turki pernah bertanya kepada Lord Curzon, ketua perunding pihak pakatan ketika itu, "Kenapa hanya Turki dimerdekakan, sedangkan negara-negara Arab yang lain masih di bawah pemerintahan kolonial?"

Lord Curzon menjawab, "Hakikatnya Turki telah dimusnahkan dan tidak akan bangkit lagi, kerana kita telah menghancurkan kekuatannya - Khalifah dan Islam".

Dalangnya utamanya, Mustafa Kamal Attartuk. Dia mengeluarkan ugutan ke atas kabinet Turki ketika itu, lalu merombak parlimen sedia ada yang tidak bersetuju dengan persidangan tersebut.

Parlimen kedua yang ditubuhkan juga tidak bersetuju dengan persidangan tersebut.

Akhirnya, Mustafa Kamal Attartuk mengadakan konspirasi politik lalu merampas tampuk pemerintahan. 3 Mac 1924, kerajaan khalifah secara rasminya ditamatkan.

Pada pagi hari tersebut juga, khalifah terakhir, Khalifah Abdul Mejid II, diusir keluar dan dibuang negeri.

Mustafa Kamal Attartuk mengambil mengambil takhta, dan proses pengsekularan bermula.

Holocaust

Keadaan berterusan, sehinggalah naiknya seorang pemerintah Jerman ketika itu, iaitu Adolf Hitler.

Ketika tercetusnya perang dunia kedua oleh beberapa sebab, Hitler melaksanakan pelan pemusnahan kaum yang dikenali sebagai Action T4.

Pelan ini merencanakan pembunuhan Euthanasia beramai-ramai keatas golongan tertentu, majoritinya Yahudi.

Setelah tamat Perang Dunia Kedua, dianggarkan hampir seramai 6 juta Yahudi di seluruh Eropah mati dibunuh.

Setelah mengalami kerugian yang besar, Britain berundur dari Palestin dan tanah-tanah jajahannya yang lain pada 1948.

Penglibatan Amerika Syarikat

Amerika Syarikat, selaku kuasa besar dunia setelah Perang Dunia Kedua, memainkan peranan penting dalam penubuhan negara Israel.

Pada asalnya, Israel tidaklah wujud sebagai sebuah negara yang hakiki. Setelah Holocaust yang dilakukan oleh Hitler tamat, jumlah penduduk Yahudi yang ada adalah sedikit, serta mereka hidup dalam kesusahan dan ketakutan.

Pada ketika itulah, Persatuan Yahudi Amerika mengutuskan tuntutan kepada Presiden Amerika Syarikat ketika itu, Harry Truman.

Pada November 1947, tuntutan tersebut dibawa ke persidangan Persatuan Bangsa-bangsa Bersatu (PBB) lalu pemisahan Palestin dideklarasikan.

Pada 16 May 1948, kerajaan sementara Israel ditubuhkan di Palestin, dengan sokongan dari PBB.

Presiden Harry Truman menyokong sepenuhnya penubuhan Israel, maka wujudlah penempatan Israel di tanah Palestin sehingga kini. Presiden Israel yang pertama ialah Chaim Weizmann.

Palestin Sekarang

Sedari peristiwa Holocaust, ramai Yahudi berhijrah ke Amerika atas dasar terbuka negara tersebut terhadap mereka, serta ramai juga yang pulang ke tanah air di Israel.

Yahudi di Amerika diterima dengan tangan terbuka, bantuan dan pekerjaan diberikan kepada mereka atas dasar belas kasihan akibat Holocaust tersebut.

Dari situlah, Yahudi di Amerika berkembang dan memegang tampuk ekonomi dan pentadbiran Amerika.

Amerika, selaku kuasa besar dunia setelah Perang Dunia Kedua, memberikan sokongan tanpa putus-putus kepada negara Israel, yang didirikan di atas tanah Palestin yang dirampas secara haram.

Sehingga kini, Israel terus-terusan menyerang Palestin dalam usaha meluaskan sempadannya. Palestin pula berjihad, dalam usaha menawan kembali Masjidil Aqsa.

Sejak kerajaan khalifah Islam tumbang, tiada sesiapa lagi yang mahu menyokong Palestin.

Negara-negara Islam yang lain tunduk takut dan akur kepada Amerika.

Sampai bila keadaan ini akan berakhir? Hanya dua; sama ada Palestin akan terus dihapuskan dan Masjidil Aqsa dimusnahkan dalam usaha mereka mencari Temple of Solomon, ataupun tertegaknya kembali kerajaan khalifah Islam yang menyokong perjuangan Palestin.

Di manakah kita? Kita boleh berdiam diri tidak berbuat apa-apa, sekaligus menjadikan kesudahan yang pertama tadi sebagai realiti.

Ataupun, kita boleh berusaha melakukan sedaya upaya menyokong perjuangan Palestin, yang membawa kepada kesudahan yang kedua.

Fikir-fikirkan.

Kawasaki Ninja Z800 & Z800e

We already knew well ahead of the INTERMOT show that Team Green would debut the Kawasaki Ninja Z800, a bike that replaces the best-selling sport-naked in the Europe: the Kawasaki Ninja Z750. Featuring an 806cc inline-four motor, the new Z800 comes in two flavors: the Kawasaki Ninja Z800 & the Kawasaki Ninja Z800e. The Kawasaki Ninja Z800 makes 111hp and 61 lbs•ft of torque, while the Kawasaki Ninja Z800e gets a bit more watered down with 94hp and 56 lbs•ft of torque, though it saves 6 lbs over its more burly counterpart.

The two-pronged model approach by Kawasaki is surely being done to better capture a wider audience with the Ninja Z800 line, which also explains why the 2013 Kawasaki Ninja Z800e comes with a 47hp A2 license compliant option as well. Designed to be at home on the set of the next Transformers movie, you will either love or hate the lines of the Kawasaki Ninja Z800 — we happen to think it looks rather edgy and mean, which is how we like our street-nakeds to carry themselves.

For its added price and power, the 2013 Kawasaki Ninja Z800 comes 41mm KYB forks that feature preload and rebound damping only — the same goes for the Z800′s rear shock. The 2013 Kawasaki Ninja Z800e, however comes with forks and a rear shock that have only preload adjustment capability, and no damping controls. Both models come with an optional ABS package. We do not expect the Kawasaki Ninja Z800 to come to North America at this point in time. Waiting for you after the jump are 53 photos of the new Kawasaki Ninja Z800.

iPad Mini..?

iPad Mini - release date, rumours and specs

iPad mini rumours, release date info, pricing and specs - you'll find them all here.

The Apple iPad mini has become one of the most anticipated gadgets in the tech world, and we don't even know if it exists yet. However, there have been so many leaks, so many insider stories, that we're starting to become convinced it's the real deal.

We've collated all the news on the iPad mini, rejected the pure nonsense and picked out the gems to put together this summary of what the tablet will be like. The below titbits should be treated as rumour at this point, but many of them are likely to prove true. We'll be updating this information as new iPad mini details are revealed.

Release date and price
Possible 12 September 2012 unveiling, October release, from $249 or £199

If the iPad mini is to surface this year, it'll likely show up on 12 September, when the iPhone 5 is likely to be unveiled. As is traditional for Apple, there won't be a wait of months and months for the device itself to go on sale - the usual gap is two weeks. Today's latest rumour suggests the release date will be 21 September.

Japanese website Macotakara says the iPad mini will sell for between $250 and $350, around half the price of the full-size iPad. If we don't get done over in the currency translation, this means the iPad mini could sell for under £200.

Screen
7.85in, 1,024 x 768 pixels, IPS panel

The iPad mini takes the screen resolution of the first and second-generation iPads and squeezes it down from a 9.7in display to a 7.85in display. This will result in a much sharper image - at normal viewing distances - than the older iPads.

Doing the math, pixel density still isn't exactly amazing at 163dpi, but as Apple is likely to continue using the IPS screen type used in all iPhones and iPads, it'll look snazzy enough to keep Apple acolytes happy. Next to the Google Nexus 7 it won't come off too well, though. The official Google tablet packs-in 1,280 x 800 pixels into a 7in display, for 215dpi pixel density.

The benefit of using the familiar 1,024 x 768 resolution is that the iPad mini should have no problems running any iPad apps that aren't made exclusively for the Retina display iPad. And there aren't too many of those.

Body and design
Anodised aluminium, iPad-like

The iPad mini's name isn't there just to suck popularity off the iPad brand - it'll basically be what's written on the tin. Its rear is likely to use the same anodised aluminium rear as the current full-size iPad, and will be under 10mm thick. Japanese blog Macootakara claims it'll be a crazy-slim 7.2mm thick. That's almost 3mm thinner than the Google Nexus 7.

While keeping the iPad-style build quality is a good thing, what we're looking forward to most in the iPad mini is having an Apple tablet we can comfortably use while standing up on the train. 9.7in and 600g in weight, the current model is just a bit too large and a bit too heavy to get away with being used one-handed.

Battery Life
Expected 10hr battery life

Apple has pinned a 10-hr badge on the iPad range. It was so desperate to keep up this standard that it made the third iPad tablet thicker and heavier than its predecessor just to maintain stamina. Big and heavy are not positive points in the world of portable tech…

However, Apple's going to have to do some clever engineering to get battery life this high without making the iPad mini a bit of a chunkster. 7in tablets generally struggle to match their 10.1in brothers on battery life, as there's less room in the body to fill out with battery. The Google Nexus 7 managed just over eight hours in our tests, but we're not sure whether Apple will be satisfied with this cut-down figure.

Having to cram in a decent-sized battery makes us suspicious about the previous claim that the tablet will be just 7.2mm thick, though.

Software
iOS 6

There's no doubt about this one - the iPad mini will be the same basic software as the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, iOS.

New "features" expected include the removal of Google Maps and TouTube - although replacements will certainly be in-place. Siri is due an update that'll see it branch out to more devices and you'll be able to do more with it, such as launch apps. More Facebook integration is expected too.

Processor
Dual-core A5 chip

In a world filling up with cheap quad-core Android tablets, the idea that the iPad mini might feature a dual-core chip may sound strange. But it's actually quite likely.

A dual-core chip is used in the current iPad - it's the GPU that has all the power. The iPad mini should need less power than the full-size iPad too, as it has to render far fewer pixels, 786,432 instead of 3,145,728. We have no clue as to whether the processor will be exactly the same as the full-size iPad's one, though.

Memory
8/16/32GB, non expandable

As the first real "budget-focused" iPad, iMore speculates that an 8GB version of the iPad mini will appear. Until now, the entry-level point for iPads has been 16GB - and even that is eaten-up pretty quickly.

The Google Nexus 7 offers an entry-level 8GB version, but the 16GB edition has proved much more popular. If an 8GB iPad mini does exist, we expect higher-capacity editions will be much more popular among tech fans. The iPad mini won't let you simply plug in a memory card to get extra storage.

Camera
Conflicting reports

There have been conflicting rumours on the iPad mini camera. Leaked pictures claiming to be of the tablet's rear show no space for a camera sensor - just a smooth metal back. However, these could easily be fakes.

Supporting this, pictures of cases made for the iPad mini show that there will still be a camera. Accessory makers are occasionally given a heads-up about the specs of devices, so that accessories can be made for the launch of the product. Which report is true? We'll have to wait to find out.

Speakers
Stereo, on the bottom

A string of component leaks show that the iPad mini will feature two speakers. Or, at the very least, two speaker outlets. They sit on the bottom edge to either side of the new 8-pin proprietary connector.

The grille design is similar to that of the current iPad - little holes drilled into the aluminium shell. As the speakers are so close together, they won't be able to create much of a stereo image as such, but should offer greater output, and will be less affected by how you hold the tablet.

Rebut Peluang Menemui Lailatul Qadar

Bulan Ramadhan sudah hampir tiba ke penghujungnya. Wahai muslimin dan muslimat sekalian, rebutlah pahala di sepuluh malam yang terakhir ini sesungguhnya di sepuluh malam yang terakhir ini.

Pernah di malam itu al-Quran diturunkan dari Luh Mahfuz ke langit dunia, Baitul Izzah. Mukmin sejati semakin menggiatkan ibadah mereka khususnya di seluruh 10 malam terakhirnya, yakin pahala di salah satu dari malam-malam tersebut digandakan pahalanya sebanyak ibadah yang sama dikerjakan selama 1000 bulan!

Itulah malam Lailatul Qadar. Pada 10 malam tersebut, demi berebut untuk mendapatkannya, Rasulullah S.A.W mengasingkan dirinya dari isteri-isterinya, beriktikaf di dalam Masjid Nabawi, beribadah dan bermunajat kepada Allah S.W.T sambil diikuti oleh para Sahabat R.A.
Diantara ibadah-ibadah yang boleh dilakukan ialah qiamulail, puasa fardhu, berbuka, solat Tarawih, tilawah al-Quran, berdoa, zikir, istighfar, memuhasabah diri, merancang untuk amalan diri dan sebagainya.

Tips

Beberapa tips dalam merebut pahala dan kelebihan malam Lailatul Qadar :

1. Bersedia untuk merebutnya dari sekarang terutama disegi keyakinan, kesungguhan merebut peluang tahunan ini dan merancang kalender harian agar mengosongkan 10 malam-malam terakhir tersebut untuk tujuan itu semata-mata; tidak untuk kesibukan lain.

2. Memahami bahawa dimana jawatan, kedudukan dan kesibukan kita di dunia ini, tujuan utama manusia dijadikan ialah untuk beribadah kepada Allah S.W.T dengan penuh keikhlasan, bersedia untuk hari (Akhirat) yang tiada gunanya lagi harta dan anak-anak, melainkan orang yang bertemu Allah dengan hati yang sejahtera.

3. Putuskan dari sekarang masjid mana yang akan kita gunakan untuk iktikaf, siang dan malam, samada sebahagian atau 24 jam sehari. Pastikan AJK masjid tersebut memahami ibadah iktikaf dan qiyamullail 10 malam terakhir agar tidak berlaku masalah pengurusan dengan mereka yang tidak memahaminya.

4. Dapatkan teman agar sama-sama dapat melakukan ibadah tersebut secara berjemaah.

5. Jika anda bekerja di bawah majikan, kenalpasti hari-hari yang akan dimohon cuti agar dapat lebih hari untuk beriktikaf di masjid. Jika anda tidak dapat mengambil cuti kerja, anda boleh cuba berktikaf di masjid sepenuhnya dalam cuti hujung minggu pada hari Sabtu dan Ahad.

6. Jika anda seorang pelajar, cuba habiskan kerja-kerja rumah atau assignments dari sekarang agar tidak tertimbun pada 10 malam terakhir Ramadan. Beli tiket balik kampung lebih awal agar tidak disibukkan mencari tiket nanti.

7. Bersedia untuk Aidil Fitri lebih awal agar kita tidak disibukkan nanti dengan membeli belah, memasang langsir, membuat kuih-muih, menyiap atau menjahit pakaian Raya dan sebagainya seperti yang sering berlaku pada ramai orang yang kurang memahami dan menghayati kelebihan 10 malam terakhir Ramadan.

8. Memahami bahawa asas perubahan ke arah kebaikan pada seseorang bahkan pada sesebuah umat ialah pembaikan jiwa yang ada di dalam diri masing-masing. Madrasah 10 Malam Terakhir Ramadan yang bakal dilalui boleh turut membantu mencapai ke arah perubahan tersebut.

Semoga Allah mengurniakan ketaqwaan kepada kita setelah menjalani ibadah di bulan Ramadan ini. Kita keluar darinya nanti dengan beroleh rahmah, keampunan dan selamat dari api neraka. Amin.

Pekeliling Kenaikan Gaji Kakitangan Awam Sistem Saraan Malaysia

As salam, pekeliling kenaikan gaji baru Kakitangan Awam Malaysia dibawah Sistem Saraan Malaysia (SSM) yang ditunggu² selama ini sudah mula diedar sebentar tadi. Disini, segala persoalan mengenai tangga gaji, pengiraan kenaikan gaji lama ke gaji baru, kenaikan kadar bantuan sara hidup dan perkara² berkaitan, ada diyatakan di dalam pekeliling tersebut.

Jadual Kenaikan Gaji Kakitangan Awam Dalam Sistem Saraan Baru Perkhidmatan Awam (SBPA)

Semenjak Sistem Saraan Baru Perkhidmatan Awam (SBPA) diperkenalkan dalam pembentangan belanjawan 2012 yang lalu. Ramai sungguh kakitangan awam yang tercari² Jumlah Kenaikan Gaji Sebenar yang bakal diterima bagi setiap gred Perkhidmatan Kakitangan Kerajaan. Antara yang terkena tempias sistem SBPA nie, tak lain tak bukan .. unit aku sendiri.

Mentang² la kita orang kerja di Bahagian Penjawatan. Asyik² dapat panggilan tanya pasal kenaikan gaji je. Aik .. banyak cantik. Korang ingat kitaorang jaga gaji ke ? Kalau tanya pasal kekosongan jawatan tu. Boleh la jawab sikit². Tapi kalau tanya pasal skim tangga gaji baru. Hehehe .. sorry la ye. Tak dapat den nak menolong..

Selain tu yang aku tak tahan nak gelak. Wujud satu fatwa kiraan sendiri yang dibuat berdasarkan fakta kenaikan gaji RM80 hingga RM320 mengikut gred yang dibentangankan dalam belanjawan 2012 seperti yang tertera di bawah. Dari mana diorang dapat pun aku tak tau. Alih² dah tersebar dekat Internet.

Tangga Gaji Baru Bajet 2012 yang diwar²kan oleh sesetengah pihak

GRED 1-16 = RM80

GRED 17-26 = RM120

GRED 27-40 = RM160

GRED 41-48 = RM220

GRED 52-54 = RM260

GRED JUSA A,B,C = RM320

Memang pelik betul ! Jabatan Perkhidmatan Awam (JPA) pun belum lagi keluarkan apa² pekeliling. Dah ada pulak yang memandai² nak keluarkan kenyataan sendiri. Hehehe .. mungkin diorang dah tak sabar² nak dapat tangga gaji baru kot. Jadi dari buang masa percayakan rumours ni. Baik tunggu dulu apa² pekeliling ataupun surat arahan Perkhidmatan yang akan sampai di Jabatan masing².

Selain tu, kalau korang baca teks ucapan Belanjawan 2012 tu semula. Korang akan perasaan ada beberapa elemen utama yang digariskan dalam Sistem Saraan Baru Perkhidmatan Awam SBPA. Antaranya;

Pertama: Mewujudkan Dasar Pemisah atau exit policy bagi penjawat awam yang berprestasi rendah dan mereka yang memilih untuk meninggalkan perkhidmatan;

Kedua: Menambah baik struktur gaji penjawat awam melalui pembentukan gaji sebaris dengan mewujudkan lebih banyak mata gaji supaya penjawat awam terus mendapat kenaikan tahunan bagi tempoh yang lebih lama. Dengan itu, gaji maksimum bagi sesuatu gred adalah lebih tinggi daripada sekarang.

Ketiga: Pada perutusan khas Hari Guru yang lalu, saya telah mengumumkan laluan kerjaya perkhidmatan perguruan siswazah yang lebih baik. Tidak perlu lagi seperti dulu, seorang guru terpaksa menunggu sehingga 20 tahun untuk naik pangkat, sebaliknya sekarang, dalam skim baru mengikut time-based, seorang guru akan mendapat gred 44 pada tahun ke-8 dan gred 48 pada tahun ke-16. Bagi guru bukan siswazah, dari gred 29 kepada 32, jika mengikut sistem time-based sekarang, ia memakan masa 10 tahun, namun, di bawah SBPA hanya mengambil tempoh lapan tahun sahaja. Seterusnya pula, bagi kenaikan gred 32 ke 34, jika sekarang ini bergantung pada kekosongan, tetapi di bawah SBPA kelak, kaedah time-based lapan tahun turut diterima pakai; dan

Keempat: Kenaikan Gaji Tahunan tidak pernah disemak sejak 1991. Mulai tahun 2012, Kenaikan Gaji Tahunan Penjawat Awam akan ditingkatkan antara 80 hingga 320 ringgit mengikut gred. Di samping itu, bagi penjawat awam yang menerima opsyen ke SBPA, akan mendapat faedah kenaikan gaji, di antara 7 hingga 13 peratus.

Kalau korang tengok balik item yang nombor 4 tu. Mungkin korang akan perasaan. Hanya kepada kakitangan awam yang menerima opsyen SBPA sahaja yang akan mendapat faedah Kenaikan Gaji ini. Jadi, saranan aku. Adalah lebih baik korang tak payah terburu² dulu nak semak tangga gaji baru. Belum tentu lagi semua penjawat awam akan mendapat 'durian runtuh'.

Lagipun dari cakap² yang aku dengar. Ada banyak pro dan cons dalam opsyen SBPA ini. Jadi daripada korang sibuk² bertanyakan Kadar Jadual Gaji Sebaris SBPA ini. Adalah lebih baik korang semak dulu opsyen SBPA ni bila dah keluar nanti. Itu lebih baik !

Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Shah bin Syed Nor Al-Bukhary

Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Shah bin Syed Nor Al-Bukhary^[2] is the richest Bumiputra corporate figure in Malaysia. With involvement in diversified business areas which include transportation and logistics, plantations, property development, defense and armory as well as engineering and power generation, he has a net worth estimated to be US$1.7 billion according to Forbes,^[1] making him the 8th richest Malaysian.

 

Early life

Syed Mokhtar al-Bukhary was born into a mid-low class Malay family; whose house was without necessities and luxuries. His highest education was only until form five, and he never went to university. A whole lot of his knowledge and experience was gained through his own entrepreneurship experience during his youth time.

Due in part his family's mediocre-to-poor background, Syed Mokhtar al Bukhary had to step into the working world in his early life, while pursuing his primary and secondary studies. Syed Mokhtar helped his mother planting and selling vegetables in the market and also selling roti canai. His numeric knowledge was used to help his father in doing daily book keeping.

After finishing school, Syed Mokhtar helped his father in breeding cow business but only to see the business washed away by foot and mouth disease. Nevertheless, he took over the business and start over by selling meats. He then move on to packaging the meats and start selling them wholesale. His determination paid off and the business started to take off.

 

Career

Syed Mokhtar and Zainal started his business in Kedah in the 1990s dealing in rice. More success followed and he moved to rice trading business. He worked even harder after he was awarded the rice trading license from Lembaga Padi Negara, and was later awarded successions of supplier contract government-linked corporations as partner with Zainal Hatim Hj Ambia Bukhary.

As his determination starting to skyrocket, he quickly moved to expand into diversification of other businesses. His next big move was in the logistics business, with initial goal to transport their trading materials. Today, his business empire has grown into areas such as plantation, property development, construction, engineering, power generation, infrastructure and ports.

He owns 51.8% share in Malaysian Mining Corporation via his wholly owned company, Syarikat Impian Teladan Sdn. Bhd. Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar and Zainal Hatim personally owns SKS Ventures, which was awarded the task of building the site for 2100MW coal-fired power station at Tanjung Bin, Johor.

Apart from these, Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar and Zainal has varied interest in a number of companies, both in Malaysia as well as abroad.

 

Charity

His philanthropic values were nurtured from the age of 23 when he started a small business dealing in rice. When he received his first monthly income of RM1,500, his mother had told him to donate half of it to the poor.^[3]

From 1996 to 2006, his foundation has contributed almost RM1bil to charity, although his total income is probably in multiples of that figure.^{[citation needed]}

He has humanitarian projects in Asia and Africa, including rebuilding the lives of Afghan refugees, Pakistan's ear's tsunami victims and is now working to establish an AIDS hospital in Uganda.^{[citation needed]}

On 10 January 2008 or 1st Muharram 1429 Hijra he was announced and awarded as "Tokoh Ma'al Hijrah" by The Yang Di Pertuan Agong of Malaysia in recognition of his contribution to nation building and also

 

Controversies

A number of companies controlled by Syed Mokhtar have come under attack for development activities on greenfield sites. For example, the clearance of mangroves for the development of Johor Port has led to some criticisms from local environmental groups.^[4] He has also been identified as a major beneficiary of political connections that have given his subsidiary companies monopoly control over crucial Malaysian sectors, including rice, power and ports.

KUALA LUMPUR: Tradewinds Plantation Bhd’s (TPB) AGM today could be an interesting affair as the Minority Shareholder Watchdog Group (MSWG) has sent to the company a set of questions ranging from crude oil pricing to a donation of RM10 million made to the Albukhary International University, sources said.

Of particular interest to minority shareholders will be the RM10 million donation, which is deemed as excessive, representing about 20% of the company’s net profit. MSWG’s list of questions also include seeking clarity on its plans to build palm oil mills.

TPB’s 69.76% parent Tradewinds (M) Bhd is also understood to have received a letter from MSWG over its own contribution of RM10 million as well, to the same university. Tradewinds’ AGM is slated for June 22.

The RM10 million contribution by Tradewinds works out to about 12% of its net profit for FY09. Issues have cropped up as Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Albukhary controls almost 43% of Tradewinds and has an interest in the university as well.

The RM350 million Albukhary International University in Alor Setar, Kedah comes under the control of the Yayasan Albukhary, which in turn is controlled by Syed Mokhtar.

This will not be the first fiery AGM in the businessman’s stable of companies.

The Edge Financial Daily learnt that Syed Mokhtar’s flagship MMC Corporation Bhd’s AGM at end-April was also a fiery one, with shareholders questioning a RM75 million contribution to the university.

For FY09, MMC posted a net profit of RM236.71 million on RM8.44 billion in revenue, which means the contribution to the Albukhary International University amounted to over 30% of the net profit. Syed Mokhtar, via his vehicle Seaport Terminal (Johore) Sdn Bhd, controls about 42.47% of MMC.

Even more interesting was a contribution by water player Aliran Ihsan Resources Bhd, which gave away some RM20 million to the university. Aliran Ihsan’s net profit for FY09 amounted to RM30.23 million, meaning that the company forked out almost two-thirds of its net profits to the university.

Syed Mokhtar’s MMC has more than 70% equity interest in Aliran Ihsan.

Another company the tycoon controls, Padiberas Nasional Bhd (Bernas), has forked out RM20 million to the . Bernas is 72.57% owned by Tradewinds.

In total companies linked to the tycoon is understood to have donated anywhere between RM135 million and RM150 million to the university. Another Syed Mokhtar-controlled company, DRB Hicom Bhd, has not done so.

According to MSWG’s letter to TPB, such donations are normally in the 2% or 3% range of net profits and that “the (TPB) board should provide more clarification on the substantial contribution”.

“Giving out to charity or such causes is fine; just ensure the company pays out dividends and then pay it from your own pocket,” an industry observer said.
