Racau Sang Khalifah
SemiFinal AJL 2006
Composer: Karim & Noraniza Idris
Lyrics: Ahmad Fedtri Yahya
Vocal: Noraniza Idris & Liza Hanim feat. Beego
Lama meronta bagai pancakara
Terbeban melara di sangkar penjara
Bebaskan jiwa racau dalam dada
Hentikan niskala gangguan durjana
Bermusim lama bayang hitam mengejarmu
Akal merapuh, hati lusuh, jiwa derita
Seluas alam telah dipelitakan
Mengusir sangsi jalanan gelap gelita
Mengapa dayus menyerah
Sayapku luka berdarah
Mengapa layu menyembah
Terputus tali wasilah
Bergandingan tangan seiring melintas maya
Kita ranumkan
Manisan iman
Setelah lara
Diduga gelora
Kuhampar bintang-bintang
Kilau emas gemilang
Kuukir jadi gerbang
Perisai medan juang
Cahaya yang menyuluh larik dari sanubari
Andai aku khalifah
Mendamai bumi fana
Subur ilmu melimpah
Bersujud penuh redha
Amanah yang mulia umpama pohon merendang
Amanah yang mulia melambai taman kencana
Larilah dari arah
Yang merubah jati wira sukma
Bujur lalu, lintang patah
Redah mengejar cahaya
Kilauan di ruang fikir
Yang memanggil-manggil
Usir kelam di jiwa yang fakir
Moga nanti kan terpatri
Tugu minda bak mentari
Terangnya tampak geliga
Sinarnya tampak permata
Bangkitlah!!!
Melayang di sana melayang
Burung terbang pipiskan lada
Terbayang di mata terbayang
Tuan datang berlapang dada
Melati harumnya melati
Seri tari puteri menari
Menanti lamanya menanti
Suci hati paksi pekerti
Berserak kenanga berserak
Petang redup lamar pelangi
Semarak cahaya semarak
Suluh hidup menabur budi
Bertingkah riuhnya bertingkah
Dalam lagu seulas rindu
Pujangga persada pujangga
Hulur sakti murni hasratmu
Song Synopsis:
Life is full of obstacles, lingering around like madness awaiting for time to struck down the sanity :: Emotional outrages, past sins & sadness irritates the soulful mind, all of which are mere madness to humanity :: Often menkind rage war against themselves, fighting for what they know not of being either the truth or just the lust of their own desires :: Nevertheless, as a Khalifah on the earth; the lands of which belong to God; there is indeed a need to ponder upon the true criterias of a perfect Khalifah :: Knowledgable, Optimistic, Iman, Pure heart, Openness & Unity are but some of the shields to be used by the Khalifah in the challenge against the continuously attacking madness :: Surely, life is but a field for us to pave our way, choosing between the Gardens of Heaven or the Fires of Hell
Also with the opportunity, I'd like to bid Farewell to one of our Beloved GUBU members who has recently decided not to continue blogging due to private reasons :: With dearest intention, I bid Farewell to You Yasminci!! Hope to see you again in the blogging world :: Just BUZZ us in A-N-I if you happen to decide to re-blog wokey??
Salam Mesra Dalam Kesayuan;
Azam Membara Menggenggam Kejayaan!!

I am going to graduate from the oversea university this year. All these years that I had been spent in overseas, I have been thinking of should I go back to apply all the knowledge that I have learnt in overseas and contribute back to my country!
But I was attracted by the opportunity and the pay that they can give me. The main thing in oversea we all have equal opportunity. As long as you are hardworking you will have the chance to succeed.
This is different in Malaysia. Hardworking does not promise any good future. However, I choose to go back because I miss my family back home but I know after a few years time, if I have the chance, I will leave Malaysia to work overseas.
I will try to bring my family along. I know is hard for my parents to adapt the new place but I think it would be a best place to retire.
Does the government even do a survey on how many skilled people or students, they had lost in all these years either through emigration or students study in overseas and reluctant to go back!
How the country can transform into an advance country to compete with Australia, Canada and UK if the education is not up to the international level. One thing I can be sure is that Malaysian students are not stupid, we are just as smart as they do.
Come on, graduates defaulting on study loans and not returning home is a universal problem, not unique to Malaysia. One's loyalty is to oneself and family first. Look at Australia - every graduate from its universities has an open invitation to be a permanent citizen.
It is better to ask why Malaysia is not attractive to some graduates. Graduates of foreign varsities have the chance to experience a different lifestyle, one that perhaps, make them feel that is where they should grow new roots.
It has nothing to do with turning "against the country". Most of these graduates have the full support of their family for emigrating. If we go along that line of though, does it mean expiates working in Malaysia are not serving their country of origin?
People who decide to emigrate are not traitors. Traitors are those people who perpetuate a system of corruption and cronyism that destroy the nation cohesion and integrity.
Migrating is a personal choice but people who choose to stay behind to fight the system is the visionary. I hope there will be more Malaysians who can appreciate the essence of Bangsa Malaysia.
Let us vote in a government that will give a better life for all. For a start, we must give the opposition the chance to run two or three states so that they can prove their capability.
The bumis policy has bred a group of aborigines who are not competitive enough in the local open markets, that depend on scholarship for education, contract for business.
Indirectly, they are in a way victimised by corrupted cronies, who take the biggest pie under this policy. These have become the liability of nation. Barisan nuts - Get rid of it!
They always like to comfort rather than compete. But when they ready (force more like it) to compete, they will compete with the worst rather than the best.
Only who can save Malaysia? Well……….I think only God!
Badawi we all knows that you are a clueless and useless imbecile. The problem is that Badawi does not seem to realise that he is an imbecile. This is probably due to all the ball lickers polishing his knob everyday.
Malaysia as a country is finished economically because from the looks of things the Badawi imbecile will be in charge for the next coming 10 years or more. Neighboring countries like Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam is progressing culturally, economically, socially and politically while we are stuck with a stupid idiot.
Of all the brilliant and smart people in Malaysia we have to end up with Badawi. Welcome to Bolehland because even an idiot can become prime minister. Hahaha.
Prices of raw materials are rising, steel, solvent, plastic, etc, etc. Productivity is low, managers are quick in spending and slow in earning. Collection is slow and economy is sluggish. Interest rising and overall margin is down.
With employees especially the field personnel carrying company laptops surfing the net for songs and chatting with friends with hours stolen from the office. Children are chalking up more digits on cell-phone bill coupled with their increasing pocket money spent at coffee café for more talks.
Things are not looking good. Older generation like us have to work harder to support such phenomena.
Our academics must avoid corrupting habits of mind which finds reprehensible: Nothing in my view is more reprehensible than those habits of mind in the intellectual that induce avoidance, that characteristic turning away from a difficult and principled position which you know to be the right one, but which you decide not to take……….
Yes, in Malaysia we have cultivated a habit/mentality of 'avoid'.
We avoid work (seminars, privileges, meetings, committees, etc, etc, so we can skip from work),
we avoid taking prompt and appropriate action (waiting for inspiration to make simple decisions, setting up of commission this and commission that, and even avoid implementing recommendations tabled),
we avoid looking ourselves in the mirror and eventually we become ugly Malaysians,
we avoid going through the learning curve to hone our skills (sub-sub-sub out the jobs so we can be rent seekers and the guys whom we sub to, can also be a sub rent seekers),
we avoid confrontation and debate (OSA, ISA, etc, etc),
we avoid competition (special quota, special assistance, NEP, negotiated contract, etc, etc),
we also avoid being criticized for we are quick to penalized, with this we short ourselves from learning from mistakes and our weaknesses so necessary, for our improvement and progress in life.
I am a firm believer in psycho-cybernetics. I am not sure if the local media give any highlights to story like that which is much needed in our schools and universities to inspire and motivate the young to appreciate self reliance.
It is sad that the local media often splash and spin stories on mediocre achievements. In today global world, superb achievements by citizenry from other countries are readily available especially over the Internet.
Excessive rewards and blowing of the horn over mediocre achievement continue to flood the minds of our young into believing that, in Malaysia mediocre achievement is good enough and we are exempted from the higher standards from the rest of the world.
I am not sure how many Malaysians have emerged from their background of poverty to succeed in this world. One thing for sure, these people do not use poverty as an excuse not to put in an honest day hard work.
Today my son asked me an embarrassing question: Dad, what is a bumi?
I was embarrassed and told him: A bumi is someone who is always right. He was puzzled and asked me candidly: But if he says that 2 + 2 = 6, he should be wrong, shouldn't he?
I told him from my working experience in Malaysia, my son when you are non-malay and Malaysian, you will have to agree for that and even worst and smile. If you dare to argue you will be gently destroyed and degraded in your human dignity.
Whatever is your social position, situation or grade, any bumi even from the remotest kampung, even a mentally disabled bumi will always be right.
Then he asked, is there many bumi in the world? I told him that in South Africa 30 years ago and in Germany on the late 1930s there were some sorts of them.
I told him, do not worry son, you will not have to go through 2 + 2 = 6 always right losers, you will be Australian.
Badawi can formulate any policy. On the ground level where the heads are not qualified themselves as their staff - many problems will arise.
Further the NEP will somehow make good researchers frustrated and will certainly be the main causes of frustrations. At best we can get the second rate staff to stay - the top ones will have no problem seeking better salaries and futures elsewhere without the glass ceiling overhanging their heads.
Our national sense of belonging will be lost when day in and day out we feel the impact of marginalisation in almost every sphere of educational or economic activities.
I think we are in even more for hubs of abandoned projects because it is the brains that matters not real estate buildings which politicians are only good at how to initiate to build for their own gains. When coming to real research and real productive work, you only have lots of unemployable graduates lining up to fill them.
Best of luck Malaysia, while Malaysians of the best calibre are in our neighbouring countries creating state of art products and discoveries.
The people with brains first go to Singapore, then Australia, then the US/UK. Apparently roughly two million Malaysians have emigrated since the 1970s. Wow, what a brain drain that is……….
She/He did the right thing by moving out of Malaysia. As long as is a non-malay and Malaysian, you will be suppressed. They don't need scientists but more keris wielding morons to run the expensive labs.
So anytime the experiment didn't work out, they can go straight and blame that the equipment is outdated. Anybody disputes their claim, they can take out the keris and showed their "power". Good for them. Malaysia is turning to a baboon infested country.
Let alone those whose have already left. How about those who came back earlier with their foreign wives! The immigration department has made their renewal of visa a living hell, and they are not allowed to work no matter how qualified they may be. Eventually these "loyal Malaysians" also end up packing their bags and leave.
The politicians can say one thing but it never gets implemented at the ground level. Look at the mess surrounding Malaysia "My Second Home" campaign - how many have actually come here and then left in deep frustration!
The racists in Umno will also make certain that such policies will be doomed to fail. They would rather give citizenship to unruly and uneducated illegal Indonesians than some non-malay PhD holders.
Get your children out of this sucking country before it is too late! This is a hopeless and dirty country with all the corrupted politicians and lousy ministers.
I am afraid there is nothing second class citizens like us can do.
Emigrate to other countries looks to be a better option. Of course, the exodus has started decades ago. In fact, Umno will be most happy to see us go (race ratio, you know what I mean).
Umno does not depend on the second class citizens for the brains. They have the many universities in Bolehland to train their kind and churn out any number of experts you want. So brain drain is not a problem.
The NEP has only served a few. Its original motives were noble because weather you or I agree malays do need a lot of encouragement but not the sort that have been getting as opposed to the ones in Singapore.
In the 1970s in Singapore, O and A levels pass marks for Malays: 28%, Indians: 65%, Chinese: 75%, others: 50%.
This NEP trash only made the non-malays smarter and the malays more dumber. Pass mark for Singapore malays in state: 50%.
Singapore allow them to leave Singapore any time they want but they choose to stay because their kids are properly educate, got better opportunities, housing and health care……….And they are truly loyal to Singapore.
I would like to add further to what has mentioned.
(1) Singapore first president was a malay. The republic has also had two Indian presidents including the present one.
(2) It has had two Indian foreign ministers.
(3) The country present minister for education is an Indian.
(4) The republic Singapore has had two Indian deputy prime ministers including the current one.
(5) A former police chief (equivalent to Inspector-General of Police) was, yes, you guessed it, an Indian.
Can we ever expect such important government positions in Malaysia to be occupied by those representing the minority communities in Malaysia? I am afraid the minorities here can only dream.
As I said, the racial disharmony in Malaysia is not the cause of Malays, Indians or Chinese. The fault and blame lies squarely and directly on Umno and Umno Youth leaderships, and their barrel of race-based politics and policies.
Are the malays so impoverished in intellect and ability that they need handouts to survive?
The alternative already exists - the day the malays rely on themselves, not Umno, is the day they write their own destiny.
Protection for the malays means isolation for the malays. As long as they ask for more protection, they will be isolated from the progress of the world.
In the end, they will be hiding in caves like the Taliban. Nowhere to go because of inadequate skills, or skills that are not useful to the society and humankind at large.
Income and employment statistics show the Chinese are still ahead of other races but nowhere near pre-NEP levels.
The opportunities and aids provided under the NEP, if given to non-malays would propel them sky high in half the period. The hardship makes us wiser, stronger and better. Hence we always try our best for the better of our next generation.
It is true NEP has its good and its bad points depending on whose view you are looking at it.
The non-malays have been straddled with this law for a long time and I can see lots of dissatisfaction emerging from their rank. This can be seen by the ever-increasing number of emigration taking place as well as non-returning students from abroad.
I cannot start to call them traitors, as some of the malays here seem to imply on them. Put yourself in their shoe first and feel the full effect of the discrimination for over 30 years……….Do you think you will be happy? Anybody?
Want to know why the non-malays are all running away from Malaysia for greener pasture as malays call traitors and rats? Know that even rats must be wise to jump ship when the ship is sinking.
The government has been pushing the unity theme for Malaysia for a long time - the so-called Bangsa Malaysia. How do you unite people? How are you going to unite people of different races where one race enjoys more rights than other races? Unity can never happen if there is inequality.
So, if you don't want people to comment on your special rights, then don't talk about unity in front of the non-malays.
The next reason why the non-malays keep on condemning the special rights is because of the implementation of it. Does every malay has the chance to enjoy their special rights? From what non-malays have been seeing since the past till now, only the rich and powerful are enjoying it. The poor malays are still poor. How many poor malays were transformed from poverty to middle class?
Sure, what you talk about your experience might be true if you put it in a nutshell. You cite examples of success stories and cases which is what it should be. But don't use special rights to deny a fellow deserving Malaysian of that chance too.
If you don't trust your fellow countrymen, whom in the world are you going to put your faith into?
The reasons have been given, countless in fact. And I believe you can also see it for yourself what kind of state Malaysia is in now. No unity, no improvement in the competitiveness in Malaysia.
I believe no community will get stronger if it depends on protection all the time. In face of globalization, each one must pull its own weight but work as a team. Otherwise we go down together.
Yes!
5 of my closest friends who are highly qualified professionals in the IT, electronics and business areas are overseas doing very well indeed in Singapore, Mainland China, Canada, Australia.
All except for one started working in Malaysia and subsequently left. The one that didn't come back was because he started university late, and I told him not to return after realising the molasses we are in.
I didn't feel the need to get a PR somewhere as my job afforded me to travel often to make some extra do for a living. However, I believe it is time I join my friends in being able to have a 'Plan B' in the form of a PR in another country while my age and qualifications still affords to give qualifying points.
Goodness knows that while another May 13 or Indonesia riot may not happen, the country sure will not support the bringing up of a family in a conducive manner.
Better be a 'second class' citizen in countries that have no official policies for racism than in a country to be of 'equal citizenship' but with policies openly for racism. How do you explain to your kid that while you are equal, somebody else is more equal than you!
Bye!
Exodus of Malaysian professionals simply means outflow of monetary capital as well as human capital.
The winners of this scenario are the smart countries like Singapore, Australia and the US. By maintaining the good governance of the country, making it safe, clean and having equal opportunity for all to develop their potential to the fullest, they are able to skim off the cream of our country in terms of skill peoples, professionals and the capital.
Not every person could emigrate; the host country would pick and choose to ensure these emigrants are useful for them; unfortunately more often than not, these people are usually wealth creators or productive peoples who are actually badly needed by our own country.
Once these people are already out, it would be very difficult to get them back simply because we no longer could afford to get them back. These people include non-malays and malays simply for economics reason.
The economics force seeks to its own equilibrium like water flows to a lower point and man tries to go to the highest point. All the money, legal or illegal flow to this heaven perceived to be safe and the nearest one is Singapore.
Though there is ample of land in Australia, yet the property prices shoot rocket high because it is perceived as one of the few safe places in the world that one's generation could live well.
That makes the cost of migration heavy this day. The earlier one could migrate the better he would be. After all, the ringgit is shrinking day by day. In that sense, we already lose points in this competitive globalize market in securing useful productive people.
For an individual migrant, he is also a winner. Take an example of a family of three kids which emigrated to Australia in 1990. The price of the property has gone up five to six times. At the end of the day, the family has gained:
1. The children are PR automatically and enjoy equal employment opportunity with the Aussies in an income of 1:10 ratio compared to their counterparts in Malaysia.
2. Saving over a million ringgit in education fees over the three kids who are now professionals trained up by the Aussie land.
3. No doubt income tax is high, but one is guaranteed with unemployment benefit, medical and educational facility just in case.
Economics reasons dictate everything and forget about the patriotism. Just don't make people laugh!
We had sometime ago this Malaysia politician caught in the Brisbane carrying bags full of millions money trying to snatch properties there, and one prominent lady politician also was (not sure is still is) PR of Australia.
These so-called leaders are actually busy striping off country assets and busily shipping them to places like Singapore or Australia. They don't really care for the people but their own pockets, and when this is challenge by the people, the racial card is frequently produced to shut the people up.
How many times we have been threaten by the saying of the infamous keris wielding, May 13 and disturbance of hornet nest!
At least the emigrants and their descendents are earning honest money and contributing national building, to their host countries simply because they are grateful to them. They don't waste time in arguing how to divide a shrinking cake like in Bodohland.
To those who are qualified to emigrate, the destiny is at your own hand, make your choice. It is entirely your own right to seek a better place for you and your family in this world.
Living in the northern state ever since primary school, I told myself that Malaysia is not the country I want my family to lives, just in case. Seeking better education and employment opportunities elsewhere, my siblings left our hometown one by one, so did our neighbours.
None of my sibling resides in Malaysia and I am now a PR in another country but I came back. First, seeking business opportunity and second, I come back because this is my country.
Without the contributions of non-malays there will be no Malaysia, so why must I runaway and let the Umno-malays took over all the Chinese property we have earned through hard work.
The racist policies that Umno pursues, is putting this country in a brink of collapse. On the surface; it seems like nothing is worth fighting, millions of non-malays have left; perhaps million more will go; then how?
I encourage my brothers and sisters not to come back to Malaysia, now I believe strongly I have done the right thing.
Some nights, when the air is cool, when you are sitting out in the garden thinking about your loves ones, and wondering if you have given them the right suggestions about not returning to Malaysia, especially when your parents are old, very much pressurising but..........
Everyday when we read the papers, we begun to realised the stupidity of our advice, the fact is like in the film Jurassic Park:
Nature will finds its way (to survive), we don't need to give advices like these, they are afraid for us and they are learned, like my brother now oversea, says to me that "he has made the right choice not to return back", my bro-in-law intends to migrate next year, we are not on the talking terms and therefore I have nowhere to persuade him, he is a professional, he is made up his mind.
In short, exodus has already happened, no need for us to encourage this phenomenon, just let nature and the Umno-malays run its course. Let us pray that we have an exit ticket.
Emigrating from a developing country to a developed country is one of the most important decision of one's life - career, family and financially.
With globalisation and the world becoming borderless, mobility of business and employment is important to ensure your security and success.
At this moment, India, with its English education, is the biggest exporter of professional human resources. Soon you will see them in all parts of the world. China is its industrial power. Imagine, with 45% of world population, you combine the two.
There are increasingly strong competition for a better life and place out there.
The culture of jealousy never die. Mahathir promoted the sense of jealousy of malays against non-malays to get into power.
He promoted again jealousy of Malaysians, and malays in particular against the son in law of Badawi to throw Badawi out, so that his nominees can go in.
Now it is generally accepted that jealousy between races has a legitimate claim to attention. Then NEP will not go way and Najib claimed that there cannot be a time limit for NEP.
His father asked for 20 years, and he now says 200 years, until the country is taken over by foreign power, whichever is earlier.
Let us not provide excuse to Umno.
