Melayu

Penulis pernah mendengar satu ceramah agama daripada al-Fadhil Ustaz Dato' Shamsuri Haji Ahmad pernah menyatakan bahawa nasib Melayu di Malaysia akan menjadi seperti nasib rakyat Palestin.

Pada awalnya penulis menganggap ini sebagai satu kenyataan tanpa sandaran, akan tetapi apabila beliau menceritakan dengan lebih lanjut mengenai sejarah rakyat Palestin pada suatu ketika dahulu mereka memiliki tanah yang banyak tetapi pada hari mereka terpaksa merintih di tanah air sendiri akibat dari beberapa faktor yang menyokong ke arah penjarahan Yahudi laknat itu.

1. Faktor kekuasaan atau pemerintahan pada ketika itu, iaitu pada awalnya Palestin berada di bawah pemerintahan Utmaniyah namun akibat daripada kegilaan kuasa oleh golongan arab mereka sanggup memberi tanah Palestin kepada British. Jadi British membawa masuk pemuka-pemuka Yahudi.

2. Faktor kedua juga dapat dilihat, tanah Baitul Maqdis dari dahulu lagi memang sentiasa berada dalam keadaan peperangan atau lebih tepat lagi peperangan di antara agama untuk merebut tanah ini. Pada hari ini Yahudi berperang dengan Islam, jika teliti terlebih dahulu sejarahnya, Yahudi ini baru sahaja muncul di abad ke 20. Sebelum itu lagi tanah ini sebagai tanah perebutan atau Tanah Beharga. Dahulu Islam berperang dengan Kristian, bagaimana kemashuran peperangan pada zaman Saidina Umar sehingga Salahuddin al-Ayubi. Pada masa itu sudah berapa kali tempat ini menjadi lokasi peperangan.

3. Pada zaman sebelum adanya Rasulullah juga, tanah ini terlibat dalam peperangan yang hebat. Jadi kawasan ini semamangnya penuh dengan aksi peperangan.

4. Atas faktor keempat, masyarakat Palestin memberi tanah atau menjual tanak mereka kepada pemuka Yahudi. Mungkin di atas ketamakan harta mereka menjual tanah pada ketika itu dengan harga yang tinggi daripada semasa dan mereka "terliur" dengan tawaran harga pada ketika itu.

Berdasarkan faktor yang keempat inilah Melayu juga ditipu. Faktor ketamakan menjadi asas kepada Melayu berkemungkinan menjadi tersisih seperti bangsa Palestin itu. Bagaimana terdapat kes di Pulau Pinang masyarakat Melayu menjual tanah mereka kepada para cukong yang amat menggemari tanah orang Melayu. Begitu juga di tempat-tempat lain. Ini adalah masalah sikap masyarakat kita yang inginkan kekayaan dengan segera. Dan tidak mustahil kata-kata dan pandangan Dato' Shamsuri itu.

Begitu juga dengan kenyataan oleh bekas PM Tun. Dr. Mahathir menyakatakan perbandingan orang Melayu di Malaysia dan Singapura. Persoalannya benarkah Melayu Singapura berasa selesa seperti yang dimomok di dada akhbar?

Mungkin mereka selesa disebabkan mereka dikenali sebagai Singaporean tetapi bukan dikenali sebagai Melayu lagi. Sehinggakan bahasa Melayu pun tidak difahami.

Amazing Comeback ! Glory MU

Manchester United pulled off another one of their astonishing comebacks to keep their Premier League unbeaten record intact. Blackpool had taken a 2-0 lead, but Manchester United fought back to win 3-2, with Dimitar Berbatov scoring his second goal in the 87th minute of a controversial match.

Manchester United vs Blackpool

Menjelang pertemuan pada pagi ini, perlawanan di antara MU bertemu Blackpool. Satu perlawanan yang boleh dianggap sebagai nostalgik. Sebagaimana diulas dan diulangi oleh dua lagenda bola sepak Inggeris iaitu Sir Bobby Charlton dan Jimmy Armfield. Pertemuan kali kedua dalam masa 40 tahun. Mari kita mengikuti ulasan dan kenangan mereka berdasarkan laporan Steve Curry.

Sir Bobby Charlton

Match details: how they stood

It was a fitting finale to Jimmy's career and one I look back on with fondness. By then we had become firm friends because not only had we played in the same army sides when we were both doing national service, but we were pals from our appearances with England.

Jimmy had not won his first cap when I became a regular in the side, but between 1961 and 1964 we were both usually in Alf Ramsey's team.

Of course, in those days there were a lot more Lancashire derbies because clubs like Blackpool, Blackburn, Burnley, Manchester United, Preston, Bolton and Everton were all in the first division.

At that time we were all earning the same wages, no matter who you played for, and there was a great camaraderie.

By the time that final game between the clubs came around, Jimmy and I had become firm friends. He was a lovely man and was really Mr Blackpool, as many people still see him.

There were some big names in the Blackpool side of that generation and, as a young player coming into the side, he was able to mix and play with his heroes Stanley Matthews and Stan Mortensen. He was one of the pioneering, overlapping full backs and operated down the same right flank as Matthews.

West Ham were the first team to introduce a players' lounge, where both teams could mix and have a drink, and that later became common when we went to these derbies.

There will be nobody prouder than Jimmy about Blackpool once again playing the top sides and there will be a lot of nostalgia in the air this evening.

I'm pleased to say that our friendship is as strong now as it was when we played together. Jimmy has become one of the most respected match analysts on radio and, like me, he has stayed in touch with the game. He has always been a gentleman and a great model as a player and as a man.

Jimmy Armfield

I shall always remember that last game against United and I find it astonishing that the two teams have not met since then. This is a big occasion, a landmark for Blackpool.

After I had been diagnosed with a chronic knee problem, the consultant advised me not to carry on playing and I felt it was fitting that United were the opposition for my last game because Bobby would be there.

Born: Manchester, 1935.

CAREER

Blackpool: 626 appearances, 1954-1971.

England: 43 caps (15 as captain), 1959-1966.

• Voted best right back at 1962 World Cup.

• Voted best right back in Europe in 1962, '63 and '64.

• Member of England's World Cup-winning squad in 1966 but didn't play after losing out to George Cohen.

There were 30,000 in the ground for the farewell and both sides lined up to form a guard of honour as I ran out on the pitch. I recall posing for the photographers alongside Bobby.

We earned a 1-1 draw in that game - a good result for us then, as it would be tonight. I don't recall being too emotional after the game, although I am quite a sensitive type. I was realistic enough to know nothing goes on forever.

I had played until I was almost 36 and my routine has always revolved around Blackpool Football Club. On that last day, I can remember Tony Green scored our goal and that at the end all the fans came on to the pitch to say their farewells.

Bobby and I have sustained our friendship over the years and, in fact, we were together very recently at a function staged by the Lancashire Partnership Against Crime, which I chair.

It was a nostalgic get-together because I also invited Roger Hunt, Ian Callaghan and John Connelly, so we had five members of the World Cup squad from 1966. I'm just hoping I can meet up with Bobby on what I know will be an emotional night for Blackpool.

Apakah Peranan Akhbar?

Akhbar atau surat yang setiap hari mengkhabarkan sesuatu perkara yang telah terjadi atau yang akan terjadi. Akhbar pada hari ini cuba mencari selera baru melihat kepada cara memikat pembaca, dengan meletakkan berita-berita yang tidak memberi pulangan idea kepada pembaca.

Jika melihat sepintas lalu dalam seminggu ini, boleh dikatakan berita di akhbar melaporkan perkara yang ingin disangsikan bagi menarik perhatian pembaca. Cerita dan cara pengkhabaran tidak seimbang di antara tuntutan rohani dan jasmani. Tidak perlu melihat kepada akhbar Metro dan Kosmo yang sudah tentu melaporkan di muka hadapannya berita sensasi seperti goreng pisang panas. Panas hanya untuk seketika buat tatapan remaja dan pembaca yang dahagakan perkara sensasi.

Sebagai melaporkan berita, seharusnya berita yang ingin dilaporkan seharusnya meletak nilai agama atau moral sesuatu berita dihadirkan di dada akhbar, bukan untuk tujuan ekonomu semata-mata.
