the ugly Malaysian

Hadith :DaripadaAbu Hurairah r.a, sabda Rasulullah s.a.w, maksudnya:“Janganlah kamu membenci bapa-bapa kalian. Sesiapa yang membenci bapanya bererti ia kafir.”

 Riwayat MuslimHuraian
1. Seorang ibu mahupun bapa tidak akan menjadi ibu dan bapa tanpa anak-anak dan begitulah sebaliknya. Oleh itu ibu bapa berhak mendapat penghormatan daripada anak-anak mereka sama sebagaimana anak-anak mereka berhak mendapat kasih sayang daripada ibu bapa. 
2. Islam melarang keras anak-anak mencela atau memarahi ibu bapa dengan bahasa yang kasar. Anak yang mengasari ibu bapa dianggap sebagai anak derhaka yang diharamkan syurga ke atasnya oleh Allah S.W.T di akhirat kelak. 
3. Oleh itu bagi mendapatkan anak-anak yang baik, ibu bapa hendaklah terlebih dahulu menunjukkan pergaulan yang baik dengan anak-anak. Apabila anak-anak yang soleh ini dapat dibentuk, tiadalah permusuhan dan perbalahan dalam keluarga. Masing-masing akan saling sayang menyayangi antara satu dengan lain.

There’s quite a number of things that makes us pissy and definitely not proud of being a Malaysian

• rushing into the lift when people are trying to get out. suspect that it’s the Malaysian public transport syndrome - public transport in Malaysia is so very bad, you’ll need to rush through the doors to ensure you get home. That said, no excuse for people to be so inconsiderate.
• you open the door for yourself/family/friend, and this stranger rushes through before you can exit- to add insult to injury, you get no thanks!
• people who toss rubbish out of their cars 
• double parking and inconveniencing other drivers. check out You Park Like An Asshole
• Always late for a meeting / event. ‘on the way, on the way…’ is a frequently used and abused phrase. liberally used, even though you just got out of bed and is already 30 minutes late

Kenge Kenge brings African Music to Rainforest World Music Festival:

Kenge Kenge symbolizes all that is great about African traditional music; a sound that’s a masterful guardian of an ancient but living tradition. This group breathes new life into Kenya’s Luo musical roots, transforming it into a modern, guitar-based hybrid of past meets present. Dense textures of rhythm and chant are overlaid with an unusual assortment of self-made traditional instruments, but the singing is in fact the central event, and it is strong and generous, full of character and contrast.

Hadith :Seorang lelaki bertanya:“ Wahai Rasulullah sesungguhnya aku mempunyai beberapa orang kerabat, yang hubungan aku erat dengan mereka tetapi mereka memutuskannya. Aku berbuat baik kepada mereka tetapi mereka berperangai buruk kepadaku, aku bersabar mengahadapi sikap mereka itu tetapi mereka menganggap sikapku itu adalah bodoh.” Kemudian baginda menjawab,” Sekiranya benar sepertimana yang engkau katakan itu maka seolah-olah engkau menyuap mereka dengan abu yang panas, sedangkan engkau sentiasa mendapat pertolongan daripada Allah Taala selama mana engkau berada di dalam kebenaran atas perkara yang demikian itu”. Riwayat Muslim

Huraian
1.Islam mengajar umatnya supaya banyak bersabar di dalam semua keadaan sama ada ketika senang atau pun susah kerana ia merupakan pengukur darjat keimanan seseorang.
2.Islam mengajar umatnya supaya jangan membalas keburukan orang sebaliknya menambahkan lagi kebaikan terhadap mereka mudah-mudahan dengan itu hati mereka menjadi lembut dan baik.
3.Allah sentiasa memberi pertolongan kepada orang yang sentiasa sabar dan benar dalam bertindak.
4.Setiap umat Islam wajib menghubungkan silaturrahim dan haram memutuskannya.

Tim's parents work in West Malaysia


Their very own church building


Congregation continues to grow

Here are some of the pictures shared at Chapel of Hope Sunday worship service on June 19, 2011 by Hannah, a Korean missionary working among the Orang Asli (native peoples) in Malaysia.

Hannah and her husband (Im YH) have been doing their missionary work in Malaysia since 1992. There is a growing need for evangelism as the Malaysian government is at work to Islamize the largely animistic population deep in the jungles. The Ims’ ministry focuses on getting the financial support from Korea and elsewhere to help construct church buildings and establish strong local Christian leadership among the Orang Asli people.

Please continue to pray for them.

No.5-THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE

Recommendations from personal acquaintances or opinions posted by consumers online are the most trusted forms of advertising, according to the latest Nielsen Global Online Consumer Survey of over 25,000 Internet consumers from 50 countries.

Ninety percent or consumers surveyed noted that they trust recommendations from people they know, while 70 percent trusted consumer opinions posted online.

“The explosion in Consumer Generated Media over the last couple of years means consumers’ reliance on word of mouth in the decision-making process, either from people they know or online consumers they don’t, has increased significantly,” says Jonathan Carson, President of Online, International, for the Nielsen Company.”

However, in this new age of consumer control, advertisers will be encouraged by the fact that brand websites are trusted at that same 70 percent level as online consumer opinions.

Carson adds, “We see that all forms of advertiser-led advertising, except ads in newspapers, have also experienced increases in levels of trust and it’s possible that the CGM revolution has forced advertisers to use a more realistic form of messaging that is grounded in the experience of consumers rather than the lofty ideals of the advertisers.”

 

Brands Gaining Global Trust… In Some Regions More Than Others

In the two years the biannual study has been conducted, brand sponsorship has seen the greatest increase in levels of trust from 49 percent of Internet consumers in April 2007 to 64 percent in April 2009. Regionally, Latin American countries lead the way with 81 percent of both Colombian and Venezuelan Internet consumers and 79 percent of Brazilians trusting brand sponsorships. In contrast, sponsorships hold the least sway amongst Swedish (33 percent), Latvian (36 percent) and Finnish online consumers (38 percent). In comparison, 72 percent of United States Internet consumers trust brand sponsorships, placing the United States 12th out of the 50 countries represented in the survey.

Brand websites, globally the most trusted form of advertiser-led advertising, hold the greatest sway in China (82 percent). Following China are Pakistan (81 percent) and Vietnam (80 percent). However, brand websites tend to be trusted least amongst Swedish (40 percent) and Israeli (45 percent) Internet consumers. In the US, 62 percent of Internet consumers said they trusted brand sponsorships, placing the United States 21st out of the 50 countries surveyed.

“The regional differences provide a clear guide to advertisers as to how they should focus their ad strategy in different countries. It also shows that, despite the authority of word of mouth when it comes to consumer decision-making, advertisers still have a major say in the process. This is backed up by past Nielsen studies which showed that the majority of people posting comments online went to the advertiser website or emailed feedback to the company before they posted. The website, and monitoring feedback through it, is a golden opportunity for advertisers to shape the tone and content of consumer opinion before it reaches the digital masses,” said Carson.
