Should we do something? In name of Malaysia and Islam

Shock or terrified? I dont know which is my impression when i passed a book store today.

Harian Metro, front page ”Tersungkur di lembah hina “

LONDON: Dia dikenali sebagai kanak-kanak genius matematik dan mendapat tempat di Universiti Oxford ketika usianya baru 13 tahun. …

Yes, she once a malaysian sweetheart, eventhough there are voices questioning was her? Her now-in-jail father is a Pakistan. The man who responsible to create her and her mathematical genius (i would say ability).

What actually happens to her? Most important, who discover her? And was she related to us? Related to Malaysia?

Googling her wasnt a difficult task, not many site have her story so for me the analysist would be simple and much easier to get to the prime source. Till the time I am writing, only a bunch of people had commented on her and mine would be another next.

According to them, sufiah story had been published by UK Newspaper, News of The World and The Telegraph, the article was written by the same author, Megan Levy. But both sources didn’t actually tell her real story I think. And I doubt if she knows that she’s being interview. This surfaced another doubt, was she is the real Sufiah Yusuf? The article started on how their spy had met Sufiah and how she stripped her clothes to her skin and dance on the bed. Then, on how sufiah have admitted to Oxford, thanks to her father’s famous Accelerated Learning Technique. The papers also described sufiah’s father as “her domineering dad Farooq” and unfortunately he was jailed for sexually assaulting two 15-year-old girls as he home-tutored them in maths.
I read the article at news of the world more than 5 times (and please, not because of the pictures), and still i cant help questioning was she Sufiah Yusuf? Maybe, only her mother who could verify the picture.But I am glad, she was never ever be described as a Malaysian or a Melayu in both of the prime sources.

Well, for any further reading, you could go here

News Of The WorldThe Telegraph

Update 01 April 2008: Utusan Malaysia today had interview Sufiah’s relative here in Johor, Malaysia. They was on her mother side .

Another article related to Sufiah story is a pschologist opinion over what Sufiah thinks.

Update 02 April 2008 : The Ministers had open their mouths. Dato Zahid Hamidi,Minister at Prime Minister Department says, Malaysian Goverment are finding ways to help Sufiah since it was such a waste if we let her be. And they believe, the life she ran is not the one she want. Read more.

Update 03 April 2008 : Googling “sufiah yusuf” or “shilpa lee” would only returned lame news. Malaysian newspaper also repeating the same point of her story. Today they said sufiah had stop her study since 2000, which already being reported in News of The World. I’m thinking that malaysia’s reporter had nothing else to write but thier editor still firing the reporter’s ass for more story. And the editors are happy still eventhough thier stuff just copy, translate and paste.

I’m quite seeing from far where Sufiah’s Story would end. When next week come, people would forget about her as what happen tu Sharlinie, Atlantuya, Norita (all were female?) etc. Pitty to Asmawi @ Awie, the boy who missing at MidValley, lack media coverage been given to him, I wonder if people knew that Awie had dissappear as they know Sharlinie?

Again, I want to see what is happening tomorrow?

My final week at CMRS Sdn Bhd. Masih belum ada hints atau petunjuk untuk mengambarkan letak duduk aku for next week. Will I stay or will they kick me out gracefully?

Nobita's Drawer

I have no appetite for news paper or tv bulletin since last week. Watching tv is not fun anymore. For the first time of my life I really care about current politics, read: general election. May be because my name had been listed in , SPR database, I was soo excited when I register as a voter 4 years ago, on 02 September 2004. But now, being a voter really disrupting me. As a voter at ”negeri panas” known as Kelantan, it takes quite a burden to me.

I feel like I need to take it very serious, should I vote for old gov or for the new one?Making decisions require us to expect the consequences of the path we going to take and we’ll be the best decision maker if we can see the future. Well, yesterday I suddenly felt I had understand why Robert Zameric and Speven Speilberg create Back To The Future. It not just a hunger to remedy the past you made or to buy an Almanac so you could win the lotteries or race bets but it was to get a foresight of what is happening in the future.I hope on my way back home this evening, Prof. Brown will pop out in front of me with the new De Lorean (which could fly since SS15 evening traffic wont permit speed to exceed 80 mph). I’ll ask him to bring me to year 2009 or 2010, before that we’ll stop at 7E for a can of Carlsberg to refuel De Lorean. What will happen to Kelantan if the new gov sit the state? Will there any new mosque? Will there be new shop lots not own by PR relatives? Will there new asphalts or promised highway? Will there Sport Toto and Magnum shops? Will the scenery paint a small difference or a total difference?
Campaign van (in 1985): Re-elect mayor Goldie Wilson! Progress is his middle name. Mayor Wilson’s progress platform means more jobs, better education, bigger civic improvements and lower taxes! On election day, cast your vote for a proven leader… -taken from Back To The Future :1985

All I can say, Kelantan-ians want to see the progress as they promised. Just want to see, not hunger as they pictured in the tele. Each time I watch them picturing Kelantan as a state of poverty, we lived like those in year 1980’s, I feel aches in my heart, we at kelantan didn’t live in such a picture. We run our life happily, the food here are half of the price in KL. We also effected when they raised the petrol price, still we are breathing, the graph didn’t show any increase of death because we can’t afford to pay for the food.

Hehe, I sounded rebel. Nope, just a thought, the campaign strategy wasn’t very educated, even though it produced by an educated party.

Right now, I’m just hoping that I’ll make a correct decision starting from how I am going to go back to kg this 8 of March 2008.
