True Football Fan?

      Well, I had to say at first I am a stalwart Liverpool fan. But, I am not the one who likes to criticize other teams whenever they lose even though they usually do that when Liverpool does not perform and loses the game. I just want to share my feelings on today’s so called football fan.

      I would like to start with a Liverpool supporter.  I always update myself with Liverpool team’s news. I watch all EPL games and champions league. However, I won’t watch League cup and FA cup. I do watch only Liverpool qualify till at least quarter final. There is a friend of mine who so called a Liverpool fan. He talks big as though his is number 1 Liverpool fan. But, not a single game of the season he has watched!! Usually he says he had work to be done. Have to study and so on. It is okay with me. Liverpool vs. Manchester United is one of the most important game is EPL, he doesn’t watch that game. At the end of the game, I had to be the football analysis, saying everything to him, whether Gerrard has played well or not and so on.

      Another friend of mine which I get to know 5 years ago, he was a book worm. He won’t watch football. Whenever we (group of friends) are going to watch the game, he will ask, “why bother wasting your 2 hours for watching the games? See the newspaper next day, you will know the result.” I don’t really bother about him because, he is like that.so what can I do? What really bother me are the past few months. The same guy is posting status in FB about Manchester United. I think he had become a Manchester United’s fan. It’s ok and very much astounding. Good for him .He has a life. But, what makes me angry is he started to condemn all other teams. Come on bro, you just started to watch football and support, don’t be too arrogant. I had respect to all my other Manchester United’s fan friends, because they stood up, they supported all the time. They supported Manchester United, when the team suffered defeat, but this guy?  Not at all!

      Every single man loves if he finds a girl who loves watching football. The best example would be Jay Menon. Tell me, who doesn’t love her? Anyway she’s hot. But girls please don’t update you Facebook status if you got no clue about what happened in the particular match and claim yourself as a goddess of football world. Girls please behave. We always love a girl who talks and watches football, because we think that’s sexy for a girl. But when you get mixed up with the facts on football, trust me girls, you will become our best enemy.

      I seriously don’t understand this situation, people support a football club just because they want to celebrate or win. Most of them are Manchester United’s fan. My cousin who is a 5 years old supports Manchester United.  I wonder why he chooses Manchester United. I asked him. He said, because of Cristiano Ronaldo. So now Ronaldo is in real Madrid, so you support real Madrid? F*** You. If that is the case, do not claim that you support the team, you should be claiming that you support the player.You support a team because of their play style, strategy, creativity and it makes you happy whenever they play.  When, Steve Mcmanaman left, Owen left, Torres left, Alonso left, and I still support Liverpool. Stupid kids! (P/S: 5 years old cousin refers here to the people who have such mentality)

Di mana silapnya?

Nama diberi Kelantan Darul Naim, ibu negerinya pula Kota Bharu. Kelantan sering disebut-sebut antara negeri termiskin di Malaysia. Sejauh manakah benar kenyataan itu?

Kelantan sudah lebih daripada 20 tahun di bawah pemerintahan PAS, dibawah kepimpinan Tok Guru Nik Aziz. Mengapa rakyat Kelantan begitu menyayangi menteri besarnya?  Hal ini kerana kepimpinan Tok Guru sendiri. Tok Guru merupakan seorang  yang rendah diri, penyayang dan kuat pegangan agama. Apabila disebut “kuat pegangan agama”, rakyat berbangsa Cina, India dan bukan beragama Islam yang lain bersama bimbang dan takut. 

Saya ada 1 cerita yang saya hendak kongsi bersama anda. Sahabat saya berbangsa Cina hari itu kebetulan ke Kelantan. Dia menginap di rumah abang saudaranya ( Ah Seng, bukan nama sebenar) yang menetap di negeri Kelantan. Tempoh hari, kereta Ah Seng, “brake-down” di tengah-tengah jalan. Ketika itu, Ah Seng bersama isterinya yang sarat mengandung.  Tiba-tiba, sebuah kereta menghampiri dan seorang pemuda berbangsa Melayu keluar dari kereta tersebut lalu menyuruh Ah Seng mengahantar isterinya ke rumah terlebih dahulu.

              “Tadi saya lalu jalan ini. Bos saya nampak kereta u. Die tengok bini u mengandung. Dia soh saya cepat-cepat hantar balik rumah dan suruh saya datang tolong u. U guna saya punya kete, hantar bini u balik rmh dulu. Kete nanti pk mcm mana nk setel, “kata pemuda itu.

                “Terima kasih banyak. Saya hargai sangat-sangat.Sape u punya bos? Saya nk jumpa dan ucap terima kasih la, “ balas Ah Seng.

                “ MB Kelantan, Tok Guru Nik Aziz, “ jawab pemuda itu.

Keperihatinan pemimpin seperti ini yang membuatkan rakyat Kelantan menyokong kepimpinan beliau. Perwatakan beliau cukup “simple”, tidak mewah, dan menunjukkan kehidupan sebagai seorang pemimpin yang sederhana. Beliau tidak kaya, tidak memiliki tanah mahupun banglo. Jika hendak berjumpa dengan beliau, bila-bila sahaja boleh berjumpa dengannnya, tidak perlu mengambil "appointment" terlebih dahulu.

 Agama Islam terpelihara di samping menghormati kebebasan penganut-penganut lain untuk mengamalkan agama masing-masing. Di Kelantan, tiada 1 surau mahupun kuil yang dirobohkan. Ini sudah cukup jelas menunjukkan tindakan memartabatkan agama Islam serta menghormati kepercayaan agama lain.



Malah kes murtad di Kelantan pula adalah sifar.

          

 Beberapa tahun dahulu, saya menuntut di sebuah kolej matrikulasi. Sahabat saya yang asalnya dari negeri Kelantan memakai t-shirt yang terpampang slogan :

 “KELANTAN, TIADA HASIL KECUALI  KECEMERLANGAN”

Saya pada mulanya tidak begitu memahami mengapa dia memakai baju tersebut. Seperti orang lain, saya memikir “ biasa la budak Kelantan” . Tetapi, saya berfikir sejenak, di Kelantan tiada IPTA mahupun kolej matrikulasi (ketika itu, Universiti Malaysia Kelantan  tidak wujud lagi. Pengambilan pelajar untuk UMK bermula pada tahun 2007). Tetapi rakyat Kelantan ada sahaja di semua tempat. Sebelum itu, saya belajar di SBP pun, ramai yang berasal dari Kelantan. Dari sektor perniagaan pula, banyak sahaja kedai-kedai yang dimiliki oleh rakyat Kelantan, terutamanya di Kuala Lumpur.  Tetapi saya runsing kerana sejak kebelakangan ini, kawasan berniaga sudah diambil alih oleh rakyat Indonesia, terutamanya di Chow Kit. Adakah sudah tiada rakyat Melayu yang ingin menceburi bidang perniagaan? Mengapa peluang perniagaan boleh diberikan kepada rakyat asing?

Perbualan saya dengan beberapa rakan saya yang berasal dari negeri lain pula, saya telah mendapat beberapa mitos tentang rakyat Kelantan. Antaranya :

 1. “ Orang Kelantan nie semangat negeri die kuat sangat la bro”

 2. “Kalo ko nk kawen, jangan kawen bdk Kelantan, bro. Nanti raya, ko balik Kelantan jelah. Kecian mak bapak ko kat sini, tak kesah r ko laki ke pompuan ke “

 3. “Kelantan dh menang Piala Malaysia. Hbs r, sampai ke tahun depan r die rayakan kemenanganya”

4. “Cube ko lepak ngan budak Kelantan. Xkesah r ko rapat mana pon ngan die, ble die jumpa org negeri die, tros je die lupa kat kita. Mula la kecek Kelantan. Dh la ak xphm bahasa die.”

Lagi satu isu yang sering dikaitkan adalah semangat kenegerian. Secara jujurnya, saya tiada masalah orang Kelantan sayang akan negerinya. Persoalannya, mengapa rakyat negeri lain tidak menyayangi negeri masing-masing? Contoh paling senang adalah, perlawanan bola sepak. Saya berasal dari Kuala Lumpur. Stadium Cheras susah sangat hendak penuh walaupun kepadatan penduduk Kuala Lumpur adalah tertinggi di Malaysia. Dulu semasa zaman 90-an ramai sahaja yang menyokong KLFA. Tetapi apabila KLFA sudah tidak menyinar, hilang terus peminat KLFA.  Apabila skuad bola sepak Kelantan bermain di gelanggang lain pula, penyokong Kelantan lagi ramai dari penyokong tuan rumah, apatah lagi bermain di stadium sendiri. Bukankah kalau lagi ramai penyokong, lagi meriah liga tempatan kita dan pemain-pemain kita lagi bersemangat hendak beraksi? Secara tidak langsung, hal ini dapat memartabatkan bukan sahaja sukan bola sepak, malah sukan-sukan lain. Tetapi, semua penyokong harus menghormati penyokong negeri lain. Tidak salah kita hendak menyokong negeri kita, tetapi jangan hina mahupun aibkan negeri lain kerana :

                               “AFTER ALL, WE ARE MALAYSIAN”

Setelah puas bertukar pendapat, saya sendiri pun tidak pasti mengapa isu negeri Kelantan ini selalu timbul. Apa yang saya boleh sarankan adalah kita harus bersatu di bawah 1 bumbung, iaitu Islam (kerana penduduk Kelantan majoritinya beragama Islam). Bagi pembaca yang bukan beragama Islam pula, tidak perlu khuatir kerana kita masih boleh bersatu di bawah 1 nama iaitu, Malaysia. Elakkan sengketa dan perbalahan. Tunjukkan kasih sayang antara satu sama lain. Harus diingat ,apabila kita berbalah sesama sendiri, rakyat Singapura gelak dan rakyat Indonesia pula tepuk tangan. Hujung tahun ini, Malaysia akan menjadi tuan rumah untuk Piala Suzuki AFF. Oleh sebab itu, kita kena kuatkan semangat kenegaraan dan Harimau Malaya supaya dapat pertahankan gelaran. Saya meminta sokongan penyokong dari semua negeri turun dan sila penuhkan stadium. Kalau tersalah kata mahupun terguris hati, harap dimaafkan.

ARTIKAL INI DITULIS OLEH SEORANG RAKAN KARIB KAMI. KAMI TIADA APA-APA KAITAN DENGAN ISI KANDUNGAN ARTIKAL INI. KAMI KETENGAHKAN CERITA INI KERANA BELIAU MEMPUNYAI SEMANGAT ANAK JATI MALAYSIA.

An insight on KONY 2012 - Learn the Truth Now

Recently we have been hit by social network campaign by Invisible Children Inc. Their campaign was to make Joseph Kony famous thus bringing him to the face of justice for his war crimes. To the readers of freemahesa, we support to stop Joseph Kony and bring him to the faces of justice. What we don't support his the methods proposed by the Invisible Children Inc. that is by American army intervention thus enforcing the Uganda People's Defense Front (UPDF). Joseph Kony was the Leader of Lord's Resistance Army (LRA).

We do not say that you should not support this campaign but do some research and learn the truth before you donate. Please assure where your money goes. It is surprising that a charitable orgainsation has 'Inc.' after its name and we strongly suspect the US government for showing special interest after oil was found in Uganda.

Dear Readers, do not believe what you see and hear. Please do your research.  I have posted few links and video for you to start your research. I am sorry for I am not able to summarize it for you. I will do it when I have the time.  Be an informed Community.
