a'kum, i just want to share with you all about something.... actually, they are not intelligent at all, you know why? its b'cause, the person who memorising Al-Quran is more intelligent. Malaysian also develope a new course for sc extream course. for those who are the spm candidate are able to join this course. this course is a speacial course for them because, even they want to be profesioanl person in whatever course such us medic, eng and ect, they are also able to join with maahad tahfiz darul quran.... so.. malaysia will produce a doctor or other profesionallis memorising al-quran. if a person use only their left hemisphere in their brain is not efective, but, memorising al-quran, will use both of the hemisphere.... that are the advantages for those memorising al-quran.... MALAYSIAN are the best too wallahu 'alam ----------------- believe, persist and archive

nice idea zahrawi.. i agree with that, we must take e potential of quran at e highest level not only to memorize it but also to applicate it in life as e way of life and human solutions solver.. ~Whenever you feel that Everything was going wrong, It's just Allah way to make our spirit strong~ [ Posting ini telah di edit oleh: lang_biru pada 2003-07-20 10:20 ]

I definitely agree with azzahrawi...before during muslims in the peak of its knowledge, one of the pre-requisites before embarking in any kind of field like engineering, medicine or accounting, one needs to be memorised the whole Quran. There was a story on Ibn Taimiyah...Apart from beieng ulama, he also was an excellent history teacher...one day there was a student coming to him to learn history...and the first question Ibn Taimiyah asked was...have u memorised the Quran? and the students says...no i havent't...After all Ibn Taimiyah asked him to go back and try to memorise the quran before coming to him. Actually, without quran we cannot live as what we are now. Al-Quran comprises of every single thing in this world...from how to bake a cake until how to govern a group of people. We need people who are mastering worldy knodlege but at the same time also a good islamic scholars...InsyaAllah we try our best to be the champion of everything.

assalamualaykum, wow! that is why during muslims in the peak of its knowledge, we produced more scholars than European countries.but now we forget about memorizing quran as a prerequisite of every other knowledge..however I'm glad that Malaysia has a better Islamic edu than other countries. although we are not arabic speaking country, arab people shock when they notice that we borrow some arabic language in our daily conversation( such as tauhid,ana, solat,)and most of us can understand simple arabic (such as ahlan wa sahlan). I do not know that UIA offers a good combination of Islamic studies and other courses. I surfed UIA website and I feel jealous to UIA students as they learn sirah, arabic language, hadis although they are not studying Islamic studies.it is a good way to educate Muslim Malay to be a better Muslim. that's all for now. any other thought?

some people are very good at english, either speaking or writing.. how do they do that? first they learn from very young age...although parent is the key factor, but self-motivated also is important. where most children of wealthy + prof people have good exposure of english, for those from kampung shouldn't feel bad.read more english books and newspapers. start with nstp or the star. forget about utusan and berita....try to read english section in harakah... then read english short stories. don't feel ashame if you started to read Enid Blyton at the age of 20. and dont forget harry potter...after you finish Enid blyton than you can move on with other complicated, bombastic-word writer such as Stephen kings,Judith Mc, keep in mind. speaking and writing go along...write and speak..keep every journal is a good idea....now we have blogger....(go to www.blogger.com) you can keep you daily journal online.. try to speak with friends or even youself..... good luck.. - [ Posting ini telah di edit oleh: alhaq pada 2003-07-23 21:40 ]

are u ashamed of Allah ? Allah is great During the next 60 seconds, stop whatever you are doing, and take this opportunity. (Literally it is only 1 minute) All you have to do is the following: You simply say "A prayer" for the person that sent you this message. Next, you send this message to everyone you know. In a while, more people will have prayed for you and you would have obtained a lot of people praying for others. Next, stop and think and appreciate Allah's power in your life, for doing what you know is pleasing to him. If you are not ashamed to do this, follow the instructions. Allah said, "If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you." If you are not ashamed, send this message...only if you believe. "Yes, I love Allah. Allah is my fountain of Life and My Savior. Allah keeps me going day and night. Without Allah, I am no one. But with Allah, I can do everything. Allah is my strength." This is a simple test. If you love Allah and you are not ashamed of all the great things that he has done for you, send this to everyone you know,and the person that sent it to you. May Allah help you to succeed...Ameen -----------------

Assalamualaikum. Enjoy this joke... A long queue of women was waiting patiently outside a shop. A man approached and immediately pushed to the front of the queue. Angry shouts sent him retreating to the back. He tried again but once more the women's anger forced him to retreat. On his third attempt the women jostled and pushed him back again. Finally giving up, he straightened his tie, smoothed his ruffled hair and with dignity said, "Very well, ladies, if that's what you want, I won't open the shop.

Assalamualaikum. All in a Day's Work... A school inspector was observing an English lesson at the school where I work. She was particularly interested in one girl's exercise book, where she'd read a poem of such "quality and emotion" that she felt she must share it with the class. It read: "Yesterday, Yesterday, Yesterday. Happiness, Happiness, Happiness. Today, Today, Today. Grief, Grief, Grief. Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow. Death, Death, Death." When the inspector had finished, the student who had written the words raised her hand and said, "Please, Miss, they're my spellings." p/s: do you think i need to give the bm equivalent of difficult words to make it easier for reading?

Assalamualaikum Poetry: Limerick A limerick is a short form of poetry known for its humour. There was a large lady from Perth Who wanted to travel the earth But her wish was in vain For the door of the plane Was not wide enough for her girth. (girth - the size of something or someone large when they are measured around their middle) Note that the first, second and fifth lines each have eight syllables, and rhyme with each other, while the middle lines have only six syllables and a separate rhyme. Now you can try to write your own limerick! Have fun!

Assalamualaikum wb... Hpw are you guys lately? hope that all of you are in ALLAH's blessing. i have something to share with.... a joke eventualy..hope you guys enjoyed it ok..... (make sure that you guys r computer litered) Subject: Boyfriend to Husband Dear all, I think some of you have read this before. But it is such a gem that it's worth another read. Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a slow down in the overall performance, particularly in the flower and jewellery applications that had operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0. In addition, Husband 1.0 un-installed many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, but installed undesirable programs such as NFL 5.0, NBA 3.0 and ESPN 2.0. And now Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and House Cleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do? Signed, Desperate ------------ Reply: Dear Desperate: First keep in mind; Boyfriend 5.0 is an entertainment package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system. Try entering the command C:\ I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME and download Tears 6.2 to install Guilt 3.0. If all works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5. But remember, overuse can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1. Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will create SnoringLoudly.wav files. Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-Law 1.0 or reinstall another Boyfriend program. These are not supported applications and will crash Husband 1.0. In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have a limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider additional software to improve memory and performance. I personally recommend Hot Food 3.0 and Lingerie 6.9. Good Luck, Tech Support JUST 4 FUN YA.....NO HEART FEELINGS GUYS..!!!!

assalamualaikum a joke for students! It was 11 o'clock in the morning and my flatmate was in a hurry to leave. "I have a lecture in an hour," she explained. I asked her how this could be when university didn't resume for another month. "I'm meeting my mother for lunch," she replied.

asalamualaikum today's news - not a good way to encourage reading, is it? Saturday September 27, 2003 Association: Newspapers may cost at least 20 sen more KUALA LUKMPUR: The Malaysian Newspaper Publishers Association has warned that cover prices of newspapers may have to be raised by at least 20 sen per copy with the Government’s decision to impose an anti-dumping duty on imported newsprint. Expressing disappointment over the decision to impose the duty of between 6% and 43% for five years with effect from Thursday, it said the additional cost incurred by publishers would range from about RM1mil to RM3mil per month. “To further add to this burden, newsprint prices globally have risen by about US$40 (RM152) to US$50 (RM190) per ton since February. This is an increase of about 10%-15% without the anti-dumping duty. “Over and above that price, the publishers have to pay 5% tariff on imports from Asean countries and 10% for imports from non-Asean countries. All these add to the cost of production of newspapers,” it said in a statement yesterday. Describing the imposition of the duty as an irony, the association said while the Government was protecting one newsprint company (Malaysian Newsprint Industries), it was pushing many publishing companies to the edge and into becoming potentially loss-making entities. Citing an example, it said in Sabah and Sarawak the cost of newsprint was already more expensive than in the peninsula due to much higher transport and insurance charges. Imposing additional duties could inevitably force them out of business, it added. “With these additional costs, publishers will have no choice but to resort to a possible increase in cover prices of at least 20 sen per copy, which will put the burden on the man-in-the-street. “At the extreme, smaller publishers may have to close down,” the association said. It noted that the increase in global prices of newsprint would be of benefit to MNI. “At an assumption of a US$50 per ton increase and at a full production capacity of about 250,000 tons per year, MNI stands to obtain an added revenue of approximately RM48mil per year without any extra effort on its part. “In trying to protect MNI and the locally-produced product, the local publishers’ interest should also not be overlooked,” it added. The association said in order to establish Malaysia as a regional printing and publishing centre as stated by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad in his Budget 2004 speech, all aspects of the industry should be taken into consideration. from The Star Online

assalamualaikum Monday September 29, 2003 Prophet Muhammad’s story COME December, moviegoers will be able to watch a Middle Eastern production of an animated movie, Muhammad: The Last Prophet, which is in English with Malay and Chinese subtitles or another version which is dubbed in Bahasa Malaysia with Chinese and English subtitles. The epic movie is the first full-length feature of Prophet Muhammad’s life. It is about his life story in spreading Islam in Arabia in the 14th century. Middle Eastern company Badr International Corporation produced the movie while Neguin Company is its official distributor. The production company had sourced the expertise from ex-Walt Disney experts to help with the animation of characters. Flare Studios Sdn Bhd, the production house behind TYCO (Malaysia’s first virtual 3D animated artiste) and Fresh Friends animation series, signed a contract with several local artistes as the voice cast for the Bahasa Malaysia dubbed version of the film. Its project director, Noriah Ismail, explained that the movie gave a fresh approach in providing information about Islamic history, culture and social life of the Arabs before and after the emergence of Islam. “Over 100 people came for auditions and it was difficult picking the right voices for the 54 voice roles,” she said after the signing ceremony involving Flare Studios, Negiun Company and the voice cast. The voice cast includes actors Datuk Mustapha Maarof, Ahmad Tamimi Siregar, Sani Sudin, Bob Mokhtar, Amran Ibrahim and nasyid group Raihan and singer Siti Athirah. She added there is also a local soundtrack produced for the movie. It features the likes of Raihan, Hijaz, Nowseeheart, Saujana, Aliff Ila Ya and Aliff Ba Ta. Warner Music (M) is the official distributor for the 10-track album. The 90-minute animation unfolds with a couple, Malek and Arwa, explaining how Mecca was before Islam came into existence. It explicates the Prophet’s role in spreading the religion and the trouble he faced with the Quraish clan. It also focuses on the Badar and Khandar wars in which the Quraish tribe faced defeat. – By Sheela Chandran from the star online

assalamualaikum. it is a start. i believe everyone of us has basic knowledge of the language(because we have learnt english since year 1 until spm). it is just the question of having the nerve to use it. don't be afraid or embarrass to make mistakes as making mistakes is one of the way of learning a language. so, be daring and just say whatever that you want, no one will laugh at you (especially in a forum like this). go on, give it a try!

Malaylish-to accept or not to accept? this is quite a questio. Here I want to share some thoughts about this issue... People out there are saying that Malaylish is not a good way of communication and should be corrected by teaching malaysians how to communicate in properly. in other sense we forget that in the world today, there is a lot of english 'accent'(loghat)...I chatted with miyuki (she is A petronas scholar studying in NZ)...and the 'english' that she used was neither a perfect 'UK' english nor a proper 'english as define by 'Oxbridge'. I went to London last winter, and not only I had a hard time to understand their english, but went I think about it, they are not using a proper english..... same with us, we speak Malay but most of use cannot write in a right way. Singlish (singapore english) is yet a well known 'new accent of english'. how they can develop their courage to speak and use english although they have 3 main races with their own 'bahasa'? here, I want to propose that using 'Malaylish' or 'singlish' shouldn't be a question anymore. keep on encouraging our students to speak english. providing more classes and adding more hours in English language should be implemented now. but don;t forget to cut other subjects's hours or cut the number of mandatory subjects in high school. learning english shouldn't be a problem of 'Jati Diri' . Countries such as "Canada' is one of 'bilingual country. most of their people can speak french and english..... I also want to propose to ukhwah.com to start using english in this forum. maybe a quarter of forums should be conducted in english...esp in 'forum mahasiswa'.. ok...till then...... (mmm still checking if there's a grammar mistakes up there)

Malaylish (Manglish)-to accept or not to accept? This is quite a big issue to discuss. There are pros and cons of promoting the use of Manglish. While we cannot deny that Manglish is widely spoken and used nowadays there are other issues that we have to look at before we can take a stand in promoting and accepting the use of Manglish. Firstly, Manglish as I've posted earlier, "Manglish Chong : You still painting your house or what? Ali : Still. Kitchen must paint different different colour. Ramu : Why so many? Ali : One colour only no shock what. English Chong : Are you still painting your house? Ali : Yes, I'm painting my kitchen in different colours. Ramu : Why? Ali : One colour alone is boring." is not grammatically correct. Eventhough there is a tendency now not to over emphasize on grammar but it is important as it will make a different on the meaning of the sentence. e.g. I am boring (saya seorang yg membosankan). I am bored(saya bosan). This is the common mistake made by Malaysians because of the misunderstanding of the grammar rules. Secondly, there is the issue of what should be taught in the classroom - should teachers teach British English as what we are doing at the moment or Manglish. Given the fact that there is no set rules and vocabulary of Manglish then there is a big problem if we are going to promote it. For example, when do we use the suffix 'la' in a sentence - 'can la', 'cannot la' and etc. Language is ever changing and for a 'language' like Manglish that changes through usage then it is difficult to accept it as language that can be promoted or taught. Thirdly, Manglish is only good in Malaysia because only us Malaysians who understand it. It is a bit useless then if we accept Manglish but cannot be used if we travel abroad. The policy of using British English in our education is to ensure that our students will have the ability to communicate in English no matter where they go to further their education. Eventhough, the British themselves do not use the Received Pronounciation(RP or the Queen's English as we know it) as they will be their own accents or dialects - Cockney Accent for London, Scouse dialect for Liverpool, nevertheless they will be able to understand you if you use Standard English(RP). Imagine if Manglish is used instead, then we can see a scene where two people who talk in English(their own local version) but could not not undertsand each other. So learning and using the RP will be a huge advantage! Fouthly, there is a wide difference between spoken language and written language. While it may seemed acceptable to use Manglish in casual conversation however, in written language, such use of language is out of place and may give the impression that the writer is not proficient in English. Surely this is not a good impression if you are applying for a job or writing something which is important - apart from a letter to your friends. While we are encouraging the use of English in communication, promotion should be given to the use of Standard English. However we should not discourage anybody from using any forms of English (Manglish, Singlish, American English, Australian English etc). should praise them for their efforts and bravery of using a foreign language. At the same time, we should make the efforts to improve our English so that we will be able to communicate effectively. Those are my views, any other views?

(sorry is suppose to be Manglish) 1. we should our children the proper English. and any 'la' shouldn't be in the paper 2 encouraging students to speak english. 3. the most important thing is that we provide MORE ENGLISH TEACHERS!..adding more hours won;t be a reality if we have a shortage of english teachers. government keep on saying how important 'english is' but how we can learn english if there's not enough teachers? in the rural area, they have to share 1 teacher for 40 students? what the heck!..MRSM and SBP get a better solution. 15 people share 1 teacher. this is totally a double standard, but as the bright always get the best, we shouldn't argue about this matter. I also don't think that in IPTA we have enough english lecturer. here in the US, since the U realize that international students need more atttention in their english, they provide 1 teacher for about 15 students or less. in order to PRODUCE more english teachers! english teacher should earn more money than any other teachers!......or ....if any other teachers, let say a math teacher want to make more money, let him teaches one english class . usually overseas grad teachers shouldn;t have a problem in their english....as long as they can speak, can write, can mark simple essay, know about grammar.they are totally READY to be part time-english teachers... or else, any other solution. ministry should hire part timers teachers/ tutors to teach at secondary school. there's a lot of spm leavers out there that can be tutors after spm ends. let say on Jan/Feb....each school gets one tutor...it's totally help!...or let the college students be tutors ...this would 'mengurangkan beban cikgu2 english' any other thought? owh come-on.....I want to hear what other IPTA/S students say....since I never know what kind of your english environment is. so I don;t want to be 'negative' or 'provide' false info.. let share how u learn english at your U...and what do u think how to improve english... ( I read a book about a view by malaysian Doctor who currently practicing in California, how to improve our education system, it;s a good book and he has all the points)

The decline in the standard of English among Malaysian students are contributed by several factors. Firstly, as saudara alhaq had mentioned is the problem of not having enough English teachers. This problem have been plaguing our education ministry for years and still they have not come out with any plan to solve it. Don't know what the big shots at the ministry are doing but when something as obvious and as important as this, is not being addressed then we know there is something wrong there. Secondly, our own education system is very exam orientated. Therefore, teachers are pressured to make sure that students score in their exam rather than teaching the language for communication. Teachers find it hard to incalcute communicative language skills such as speaking skills which are not tested in pmr or spm. As a result, fun and exciting language activities are hard to incorporate in classroom language learning as the emphasis in pmr or spm will be the writing skills. Thirdly, our students lack exposure to the language. Materials for language input which is important in learning the language such as reading and listening are not readily available in Malaysia. True, our students listen to English songs or watch English films but do they really understand what they listen to when they just memorize what they hear or read malay subtitles when they watch English films. English books or magazines are quite expensive here, try buying the harry potter novels, you'll be quite shocked to see the bill. If we look at students from rural areas then these problems are more serious. Exposure to the language is one of the important factor in acquiring any language. Fourthly, our students lack motivition. This is a difficult problem as it is related to the above mentioned factors. With motivation, i'm sure we can achieve anything, no matter how hard it is. There are other factors as well, such as parents and peer group influence, facilities, teaching and learning materials, the curriculum and myriad of other problems. It is better though to look at how we can do our best to improve the standard of English with what we have at the moment rather than complaining about the problems which are beyond our control. Sorry for the long discussion. It is a good way of understanding the difficulties in language learning and find ways to overcome it. We may be able to find ways to use Ukhwah.Com as a platform to promote English and increase English proficiency among ourselves! Any suggestions?

just want to keep this at the top...huhu... action speaks louder than word (err did i spell it correctly?)....we all know how important is english but yet we feel really uncomfortable to speak up or hear other people converse in english...why? to say that it's our culture is a bias or a stereotype to our 'bangsa' is totally in appropriate...it has been argued by scholars that it is not all about culture, because some Malays are actually very good and support using english as their second language. but keep in mind....'those' people are high class people (in this case they are from a wealthy family), live in town area, and educated.... but somehow to say that 'kampung' and less educated parents do not support english as second language of their children is totally not true..why? because the majority of parents want their children to get a good result and excel in their studies...even in english matters! so, the conclusion. it all depend on students! us!youth!, mahasiswa.....to be a better us!..

for quite a long time i haven't see this topic.first and foremost i have to be a bit careful coz i don't want people keep 'missunderstood' the way i write or spell. (no offence eyh??) i'm here to support(absolutely) those sentences up there which state...'it 's all depends on the student' yeah...i guess that's right because there is no reason to blame ur parents if u can't speak very well in english. my mum n dad are also from 'kampung' but they do support their childs to be excellent in english.even my mom tried to learn some words in english.my dad had never went to any english school(in fact he finished his study at the age of 10 due to financial prob) .still,he eagers to learn english.he can speak 'broken english' n i was so suprised when one day,he called my foster parent 's house .nobody was there so he have to leave a message.and so he did!!! so...the conclusion is..keep on the good work guyz...don't try to blame anyone coz u r the one who deserve of wuteva u do..english is FUN!!!..beleive me!!! p/s:sorry if there is any grammartically mistake..i'm rubbish for that..ehehe [ Posting ini telah di edit oleh: miyuki pada 2004-01-28 06:10 ]

it cannot be denied that parental support is important to guide students to learn english. as a matter of fact, you need parental support in almost everything that you want to do, don't you? however, self motivation is by far the most important influence in learning English. motivation can come in the form of reward or punishment. For me, the acquisition of English opens a big door to the wonder of internet and its content. it is as if you are going into library with infinite number of knowledge with just one click of a mouse! imagine that! getting any information that you want, instantly, from anywhere! i think that is such an amazing reward for learning english and it is fun...
