Say No to Smoking!!

1) I believe the habit of smoking come from ourselves. I don't agree if we put other people as the only reason why we smoking. However, I also don't agree that the habit is not related to whom we befriend; meaning to says we are affected by peers too. Both are connected each others. First, why we put blaming on others on what we are doing now, we also should not leave to whom we befriend because friends play very important role to boost ourselves to be good or otherwise.

2) We are exposed by many channels that the habit is not a healthy lifestyle. It is totally out of the way to create awareness about healthy living. Do we know how many chemicals hidden in a stick of cigarette? I believe we acknowledged the fact that over 4,000 chemicals are inside. According to The Cancer Research, United Kingdom, they released the chemicals are including:

= many chemicals known to cause cancer
= hundreds of other poisons
= nicotine, a highly addictive drug, and many addictives designed to make cigarettes taste nicer and keep smokers hooked.

Here are the substances in tobacco as the following:

+ Tar - a mixture of dangerous chemicals
+ Arsenic - used in wood preservatives
+ Benzene - an industrial solvent, refined from crude oil
+ Cadmium - used in batteries
+ Formaldehyde - used in mortuaries and paint manufacturing
+ Polonium -210 - a highly radioactive element
+ Chromium - used in manufacture dye, paints and alloys
+ 1.3 Butadiene - used in rubber manufacturing
+ Polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons- a group of dangerous DNA-damaging chemicals
+ Nitrosamines - a group of carcinogens only found in tobacco
+ Tobacco-specific nitrosamines- a group of carcinogens only found in tobacco
+ Acrolein - used as a chemical weapon in World War 1
+ Acetaldehyde - used in the industrial production of acid.
+ Nicotine - highly addictive
+ Hydrogen cyanide - found as an industrial pesticides
+ Carbon monoxide - found in car exhausts and used in chemicals manufacturing
+ Nitrogen oxides - a major component of smog
+ Ammonia - used to make fertilisers and explosi.
+ alcohol and many more.

All those chemicals are not good for a healthy body. Then, why we still smoke? Don't we afraid to dead? All these questions are not useful until we will have fallen sick one day. Scientifically, the habit is proven unhealthy when we see the chemicals inside. Then, what more we want?

3) What about the religion point of views; how significantly the habit related to it? Islam is the best granted religion to the knowledgeable mankind, the habit to put ourselves into disaster is claimed "haram". Let we check what The National Council of Fatwa ( Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan, Malaysia) said about it. "The 37th of-Muzakarah Jawatankuasa Fatwa Majlis Kebangsaan" for Islamic Religion held on 23rd of March 1995- have discussed about the stand of smoking to Muslims. The result of the conference brought to "haram". This spread into three resons:

I) The smoking habit is harmful to the    human bodies.
ii) The smoking habit will harm (spead diseases) the people around smokers.
iii)  The smoking habit will bring the smokers to the habit of wasting money.

Hence,  We are objected to do that. Is it clear? In part of Islam, we have known. The other religions also put the same judgement to the habit as I mentioned above. They also denied the habit is good.

Exactly! Choice is ours

4) Scientifically and from the religion's views; both have stated that the habit must not be together with the knowledgeable mankind. Unfortunately, we objected the recommendations and keep on smoking with no guilty. Then, what is the best way to overcome the habit? Many asked me what I did after about 10 years I smoking and now I'm successfully free from the habit. My humble answer spead to several reasons. The reasons are as the following points:

5) We have to set ourselves what reason we should quit smoking. Set deep into our hearts so that we clear our goal is at the front. Pointing this question to our minds; are we going to see our children grow healthy and at the same time obey our orders as parents? What answers should come out from your mind? I'm totally confident that we as parents must want to see they obey us and grow healthy. Let we imagine, if we desire to have children as mentioned, did we prepare for that? How about the substances inside a stick of cigarette? How about the liquors meant to Islam? We are taught that alcohol / liquor is "haram" and we will never touch it. Then, now the substance is inside! When we have sex, our sperms contained "haram" substance and the substance transfered to our pre-child in the ovary. What would be for our child if the base or the platform to exist the new generation is from "haram" substances? We know the meaning of "haram" when the substance transfered to our bodies, it would be our "blood and meat". If we bear to see the next generation and the generation is from our flesh and blood who have rude / disrespectful attitude and refuse to obey The Almighty Allah, to The Messager and to us as parents; then proceed. I myself realized that the ambition to have children who respect and obey us as parents must start from ourselves. There's no others who able to do so.

Think first of our heirs before smoking

6) The next is; if we wish to be a good man and Allah wills, to be a pious man. We must know that demons like smokes. We smoking we produced smokes, the smokes are the demons' food. Then, what they supposed to do when they stayed close to us. Moreover, we feed them the smokes, like - we are their guardian. Think about that! If we want our children have good attitudes, we must have it first. We don't day dream to have a brilliant children if we - ourselves never instilled the spirit of reading at home- as clear analogy.

Yes!! Quit smoking: Life is beautiful

7) The other things must be about our heirs. I quitted smoking aftet I realize that I have to do so. This is because I have been granted a daughter. I'm not willing to smoke in front of her, I also not willing to give diseases to her. She is mine who I should take care. If I'm not able to protect herself at this stage, how can I protect her from any other dangers. When I see my daughter's face, I don't have spirit to keep on smoking because her life / future is on my shoulders. How can I take good care of herself if I fall sick with cancer or maybe I die earlier before I see she succeed. I thought I must act now after about 10 years I smoked.

8) In life, we have to choose what ways we supposed to take. The ways we took determine who we are. The choices are in our own hands. Nobody will have access to control ourselves but we have. Think before it's late. Remember, the choice is ours!

Men & Cars

1) As the title written men and cars; can't be separated. It is very seldom when we talk about cars but men dislike to talk more. It must be interesting topic to be storied and debated as well. Our enthusiasm are as high as mountain when we talk to have a car; the car must be in hight specs and sporty and most importantly the car is powerful. Who disagrees of my statement?

2) When we have a car ; any models Proton, Perodua, Honda, Nissan and so on, I believe we couldn't stop our desire to modify our car to be new one. Some may prefer to modify engine to be powerful and many prefer to do adjustment to create new appearance. Meaning to says, the car will look more beautiful, more sporty and look different from the first appearance we bought it. Malaysian is willing to spend money every month of their salary only to modify their car. I think I'm a part of the entity.

3) For me, if the car looks basic as other cars on the road, my adrenaline can't function well. I need to put some adjustments on the exterior and interior so that what mine look different and of course NICE. I have a man who live nearby with my apartment; I noticed that he changed his WAJA sport rims every week. Sometimes the colour of the sport rims become the issue for him. Not only about sport rims, the other things also are sensitive for his car because he only think how to make the car different and look gorgeous. The body kits, the fog lamps, the body stickers and many more are around his mind. Sometimes I see him sit beside his WAJA and staring sharply at his car. It was very unstoppable action. I once used WAJA before I buy ALMERA. Every time I see the person, I remember my old car. The car that has no power, the car that invented with noisy engine, the car that sold with bad handling and the car with inefficient oil consumption and so on. Sorry for the negative comments but I have to say that I regretted after I bought the bad car produced by PROTON. Then, in my mind; how useful if the WAJA car look nice from the exterior but bad in driving. The man I mentioned seems have to invest much money to maintain the exterior looks to be nice and meanwhile to make sure the engine and the way of driving is at the highest condition.

4) The story above is to bring your point of views that how bad and good of a car is not the issue for someone to make-up their car. As the WAJA I mentioned with CPS engine, I believe many have to admit that the car is noisy and bad especially when we shift gears. However, with the spirit of hobby and adrenaline, we don't care about all that, what we know is to beautiful the car.

5) Actually, this is the waste hobby. I admitted! The more I convince myself that the hobby will burn my money, the more adrenaline activated. Eventually, with the cars I saw on the road, I bought 17inc sport rims, I changed exhaust, fog lamps and I installed arms rest. This is the story of mine, what about others who willingly spend their money only for the purpose.

6) Lastly, is it valuable for those who have this such hobby? Surely many answers are depending on their budget. What others? 

Boycott affected them as well; Congrats!

1)  We saw and heard all around the globe that the effort to spark off the spirit to boycott Israeli's products is now at the peak among people. Thank you very much for those who supported the campaign regardless race and religion. We are united to fight inhumanity and brutal actions against Palestinian. We are not willing to bear the war happen in our hometown and we felt the feeling of being attacked violently in Palestine. It is so hurt!! Only peace is welcomed.

2)  Some people say; there are positive and negative effects from boycotting Israeli's products. I tended more to boycott due to what is happening in Palestine. My mind is overwhelmed with the thoughts to Palestinian and it is uncertainty feeling. I'm worried how condition of Malaysia if we are attacked. We are slaughtered unsympathetic. Then, we ask for help from other Islamic Countries to give their favours. We wait patiently but we receive no help unless some promises to channel fund, to channel medical kits and so on. But what we really need at that time is they come and fight together under one Ummah. We run to the jungle and we see from the hill that our villages are burning out, we see our daughters are raped and our elders are shot with no mercy. Then, we pray to Allah to bring down a battalion of Sky Army to destroy the Kuffar Army. Automatically, we pray to Allah all the time and we think no others except a favour from Muslims. Unfortunately, nobody come. What should we do? We only have an option to stay still in the jungle and observe what is happening out there. O Allah, you imagine my brothers and sisters. Please be prepared before everything is to late  to recover.

Some of the products of Israel

3)  I understand if Malaysia send their infantry to Palestine, surely we are condemned by The United States and we may be attacked by allied countries of The US. At the northern of our country, they have Thailand who supported The US policy, at the southern of Malaysia, they have Singapore and at the eastern of Malaysia, they also have allied entity that is Filipino. The US itself has the military base in all those countries I stated. We are at the middle of them and we cannot run unless we fight until the last drop of our blood. Then, we will never send our infantry and to take the risk. Here, we need unity among Muslims around the World and it seems impossible. Why do I say so? Let we see how fragile among Muslim in the Arabic Countries. They are not united, they are selfish and what they think is just profit and the profit cannot be jumped into another's pockets. We see Arab League; what role they played during Israel's attack over Palestine. They played no role!!

4)  From the last month, we are encouraged to boycott all products connected to Israel. Every expenses we made to buy from them, we are supporting Israel to attack Palestine. Let we start boycott now. We may incapable to boycott 100% but we take a start to boycott only 10%. Recently we are reported that Coca-Cola and McDonald's are suffered and bear loss due to boycott. The conglomerates revealed they have loss as reported at the World Market Investment. So, we are succeeded and we should keep on boycotting.

One of the poster written Boycott Israel

5)  Actually, since 2009 some big hypemarkets in Europe have stopped their demand over Israel's products. We read the World History that the Jews never been accepted among Europe, they chased the Jews out of their land. The leader of Germany under Nazy; Adolf Hitler committed genocide to Israeli. That is the prove the Europe hate so much. The Israeli find no land until they reached Palestine. They have been setting up illegal settlers since 1947 M.  Recently in Turkey, they stopped the demand of Coca-Cola to their supermarkets and retailed shops . Same goes to India when they stopped the demand of Coca-Cola to many hotels.

6)  What Turkey, India and some Europe countries did was great to paralyze Israeli's economy. I think this is the best action that should be taken and be followed by Malaysia government. We should not leave 100% to the people while the government, GLC and conglomerates do nothing. I believe that if Giant Hypermarket, Aeon, Mydin and others take serious action to stop demand all the products connected to Israel; I'm totally confident that Israel is not as what we see today with the power of supply; World Economic Holder. Unfortunately, all those entities never react with the current phenomenon while many people do. This is due to the contract made between Mydin and Coca-Cola / Nestle / Kraft and many more. The Mydin will not simply break the contract because they will bear loss. If the Mydin and many other conglomerates willing to ignore profit but care Palestinian suffer, surely what we see and we hear in Gaza will never happen. Come one Malaysia, come one the top leaders of Malaysia, come on conglomerates of Malaysia, come on Government Link Companies of Malaysia; wake up and make a huge march together with citizen, we boycott Israeli's products. Trust that we won't die just because we don't consume their products and services. We have alternative products and services from Malaysia and many from other countries disconnected with Israel.

This barcode was spread out all over the world, I don't sure its validity

7)  Some people say, if we boycott Israeli's products, how about the people who run bisness selling Israel products? My answer will be; that is important when all entities I stated above stop demanding Israeli's products. The petty businessmen, the hawkers and the people at the lowest lever just run business when they have stocks. The stocks are from the big head at the peak; ( Government, Conglomerates, GLC, Big Businesses Owner).  So, when mass at the lowest ground make demonstrations and marching all around the place by holding banners written (" Save Gaza, Stop Attack Gaza, Israel the big terrorist and many more") but the big head nodded their heads as agree but they take no action meanwhile they have authority and power to destroy Israel economy. Why don't they react? All about profit!! I noticed the raise of awareness over Palestine issue has been felt deep into our hearts but it is not happen to our big head. So, there is no point when we say Malaysian will loss their job due to the campaign boycotting Israel's products. Logically, when the head is at the right path, the tail behind will never gone astray.

8)  The time has came, the time to bring up our economy at the highest lever. The time to stop buying Israel's products instead of consume Bumiputra products. If we are talking about the context of Malaysia, the Malay has been left behind in economy. The Malay itself has no enthusiasm to support products made from Bumiputra. Now, we see only one race is at the front with the power of economy. We should not leave this happen with no solution. Think about it before the time to act over.

9)  Think to move out of the comfort zone. Think out of the box. The success is waiting at the front!
