Ustaz Abu Bakar Chik (ABC): 1950-2014
The sudden death of friend, brother, comrade in struggle, Ustaz Abu Bakar Chik whom we in his circle used to fondly call Ustaz ABC took all of us by surprise.
As is his character he was returning after yet another one of his programs in Selangor when his vehicle was involved in an accident on the East Coast highway near Bukit Besi, Terengganu and he died soon after. This was the man, never one to sit and take it easy and push the younger ones to do the work in PAS. In fact if the youth in PAS today were to study his over four decades of struggle for Islam, they would only be able to come up with one conclusion – that they could not meet his energy and commitment for the cause.
And why is that so? I remember as a member of his inner circle in the 1980s and early 1990s we would be up and moving practically every hour of the day. Those were days when we would barely get three hours of sleep due to the hectic pace that Ustaz ABC would have set for us. We used to criss-cross the nation skipping from one corner of the Peninsula to another in the space of hours because “we had work to do”.
Mohamad Sabu, Mustapha Kamal, Ustaz Wan Ismail Wan Jusoh, Cikgu Hussin, Mahfuz Omar, Raja Ismail Raja Shahdan, Cikgu Noh, Zul Mamat, Aris Awang and later Salehuddin Ayub, Ustaz Idris Ahmad and a few other notable Youth leaders would always be on the move to push the Youth agenda then which was centred around the theme, Kepimpinan Ulama (Leadership of the Ulema).
He was in 1984, detained under the notorious ISA (Internal Security Act) along with Mohamad Sabu and Bunyamin Yaacob. He was accused of raising the issue of the “oppressive” nature of Bank Islam’s operations then which was introduced in 1983. But he was never a man who could be cowed to “toe” their line and he served the full 2 year detention term and even after his release would be vocal against the Umno-led regime then under an autocrat who would not hesitate to act against political opponents by unleashing the dreaded ISA. He missed the 1987 Operation Lalang dragnet because he was on the move and is understood to have successfully evaded detection. At every demonstration against the Western powers particularly the US, he would be there and although he would be overshadowed by his deputy Mat Sabu during the speech-making sessions, he nevertheless would ensure his attendance.
He was a man whose first love would probably have been education. Hence his initiative with some other brothers to set up institution after institution dedicated to this cause. He believed in education for the masses, and thus was instrumental in the setting up of Institut Berakan way back in the 1970s which besides being a centre for pre-university education also trained the students to participate in activities affecting the community. He would then oversee several educational institutions blooming within PAS, chief amongst which was the PASTI and he initiated SRIP (Sekolah Rendah Islam Pintar) modelled as a smart school for children. At the time of his passing he was already mudir (head) of the Maahad Tahfiz wa Tarbiyyah next to his home in Tok Jiring, Kuala Terengganu. He went on to set up NGOs which would dedicate their activities to the field of education, like Yayasan Kebajikan dan Pembangunan Pendidikan (YAKEP) and the Majlis Kebajikan dan Pembangunan Pendidikan Malaysia (MAKPEN), the latter an advocacy organisation which would promote mother-tongue education.
Ustaz ABC was also absolutely keen in organised work and even asked me to head what was then known as the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) under PAS Youth. While not much was achieved except for introducing for the first time strategic management within the Youth and which saw PAS Youth spearhead strategy in its activities, nevertheless his concern for an improvised PAS Youth which would henceforth base its activities on long and short-term strategized planning is commendable.
He had the knack for calling for impromptu short meetings every time he found himself in the company of some brothers. And he was also appreciative of views and ideas given by others to the point that each time he would be in Kuala Lumpur and wanted my ideas he would call me up. The last time this happened was just prior to last year’s PAS Muktamar.
Now he is gone and all of us terribly miss him, for here was a man who had dedicated his whole life to the Islamic cause. In fact it was upon returning from one such PAS activity that Allah took him back. I would definitely miss his calls and the discussions.
May Allah (swt) Bless his soul and place him among the pious, the martyrs and those who were on the True Path. May Allah (swt) give him Paradise and raise him among the Righteous on the Day of Judgment.
Ameen.

Kenyataan Kassim kufur dan murtad - JK Fatwa T’ganu
KUALA TERENGGANU: Jawatankuasa Fatwa Negeri Terengganu sebulat suara memutuskan bahawa kenyataan bekas aktivis politik dan sosial Kassim Ahmad pada satu seminar Februari lalu sebagai pemikiran yang kufur dan murtad. Pesuruhjaya Hal Ehwal Agama Islam Terengganu, Datuk Mohd Rozali Salleh berkata keputusan itu dicapai dalam satu mesyuarat khas kali pertama jawatankuasa itu yang bersidang pada 9 Mac lalu.
'Seminar Pemikiran Kassim Ahmad: Suatu Penilaian' itu berlangsung di Putrajaya.
Mohd Rozali berkata, "Fahaman atau golongan tersebut adalah sesat, menyeleweng dan menjadi ancaman kepada ketenteraman awam serta merosakkan akidah mereka.
"Berdasarkan kepada ucapan yang telah disampaikan oleh Kassim Ahmad, terdapat unsur penyelewengan antaranya mempertikaikan syahadah yang kedua, mengingkari dan mempertikaikan hadis sebagai sumber hukum, mempertikaikan hukum rambut perempuan sebagai aurat, hukum selawat dan membenarkan jenayah murtad berlaku dalam masyarakat," katanya dalam sidang media hari ini.
Sehubungan itu, jawatankuasa fatwa turut memutuskan apa jua fahaman yang berunsurkan penolakan hadis ini perlu disekat dari berkembang.
Mohd Rozali berkata sebarang penerbitan, penyiaran dan penyebaran apa-apa buku, risalah, filem, video dan apa sahaja berhubung fahaman ini adalah diharamkan dan orang Islam dilarang memiliki, menyimpan mencetak, menjual atau mengedarkan semua bahan terbabit.
"Mana-mana orang Islam sama ada secara individu atau berkumpulan yang mengikuti fahaman anti hadis ini dengan berselindung di sebalik aktiviti ekonomi, perniagaan, pendidikan, kesenian dan sebagainya yang mempunyai unsur persefahaman anti hadis ini adalah dianggap mengamalkan fahaman yang bercanggah dengan syariat.
"Oleh yang demikian, orang ramai di negeri ini hendaklah menghindarkan diri daripada terlibat dengan fahaman golongan tersebut," katanya.
Mesyuarat jawatankuasa itu juga bersetuju supaya keputusan berhubung fahaman anti hadis ini diwartakan untuk dijadikan fatwa yang mengikat bagi membolehkan tindakan diambil terhadap kesalahan yang terbabit, katanya. - Bernama

Ramadhan bulan jihad, merakyatkan perjuangan
BADAN Perhubungan PAS Negeri Terengganu (BPPNT) mendoakan agar seluruh umat Islam dipanjangkan usia dan sempat dengan kedatangan Ramadhan pada setiap tahun untuk mengecapi ‘barakah’ serta nikmat kurniaan Tuhan yang melimpah-ruah yang diberikan oleh Allah kepada umat Nabi Muhammad SAW.Sesungguhnya Ramadhan yang datang menjadi tetamu yang membawa rahmat dan keampunan dan kami mengucapkan setinggi-tinggi kesyukuran kerana pada tahun ini, sekali lagi Allah memilih kita untuk mengecapinya.
Semoga rahmat melingkari kehidupan kita di dunia serta melimpahi kita hingga ke akhirat. Segala noda dan dosa kita diampuni dan dibersihkan, umpama kain yang putih atau umpama bayi yang baru dilahirkan.
Ramadhan juga adalah bulan taubat dan bulan bagi meninggalkan segala maksiat. Kami menyeru kepada semua, ambillah kesempatan untuk meninggalkan segala amalan buruk dari sekecil-kecil dosa sehingga yang besarnya.
Tinggalkanlah segala 'makar' seperti mencuri, berzina, minum arak, khianat, rasuah, salah guna kuasa mahu pun syirik kepada Yang Maha Kuasa.
Ramadhan juga merupakan bulan ibadat, maka rebutlah setiap detik dan saat, dengan gandaan pahala yang melimpah. Carilah malam yang lebih baik dari seribu bulan iaitu 'Lailatulqadr' yang pastinya ada keredhaan Allah padanya menanti.
Dekatilah Tuhanmu di dalam bulan yang mulia ini seolah-olah inilah kesempatan terakhir bagi kita. Jadikanlah malamnya umpama pendita, manfaatkan siangnya sebagai tentera berkuda.
Ramadhan yang akan datang kepada kita ini juga adalah bulan al-Quran. Dekatilah diri kita dengan wahyu Allah. Fahamilah dan marilah kita sama-sama menghayati, satu-satunya mukjizat yang masih bersama dengan kita. Bukan sekadar diperlagu dan dipertandingkan tetapi berusaha untuk menegakkan dan mendaulatkannya serta dilaksanakan akan segala syariatnya.
Ramadhan al-karim jua adalah bulan Jihad. Jika Rasulullah SAW berjihad di dalam medan Badar pada bulan Ramadhan, menggali parit dalam perang Khandak membentengi Madinah, dan membuka Kota Mekah. Dan kalau para sahabat menunggu Ramadhan untuk membuka Parsi dan Rom, Salahuddin al-Ayyubi membuka Palestin dan Al-Fateh membuka Constantinople, maka rebutlah peluang Ramadhan untuk berdakwah, menyampaikan mesej Islam, menyatukan lapisan masyarakat dengan kebajikan jamaah, merakyatkan perjuangan, menyantuni para musafir dan perantau untuk didekati dengan jihad kita semua.
Serlahkan wajah Islamiyyah sebenar secara aman dan damai. Tingkatkan 'amal jamaie' dan sebarkan cahaya Islam ke seluruh pelosok dunia. Panjatkan doa buat para mujahid dan kepada sesiapa sahaja yang memperjuangkan agamanya sebagai jihad fi sabilillah.
Allah juga menjanjikan, Ramadhan adalah bulan pembebasan daripada azab Allah. Dunia ini yang terlalu singkat masanya dengan 'halwa' serta fitnahnya bersemarak di setiap penjuru.
Semoga kita tidak terjebak segala tipu daya hawa nafsu dan tidak terhalang akan dengan segala mehnahnya. Beruntunglah apabila berlalu sudah Ramadhan nanti, setiap insan dibebaskan daripada azab. Celakalah apabila berlalunya Ramadhan, kita terbelenggu dan tidak terlepas daripada api neraka.
Semoga Allah SWT mempermudahkan buat kita dan semua terpelihara oleh-Nya. Amin...

Of the huge but almost empty Masjids in Terengganu...
New masjids to be built in Terengganu need not be huge but must be equipped with air-conditioning for the comfort of congregators, said the new Menteri Besar of Terengganu, Dato' Ahmad Razif Abdul Rahman.
Well, at last after years and years criticizing the Umno led state government of Terengganu for building huge and costly masjids even in rural areas, it takes a new menteri besar to rectify and correct the situation.
During the tenure of previous Umno menteris besar up to the era of Dato' Seri Ahmad Said, new huge and sparkling masjids were built in Terengganu like there was no tomorrow. A new masjid in a small Malay village could easily cost between RM3 to RM5 million.
Ahmad Razif said such a transformation needed to be made in the building of masjids in the state as experience showed that those built in the past were huge and not economical since during compulsory prayers only one or two front rows of the masjids would be filled with congregators.
Building smaller masjids would be economical including easier in its management but the menteri besar was of the opinion that during celebrations such as to perform Aidilfitri and Aidiladha prayers, areas around the masjids could be converted into prayer compounds where tents or canopies could be erected.
After staying for three days in the 'turtle state' while holidaying with my family recently, I totally agree with Ahmad Razif's 'transformational ideas' about the building of new masjids in the state. I spent some time at a relative’s house in a ‘kampung’, north of Kuala Terengganu; to be exact in Setiu, giving me ample time to have a look at some of the masjids and the movement of congregators there.
The house I stayed in was near a masjid, so for ‘solat fardu’ (compulsory prayers), I tried my best to perform it in the masjid. To my surprise at every occasion, only a handful of old men were at the huge sparkling new masjid. Even the first row was not filled during prayers except when groups of outsiders in buses and cars made a stop at the masjid.
Then during journeys in the state, I found out that the other masjids too attracted very few congregators during mass prayers for compulsory 'solat' such as 'zuhur' (afternoon) and 'isyak' (late evening) prayers. Even when performing 'solat Jumaat' (Friday prayers) in Masjid Al-Muktafi Billah Shah, I realized the masjid was not even half full when the 'azan' (call for prayers) was on air. Only after the arrival of several UiTM buses carrying hundreds of students was the situation 'saved'.
Many masjids in Terengganu are huge and new even though they are located in rural areas. So I wasn't shocked when newspapers not long ago carried stories from the State Assembly sittings that masjids in Terengganu failed to attract Muslims especially the youth other than the weekly Friday prayers.
It was reported that the attendance at masjids especially in rural areas was very poor even though the state government had built more than 100 masjids with several hundred millions of ringgit in allocations.
The state government was reported to have realized the situation and had taken various steps to rectify it such as introducing Qur'an learning sessions in masjids and setting up tuition classes there.
The Terengganu government too had built a crystal masjid and 21 replica masjids costing millions of ringgit on an island (Pulau Wan Man) called ‘Taman Tamadun Islam (TTI)’ (Islamic Civilization Edutainment Park) at the estuary of the Terengganu River to project itself as being concerned about ‘religious’ matters. One can witness the glittering masjids when driving along the Sultan Mahmud Bridge in Kuala Terengganu.
In my opinion the Terengganu government should ‘muhasabah’ (re-evaluate) itself as to why the people shy away from masjids. It is a pity and strange sight indeed when only a handful of veteran citizens come to pray in the many big and beautiful masjids in the state. Only a handful of old timers are seen at masjids, so where have the youth of Terengganu gone to?
Talking about Ahmad Razif's 'transformation program' to build smaller masjids in Terengganu in the future, do please allow me to present 'my two sen worth’ idea based on what I had witnessed during my visits to several masjids in India, Pakistan, Iran and the former Soviet Republics in Central Asia (such as Uzbekistan and Krgyszstan).
Some of the masjids in this part of the world have small structures in front but they have a very large courtyard behind the main building usually used as the main prayer hall. If the main building could house say 1,000 worshipers; perhaps its courtyard could take some 10,000 people.
Large courtyards were synonymous with masjids here. Large number of attendees could fill in the masjids especially during Friday prayers or during celebrations such as Aidilfitri and Aidiladha.
In India, one of the biggest and most magnificent masjids there, the Jama Masjid which was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in 1650 in Delhi, has a very large courtyard paved with red stone. In the centre of the courtyard is a large marble tank in which the devout wash (take ablution) before attending prayers.
Thousands and thousands of worshipers can pray in the courtyard; thus masjids would not have problems in accommodating a large number of congregators during special occasions.
Perhaps we could duplicate their ways when building our masjid. Why not build our masjid with a small building in front and have a large courtyard behind it.
By doing this, it would be more economical and easier to manage our masjid. We could even have it fully air-conditioned; footing its electricity bill should not be a problem compared to having a huge masjid which is almost empty at all times except perhaps during Fridays, Aidilfitri and Aidiladha prayers.
Some might argue that our climate which is wet for almost part of the year would be an hindrance in having large courtyards for congregators during special occasions, but as suggested by Ahmad Razif we could have tents and canopies ready at hand to face such circumstances.- ES

Selamat datang TPM ke Kuala Besut, mana janjimu
KENAPA Kuala Besut menjadi lokasi pilihan Timbalan Perdana Menteri (TPM), Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin untuk dikunjungi dalam kesibukan jadual yang disusun sepanjang lawatan seharinya ke Terengganu?Mungkinkah nak tengok sejauh mana kehebatan pembangunan yang telah berlaku hasil dari segala projek yang telah diluluskannya semasa kempen PRK Dun Kuala Besut yang berlangsung pada bulan Ramadhan tahun lepas.
Macam mana Tan Sri? Hebat kan pembangunan Kuala Besut!
Gerbang Perlancongan Antarabangsa, Masjid Terapung Pulau Perhentian, Rumah Pangsa Tok Saboh, Sekolah Alor Peroi dan Empangan Kampung Nangka dan lain-lain lagi. Peruntukan yang diluluskan menjangkau lebih RM300 juta.
Kita masih ingat, bagaimana sepanjang kempen PRK Kuala Besut, setiap isu rakyat yang dibangkitkan PAS disambut segera oleh TPM dengan kelulusan projek bernilai jutaan ringgit.
Apabila kita timbulkan isu kerosakkan Empangan Kampung Nangka sehingga menyebabkan ribuan ekar tanah sawah padi terbiar, TPM lantas menyahutnya dengan kelulusan peruntukan lebih RM50 juta untuk pembinaan empangan baru. Sampai sekarang bayang empangan pun belum ada dan tanah sawah masih kering kontang.
Bila ditimbulkan isu penempatan generasi muda di Kuala Besut, TPM lantas mengisytiharkan pembinaan Rumah Pangsa Tok Saboh. Rumah pun masih nehi, pangsa pun entah ke mana. Pangsa durian adalah di Pasar Pagi Jumaat Kuala Besut!
Masalah muara Sungai Besut yang cetek dan mendatangkan masalah kepada pendaratan bot-bot nelayan antara isu yang hangat sepanjang kempen.
Penyelesaiannya, dilancarkan Kuala Besut sebagai Gerbang Perlancongan antarabangsa bernilai ratusan juta. Tetapi yang didirikan hanyalah pintu gerbang yang tertulis, TERIMA KASIH BN, IMPIAN MENJADI REALITI.
Apa yang menjadi impian dan apa yang menjadi realiti. Saya pun confius!
Kalau Tan Sri datang ke Kuala Besut hanya sekadar nak minum pagi dengan rakyat maka bertuahnya rakyat Kuala Besut dapat rasa minum pagi bersama Tan Sri TPM.
Kalau kerana nak lancar Pasar Nelayan Kuala Besut dan Program Jom Bertani tu biasa je. Idris Jusoh pun boleh lancar. Tak perlu sampai TPM nak mari. Yang dapat minum pagi dengan Tan Sri mesti ada yang senyum sampai ke telinga. Tangan yang bersalaman dengan TPM tentu tak dibasuh sehingga hari ini.
Bos Tan Sri di Sri Perdana Putrajaya pastinya menunggu untuk mendapatkan laporan selaras dengan KPI yang telah digariskan. Rakyat didahulukan pencapaian diutamakan!
Harap Tan Sri balik dan bagilah laporan yang betul kepada bos. Lepas tu bolehlah anda berdua gelak-gelak.
Mungkin bos Tan Sri boleh kata kepada Tan Sri...

Muflis: Raja Baharin timbang saman penyebar fitnah
KUALA LUMPUR: Ahli Parlimen Kuala Terenggau Datuk Raja Kamarul Baharin Shah Raja Ahmad sedang menimbang untuk mengambil tindakan undang-undang terhadap penyebar fitnah yang mendakwa beliau diisytiharkan muflis oleh sebuah mahkamah di Terengganu.
Jelasnya, peguamnya juga telah membuat semakan di Pejabat Pendaftar Mahkamah dan mendapati tidak ada sebarang keputusan atau kes mahkamah yang dibicarakan membabitkan beliau.
"Saya mana ada hutang besar, yang ada cuma hutang kereta. Jadi bagaimana saya boleh diisytiharkan muflis.
"Kalau betul tuduhan yang dibuat sila nyatakan kes apa, bank mana serta berapa jumlah pinjaman saya. Saya tidak terima apa-apa surat saman dari peguam, jadi macam mana nak isytihar muflis," jelasnya pada sidang media di parlimen pagi ini.
Beliau yang yakin, PAS Pusat telah membuat siasatan teliti mengenai kedudukan beliau dari sudut kewangan dan perundangan terutama sebagai individu yang bebas dari muflis sebelum diangkat sebagai calon pada Pilihan Raya Umum lalu.
"Saya tidak tahu apa motif utama penyebaran fitnah ini.
"Cuma saya boleh buat sedikit kesimpulan mungkin ada pihak yang tidak berpuas hati tindakan saya dalam ketengahkan isu cukai pintu di Kuala Terengganu sebelum ini, mereka ingin menjatuhkan saya dengan penyebaran fitnah sedemikian," katanya lagi.
Sejak penyebaran fitnah itu semalam, beliau banyak menerima panggilan telefon dan pesanan ringkas tentang dari pelbagai pihak termasuk pengundi di Kuala Terengganu bagi mengetahui berita tersebut.
"Hari ini saya akan balik untuk bertemu pengundi bagi menjelaskan perkara sebenar, saya hanya wakil rakyat biasa dan tidak ada apa-apa jawatan besar dalam parti.
"Penyebaran fitnah ini tidak pernah mengugat perjuangan saya untuk membela rakyat, kalau nak jatuhkan saya lakukan secara demokrasi bukannya melalui fitnah" katanya. -HARAKAHDAILY 11/6/2014

Pecah 'tabung samah' untuk pengundi luar
Hampir selesai pusing ke cawangan-cawangan PAS Dun Jabi bagi perasmian mesyuarat agung tahunan.
Antara yang saya catatkan, rata-rata cawangan menjadikan program ‘tabung samah’ sebagai sumber wang masuk PAS Cawangan masing-masing.
Maksud ‘tabung samah’ ini ialah, cawangan menyediakan buluh sebagai tabung atau celeng yang diagihkan kepada ahli-ahli di peringkat cawangan dan disimpan di rumah mereka. Setiap hari mereka perlu masukkan paling kurang samah atau 50 sen ke dalam tabung ini untuk Islam.
Setiap 2 atau 3 bulan sekali, tabung ini akan dikumpulkan dan satu majlis rasmi pecah tabung dibuat secara beramai-ramai. Alhamdulillah, walaupun sekadar samah sehari, tapi bila pakat ramai-ramai, hasilnya agak lumayan. Boleh dapat sekitar 2k sekali pecah tabung.
Saya masih ingat, sekitar tahun 2012, ketika majlis pecah tabung PAS Cawangan Kerandang. Arwah Pok Ngoh Pa, ketua cawangan PAS yang paling lama berkhidmat dalam Dun Jabi masih ada. Lebih 30 tahun dia jadi ketua cawangan. Bila dipecahkan buluh tabung, bukan hanya duit syiling yang keluar, turut keluar sama adalah habuk batang buluh.
Arwah Pok Ngoh Pa bersihkan satu persatu duit syiling dari kotoran habuk lalu disusun rapi. Saya yang tengok mengalir air mata. Begitu sekali orang tua seperti beliau sayangkan perjuangan ini walaupun dengan hanya mengumpulkan duit syiling.
Duit yang dikumpulkan ini antara kegunaan utamanya ialah untuk membiayai pengundi luar yang balik mengundi nanti.
Saudara-saudara kita yang kerja di kota-kota besar bila balik mengundi mereka perlukan duit minyak. Walaupun mengundi hanya 4 atau 5 tahun sekali.
Kita yang perlukan undi dari saudara-saudara kita, kena raikan semua. Kita pula tak ada duit yang diisi dalam beg James Bond macam Umno.
Tak apalah. Orang-orang kampung yang menorah getah kumpulkan sedikit demi sedikit asalkan nanti saudara-saudara kita yang nak balik mengundi tak terasa terbeban.
4 atau 5 tahun sekali baliklah saudara-saudara kita untuk mengundi. Sebahagian besarnya berkereta.
Antara yang paling sibuk tak cukup tangan ketika itu ialah ketua unit pengundi luar. Berduyun-duyun orang datang mintak pitih minyak. Orang Umno yang ambik kesempatan pun ada.
Ada juga yang tak puas hati dengan jumlah yang diberi, akhirnya bermasam muka. Kita sabar saja. Nak buat macam mana, tersangat ramai lagi yang tak merasakan mengundi itu tanggungjawab mereka kepada Islam.
Lantas mereka perlu melakukan sedikit pengorbanan. Bukannya setiap hari pun. Mereka masih merasakan mengundi ini adalah kerja calon pilihan raya, mereka yang balik mesti dibayar paling kurang dapat duit minyak.
Kalaulah mereka tahu itu adalah duit hasil penat lelah orang-orang tua di kampung, agak-agak mereka tergamak tak ambik? Berbaloikah mereka nak bermasam muka bila tak puas hati?
Kalau orang kampung boleh kumpul samah sehari untuk persiapan pilihan raya akan datang, tak kan orang bandar tak boleh kumpul 20 sen sehari untuk persiapan 4 tahun akan datang. 20 sen sehari, sebulan dapat RM6, setahun RM72. Dalam masa 4 tahun, dah dapat RM288. Cukup untuk belanja balik mengundi.
Tapi sayangnya... amat sedikit dari kita yang cuba peruntukkan walau sekadar 5 minit sehari untuk fikir tentang tanggungjawab perjuangan Islam. Maafkan saya atas muhasabah ini...
Saya selalu sebut, sepatutnya orang kota balik bawak sedikit rezeki untuk kerja-kerja perjuangan Islam di kampung, bukannya balik nak duit orang kampung! - HARAKAHDAILY 11/6/2014

Raja Baharin nafi diisytihar muflis
KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Raja Kamarul Baharin Shah Raja Ahmad tidak putus-putus menerima panggilan telefon ekoran desas-desas beliau diisytiharkan muflis, lapor portal berita The Malaysian Insider. Justeru, Ahli Parlimen Kuala Terengganu itu menafikan khabar angin yang mengatakan beliau dikenakan tindakan muflis oleh Mahkamah Tinggi Kuala Terengganu.
"Macam mana ia boleh tersebar pun saya tidak tahu. Saya tidak buat apa-apa pinjaman, yang ada hanyalah pinjaman membeli kereta sahaja," kata Raja Baharin kepada The Malaysian Insider.
Beliau berkata, sejak jam 6.00 petang semalam, beliau tidak putus-putus menerima panggilan telefon mengenainya termasuk daripada pimpinan PAS dan juga wartawan.
Menurutnya, seorang wartawan sebuah stesen TV memberitahu beliau, berita itu mereka mula dengar selepas tiga hari Menteri Besar Terengganu Datuk Seri Ahmad Said meletakkan jawatan dan meninggalkan Umno bulan lalu.
"Nampaknya ia semacam usaha untuk mengalihkan pandangan daripada perkara lain sahaja," kata arkitek terkenal yang pertama kali menjadi calon PAS dalam Pilihan raya Umum ke-13 lalu.
Pada PRU13 lalu, beliau menewaskan calon Barisan Nasional (BN), Mohd Zubir Embong dan calon Bebas, Maimum Yusof, 95, dengan majoriti 10,785 undi.

Masjid tak perlu besar, tetapi perlu berhawa dingin – MB T’ganu
HULU TERENGGANU: Masjid baharu yang dibina di Terengganu tidak perlu terlalu besar, tetapi mesti menyediakan sistem pendingin hawa bagi keselesaan jemaah, kata Menteri Besar Datuk Ahmad Razif Abdul Rahman.Menurutnya transformasi perlu dilakukan terhadap pembinaan masjid kerana menerusi pengalaman sebelum ini, masjid yang telah dibina kebanyakannya terlalu besar dan tidak ekonomik memandangkan semasa solat fardu hanya satu atau dua saf sahaja dipenuhi jemaah.
"Bagaimanapun jika hari-hari perayaan yang mempunyai ramai jemaah, masjid itu mestilah boleh dibuka atau diletakkan khemah supaya dapat menampung semua jemaah," katanya kepada pemberita selepas mengadakan solat hajat dan majlis kesyukuran sempena dilantik sebagai menteri besar ke-14 di sini malam tadi.
Mengenai masjid Pekan Ajil yang dikatakan sudah tidak mampu menampung jemaah yang ramai, Ahmad Razif berkata walaupun kecil, tetapi masjid itu sangat sesuai bagi penduduk sekitarnya.
Bagaimanapun beliau bersetuju agar masjid itu diubah suai sedikit supaya dapat menampung lebih ramai jemaah. - Bernama
