swallow and summer

Ironically I watched the Ucapan Dasar Presiden this morning. A beautiful maiden speech. The title was Menjunjung Tradisi, Menzahir Kebenaran.. itu kot. Watchout for the text in d mainstream newspaper tomorrow.

Before that, there was a talk show hosted by.. well x kenal.. and the guests were two academicians.

One of the guests said, lebih kurang la kan… eventhough UMNO never boasted that they r an Islamic party, but it was the government who initiated Islamic Education as a compulsory subject for all muslim students in 1965. Orang tu la cakap.. panjang lagi la ayat dia..

The panels unanimously agreed that all UMNO leaders must be seen as Islamic. As the host cheekily comment, “masa maghrib mestilah terus ke masjid, jangan duduk kat kedai kopi pula”.

Honestly I never bump into any UMNO leaders in coffee house during maghrib coz I’ve never been to any coffee house during maghrib.

And then the discussions became more interesting. One of the guests (told u I don remember name) mentioned about a study made by a man name Kerslar in Kelantan (seriously I never read the study, so might be the name have been misspelled too) something about the difference of UMNO and PAS leaders.

The findings are intriguing, considering he spent 6 years in Kelantan to complete his study. Interesting, wish I could have a copy.

Again, the panel cakap tu salah individu, bukan parti. Funny!

On something unrelated, I learned something new in the president’s speech this morning. A swallow doesn’t make a summer equals to mendengar guruh di langit, air tempayan dicurah jangan.

Anyway i love the way the president ended his speech. Very honest and humble.
