Suamiku Yang Ku Sayangi

Suamiku yang ku sayangi, kau harus sedar, diriku bukanlah milikmu sayang. Kita adalah milik Ya Malik dan Ya Kholiq. Oleh itu diriku tidak mampu untuk menghambakan diri kepadamu suamiku, kerana diriku hanyalah hamba kepada Tuhan yang menciptakanku dan Tuhan yang telah memberikan seluruh kasih dan sayangNya kepada diriku selama ini.

Suamiku yang ku sayangi, apa yang diriku lakukan kepadamu hanyalah kerana Dia Ya Rahman dan Ya Rahim dan Ya Wadud. Sesungguhnya suamiku sayang, kasih sayangmu, cintamu selama ini kepada diriku adalah sesungguhnya cinta dari Ya Wadud, kasihsayangmu adalah kasih sayang dari Ya Rahman dan Ya Rahim kepada diriku. Oleh itu diriku harus membalas cinta Allah itu dengan taat dan patuh kepadaNya dengan sepenuh hatiku.

Maafkanku suamiku sayang, diriku tidak mampu mencintaimu dan mengasihimu melebihi Tuhanku kerana Dia menyayangiku setiap masa, ketika diriku muda dan jelita dan ketika diriku tua dan tidak menawan lagi. Dia mencintaiku ketika kau suamiku akan melupaiku satu ketika nanti, ketika kau sudah tidak merasa diriku menawan dan menarik lagi, tetapi Dia Ya Wadud yang Maha Pencinta tetap mencintaiku dari dunia hingga akhirat walau bagaimana keadaanku sekalipun. Namun suamiku, diriku tetap menyayangimu kerana kau telah mengikut petunjukNya bagi mencintaiku dan melindungiku selama ini.

Suamiku sayang, sedarlah bahawa diriku hanya diutuskan oleh Allah kepadamu untuk kau membalas cinta kepadaNya dan Dia Ya Mani’ Yang Maha Mencegah telah menciptaku sebagai isterimu agar dapat membantumu memelihara dirimu daripada dosa dan lalai kepadaNya kerana Dia mahu kau sentiasa taat dan patuh kepadaNya, kerana dengan taat dan patuh kepadaNya sahajalah yang akan menjamin kebahagiaan hakiki di hari kemudian nanti.

Oleh itu suamiku sayang, sesungguhnya kita ini diciptakan oleh Ya Malik dan dipunyai olehNya dan kita akan kembali kepada Ya Mu’id Yang Mengembalikan dan Dia Ya Muhshi Yang Maha Menghitung akan menghitung setiap perbuatan kita didunia ini untuk diberikan balasan di akhirat nanti. Oleh itu suamiku, marilah kita bersama-sama berjalan diatas permaidani makrifatullah dengan bergantung sepenuhnya kepada Dia Ya Rahman dan Ya Rahim yang sentiasa menyayangi dan mengasihi kita.

SUATU WAKTU DAHULU

Suatu waktu dahulu ,
Kami bersama ibu,
Gurau ria bapa
Ceria menyambut kepulangan kanda

Suatu waktu dahulu ,
Bapa teman cerita ,
Bonda riuh bicara ,
Dan kami...tiada duka

Suatu waktu dahulu ,
Kanda bantu kami ,
Mandi air perigi ,
sedia sarapan pagi

Suatu waktu dahulu ,
Bonda termangu di tangga ,
Bapa hanya menyapa ,
Buat apa emakmu.....

Suatu waktu dahulu ,
tiap hujung minggu
apa yang bonda tunggu ,
kepulangan anak-anakmu

Suatu waktu dahulu ,
terngiang di telingaku
' Jangan suruh budak-budak balik lagi '
Kalimah yang berteka teki

Suatu waktu dahulu ,
ayah bonda tidak benci ,
ayah bonda hanya diuji ,
terkena musibah di mata ,
merah menyala , tidak boleh dibuka
Ayah bonda kasihkan kami ,
bimbang dijangkiti
jadi bukan teka teki lagi

Suatu waktu dahulu ......
aku tidak mampu ,
menarikan lagu lagi
menggerak jari-jemari
bukan kerana jemu
kerana pilunya hati ini

Suatu waktu dahulu ,
Bonda , ayahda , dan kanda
Kami leka bahagia
Tika ini kami didakap rindumu
Doa saban waktu , agar ayahbonda dan kanda
dicucuri rahmatNya ... Amin

LEATHERBACK TURTLES - TERENGGANU

The State of Terengganu was once famed for their turtles. Each night female Leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) would make the long journey up the beaches of Rantau Abang and along the entire coast of Terengganu. In one season 10,000 leatherback turtle nests would be created by these huge creatures. The Leatherback turtle is the largest of the living marine turtles, being in excess of 3m and weighing just under 1 tonne. She is like no other living turtle with a soft carapace sporting a leathery skin istead of a hard shell which allows her to dive to depths of 1200m. The Leatherback population globally was estimated to be 35,000 females in 2004, unfortaunetly this number is dwindling fast and in Malaysia they are nearly extinct.

10,000 nests a season was the norm in 1950 but since 2000 only a handful of leatherback turtles have nested on the beaches of Peninsular Malaysia. The sharp decline from the largest nesting colony of leatherback turtles to zero is due to many reasons but turtle egg consumption is the focus of this article.

It is a local custom to eat turtle eggs in Malaysia. A custom that could spell the end of all turtles in Malaysia. The Department of Fisheries, Terengganu have banned the collection and trade of leatherback turtle eggs but trade in the other species of turtle is still legal. Turtle eggs are widely sold in local markets which is fuelling poaching of turtle eggs in other States of Malaysia who have banned all turtle egg trade such as Sabah and Sarawak.

Pre 1970's almost 100% of the eggs laid on the beaches of Terengganu would have been collected by the villages who harvest the free bounty. Unfortunately the effects of the turtle egg bounty was not seen immediately due to the ecology and long life of the turtles who can live up to 80 years old. It may be too late for the leatherback turtles in Malaysia as no eggs have produced healthy hatchlings since 2000. In June 2008 two females nested at Rantau Abang and the Department of Fisheries personell could find only 41 infertile eggs – only half of what was expected, it is thought poachers had taken some of the eggs. The Department of Fisheries have considered using advanced reproductive biotechnology to fertilise the eggs using the semen from Green turtles. However the success of this artificial insemination has not been released. The fact of the story is that money makes the world go round and 1 turtle egg fetching USD1 and considering one green turtle nest consists of 100 eggs it is clear to see if there is a demand for turtle eggs there will always be poachers.

Endau-Rompin - The Most Beautiful Jungle

Located on the Johor-Pahang border, this 2½-century-old extensive lowland forest is home to several rare and endangered species. This park is popular with conservationists and nature lovers who enjoy the wildlife and virgin environment.

Endau-Rompin National Park is made up of a lush, pristine tropical rainforest. Covering an area of 48,905 hectares (800 sq. km), it is the second largest national park in the Peninsula after Taman Negara. With rock formations dating back some 248 million years, Endau-Rompin is mostly hilly with some prominent sandstone plateau. It also happens to be the watershed of several rivers such as Endau River, Selai River, and Jasin River.

As the forest had only recently been established, access to it is quite difficult and entry to the park requires a special permit from the National Park (Johor) Corporation, which only entertains requests for research and fishing limited to designated areas only. However, it would be well worth the effort in attaining a permit to this park as it is the home and sanctuary of the largest population of the rare Sumatran rhinoceros. The spectacular Livistona Endauensis fan palms can also be found here.

There are two entry points to the park, Kampung Peta and Nitar. The former is located 56km from Pahang The visitor would have to traverse through rubber and oil palm plantations, as well as dense jungle along dirt tracks to the base camp. From Nitar, a Felda Plantation scheme, the park can be reached after an 8 hour boat ride along the Endau River. Kampung Peta is also the most remote Orang Asli (aboriginal) settlement in Johor.

Part of Endau-Rompin's attraction is that the park is intrinsically tied up with numerous legends and myths handed down through the years. One such legend is that of Upih Guling, which is located midway to the Buaya Sangkut waterfalls.
