D Penghujung'06 & 'Eiduladha 1427H

'Eiduladha 1427H kali ni rasa macam tak de yang spesial. Dalam keadaan ummat dlanyak dan dbuat bahan uji senjata moden hampir setiap hari, rasa macam kita pula Qurban dunia! Tak perlu tunggu 'Eiduladha. Setiap masa, ummat dbedal!

Apa lagi cuaca dan angin sejuk yang bertiup, membuatkan 'Eiduladha tahun ni agak muram. Teringat masa winter d Tulsa. Muram. Mendung. Mengantuk!

Solat 'Eiduladha kali ni d masjid (dah lama jugak tak solat 'Eid d masjid). Tahun ni mussola 'Eid dtutup. Jadi lokasi stesen LRT Dubai (bakal siap 2008/2009).

Sarapan pagi d Fudzail's. Ramai juga yang berkumpul. Malam sebelumnya kami berkumpul d Warqa' (my place). Iftar pot luck posa Arafah. Selepas bertandang d Fudzail's kami berconvoy ke rumah penghulu warga melayu Singapura, Bang Fuad. Program tetap 'Eid. Sejak bertahun. Bukan setakat warga Singapura. Ada juga dari Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia dan kenkadang dari Brunei.

Cuaca sejuk ada kesannya. Program Qurban d rumah Bang Fuad semalam ramai yang "chalo" awal (for the record, 32 ekor kambing sebagai Qurban/udhiyyah semalam - satu rekod baru!)

Macam biasa, Bang Fuad pasti ada sesuatu yang nak dkongsi sama. Dtariknya aku ketepi. "U tau, US dah bunuh Saddam pagi tadi?", dengan muka yang merah padam. Dia betul-betul marah. Katanya memang Saddam banyak dosa, tapi sensitiviti ummat betul-betul diuji oleh Amerika. Hari Raya Haji? Qurbankan seorang Muslim?

Sembang kami sempat juga "singgah" ke topik dinasti anak beranak Putrajaya. Walaupun Bang Fuad kelahiran Singapura, dia tetap menyinga melihat perilaku PLah anak beranak. Lebih melayu dari melayu AMENO. Menyinga Bang Fuad melihat semakin lama semakin banyak aliran hak empunya Malaya menyeberang Selat Tebrau!

Entah apa lagi nak "dhadiah"kan pada Singapura, katanya!

Perbualan kami terhenti. 32 ekor kambing Qurban tiba!

Datangnya kambing Qurban menggembirakan anak-anak dperantauan yang belum pernah melihat ibadah Qurban djalankan. Apa mungkin, 2007 bakal menggembirakan ummat?

Jual "steering lock"?

It is quite uncommon to see steering lock devices here in the UAE.

Kecurian kereta semakin menjadi-jadi. Antara yang menjadi mangsa ialah Malaysian d Sharjah - berlaku beberapa bulan lalu (boleh baca d sini)

Hmm...any enterprising Malaysian here?

dari Emirates Today Online:

Sharjah residents are worried about the safety of their cars after a large number of thefts have been reported from National Paints and Al Nahda areas.

  The latest theft was reported in the National Paints area on Saturday morning.

  “I was shocked to learn that my 2005 model Toyota Prado [Dubai Registration E5143] was missing from the car park on Saturday morning.

  “After searching the entire area, I went to the police station and filed a case,” said Mohammed Haji, one of the victims.

  He said the car, worth Dh120,000, was missing and he was waiting for a police investigation to be completed before he claims insurance to buy a new one.

  “Most likely the theft happened between 2am and 6am on Saturday,” he added.

  The victim, who lives in Juma Al Majid building near Bin Ladin roundabout, said a number of vehicles are parked there. “I do not know how they opened the door. There was no watchman in the area and my car did not have any alarm,” he said.

The victim said he has filed a case with Sharjah Police.

“From the police officials I learned that about 16 cars have been stolen from different parts of Sharjah in recent months. Another attempt targeted a Toyota four-wheel drive from the same area.”   A Sharjah Police source said cases of theft are handled by the police station where the incident takes place.

Police have advised residents to be cautious and warned them not to park cars in secluded areas and to install alarm systems as a safety precaution against car theft.

Recently, residents caught a suspect who was attempting to break into a Toyota car.

“He was carrying a large bunch of keys.

“Two onlookers caught him and handed him over to the police,” said Haji.

Noushad, an engineer working in Dubai, said his Toyota Corolla has been miss ing since December 10. “I left my new Toyota Carolla [Dubai registration G78121] in the car park of my building near the KFC in Al Nahda.

  “I have filed a case with the Buhaira Police station. I have been told by them that an investigation is going on but it may take some time.

  “I cannot claim insurance because the investigation is ongoing. I am currently using a vehicle from a rental agency,” he said.

  “I believe that about five cars were stolen from the car park of the next building in November 2006,” he said.

  The victims included an Indian man from Andhra Pradesh state.

Presiden UAE Shaikh Khalifa nampak gaya meneruskan tradisi membela rakyat yang dpelopori almarhum ayahandanya, Shaikh Zayed Al Nahyan. Tiada slogan berdegar-degar. Macam Nike kata, Just do it!

Dalam tinjuannya ke Fujairah, salah sebuah emiriyah yang "kurang kaya" d UAE, beliau mengumumkan dana Dhs.200 juta untuk pembaik pulih 77 buah rumah rakyat tempatan dan pembinaan 137 buah rumah baru untuk anak watan! (Dhs.200 juta, jumlah rumah terlibat 210, pukul rata berapa harga rumah untuk anak watan UAE? Ada Dhs.25 atau 35 ribu sebuah?).

Semalam sempat bersama teman tempatan yang menyingkap kisah kebaikan almarhum Shaikh Zayed. Antaranya siapa teroka tanah d padang pasir, ia menjadi miliknya!

Lapuran tinjauan Shaikh Khalifa ke Fujairah d sini Inilah baru gemilang, cemerlang, terbilang. Dan tak temberang!

Cuti 'Eiduladha 1427H "4" Hari?

Lapuran akhbar (memetik Gulf News) hari ni melapurkan sektor awam akan bercuti selama "4" hari sempena 'Eiduladha 1427H!

Cuti "4" hari ini akan bermula dari hari Wuquf (9 Dzhulhijja = 29 Disember = Jumaat) hingga 13 Dzhulhijja (1 Januari 2007 = Isnin). Selasa, 14 Dzhulhijja = 2 Januari adalah hari kerja.

Apakah benar cuti "4" hari? Bukankah Jumaat dan Sabtu memang cuti mingguan sektor awam d UAE?

Pelik.

Tetapi inilah hakikatnya. Cuti selalunya menjadi "isu besar". Tiada yang selaras d sini. Yang sektor awam selalunya lebih cuti dari sektor private. Pengumuman cuti pula selalu saja last minute d umumkan. Susah nak buat perancangan, terutama yang bercadang nak berjalan jauh!

Bila bertembung dengan hari yang memang dah cuti, tiada kompensasi.

Teringat mula-mula datang ke UAE ni dulu, semasa isteri bersalin anak ke-3 kami.

Bila dtanya berapa hari cuti paternity bagi suami yang isterinya bersalin, pihak HR terkedu kehairanan!

"What is paternity leave?", mereka bertanya!

Masih tak bertemu titik persamaan dalam menyambut hari lebaran?
