Teater Natrah


Masih ingat kisah Natrah? Teater yang diangkat daripada kisah benar yang menyayat hati ini bakal dipertontonkan di Istana Budaya mulai esok (Isnin, 30 November). Penjualan tiket Teater Natrah yang telah mula dijual sejak sebulan lalu tidaklah saya ketahui sehingga hari ini. Belum terlambat rasanya jika dikongsi disini dan rasanya tidak rugi jika dilaburkan sedikit wang untuk menyaksikan teater ini, bukan kerana barisan pelakonnya, tetapi kerana kisah ini bukan sahaja menjadi pengajaran kepada kita, malah ia pelu dijadikan teladan.

Mengapa masih ramai yang mengambil enteng tentang kisah Natrah? Mengapa pula kita perlu cakna tentang sejarah penting sebegini?

"Mungkin juga kerana sensitiviti masyarakat Malaysia terhadap isu perkauman dan agama. Isu ini hampir juga berulang tempoh hari apabila Kerajaan Barisan Nasional pimpinan Dato' Seri Najib hampir gagal menanganinya tempoh hari. Kabinet sebelum ini memutuskan apabila suami atau isteri memeluk agama Islam atau agama lain, status agama anak pasangan itu kekal mengikut kepercayaan pasangan berkenaan semasa mereka berkahwin. Keputusan ini telah menyaksikan protes yang hebat di seluruh negara."

Wallahu'alam.

Salam Aidiladha

Book Hunting 2


It's book hunting season again and this time it's at Amcorp Mall, Petaling Jaya. When we arrived at lunch time, we were surprised to see a crowd queuing in front of the entrance of the book sale. What was worst is that the entrance was closed as there were far too many people inside and the queue at the cashier's counter was 1 hour long! But hey, that won't stop us from hunting books! What surprises me most is the fact that it is the eve of Aidiladha and - supposedly - most people should be out of town and heading back to their hometown. It was also a weekday. Don't these people have to work? And it's only the first day of the sale!



We finally got in after a few minutes. There were piles of books everywhere. People were carrying boxes and pushing trolleys. We got ourselves a box too. In Malay, that would be called as 'cari pasal'.






Some of the book that we bought


So what are you guys waiting for?! Jum serang ramai-ramai!
