a letter to our minister

To whom it may concern

i just saw in the news on tv a few days back and i was rather annoyed with the statement made by the minister of housing regarding the fact that they (the ministry) unable to produce a special act/ policy/ circular regarding the erratic rises of the price of houses these days. they claimed that they (the government) cannot control the prices because of the high demand of the houses and properties as well as the rising cost of raw materials. it is such a crap thing, i think...i mean, you are the GOVERNMENT. you make policies, rules and regulations, acts and circular yadda yadda...what do you mean when you dont have the power to do so...after all, all the laws and legal acts were made by the previous  government. things can change. if you can make our students confused with all sorts of policies and education programs, one day PPSMI, another day, no more PPSMI, so why cant you take control over the housing price like how you control all the controlled items like flour, sugar..like you can subsidised petrol...why cant help us in getting a decent inexpensive house??

one and half year ago, i booked a house in Alam Sari which is the only freehold land under PKNS in Bangi, the rest were least hold. the starting price of the house was RM 390 k plus...to me that was already expensive though i know that other colleagues of mine spend more than RM 500k for a dream house. i finally gave up that house due to other financial commitment. now, it has been more that one and a half year, guess what is the price of the SAME house? it reaches up to RM500k....imagine how much is the increment? when you say prices increases because of demand, highly cost materials and value of the land...how do you actually determine the value of the land? it's just a speculations, isn't it?  just a number with an unknown formulatory giving you the so-called value of the  house. so if there is an increment of more than RM100k per year, what is the price of the house in the next 3 years? 5 years? 10 years? what's gonna happen to my children...who will be an independent adult in the next 20 years? i'm sure by that time, houses will cost millions. even now, i've seen double storey  terrace house with land about 20x70' selling at the price of RM500k...that is in Kajang2...where are my children going to live? loans with banks now are also a hassle as for RM500k house will cost about a million or so when you complete your bank loan..if you're still alive to make the ful payment. thanks to the high interest rates.

our value of money is getting smaller, sooner or later, our currency will be similar to Indonesia which has very little value. imagine i small pack of nasi lemak in the future will cost you RM 25.....and with the little increment of salary for government servant, how are we going to survive in the coming future? how will our children live in that so-called modern urbanisation? my husband kept on asking me...by the time our children grown up, how are they going to buy houses if is is going to be more and more expensive? even now, i can only afford for necessity, not luxurious life....the poor will get poorer and yes... the rich will get more rich... true?

oh i forgot.. i probably asked the wrong question to the wrong person....you probably has not think about it yet...and yes if you do think about it, it's more for you own family and crony, isn't it? oh...cronyism....you probably has not think about it, about the future of your citizens because you are plainly thinking about yourself and survival of your own generations. and yes.. you will say "it's nature...those well will survive, others will extinct"..you dont feel our difficulties because by now, i bet you have lots and lots of investment and properties and houses...the number of houses/ properties you have are basically enough to sustain few lines of your generations... but not for us the citizens.

yearly, the prices of basic necessities are increasing but the increment of our salary is not up to the increment of these prices. cost of living shooting up but our salary is like snailing up the wall. my husband had a good KPI this year comparing to previous years but because they have this stupid bell shape graft to normalised and equalised the KPI score, my husband KPI has to be downgrade? what such nonsense is that? if you perform..you perform lah.. why do you have to downgrade? so what's the point of doing KPI if motivated staff who work really hard for a good KPI but in the end, being downsized?? in the end, that is what happened in government service...little increment,  little incentive but work like a cooly.. so everyone ended up doing their work "lenggang lenggang kangkung" or "melepaskan batuk di tangga" or "cant be bothered anymore" only.

so if you are the government, why are you not seeing this? not doing anything about it? you making lots of excuses and fuss like as if in the next General Election, you're predicting that you're going to lose, becoming the opponents, that is why by now, you're making statement that you are unable to do anything now.

you're so clever, you are chasing for glamorous, modern urbanisation and civilisation is looked as having a modern city with high sky rise building, chic fashion, modern dancing students like the permata....but yes, you forgotten few things...too much investment on those but little on other important element of being "modern" in term of health and "modal insan" and "sahsiah"... well just look at our teenagers now a days... so spoilt..the rates of premarital sexual and baby dumping increasing each year...we are moving back to jahilliyah world... aren't you concern about it? or you're too concern about your own survival.. oh yes... i forgot....you do want to survive.. on your own...what about health? you "catu-catu" all the medications, from originals to generic which is yes, less expensive therefore poorer control of diseases because they (medicine) are cheap, so they are less effective too.

you blinded everyone with all your colourful policies and incentives but in the end, brings nothing but more disasters to us...thank you....what can i say... 1Malaysia lah...

p/s - and yes, i'm also struggling finding enough money to get my son to a good kindergarten because now a days, they are quite expensive.. what to do, my salary is not enough for that. but one thing for sure, i'm not sending him to KEMAS nor Permata, he's only going to learn dancing and singing there.. sorry no thank you.

fasa baru..kerisauan saya

kehidupan kita penuh dengan fasa2 yg berbeza.. dari alam roh ke alam rahim ke alam dunia ke alam barkzah dan kemudian ke alam akhirat. dalam meniti fasa kehidupan di alam dunia ini, kita terpecah pula ke fasa2 lain, dr bayi ke kanak2, kpd remaja, dewasa, alam perkahwinan, berzuriat etc.

selepas melalui alam menjadi ibu bapa, kini saya melangkah pula menjadi ibu kepada anak bersekolah. tahun hadapan, anak sulung saya, Mujahid akan memulakan sesi persekolahannya di tadika. kalau ikutkan tahun, Mujahid masuk 5 tahun tahun hadapan, tp disbbkan Mujahid lahir di hujung tahun, maka dia masih 4 tahun 1 minggu apabila memulakan sesi persekolahannya.

rupa2nya pening juga nak memikirkan hal2 sekolah nih. pertama, nak fikir nak hantar ke tadika mana? sudah tentu nak cari yg terbaik tapi manakah yg terbaik? di smping itu, banyak tadika2 sudah tentu akan mempromosikan mengatakan programnya yg terbaik....dalam proses itu juga, yg menjadi permasalahan kedua adalah bajet/ kewangan. sama ada mampu atau tidak utk ke tadika itu. susahnya nak buat keputusan....nak 'syllabus' yg bagus tapi bayaran yg murah..ada ke??? gaji kami berdua duk takat tuh je... ntah lah bila kerajaan nak naikkan gaji nih. selain drpd tu, masalah ketiga ialah pengangkutan...untuk membawa Mujahid ulang alik dari tadika ke taska....mencabar rupanya ye menjadi ibu bapa ni.... yer betul... memang bukan senang jadi ibu bapa...banyak tanggungjawab.

dalam byk2 persoalan yg bermain di kepala seperti yg disebutkan di atas tadi, yg paling saya 'nervous' ialah memikirkan mcm mana nanti gelagat anak teruna saya nih dalam proses pembelajarannya...bukanlah nak berfikiran pesimistik tentang hal tu, cumanya sbb tak pernah lagi tengok dia belajar. di rumah pun, ajar sikit2 aje...almaklumlah kekangan masa buat saya yg terkejar2 menguruskan rumah termasuk masak, 'laundry' dll. di rumah, apabila berpeluang utk mengajarnya, Mujahid seakan2 tidak berminat dan tidak fokus. tapi apabila bertanya tentang progress anak saya di taska, cikgu2nya kata dia ok... sekarang nih pon Mujahid dah belajar Iqra' di taska....ikut makluman cikgu, Mujahid cepat tangkap..... terang hati..... berbunga2 hati saya mendengarnya... alhamdulillah.... dalam byk main, nak juga anak saya nih belajar....saya mengagak mungkin anak teruna saya ini perlukan suasana pembelajaran yg kondusif, sokongan rakan2 sebaya dan cikgu2 yg ada. di rumah, banyak selingan dan gangguan seperti mainan dan tv. pastu biasanya susah sikit nak dengar kata ibu bapa berbanding dgn cikgu2.

'nervous' menjadi2 bila kita lihat anak orang lain lebih laju dan 'super'. Ya, saya tahu...setiap anak adalah merupakan individu yg berbeza, jangan sesekali membanding2kan mereka kerana ini akan punahkan sifat kendiri mereka (self esteem)... bukan niat nak membanding2kan, cuma melihat perkembangannya (developmental milestone) terutamanya yg dibandingkan itu adalah sepupu2nya yg sebaya. Yg membezakannya ialah Mujahid lahir hujung tahun, maka perbezaannya hampir2 setahun, mungkinkan 'milestone' nya memang sesuai aja dengan umurnya yg lewat itu. kanak2 lain juga fasih namun Mujahid pelat...walaupun saya seorang doktor, kadang2 tak semua saya tahu... tak semua ada dalam buku..ramai sangkakan saya tahu namun saya hanyalah seorang ibu biasa yg turut mempunyai perasaan risau akan anak2nya. saya tertanya2...anak2 lain yg masuk tadika, semuanya sama aje ke..maksud saya, tak pandai tulis, baca etc.. 

semalam baru je pergi Hari Terbuka Little Caliph Duta Iman di Taman Dutamas...cawangan baru di BTHO ni..mcm menarik....tapi masa di sana, salah seorang cikgu di sana sempat melayan Mujahid. tiba2 dia tegur saya mengatakan anak saya nih "istimewa" sedikit. saya tak tahu nak respon mcm mana.... dia kata begitu mengikut pemerhatian dia cara Mujahid bermain dan mewarna topeng singa. dia kata anak saya takkan belajar mcm kanak2 lain yg seusia dengannya..mungkin dia akan nampak lewat/ kurang faham berbanding yg lain.dia nampak aktif dan kurang fokus/ kurang memberi perhatian. dia kata dia ingin memberitahu saya supaya saya sedar dan tidak menyalahkan anak saya sekiranya dia tidak 'perform' seperti yg diinginkan lalu memarahinya dan berputus asa...dia kata saya kena bersabar dan usaha lebih dr ibu bapa lain, saya kena byk luangkan masa mengajar dia. namun dia nmpak potensi Mujahid, dia kata lagi, Mujahid sebenarnya bijak dan kreatif dalam menyelesaikan masalah/ mencari penyelesaian masalah. saya terpinga2. apa yg harus saya lakukan? apa yg dia maksudkan? inilah yg menambah2kan kerisauan saya. saya pon sedia maklum yg anak saya ni kuat main, kadang2 buat mcm tak dengar... (telinga tersumbat ke?) tapi tak jangka hingga sebegini. sedangkan Iqra' di taska dia mengaji laju kata cikgunya....saya berdoa agar Allah mudahkannya utk saya dan Mujahid, kami sekeluarga..mudah utk Mujahid belajar, terangkan hati dia, dan terangkan hati saya utk mengajarnya juga...kita tunggu dan lihat perkembanganya nanti smbil doa dan usaha, Insya Allah...ameen.

cukup di situ...berbalik kepada 'nursery hunting' saya.........

pencarian pertama saya terhenti di PASTI. ingatkan nak hantar di situ kerana tertarik melihat kecilikan kanak2 usia muda begitu mampu memberi khutbah jumaat yg hebat (lihat youtube)....berdebat, berceramah, bersajak..subhanallah, bijak2 anak2 ini...aktif sukan dalam bola sepak, yg perempuan pula dalam bola jaring...pandai baca doa, hafal quran, hafal hadis... harap2 anak saya juga menjadi hebat sebegitu.... di samping itu, bayaran sesi pengajarannya adalah berpatutan dan mampu utk saya. berniat agar duit yg kita beri itu dapat juga sedikit sebnyk membantu pembangunan pendidikan kanak2 PASTI yg mana organisasi tersebut berjalan atas organisasi yg 'non-profitable'.

kemudian, tertanya2 pula psal Tadika Taman Kasih yg mana dimaklumkan bahawa cikgu2 berkaliber dan berdedikasi dalam mengajar terutamanya bab membawa. teringat anak saudara saya yg pd awalnya tidak tahu membaca,,dan dalam beberapa bulan sahaja.... wallaaaa...boleh membaca!!! saya nak anak saya pandai membaca. bab yuran pula, mahal skit dr PASTI.

di taman yg saya duduki, terdapat byk lagi tadika lain terutamanya tadikan yg berasaskan pendidikan Islam seperti Genius Aulad, Little Caliph dan CIC. bila melihatkan 'syllabus'nya, memang sungguh bagus dan ianya menggunakan bahasa Inggeris sebagai medium bahasa utama pembelajaran. namun, yurannya agak mahal. hmm. jauh mahal sebenarnya.


jadi yg mana satu? akhirnya saya dan suami terpaksa duduk membuat belanjawan keluarga 2012.. walaupun sebelum ini sudah berkali2 dibuat, tapi perlu di'revise' kan kembali... Ya Allah, tunjukkan lah kepada kami apa yg terbaik utk kami dan anak2 kami...saya dan suami sebenarnya buntu, tak dapat nak buat keputusan. yg berminat, Little Caliph, tapi dr aspek kemampuan, mungkin lebih berat kepada PASTI/ Taman Kasih (tp lebih berat kpd PASTI sbb pembelajarannya berunsurkan Islam)....Little Caliph tuh pon bukan sbb apa, sbb kakak ipar saya pon hantar anak2nya ke tadika sama tp cawangan kajang lah...kakak saya juga dan daftarkan anaknya yg sebaja dengan mujahid di sana... kami dalam dilemma... saya cakap dengan suami, apa kata tanya mak.... bila mak yg kata/ buat keputusan/ bagi cadangan, rasa 'secure' skit.. sbb mak tahu segala2nya....akhirnya

Little Caliph...here we come....

saya dan suami kena bajet ketat skit lah nampaknya.... harap2nya Allah permudahkan utk kami dalam urusan ini.... moga juga dimurahkan rezeki kami anak beranak.... (mcm naik gaji ke...hehe, tambah elaun ke hehehe).. saya berdoa moga ALlah kurniakan rezeki kepada kami dr jalan yg tidak disangka2..seperti dalam ayat seribu dinar..kena slalu praktikkan dalam doa harian setiap kali lps solat...moga juga Allah kurniakan kami anak2 yg soleh/solehah lagi bijak dan cilik. Ameen.

"Apa yg kita fikirkan itulah yg merupakan doa kita" jadi saya kena berfikiran positif.!!! caiyuk...

How To Pray Five Times A Day With A Busy Work Schedule 

Before I genuinely began to cultivate and nurture my relationship with God, I regarded the five daily prayers that Islam enjoins on believers as laborious. It seemed impractical to expect that I would be able to stop what I was doing during my busy work schedule to take time out and pray.
Working as a news wire journalist, I was often spending upwards of 10 hours a day in the office or at conferences, interviews and meetings, barely able to make time for a lunch break. If I wasn't working, my time was divided between house chores, errands, family and friends, and exercise. I was punctual with everything in my life, except that I was late five times a day.
In my mind, it was not viable to expect that I could wake up before the crack of dawn to pray the early-morning prayer, fajr, otherwise I would be too tired to work effectively later that morning. It also seemed inefficient to interrupt my work meetings to pray duhr, the mid-day prayer, and asr, the afternoon prayer.
Making the sunset prayer maghrib was often a challenge because the window to pray is typically quite short and coincides with the time between finishing work, having dinner and returning home. So, in effect, the only prayer that was feasible for me to pray on time was isha, the evening prayer. For most of my life, thus, I would at best pray all five prayers in the evening, or skip prayers here and there to accommodate my immediate commitments.


Women pray at Prophet's Mosque in Medina, Saudi Arabia, Mandy Merzaban photo Without realising it, my inconsistency and approach to praying trivialised the principle behind performing prayers throughout the day. I believed in God and loved Him, but on my own terms, not on the terms very clearly set out in the Quran and Prophetic teachings. Yet praying the five daily prayers, at their prescribed times, is the backbone of being a Muslim; we cannot stand upright in our faith without them. It is one of the essential practices that God has called on those who endeavour to live in Islam, a state of existence whereby a human strives to live in submission to God.
When I came to truly understand the importance of prayer, the realisation was both overwhelming and quick. It dawned on me that if I was not fulfilling this precondition, then I really could not claim to be Muslim. Even if I desired to have a solid connection with the Almighty I was not taking the necessary steps to do so. I promptly reoriented my life and it has now been a year and a half that I have not intentionally missed a prayer time, whether I am in the office, mall, grocery store, out with friends or travelling.
Looking back, I see how wrong I was about the impracticality of Islamic prayers, which are succinct and straightforward notwithstanding their resonance. When I moved from trying to fit prayers into my life to fitting my life around my prayer schedule, I instantly removed a great deal of clutter from my daily routine. Since regular prayer promotes emotional consistency and tranquillity, I began to eliminate excess negativity and cut down on unnecessary chitchat, helping me be more focused, productive and patient.
Over a short period of time, what amazed me was how easy and fluid the prayers became. Performing the early-morning prayer actually gave me a burst of energy during the day and, gradually, the prayers that I had initially perceived as cumbersome became an essential facet of my routine. With God's help, I would find ways to make a prayer regardless of the hurdles. While in Canada for the summer, I would often catch duhr prayer in a department store fitting room, with the help of a handy Islamic prayer compass application on my Iphone.


"'Verily the soul becomes accustomed to what you accustom it to.' That is to say: what you at first burden the soul with becomes nature to it in the end."
This is a line drawn from a magnificent book I am in the process of reading by great Islamic thinker Al-Ghazali, entitled "Invocations and Supplications: Book IX of the Revival of Religious Sciences." Al-Ghazali describes a series of formulas, drawn from the Qur'an and Hadith, which we can repeat to help us attain greater proximity to the divine and purify our hearts.


Women gather for prayer outside the Prophet's Mosque in Medina, Mandy Merzaban photo At each turn in my quest to enrich my faith, I have found that what at first appears difficult becomes easy when performed with sincerity. Soon after I reoriented my life to revolve around prayer, the five prayers felt insufficient in expressing my devotion. I examined Hadith, or the traditions of Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, and discovered there were optional prayers I could add to my routine. Since then, I have not let a day pass without praying them.
To supplement my prayers, I have integrated various zikr, or remembrance and mentioning of God, into my days. Zikr, including repeating such phrases as "la illa ha il Allah" (There is no God but God), habitually draws our attention back to God.
Among the many rich invocations mentioned in Ghazali's book is this one which I have started to incorporate. As we leave our houses each day, if we say "In the name of God" (Bismillah), God will guide us; when we add "I trust in God" (Tawakalt al Allah), God will protect us; and if we conclude with "There is no might or power save with God" (La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah), God will guard us.

I suppose to an outsider, these acts of devotion can appear a bit obsessive, and I have had a couple of people say this to me. Yet it is an obsession with the greatest possible consequences that can improve rather than disintegrate one's disposition. The more time I devote to God, the greater the peace of mind I find filling my life and the more focused I become on what is important -- such as treating my family and friends honourably, working hard in my job, giving charity with compassion and generosity, and maintaining integrity.
Remembering God throughout the day, through prayer and invocation, truly does polish the heart as Hadith teaches; you erase obstructions that would impede faith in its purest form.


"Truly when a man loves a thing, he repeatedly mentions it, and when he repeatedly mentions a thing, even if that may be burdensome, he loves it," writes Ghazali.

Hepi 1 year old MYVi

lama juga tak coret sesuatu dalam blog nih, makin lama makin malas pulak. bila nak tulis, terbantut sbb sentiasa diganggu oleh anak2 tersayang...maklumlah nak attention dr ibunya.

pada bulan lepas, kita semua menyambut sambutan raya haji aidiladha, dan tidak seperti tahun2 sebelumnya, raya tahun ini agak berbeza buat saya sekeluarga. pada tahun lepas, disbbkan saya tidak mempunyai cuti yg banyak, maka raya haji disambut di kampung saya di Lenggeng. pada pagi raya pertama, kami membuat keputusan utk membawa anak2 melihat sendiri proses qorban yg dilakukan di jalan utama taman kami. dilihatnya lembu2 itu tenang dan pasrah sementara menunggu giliran utk disembelih. setelah leher mereka dikelar, mereka berbunyi mengeluh namun akhirnya tumbang kr bumi utk menjadi sumber makanan kita. anak lelaki saya sibuk seronok melihat lembu2 itu, saya pula termenung sejenak memikirkan betapa indahnya peraturan Ilahi kerana dijadikan binatang2 ternak ini jinak agar mudah utk dijadikan sumber makanan. di mata lembu tersebut, dilihat satu perasaan redha dan pasrah dengan ketentuan Penciptanya..

tahun ini, kami sekeluarga menyambut malam raya di lenggeng. tiada qorban dibuat tahun ini, kami sekeluarga membuat keputusan utk membuat tahlil selepas solat sunat raya dan kemudian brunch di rumah salah seorang makcik saya yg terletak berdekatan dengan surau/ madrasah datuk saya. tahun ini berbeza kerana kami kehilangan 2 orang penting dalam keluarga kami iaitu nenek dan makcik saya ( yg merupakan seorang pakar kanak2)...saya juga tidak cuti lama utk kembali ke terengganu kerana tak merancang cuti dengan baik jd dpt cuti sekejap je.

seperti tajuk di atas....bulan lepas juga, sudah genap setahun MYVi saya bersama2 saya. walaupun usia MYVI saya tuh bukan setahun, bahkan lebih dua tahun usianya, dia baru bersama2 saya dalam setahun sahaja.

setahun yg lalu , jenuh juga saya nak mencari kereta.. pd awalnya nak cari ketika saya di posting Kecemasan kerana saya kerja syif, jadi agak sukar utk suami menghantar mengikut masa syif... namun, lama kelamaan, kami sudah biasa dengan rutin itu lalu proses mencari kereta itu tertangguh. tapi di akhir posting tersebut, kami membuat keputusan utk mencari juga kerana takut2 bila saya dah MO nanti, saya kena dihantar tmpt kerja yg lagi jauh dan menyukarkan utk saya carpool dengan suami. suami saya kata saya kena praktis bawa kereta, nanti kalau lambat2, (last minute), kelam kabut pula. lepas survey2, akhirnya saya berkenan dengan MYVi yg saya pakai sekarang ni. sebabnya, tuan dia dulu menjaga dia dengan baik, keadaan kereta sangat memuaskan, dan bila memandu juga rasa selesa dan sedap, servis pula mengikut masa. keadaan luaran dan dalaman kereta bersih dan berkilat, tuannya dulu sentiasa membasuhnya. jadi ketika saya di posting paediatrics (posting akhir saya), saya pon banyak2 berlatih membawa kereta. nasib baik praktis, tengok sekarang kena "campak" ke seremban. masa pertama kali membawa kereta ke seremban, takut tak ingat punyer, ketar2 kaki saya sampai nak kejang kerana lama sangat tekan pedal minyak, walaupun bawa kereta automatik sahaja. almaklumlah, tak pernah bawa kereta utk jarak jauh dan jangkamasa lama. bulan pertama saya agak stress sehinggakan sentiasa diserang sakit leher dan bahu dan saya hampir2 putus asa kerana dek kepenatan. rasa mcm nak pindah balik. nak nangis. namun suami suruh saya bersabar, dia kata nanti lama2, saya akan biasa lah. tapi memang betul, lama kelamaan, saya menjadi biasa kerana ia sudah menjadi sebahagian dari rutin kerja saya setiap hari. sekarang nih dah 8 bulan di seremban. cuma......kadang2, saya kesian kat kereta saya sbb saya tak sempat nak basuh dia...sbbkan dia warna putih, jadi nampak comot.

sehingga sekarang, saya sangat terikat (attached) dengan kereta MYVi saya kerana dia telah banyak berjasa kepada saya dalam tahun pertama ini. saya sentiasa berharap yg kereta saya ni akan terus berjasa kepada saya. SAYANG MYVI!!!

ni gambo contoh je...kete aku comot sket haha

memori mak cidah

ini adalah sajak nukilan arwah makcik saya sendiri buat anak kembarnya di hari jadi mereka yg ke 18.

Nukilan untuk Ana dan Iya dari Ibu

23 november 91 mengimbau kembali

Rentetan sejarah tercatit kini

Gelaran ibu anugerah ilahi

Puteri nan kembar bak bidadari

Lahirmu penuh tanda tanya

Kehadiran dua mu tidak diduga

sayup suara tangisan pertama

Bahagia ibu yang gundah gulana

Hadirmu berdua membawa cahaya

Mengisi kesunyian jiwa yang lara

Syukurnya ibu tiada tolaknya

Hendak ku tangis tiada suara

Syukurnya nenda mu bukan kepalang

Keraguan di hati segera hilang

Sangkakan satu dua yang datang

Pemecah tradisi si anak minang

Putih kulitmu bak telur dikupas

Keayuan wajahmu pandang tak puas

Bisikan azan di telinga dilafaz

Moga awalan mu tak tercemar balas

Kaulah permata buah hati ibu

Dirimu dibelai umpama ratu

Kasihnya ibu tiada sekutu

Mendidik dirimu tak kenal jemu

Amanah tuhan semesta alam

Keatas ibu siang dan malam

Kasihku baja sayang ku siram

Moga jiwamu tak di intai kelam

Anakanda berdua belaian jiwa

Nasihat ibu bukan bersahaja

Datang dari cebisan rasa

Berlandaskan fakta serta agama

Pastikan dulu arah tujumu

Tanamkan azam tekad di kalbu

Kekuatan dan keyakinan sudah bersatu

Gelombang yang datang gentar teraju

Dengarlah sayang ibu berkata

Di atas tinta curahan rasa

Hati keruan berdebar dada

Risau nasib mu di hari muka

18 tahun cabaran usia

Pancaroba datang tak kira ketika

Jangan kamu lalai dan juga alpa

Moga remaja mu mekar berwarna

Dewasa kamu gelisah menanti

Bimbang bencana menerjah diri

Doa ku pohon tiada henti

Jangan maruah dipandang sepi

Wahai puteri ku cahaya mata

Selami keluhan hati ibunda

Nasihat ibu pantang didusta

Kelak dirimu akan kecewa

Sekian kali mendengar bicara

Kepercayaan ibu jangan di noda

Jauhi sikap tipu dan dusta

Sejahtera hidupmu dimaya pada

Berdiam diri bukannya sudi

Gerak langkahmu ku kawal rapi

Dosa dan noda jangan dicari

Binasa hidupmu membakar diri

Andai kau tewas tanpa diduga

Hancur hati ku penawar tiada

Kemaafan ibu usah dipinta

Umpama tenggelam timbul tiada

Pabila ibu anakanda khianati

Kesan nya dasyat tidak terperi

Akan ku tutup hati nurani

Derita ku bawa sampai ke mati

Berperi ibu bukannya benci

Menyiksa dirimu jauh sekali

Harapan hati menggunung tinggi

Matang berfikir jangan bermimpi

Sayang pada mu tidak terperi

Sanggup ku gadai nyawa dan diri

Sabarnya ibu terbatas tepi

Berputih mata rela kau pergi

Ana dan Iya buah hati ku

Pada mu berdua ibu berseru

Cekerawala batasan ilmu

Terokai ia jangan kau jemu

Taburlah bakti sepenuh jiwa

Untuk agama, bangsa dan negara

Jangan balasan diharap pinta

Syurgawi pasti buatmu di sana

Noktah kehidupan sudahlah pasti

Ayah dan ibu mu tidak terkecuali

Saat dan ketika mengundur diri

Airmata dibuang jangan sekali

Perjuangan mu anak ku belum berakhir

Pemergian ibu memang di takdir

Panjatkan selalu doa dan zikir

Mudah urusanku penangan bibir

Tinta keturunan pantang digadai

Bak pantai indah dilanda badai

Bergegar bumi ikatan terlerai

Salasiah nendamu pastikan bersemai

Indah namamu manja bak puitis

Mewarnai maya umpama perintis

Harapan Ibunda kaulah waris

Penyambung warisan minda yang arif

Lanjut usia mu doa di pinta

Bahagia hidup mu lindungan Esa

Anakanda berdua belaian jiwa

Berjuanglah kamu bagai satria

Duhai puteri ku tambatan sukma

Pesanan ibu jadikan pusaka

Kemenangan dijulang sedetik masa

Namamu dikenang selama lama

Berakhir sudah gurindam rasa

Cetusan hati ayah dan bonda

Buat pedoman anakanda berdua

Untuk menempuh alam dewasa
