Dunia Hiburan Hipokrit, Bob Lokman Nekad Bersara

Oleh FERIDE HIKMET ATAK

PETALING JAYA: Pelawak Bob Lokman, 47, akhirnya membuat keputusan muktamad untuk bersara sebagai seorang pelakon selepas membuat keputusan untuk terlibat dengan aktiviti dakwah selain menjadi ahli PAS.

Bob atau nama sebenarnya Mohd Hakim Lokman berkata, dia sudah tidak mempercayai dunia hiburan yang dianggapnya sebagai hipokrit selain terdapat unsur-unsur yang tidak baik di dalamnya.

"Saya membuat keputusan untuk bersara kerana mendapati selama berkecimpung dalam dunia seni, banyak perkara yang tidak elok berlaku dalam bidang itu.

"Lagipun saya merasakan sekarang tibalah masanya untuk saya beralih menjadi seorang pendakwah," katanya kepada mStar Online, di sini, Rabu.

Bob yang pernah popular dengan lirik ciptaannya, Issabella nyanyian kumpulan Search memberitahu, dia tidak menyesal dengan keputusan tersebut walaupun rezekinya sebagai pendakwah tidak semewah berbanding ketika dia menjadi artis dahulu.

Bagaimanapun Bob yang mempunyai masalah penyakit Pankreas itu reda dengan hal itu demi mendapatkan hidayah dan berkat di dunia dan akhirat nanti.

Tambahnya, sejak 19 Februari lalu, dia kini lebih selesa berdakwah dan sekurang-kurangnya memberi ceramah sebanyak tiga kali sehari.

"Sebelum meninggal dunia, lebih baik saya melakukan amal jariah sebanyak yang mungkin. Sekurang-kurangnya, saya tidak mati dalam keadaan yang leka dan melakukan perkara yang sia-sia.

"Sebenarnya industri hiburan kita boleh menjadi lebih elok jika kita ubah sistemnya kerana Islam membenarkan umatnya melakukan apa sahaja tetapi dengan syarat-syarat tertentu," tuturnya.

Kata Bob, sejak bergelar seorang pendakwah, dia jarang bertemu dengan rakan-rakan artisnya melainkan mereka yang mendengar ceramahnya atau bertemu dia di masjid antaranya ialah Cico, Abu Bakar Omar, Wahid Senario, Adam AF dan Ahmad Fedtri Yahya.

Ijazah palsu?

Sudah ramaikah rakyat Malaysia yang membeli ijazah2 kedoktoran dan ijazah kehormat dewasa ini? Amalan ini mengikut STAR Online sudah lama berlaku dan telah melibatkan orang yang terkenal dan berkuasa. Kenapa mereka sanggup menipu? Contohnya pada satu masa dulu heboh diperkatakan terdapat seorang artis yang telah memperolehi ijazah Kedokotoran yang sedemikian.

Adakah huraian di bawah ini merujuk kepada artis berkenaan?

Bar Council Supports PR?

PRESS STATEMENT by Bar Council

In response to inquiries from the media, we wish to clarify Rohaizat Othman's status as an advocate and solicitor.
The Advocates and Solicitors Disciplinary Board struck Rohaizat Othman off the Roll of Advocates and Solicitors on 7 March 2008 after he was found guilty of misconduct. The Disciplinary Board's decision arose from an investigation into the complaint lodged against Rohaizat Othman by the purchaser of a piece of real property. According to the complaint, Rohaizat Othman failed to refund almost RM 161,000 to the complainant after the transaction was aborted.

Rohaizat Othman appealed against the decision of the Disciplinary Board to the High Court, and the appeal was dismissed on 12 August 2009. He is therefore legally disqualified from practising as an advocate and solicitor.
The finding of misconduct is personal to Rohaizat Othman, as the Disciplinary Board would not hold a lawyer liable for the actions of his/her law partner(s).

MY TAKE : Right or wrong , BC's statement is very damaging to BN candidate. Why now BC? Seems to me that BC is supporting PAS!

MACC makes arrest in abuse of funds probe

By LOURDES CHARLES (The STAR Online 15 August 2009)

KUALA LUMPUR: An aide to Selangor exco member Ronnie Liu has been arrested by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to assist in investigations into alleged abuse of development funds worth about RM500,000 by several state assemblymen.

Wong Chuan How, 51, who is also a Sepang municipal councillor, was arrested after a brief scuffle with MACC officers at about 9.450am at his Sungai Pelek service centre near Sepang.

My Take : Hasn't the MACC learned anything about to how to arrest and treat their suspects yet? I saw the video clip on TV of arrest and I'm not sure what really happened although it was claimed by the MACC that the suspect fell during the struggle. I have to see the video again if its available anywhere ..

Showdown at Mesjid Negara - AntiISA, ProISA & thePOLICE

Pic (STAR Online, 1 August 2009)

Once again, we have an all out protest against the ISA.

Fighting for their beliefs and ideals?

Fortunately, we have the police but pity them - for they will eventually get the blame. Their presence is to avoid any untoward incident.

Hope all are fine but with thousands of angry and unreasonable human beings whose to say!

Mereka juga rasis – Dr. Mahathir

“ KAMPALA 27 Julai – Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad berpendapat, mereka yang menuduh beliau rasis semata-mata kerana mempertahankan kepentingan orang Melayu dan menyuarakan hakikat kedudukan semasa kaum tersebut, juga merupakan orang yang rasis. -

Bekas Perdana Menteri itu juga menyatakan tidak terkejut dengan tuduhan tersebut ekoran tulisannya dalam blognya Che Det yang bertajuk ‘Kaki Dalam Kasut’ kerana dirinya pernah dicap sebagai ‘pelampau Melayu’ oleh golongan yang sama sebelum beliau menjadi perdana menteri “- (Dalam Utusan Malaysia 28 Julai 2009)

Saya sentiasa mengikuti blog Tun dan saya ada perasaan benci-suka (love-hate) dengan setiap tulisan beliau. Tetapi pandangan yang mengatakan beliau seorang rasis saya kira agak melampau. Saya sangat bersetuju dengan Tun apabila beliau mengatakan mereka yang menuduh beliau rasis adalah sebenar seorang rasis juga.. “What you said is who you are!”

Di Malaysia semua orang adalah rasis. Tiada seorang pun yang tidak rasis kerana setiap orang akan sentiasa memberi kelebihan pada bangsa atau golongan mereka.

Kita juga lihat dalam arena politik, banyak parti yang mengatakan mereka parti pelbagai kaum. Tetapi lihatlah keanggotaan dan perjuangan mereka. DAP atau Gerakan misalnya adalah parti orang Cina, PPP adalah parti India, PAS adalah parti Melayu dan PKR juga parti Melayu. Mungkin adalah dua tiga orang yang bukan bangsa berkenaan dalam parti tetapi mereka selalu disogokan dengan kedudukan supaya parti berkenaan nampak seperti pelbagai kaum.

Parti yang tidak rasis hanyalah parti taperware yang sering aruah emak saya pergi.

What up with Peter?

Raja Petra Kamarudin did not attend court today. It's not like him. I was told early this week that he had left for England but I didn't think Pet was one to run.His lawyer J. Chandra informed judge Rozina Ayob that his client did not turn up in court on the grounds he is on a self-imposed exile from the state for “reasons that are well known.”

..... I hope that Pete (?) is safe. Just wondering why he is hidding? I hope that he'll be a man and be counted! Don't hide behind the so-called self -exiled .....

What's up with all of us? The Kugan lcase.

(Pic. taken from minaq jinggo)

PUCHONG:
Suspected car thief A. Kugan was laid to rest at 5:20pm Wednesday at the Batu 14 cemetery here, more than a week after his death while in police custody had created a controversy.
He was buried in the presence of family members and hundreds of supporters and well-wishers.
It was a day in which emotions were on edge. The drama started in the vicinity of the Universiti Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC) in Petaling Jaya when the Field Reserve Unit (FRU) and the Light Strike Force were deployed, creating a massive jam at about 9:30am.
The units were placed there in anticipation of a large crowd for the procession that would begin at the UMMC mortuary where Kugan’s body was being kept, Petaling Jaya police chief Asst Comm Arjunaidi Mohamed said.
By 11am, that expected large crowd had materialised, even before Kugan’s family arrived at about noon.

This is not good for the country. Everybody must be more responsible in whatever actions that they are going to take due this unfortunate incident.

The POLICE - They will have to come clean and must failrly explain to the rakyat about the death of Kugan ... whatever his offence, he should be given a fair trial. That's his right as a citizen. The police promise that they are going to investigate this case further and we hope that they will be do it in a fair and proffesional manner.

The POLTICIAN - They should not exploit Kugan's death for their own personal agenda. We see politics from both the government and oppositions during the procession and we hope they are sincere about their presence there. They must not instigate the rakyat further to do things that can evolve into something nasty.

The FAMILY - We truly understand their feelings. To lose a member of ones' family is always a sad occasion, what more under this circumstances. They should fight for an independent inquiry to determine fairly the death of the son.

MALAYSIAN - We as the rakyat should not treat this incident politically and racially. It is just an unfortunate event. As rakyat we all need answer, not only for the late Kugans but most importantly for us all. What happen to Kugan can easily happen to anyone of us, no matter who we are or what we are.
