JACKAREA DAWSON

It was in 1988, when I first entered my Political Science class taught by Prof Stephen at West Texas A&M (formerly known as West Texas State University). The Texan born professor asked my name. He had a difficulty in pronouncing my full name. Then, out of the blue I said to him, "Prof, call me Jackarea Dawson". From that occassion in the next three years, I had been using that name in the university.

IMP...Islamic Manufacturing Practice

- December 03, 2011

On 29 Nov., when my former boss called me whether I was free to joint his short visit to Sidratul Enterprise at Kuala Kangsar Perak, I gave him the positive respond. I had served YB Dato Seri Hj Nasir Tun Hj Sakaran, Sabah's Minister, for almost nine years. I had gained many important experiences that not many ordinary people can match up. It was my faith and still it is my faith to be loyal to him as long as he needs my presence. I still do the speech for him at the time where I am sleeping over the pile of journals. Sidratul Enterprise is located at Chenderoh. It is a halal manufacturing company based on herb's products. Led by Ust Abdul Rahman Tajuddin, the company has grown popular and become the manufacturer of many herb-based products in Malaysia. To name a few, Qaseh a product which is labelled under popular Ustazah Siti Nor Bahiyah (perhaps the name is misspelled) is manufactured here. During the visit, Ust Abdul Rahman explained the whole process. It was a very fruitfu...

Legalize the Illegal Deal Under the Roof of The Legal

- July 30, 2011

Few weeks ago, I read a post in facebook about a cost of photostating that charge RM0.50 per piece of paper. Surprisingly, it happens in the government compound, in particular, the immigration department at Komplek Putrajaya, Kota Kinabalu. I thought it is fair for the operator to charge such cost. However, the moment of truth prevails today. I was renewing my passport at the complex. I need to submit a passport size photo and a copy of my MYKAD.

To photostate an IC, one has to pay RM 1.00 since each side of the IC costs RM0.50. Well...to capitalist, it is business. However, to people it can be classified as "daylight robbery." Does the office feel comfortable with the cost being charged? Hence, putting the motto, "government care" in jeopardy? Academically, this is one of...
