WW: Week 34

Hit the wife and was asked to read more!

Salam,

I found this interesting news:

Wife-hitter sentenced to reading

Husband will take a test later to see what he has learned about relating

A Saudi national found guilty of hitting his wife has been sentenced to reading two books that explain relations between spouses in Islam. He will later sit for a test on what he learned from the books.

The husband was also told to memorise five of the 30 parts of the Quran, and 100 sayings by Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), Saudi Arabic daily Al Madinah reported Monday.

The husband was also ordered by a court in the Red Sea resort of Jeddah to give his wife 7,000 riyals (Dh6,854) and to make sure to preserve women's rights.

The wife had complained to the security authorities after her husband hit her during an argument when she told him he should go to hospital to visit his cousin while she sees her family.

The husband reportedly became angry over her wish to go out, hit her and caused her bruises.

My comment:

That is a good sentence since most sentences are mainly to punish but not really to make the doer realize his mistakes. I wish we can have this kind of sentence to teach instead of punishing. Most of the time, when somebody did something wrong it can be caused by his ignorance. Ignorance is not a bliss here as it might lead to serious effects. 

What say you?

 

 

Happy mode!

Salam,

I just want to share a good news that I just received from my aunt (actually she's my uncle's wife).  My cousin has received an offer to further her study in TESL in UiTM. I'm so happy for her because she called me to get some advice before she attended the test and interview. Another reason is she has the same interest like mine and I can always help her in the her study as well. She's like a sister to me. I used to stay at her house during weekends when I was in university. My uncle's house (Ayoh Man) used to be my second house and his kids were very closed to me.

I hope that Nailah (my cousin) will study hard and become a successful English teacher in the future. I know she has got what it takes and of course the passion too.

P/S: my own youngest sister, Amalin has received an offer too but she is still waiting for another offer before she can make up her mind.

Just want to share these cartoon strips that I found through FB. Have a happy and fruitful weekend.

Kenapalah nak makan duit haram? (BM entry)

Salam,

Tak pernah lagi asyik buat entry dlm BM je berturut2. Hr ni nak pecahkan tradisi sbb dlm perjalanan balik dari kerja tadi ada kawan bagitahu apa yang terjadi di tempat kerja bulan lepas. Kira mmgla kami mengumpat (aah dah buat dosa di hari Jumaat-huhu).

Ceritanya adala beberapa orang guru di tempat kami (pusat yg menawarkan kursus BI) yang ambil mudah je bila mengajar. Diaorg ni bila masuk kelas biasanya tak mengajar sgt. Apa yang dibuat tak tahula. Tapi bila dah hampir dgn periksa akhir bulan, diaorg ni akan membocorkan tajuk2 karangan yang akan keluar. Siap bg idea atau bagi ayat2 yang boleh digunakan. Bila ada guru lain (kita namakan guru Y) yang perasan perbuatan diaorg ni, guru Y ni mengadu pada bos. Jadi bos ambil tindakan menukar soalan2 periksa di saat-saat akhir. Bila dioarg nampak kertas soalan yg ditukar, mulalah diaorg ni menggelabah. Yelah diaorg takut pelajar-pelajar diaorg tak tahu macammana nak buat karangan. Bila diaorg masuk kelas, sepatutnya diaorg bagi kertas2 periksa terus pada pelajar. Tapi apa yang dibuat? Diaorg bincangkan pulak soalan2 tu dan bagi idea lagi pelajar2 supaya diaorg tahu apa yang patut ditulis. Guru Y sekali lagi tahu tindakan tidak professional dioarg tu. Guru Y sekali lagi mengadu pada bos dan memberitahu yang dia malu nak mengaku guru2 tadi rakan sekerja disebabkan perbuatan tidak professional mereka.

Kisah tadi bukanla kisah benar yang pertama kali saya lihat dalam profesion sebagai seorang guru. Tak kira di mana pun saya mengajar ada sahaja guru-guru yang mencemarkan pekerjaan seorang guru ni. Mereka tak sedar yang perbuatan mereka tu akan menyebabkan mereka makan gaji buta dan duit gaji mereka akan jadi duit haram. Bukan saya nak mendabik dada mengatakan saya guru yang baikla sangat. Tapi saya takut kalau tak amanah dalam bekerja. Kalau dah kita diamanahkan untuk mengajar, kenalah ajar betul2. Barulah berkat duit gaji yang diterima.

Benda ni bukan dalam perguruan je. Dalam pekerjaan lain pun sama. Isu yang masih hangat sekarang pasal polis pukul orang masa perhimpunan BERSIH 3.0 tu pun sama. Saya rasa memang ada segelintir yang bertindak ganas dan orang ramai pun ada yang bertindak serupa. Kalau semua orang tu amanah, tak akan terjadi perkara-perkara yang tidak diingini. Jangan kerana segelintir yang kurang professional, kita katakan semua pun bersikap begitu. Saya percaya masih ramai yang amanak dalam menjalankan tanggungjawab masing-masing kan tak kiralah siapa pun anda.

Belajarlah..................... (BM entry)

Salam,

Saya terjumpa kata2 ni yang betul2 mengingatkan kita bila kita selalu mengeluh tentang orang lain. Kita selalu mengharapkan orang lain berbuat baik pada kita tapi kita sendiri bagaimana? Kita selalu mengharapkan ada yang akan suka pada kita tapi kita sendiri pun memilih hanya orang-orang yang kita suka. Jika nak berubah, lebih baik kita mulakan dulu perubahan tu. Betul tak?
