We would like to wish our beloved country Malaysia a Happy 54th anniversary. On this date, 31st of August 1957, Malaya achieved its independence from the British and later on the 16th of September 1963, Sabah and Sarawak joined the formation of new nation called Malaysia. And, we must say we are very proud to be Malaysian. This year, the celebration coincides with the Eid Mubarak, which signifies the great achievement of Muslim who went through all the tests during the holy month of Ramadhan.
One of our display items –– collection of pencils and pens from around the globe – I mean places that I’ve visited, which I called “Write in the name of Allah swt the Mighty Creator”. There are hundreds of pens and pencils of different colors and shapes that I stack and pack together formed a three layers or tiers of pens/pencils – glass tower. It took me more than an hour to ‘arrange’ and weeks of thinking to finally came up with this idea. 
Alhamdullillah. Allah hu Akbar..Allah hu Akbar.. Allah hu Akbar (Praise only to Allah swt and Allah swt is Great)..we came to the end of the holy month of Ramadan. For us - Nana, Afi, M Afiq, M Asri, M Aiman, Afiqah, my brother Abu Bakar aka Chote and myself; this was the first time after 9 years living abroad fulfilling our Ramadan in Sarawak and a very first ever celebrating Eid or Raya in our own house at Lot 6193 Taman Greenville Jalan Promin Jaya 1 Miri Sarawak. Thank you Allah swt for granting us health, wealth and definitely spiritual strength for us to survive this temporary world and has made us what we are today. Alhamdullillah, Allah hu Akbar..Allah hu Akbar.. Allah hu Akbar.With this opportunity, we would like to wish every Muslim around the globe – Kol am wa Antum bil Khair - Minal Aidin Wal Faizin – Eid Mubarak and may Allah swt accept our good deeds that we had done during the holy month of Ramadan. To all our relatives and friends in Egypt, Qatar, Saudi, UAE, UK, USA, Indonesia, the Philippine, Spain, Syria, Jordan, Turkey, Brunei, Sudan, Singapore, Thailand, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh as well as Malaysia: we would like to seek your kind forgiveness for our shortcomings and anything that we did that might had unintentionally hurts your feelings. We are just a mere humble human being. Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri.
The Vice Chairman of the Jawatankuasa Kebajikan Islam MLNG (JKIM), M Hafeiz Jumeren handed over the 'goodies' to the Surau An Nur's Representative during the visit. It was our second visit to Sg Plan. The first one was at the Masjid Sg Plan Lot couple of weeks back. During the first visit we missed 10 recipients who are mainly converts and some relatively poor people.
Jointly organized by Public Affair and JKIM MLNG, this was the second ‘Ziarah Ramadan’ or Ramadan Visit to Masjid, Surah and Islamic Schools around Bintulu division. And, it was my first ever participation in this very noble initiative. The objective is basically to create better rapport and to share our ‘cakes’ with the Muslim communities around Bintulu. This year, we went to 37 places and a total number of around 150 MLNG key personnel, executives, managers and senior managers representing the company participating in this visit. As for myself and few others – Hj Karammudin, Hj Abg Kiprawi went to Masjid Darul Hidayah and Institut Tahfiz Bintulu. I would strongly suggest all organizations to collaborate in organising this noble effort not only during the holy month of Ramadan but to do it throughout the year.
Alhamdullillah, after successfully launched the Road to Lalitul Qadar (R2LQ) campaign a month back, we managed to organize another R2LQ agenda that we called the Eve of Syawal (EoS). The idea is to promote the change of mindset of our people when entering the last 10 days of Ramadhan and subsequently celebrating Eid el Fitr. Apart from that, it was in a way providing opportunities for staff to refresh and clarify their thoughts about the relevance of Ramadan, Syawal, etc. Moderated by Abg Zayd, the EoS was attended by almost 100 staff during the lunch break inside the complex. What we had learnt from the two prominent figures Sheikh Ahamd Mukkarom and his X Student Sheikh Ariffin during the dialogue, were basically Ramadan has made us to become more disciplined person in term of time management, compliance to rules and guidelines, and patience-tolerable; educated us on the importance of managing our ‘nafs’ or desire – since all the devils were jailed, besides our character, it is always our ‘nafs’ or desire that influence us to do bad things; Ramadan had also made us realized how the less fortunate people survived this worldly life and how Allah swt has Blessed us with all the wealth and health for us help each other; Ramadan is a month where Allah swt opened His Jannah or Heaven, Listen to our prayers and repentant, is a month in my language cleansing up our sins. During the last 10 days of Ramadhan, we were supposed to put our maximum efforts and full gear to seek and gain Allah swt’s Blessing, Rahmah and Baraqah that He promised us…and, Allah swt will always fulfill His Promise. However, unfortunately, sad to say, most of us when come to the last phase of Ramadan, all the good efforts or deeds were gradually slowed down and people were started focusing on something that are not even specify in our religious requirement. It is very much different when people (or when the same person) involve in sport activities, business deal, or other worldly routines, when come to last phase of the race, for example, cycling, 100 meters sprint or swimming, everyone will exert their full energy mentally and physically to beat others or at least their own best time or score. O Almighty Allah Rabbul Jalil, grant us the strength and will to observe your rules and requirement for us to smoothly continue our journey before we reach the aimed destination. 
People comes people go.... or rather every living creatures come to an end, when the time comes, no less a second or no more. Nobody really knows when is his turn to depart this temporary world. She was active the night before, but Allah swt loves her so much: around 06:51 hours on 16.8.2011 Nana was soaking with her tears and informed me that our Panda d Hamster has passed away. While controlling my emotion, I went down to her habitrail cage and found out that her body was very cold and stiff as if holding a small Russ fluffy hamster toy. 
As usual, in collaboration with Masjid Assyakirin Bintulu, PETRONAS once again organised this noble event - Majlis Berbuka Puasa PETRONAS 2011 on Friday 12th August 2011. Two Gas & Power Business (GPB) Top Guns - the Executive Vice President of GPB, Datuk Anuar Ahmad and Vice President Global LNG, Adnan Zainal Abidin were presence showing their sincere support.
MLNG were represented by the Senior General Manager, Hj Zakaria Kasah. It was indeed an excellent evening, breaking fast with PETRONAS Top Guns and other prominent people of Bintulu. Taking photo with the SGM and the organising committee members was another opportunity that one would never want to miss.
Thank you PETRONAS. Proud to be one of you. Ramadan 2011
Thank you to Masjid Darul Hidayah, Tanjung Kidurong Bintulu for putting effort in organising this program - Solat Hajat - seeking blessing and help from the Almighty Allah swt.

May ALLAH swt answer our prayer and grant us His Blessing. What is most important is the effort an leave the result to Allah Rabbul Jalil.
Abu Hurairah radiyallah hu anhu (ra) narrated; "Allah's Messenger Prophet Muhammad saw (peace be upon him) said; 'When the month of Ramadan starts, the gates of Jannah (Heaven) are opened and the gates of Jahannam (Hell) are closed, and the shaytan (devils) are chained up."
