Jangan Hilang Rasa Hormat!
Kuliah subuh Fiqh Munakahat tadi ustaz bercakap tentang mengajar akhlak kepada anak-anak, dan memberikan contoh Rasulullah yang menghormati org yg lebih tua. Terfikir tentang senario sekarang termasuk di tempat kerja yang kononnya moden, lebih-lebih lagi dlm "flat organisation" yang semua dilayan sama rata. Ya betul, sistem ini ada kebaikannya. Kurang hierarchy dan menyenangkan kerja dalam banyak aspek.
Yang tak sedapnya, ia juga boleh menghilangkan sifat hormat kepada org yang lebih berumur dalam organisasi tersebut. Itu sebabnya ada intern 20 tahun boleh panggil staff yang berumur 50 tahun dengan nama sahaja. Kononnya semua sama. Ini sebenarnya menunjukkan kekurangan dalam upbringing. Kita boleh berkerja dengan baik tanpa mengorbankan nilai-nilai baik kita sebagai org Islam, khasnya. Tak rugi pun kalau kita hormat mereka yang lebih berumur, tanpa mengira pangkat.
Daripada Anas bin Malik RA, dikatakan bahawa Nabi SAW bersabda:
لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ لَمْ يَرْحَمْ صَغِيرَنَا وَيُوَقِّرْ كَبِيرَنَا
Maksudnya: “Bukanlah daripada kalangan kami orang yang tidak menyayangi orang yang lebih muda daripada kami dan menghormati orang yang lebih berusia daripada kami.” [Riwayat al-Tirmizi (1919)]

Food, Glorious Food!: Restoran Yeo Sekeluarga
A great discovery in Tanjung Kupang! 30 mins from downtown JB, we went thru stretches of dark (and suspect) roads to get here, but it's all worth it. Apparently, it's quite popular as we had to wait for a bit for a table. But the food is top notch! The udang, sotong, fish semua fresh and sedap, Chinese Muslim style. Even the plain nasi goreng is memorable 😁 And yes, we're on top of the selat with views of Forest City and Port Tanjung Pelepas all around. Will be coming back, for sure 👍

Subang Jaya Is Officially A City Today!
Yes, just saw the news. And although I'm not a Selangor native, I have a very soft spot for Subang Jaya. After my SPM, my first job was at Toys R Us, Subang Parade. I remember the first time I walked into Parade. Wahhh, such a nice, big mall. Got water fountains, Parkson and Grandy's (or was it White Castle?).
Then I got into uni and the Matriculation Centre was at... SS15 Subang! Ended up two semesters there. (altho one semester I squatted at the KPP Suny/Buffalo hostels with my friends.)
I actually had the time of my life lah. Parade was always THE lepak place, especially after Solat Jumaat. Played video games at the shop houses. And of course makan and lepak at the famous stalls. Was when I discovered all the Kelantan/Thai type food. Never heard of Nasi Goreng Pattaya, Telur Bistik etc before coming to KL.
And yes, also lepaked at the stalls with one nasi goreng cina and sirap to watch wrestling for 3 hours straight!
To go to KL, we had to take the Sri Jaya bus. No 252 if I'm not mistaken, and we usually got off at Kotaraya. Lupa harga ticket tho.
And decades later, Subang Jaya is still our regular go-to place. Less hectic to buy groceries and have a nice meal at Parade/Empire. USJ too has some cool places, although some have closed down in recent times.
Congrats, Bandaraya Subang Jaya!
