You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time But you can not fool all of the people all of the time"
- Abraham Lincoln 16th President of United States (1809-1885)

Restoring Values and Norms in Employees To Peak Productivity
To excel employees need values and norms they can relate to and believe in. Many, once upon a time, enthusiastic and ambitious employees, after years of working, feel being betrayed, confused, short-changed and apathetic about their jobs.
As a result many organizations have lost the spirit and loyalty of their workforce as well as their competitive edge.
Restoring values and norms in employees offers a powerful vision to reinvigorate and restore the heart and soul of organization. Re-energize employee with a renewed sense of belonging, commitment and connection to their organization.

PEMURNIAAN DALAM IBADAT
Adalah menjadi tugas umat Islam untuk melaksanakan dan memastikan bahawa setiap amalan menepati kehendak syarak.
Dalam usaha untuk memastikan bahawa tiadanya unsur-unsur bi’daah dalam amalan umat Islam, maka kumpulan-kumpulan yang berbalah harus melakukankannya dengan memberikan ilmu dan penerangan kepada umat Islam berkenaan hujah-hujah mereka.
Penulis tidak akan menyentuh mengenai hujah-hujah atau nas-nas yang dibawa oleh kumpulan-kumpulan tersebut kerana kedua-dua mempunyai hujah-hujah yang betul. Cuma penulis ingin menyentuh mengenai kaedah yang sepatutnya dilakukan oleh kedua-dua pihak.
Kumpulan yang mengkritik bahawa terdapat amalan-amalan yang dilakukan oleh kebanyakan umat Islam di Malaysia adalah bi’daah kerana ia tidak pernah diamalkan oleh Nabi S.A.W., mereka wajib menerangkan kepada masyarakat bahawa antara amalan yang dilakukan bukan sesuatu yang wajib dan jika TIDAK MELAKUKANNYA pun tidak mengurangkan amalan fardu mereka. Adalah tidak wajar jika mereka secara terus menghukum bahawa amalan seperti berzikir selepas sembahyang, membaca tahlil arwah, membaca talkin dan membaca yassin di malam Jumaat dan sebagainya sebagai amalan karut dan tidak wajar diamalkan.
Silapnya di sini kerana kebanyakan umat Islam melakukan amal soleh secara ikut-ikutan, maka mereka melakukannya tanpa mengetahui hukum dan kaifiat amalan tersebut. Mereka menyangka bahawa wirid, selawat nabi ketika solat terawih atau doa qunut sebagai sebahagian daripada solat atau yang tidak melaksanakan bacaan talkin serta membuat kenduri tahlil arwah adalah orang yang tak faham agama. Sesiapa yang tidak melakukannya dilabelkan sebagai sesat dan membawa ajaran baru.
Oleh itu ILMU adalah penting dalam melakukan amal soleh. Kita kena tahu setiap hukum dalam setiap amalan iaitu antara yang wajib, sunat, haram, harus dan makruh. Kita juga harus tahu membezakan antara amalan khusus dan sampingan. Juga wajib tahun antara rukun (wajib dilakukan untuk pastikan sah amalan tersebut) dan perkara-perkara sunat.
Melalui ilmu, maka setiap umat Islam akan faham dalam beramal dan tidak akan terpesong daripada landasan syarak dan tidak akan melebalkan umat Islam yang lain yang tidak melakukan sesuatu amalan yang bukan wajib sebagai sesat dan jahil.

Kepada kumpulan yang mempertahankan amalan tersebut, mereka wajar mendidik dan memberikan ilmu pengetahuan kepada masyarakat bahawa amalan-amalan yang tersebut bukanlah WAJIB dan ia adalah suatu amalan yang dibuat untuk menampung kekurangan dalam amalan wajib serta memberikan peluang dan kesempatan tambahan kepada umat Islam melakukan amal soleh. Berdasarkan pengalaman Alim Ulama Nusantara didapati bahawa kebanyakkan umat Islam di rantau ini perlu diaturkan aktiviti dalam amalan soleh mereka. Oleh itu, para alim ulama Nusantara menyelitkan wirid-wirid, tasbih, tahmid dan doa selepas waktu solat fardu serta selawat di antara solat terawih. Begitu juga dianjurkan bacaan Yassin di malam Jumaat. Menurut seorang Ustaz bahawa kalau nak harap individu muslim nak melakukannya secara sendiri-sendiri, memang tak terlaksanalah amalan itu. Ini adalah usaha murni alim ulama dahulu dalam menggalakkan umat Islam melakukan amal soleh.

Non-Muslim Kelantanese unfazed by hudud
By: Nigel Aw
In a Chinese community enclave in the bustling town of Kota Bharu, state capital of the country's conservative Muslim heartland of Kelantan, Mrs Gan, as she would like to be known, tends to her shoe store.
"We normally close by 6pm. At nightfall the streets outside are empty, and it's not safe out there," said Gan, as she wearily eyed customers setting foot into her store.
"Just early this year, the goldsmith's shop was robbed, which is why if hudud law is implemented, people will think twice before they commit robbery," she added, as she pointed across the street.
Asked if punishments such as amputations would be too harsh, the Kelantanese said it would serve as a good deterrent.
"It does sound cruel, but if a snatch thief victim falls down and is badly hurt, it will affect the family deeply... it could be worse."
She dismissed other rules imposed by the PAS state government, such as the local council requiring female workers to wear long-sleeved shirts.
"I don't think it affects us much, even the Chinese here normally dress modestly, perhaps we are more conservative," she said, adding that the rule was not strictly enforced.
The young woman appeared taken aback when told that many non-Muslims in the west coast of the peninsula were opposed to hudud, the punishment for serious crimes in Islamic law or syariah.
"Sometimes I think the newspapers overplay this issue."
'Reality says differently'A block away, dining in a chicken and ‘char siew' (barbeque pork) rice shop was salesperson Hew Fook Choon, who concurred with Gan's view.
Hew, who is originally from Perak and has lived in Terengganu and Kelantan for more than a decade, said he had been similarly fearful about living under PAS rule until he moved to Kota Baru and saw it for himself.
"Before I came to the east coast, this was always in the newspapers... but I've been living here for more than 10 years now. You still see pork being sold, you still see liquor being sold, don't you?"
He said the law only concerns Muslims and has nothing to do with non-Muslims. His native Kelantanese friend at the table, who only wanted to be known as Hong, nodded in agreement.
Asked about MCA president Dr Chua Soi Lek's claim that hudud would impact even non-Muslims and that it would scare away foreign investors and hurt the economy, Hong brushed it aside.
"What difference does it make? There is already not much development from the federal government here," he shrugged.
Asked about his choice if a referendum on hudud was held in Kelantan, Hong replied: "We can support it, we can reject it, it doesn't matter to us."
'No complaints from non-Muslims'Speaking to Malaysiakini in Kota Bharu, state deputy executive councillor in charge of information, science and technology Ahmad Baihaki Atiqullah said there has not been strong opposition to hudud from the local non-Muslim community.
"Thus far in Kelantan, we have not received any clear comment or complaints from non-Muslims, nor protest or letters opposing hudud.
What we see instead are some Muslims opposing it," Ahmad Baihaki said.He dismissed MCA's claim as politicking, reiterating that non-Muslims would not be affected by the law.
Contrary to what is said by the MCA, amputation is the maximum penalty for certain crimes and cannot be arbitrarily meted out.
"It depends on what is stolen, the situation in which something is stolen and where the stolen item is kept.
"Just like civil criminal law, where you determine how many years of jail or fine as punishment, amputation is the maximum penalty under hudud," Ahmad Baihaki said.
Ultimately, he said, the spirit of hudud is to deter crimes and repeat offenders.The Kelantan Hudud Enactment was passed by the PAS state government in 1993, but it has not been enforced as law because an amendment to the federal constitution is required.
