When Stupidity Rules
I received a forwarded e-mail regarding Rosnah Mat Aris' controversial remarks in the TV3 program "Sensasi".
"Check out the video.
1. Bila Awal tanya dia, bila nak berubah sbb skang nie org ckp Rumah kate pegi, Kubo kate mari.. Rosnah Mat Aris : Ko dengar ke kubo tu panggil aku?? Rumah kate pegi sbb nak suruh cari rumah baru.. Kubo kate mari sbb nak suruh melawat kubo supaya sentiasa beringat.
2. Bila Awal tanya pasal kenapa suka cari lelaki muda jadi kawan @ boyfriend @ anak� ikan.. Rosnah Mat Aris : Masa Nabi Muhammad s.a.w nak kawin dengan Saidatina Khadijah dulu umo Nabi brapa? & umo Siti Khadijah brape? Then bila penonton jawab 25 & 44, dengan selambe getiknya dia jawab.. haaa.. tak ke dah nak mampos tu?"
From what I heard in the video, Rosnah said:Rosnah Mat Aris: Kak Ros tak takut. Sebab Kak Ros takde buat yang salah. Salah ke kalau kita bercinta dengan orang muda..tak salah! Zaman Nabi kita bercinta, kahwin dengan Siti Khadijah. Berapa umurnya?
Penonton replied : ....Rosnah Mat Aris: Dengan?
Penonton replied : ....
Rosnah Mat Aris: Tua ke muda tu? Dah nak mampus ke tidak tuh?
The female host laughed.Rosnah Mat Aris: Maknanya semua ini jodoh Allah Ta'ala. Kita tidak bole melawan kuasa dia.
Coverage on the news.
RTM Suspends Rosnah Mat Aris Over Controversial Remarks
KUALA LUMPUR, March 2 (Bernama) -- Veteran actress Rosnah Mat Aris, who caused a nationwide furore over her remarks on a TV3 entertainment programme 'Sensasi', has been suspended from appearing in any radio or television shows over Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) for a year with immediate effect.
Information Minister Datuk Seri Zainuddin Maidin said the decision was made at a special meeting of the Broadcasting Department yesterday after viewing the recorded version of Sensasi and following a lengthy discussion on the words uttered by the artiste during the show.
"After watching the recorded version of the programme, I was shocked to hear the words uttered by Rosnah Mat Aris. Her words were not the norm for the community, especially among the Muslims.
"Her words in the programme which was aired live could and had hurt the feelings of the Muslim community," he told reporters before chairing a post cabinet meeting of the ministry here today.
The TV3 show, which was aired on Jan 30, has since been banned.
Rosnah, who was a guest on Sensasi, had uttered words on the talk show that linked Siti Khadijah, wife of Prophet Muhammad, to the issue of women courting younger men.
Zainuddin said RTM was also acting in concert with the Private and Public Radio and Television Broadcasting Monitoring Coordination Committee in the Ministry of Energy, Water and Communications, which immediately banned the programme.
He said the move should serve as a warning and a lesson to all artistes in the country to be more cautious when making statements especially in programmes which were aired live in any broadcasting stations.
"I will always remind myself and my station (RTM) not to be trapped into sensational issues," he said.
He said viewers who watched the programme would also be able to see the rationale behind RTM's decision to suspend Rosnah from appearing on any of its broadcasting programmes.
Zainuddin said the move was also RTM's obligation as a government-owned broadcasting station to educate and inculcate the good values among the people.
"However, I am sure that not many artistes would make such remarks, especially those uttered by the actress," he said.

Give me another chance, pleads Rosnah
PETALING JAYA: Actress Rosnah Mat Aris is appealing for another chance.
The actress-comedienne, who has been banned from appearing on any of RTM�s radio and television shows for a year after she uttered words which were deemed to be an insult to Prophet Muhammad�s wife, appealed yesterday to Information Minister Datuk Seri Zainuddin Maidin to lift the ban.
The single mother of four children said acting was her rice bowl.
Besides her children, she said, she also has three aged and ailing siblings to support, plus a niece who is still schooling.
�My sister died of cancer a few years ago and I am financially supporting her 14-year-old daughter.
�I also have to support my brother, who is recovering from a stroke, and a sister who has post-natal depression.
�Plus, I have to support my younger sister who is not working,� she said yesterday.
Zainuddin had announced the ban after he and other officers watched the recorded version of the TV3 programme Sensasi, where Rosnah had uttered the offensive words.
Rosnah appealed to the minister to give her a stern warning instead.
She said a producer had just called to cancel the shooting for a drama with the excuse that she was not suitable for the character.
She was also halfway through shooting a drama for RTM.
�I have been making people laugh in dramas and movies but now I am crying and suffering all alone,� she said.
Artistes Association of Malaysia president Datuk Mustapha Maarof said they would hold a meeting on March 19 to decide on the next course of action.
�If the need arises, we may appeal to the ministry as we do not want to see any of our members suffering.
�But once again, I will like to remind all artistes to think before they talk, especially on programmes which are aired live,� he said.
Karyawan Association Malaysia president Freddie Fernandez said he would ask Rosnah if she needed assistance to appeal.
RTM broadcasting director-general Datuk Abdul Rahman Hamid said the ban only involved RTM.
There were other television stations on which her dramas could appear, he added.
�Anyway, it is only a one-year ban,'' he said.
RTM gam Rosnah setahun berkuatkuasa serta-merta
KUALA LUMPUR: Pelakon Rosnah Mat Aris digantung daripada muncul dalam mana-mana program atau rancangan siaran televisyen dan radio, Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) selama setahun berkuatkuasa serta-merta.
Menteri Penerangan Datuk Seri Zainuddin Maidin berkata keputusan itu dibuat oleh Mesyuarat Khas Jabatan Penyiaran semalam setelah menonton rakaman rancangan terbitan sebuah stesen penyiaran swasta, 'Sensasi' serta membincangkan dengan panjang lebar mengenai kata-kata yang diluahkan oleh pelakon itu dalam rancangan tersebut.
"Setelah melihat kembali rakaman program itu saya sendiri terkejut dengan apa yang diucapkan oleh Rosnah Mat Aris.
"Saya mendapati apa yang beliau ucapkan itu adalah sesuatu yang terkeluar daripada norma normal masyarakat terutamanya umat Islam.
"Kata-kata beliau di dalam program yang disiarkan secara langsung itu juga boleh dan telah menyinggung perasaan umat Islam," katanya kepada pemberita sebelum mempengerusikan mesyuarat pascakabinet kementeriannya di sini hari ini.
Zainuddin berkata tindakan itu juga selaras dengan keputusan Jawatankuasa Penyelarasan Pemantauan Siaran Televisyen dan Radio Awam dan Swasta di Kementerian Tenaga, Air dan Komunikasi yang mengarahkan agar rancangan 'Sensasi' itu dihentikan siarannya.
Beliau berkata tindakan ini seharusnya dilihat sebagai satu amaran dan pengajaran kepada semua artis di negara ini untuk lebih berhati-hati ketika membuat sebarang kenyataan terutamanya ketika dalam rancangan berbentuk siaran langsung di mana-mana stesen penyiaran.
"Saya juga sentiasa mengingatkan kepada diri dan stesen saya (RTM) agar tidak terjebak walaupun untuk sesuatu yang sensasi, jika sensasi pun sensasi yang sopan," katanya.
Beliau berkata orang ramai yang turut menyaksikan program tersebut juga akan dapat melihat kewajaran tindakan RTM yang tidak membenarkan pelakon itu muncul di stesen itu.
Beliau berkata tindakan ini merupakan satu tanggungjawab RTM sebagai sebuah badan penyiar milik kerajaan untuk mendidik dan menerapkan nilai-nilai murni kepada masyarakat.
"Bagaimanapun, saya yakin tidak ramai artis yang sanggup untuk mengeluarkan kata-kata seperti mana yang telah diluahkan oleh pelakon terbabit," katanya.
Rancangan 'Sensasi' menjadi kontroversi apabila Rosnah, iaitu salah seorang panel, mengeluarkan kenyataan mengenai status usia isteri Rasulullah, Siti Khadijah yang dianggap telah mencela anggota keluarga Nabi Muhammad.
Kenyataan beliau dalam program yang disiarkan pada 30 Jan lepas itu mendapat pelbagai reaksi dan bantahan atas kenyataan Rosnah yang dianggap menghina Rasulullah dan anggota keluarganya.
Berikutan kontroversi itu, TV3 yang menerbitkan program tersebut bertindak membuat rakaman program sebelum disiarkan, bagaimanapun baru-baru ini Suruhanjaya Komunikasi dan Multimedia Ma
laysia (SKMM) mengarahkan agar program itu dihentikan siarannya. BERNAMA
Kak Ros: Saya terkejut, sedih digam
PETALING JAYA: Rosnah Mat Aris, pelakon popular yang mencetuskan kontroversi melalui program 'Sensasi' TV3, terkejut dan sedih dengan langkah penggantungan yang diambil Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) hari ini.
Beliau, yang membahasakan dirinya Kak Ros, tidak menduga permohonan maafnya yang dibuat berkali-kali sejak menerima bantahan ramai awal bulan lepas masih gagal meyakinkan banyak pihak.
"Kak Ros dah minta maaf dari awal. Tak sangka rupa-rupanya ada pihak-pihak yang belum berpuas hati," katanya kepada mStar Online hari ini, apabila diminta mengulas langkah RTM menggam beliau selama setahun, berkuatkuasa serta-merta.
"Kak Ros rasa tidak adillah. Kalau Kak Ros tidak minta maaf dari awal, memang salah Kak Ros. Tapi Kak Ros awal-awal lagi dah minta maaf."
Menteri Penerangan Datuk Seri Zainuddin Maidin berkata keputusan itu dibuat oleh Mesyuarat Khas Jabatan Penyiaran semalam setelah menonton rakaman terbitan stesen TV swasta itu serta membincangkan dengan panjang lebar mengenai kata-kata yang diluahkan oleh Rosnah dalam rancangan tersebut.
Rosnah berkata beliau tidak sangka akan dilarang muncul di RTM selepas TV3 diarahkan menghentikan program 'Sensasi', sama ada siaran langsung atau rakaman, minggu lepas.
"Kak Ros tak jangka (gam) ini akan berlaku, ingatkan dah selesai bila TV3 diarah hentikan 'Sensasi'," katanya, sambil menegaskan beliau tidak menduga kesilapannya di stesen swasta itu menyebabkan digam pula oleh RTM.
"Kak Ros sedih dengan keputusan ini."
Zainuddin, sewaktu mengumumkan larangan tersebut, berkata keputusan RTM selaras dengan sikap yang diambil oleh Jawatankuasa Penyelarasan Pemantauan Siaran Televisyen dan Radio Awam dan Swasta di Kementerian Tenaga, Air dan Komunikasi yang mengarahkan agar rancangan 'Sensasi' itu dihentikan siarannya.
Surat larangan itu telah disampaikan kepada stesen swasta itu 23 Feb.
Pelakon itu bimbang langkah RTM ini akan menyebabkan stesen-stesen TV swasta mengambil tindakan yang sama.
Rosnah berkata beliau juga berasa sedih mengenangkan pihak-pihak lain yang turut menanggung kesan penggantungan terhadapnya.
"Kak Ros tidak hendak semua pihak (yang ambilnya berlakon) terlibat. Kasihan kepada produksi. Kak Ros ada banyak juga program (yang disiarkan) dengan RTM," tambahnya.
Pemenang anugerah pelakon komedi popular itu berkata beliau mungkin akan membuat rayuan kepada RTM jika diberikan peluang.
"Kalau diberi peluang, memang Kak Ros akan merayu. Memang nak jumpa," katanya, sambil menambah pihak-pihak bertanggungjawab membuat keputusan selalunya tanpa memanggil artis memberikan keterangan atau penjelasan.
Beliau belum dimaklumkan secara rasmi tentang penggantungan ini.
Katanya, perkembangan terbaru itu hanya diketahuinya melalui wartawan yang meliputi isu ini tadi.
Very very stupid remarks from a stupid granny, who ironically said "acting was her rice bowl. Besides her children, she said, she also has three aged and ailing siblings to support, plus a niece who is still schooling. �My sister died of cancer a few years ago and I am financially supporting her 14-year-old daughter. "I also have to support my brother, who is recovering from a stroke, and a sister who has post-natal depression. Plus, I have to support my younger sister who is not working,� she said yesterday."
You wanna compare you sick love story with Siti Khadijah? Who are you to insult Siti Khadijah, when you are nothing compared to her? Look at the color of your hair first for God sake!
If you're that stupid, might as well think first (think very very very hard) before you say anything, dumbass.
I'd say RTM, Astro or whoever should ban her for life. She's not a good actress anyway, in the first place. The drama & film industry won't miss her. We won't miss her.

P.D.A.
P.D.A.
public display of affection.
Well, some would say it's a lower degree of exhibitionism.
yesterday while walking to the KLCC LRT station after work, i saw a couple holding hands, looking very very much in LOVE. i figured that they must be a new couple who just declared their relationship in the past few months. you know those moments? where you can't get your hands off each other? yeah, those moments. oh, did i say that both of them are guys?
now in the LRT. i was standing next to this chinese couple. this time, a guy and a girl. they were also physically affectionate in a very crowded LRT, but i didn't really pay any attention. i didn't even notice where their hands were, but somehow i knew they should've got themselves a room. hehe. suddenly, out of nowhere, a man shouted, "HEY! NO MANNERS!" twice. when i looked behind, i saw a middle-aged chinese guy (i guess he must be in the early 50s), who looked like a headmaster in a Japanese high school. you know what i'm talking about? the ever-strict school principal, with those glasses and scary stare you can see in typical Japanese dramas. anyways, he gave a free lecture to those couple about "manners". he said something like:
"hey, no manners ah? you can't see the sign huh (while pointing to some signs, but i couldn't see "no making out here")? kalau nak peluk pun, jangan la peluk kat sini. no manners you know?"
another middle-aged malay guy, who was standing in front of me seemed to agree. they exchanged views about how corrupted the malaysian teenagers right now. i still remember vividly what the chinese guy said, "tak kisah la kita bangsa apa pun, cina ke, melayu ke, tapi kena la ada manners..."
i said to myself, wow. this is some good stuff. i feel like i should write somethin' about it, you know?
a few months ago, i was lining up to buy movie tickets at Midvalley Megamall. there were 2 innocent-looking girls, probably around 20 years old queuing up in front of me. everything seemed perfectly normal at first. they looked like your average college students who watch movies in their past time. not until they started to hug each other. i thought it was just a friendly hug, but when their hands started to wander around, i knew this was slightly different. hehe.. minutes before i joined the queue, i saw 2 guys holding hands in the food court (same floor with the cinema). from what i saw, they might be a couple too, who knows right?
public display of affection kills. remember Darren Kang Ten Hua? the United Kingdom law student was beaten to death when he tried to show his affection to his significant other. Darren asked his fiancee, Miss Wu Yong Si to say "I LOVE YOU" out loud to him, in a crowded restaurant of Uncle Don's Restaurant in Desa Sri Hartamas. a bunch of guys started to make fun of him, and one thing lead to another. the consequence? one life.
did you guys notice the trend now? seems like more homosexual couples in Malaysia are "getting out of the closet". is that a good thing? don't get me wrong, i don't wanna bring up the issue of homosexuality here. i just wanna stress that in this country, i don't think it's a good idea for these homosexual couples to show their PDA in public. for real. aggression from homophobics? it might happen some day you know?
public display of affection. how much is too much?
what constitutes PDA?
holding hands?
hugging?
kissing?
french kissing?
touching each other's private parts?
who sets the standards?
okay gonna stop here for now. you guys have been great.
you guys take care.
p/s: to noor - your P.D.A. Sequel ;-P

Ego Aside, Will You Marry You?
don't
really have time to write nowadays (it's not that i'm too occupied with
work..huhuhu), but just wanna share this eye-opening article about
MARRIAGE with everyone. worth your time, so please read. word by word.
especially for those who are thinking about marriage. and yes,
commitment phobics.
Assalamaualikum wa rahamtullahi wa barakatuh
& BissmiAllah ar-rahmaan ar-raheem.
One of the first things that most people think about when preparing for or
thinking about marriage, are the characteristics or qualities of the person
they would like to marry. Some people think about how they want their potential
husband or wife to look - perhaps they think about such things as hair and skin
color. Some men may look for a wife who is an excellent cook, and some women
may look for a husband who is very religious.
Many Muslims nowadays look for a wife or husband that is conversant in the
Arabic language, or someone that is at least a student of Arabic. Nonetheless,
most people, Muslims included, seem to go to great lengths to make elaborate
lists, either on paper or in their minds, about all the things they want or
expect from their potential husband or wife. And while this is good and perhaps
a very necessary part of the marriage search, few people ever sit down, and
with the same purposefulness and care, enumerate their own qualities and
characteristics or think about whether they, themselves, are the kind of people
that someone else with just as high expectations or ideals would want to marry.
Think outside of yourself for a moment: If you were someone else, would you marry you?
I don't mean you, as you would like to see yourself weeks, months or even years
from now. Nor do I mean you as you imagine yourself after you have had a chance
to change a few of your bad habits, improve your character, fix yourself up, or
you after you begin to practice your religion more seriously. I mean you, as you are TODAY.
I believe that if some people were to be completely honest with themselves,
they would have to admit that they, themselves, do not possess the kind of
qualities or characteristics they would want in a husband or wife. Perhaps we
all know of someone like this? Possibly a relative, a best friend or maybe this
person is YOU. For two people who are experienced at it, marriage, at best, can
be difficult. It requires patience, diplomacy, perseverance, flexibility,
wisdom, and endurance, just to name a few things.
Does this mean that if someone does not possess ALL of these qualities they
should not get married? No, I don't mean to say this. However, there are people
that I have come across that are in a desperate race to get married; while at
the same time they possess characteristics of selfishness, stubbornness,
inflexibility, insensitivity, and ingratitude. They are overly critical of
other people while at the same time they have difficulty accepting criticism of
themselves. And they have poor communication skills. On top of all of that,
they may be in denial and won't face up to the fact that they have a *few*
personality defects to iron out before getting married. Do any of these
characteristics describe you or someone you know that is looking for a wife or
a husband? Has anyone ever told YOU that you possess any of these
characteristics?
Marriage is so serious an affair that I would dare say that if someone looking
to get married possesses some or all of these qualities, they may be headed for
big trouble. Or, should I say anyone that marries a person like this might be
in very, very big trouble? The question then becomes: Does a person who
possesses these kinds of shortcomings have to wait years before getting
married? I would say the answer is no. Someone like this doesn't have to wait
years to get married. Allah, The Sublime, says in the Quran that He will never
change the condition of a people until they first change what is inside of
them. This"ayat" offers hope - hope of a new tomorrow. Isn't that what most
people want? They want to know that whatever difficulties they are facing
today, a change is on the horizon for tomorrow. However, it does not only offer
hope. It offers hope on a condition. That condition is that we have to take the
first step to recognize that we have a problem and then do something about it.
Keep prayin' to god..Can a man who is a drunk ever become sober unless he recognizes that he has a
problem? And can a man that is insensitive, inflexible, stubborn, ungrateful,
rigid, and selfish ever be a good husband?
Someone who is in denial about their faults will never be able to change their
negative pattern of behavior until they first recognize and ADMIT that they
have a problem. Once you can admit that you have a problem, the next step is to
begin working diligently and consistently on your problem or negative
characteristics.
The key words here are working diligently AND consistently. As any doctor will
tell you, a patient has to be diligent and consistent about taking their
medicine in order to see good results. Couple this prescription that Allah
gives us in the Quran with prayer and strong faith, InsyaAllah, you can
overcome any problem.
If after taking a good long, honest look at yourself in the mirror you cannot honestly say that you would make a good husband or wife in your present condition, then before you pick up the pen to enumerate a list of all the fine qualities you are looking for in a wife or husband, instead, why not list some of the qualities that you need to work on, and then embark on a program to change these bad qualities so that someday soon when Allah does bless you with a good wife or husband you will be worthy of such a person?
After all, isn't the divorce rate high enough already?
Love is a force that uplifts and inspires mankind. Children starve without it.
Men and Women wither and decay when it is lacking. Yet it costs nothing, it's value can not be measured by material standards.
I’m getting married soon… Alhamdulillah =) !!
