Dalang penculikan Raisyah adalah orang dalam

Friday, August 24th, 2007

Akhirnya, setelah lebih dari seminggu, Raisya berhasil di temukan oleh polisi. Raisya di culik oleh 5 orang dalam perjalan pulang dari sekolah.

Seperti yang saya duga, pasti ada keterlibatan orang dalam.

Dari JakartaPost

The man, who is thought to have masterminded the abduction, is married to the religious teacher of Raisyah’s mother.

Selamat kepada orang tua Raisya, telah berhasil mendapatkan Raisya dalam keadaan selamat.

Very sad, the Hubbard’s family loosing two sons in Iraq

Friday, August 24th, 2007

Will war bring happiness?

Will war bring prosperity?

Not to this Hubbard’s family. They loose their son three years ago, now they loosing another one. Gladly the third son now going home and will not serve the military anymore. Make me remember the “Saving Private Ryan” movie

Nathan was among 14 killed on Wednesday when their Blackhawk helicopter crashed. It comes three years after Nathan’s brother, jared, was killed by a roadside bomb. Flags at city buildings across Clovis are flying at half-staff from now until sunset on the day of Nathan Hubbard’s burial.

The devastation the family of Nathan Hubbard is feeling is really unimagineable. Jeff and Peggy Hubbard are in seclusion; mourning now a second son, 21 year old Nathan Hubbard. Wednesday night, family members found out Nathan’s older brother, Jason, was on the same mission with his younger brother- when the helicopter Nathan was on went down.

Family spokesperson Tim Rolen says, “He was in another helicopter on the same mission. The men in that helicopter were required to be the rescue attempt on the downed helicopter. There’s that pain of knowing that a brother was so close to the death of his younger brother.”

I will say that the Hubbard’s family serve their country more than enough.

Does muslim allowed to sing?

Saturday, August 18th, 2007

The title of this post may be funny, why, does somebody else says that muslim not allowed to sing?

This blog not about muslim or Islam, but when someone ask me about this in one of internet forum, it hit me.

Why someone else saying that singing is not allowed in Islam? They also bring a few hadiths to prove it.

After a few questions and search in google, I found out that there are muslim that believe that singing is not allowed, but there are others who believe that singing is allowed.

This is a good reading about singing in Islam, specially the last one about the word ‘Haram’.

We do have differences in Islam, just like Syah and Sunni, Muhammadiyah and NU. But after all, we all Muslim, we all brothers.

Proud to be Indonesian

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

This morning I saw the entertainment news that Indonesia Group Band Samson, releasing a new video clip called “For You”.

The song “For You” based on the entertainment news, is dedicated for Indonesian Forces that will be going on peace mission to Libanon. Where parents of the soldiers, Including The Indonesian President (one of the soldier is son of Indonesian President) say goodbye to the soldiers.

This should be a very good Video Clip.

In the entertainment news, The Samson repeatedly say that we should be proud to be Indonesian.

I agree. Totally agree.

We should be proud to be Indonesian.

In 2002, The Indonesian Band “Cokelat” already released a stunning song called Bendera. The song becoming a very big hits, and now it being sang again by the 2007 Indonesian Idol.

Quote from Bendera.

Merah Putih teruslah kau berkibar

Di ujung tiang tertinggi, di Indonesia ku ini

Merah Putih teruslah kau berkibar

Di ujung tiang tertinggi, di Indonesia ku ini

Merah Putih teruslah kau berkibar

Ku akan slalu menjagamu ….. oh oh oh

I’m proud to be Indonesian.

Keep Virgin, Be Healthy

Wednesday, August 8th, 2007

Laurier Cares launch a new commercial break for television in Indonesia, the topic is Keep Virgin, Be Healthy.

This is the best commercial break ever.

The commercial break show, a girl calling her boy friend, crying, say that her got pregnant, while holding a pregnancy test in her hand.

Rather than commercial break from Fiesta Condom, that suggest free sex is OK as long as you use protection. The Fiesta Condom commercial break is targeting for teenager because it show more frequently in MTV Indonesia (Global TV).

Laurier make a step further, just don’t do it.

The statistic for free sex in youth in Indonesia is shocking. That up to 30% of teenager in Indonesia is already doing free sex (hanyawanita.com).

Laurier also make a road show to give teenager more education about this. This is one of report of the show from Bandung.

Keep Virgin, Be Healthy is a good campaign.

Keep the good works Laurier. If many company more responsible as you, this world is going to be a better world.
