Our History, Kedah and Malacca

Assalamualaikum and Peace be upon all of you
Welcome to my blog

It is only an aid ship carrying passenger to Palestine to give a humanitarian help to the Palestinian. But somehow, it’s change into a crime that deserves death.

The news about a Turkish Ship been attacked by the Israelis Forces angered many people around the world. What more important is, the fate of our Malaysian on board the ship still left unknown. Among include in the list are Malaysian media crew from Astro Awanis and Malaysian Parliamentary Member, Mohd Nizar Zakaria, 41. This attack has been condemned by the Malaysian government.


Siamese Kedah Pasai Ma and Sultanate of Malacca


The Radin’s Blog proudly present the new topic for this month forward, the story of Malaysian former great empires, The Empire of Siamese Kedah and the Sultanate of Malacca. Actually, the Malaysian was taught that…

Our great fore-fathers had established the Great Sultanate of Malacca in 1400 and Parameswara was the first King of Malacca. Later, Parameswara convert into Islam and change its name to Raja Iskandar Shah. Later, Malacca reached its golden age during the reign of Sultan Mansur Shah who married with Princess Hang Li Po, Princess of the Ming’s Emperor. The crown of Malacca prospers with the help of famous Bendahara (Advisor) Tun Perak and legendary Admiral (Laksamana) Hang Tuah. Malacca falls due to Portugese invasion in 1511 and the Port of Malacca been change into the citadel of A Famosa.

The remainder of A Famosa today, a small gate name Porta de Santiago

This is the history that we learned by many historian. But, they were wrong. According to history, Parameswara is not a person name, it is a title given to the King. Just like Pharaoh in Egypt, Emperor in Rome and Tsar in Russia, Parameswara is the title for the King of Malacca. The consort to Parameswara is styled as Permaisuri.

PS : Present, only Permaisuri title are still been used by the royal family.

Then again, many of our history were actually been change in the past by some unknown individual. Thus, the histories that we learned today are nothing more than a mere fairy tale. The names of a person exist but they exist in the wrong period of time. Namely, Princess Hang Li Po, Hang Tuah, Hang Jebat, Hang Lekir and many more.

PS : Hang Tuah for example, a famous and legendary Admiral (Laksamana) of Malacca, but where did he actually died? Where is his tomb? Nobody knows.

Never fear because Malacca was actually exists. But the real history is differs compared to what we learned today.

PS : We learned that Malacca gets its name by a name of a tree. Was it really true?

When the Sultanate of Malacca fall in 1511, the portuguese built a fort name A Famosa. Another confusion here. We learned that the name of word A Famosa means "The Famous".

PS : If you search in the dictionary, the word A FAMOSA bring no meaning in Portuguese language. (Famosa is not a Portuguese word). If really is A Famosa is "The Famous" in Portuguese, the fort will be named as O FAMOSO. So, where is Famosa came from?

Tune in for this exciting history documentary post in Radin’s Blog. Until next time.

19 Deaths! I repeat.. 19 Deaths!!

Turkish ship, Mavi Marmara was reported been attacked by Israelis navy. Also on board the aid ship are two Malaysian Ashwad Ismail, 25 and Shamsul Kamal Latip,38. Both of them are media crew and cameraman of Astro Awani. As a result of the attack, 19 were killed while other 26 were injured. The fate of Malaysian on board the ship still left unknown.

PS :-
Can anyone please justify the relevant of their action? It is not a war ship, it is an aid ship. What kind of action is this!?

To Puncak Alam

Assalamualaikum and Peace be upon all of you.
Welcome to my blog.

Hye guys, we meet again. This month probably is the only month where I constantly updated my story. Puncak Alam literally means “The top of the World”. It is a place where the new UiTM campus is located. I can consider my brother as lucky because the campus is indeed beautiful. (My reaction? Happy of course. Huhu..)

yahoo.. i'm here..

The beauty of the campus.

UiTM Puncak Alam currently served 3 faculties in the campus. Previously, the foundation course is located at Shah Alam campus. This is the first batch to study here. I think the only problem here is the registration process. The campus clearly can’t support 3000 student registration in a day. Really crowded.

Sharia Court rejected Elia Suhana preliminary objection

Elia Suhana was seen wiping away tears after the decision was made by the Sharia Court to reject a preliminary objection by the Sultan of Kelantan’s second wife, Cik Puan Elia Suhana to strike off an application to confirm the talak tiga (irrevocable divorce) declaration. The filing of talak tiga divorce by Sultan of Kelantan against his second wife, Elia Suhana is made by Datin Nik Rorhana Wan Abdul Rahman.

Sharia Judge Abdullah Man said filing of the application by Datin Nik Rorhana on March 9 was in accordance with Islamic Law. The judge also said, it is inappropriate for the plaintiff to take the matter to court as being the State Head of Religion, the Sultan of Kelantan was protected by the state constitution.

During the court sitting, Datin Nik Rorhana also present in court. The sultan was alleged to have made the divorce declaration when he was treated at Mount Elizabeth Hospital, Singapore on Feb 12 in front of several witnesses including Nik Rorhana.

The Persona April 2010

Radin’s Blog today proudly present the new topic for the blog. The Persona topic is mainly to discuss the popular personality that the visitor, follower and blogwalker see during their visits in the blog. The member of a royal family is indeed a celebrity in their own way.

From my record, the month of April is a sleepy and quiet month for Radin’s Blog. Not much visitor coming to visits. But, at the end of the month, there is some kind of ‘electrical surges’ occur to my number of visitor. It is increasing rapidly. Most of the visitors in that week are from USA where most of them searching for Manohara Odelia Pinot.


MANOHARA ODELIA PINOT

Manohara Odelia Pinot is a wife to Kelantanese Prince, Tengku Muhammad Fakhry. Born in 1992, she is a daughter to Daisy Fajarina, a woman with Bugis accents. Prior to her marriage, she was a teenage model. She gets the media attention in mid 2009 when she succeed in her attempt to return to Indonesia and claimed that she been tortured and abused by her husband.

Marriage with Tengku Fakhry

On 26th August 2008, Manohara get married with Tengku Muhammad Fakhry Petra, the Tengku Temenggung of Kelantan who is the third in line to the Kelantanese throne. Upon her marriage, she is legally styled as Her Highness Cik Puan Temenggung of Kelantan.

Public Appearance

It is undeniable that she is not widely known by the Malaysian especially because the public usually tends to know the King, Queen, Crown Prince and Crown Princess of their royal family members. Usually, the wife to other members of the royal family did not get wide attention from the media. Nevertheless, due to the absent of the Crown Princess of Kelantan position, she gets a public appearances for numbers of occasions.

(this is probably her last public appearance before she back to Indonesia)

Looking at the current circumstances, we can actually have a brief idea what is exactly happens inside the palace wall. Well, let us see how it is going to be unfolded.

Back Home

Assalamualaikum and Peace be upon all of you.
Welcome to my blog.

There is no place like home. Yes, finally I come back to Johor Bahru. I just finished my Jobcamp Training at Kelana Jaya for almost 2 months. I don’t know whether I can get a job in this period of time, so it’s better for me to just back to Johor Bahru for a while (for a month, or two.. maybe three..). Two months actually a short period. But, this two months really is interesting and at the same time, tiring. I was placed in a VGA Controller group and the design is a success. Well, all four groups actually able to finished their assignment in the time given, so..

Symmid Jobcamp batch 7

Congratulation to All!!

For about a week or two before I finished the job camp, I have a deep conversation with Fiq, my junior from UMP. We have agreed to hang out together starting from 17th May. At first, the location is Kuala Lumpur. There are so much to do and so much to see in this city. After a few discussion, Johor Bahru it is. City Square, Plaza Kotaraya, Jusco Tebrau, Plaza Angsana, Skudai Parade and not to mention Danga Mall.. well.. we just have to plan it right.


Later, we are going into the cinema to see a movie, Robin Hood. Why we choose it? I don’t know.. haha..
