I used to think Eid al-Adha was simply about sacrifice.
About Ibrahim.
About Ismail.
About qurban.
But the older I get, the more I realize it was never only about that.
Then one day I came across a line that stayed with me ever since:
Look at this screenshot from a dashcam. I'm sure you have seen the video.
That grey Honda. That motorcycle ahead.
A few seconds after this was taken, that man lost his life.
He had left home that Sunday morning to get something for his kids. That was his whole plan for the day.
But he never made it home.
The driver of that grey car was drunk and high on drugs at the same time. Before noon on a Sunday.
I keep staring at this screenshot because in this frame, everything still looks completely normal. Just another morning on a Malaysian road.
And then it wasn't.
I've been fortunate to travel to many countries over the years.
And one thing I consistently notice, whether it's a developed nation or somewhere like Morocco, you feel enforcement on the roads.
Not just during holidays. Regularly. It becomes part of how you drive.
Here in Malaysia, the laws are actually quite strict on paper (should be even more strict).
Drunk driving carries a minimum RM8,000 fine and 3 years jail. If someone dies, the driver faces up to 15 years in prison.
I'm not saying enforcement isn't happening. I think it is. But not in the way people feel it in their everyday lives.
And that's the issue...
His kids are still waiting for him to come home.
To everyone in a position to change this, please make enforcement something people feel every single day.
Salam Takziah to the family.
Dear @HASiLMalaysia. Harap untuk tahun 2026 ni kaji baliklah pelepasan individu untuk cukai. Sampai bila pelepasan untuk anak-anak kekal RM 2000 seorang untuk setahun. Tak relevan dah RM 2000 tu. KWSP pun RM 4000 je. M40 ke atas tersepit jugak walaupun gaji banyak sikit.
@chairmanGLC@HASiLMalaysia Satu lagi cadangan, sediakan ruang attachment document, senang nak upload document... Apa ke bangang nak odit barang 2,3,4 tahun lepas.. Menyusahkan betullah kena trace resit balik
Does this Rabbi know that Israel was born out of terrorism and terrorist attacks by individuals and groups who went on to become Prime Ministers, Presidents and the actual army?
Israel should never have been given a state.
Salam Sejahtera, Tuan. Terima kasih atas keprihatinan terhadap isu yang dibangkitkan.
Merujuk kepada situasi pada 30 Jun 2025 di Klinik Pakar Ortopedik, Hospital Sungai Buloh, pihak kami telah mendapatkan maklumat lanjut daripada pihak hospital. Berdasarkan semakan:
1. Seramai 158 pesakit hadir pada hari tersebut.
2. Klinik dikendalikan oleh 3 Pakar dan 3 Pegawai Perubatan, mengikut jadual dan kapasiti sedia ada.
Anggaran kehadiran lebih 300 orang seperti yang tular turut merangkumi ahli keluarga atau penjaga yang menemani pesakit. Ini adalah amalan biasa di fasiliti kesihatan awam, khususnya bagi warga emas dan kanak-kanak.
Kami memahami kesulitan yang dihadapi pesakit dan keluarga, terutama berkaitan masa menunggu. KKM sedar beban kes di hospital rujukan seperti HSgB adalah tinggi dan usaha penambahbaikan sedang dijalankan secara berterusan untuk memperbaiki aliran pesakit.
