Islam and Politics – How they got Separated?

IQRAQ has been always the key factor for Islamic Civilization progress. The early Muslims accepted the message of Allah in the Qur’an enjoining upon Muslim to read (Iqraq). The verse (the first to be received by the Prophet – an illiterate man) did not specify, much less limit what Muslim should read. 

The early Muslims read and eventually translated all the writings of the Greeks, the Indians and others. Obviously they had to learn these languanges first. Then they followed up by doing their own research. 

And so the early Muslims were learned in the subjects pioneered by these other races and this added to the body of knowledge they had acquired. 

That’s why during the early days of Muslim civilization, you can see most of them especially Ulama’ are master of both worlds. Abu Bakr, Umar Al-Khattab, Usman, Ali, Khalid and many more, all of them are masters of both world. If they didn’t master, how they can rule and expand the Islamic civilization. Master of both worlds – Master of Religious knowledge and Master of non-religious knowledge (science, politics, chemical, etc). That’s why the Islamic training were not separated, that’s why Islam is the way of life. The training of all Muslim / Ummah were based on core world IQRAQ. And that’s why Islam and Politics during that moment were not separated. Because it is part of learning curves.

 

But around the 15^th Century of the Christian era, fatwas were made by Muslim Ulamas that Iqraq or read was intended for reading and studying religion only. From then on, the Muslim scientists, physicians, mathematicians etc stopped their study of these subjects in order to study only religion exclusively. Then the split began, the people who study religion and the people who only study non-religion knowledge, theres no more unison.

If we care to read the history of the Muslims and the Europeans, we would notice that from around the 15th Century of the Christion era when the Muslim rejected what they regarded as non-religious knowledge, the Muslim civilization began to regress/decline. The Europeans, after acquiring the knowledge of the Muslims started to emerge from the Dark Ages and to build the civilisation that we see today. Unfortunately, Muslim historians seem not to have noticed the significance of the fatwas of the 15^thCentury A.D. Even today Muslims seem unwilling to connect this decline of their civilization with the neglect of non-religious knowledge. And the indirect effect the split of Islam and non-religious knowledge like politics, science etc.

We can make an easy comparison between the Ulamas that were born before 13th Century and 16th Century till to date. When you checked out the biographies of the Ulamas that were born on this two different timeframe, you will see a pattern. The Ulamas that were born before 13^th Century have the same training/schooling system. By 6 years old, they mastered the knowledge of tahfiz (The Knowledge of Quran) and after 6 years old they were sent to master the non-religion knowledge which they have interest in like military, medical, engineering, administrative, business and many more and some choose to continue to further their knowledge in religion like detailed Feqah etc. But for the Ulamas that were born after 16^th Century till to date, they only have training on religion knowledge only, no training on non-religion knowledge at all.

 I take very easy example, Umar Al-Khattab R.A. (born before 13^th Century) and Nik Aziz in our country (born after 16^th Century).

As we all know, Umar Al-Khattab are very verse in Religious knowledge, that undeniable. But we can check out his exploit in non-religion sector. I pick one of his success, ADMINISTRATION+POLITICS. Umar is considered as a political genius, as an architect of Islamic Empire. He is best known to built up an efficient administrative structure of the empire, that held together his vast realm. He organized an effective network intelligence, partly a reason for his strong grip on his bureaucracy. His judicial reforms were fairly modern and advance in nature when compared to contemporary systems of his era. 

The government of Umar was more or less a unitary government, where the sovereign political authority was the Caliph. The empire of Umar was divided into provinces and some autonomous territories like in some regions Azerbaijan and Armenia, that had accepted the suzerainty of the Caliphate. The provinces were administered by the provincial governors or Wali. Provinces were further divided into districts, there were about 100 districts in the empire. Each district or main city was under the charge of a junior governor or Wali. The concept is exactly most of the countries today like United Kingdom, Malaysia today whereby the Caliph is like the Prime Minister and the Wali is like the Menteri Besar. 

Bare in mind, Umar Al-Khattab structured this during somewhere 600-700AD where during that the Europeans doesn’t know how to use soap for bath. One of Umar’s most powerful department was his intelligence department of secret services. His agents were every where, in the army, in the bureaucracy and in the enemy land. For the officials of Umar, it was said to be the most fearsome department . Its like CIA/MOSSAD today. These guys are PRO! Umar Al-Khattab R.A is a very smart, well informed and knowledgeable guy.

  

Now lets check out Nik Aziz. He might be well verse in the Religion Knowledge, but I do not know what is his non-religion mastery. In order to run a country, u must know/master the non-religion knowledge too like Umar Al-Khattab R.A did. Hudud is just a law, you still need the palnning, the organization, the resources, the techniques, the brains, the people, the supporting structure and many more to execute it successfully like Umar Al-Khattab R.A did. Now a simple question, can Nik Aziz do it successfully like Umar Al-Khattab?

Islam religion were split form the wordly knowledge (ilmu keduniaan) far before the word secularism were invented.

Another common feature during the Islamic Golden Age was the large number of Muslim polymath scholars before 13th-14th Century, who were known as ”Hakeems”. Some of them are judge or “Qadi”, each of whom contributed to a variety of different fields of both religious and secular learning (non religious). During the Islamic Golden Age (before 13^th-14^th Century), polymath scholars with a wide breadth of knowledge in different fields were more common than scholars who specialized in any single field of learning. These are the lists of those Ulamas, Hakeems and Qadis that were born before 13^th-14^th Century. There are quite famous ;

Al-Biruni, Al-Jahiz, Al-Kindi, Ibn Sina, Al-Idrisi, Ibn Bajjah, Ibn Zuhr, Ibn Tufail, Ibn Rushd, Al-Suyuti, Jabir Ibn Hayyan, Abbas Ibn Firnas, Ibn Al-Haytham, Ibn Al-Nafis, Ibn Khaldun, Al-Khwarizmi, Al-Masudi, Al-Muqaddasi, Nasir Al-Din Al-Tusi

These are the type bunch of guys who deserve the title ”Ulama’ : Pewaris Nabi”. Because Muhammad S.A.W and Al-Quran is all about knowledge. In Quran, have the knowledge about Allah and the non religious one too, especially the functions of oceans, stars, the sun, our body, our human psychology and attitude (elements of greed, kindness and many more), history and many more. Those non religious knowledge can be tool for us, humans to perform better as a khalifah and to put our mind (akal) to good use. With the fusion between the religious and non religious knowledge allows them to execute the Khalifah rulling system and the Law (Hudud and many more) to be very efficient system during that time.

During those days before (13th-14th Century), is not easy to get the title Ulama’, Hakeem, Qadi because you have to master virtually everything (the religious and non religious knowledge). But today, I found it quite easy compared to those days. Today you just need to finish the sekolah pondok, go to Al-Azhar and graduate, after that wear serban and jubah (robes) and then PRESTO!! You are an Ulama already, right? And then they earn the right to have the title “Ulama : Pewaris Nabi”.

History must have its logic and reason. That’s how I look at it. Theres many historical informations out there and it is up to you to determine whether it is right or wrong. That’s why when people said Mustapha Kamal is the sole responsible for the removal of Khalifah system in 1922, I can easily say, all of you are wrong. Theres many things happened before that year. The system have died somewhere in 1828, 1908 its dissolution, 1914 the WW1 events like the Arab Revolt (Lawrence and Arab partnership) and finally 1922.

What Mustapha did was removing the system that have already dead. Why the Khalifah system is already dead, it is because of the Khalifah himself. I didn’t say Mustapha Kamal is a hero, he just did a small share of the Khalifah system collapse. And worse Mustapha out of anger towards Arab people and the Increase of Nationalist spirits of Turkey population during that time, he changed all Arabic language within Quran to Turkish and many more scarf and all. My question is always, why a person like Mustapha Kamal who have been defending the Khilafah system / Ottoman Empire all his life in all fronts, EAST and WEST, suddenly he acts this way towards Islam and Ottoman Monarchy? Did you know, he gave the most inspiring speech to his Turkish / Muslims in the Gallipolli, that speech sounds like an old Muslim Mujahideen speech. Why he changed? Most of the answer lies in the Arab Revolt History, Occupation of Istanbul, WW1 events and Partition of Ottoman Empire (before Balfour Declaration) by the Allied forces.

People especially Muslims only see what happened after 1922 and blame it all on Mustapha, but no one want to know what actually happened before that. Why? Because it points back to the Khalifah and people behind the failures / collapse of Khalifah system. However, I still think what Mustapha did after 1922 still bad for Islamic Civilization. And by the way, the REAL and ACTUAL Khilafah system have already dead along with the last Khalifah Rasyidin death Ali Abi Talib R.A. After that was more on monarchy system. The khalifah was only a symbol for the monarchies. And Ottoman Empire was based on Monarchy and Khilafah was only a symbol as usual. The logic behind the collapse of Khilafah system in Turkey sound like this :

How can a man Mustapha could abolished the system that have been in the heart and minds of the Turkish people for more than 800 years can be done in one day? And why there are no heavy resistance at all from the Turkish Population, they seemed happy, the abolishment were not done by force at all, why?

Because the khilafah systems have failed the people of Turkey and other Mulims and non-Muslims subjects. Can you imagine that the people under system cant even put a food on the table during that time? Does the system failed? NO!! Why? Because the khilafah system have succeed before. Why the system failed during that time? Because the people who run the systems like Khalifahs, Ulamas make it failed with their incompetencies, stupidies, inefficiences, holier than thou attitude (saya lebih alim), always fight each other, “kafir mengkafir” and many more. THIS HISTORICAL FACTS MANY MUSLIMS TODAY DOESNT WANT TO LEARN!!. They prefer to learn about Mustapha Kamal bad side and blame it on Kuffar only! That’s why today, if we want want to implement the Khilafah system today, will it succeed? Or we just leave it to God? Remember, God create this history for us to learn from the mistakes.

Did you know that 130 years between 16^th-17^th Century, the Ottoman Khilafah were influenced or run by women? What in the Gods name khilafah is that!!! How in the world the Ulamas approved this?!!! It simple, because a fatwa / tradition : “A mother’s right is God’s right”. I got the message that in Islam, mum is very important position, but just in the family for God sakes, you aint running / calling the shots in the vast empire!!!

And because of these women influenced and rule have cause the decline of the Ottoman Khilafah in the 18^th Century and let it to dissolution in early 19^th Century. How does it happen? Because most of those Khalifah / Sultan were so intoxicate / distracted with women and many of the Sultan during that time were children / incompetent so the mum run the show. I’m going to give to you a lists of women that run / influence the show of Ottoman Khilafah / Empire :

1. Valide Sultan

2. Hurrem Sultan

3. Mihrimah Sultana

4. Nurbanu Sultana

5. Safiye Sultan

6. Kosem Sultan

7. Hatice

This is the period called the Sultanate of Women. Cant you see the decadence, the wrong doings. The corruptions, the failure, the stupidities, the inefficiences, the suffering, THE SHAME!! Of Ottoman Khilafah between 16^th Century till 1922? If the Ottoman Khilafah were allowed to continue until today I do not know what were allowed to continue until today, I do not know what more SHAME install for us Muslims around the world today.

Somehow, Allah was right (always right, of course). Everything have its hikmah. What Mustapha Kamal did to the Khilafah have its hikmah. One of the first hikmah was during that time Turkey was the Sickman of Europe and today 80 years to be precise, Turkey is on her way to become the economic powerhouse in Europe. And even the Islamic Party that won in Turkey today are strangely have high respect to Mustapha even he did the wrong thing. Another hikmah, so all of us could learn from the mistesk of Ottoman Khilafah, so one day the new khilafah wont do the same.

So thats the basic conclusion that how Islam and Politics (wordly knowledge) got separated.

It was the fatwas or rulings that made exclusive the Iqraq to religious training only for the Ulamas and wordly knowledge became secondary but still it holds almost equal importance.

The misunderstood between category of Fardhu Ain and Frdhu Kifayah. Eventhough Fardhu Ain which are more foucs on the religious and Fardhu Kifayah on the wordly issues, but people misunderstood it between categories and importance. People tend to give more focus on Fardhu Ain and tend to neglect or consider only secondary impratnce of Fardhu Kifayah. Actually both must come together, because both are important in its different way. Both should have more parallel like in the days of Khalifah Rasyidin and the Golden Age of Islam. Theres no which is lesser important. Than the splits begin slowly.

So when all the people give all the focus on Fardhu Ain knowledge and Fardhu Kifayah as secondary options, the professionals and people that masters in Fardhu Kifayah become lesser everyday. Ad the most of the Fardhu Kifayah knowledge like sciences are left behind, and then the Europeans pick it up to build their civilizations today. After the Islamic Civilization like Ottoman start to decline, they finally (after a few hundreds years) figure out that they made mistakes on that decision and start sending their youngsters to Europe to learn back the Fardhu Kifayah knowledges like sciences. But the problem is, the youngster that were sent to Europe just didn’t bring the knowledges back, but the way of thinking too which can be dangerous to Islamic way of thiking. As you can see what happened to Turkey and most of Muslims countries today.

It makes me laugh when people say that secularism is the main cause that split between Islam and Politics, also other wordly knowledges while actually the word secularism was born on 1851 by George Holyoake. As you can see on the 1851, our Islamic world have basically collapsed earlier than that partly because of non-mastery of Fardhu Kifayah knowledges like sciences and others. Why theres on-mastery, it is easy cause of the split which we Muslim have done to ourselves.

Bila DAP kata Tun Mahathir Rasis

Temubual Riz Khan bersama Tun Mahathir

DAP memanggil Tun M rasis tetapi Tun M menyatakan bangsa lain mampu menjadi PM. DAP telah menipu bangsa Cina dan semua bangsa di Malaysia. Ketuanan Melayu sebenarnya adalah propaganda PEMBANGKANG utk memburukkan usaha murni Artikel 153 iaitu merapatkan jurang ekonomi antara semua bangsa. Propaganda Pembangkang iaitu ketuanan melayu dan melabelkan bangsa lain sebagai 2nd class citizen hanya utk menaikkan kebencian bangsa lain terhadap bumiputra. Tetapi sebenarnya Artikel 153lah yang menjadi TUNJANG kepada kebangkitan ekonomi negara kita pada 1990 an!!

Realiti Ketuanan Melayu sebenarnya memang tidak wujud. Realiti ketuanan ialah siapa yang menguasai ekonomi. Contoh kalau kita pekerja dan sesungguhnya kita akan panggil majikan kita Tuan. Di Malaysia SIAPA yang sebenarnya menguasai ekonomi dan menjadi majikan terbesar negara ni? SO sekarang ketuanan siapa ni? DAP telah menggunakan isu ketuanan melayu utk menyorok siapa yang sebenarnya TUAN di negara kita!!. DAP sebenarnya tidak mahu usaha murni merapatkan jurang ekonomi antara semua bangsa ini berjaya.

Org mcm Lim Kit Sianglah yang mewujudkan suasana tidak mempercayai antara satu sama lain. Sekarang bangsa Cina berfikir, bahawa polisi BN hanyalah utk melayu dan menjadikan mereka sebagai 2nd Class Citizen. Dan di sebelah bangsa Melayu, mereka mulai tidak mempercayai kaum CIna kerana melalui perspektif mereka bahawa bangsa Cina ada niat tak baik terhadap mereka. Racism vs Racism. Sangat merbahaya.

Kalau yang berfikiran mcm Riidhuan Tee, Khoo Khay Kim, saya takde masalah, asalkan mereka faham kita, tidak membelakangi kita, tahu asal usul dan memenuhi aspirasi kita. Tapi kalau mcm Lim Kit Siang, Lim Guan Eng semua ni memang aku tolak, sebab mereka ni asingkan semua bangsa.

 Kena ingat Chinese are not dealing with Caucassians, u guys are dealing with Malays, they are far kindar than caucassians. Nothing is impossible. -  REFER LINK

Say No to IMF System!! Say No to Unregulated Capitalism!! SAY NO TO ANWAR IBRAHIM!!!!

Tuan2 yang saya hormati sekelian, minggu depan saya akan fokus kepada Revolusi 2011 yang dok hangat bangkit kat Eropah ni, iaitu menuntut perubahan sistem ekonomi yang telah menekan mereka. Sebab aku tahu Anwar Ibrahim takkan sebut punya pasal revolusi ni sebab kena kat muka dia. Sebenarnya bagus untuk pengetahuan kita rakyat Malaysia jugak, maklumlah IMF cuba tekan kita pada 1997 dengan bantuan Anwar Ibrahim.

"EL PROBLEMA ES EL SISTEMA!!!" - "The problem is with the system!!". Say No to IMF System!

Jangkitan Revolusi ini = Ireland -->United Kingdom-->France-->Belgium-->Italy--->Portugal --->Sepanyol ---->Greece = tak lama lagi seluruh Eropah, kemudian berjangkit benua lain pulak, aku tak sabar berjangkit kat Malaysia je, siap kau Anwar si proksi IMF sorang ni.

Aku dah tgk apa dia cakap, mcm dia cakap pasal US ikut style Malaysia masa krisis ekonomi 2008, masa tu dia kena perli hahaha. Dia cover malula oi, dia dok pusing ja. KENAPA DIA TAK CAKAP MCM PENUNJUK PERASAAN DI EROPAH NI CAKAP?? Sistem ekonomi dunia perlu diubah TERUTAMANYA IMF?? KENAPA DIA TAK CAKAP EKONOMI DUNIA PERLU ADA CAPITAL CONTROL SEPERTI PENUNJUK PERASAAN NI CAKAP??

Semenjak revolusi 2010- 2011 di Eropah ni, Bank Dunia, Ex Director IMF dan bekas reformer kewangan Indonesia iaitu Seri Mulyani, wakil2 Bretton Woods dalam IMF pun dan kebanyakan institusi kewangan dunia dah cakap Tun Mahathir mengambil tindakan tepat pada 1997 iaitu capital control. Yang aku tak dengar sorang je lagi, iaitu Anwar Ibrahim hehehe. KUNCI TUNJUK PERASAAN INI IALAH CAPITAL CONTROL! yang sebelum ni "diharamkan" sistem ekonomi Eropah sblm ni.

Dan revolusi di Eropah 2010-2011 tidak akan jadi modal politik Anwar Ibrahim sebab gerenti dia kena BACKFIRE punya. Sebab Anwar Ibrahim akan dipaksa jilat balik ludah dia haha iaitu Tun Mahathir membuat tindakan tepat paa 1997 macam institusi kewangan antarabangsa lain.
 
Inilah dia Revolusi 2011 di seluruh Eropah yang sebenar yang Anwar Ibrahim tidak berani sebut kepada kita semua. Iaitu Revolusi yang MENUNTUT PERUBAHAN SISTEM EKONOMI DUNIA yang selama ni menekan manusia sejagat terutamanya sistem IMF. Kalau Revolusi 2011 Eropah ni tidak berjaya dikekang di Eropah ia akan berjangkit seluruh dunia.

Jikalau Revolusi 2011 di Eropah ni tidak berjaya dikekang, ia akan berjangkit seluruh dunia dan ia akan turut "COUNTER REVOLUTION" semua temberang IMF di Tanah Arab kononnya dengan mengelarkannya Arab Spring. Boss IMF pun dah kena pecat sebab tekanan Revolusi 2011 ni. Kalau berjangkit Revolusi 2011 yang MENUNTUT PERUBAHAN SISTEM EKONOMI DUNIA kat Malaysia, siap kau Anwar. Sebab kamulah proksi IMF kat sini. Ingat ni Anwar sistem ekonomi yang cuba kamu bawa di Malaysia pada 1997 sudah gagal di Eropah..


Tunggu apa lagi golongan PATRIOT yang berbaju merah tu, solidaritilah dengan kebangkitan Revolusi 2011 yang MENUNTUT PERUBAHAN SISTEM EKONOMI DUNIA. Tulis di T-Shirt kamu semua "EL PROBLEMA ES EL SISTEMA!!!" - "The problem is with the system!!". Say No to IMF System!! SAY NO TO ANWAR IBRAHIM!!

Walaupun Malaysia sudah menentang dan berjaya menolak tekanan dari IMF pada 1997, ini tidak bermakna kita perlu berdiam diri sebab sistem ekonomi masih sama. Sekarang 2011, Revolusi yang menuntut perubahan sistem ekonomi dunia sudah mula bangkit diseluruh Eropah dan ia sedang berjangkit, sudah sampai masa kita turut serta, kita hapuskan proksi2 IMF yang masih ada di Malaysia ini. Tidak mahu lagi sistem ekonomi Anwar yang gagal di Eropah ni diterima di Malaysia. MARI KITA BANGKIT BERSAMA REVOLUSI 2011 yang menuntut perubahan sistem ekonomi dunia!!. SAY NO TO IMF SYSTEM, SAY NO TO ANWAR IBRAHIM! "EL PROBLEMA ES EL SISTEMA!!!".

EL PROBLEMA ES EL SISTEMA!!! EL PROBLEMA ES EL SISTEMA!!! EL PROBLEMA ES EL SISTEMA!!! Say No to IMF System!! Say No to Unregulated Capitalism!! SAY NO TO ANWAR IBRAHIM!!!! - Aku rasa nak menyahut laungan anak2 muda Eropah dan jerit depan rumah Anwar Ibrahim!!
 
Nasib baiklah kita semua rakyat Malaysia tidak dengar cakap Anwar Ibrahim masa 1997 dengan sistem IMFnya. Nasib baiklah Tun Mahathir pecat Anwar Ibrahim. Kalau tak hari ni rakyat Malaysia akan menjerit mcm rakyat2 di Eropah hari ni "EL PROBLEMA ES EL SISTEMA!!!"

Paling best sekali, akibat tekanan daripada tunjuk perasaan di Eropah dan krisis ekonomi diEropah, Seri Mulyani dari World Bank mengatakan tindakan Tun Mahathir pada 1997 ADALAH AMAT TEPAT SEKALI!!! Dunia perlukan Capital Control!!
 
Tunjuk perasaan seluruh Eropah menentang organisasi2 kewangan seperti IMF dan polisi ekonomi liberal tanpa kawalan. Padanlah Anwar Ibrahim tak kecoh pasal demonstrasi kat Eropah, sebab rakyat Eropah dok bangkit menentang boss dia IMF dan polisi ekonomi liberal yang Anwar perjuangkan semenjak 1997;

Padanlah Anwar tak bukak mulut pasal demonstrasi anak muda yang merebak seluruh Eropah hari ni. Sebab kebangkitan menentang sistem yang Anwar cuba bawak di Malaysia pada 1997. Kena kat muka dia nanti.
 
EL PROBLEMA ES EL SISTEMA!!! - "The problem is with the system!!". Laungan kebangkitan anak2 muda di Eropah akan menghantui Anwar Ibrahim. Sebab sistem nilah yang gagal di Eropah hari ni yang Anwar nak bawak masuk kat Malaysia pada 1997 iaitu sistem IMF dan Unregulated Capitalism (Sistem ekonomi yang terlampau liberal).

KENAPA ANWAR GAGAL DALAM EKONOMI?

"Hang ingat aku belajaq Sastera dulu tak reti ekonomi kaa? Mahathir dulu aku yang ajaq dia pasai ekonomi"

Tun Mahathir, Tun Daim, Lee Kuan Yew, Putin, Uthman Affan, Warren Buffett dll semua ni ada dua persamaan, pertama bukan kelulusan ekonomi, kedua sangat berjaya dalam konsep ekonomi mereka. Kenapa mereka ini berjaya walaupun bukan lulusan ekonomi? Istiqamah dalam mempelajari ilmu2 ekonomi dan kerja kuat. KENAPA ANWAR GAGAL DALAM EKONOMI? SEBAB DIA PEMALAS, MASUK OFIS JADI PENASIHAT EKONOMI SELANGOR PUN JARANG2. Baca kat sini.


Ini pujian dari pakar ekonomi World Bank, Ex director IMF, Reformer ekonomi Seri Mulyani di Malaysia baru2 ni kepada Tun Mahathir yang bukan lulusan ekonomi mengenai perlaksanaan Capital Control ;
 
"During the Asian financial crisis between 1997 and 1998, then Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad drew international criticism and alienated foreign investors when he imposed capital and currency controls to block speculators betting against the ringgit. Mahathir called George Soros a "moron" and accused him of attacking the country. The billionaire investor responded by describing Mahathir as a "menace to his own country."
"In 1997-98 , the words 'capital controls' were forbidden and stigmatised," said Sri Mulyani , 48, who joined the World Bank in June and oversees Asia-Pacific and Latin America. "Now the problem of capital is so systematic and huge globally, it has now become universally acceptable to have a certain type of temporary capital controls.."
 
Macam manalah Anwar Ibrahim nak berjaya dalam ekonomi kalau asyik dok buang masa dengan ceramah2 burukkan orang, kelentong orang, tutuh jubo melayu, tutuh awek mcm dalam video tu. Anwar Ibrahim tak sepatutnya buang masa dengan aktiviti2 yang tak berfaedah ni, patut lebih fokus kepada ilmu2 yang penting.
 
Tun Mahathir masuk ofis secara purata 730 pagi setiap hari, lagi awal dari staf2 kerajaan lain. Dan time balik, Tun Mahathir selalunya paling lambat balik. Ramai org kata termasuklah Anwar Ibrahim masa dia government staf dulu, 24 jam ni tak cukup utk Tun Mahathir. Betapa kuatnya Tun Mahathir kerja. Itulah salah satu rahsia kejayaan dia.
