Sometimes when we focus too much on what we do instead of why we do it, we tend to forget who deserve the rightful appreciation. We forget the silver linings. We forget the HIKMAH..

Crisis in Egypt...
Salam,
This is my first writing in 2011. And this year begins with sad news here and there. The main one (which is the subject of this blog) is the crisis in Egypt. Everytime I listen to the news, the condition gets worse and worse. My condolence to our students over there.
I may not know exactly what is going on over there or experience similar conditions but I understand very well the feelings of being in a country which you do not belong in the first place but had to go through the unrests and fears. When I was studying in UK 17 years ago, it was during the heightened of the IRA movement. There were bomb threats everywhere. The town I stayed was once under curfew when the IRA threatened to bomb the train station (which by the way, is just two blocks away from my rented house!! Imagine that) At that point of time, all I think was about my family and if I got to see them again. We were told to stay in the house. My housemate and I was lucky because we did stock up our food supplies prior to the curfew. 
So we did not face with any food crisis. But it was still chilly as we thought of our safety. Of course there were rumours flying around about attacks and stuff. Worse still, the news did spread to Malaysia and obviously my parents were shocked. Luckily the phone line was not cut. So we get to call them and assured them that we were okay. There were police and army everywhere. Eventually the authority managed to handle the situation and we went back to the our usual routine after they assured us that it was finally safe. My situation at that time is nothing compared to what the students in Egypt are facing right now. From various sources, despite the assurance, things are not getting better. There are no rightful authority which will handle the situation. I can understand the worries of the parents. I can undertand the fear of the students at this very moment. 
Although the evacuation plan are commendable, it is not easy to get 11,000 plus students out from an almost crippled situation. I can also undertsand the predicament of the authorities. But what I don't understand is how at this very moment, there are people posting on blogs about the politics behind the current situation ( I mean local wise). There are comments on the reason behind the so-called delay of the evacuation plan as being the authorities (some say government of the day) failure to act faster and quicker as they should. There were also counter comments on the authorities commendable effort to deploy every assistance they could. My comment on the banter of comments is "Wake up! This is not about any political party. This is about the safety of 11,000 Malaysians in Egypt. This is about the worries of the parents and family of the 11,000 Malaysians! It doesn't matter whose fault or what should have happen. The important thing is to get them out from there. The important thing is to come together to do so. This is the time when we can set back our differences and step up to assist the whole ordeal. Please!!!"
