Webpage ini mengutuk keras keganasan Israel ke atas Rakyat Palastin. Bagaimana Amerika boleh berdiam diri sedangkan Israel (yang sering di bantu  oleh Amerika ) kini sibuk membesarkan wilayah mereka tatkala Amerika tercekik dengan kegawatan ekonomi.  Sepertinya rakan anda yang selalu anda pinjam kan duit atau beri duit, tapi sibuk berbelanja dan bermewah-mewah ketika anda dilanda masalah kewangan. Anda di dalam kesusahan..sedikit pun tidak di peduli.

Lakukan tugas Kita… Boikot Israel dan sekutunya… maklumat lanjut disini www.inminds.co.uk

The moon and the sun taking turns is just another event,

Why should I then repent?

The Quran You have sent?

Do i look like I do care what it meant!

 

Ya Allah…

What a Sinner I am.. What a sinner I am.

Why should I be so arrogant to seek your forgiveness?…

When I did repent, You..as The Most Merciful will surely forgive me.

Where should I run if I reiterating my sin???

Who will forgive me then?.. no man will.. no man will….

How will I continue another day ??

Ya Allah..

I seek Your forgiveness as You are The Forgiver (Al-Ghaffar)

I seek Your guidence as You are The Guider (Al-Hadii)

 

Ya Allah…

I can not live as a sinner…..I do not want to die as a sinner….

I want to be a winner….. in this life and hereafter a winner…

I shall let Quran strengthen my inner…..

I shall be a complete believer…the true believer…

Ya Allah… please guide me forever….

 

 

 

 

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

“ Who created me, and it is He Who guides me; (78)

 “Who gives me food and drink (79)

 “And when I am ill, it is He Who cures me; (80)

 “Who will cause me to die, and then to live (again); (81)

 “And Who, I hope will forgive me my faults on the Day of Judgment… (82)

 O my Lord! Bestow wisdom on me, and join me with the righteous; (83)

Gloomy times ahead for world economy

07-07-2008 10:26:48 AM 

THOSE who had harboured some hope that the global financial crisis is over and that the world economy would suffer a mere hiccup saw these hopes dashed last week.

 

The news is bad. The financial problems besetting banks and investment institutions are still expressing themselves with no end in sight.

 

Add to this is a decline of stock markets to official “bear” status. The real economy of jobs and growth is being hit harder.

 

And on top of all these is the rise of inflation, spurred by the oil price that has hit a high of US$145 (RM475) per barrel, and the onward march of food prices.

 

The inflation factor affects ordinary people more widely than anything else. Only the rich and middle classes can afford to invest in shares. But rising prices of food, petrol and bus fares hit everyone, especially the poorer people since they spend more of their income than the well-to-do.

 

Inflation is also most inconvenient to policy makers. Inflation deprives them of the ability to use their most powerful weapon (changes in interest rates) to counter the other two problems – recession and financial market chaos.

 

Until recently, American central bankers were lowering interest rates in many steps to boost the economy. Lower interest rates make it cheaper for borrowers to service their loans, for consumers to buy things and for companies to invest.

 

Each time the interest rate was cut by the US Federal Reserve, this would be treated as good news, and the stock market in the US and elsewhere would rise, at least for a few days, before more bad news about a bank in trouble or more job losses led to more market decline.

 

But the lowering of interest rates also had adverse effects. It had fuelled the credit boom and the asset price bubbles (in houses and equities) that had been a major part of the build up to the crisis.

 

It also helped spur on speculators in search of higher yield to find more lucrative profits in the oil and commodity markets, which in turn contributed to the recent fast rise in oil and food prices.

 

Now, with interest rates already so low, there is only a little more of lowering that the US Fed Reserve can do.

 

But even that may not be possible. This is because inflation is once again taking over as a priority problem. The usual way to fight inflation is to raise the interest rate.

 

Last Thursday, the European Central Bank raised the main interest rate by 0.25% to 4.25%, the highest level in seven years. This was a few days after data showed European inflation had hit 4%, the highest since the euro was launched in 1999.

 

Up to a few weeks ago, there was expectation that as recession deepens, governments would counter this by reducing interest rates. Now they are discouraged from doing this because of inflation. And instead we can expect interest rates to go up to keep in step with the rising prices.

 

This puts policy makers in a bind, because a rise in interest rates is about the worst thing that can happen during a recession, as it dampens consumer spending and makes it more costly to repay loans and finance new investments, thus adding to the gloom.

 

 

The recession is biting and will bite even more. Last week’s news included the loss of another 62,000 jobs in the US in June, with wages stagnating. Britain’s economy is also sinking, with the price of houses falling for eight months (in June, to 6% below a year ago on average), and the big retail chain Marks & Spencer announcing a sharp drop in sales.

 

The series of bad news hit the stock markets last week. The US had its worst month in June since 2002 and the stock indices have fallen by more than 20% off their peak, thus meeting the definition of a “bear market.”

 

On Friday, “UK and equities shuddered to their lowest levels since 2005, a bleak end to a torrid week as record oil prices fuelled inflation fears and sent investors fleeing to safety,” in the colourful words of the Financial Times.

 

The effects on developing countries have become serious. The value of stock markets in emerging markets fell by 10% in June, contributing most to a US$3 trillion (RM9.8 trillion decline in the value of global stock markets in that month.

 

Last week, stock prices in developing countries fell for the fourth week in a row. By last Friday, stock market indices had fallen by 6.3% in South Korea, 4% in Thailand and 3.2% in Pakistan. Malaysia also saw a downturn, as well as a day of non-trading due to a computer glitch.

 

It was also reported that a quarter of countries in the world now have double-digit inflation, all of them developing countries.

 

With all the negative news, it is easy to conclude that the woes that began with the sub-prime mortgage crisis in the United States are far from over.

 

Instead, the problems have migrated from the finance and housing sectors to other areas (such as retail business) while inflation is now rivalling recession.

 

It is the most complex and difficult economic crisis the world has seen in decades, and possibly since the Great Depression, according to a growing number of well-known analysts.

 

Perbagai pihak memberi ulasan daripada kita-kita yang minum teh tarik di kedai kopi sehinggalah kepada jutawan internet, pakar syariah dan bekas perdana menteri di dalam blog-blog mereka.

 

Terlalu perit kenaikan ini, memang diakui oleh kita semua, tak kiralah jika kita ini bergaji besar atau pun kecil. Sama saja. Orang bergaji besar nasik lemak mereka berharga RM4.50 sepinggan kerana harga restoran yang rekaan dalamannya begitu selesa, sudu garpu stainless steel, harga hawa dingin juga sudah dimasukkan kedalam nasi lemak itu.

 

Orang bergaji kecil hanya membeli nasi lemak RM1.00 kerana hanya bersambal bilis dan telur (yang tak sampai pun tiga perempat daripada sebutir telur!).

 

Katakan akibat kenaikan minyak ini harga Nasi lemak orang bergaji besar naik sehingga menjadi RM5.50 sepinggan dan nasi lemak orang bergaji kecil naik sehingga RM2.00.

 

Kenaikannya tetap sama, semua terasa.. kenaikan RM1.00 itu. Bahkan yang lebih perit terasa adalah orang berpendapatan kecil tapi bernafsu untuk berbelanja besar! Hanya mampu membeli nasi lemak RM2.00, tetapi disebabkan mahu mempunyai status membeli nasi lemak RM5.50. Sekadar analogi untuk difikirkan..

 

Ia, itu realiti kini, lihatlah berapa ramai yang muflis sedangkan berpangkat eksekutif muda. Berapa ramai pula yang perangainya meminjam disana, kabus hutang disini, dan pinjam pula disinun.

 

Kita semua berpotensi menjadi Jutawan! Tapi perangai berbelanja melebihi pendapatan ini membuatkan kita sukar menjadi jutawan. Sebabnya jutawan membelanjakan wang mereka kurang daripada pendapatan mereka.

 

Jikalau seseorang jutawan itu mempunya wang 2 juta, dan setiap bulan di belanja kan suku juta, selepas 8 bulan.. wang nya akan habis!

 

Tetapi jika seorang bergaji kecil, Hanya RM2000 sebulan, setelah berbelanja dengan berhemat, mempunyai wang lebih RM200 sebulan, lalu ia simpan di bank. Selepas 8 bulan ia mempunyai simpanan RM1600. Nah dia lagi kaya berbanding jutawan bankrupt diatas!

 

Ia, semua orang tahu mengenai perkara ini, tapi berapa ramai sanggup mengamalkannya? Apa yang perlu diamal? Perancangan kewangan. Kita perlu rancang… banyak tip-tip berguna di tulis oleh penulis popular seperti Azizi Ali dan lain-lain. Malah kini buku-buku bahasa melayu juga banyak membicarakan tentang ini.

 

Di sertakan disini, nasihat Datuk Suret Singh dari ‘ Road Safety Department’ yang tersiar di dalam The Star 6 June 2008. Katanya, sebagai panduan umum, memandu pada 90 kmsj adalah kelajuan yang optimum. Jika anda sudah biasa memandu di lebuhraya pada 110 kmsj, cuba memandu pada 90kmsj. Anda akan rasai penjimataannya.

Betulkah tip ini? Mari kita cuba bersama.

 

Dalam kerancakan Perbankan Islam di Malaysia ini, kita harus bersyukur kerana ada pinjaman yang tidak menindas. Ingin info lanjut? Layari www.zaharuddin.net. Banyak ilmu-ilmu menarik disitu. Tetapi sedih juga apabila melihat ramai yang memanipulasikan kebaikan produk perbankan islam ini, maklumlah cas denda lewat bayarnya murah!

 

Bila tiada produk perbankan islam yang halal, kita menyalah kan kerajaan atau sesiapa saja, bila ada pula, kita pula yang lambat bayar! Bagaimana agaknya bank ini mahu berkembang, sudah lah pungutan untungnya tidak menindas kita sebagai pengguna.

 

Kenapa harus jadi begini? Adakah kerana perangai kita yang membelanjakan wang melebihi pendapatan kita? Sama-sama kita siasat.

 

Kerana harga barang dijangka akan naik tak lama lagi, kita tiada pilihan…. Kita menyalak marahkan bukit, bukit tak kan runtuh tapi kita juga yang di baling batu!

 

Kita marahkan perlbagai pihak sebab harga minyak naik, harga minyak tetap naik tak kan turun, tapi esok lusa, kita punya nasi lemak pula naik dari RM2.00 jadi RM3.00!!!

 

Rancanglah kewangan anda untuk kebaikan hari esok dan ingatlah ular yang menyusur akar tidak akan hilang bisanya.
