BUKIT LANJAN: Selamat Hari Raya Haji to Malaysians


BUKIT LANJAN: Selamat Hari Raya Haji to Malaysians
Hari Raya Aidiladha or Hari Raya Haji, or Feast of the Sacrifice/Sacrifice Feast, is the second of two Muslim holidays celebrated worldwide yearly.

Eid al-Adha 2017 will begin in the evening of Thursday Aug 31 and ends in the the evening of Monday Sept 4.

It honours the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) pbuh to sacrifice his son, as an act of obedience to God's command. Before he sacrificed his son God intervened by sending his angel Jibra'il (Gabriel), who then put a sheep in his son’s place.

In commemoration of this, an animal is sacrificed and divided into three parts: the family retains one third of the share; another third is given to relatives, friends and neighbours; and the remaining third is given to the poor and needy.

“Muslims in Malaysia also give equal importance to this religious practice. It is, therefore, that we observe Hari Raya Aidiladha with truly believing in Allah’s guidance,” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razal Alsagoff said.

He said Malaysian Muslims should adhere to the reason for the religious sacrifice - sharing with family members, relatives, friends and neighbours and the poor and needy.

Syed Razak said Malaysians should also strive to sacrifice, whenever possible or given the opportunity, to contribute to communities and nation-building.

Sacrifice for the socio-economic progress of Malaysians and Malaysia.


Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha.

The recommendation on Thursday by the Norwegian Central Bank, which manages the fund, is potentially the biggest advance yet for a global fossil-fuel divestment campaign that has been promoted on college campuses and by environmental activists. It could also be a setback for the proposed initial public offering of the Saudi national oil company, known as Aramco, since the Norwegian sovereign wealth fund, the world’s largest, would be a potentiall...

BUKIT LANJAN: DOSH and all related construction authorities must buck up It is quite obvious that something is not very right with the way the Department of Occupational Health and Safety (DOSH) and all related construction authorities are monitoring work safety at construction sites. There have been quite a number of tragic and non-tragic incidents at construction sites recently and yet accidents continue to recur despite DOSH’s claims that it has set up safety committees to tighten inspections. Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said: “There was the woman who was crushed to death by a crane hook that fell on her Perodua Kelisa from 20 storeys up. “This was followed by the collapse of the KL Eco City pedestrian bridge that claimed a life. And now a crane has collapsed at the Bandar Damansara Perdana (BDP) construction site.” Syed Razak said such tragic and non-tragic mishaps at construction would not occur or could have been avoided if high and competent constr...
