Hari merupakan hari pertama kita berpuasa Ramadhan 2008. Ramadhan itu datang ketika negara kita tengah rancak dengan pergolakan politik antara golongan yang inginkan pembaharuan dan golongan yang ingin mengekalkan kekuasaan.
Pergolakan yang sedang melanda ini turut mengheret kita bersama sama untuk memikirkan rumusan terbaik untuk mengatasi masalah yang sedang ribut itu. Ini turut mengajak pimpinan sekarang agar lebih bertanggungjawab dan menghormati suara-suara rakyat yang telah berani membidas dan menegur perkara yang difikirkan tidak memanfaatkan rakyat majoriti dan negara. Golongan yang membidas ini ingin seluruh rakyat keluar dari kepompong lama yang telah sekian lama membelengu dan inginkan suasana kehidupan yang lebih baik.
Masalahnya sekarang ialah mengapakah pimpinan sekarang masih enggan menerima anjakan paradigma yang meronta-ronta itu? Inilah yang membingungkan banyak pihak yang mengintai suasana politik negara sekarang ini.
Apapun, kita amat berharap sesuatu perkembangan positif akan berlaku dalam tempoh terdekat agar keadaan akan menjadi jernih kembali.
Selamat berpuasa.....

Iktibar Dari Peninju Thailand
Thief hints at Games 'robbery'
19 August 2008 (14:26)
Amnat Ruenroeng felt sorry for his friends in prison who watched him bow out of the Beijing Olympics on Tuesday.
Ruenroeng, who was locked up for a street robbery but released early, faulted the judging as he went down 5-2 to Mongolia's Serdamba Purevdorj in the light-flyweight quarterfinals.
"I know everyone in jail will be sad when they saw that," said the tattooed Amnat, 28.
"I did my best today. I made a lot of hits but didn't get any points, so no matter how hard I tried I still lost."
' The former kick-boxing champion was released on a special pardon for king Bhumibol Adulyadej's birthday last year after being jailed in 2004.
He described his criminal behaviour as a dark period in his life and said he was delighted to be free and fighting again.
"I stole a necklace but then I turned myself in to the police. It was better for me to live in jail at that time," he said.
"I'm really happy to be here after jail. It's great to have all my fans back."
Amnat had thought his fighting career was over when he was jailed. "I didn't think about boxing any more. I cut it out of my mind," he said.
But he was persuaded by the head prison guard to join a boxing programme, and won last year's Thai amateur championship while still behind bars.
"I was in prison for two-and-a-half years and released for the king's birthday," he said. "My boxing and good behaviour were the main reasons (for the early release)."
He said he was happy with his fight against the Mongolian and couldn't understand why he wasn't scoring any points.
"I felt good and my performance was great. It was just as I had expected. But the points didn't go up after the first round," said Amnat whose tale is a familiar one in Thailand where prisons have a close affinity with boxing.
Last year, convicted drug dealer Siriporn "Samson" Taweesuk won her freedom by winning a WBC light-flyweight title fight held at Klong Prem prison, known as the "Bangkok Hilton."
The tale had a Hollywood ending when she sold her story to an American film producer.

Begitulah hebatnya peninju Thailand sehingga merasakan ia amat bersalah terhadap rakan-rakannya hanya kerana kegagalannya dalam perlawanan tinju menentang lawan dari Mongolia di kejohanan Olympic Beijing .
Ini adalah satu cabaran kepada athlit-athlit Malaysia. Adakah mereka benar-benar rasa bertanggungjawab memikul maruah negara di temasya sukan terbesar dunia itu. Adakah athlit kita masih lena diulit mimpi?
