How to force Oil companies to REDUCE their petrol price!

I received these email from a friend of mine.It looks really interesting.But the implementation must be take in place for us to succeed this campaign.Comments on this issue are welcomed.Thank you.

*************************************************************************************


This idea was written out by a retired Coca Cola Executive. It came from one of his engineer buddies who retired from Halliburton, an oil exploration company in U.S. If you are tired of the gasoline price is going up and up, AND it will continue to rise, take time to read this please.

Mr Phillip Hollsworth offered his good idea. This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the 'don't buy gasoline on a certain day' campaign that was going around last year April or May! It's worth your effort to join the campaign !!!!

I heard that price of petrol going to hit close to US$ 4.00 a gallon by next summer, and it might go up higher !

YOU want gasoline prices to come down ?

All we need to do is we must take some intelligent, UNITED ACTION NOW.

The oil companies laughed at us on last year 'Don't Buy Petrol For One day Campaign' because they knew we wouldn't continue to 'hurt' ourselves by refusing to buy gasoline. It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem to the oil companies. This time is different, consumers
have the power to bring down the price of goods !!! This is a plan that can really work. Please read on and join us!

You're probably thinking that gasoline priced at about $2.00/gallon is normal due to oil price has hit all time high of US$120/barrel !!!

But we CAN have an impact on gas price if we all act together to force a price war among the oil companies!!!

Here's the idea: For the rest of this year, DON'T buy gasoline from the two biggest companies, EXXON-MOBIL(Esso in Malaysia) and SHELL, some car owners being brain washed to use a particular brand of petrol in order to keep their car engines in tip top condition which is not true, any brand ! will work well for your cars, you can reconfirm this if you have a friend who is a petroleum engineer, If not, just fill up your tank with another brand which you never used before to confirm it.

When the oil companies that we are boycotting are not selling any gas for a week, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit; oil companies work like a cartel !!!!

To have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon-Mobil and SHELL gas buyers.. In the past, it was an uphill task but now, it's really simple to reach millions even billions of people. Keep reading and I will show you how to do it through the power of internet.

I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of us send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) ... and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x10 =3,000)... and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth group of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers. If those
three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted!

If it goes one level further, you guessed it..... THREE HUNDRED MILLIONs PEOPLE!!! This 300 millions people just email this to 5 of his/her contacts, we reached 1.5 billions people !!!

Are you excited as I am ? all you have to do is send this to 10 people or more if you can, its so simple, isn't it? Just Do it ! OK ???

How long would all this take? If each of us sends! this e- mail out to ten or more people within one day of receipt, all 1500 MILLIONs people could be contacted within the next 9 days !!!

I'll bet you didn't think you and I had so much power, did you! Acting together we can make a difference.

If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on. I suggest that we don't buy from EXXON-MOBIL and SHELL UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK.

Thank you

Lessons For Today

Narrated Abu Mas'ud RA : Allah's Messenger SAW said : A man from among those who were before us was called to account by Allah onthe Day of Resurrection. No good was found in his account except that he used to mix with people and being a rich man, used to lend money to the people and order his servants to let off the man who are unable to repay debt. The Prophet SAW said ; Allah said to the angles, "We are worthier than him of that generosity.So let him off". (Muslim)

Ketuanan Melayu - Satu Persoalan

"Ketuanan Melayu" bermaksud orang melayu merupakan tuan di dalam negaranya sendiri.Tidak dinafikan bahawa bangsa melayu merupakan bangsa yang terawal menduduki kawasan (pribumi) di sekitar tanah melayu ini.

Mengikut sejarah awal, bangsa melayu ini tidak wujud. Istilah "Melayu" ditakrifkan oleh UNESCO pada tahun 1972 sebagai suku bangsa Melayu di Semenanjung Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Filipina, dan Madagaskar. Bagaimanapun menurut Perlembagaan Malaysia, istilah "Melayu" hanya merujuk kepada seseorang yang berketurunan Melayu yang menganut agama Islam. Dengan kata yang lain, bukan semua orang yang berketurunan daripada nenek moyang Melayu adalah orang Melayu.

Berdasarkan perlembagaan Malaysia juga, orang melayu sangatlah diberi keutamaan dalam aspek kehidupan mereka.Dari mereka dilahirkan, bersekolah, melanjutkan pelajaran ke tahap tertinggi, sehinggalah ke alam pekerjaan.

Persoalannya.Adakah orang melayu di Malaysia ini hanya pandai menadah semata-mata?Adakah orang melayu hanya suka bergantung kepada orang lain bagi meneruskan kehidupan mereka?

Saya mungkin dilihat sinis kerana menulis dalam bahasa melayu.Akan tetapi harus diingat bahawa bahasa yang kita gunakan adalah bahasa nusantara dan telah dicampurkan dengan bahasa arab.Maka lahirlah bahasa melayu.Terdapat kurang lebih 5000perkataan arab yang digunakan dalam bahasa melayu.

Pengalaman saya membuktikan pergaulan saya dengan kawan-kawan berbangsa melayu dari peringkat sekolah hingga ke peringkat pengajian tinggi amat mendalam.Ada yang bijak dalam mata pelajaran, ada yang tidak.Ada yang rajin, malah ada juga yang sebaliknya. Malah lebih malang lagi, ramai juga yang menghidap penyakit hasad sesama mereka.

Kejayaan tidak datang bergolek.Kejayaan datang dengan usaha yang gigih, tabah dan kesabaran. Jika kita lihat bagaimana masyarakat bukan melayu di Malaysia lebih maju ke hadapan? Bangsa cina sudah tentu dengan kejayaan mereka bidang perniagaan. Bangsa india yang dilihat sebagai ketinggalan sebenarnya sedang mengorak langkah ke hadapan.Mekanik kedai motor lebih banyak didominasi oleh remaja kaum india.Kerani pejabat pula lebih didominasi oleh remaja perempuan india.(dikira mengikut peratusan)

Di mana remaja / orang melayu? Nak dikatakan peluang tidak diberi, mungkin tidak. Bagaimana nak jadi 'tuan' jikalau ekonomi, sosial dan politik didominasi oleh orang lain?

Saya masih ingat sewaktu belajar di kolej dahulu, ramai rakan-rakan yang telah 'dianugerahkan' pinjaman oleh pihak MARA. Akan tetapi, sayangnya, wang saku yang agak mewah yang diberikan pada waktu itu disalahgunakan. Ada rakan saya setelah menerima wang tersebut terus membeli Playstation.Ada juga yang menghabiskan waktu dengan awek-awek mereka yang kesudahannya 90% di kalangan mereka tidak sampai ke jinjang pelamin.Kasihan!

Saya juga pernah menghadiri seminar mengenai pinjaman perniagaan bumiputra yang dianjurkan oleh CGC. Penceramah di sana ada memberitahu terdapat masyarakat melayu yang memohon pinjaman, setelah menerimanya terus membeli kereta mewah.Bukankah wang tersebut digunakan untuk Cash Flow dan sebagainya.


Maka apa yang cuba disarankan adalah kita perlu berusaha untuk berjaya.Jika kita ingin kekal sebagai 'tuan' di bumi yang bertuah ini, kita harus berusaha.Rasulullah ada menyebut bahawa siapa yang berusaha dialah yang berjaya.

"Takkan hilang melayu di dunia" - kata-kata yang diungkapkan oleh Hang Tuah walaupun beliau bukan orang melayu.

Pedra Branca - A Test For Malaysian


Minggu lalu, kita telah dikejutkan oleh keputusan mahkamah antarabangsa (ICJ) bahawa Pulan Batu Putih (Pedra Branca) adalah milik Singapura.

Saya ingin meluahkan berdasarkan carian yang saya buat, Kerajaan Johor pada 1953 telah melepaskan pulau tersebut kepada Singapura. Sila rujuk surat disebelah.Mengapa ini berlaku? Adakah kerajaan johor pada ketika itu dengan sewenang-wenangnya melepaskan pulau yang dianggap tak berguna itu.

Dari perspektif saya, ini adalah angkara Singapura yang sedikit sebanyak ingin membalas 'dendam' 1965 di mana Singapura telah terkeluar dari Malaysia.Ia juga akibat kebodohan pemimpin Malaysia itu sendiri.

Sungguh kasihan rakyat Malaysia.Kita telah diperkotak-katikkan pemimpin bangsa kita sendiri.Ini bukan soal saiz pulau tersebut.Akan tetapi ia lebih menjurus kepada maruah orang Malaysia.

Beberapa tahun lalu, Lee Kuan Yew telah menyuarakan hasrat untuk bersatu dengan Malaysia.Beliau telah memberi 'hint'.sebaliknya Tun Dr Mahathir sewaktu menjadi PM telah menentang perkara tersebut itu boleh berlaku.Mengapa Lee Kwan Yew berbuat demikian?

Lee Kuan Yew merupakan pemimpin yang sentiasa memandang jauh kehadapan.Beliau telah melihat masa depan Singapura terbatas berikutan negaranya yang begitu kecil.'A tiny dot on the world's map'. Oleh itu, bagi membolehkan negaranya 'survive' 20-30 tahun mendatang, beliau memerlukan keluasan bagi membolehkan wawasan beliau tercapai.

Antara projek terkini yang sedang diintai oleh Sinagpura merupakan projek Wilayah Pembangunan Iskandar (WPI).Bayangkan keluasan WPI yang saiznya hampir sebesar setengah dari Singapura? Cuba anda bayangkan pasport tidak perlu digunakan bagi memasuki WPI? Sedangkan WPI terletak di Johor, Malaysia.

Kini jelaslah bahawa Singapura mempunyai hasratnya yang tersendiri.Janganlah disebabkan wang, negara kita tergadai ke tangan orang lain.Orang Malaysia bukanlah di kalangan mereka yang bodoh.Akan tetapi, tamak & gopoh yang membuatkan mereka jadi bodoh.

Ingat rakyat Malaysia! Jangan biarkan orang asing mengusai negara kita!

Lessons For Today

Abu Hurairah said, the Messenger Of Allah SAW said : "Never a wealth is decreased because of giving sadaqah (sedekah) and any 'Abd (hamba) who forgives, Allah will increase his standing, and anyone humbles himself for the sake of Allah, Allah will evaluate his stature." (Muslim)

Commentary

In Islam, Allah always wanted His 'Abd to do good things...As for me, in the sake of Allah, we have to try our best avoiding anything that Allah forbids...in other hand we try to do good things as we wish to do...For example, if a person can afford to donate RM 1 on every Friday....please do so as Allah's reward is more than a little RM 1...The most important, is that he / she should have the consistency (istiqamah) in doing good deeds....without relate to the quantity of it...


P/S : For the Lesson of Today column, i will try to produce it on every Friday...it is my intention into bringing all of you closer to Allah...No doubt i'm only a human being with full of sins...but i remember Allah said : Spread my words even a sentence.... May this posting can bring us towards His blessigs....Amin
