The Orphans of Melawi
The body of Saripah Mohd. Noor, 34 lied motionless in the mortuary waiting for post mortem to be perform. She was reported as 4 months pregnant. The husband was there, looking confuse. We were told that the wife left the husband and their five kids few days earlier due to some family problem.
On that fatal day, she borrowed RM 5 from the neighbour in her mother’s village near Tumpat because she missed her kids. She filled RM3 worth of petrol into her motorcycle and plan to buy some ‘cikadis’ for her kids with the balance, not knowing the RM 2 will seal her fate. When her handbag was pulled by the snatch thief on another motorcycle, she lost her balance and was rammed by the car behind her.
Husam and me always discussed about her kids. Today, we managed to pay the orphans of Melawi a visit. Their conditions is very bad.
Their granny is taking charge of them. Their house is in very bad shape, so does their granny’s house. We were also being informed that they have been skipping school a lot.
On behalf of Kickdefella readers, YB Husam hand over RM900 collected from our Ramadan Charity Drive. He also made an undisclosed amount of personal contribution and gave RM5,000 each to rebuild both houses.
We hope this can help bring some smile to their face, at least until few days of Syawal. Nevertheless, a long term solution needs to be drafted. They have been living in this condition even before the death of their beloved mother. However, only with the death of the mother, their misery were later discovered. Or may I rephrase it and say, The Almighty had to sacrifice the mother, to get us to notice the suffering of her children.
Melawi is a beach village in the Parliament of Bachok. Former MP of Bachok, Dr. Awang Adek is currently the Deputy Finance Minister while the current MP, Nasharuddin Mat Isa is the Deputy President of PAS.

Selamat Hari Raya to Sheih Kickdefella ..his lovely wife and children… and to all my Muslims friends in this blog.
Satu usaha yang harus di teruskan. Jangan lah time raya/ puasa sahaja.
Semoga usaha ini akan mengubah nasib mereka dalam negara yang sudah 5 dekad merdeka.
Kembalikan lah royalti kelantan moga dgn wang tersebut dapat mengisi perut perut mereka dgn sesuap nasi dan mengisi dada mereka dgn ilmu pengetahuan.
Haram bagi mereka yang mengambil hak orang lain.
Orang Bachok.

Amalan baik yang dibuat dengan ikhlas akan mendapat balasan sewajarnya dari Allah SWT, amalan baik yang dibuat sambil ‘menganying’ orang lain pun akan dapat balasan dari Allah SWT. Fikir-fikirkanlah bro……………
tangan yg memberi lebih baik dari yang menerima.Usaha yg baik dari saudara
bro sheih.. i thought i have written something about kampung warisan nelayan di kawasan pesisir pantai melawi.. it so nice on paper but of course a notable sum of budget always constrain our creativity..
but i see a light in a cause of Proposed Masjid Al-Husseini in Bandar Baru Tunjung.. i hope it will commence as soon ASAP.. ~ i hope it will be a big enough venue.. with a mesra-pengguna/alam chararateristics..
Seni Bina Islam is not enough refered to symbol.. must also be combined with a flair.. maybe state gov already gone far to study a good pattern of designing that new mosque..
Istiqomah…
