I sincerely wish to thank Dennis Chew, Syed Mohsin, Kay, Alice and Sherry for the superb organisation and the scoring. A special thank you to Castello and Hamzah Amin for the splendid arrangement with the Mega Lanes management. To Azza, Shahrom ,Haji Anuar, Ah Meng, Ngau, Azhar, Haji Azmi, Akob, Rafee, Salwa, Apiss and Hafiz, thank you for the support. To Haji Shahimi and Awang, thank you for sharing the lanes where I scored 225. To Alex Tong, I will keep your money till you come back to beat me. To Dato' Burn and Tuan Wahab, both your presence had made the tournament meaningful. And to all the rest who had been a good sport.
To Fendi especially, you can keep the trophy for a week and after you had finished taking pictures with it, please return it to be displayed at my office. The same trophy will be up for grab next year! Hopefully next year, the champion's prize money will be raised!

Happy New Year 2009 and for those who had not won anything, please train hard and who knows you might get invited again next year 2010.

  1. DSN,
    1) Very good of you, good move and congratulations for organizing such this meaningful sporting event...

    2) Personally I think, sport / sporting event is a maeningful & an excellent people relations building event, and bowling is one of the best since it can easily get many people of different levels, professions, ages, genders, etc to involve. Bowling is a family sport too..

    3) Even, I think you should extend suggestion to our politicians to use bowling (or other suitable sukan rakyat or sukaneka, but still for me bowling is the best since it is playd in the aircond environment) as relations building event with their community and do it periodically.. YB turun padang bersukan dengan rakyat, lepas tu makan2.. Maybe this would help the YB to better win hati rakyat - YB spending time bermain2 dengan orang kampung or its community..

    4) Quick look, you have many good people around you willing to help and supporting you, I think the main reason because you are very good person to them and people.. Keep it up Dato'... Well done...

    5) Alex's money tu.. Boleh frame kot...

Prerogative of Mercy. Beg Your Pardon...

Ada terpandang video oleh Zaid Ibrahim tentang Pardon. Dia kata itu Prerogative of Mercy oleh Agong dan Raja2. High Prerogative of Mercy....or something like that lah. Itu betul. Tapi kalau nak kata process itu tidak ada procedure tak betul lah. Perlembagaan kita dan Akta Penjara telah tetapkan procedure nya. Agong & Raja2 juga perlu bertindak ikut Perlembagaan dan Undang2. Maka itu lah sebabnya digelar Raja Berperlembagaan. Dalam Perlembagaan ditetapkan mesti diadakan Pardons Board yang dipengerusikan oleh Tuanku sendiri. Antara lain Pardons Board itu akan bermesyuarat, pertimbangkan Petisyen yang dikemukakan, dapatkan nasihat dan pandangan ahli Pardons Board itu dan minta nasihat dan pandangan dari Peguam Negara. Bukan macam cerita filem purba. Bukan macam cerita Sultan Melaka ampunkan Hang Tuah untuk tujuan suruh bertikam dengan Hang Jebat. Bukan sebab Sultan Melaka menyesal tersalah hukum Hang Tuah. Bukan ampunkan Hang Tuah sebab Hang Jebat handal sangat dan hanya Hang Tuah sah...

Setiausaha Politik selama 18 tahun (2000-2018)

Apabila YB Dato' Adnan Yaakob dilantik sebagai Menteri Besar Pahang, beliau telefon saya bertanya samada saya hendak tak datang ke Kuantan bekerja dengan dia. "Sam, Long ingat elok awak berubah angin. Mari datang Kuantan kerja dengan Long". Begitu lah kata-kata beliau. Kebetulan tahun 1999 itu saya kurang betul menumpukan perhatian kepada kerja-kerja sebagai lawyer. Anak saya baru meninggal pada 20hb August 1998. Dato' Adnan dilantik sebagai MB pada 25hb Mei 1999. "Come lah work with me. We see how I can place you in the MB's Office" Begitu lah Long Nan beritahu saya. "Boleh lah Long. Setahun dua boleh kot. I like myself more as lawyer, Long...." "OK...mari lah setahun dua" Itu jawab Dato' Adnan. "Tapi Long tak boleh lah bagi awak gaji besar Sam...." Sambung Dato' Adnan. "Kita tengok lah mana yang sesuai". Tambah beliau. Pada mulanya sejak bulan Mei 1999 itu saya hanya berulang alik KL-Kuantan. Tujuan...

Melayu Ada Kelas Ke? (Bab 2)

Prodigal Maestro membawa ingatan saya ke tahun 1985. Pada tahun itu saya memulakan karier sebagai seorang lawyer setelah letak jawatan dari Judicial & Legal Service. Saya berkenalan dengan Dato' Mohd Ariff Ibrahim (DMA). Beliau seorang akauntan dengan Hanafiah Raslan Mohamad (HRM). Di HRM saya juga kenal Hassan Merican, Toby Lam dan lain-lain. Itu pun kerana saya dengan legal firm Messrs. Gill & Tang dan PS Gill adalah rakan kongsi saya. PS Gill adalah bapa kepada Asha Gill. Ya... Asha Gill dalam Astro tu! DMA adalah orang Kelantan dan isteri beliau Tengku Fatihah Ibni Sultan Ibrahim (Ku Ah) saudara kepada Sultanah Johor dan juga Raja Permaisuri Perlis. Saya terpegun dengan kereta Rolls Royce mereka nombor plat DA 3 (Dato' Ariff 3). Kalau tidak silap hanya ada 9 lagi Rolls Royce yang dimiliki oleh orang Melayu selain dari yang dimiliki oleh Sultan, Raja dan Yang DiPertuan Negeri. Raslan tidak minat Rolls Royce dan lebih gemar kepada Porche (atau Ferrari...saya dah tak i...
