A Bare Gentle Directness Among Rhetorical Kinfolk

Dunia sedang digemparkan dengan virus selsema H1N1 yang dipanggil selsema babi. Ini adalah petunjuk awal kepada manusia yang gemar berbalah bahawa ada perkara yang akan datang dan menunjukkan bahawa manusia itu makhluk yang lemah.

H1N1 telah tersebar dibeberapa negara Amerika, Eropah dan Asia. Kementerian Kesihatan semalam telah mengeluarkan 10,000 risalah jawapan kepada persoalan selsema babi, 5,000 nasihat perjalanan dan beberapa ribu borang kuarantin kepada MAB untuk digunakan di KLIA. Jumlah yang diperlukan melebihi 100,000 dan memaksa kakitangan Kementerian Kesihatan di Bahagian tertentu untuk bekerja hingga 12.00 tengah malam.

Amaran ini seolah-olah menunjukkan bahawa babi itu tidak diperlukan dalam industri ternakan. Tidak seperti selsema burung, selsema babi dikaji mampu merebak dengan pantas dan mampu mengulangi malapetaka influenza 1919, 1959 dan 1968 yang membunuh berpuluh-puluh juta orang pada setiap musim.

Kepada kerajaan negeri yang masih berfikir tentang industri penternakan babi sistematik atau tak sistematik, fikirkanlah cara untuk menggantikan industri ternakan babi dengan gantian kepada sumber makanan yang lain.

Apakah wabak selsema babi ini mempercepatkan petanda akhir zaman. Kemusnahan manusia besar-besaran dan datangnya Nabi Isa a.s. yang akan memimpin umat Muhammad dan mentiadakan jizyah, membunuh babi dan menghapuskan salib setelah membunuh Dajjal?

Jika demikian, ketahuilah bahawa selsema babi yang muncul ini merupakan peringkat awal bagi sesuatu yang bakal menghantui tamadun manusia untuk satu masa yang panjang.

With the current issue of the landslide, do read my letter to the editor of Utusan Malaysia that has been published today, 9th December 2008 in the Forum section of the daily. I don't wish to paste it here because I really want Utusan to get off the boycott campaign. LOL.

Upon the bed, the desease I suffer most is SLEEP PARALYSIS. Sounds like a syndrome that someday will require me to sit on a wheelchair? No lah! It was just a disturbance in the motor neuron with cerebral bla bla bla that associated with REM sleep with inception of narcoplexy, cataplexy and bla bla bla which has turn our brain and the body waking up unsynchronizedly.

When I first brought the issue to the medical practitioner in Dec 2003, the doctor I'm referring to had giving me a truly inconvincing answer regarding this. In his barefaced respond he said " This must be an act of demonic visitation or jinn interference or bla bla bla..". I was like.." WTF with him.. I wouldn't ask him if I can have that the folklore kind of answer elsewhere!". I try to suggest him my own assumption. " Doctor, is it possible that this syndrome happens when our brain wake up a few second earlier than our body?". Then the doctor said, "Yes. I think you are right!".

Well, if you wish to talk about facts, people will tell you more about facts. The doctor seems to get me know more about sleep paralysis and he started to tell everything. He also said that most people choose to stick on the folklore and nothing important for them to learn about the scientific explanation. Alas, they will revile you for not believing the 'ghaib' world.

I do believe in hidden and invisible form of creature but in this REM periodical disoder, I count them out.
