A magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Port Au-Prince, the capital of Haiti Tuesday evening (Wednesday morning, Malaysian time) leaving behind massive destruction and the loss of thousands of lives. Many others are still trapped under the debris as teams of international rescuers rush to provide aid and support.


"Parliament has collapsed. The tax office has collapsed. Schools have collapsed. Hospitals have collapsed," President Rene Preval told the Miami Herald. "There are a lot of schools that have a lot of dead people in them."

 

The Caribbean nation of about 10 million people, struggling with a history of despotic and corrupted leaders, has been assessed as the poorest country in the Americas. Literacy is recorded at 65.9 percent, again the lowest in the region.

 

The cost of human and environment destruction has been immense, and we pray the strength of the people of Haiti remain strong in this hour of pain.

Pertemuan... The word carries a beautiful meaning and this is an instance where the beauty of the word will not be captured in its entirety should the literal translation be applied in an attempt to convey it in English.

Indeed, it was a beautiful Pertemuan at the location where the Jempol river meets the Muar river. Legend has it that a group of Pasai first explored and were the pioneers of this place. It is also said that it was used as a meeting spot for traders from East Coast and Siam using the short-cut to Malacca along Jempol and Serting rivers towards Pahang.

Aku Ingin Bebas

burung pungguk

terpegun silu

melayang cemas dalam perangkap batu dan besi

mencari kebebasan hingga kesiangan hari


bertemu muka

saling mengadu nasib
