Keunikan nama di Sabah

Seorang Lelaki Sabah yang boleh bercakap dalam pelbagai bahasa termasuk bahasa India, Cina dan Siam!!!

Sabah yang terletak di kepulauan Borneo, sememangnya dikenali sebagai negeri yang mempunyai lebih 40 kumpulan etnik. Kepelbagaian etnik dan tradisi itu menyumbang kepada keunikan nama masyarakat di Sabah itu sendiri.

Untuk rekod, antara suku kaum yang terdapat di Sabah adalah rumpun Kadazan Dusun Murut, Lotud, Tatana, Sungai, Tombonuoh, Kokos, Bajau, Dusun Gana, Dusun Tobilung, Rungus, Tidong, Lundayuh dan macam macam lagi.

Selain kaya dengan keunikan gaya hidup tradisional, rumpun masyarakat pelbagai kaum di Sabah juga kaya dengan keunikan nama individunya.

Jangan terkejut jika anda mendengar nama Bahaya, Liar Sungguh, Mahal, Manis Muka, Haji Kalipunya (California), Sikuk, Sahaban (Sabahan), Sabud, Cenderamata, USNO, Berjaya dan Malaysia dan sebagainya.

Di Semporna, pantai Timur Sabah, ada ahli wanita UMNO Bahagian yang bernama Puan Manismuka binti Mohd Dara.

Di Semporna juga, ada lelaki yang bernama Malaysia kerana dilahirkan pada 31 Ogos 1957 atau 16 September 1963, jika saya tidak silap.

Di Sabah Electricity Sendirian Berhad pula, pengurus perhubungan korporat adalah Puan Chenderamata binti Haji Sinteh.

Di Labuan, Ahli Parlimennya bukan jual mahal tapi sekadar namanya memang YB Datuk Yusuf Mahal.

Menteri Perumahan dan Kerajaan Tempatan Sabah merangkap Bendahari UMNO Sabah pula adalah Datuk Haji Hajiji Haji Noor, kata orang menteri yang paling banyak naik haji.

Penulis berita Utusan Borneo - Abd.Naddin Hj Shaiddin pula pernah menulis dalam laman blognya mengenai pengalaman bertemu seseorang yang namanya Bahaya bin Unggus, 84 tahun dari Kudat dalam laman blognya

http://abdnaddin.blogspot.com/2010/05/pengalaman-didatangi-bahaya.html

Beliau juga pernah menulis mengenai nama Liar Bin Sungguh di sini http://abdnaddin.blogspot.com/2010/05/catatan-tentang-nama-yang-unik.html

Ada juga yang bernama USNO - sempena parti politik terawal di Sabah suatu ketika dulu.

Di Semenanjung pula, ada Menteri yang bernama buah iaitu buah Sukun - Tan Sri Koh Tsu Koon.

Dulu ada wakil rakyat di Pahang yang bernama YB Yamaha - Yam Ah Ha!!

Tak tau pula jika ada yang bernama Suzuki atau Kawasaki atau Yokohama???

Speaker Dewan Rakyat pula adalah seorang pendekar berhati mulia dari Kota Belud, Sabah - Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Haji Mulia.

Di Sabah juga, beberapa lokasi masih menggunakan nama British iaitu Hospital Queen Elizabeth, Kota Kinabalu dan Hospital Duchess of Kent, Sandakan.

Dulunya, Pantai Tanjung Aru dikenali Taman Prince Philip sempena nama suami Ratu Elizabeth kedua.

Begitu juga pekan Beaufort yang bunyinya seolah olah sebuah pekan di Eropah.

Di Kinabatangan pula ada Paris iaitu kampung Paris I, II dan III di Kinabatangan.

Di Kiulu pula ada UK - Ulu Kiulu dan di Likas ada KL iaitu Kampung Likas!!!

Di Papar ada Pantai Manis yang sudah hilang manisnya akibat pencemaran sampah dan hakisan pantai, di Semporna ada penempatan belum sempurna dari segi kemudahan rakyat dan di Pulau Gaya, kini sudah tidak bergaya akibat kebanjiran pendatang asing.

Di Telupid pula ada USA - Ulu Sapi Agropolitan!!!

Di Sarawak, ada Ahli Parlimen yang baik hati dan berkhidmat cemerlang kepada rakyat tetapi kadangkala disalah ertikan sebagai bengis sebab namanya YB Richard Riot!!

Ada juga namanya diambil daripada makanan ruji penduduk Eropah dan Amerika iaitu YB Joseph Salang Gandum!!

Di Sabah pula, YB yang dikatakan pengurup wang paling terkenal ialah YB Tan Sri Joseph Kurup!!

Jangan marah YB2, Datuk2, Tan Sri2 semua... sekadar gurauan aja...

Hmmmm.. Macam Macam... Kata orang jauh perjalanan, luas pemandangan.

Artikel ini bukan bertujuan mempermainkan nama seseorang atau merendahkan individu, namun sekadar ditulis untuk informasi sahaja. Salam kemaafan dan Salam hormat...

19 year old Malaysian teenager RM 8 Million gambling debts!!!

This could be the youngest gambler in the world with huge gambling debts - to the tune of 8 Million Malaysian Ringgit or roughly USD 2.5 Million!!! Yet that teenage heavy gambler is only 19 years old. He started gambling when he was 16 and still attending college. In 3 years, he lost RM8 Million or roughly USD 2.5 Million dollars.

He was financially supported by his rich millionaire father. He was also influenced by his father's compulsive and heavy gambling habit!!!

Like father like son hah!!!

Top Malaysian English language newspaper, the Star reported that the boy's compulsion for betting was so great that he came to be known as the Little Dragon.

According to the Star, the teenager grew up watching his father gamble and at the age of 16, he began to gamble after gambling agents gave him a credit line of RM100,000 or roughly USD 32,000.

Each time he was buried in debt, his father would bail him out. Over these 3 years, there have been several bail-outs.

However when the accumulated losses came to RM8 million, it was the last straw for the father. The man, in his 50s, barred him from gambling and stopped his son from attending college. He now works with his father.

According to the newspaper, the teenager who was pursuing an Australian degree programme at a college in Petaling Jaya near Kuala Lumpur had on several occasions used college fees to settle his debts and extend his credit line.

He would lie to his father that college fees needed to be paid and use the money to pay the gambling agents.

On occasions when he could not settle the debt, the agents would send Ah Long or illegal money lender to collect from the father.

Gambling agents were the culprits who went after teenagers from rich families.

Most times, these agents would go to ‘high-end colleges’ and look for these rich kids.

Gambling does not pay.

But sometimes it does pay like these cases here :

First Lady, Michelle Obama challenged by a Mexican schoolgirl!!

It happended when the United States First Lady Michelle Obama visited a primary school in Maryland, USA.

Can you imagine that, a tender and very young and innocent school girl challenged one of the most powerful ladies in the world??

When this video made its way to Youtube, viewers posted comments which included - "deport this kid and her mom to Mexico"!!!

During the visit, the girl apparently of Mexican descendant, said her mother - who she revealed was an undocumented migrant - said Barack Obama was "taking everybody away that doesn't have some papers".

In response, Mrs Obama said work should be done to ensure immigrants had proper papers.

The US First Lady was at the school with the wife of Mexican President Felipe Calderon, whose US visit has been dominated by immigration issues.

The exchange occurred when Mrs Obama and her counterpart Margarita Zavala were visting the school in Silver Spring, Maryland.

After being challenged by the unidentified girl, Mrs Obama said: "That's something that we have to work on, to make sure that people can be here with the right kind of papers."

The girl then said "but my mum doesn't have papers". The First Lady replied: "We have to fix that. And everybody's got to work together in Congress to make sure that that happens."

The headteacher said the school did not inquire about the immigration status of parents.

During his visit, both Mr Calderon and Mr Obama criticised a controversial new immigration law in Arizona.

Whoaaaa... Any comment Mr President Obama...??

Justin Bieber - roadmap to success!!!

Justin Bieber is only 16 years old... Yet he is a rocketman in the music industry.. His meteoric progress in the music industry is even faster than the late Michael Jackson and even faster than the speed of light.

Few months back, nobody knows who Justin Bieber is.... But now even people in remote places in the Far East of Asia, the jungles of Africa and deserts of Arab as well as the wilderness of Alaska knows him.

Thanks to the immense power of the Internet, Justin Bieber is now a global sensation.



Justin Bieber's album My World 2.0 debuted at No. 1 on Billboard and has sold nearly 850,000 copies in just five weeks...!!! .

Wow, what an achievement..

Bieber is something else entirely. He is the first real teen idol of the digital age, a star whose fame can be attributed entirely to the awesome power of the Internet, something unthinkable in the 1980s when Michael Jackson was rising to fame!!!

What will happen if the Internet technology is already availabe in the 1970s or 1980s - well i think Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Madonna and Cindy Lauper, Whitney Houtson and Metallica will achieve fame and Megastars status in shorter period of time and selling 100% more albums and charting more Billboard no. 1. Period. Numero Uno.

In 2007 he was 12 years old and living in Stratford, Ontario, Canada with his single mother, Pattie Mallette. Mallette began posting videos of her son's musical performances on YouTube so that relatives could see him in action.

Bieber sang pop and R&B songs: Matchbox Twenty, Stevie Wonder, Alicia Keys and others. And he was good, really good.

So good that strangers started watching his videos. Within months, his Internet following numbered in the thousands.

Late one night in 2007, Scooter Braun, an Atlanta-based promoter and music manager, was in bed surfing the Internet when he stumbled upon a grainy home video of Bieber belting out Aretha Franklin's "Respect.".

"It was such raw talent, my gut just went wild..Maybe I shouldn't tell people I watched videos of Justin Bieber in the middle of the night."



Two weeks later, he flew Bieber and his mother to Atlanta and became his manager.

Braun and Bieber spent the next six months strategically building a fan base. Bieber would post new songs on YouTube, respond to messages from fans and interact with them.

He was accessible, he addressed his fans by name and talked to them as if they were friends. Even now, with 2.2 million Twitter followers, he frequently responds to fans' questions and retweets their greetings. "I also try to read all of my fan mail," he says. "A lot of them send me candy, which I'm not allowed to eat 'cause my mom says it might be poisonous."

Now, more than 100 million people watched his music videos on YouTube.



He even sang in front of President Barack Obama and the first lady - Michelle.

Prior to performing in front of the US President, Bieber - the YouTube singing sensation wrote on his Twitter "In DC preparing to sing for President OBAMA!!..Yeah im nervous. if i mess up he might deport me back to Canada. Lol." !!!!

Hahahahaaaa!! He has got very good sense of humour too..

Justin delivered a Christmas tune called "Someday at Christmas" during the gig. Host George Lopez introduced his performance saying, "Like you, Mr. President, this young man has many fans trying to shake his hand without permission."!!!




The Obamas even took pictures with him.



However, record labels don't like to take chances, especially an untested teenage act. "They kept telling me, He's not backed by Disney. He doesn't have a TV show. He's a nobody," says Braun.

But among other artists, Bieber's sheer talent quickly spread. Justin Timberlake wanted to work with him. So did Usher. "He sang and played the guitar for me, and I was like, Wow, this kid has even more talent than I did at that age," he says.

The Italian jokes

An 18 year old Italian girl tells her Mom that she has missed her period for 2 Months. Very worried, the mother goes to the Drugstore and buys a pregnancy test.

The test result shows that the girl is pregnant. Shouting, cursing, crying, the mother says," Who was the pig that did this to you? I want to know!" The girl picks up the phone and makes a call.

Half an hour later, a Ferrari stops in front of their house. A mature and distinguished man with gray hair and impeccably dressed in an Armani suit steps out of the Ferrari and enters the house.

He sits in the living room with the father, mother, and the girl and tells them.

"Good morning, your daughter has informed me of the problem. I can't marry her because of my personal family situation but I'll take charge. I will pay all costs and provide for your daughter for the rest of her life. Additionally, if a girl is born, I will bequeath a Ferrari, a beach house, 2 retail stores, a townhouse, a beach front villa, and a $2,000,000 bank account. If a boy is born, my legacy will be a couple of factories and a $4,000,000 bank account. If twins, they will receive a factory and $2,000,000 each. However, if there is a miscarriage, what do you suggest we do?"

At this point, the father, who had remained silent, places a hand firmly on the man's shoulder and tells him, "You fuck her again."

Presiden Barack Obama - Anak Menteng, Indonesia

Sepertimana diketahui umum, Presiden Amerika Syarikat, Barack Obama pernah menetap di Indonesia, ketika zaman kanak kanaknya pada penghujung 1960an.

Lebih tepat, di daerah Menteng, Jakarta.

Atas sebab itulah Presiden Obama boleh berbahasa Indonesia termasuk perkataan Terima Kasih, Apa Khabar, malahan beliau juga boleh menyebut nama makanan popular Indonesia seperti Bakso, Nasi Goreng dan lain lain.




Atas sebab itulah sebuah filem dokumentari mengenai kehidupan kanak kanak Barack Obama di Menteng sedang disiapkan. Dokumentari itu bertajuk "Obama, Anak Menteng".

Ya, siapa sangka seorang anak Menteng suatu hari nanti menjadi pemerintah Dunia dengan menjadi Presiden Amerika Syarikat ke 44. Itulah Barack Obama.





Ilham Anas (kiri), Presiden Barack Obama (kanan)


Malahan di Indonesia juga, seorang jurufoto - Ilham Anas menjadi seorang celebriti kerana mempunyai wajah seiras dengan Presiden Obama. Oleh kerana popularitinya, Ilham juga sering kali ditemuramah dalam rancangan bual bicara Televisyen di Indonesia serta juga membintangi iklan komersial di TV dan surat khabar.
