Betul tu, rezeki tidak pernah tersalah alamat.
Karena sesungguhnya sifat Rezeki adalah mengejar, bukan dikejar.
Rezeki akan mendatangi, bahkan akan mengejar,
hanya kepada orang yang pantas didatangi.
-Ustadz Zainal Abidin bin Syamsuddin-
Magnificent Century
This is a television series featuring the golden years of the Ottoman empire. It is intriguing to learn how Sultan Suleiman managed to conquer the Europe with his strong faith in Islam. No doubt that he was a good ruler. BUT, he was not a good husband (based on this movie, not his real life). He failed to pay attention to the struggles between his wife and concubine. He practised favouritism and he was not being fair to his wife. And this was eventually the reason for the fall of his great empire.

Two Options in Life
Options in life
There are always options in our life. But, sometimes the options are limited. We have TWO options in battling the COVID 19 pandemic. The options are
- Fight the COVID 19 until we win, OR
- Stabilise our economy
If we choose the first choice, then we have to act accordingly. Take all precautionary measures to ensure the COVID 19 virus is totally eliminated.
The question now is, can we choose the second option? Ironically, the first option is needed before we can get the second one. Therefore, WE DON’T HAVE ANY CHOICE.
Please combat the COVID 19 before dreaming to stabilise our economy. We can do one at a time.
