Pesan untuk Alif
Alif,
Hari ini Homeroom Alif mengadakan perjumpaan bersama ibu bapa di sekolah. Salah satu program yang dirancang ialah supaya ibu bapa menulis surat kepada anak masing-masing, sempena peperiksaan SPM yang bakal Alif dan rakan-rakan hadapi, setelah lima tahun berada di sekolah menengah. Namun disebab ayah di luar negara dan mama pula ada urusan PIBG di sekolah adik - adik, kami tidak dapat hadir program tersebut.
Sebenarnya semalam hari bekerja. Ayah tidak sempat mencari idea untuk menulis surat. Disebabkan dikejar oleh AJK program, ayah cuma sempat meminta ChatGPT menyenaraikan beberapa pesanan untuk Alif, dan ayah terus menghantarnya kepada Alif. Alif terima dengan baik, tetapi Alif membalas dengan jujur — Alif lebih suka jika ayah menulis sendiri, seperti ayah menulis blog dulu-dulu.
Baiklah, ayah berjanji.
Ini pesanku, khas untuk Alif, anak kedua kami yang bakal menduduki peperiksaan SPM tahun ini.
1. Homeroom
Luangkan masa sebaiknya dengan rakan-rakan homeroom. Selepas keluar dari maktab nanti, semua kenangan ini akan menjadi detik terindah yang akan dikenang sepanjang hayat. Bantulah rakan jika mereka memerlukan bantuan. Ayah sendiri masih berhubung dengan rakan-rakan di MRSM walaupun sudah lebih 30 tahun meninggalkan maktab. Persahabatan itu mahal nilainya.
2. Rakan maktab
Alif sebenarnya bertuah kerana mempunyai dua maktab sepanjang sekolah menengah. Ya, ayah tahu ia bukan pengalaman yang mudah apabila Alif di Tingkatan 4 terpaksa menyesuaikan diri dengan rakan-rakan baharu. Namun, di sebalik kesukaran itu, Alif mempunyai kelebihan yang besar — sama ada di Sandakan atau di Pontian, Alif mempunyai ramai rakan. Suatu hari nanti, Alif akan bertemu semula mereka, sama ada di universiti atau dalam kerjaya. Yang paling penting sekarang, hargailah dan luangkan masa dengan rakan-rakan yang ada di depan mata Alif hari ini.
3. Ingatan yang kuat
Alif dikurniakan ingatan yang sangat kuat. Itu satu kelebihan yang ayah sendiri tidak miliki. Jika ayah boleh meminta sesuatu, ayah mahu Alif menggunakan kelebihan ini untuk menghafal banyak surah Al-Quran. Ia akan menjadi bekalan terbaik sepanjang hayat, peneman ketika susah dan penenang ketika gelisah.
4. Skill untuk hidup
Akademik itu penting, tetapi hidup memerlukan lebih daripada sekadar akademik. Kita perlukan kemahiran komunikasi, kemahiran sosial, kawalan emosi, kepimpinan, memasak, memahami AI, keusahawanan dan banyak lagi. Kemahiran ini sentiasa berubah mengikut zaman, tempat dan matlamat hidup. Untuk menjadi khalifah di muka bumi dan insan yang berjaya dunia serta akhirat, kita mesti sentiasa belajar kemahiran baharu yang bermanfaat.
5. Hiduplah dan buat yang terbaik
Dunia ini luas dan penuh dengan perkara untuk diterokai — pengalaman baharu, tempat baharu, kenalan baharu, budaya baharu, bahasa baharu dan makanan baharu. Namun semua itu tidak akan bermakna tanpa kesihatan. Ilmu dan pengalaman tidak akan sampai ke mana-mana jika tubuh tidak sihat. Jaga kesihatan seawal mungkin. Elakkan makan terlalu banyak maggi kerana kesannya buruk dalam jangka masa panjang. Jika kesihatan rosak ketika muda, banyak perkara dalam hidup tidak dapat dilakukan. Jagalah tubuh badan kerana ia amanah daripada Allah sepanjang hayat. Tubuh yang sihat menentukan kualiti hidup — dengan kesihatan, kita mampu membantu orang lain, berkhidmat kepada agama, bangsa dan negara.
6. Pahit dan manis kehidupan
Dalam hidup, semuanya ada hikmah daripada Allah. Ada masa kita faham, ada masa kita tidak faham sehinggalah Allah sendiri menyedarkan kita. Belajarlah menerima qada’ dan qadar, kerana di situlah letaknya ketenangan hati.
7. Adab dan ilmu
Hormatilah guru dan jagalah keberkatan ilmu. Jaga adab dalam setiap keadaan, kerana manusia yang beradab itu tanda tingginya ilmu. Ilmu tanpa adab adalah ilmu yang pincang.
Belajarlah ilmu agama — Al-Quran dan hadis. Ikutilah para ulama. Ambillah ilmu daripada mereka yang arif tentang dunia dan akhirat. Semua ilmu ini diperlukan, sama ada sekarang mahupun pada masa hadapan.
Alif, SPM hanyalah salah satu daripada banyak peperiksaan dalam hidup. Ayah sentiasa mendoakan yang terbaik untuk Alif — bukan sahaja untuk SPM, tetapi untuk seluruh perjalanan hidup Alif di dunia dan di akhirat.
Ayah sentiasa bangga dengan Alif.
Ayah, Dumai, 24 Januari 2026

Berhenti kerana Allah
Social Performance in HSSE
Social performance in safety merujuk kepada bagaimana sesebuah organisasi mengurus, melindungi, dan meningkatkan keselamatan serta kesejahteraan manusia—bukan sahaja pekerja, tetapi juga kontraktor, pelanggan, dan komuniti sekeliling.
Commitment to Security, Safety, Environment & Social Performance
A strong commitment to Security, Safety, Health, Environment, and Social Performance (SSHE & SP) is fundamental to sustainable business operations. This commitment goes beyond compliance — it reflects a deep responsibility to people, communities, and the planet.
1. Pursue the Goal of No Harm to People
The highest priority is protecting human life. This includes preventing injuries, occupational illnesses, and security incidents. A “no harm” mindset requires strong leadership, safe systems of work, continuous risk assessment, and individual accountability at every level of the organization.
2. Respect Nature
Operations are conducted with respect for the natural environment. This involves minimizing environmental impact, protecting biodiversity, preventing pollution, and responsibly managing waste, emissions, and water usage — ensuring ecosystems are preserved for future generations.
3. Use Materials and Energy Efficiently
Efficient use of resources reduces environmental footprint and improves operational sustainability. This includes energy efficiency, waste reduction, circular economy practices, and innovation to maximize value while minimizing resource consumption.
4. Respect Our Neighbors and Contribute to Society
Organizations have a responsibility to the communities where they operate. This means engaging openly with stakeholders, respecting local cultures, managing social impacts, creating shared value, and contributing positively through employment, education, and community development initiatives.
5. Develop Energy Resources Responsibly
Energy resources are developed in a way that balances economic needs with environmental and social responsibility. This includes applying high safety standards, responsible project development, and supporting the transition toward lower-carbon and sustainable energy solutions.
6. Publicly Report Performance
Transparency builds trust. Regular public reporting on safety, environmental, and social performance demonstrates accountability, enables learning, and allows stakeholders to assess progress and challenges objectively.
7. Take a Leading Role in Promoting Best Practices
Organizations should actively promote and share best practices across the industry. Leadership means not only meeting standards but raising them — influencing partners, contractors, and peers to improve overall performance.
8. Systematically Manage HSSE & Social Performance
SSHE & SP are integrated into business processes through structured management systems, clear governance, measurable targets, audits, and continuous improvement cycles to ensure risks are identified and controlled effectively.
9. Create a Psychologically Safe and Learning-Oriented Workplace
A strong safety culture includes psychological safety — where people feel respected, supported, and empowered to speak up, report concerns, and learn from mistakes. An environment that encourages learning, collaboration, and continuous improvement strengthens both performance and well-being.
In summary:
True SSHE & Social Performance excellence is achieved when protecting people, respecting the environment, and contributing to society are embedded into daily decisions — not treated as separate from business success.

Kembara 2026 - Briswalk at Pekan Baru
Last weekend marked the second week of the challenge. On Saturday and Sunday, an unplanned journey helped me boost my step count—starting with a trip to Deli, which later turned into a spontaneous decision to continue on to Pekanbaru to meet a friend.
I checked into a hotel near Masjid Bandaraya Pekanbaru, and the next morning headed toward the Wali Kota Office area. To my surprise, Jalan Jenderal Sudirman was closed early in the morning, filled with families and city residents enjoying a brisk walk together.
Unknowingly, I had walked straight into an annual Lions Club Healthy Walk event. Around 3000 participants joined, with surprisingly generous prizes—an Umrah package, a motorcycle, kitchen appliances, and smartphones. Not wanting to miss the moment, I decided to join in.
Although I only managed 9,000 steps that morning, the experience was truly rewarding. I enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere, admired the beautiful buildings, and felt the energy of a city coming together for health and community.
Sometimes, the best walks are the ones you never planned.

Health reflection
After I shared a blog post with a few friends via my WhatsApp status, several of them replied.
One said, “My late father once attempted a stent procedure, but it was unsuccessful, and he passed away.”
Another replied, “Bro, I’ve already had two stents installed in my heart.” He is just one year younger than me.
Another friend told me, “You shared that post with me in the morning. By the afternoon, I was undergoing eye surgery.” He is now on two weeks of medical leave.
I responded to all of them with sadness and empathy for what they had gone through. I never expected that a simple personal sharing would open so many hearts among people close to me.
Yes, we are approaching our late 40s and 50s. Cholesterol issues. High blood pressure. Diabetes. Heart disease. Obesity. And some friends have already passed on. Aren’t these all reminders that keep coming back to us?
What more reminders are we waiting for?
Isn’t it time to change the way we eat, the way we treat our bodies, and the way we live?
Isn’t it time to stop smoking?
Isn’t it time to reduce sugar, oil, and salt, instead of indulging purely for taste and desire?
After carrying excess weight for so many years, when will we finally start exercising and taking control of our health?
Time is getting shorter. Our children are growing up and will soon walk their own paths. When will we truly spend time with them, instead of endlessly scrolling through TikTok and Facebook?
Health is not a luxury. It is a responsibility—to ourselves and to those who love us.
The reminders are already here. The question is: will we listen, or will we wait for the next wake-up call?
