By Amarjeet Singh @ AJ When man has nothing, he is modest and humble. When man has everything, he becomes blind to what truly matters. When man has power, he often forgets where he came from. This is the cycle of humanity — the rise, the drift, and the fall. When we are struggling, we pray harder, listen deeper, and appreciate every small blessing. When success comes, we start believing it was our own doing — that we deserve it more than others. And when power follows, the illusion of control begins — we stop listening, we stop learning, and we start dictating. True strength is not in wealth or position, but in how grounded you remain when both are in your hands . Many people can survive hardship, but very few can survive success. Because power doesn’t change a person — it only reveals what was already hidden inside. 💰 When Greed Takes Over The worst is when power meets greed — and greed feeds on ignorance. We see it every day in politics, where those ele...

💧💧 When the Waters Rose, Humanity Answered When floods devastated villages across Punjab, homes were washed away and families were left with nothing but faith. Amidst the mud and ruin, United Sikhs volunteers — from both Malaysia and India — rose to serve , proving that Sewa (selfless service) knows no nationality or boundary. Five families, each with a heartbreaking story, became the focus of this collective mission — to rebuild, repair, and restore their dignity. 🏠 Five Homes, Five Stories of Hope 1️⃣ Karam Singh (Aadhar: 6048 4689 2583) - His small house was completely destroyed by the flood. - Under this project, a new home with 2 rooms, 1 toilet, 1 bathroom, and 1 kitchen is being built. - Estimated cost: ₹2.5 lakh . - Once living under a canvas, Karam and his family now see hope rise brick by brick. 2️⃣ Jaswinder Kaur (Aadhar: 9489 6655 0778) - Another poor family whose home vanished under floodwaters. - They took shelter in a Gurdwara until help a...

The Failing Ministry of Education – When Silence Becomes Complicity The Failing Ministry of Education – When Silence Becomes Complicity By Amarjeet Singh @ AJ 📚 A Ministry in Moral Freefall It is heartbreaking to see how far our education system has fallen. The Ministry of Education (MOE) — once the pride of the nation — now makes headlines not for excellence, but for scandals, tragedies, and moral collapse . Every few weeks, a new story emerges: a student bullied to death, another sexually assaulted, a teacher arrested for indecent acts, and most recently — a shocking gang rape in a classroom during school hours in Melaka . How did we fall this low? These are not isolated cases. They reflect an institutional failure of discipline, ethics, and leadership . And at the heart of it — a Ministry that seems more reactive than reformative, more defensive than decisive. ⚠️ Leadership Without Accountability The Education Minister, who should be the moral compas...

Do Ripe Fruits (and Nira/Tuak) Contain Alcohol — and Is It Halal? Do Ripe Fruits (and Nira/Tuak) Contain Alcohol — and Is It Halal? Yes, tiny amounts of alcohol can form naturally in ripe fruits and plant saps — but that does not automatically make them haram . Here’s the science, the halal reasoning, and practical tips for Malaysians. TL;DR : Ripening and warm storage can produce trace ethanol in fruits/juices and in plant sap (nira). Most halal authorities distinguish intoxicants (khamr) from non-intoxicating trace ethanol that arises unintentionally. Fresh sap (nira) consumed before fermentation is different from tuak (palm wine) intentionally fermented to be alcoholic. 1) The Science — why trace alcohol appears Fruits and saps are rich in sugars. Wild yeasts and microbes can convert some sugars into ethanol and CO₂ (fermentation), especially when produce is warm, overripe,...

🏠 When a Home Is Fenced, and Someone Forces Their Way In If you own a home and build a fence, anyone who crosses it without permission is trespassing — no matter how noble their stated intention. That simple principle of sovereignty, which we apply to our homes, also applies to nations. Israel has one main port and full sovereignty over its land and sea borders. Palestine, meanwhile, is split — Gaza borders the Mediterranean and Egypt; the West Bank is landlocked next to Jordan. There are international waters , but to enter a nation’s territorial waters, one must have diplomatic clearance , just as one needs a passport to cross a land border. So when a flotilla of 13 small boats tried to “deliver aid” by sea into Gaza, bypassing official crossings, Israel viewed it as an unauthorized entry  — a direct breach of its declared blockade zone. Under international law, that act is closer to trespassing  than to “humanitarian rescue.” ...
