Arwah Taju ....



He was one of the earlier pioneers who left Kg Lipat Kajang to seek his fortune elsewhere. He was the late Abdullah bin Hj Ahmad, more popularly known as Taju, a short form of Tajuddin.  Abdullah was his given name, a registered name and Tajuddin was the second name but not registered. Many in the kampong then have two names, one registered and another not registered. Why this happened .. have to look up into my blog .. 
and how did they do it? ...... well http://lipatkajang-pahang.blogspot.com/2009/01/different-name.html .......

Now back to the late Taju, he was the young, wild and restless in his days, late 40s and early 50s, he did not really want to go to school, and I think he was supposed to go somewhere to learn deep into the Islamic religion, he had a very religious family. Instead  he absconded to Singapore to join the Navy (Boys Wing). But he did not stay long in Singapore, he came back to Malaya but not to the kampong, instead he went to Kuala Lumpur, to the ‘bright light’,  and stayed for while with a family who originated from the kampong. And soon he got himself to be the cook at a hostel, and doing other odd jobs for the school. And he got married to his sweet heart in the kampong. I need not tell who his sweet heart was, everyone knows. As luck would have it, his wife became a cook (a good one at that) at the school hostel where he worked.  That was at Jalan Sulaiman Kuala Lumpur.


The late Taju and his wife were very kind hearted couple, and soon more youths from the kampong joined him in Kuala Lumpur, looking for jobs or even starting a career.  Mentioning a few, there was his nephew Marzuki and his friend Kamaruddin. And his house became the transit points for most of these youths, and many of us not familiar with the Kuala Lumpur streets and way of life came to stay with him for a night or two on transit. And he treated his ‘guest’ like kings, .... food and lodgings provided and bringing them anywhere in Kuala Lumpur where one wished to go. Bear in mind by then he already had small children. Ask many of the older generation, they will tell you about the late Taju in Kuala Lumpur. No one will say any unkind word on him.

Soon he ( and his wife ) moved on in their career, he became the Gardener and the Jaga at Setapak High School, Kula Lumpur and his wife became the Chief Cook, a position they held until they retired about 2 decades ago. And they even managed to buy some properties in Kuala Lumpur. To me the late Taju and his wife have very high achievement in their lives, if one considers that he was ‘uneducated’ and at the same time having friends and relatives who held high positions in the Goverment and the private sectors,  and most are from Kg Lipat Kajang.

He and his wife retired in Kuala Lumpur, the children having got married and have families of their own.  None returns to Kg Lipat Kajang. And the late Taju died in Kuala Lumpur and survives by his wife and his 2 children, and their families.

This essay is a record of our thanks to the late Taju, (and Saoma) and a recognition of our pride on him (and his wife), a thank you note and of whom we are all very proud of, and who himself had always been proud of Kg Lipat Kajang.

(Arwah Taju, seorang anak jati Kg. Lipat Kajang yang banyak antara kita warga Kg Lipat Kajang tidak tahu dan tidak ingat.  Tulisan dalam blog ini adalah untuk mengingati jasa jasa beliau kepada anak-anak Kg. Lipat Kajang yang mula mula berhijrah keluar dari Kg. Lipat Kajang, terutama sekali yang sentiasa berulang alek ke Kuala Lumpur)

An Alumni ...

 
26th Feb. 2011 was a historic day for Sekolah Kebangsaan (National School) Lipat Kajang, the primary school which once upon a time was known as Sekolah Melayu (Malay School) Lipat Kajang.  Whatever its called or was called, it serves the same purpose, to give the young children of 6 years old to 12 years old some education, an introduction to formal education Malaysian style.



I went to that school when it was opened in late 1940s and I left it in 1952 to go to a secondary school out of town. And I came back, with many of my colleague of almost the same time for that alumni gathering on 26 Feb. 2011. For all of us I believe it was a historical day, a day when we remembered the old days when we first gathered in that school just to get educated. And we left to roam the world ‘educated’ and ‘street wise’.


What we did at the gathering on the 26th Feb. 2011 was immaterial but the fact that there were more than a hundred attended was considered a success, males and females, from all over the country.  It was one of the most difficult task for the organisers to gather such a vast and diverse crowd whose common interest was SKLK (or SMLK in the old days). To the organisers we convey our appreciation, not only to get a suitable date, a suitable venue and to ensure that there was enough food and drinks to go around.  And the most difficult part was to keep the crowd interested. And this the organisers did very well.



And to those alumni who did not turn up, you have missed something that happens only on rare occasions.


Thank you again to all, former pupils, former teachers, present pupils, present teachers, and the kampong folks who gave their time and energy to ensue the success of the event. And not forgetting those who donated money and material.


And to those alumni who has already left us, we give our doa to them, and may Allah SWT keep them among those who are blessed.

When a by-election came to Lipat Kajang.


Every body was sad when their State Council representative passed away,  but that sadness did not last very long, as they say the soil at the graveyard has not yet turned dried when the Government announced that a by-election was to take place to replace that representative. And a by-election always means 'wealth' and 'development' to the kampong. Sickening really but that is the reality of life, an opportunity to make the society wealthy shall not be bypassed.

So the political parties chose their candidates and the campaigning began. And that party where and who has unlimited wealth started to promise the earth to win the election. The earth they did promised and every VVIP came flying into the village bringing along with them the 'earth'. Another sickening happenings. And the people had high expectations, hungry for 'wealth' and hungry for 'development. Like wolves they came in pack to and for  the VVIP. Its a festive time while it lasted, sickening and almost not even remembering the one who had just passed away.

In a by-election there is always two sides contesting, but the other candidate being poorer and not having the support of the Government of the day just only needed to look on forlorn, trying his best not to 'bribe' his voters. And dirty tactics are employed where each can, morality and dignity and ethic mostly thrown to the dogs.

The write up was done a few days prior to the voting day.
