Sejarah Ayat Kursi
SEJARAH AYAT KURSI
Ayat ini diturunkan setelah hijrah. Semasa penurunannya ia telah diiringi oleh beribu-ribu malaikat kerana kehebatan dan kemuliaannya. Syaitan dan iblis juga menjadi gempar kerana adanya satu perintang dalam perjuangan mereka. Rasullah s. a. w. dengan segera memerintahkan Zaid bt sabit menulis serta menyebarkannya.
Sesiapa yang membaca ayat Kursi dengan khusyuk setiap kali selepas sembahyang fardhu, setiap pagi dan petang, setiap kali keluar masuk rumah atau hendak musafir, InsyaAllah akan terpeliharalah dirinya dari godaan syaitan, kejahatan manusia, binatang buas yang akan memudaratkan dirinya bahkan keluarga, anak-anak, harta bendanya juga akan terpelihara dengan izin Allah s. w. t.
Mengikut keterangan dari kitab'Asraarul Mufidah' sesiapa mengamalkan membacanya setiap hari sebanyak 18 kali maka akan dibukakan dadanya dengan berbagai hikmah, dimurahkan rezekinya, dinaikkan darjatnya dan diberikannya pengaruh sehingga semua orang akan menghormatinya serta terpelihara ia dari segala bencana dengan izin Allah. Syeikh Abu Abbas ada menerangkan, siapa yang membacanya sebanyak 50 kali lalu ditiupkannya pada air hujan kemudian diminumnya, InsyaAllah Allah akan mencerdaskan akal fikirannya serta Fadhilat Ayat Al-Kursi mengikut Hadis-Hadis Rasullullah s. a. w.. bersabda bermaksud:
'Sesiapa pulang ke rumahnya serta membaca ayat Kursi, Allah hilangkan segala
kefakiran di depan matanya.'
Sabda baginda lagi;
'Umatku yang membaca ayat Kursi 12 kali pada pagi Jumaat, kemudian berwuduk dan sembahyang sunat dua rakaat, Allah memeliharanya daripada kejahatan syaitan dan kejahatan pembesar.'
Orang yang selalu membaca ayat Kursi dicintai dan dipelihara Allah sebagaimana DIA memelihara Nabi Muhammad. Mereka yang beramal dengan bacaan ayat Kursi akan mendapat pertolongan serta perlindungan Allah daripada gangguan serta hasutan syaitan. Pengamal ayat Kursi juga, dengan izin Allah, akan terhindar daripada pencerobohan pencuri. Ayat Kursi menjadi benteng yang kuat menyekat pencuri daripada memasuki rumah. Mengamalkan bacaan ayat
Kursi juga akan memberikan keselamatan ketika dalam perjalanannya. Ayat Kursi yang dibaca dengan penuh khusyuk, Insya-Allah, boleh menyebabkan syaitan dan jin terbakar. Jika anda berpindah ke rumah baru maka pada malam pertama anda menduduki rumah itu eloklah anda membaca ayat Kursi 100 kali, insya-Allah mudah-mudahan anda sekeluarga terhindar daripada gangguan lahir dan batin. Barang siapa membaca ayat Al-Kursi apabila berbaring di tempat tidurnya, Allah mewakilkan 2 orang Malaikat memeliharanya hingga subuh.
Barang siapa membaca ayat Al-Kursi di akhir setiap sembahyang Fardhu, ia akan berada dalam lindungan Allah hingga sembahyang yang lain. Barang siapa membaca ayat Al-Kursi di akhir tiap sembahyang, tidak menegah akan dia daripada masuk syurga kecuali maut, dan barang siapa membacanya ketika hendak tidur, Allah memelihara akan dia ke atas rumahnya, rumah jirannya & ahli rumah2 di sekitarnya. Barang siapa membaca ayat Al-Kursi diakhir tiap-tiap sembahyang Fardhu, Allah menganugerahkan dia hati-hati orang yang bersyukur perbuatan2 orang yang benar, pahala nabi2 juga Allah melimpahkan padanya rahmat. Barang siapa membaca ayat Al-Kursi sebelum keluar rumahnya, maka Allah mengutuskan 70,000 Malaikat kepadanya, mereka semua memohon keampunan dan mendoakan baginya. Barang siapa membaca ayat Al-Kursi di akhir sembahyang Allah azza wajalla akan mengendalikan pengambilan rohnya dan ia adalah seperti orang yang berperang bersama nabi Allah sehingga mati syahid. Barang siapa yang membaca ayat al-Kursi ketika dalam kesempitan nescaya Allah berkenan memberi pertolongan kepadanya Dari Abdullah bin 'Amr r. a. , Rasullullah s. a. w. bersabda,

Ancaman Bahaya Florida
APA ITU FLUORIDA?
Fluorida merupakan sisa keluaran industri baja, sejenis racun tikus dan digunakan dalam sektor industri sebagai racun serangga untuk menghapuskan semut dan lipas. Fluorida merupakan racun tersembunyi (seperti sianida) yang memudaratkan, bertoksik dan mampu berkumpul sungguhpun hanya sedikit ditelan.
MENGAPA FLUORIDA BERBAHAYA?
Pentadbiran Makanan & Ubatan Amerika (FDA) menganggap fluorida sebagai "ubat baru yang tidak diluluskan" kerana tidak ada bukti mengenai keselamatan mahupun keberkesanannya.
Sesetengah kumpulan berkepentingan awam seperti Akademi Antarabangsa Bagi Ubatan, Makanan & Toksikologi (pertubuhan bukan kerajaan Kanada yang membiayai penyelidikan mengenai bahan bertoksik yang digunakan dalam pergigian) telah mengkelaskan fluorida sebagai "ubat untuk pergigian yang tidak diluluskan" disebabkan kadar keracunannya tinggi.
Satu tinjauan yang dijalankan pada tahun 1997 dengan bantuan pengeluar ubat gigi dan Persatuan Pergigian Amerika Syarikat mendapati purata orang yang memberus gigi dengan ubat gigi berfluorida walaupun sedikit (1 gram) mengikut sukatan yang disarankan, menelan antara 0.3-0.4 mg fluorida setiap kali memberus gigi.
Ini bermakna anda menerima hampir separuh daripada kadar harian fluorida yang diterima cuma dengan memberus sekali sehari, tanpa membabitkan sumber lain.
MENGAPA KITA TIDAK MEMERLUKAN FLUORIDA PADA UBAT GIGI?
Dos fluorida harian yang diterima melalui pemakanan sudah mencukupi keperluan seseorang. Pihak berkuasa di Malaysia telah menambahkan fluorida kedalam sistem bekalan pengairan dan oleh sebab yang demikian, setiap titis air dalam bentuk teh, kopi, minuman berais dan sebagainya menyumbang kepada penambahan fluorida sedia ada. Makanan harian seperti sayuran juga terdedah kepada fluorida melalui racun serangga dan lain-lain. Fluorida juga terdapat pada tulang ikan seperti ikan bilis dan sardin. Sebagai rumusan, makanan lazim harian telah membekalkan sumber fluorida yang mencukupi untuk keperluan kita. Oleh sebab yang demikian, kita tidak lagi memerlukan tambahan fluorida melalui ubat gigi atau ubat kumur dan ini akan mendatangkan kemudaratan terhadap kesihatan seseorang itu.
KES MAHKAMAH
Kesan-kesan buruk fluorida pada masa lalu pernah dibawa ke mahkamah. Apa yang dipercayai merupakan yang pertama. Colgate-Palmolive membayar pampasan sebanyak £1,000 (kini dianggarkan kira-kira RM 6,000) kepada keluarga seorang kanak-kanak berusia 10 tahun di Essex, England yang menderitai masalah "Dental Fluorosis" (enamel kotor dan berkarat), iaitu antara tanda pertama keracunan fluorida.
PENYELIDIKAN AWAM
Penyelidikan yang dijalankan pada pertengahan tahun 90-an oleh bekas ketua bahagian kimia Institut Penyelidikan Kanser Kebangsaan Amerika, mendapati kira-kira 10,000 kematian akibat kanser yang dikaitkan dengan penggunaan fluorida berlaku setiap tahun di Amerika Syarikat.
Penyelidikan yang dijalankan di Amerika Syarikat bagi Program Toksikologi Kebangsaan (NTP) pada tahun 1990-1991 menunjukkan kecenderungan peningkatan dalam osteosarkoma (salah satu kanser peringkat awal yang menyerang kanak-kanak) dalam tikus jantan yang diberikan fluorida. Menurut NTP, fluorida berkemungkinan bahan penyebab kanser kepada manusia."
AMARAN & PANDUAN
Pada tahun 1997, FDA telah menetapkan setiap Ubat gigi berfluorida yang dijual di Amerika Syarikat perlu meletakkan tanda amaran racun/bahaya:
"WARNING: KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN UNDER 6 YEARS OF AGE. IF YOU ACCIDENTALLY SWALLOW MORE THAN USED FOR BRUSHING, SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP OR CONTACT A POISON CONTROL CENTER IMMEDIATELY."
/
“AMARAN: JAUHKAN DARI KANAK-KANAK BERUMUR 6 TAHUN KEBAWAH, SEKIRANYA TERTELAN MELEBIHI DOS YANG DITETAPKAN, SILA DAPATKAN RAWATAN PAKAR ATAU HUBUNGI PUSAT KAWALAN RACUN DENGAN SEGERA”
FLUORIDA MAMPU MENYEBABKAN:
- Kematian
- Kanser
- Ruam Kulit
- Luka Kanser
- Kelunturan Warna Gigi
- Masalah Gastrik
- Penyebab atau Membantu Menyebabkan Kerapuhan Tulang
- Keracunan Saraf
- Kanser Tulang
- Keretakan Tulang
- Membantu Menyebabkan Kekurangan IQ di Kalangan Kanak-kanak
- Meransang Masalah Buah Pinggang di Kalangan Pesakit
BAHAYA KEPADA KANAK-KANAK?-SEMESTINYA!
Memandangkan fluorida mampu meresap menerusi gusi dan kanak-kanak di bawah usia 7 tahun yang menelan 50% daripada ubat gigi ketika memberusnya (mengikut kajian), dan memandangkan fluorida turut terkandung dalam air dan pelbagai produk lain (seperti ubat kumur), kita terus terdedah kepada risiko kanser apabila memakai ubat gigi berfluorida.

History Of Mother's Day Wajarkah Orang Islam Meraikannya?
The history of Mother's Day is centuries old and the earliest Mother's Day celebrations can be traced back to the spring celebrations of ancient Greece in honor of Rhea, the Mother of the Gods. During the 1600's, the early Christians in England celebrated a day to honor Mary, the mother of Christ. By a religious order the holiday was later expanded in its scope to include all mothers, and named as the Mothering Sunday. Celebrated on the 4th Sunday of Lent (the 40 day period leading up to Easter), "Mothering Sunday" honored the mothers of England.
During this time many of the England's poor worked as servants for the wealthy. As most jobs were located far from their homes, the servants would live at the houses of their employers. On Mothering Sunday, the servants would have the day off and were encouraged to return home and spend the day with their mothers. A special cake, called the mothering cake, was often brought along to provide a festive touch.
As Christianity spread throughout Europe the celebration changed to honor the "Mother Church" - the spiritual power that gave them life and protected them from harm. Over time the church festival blended with the Mothering Sunday celebration . People began honoring their mothers as well as the church.
With the passage of time, the practice of this fantastic tradition ceased slowly. The English colonists settled in America discontinued the tradition of Mothering Sunday because of lack of time.
In the United States, Mother's Day was loosely inspired by the British day and was first suggested after the American Civil War by social activist Julia Ward Howe. Howe (who wrote the words to the Battle hymn of the Republic) was horrified by the carnage of the Civil War and the Franco-Prussian War and so, in 1870, she tried to issue a manifesto for peace at international peace conferences in London and Paris (it was much like the later Mother's Day Peace Proclamation). During the Franco-Prussian war in the 1870s, Julia began a one-woman peace crusade and made an impassioned "appeal to womanhood" to rise against war. She composed in Boston a powerful plea that same year (generally considered to be the original Mothers' Day proclamation*) translated it into several languages and distributed it widely. In 1872, she went to London to promote an international Woman's Peace Congress. She began promoting the idea of a "Mother's Day for Peace" to be celebrated on June 2, honoring peace, motherhood and womanhood. In the Boston Mass, she initiated a Mothers' Peace Day observance on the second Sunday in June, a practice that was to be established as an annual event and practiced for at least 10 years. The day was, however, mainly intended as a call to unite women against war. It was due to her efforts that in 1873, women in 18 cities in America held a Mother's Day for Pace gathering. Howe rigorously championed the cause of official celebration of Mothers Day and declaration of official holiday on the day. She held meetings every year at Boston on Mother's Peace Day and took care that the day was well-observed. The celebrations died out when she turned her efforts to working for peace and women's rights in other ways. Howe failed in her attempt to get the formal recognition of a Mother's Day for Peace. Her remarkable contribution in the establishment of Mother's Day, however, remains in the fact that she organized a Mother's Day dedicated to peace. It is a landmark in the history of Mother's Day in the sense that this was to be the precursor to the modern Mother's Day celebrations. To acknowledge Howe's achievements a stamp was issued in her honor in 1988.
It should be well to remember that Howe's idea was influenced by Ann Marie Reeves Jarvis, a young Appalachian homemaker who, starting in 1858, had attempted to improve sanitation through what she called "Mothers Friendship Day". In the 1900's, at a time when most women devoted their time solely on their family and homes, Jarvis was working to assist in the healing of the nation after the Civil War. She organized women throughout the Civil War to work for better sanitary conditions for both sides and in 1868 she began work to reconcile Union and Confederate neighbors. Ann was instrumental in saving thousands of lives by teaching women in her Mothers Friendship Clubs the basics of nursing and sanitation which she had learned from her famous physician brother James Reeves, M.D. In parts of the United States it was customary to plant tomatoes outdoors after Mother's Work Days (and not before).
It was Jarvis' daughter, Anna Jarvis, who finally succeeded in introducing Mother's Day in the sense as we celebrate it today. Anna graduated from the Female Seminary in Wheeling and taught in Grafton for a while. Later she moved to Philadelphia with her family. Anna had spent many years looking after her ailing mother. This is why she preferred to remain a spinster. When her mother died in Philadelphia on May 9, 1905, Anna missed her greatly. So did her sister Elsinore whom she looked after as well. Anna felt children often neglected to appreciate their mother enough while the mother was still alive. Now, she intended to start a Mother's Day, as an honoring of the mothers. In 1907, two years after her mother's death, Anna Jarvis disclosed her intention to her friends who supported her cause wholeheartedly. So supported by her friends, Anna decided to dedicate her life to her mother's cause and to establish Mother's Day to "honor mothers, living and dead." She started the campaign to establish a national Mother's Day. With her friends, she started a letter-writing campaign to urge ministers, businessmen and congressmen in declaring a national Mother's Day holiday. She hoped Mother's Day would increase respect for parents and strengthen family bonds.
As a result of her efforts the first mother's day was observed on May 10, 1908, by a church service honoring Late Mrs. Reese Jarvis, in the Andrews Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia, where she spent 20 years taking Sunday school classes. Grafton is the home to the International Mother's Day Shrine. Another service was also conducted on the same date in Philadelphia where Mrs. Jarvis died, leaving her two daughters Anna and Elsinore. So it was more of a homage service for Mrs. Reeves Jarvis than a general one conducted in honor of motherhood. Nevertheless, this set the stage for the later Mother's Day observances held in the honor of motherhood.
Following this, it gained a widespread popularity across the nation. The Mother's Day International Association came into being on December 12, 1912, to promote and encourage meaningful observances of the event. Anna's dream came true when on May 9, 1914, the Presidential proclamation declared the 2nd Sunday of May to be observed as Mother's Day to honor the mothers.
It was here in the first observance that the carnations were introduced by Miss Jarvis. Large jars of white carnations were set about the platform where the service was conducted. At the end of the exercise one of these white carnations was given to each person present as a souvenir of Mother's Day. All this was done because the late elder Jarvis was fond of carnations.
From there, the custom caught on -- spreading eventually to 45 states. The first Mother's Day proclamation was issued by the governor of West Virginia in 1910. Oklahoma celebrated it in that same year. It stirred the same way in as far west as the state of Washington. And by 1911 there was not a state in the Union that did not have its own observances for Mother's Day. Soon it crossed the national boundary, as people in Mexico, Canada, South America, China, Japan and Africa all joined the spree to celebrate a day for mother love.
The Mother's Day International Association came into being on December 12, 1912, to promote and encourage meaningful observances of the event. Starting from 1912, Mother's day began to be officially declared a holiday by some states. Anna's dream came true when in 1914, President Woodrow Wilson declared the first national Mother's Day, as a day for American citizens to show the flag in honor of those mothers whose sons had died in war.
The House of Representatives in May 1913 unanimously adopted a resolution requesting the President, his cabinet, the members of both Houses and all officials of the federal government to wear a white carnation on Mother's Day. On May 7,1914, a resolution providing that the second Sunday in May be designated Mother's Day was introduced by Representative James T. Heflin of Alabama and Senator Morris Sheppard of Texas. It passed both Houses and on May 9, 1914, President Woodrow Wilson made the first official announcement proclaiming Mother's Day as a national holiday that was to be held each year on the 2nd Sunday of May. He asked Americans to give a public expression of reverence to mothers through the celebration of Mother's Day:
"Now, Therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the said Joint Resolution, do hereby direct the government officials to display the United States flag on all government buildings and do invite the people of the United States to display the flag at their homes or other suitable places on the second Sunday in May as a public expression of our love and reverence for the mothers of our country."
And issuing a Mother's day Proclamation has since then been a convention.
Nine years after the first official Mother's Day, commercialization of the U.S. holiday became so rampant that Anna Jarvis herself became a major opponent of what the holiday had become. While honored for her part in the growth of the holiday, Anna Jarvis' last life was miserable. As the observance of Mother's Day enjoyed increasing popularity, new dimensions came to be added to it. This made Anna Jarvis disillusioned with her own creation. Though the original spirit of honoring the mothers remained the same, what began as a religious service expanded quickly into a more secular observance leading to giving of flowers, cards, and gifts. And Anna Jarvis was unable to cope with this changing mode of expression.
In 1934 Postmaster General James A. Farley announced a stamp to commemorate Mother's Day. The stamp featured the famous painting "Arrangement in Grey and Black". The painting was a portrait of the mother of James Abbott McNeill Whistler, an English artist. It was brought in to the United States as part of an exhibit in the year 1934.
Mother's Day continues to this day to be one of the most commercially successful U.S. occasions. According to the National Restaurant Association, Mother's Day is now the most popular day of the year to dine out at a restaurant in the United States. The occasion is now celebrated not so much with flags as with gifts, cards, hugs, thank yous and other tokens of affection. While many countries of the world celebrate their own Mother's Day on different days and at different times throughout the year, there are some countries such as Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, and Belgium which also celebrate Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May. In some countries, the appreciation lasts for two days.
Today, Mother's Day is a day honoring mothers, celebrated on various days in many places around the world. It is the day when you acknowledge your mothers contribution in your life and pay a tribute to her, often with flowers and gifts. It complements Father's Day, the celebration honoring fathers.

Keputusan Kabinet tindas 'saudara baru' - Dr Asri
KUALA LUMPUR, 4 Mei (Hrkh) - Keputusan kabinet baru berhubung status agama anak dilihat lebih dipengaruhi oleh perkembangan politik kepartian dan undi tanpa melihat kepada sudut keadilan untuk semua.
Menurut bekas Mufti Perlis Dr. Asri Zainul Abidin keputusan itu dianggap sebagai penindasan terhadap 'saudara baru' dan boleh menakutkan mereka yang ingin menganut Islam.
"Dalam kegilaan mendapatkan undi, jangan digadai masa depan umat Islam dan keharmonian agama dalam negara.
"Sekali lagi saya tegaskan, golongan 'saudara baru' dalam negara ini tidak mendapat layanan yang sepatutnya dan pihak yang berrtanggungjawab terutama yang menguruskan zakat dan badan-badan agama kerajaan pusat dan negeri tidak menyibukkan diri dalam menjaga kebajikan mereka dan usaha dakwah dalam memahamkan rakyat Malaysia tentang Islam yang sebenar," kata beliau dalam tulisannya kepada sebuah akhbar online.
Beliau meminta pihak Kabinet menilai balik keputusan tersebut dan juga pihak-pihak agama dalam negara memainkan peranan yang sepatutnya dalam memberikan keadilan kepada 'saudara baru'.
Dr Asri juga berkata jika Fatwa Kebangsaan JAKIM boleh membuat sidang fatwa segera tentang 'dakwat pilihan raya' mengapa tidak Pengerusi Fatwa Kebangsaan tersebut tidak memberikan pandangan para mufti dengan segera dan jelas dalam hal ini.
"Malanglah jika isu penkid dan yoga digembar-gembur, tetapi isu keadilan hak saudara baru dilewat-lewatkan," katanya Sebelum itu, beliau menyatakan bahawa isu agama anak tidak sepatutnya ditimbulkan melainkan ketika wujud perselisihan antara pasangan sahaja dan menyerahkan kepada pihak mahkamah untuk memutuskannya.
"Anak sepatutnya diberi peluang untuk mengenai Islam setelah ibu atau bapa menganut Islam. Peruntukan zakat muallaf secara besar perlu diberikan untuk ini. Zakat bukan lawatan hujung tahun dan penukaran kereta baru para pegawai.
"Malanglah keputusan kabinet ini boleh menghalang dakwah seorang bapa atau ibu kepada anak berkenaan," katanya yang kini masih berada di Lampeter, United Kingdom. - azm _

Budu Petua Cantik
Sos ikan bilis yang diperam hingga hancur telah lama menjadi kegemaran masyarakat Pantai Timur. Kini makanan tradisional itu mendapat kebanggaan baru – dipeketkan dan dijadikan produk kecantikan.
BUDU sangat sinonim dengan masyarakat Kelantan. Dikatakan, hampir setiap keluarga di negeri itu mempunyai sekurang-kurangnya sebotol budu di dapur mereka.
“Walaupun keluarga saya berketurunan Cina, namun kami selalu makan budu bersama ikan bakar dan ulam-ulaman,” akui Tan Chia Ying, 22.
Beliau yang tinggal di Kampung Panji, Kota Bharu, tidak malu mengaku makan budu sejak kecil. Keluarganya sering menyediakan budu yang diperah limau nipis dan dicampur cili api dan bawang.
“Bukan sesuatu yang ganjil sekiranya melihat masyarakat Cina di Kelantan makan budu. Malah ramai kenalan saya yang berketurunan Cina meminati budu,” katanya yang berkulit putih gebu.
Kartilawati Subari, 40, pula berkata, beliau sentiasa menyimpan bekalan budu di rumahnya untuk dihidangkan kepada keluarga.
Terang beliau, walaupun budu merupakan makanan tradisional namun ia mempunyai banyak khasiat tetapi kurang didedahkan.
“Budu dikatakan menyumbang kepada kecantikan dan awet muda,” ujarnya sambil tersenyum.
Bagi seorang usahawan, Mat Ismail, 57, permintaan budu yang tidak pernah putus itu adalah satu idea perniagaan yang hebat.

“Budu dikatakan menyumbang kepada kecantikan dan awet muda,” ujarnya sambil tersenyum.
Bagi seorang usahawan, Mat Ismail, 57, permintaan budu yang tidak pernah putus itu adalah satu idea perniagaan yang hebat.
Pada tahun 1978, Mat mula membuat budu secara kecil-kecilan di belakang rumahnya di Kampung Geting, Tumpat dengan bermodalkan RM1,500. Beliau menubuhkan syarikat Perusahaan Warisan Ketereh dan menggunakan biji ketereh sebagai tanda niaganya.
Selepas 30 tahun, ternyata budu telah memberi banyak kebanggaan kepada beliau.
Ia bukan semata-mata kerana beliau kini tinggal di rumah banglo dan memandu kereta Mercedes Benz.
Sebaliknya, Budu Ketereh beliau menjadi budu pertama negara ini yang diiktiraf sebagai harta intelek. Kejayaan itu dicapai pada tahun 2007.
Berikutan pengiktirafan Perbadanan Harta Intelek Malaysia (PHIM) itu, Budu Ketereh kini dilindungi mengikut Akta Perlabelan.
Budu Ketereh juga digunakan oleh Institut Standard dan Penyelidikan Perindustrian Malaysia (Sirim) untuk menghasilkan produk kosmetik.
Buat masa ini, Mat mempunyai sebuah kilang budu di atas tanah seluas 0.8 hektar dengan dibantu 40 orang pekerja.
Empat daripada lapan anaknya hasil perkahwinan dengan Kamariah Hussein, 45, turut melibatkan diri dalam perniagaan itu.
Menurut Mat, proses membuat budu adalah ringkas iaitu hanya mengunakan ikan bilis, garam dan gula.
Katanya, kerja memproses budu dimulakan dari bulan Jun hingga November kerana ia merupakan musim ikan bilis.
ADAKAH rahsia kehalusan kulit wanita Kelantan kerana mereka mengambil budu setiap hari?
“Dalam tempoh tersebut, kerja-kerja pembersihan dan pengasingan ikan bilis dilakukan oleh pekerja di bahagian pelantar kilang yang dibina di tebing sungai sebelum diangkut ke darat.
“Ikan bilis itu digaul dengan garam dan diperam selama enam bulan di dalam tong gentian kaca atau dalam kolah yang diperbuat daripada simen,” katanya yang kini memiliki 20 buah tong gentian kaca berukuran 1.2 meter tinggi dan 2 meter lebar.
Khabarnya, Mat merancang untuk membeli 200 buah tong lagi.
Penggunaan tong gentian kaca disarankan oleh Sirim bagi meningkatkan kebersihan produk berbanding kolah simen.
Bulan Disember hingga Mei pula adalah masa untuk memasak, menapis dan membotolkan makanan itu.
Selepas budu dimasak, ia ditapis dan disejukkan selama beberapa jam sebelum dibotolkan menggunakan tenaga mesin dan manusia.
Secara purata, kilang Budu Ketereh mampu mengeluarkan 12,000 botol budu sehari untuk memenuhi pasaran di seluruh Malaysia.
Bekalan bilis makin kurang
Bagaimanapun, Mat mengakui kekurangan ikan bilis menyebabkan pengeluaran budunya agak terhad.
Secara purata beliau memerlukan bekalan ikan bilis sebanyak tiga hingga empat tan sebulan, namun bekalan yang diperoleh sejak kebelakangan ini sekitar satu tan sahaja.
“Saya terpaksa membeli ikan bilis dari Sabah untuk memenuhi permintaan.
“Ikan bilis di perairan negara kita semakin berkurangan dan pada masa yang sama banyak kawasan pulau telah diwartakan sebagai Taman Laut Negara,” katanya yang menambah budu yang baik bergantung pada kualiti ikan bilis yang dibekalkan.
Pada awal tahun ini, Mat membeli sebuah mesin pembungkusan baru berharga RM45,000 untuk memasarkan budu dalam bentuk peket.
Budu yang diusahakan oleh Mat Ismail merupakan budu yang pertama di negara ini yang dimodenkan penampilannya hasil bantuan Sirim dan Perbadanan Pembangunan Industri Kecil dan Sederhana (SMIDEC).
Menurut Mat, idea untuk memasarkan budu di dalam peket muncul selepas beliau mendapati kebanyakan produk seperti kopi segera kelihatan lebih moden dan ringkas apabila dipeketkan.
“Selain itu, budu yang disimpan di dalam botol agak sukar dipasarkan ke negara luar kerana ia tidak boleh dibawa dengan kapal terbang.
“Dengan pembungkusan menggunakan teknik lebih canggih, saya berharap Budu Ketereh mampu menembusi pasaran antarabangsa sedikit masa lagi,” katanya.
Mat berkata, mesin pembungkusan baru itu mengeluarkan budu dalam dua peket berbeza iaitu kandungan 20 mililiter dan 80 mililiter. “Dalam sehari mesin itu boleh mengeluarkan lebih 1,000 peket budu,” katanya.
Budu cerahkan kulit dan antipenuaan
RAUT wajah Penyelidik Kanan Alam Sekitar dan Bioproses, Pusat Teknologi Sirim, Hamidah Sidek kelihatan seperti gadis 20-an walaupun umur sebenarnya adalah 40 tahun.
Apabila ditanya rahsia awet mudanya, graduan dalam bidang pertanian dari Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) itu berkata, beliau pada mulanya menggunakan produk kecantikan terkenal.
“Namun kini saya beralih kepada makan budu setiap kali makan tengah hari dan makan malam,” katanya.
HAMIDAH menunjukkan produk kosmetik dengan jenama BK yang turut mengandungi budu.
Menurut Hamidah, dalam kajian yang dilakukannya selama dua tahun bersama 10 penyelidik Sirim yang lain, makanan tradisional itu mampu mengekalkan wajah muda seseorang.
“Proses penapaian budu menguraikan bahan organik kepada peptida dan asid amino yang menyumbang kepada rasa dan aroma lazat serta mempunyai nilai kosmetik.
“Ia berkesan sebagai agen mencerahkan kulit dan antipenuaan. Semua ini berlaku kerana ekstrak marin daripada budu berupaya melawan radikal bebas, merangsang pertambahan sel kulit dan menggalakkan penghasilan kolagen.
“Ia juga mampu melindungi kulit daripada sinaran matahari,” terang beliau yang telah melakukan kajian makmal dan ujian ke atas 25 individu.
Sebahagian besar individu yang diuji mendapati wajah mereka semakin cerah, bintik jerawat berkurangan dan menyelesaikan masalah kulit berminyak.
Produk kosmetik budu Sirim terbahagi kepada tiga iaitu pembersih dan penyegar, krim kulit dan serum kecantikan kulit. Ia menggunakan jenama BK iaitu Budu Kelantan atau Budu Ketereh.
“Walaupun hanya satu peratus ekstrak budu digunakan sebagai bahan asas kosmetik tetapi ia berkesan kerana komponen itu sudah cukup untuk memberi khasiat kepada pemakainya.
“Malah kami kini mengkaji potensi tempe sebagai produk kosmetik,” katanya.
Hamidah berharap produk BK akan mendapat sambutan daripada pengguna kelak sebaik sahaja Sirim bertemu syarikat yang berminat untuk mengedarkannya. ~Kosmo~
What is swine flu?
What is swine flu?
It is a respiratory disease affecting pigs that is caused by type A influenza virus. Most outbreaks occur during the late fall and winter months, similar to influenza outbreaks in humans.
Does it affect humans?
Swine flu viruses very rarely affect humans. However, sporadic human infections with swine flu have occurred. These cases commonly occur in people with direct exposure to pigs.
How does it spread to humans?
It spreads to humans mainly through contact with infected pigs.
Can people catch swine flu from eating pork?
There is currently no evidence to suggest that swine flu can be transmitted to humans from eating pork or pork products that have been thoroughly cooked.
What are the symptoms?
The symptoms of swine flu are similar to the symptoms of regular influenza. An early symptom is high fever, and this is followed by cough, sore throat, runny nose, and sometimes breathlessness a few days later.
How can the infections be diagnosed?
A respiratory specimen would be collected within the first four to five days of illness, when the infected person is most likely to be shedding the virus. However, some, especially children, may shed the virus for 10 days or longer.
What medications are available to treat the infection?
There are four different antiviral drugs that are licensed for use in Singapore: amantadine, rimantadine, oseltamivir and zanamivir.
While most swine flu viruses have been susceptible to all four drugs, the most recent swine flu viruses isolated from humans are resistant to amantadine and rimantadine. At this time, the US CDC recommends the use of oseltamivir (Tamiflu) or zanamivir (Relenza) for the treatment and/or prevention of infection with swine flu viruses.
What is MOH doing to ensure that the disease is not transmitted here?
A medical alert has been sent out to all medical practitioners and health-care institutions to update them on the outbreak of swine flu in the United States and Mexico.
When the situation warrants, MOH will step up public health measures, such as quarantine of contacts, issuing public health advisories, and working with other government agencies to screen visitors at Singapore's border checkpoints. MOH also has an influenza pandemic preparedness plan in the event of a pandemic situation.
Is it safe to visit countries with cases of swine flu and will I be quarantined when I return? What travel precautions should I take?
There are currently no travel restrictions or quarantine advised by the World Health Organisation. If you intend to travel to areas which have cases of swine flu, you should:
- Avoid contact with persons with symptoms of influenza
- Avoid crowded areas
- Observe good personal and environmental hygiene
- Maintain good body resistance
What should I do if I suspect I have swine flu after returning to Singapore?
You should consult your doctor immediately and inform the doctor that you had recently travelled to areas which have cases of swine flu.
What should I do if I fall ill overseas?
You should consult a doctor as soon as possible and refrain from travelling until you are certified fit by the doctor.
Does influenza vaccination help in preventing swine flu?
There is no vaccine to protect humans from swine flu. The seasonal influenza vaccine is unlikely to protect against H1N1 swine flu viruses..
Is it safe to come into contact with live pigs in nature reserves and the wildlife reserves?
So far, there are no known cases of swine flu in Singapore. However, proper hygiene practices, such as washing of hands after contact with animals, including pigs, should be maintained.
