Prescene 6 - The Night of Power - Lailatul Qadr

In Surah Al-Qadr (Chapter 97) of the Holy Quran, Allah said:

1. We have indeed revealed this (Message) in the Night of Power.
2. And what will explain to thee what the Night of Power is?
3. The Night of Power is better than a thousand Months.
4. Therein come down the angels and the Spirit by Allah's permission, on every errand:
5. Peace!... This until the rise of Morn!

Based on the consensus of the Ulamaks, Lailatul Qadr will occur on one night in the holy month of Ramadhan.

Good deeds performed during the Night of Power (Lailatul Qadr) would be rewarded equivalent to deeds performed over a period of a thousand months.

The whole world will be calm during the occurrence of Lailatul Qadr.

However, a night time at one place would mean a daytime at another.

Hence, in my opinion, the Night of Power will continue throughout a period of at least 24 hours, covering the night time of every inch of the globe. Of course, a person on the ground would only experience his own period of night time, and be blessed with the deeds that he performed during his own period of Lailatul Qadr.

Allah has indicated that the Peace would prevail throughout the occurrence of Lailatul Qadr. I believe that the earth would become very calm during the occurrence of Lailatul Qadr.

And I believe that there would not be any earthquakes throughout Lailatul Qadr, as an indication that the earth is in peace and is celebrating the Night of Power.

Jurublog’s Prescene 6 (a.k.a. the Lailatul Qadr Hypothesis) states that:

“During the Holy Month of Ramadhan, there will be a period of at least 24 hours in which there will be no occurrence of earthquakes throughout the entire world. That period will indicate the Night of Power or Lailatul Qadr. For avoidance of doubt, the period of calmness would cover an entire night in the Holy City of Makkah (i.e. from sunset until dawn).”

Prescene 5 - A woman Vice Chancellor for USM

Professor Asma Ismail is currently the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Research and Innovation) of Universiti Sains Malaysia. She has very impressive credentials, both academically and through her breakthrough inventions. Her push for R-D-C-E mindset among her students and fellow lecturers spurred an increase in research and development activities in USM, with some having potential for commercialisation. (Note: R-D-C-E stands for Research, Development, Commercialisation and Entrepreneurship).

Prof Asma would be a prime candidate for the post of Vice Chancellor for USM. All the best to her.

Prescene 4 - Bernas II and Puspakom II

Syed Mokhtar has at least two monopoly businesses: Bernas and Puspakom. Both will be under constant and rigorous attacks.

Khairy and his gang would probably be aiming for rice import APs. This will mean a break of exclusivity given to Bernas. Government may allow creation of Bernas II.

Puspakom has exclusivity in vehicle inspection. MCA would probably be eyeing for equity interest in Puspakom, given that most vehicle workshop owners are Chinese. The recent swoop by ACA on Puspakom may add pressure on Puspakom, especially from MCA-led Transport Ministry. Syed Mokhtar may either have to dispose some equity to the Chinese or be prepared for Puspakom II.

Prescene 3 - Aseambankers and Binafikir

When Wahid was appointed Maybank’s CEO, I told my friends to expect Binafikir to be injected into Aseambankers. That has happened.

Now that that Binafikir has been acquired by Aseambankers, with Danny and Feisal at the helm, expect more deal flows from Khazanah-controlled GLCs to be given to Aseambankers.

Currently, CIMB has near-monopoly of mandates from Khazanah. That may be a thing of the past.

Prescene 2 - Anwar and the defectors

Anwar will make full use of his second day as the Opposition Leader to rattle Barisan Nasional's confidence. He will make full use of the live TV telecast for Budget speech and make his presence felt.

Anwar will make a cliffhanger announcement on the impending defections of Barisan's MPs to Pakatan Rakyat. Thus, he will claim that by the time the Parliament is back in session after Ramadhan, Pakatan Rakyat will be in control of the federal government.

Expect some of the probable defection candidates to make statements either attacking the current government or in support of Pakatan. That includes Anifah Aman.

Anwar's aim is to ensure Barisan remains unsettled throughout the adjournment of Parliament.

Prescene 1 - Anwar's Permatang Pauh win

Anwar will win the Permatang Pauh by-elections. Any results to the contrary will be loudly claimed as rigged and will not be accepted by the US and the international community.

Anwar will take swipe of the Federal Government's machinery despite his win in the by-election, especially in case of reduced majority.

He will again reiterate his confidence of forming the new federal government, maintaining the 16 September 2008's Malaysia Day timing.
