Iman

Iman

yang ingin ku miliki 

adalah hadiah paling mahal rupanya

kerana ia kukuh berpaut

dari pertama kali bertaut

ku ingat ia hilang tapi ia tetap datang

ku ingat ia tenggelam tapi ia tetap pulang

biar banyak halangan tapi ia tetap terbang

ke sarang

Iman

yang ingin ku impi

dalam redha ia sudah sedia rupanya

membina hidup baru bersama

dengan kudrat yang ada

biarlah iman kekal di dada

biarlah iman segar di minda

biarlah iman menjadi satu yang setia

sampai bila bila

Iman itu satu anugerah

dari Allah

Iman itu adalah milik ku

sepanjang waktu

Iman itu tetap bersinar

tak pernah pudar

Wahai Iman....datang lah pada ku

seperti janji mu hari itu.......

New Development in Kimanis

It is so great news to locals in Kimanis, Papar, located nearly 50KM from KK, where Petronas is progressing in building up new Oil&Gas terminals. The project, so called Sabah Oil&Gas Terminals(SOGT) is under construction and expected to complete by end of this year. The plant would be tied up with Sabah/Sarawak Gas Pipeline(SSGP) project that would supplied most of the sources to Sabah.

The Kimanis area would be flooded with many new plants to cater the needs of the whole area, especially on the maintenance&operation requirement, coupled with new business or services, as what happened to Kerteh area in Terengganu in early 90s.

The other big project under going is Kimanis Power Plant(KPP) located adjacent to SOGT plant, where it would give sufficient supply of power to Kimanis area and up to KK.

Those projects, so far has given abundant job opportunities to the locals and Sabahans people mainly from Labuan. The manpower sources from Labuan is required as they have done another construction work under Petronas in MegaMethanol Plant which is the biggest methanol plant in Asia Pacific.The manpower also coming from Indonesia and South Philipines thus give us the opportunity to learn more language ascent apart from Bahasa Melayu. 'Bajau' and 'Suluk' dialects are the common heard among workers in construction site. 'Brunei' dialect is also found as the surrounding area of Kg Lanas, where the plant is located, is the home of 'Orang Brunei' in Sabah.

However, sometimes because of this multi language could create some disturbing stirs at site as the main contractor for this project is Samsung Engineering, with Korean language and the workers with local dialects. In effort to ease the situation is by employing site supervisors among locals who those could speak those dialects and abit of English.

today, the impact of this new development to the surrounding could be witnessed by the increasing cost of living. The rental rate of housing is increasing rapidly. The price of land is also trippled by value. The number of new restaurant is increasing and flourishing around the area. If you used to be here and always brought back 'ikan bilis' along the road, you could be surprised by the selling price today!

Having said that, the traditional way of life is still maintained with Islamic value to welcome all workers from around the globe to work here in Kimanis.The hope of 'good investment' from this projects to the locals is still under way and maybe Petronas could learn something from what had happened to Kerteh and try to do the right way for Kimanis.

Buat Yang Jauh Namun Tetap Bersauh

Usah lah terlalu terluka dengan apa yang ada
biarkan ia segar bersama
kerana inilah hakikat yang kita terima

buat yang jauh walau di hujung sana kau berlabuh
hati mu tetap bersauh kukuh
dalam diri ini makin utuh

buat yang jauh
datanglah ke mari bersimpuh
ingin ku renung mata mu walau dalam gemuruh
ingin ku tenung wajahmu sampai jatuh
ingin ku garap jemarimu dalam sentuh
ingin ku miliki mu sampai bila bila
sampai kau pada malamnya menjerit "Aduhh...."

dan kita bersama menyelami dada KK...papar...dan kimanis
biarlah segalanya indah dan kekal manis.....

Buat IsteriKu : Selamat Hari Ulang Tahun Pernikahan Kita - ke 17

seperti yang ku ceritakan
pada sesiapa yang ku temui di jalan ini
langkah ku kini langkah anak jantan
tanpa ada kejayaan aku takkan pulang
walaupun terpaksa melukakan hati mu
walaupun terpaksa menambah beban mu
walaupun tiada kepastian untuk mu
walaupun terpaksa menanggung rindu

ku lalui jalan dari kota kinabalu ke putatan
melimpasi kinarut lok kawi dan melingsung
ku tuju terus ke kimanis dan papar
ku temui penampang dan likas di tengahnya
ku jelajahi keningau dan banjaran crocker
menuju sipitang dan beufort

ku kenali teman teman bajau dan suluk
berbicara bahasa asing yang terlalu lain
ku terleka pada wajah kaum murut
walau berada dalam perkampungan orang brunei
orang laut

berdiri di kimanis pada jalan kg lanas
mencari rezeki dari pagi hingga dinihari
terlalu asing tetapi tetap ku gagahi
biarlah apa orang kata
biarlah apa saja yang ada
aku tetap di sini berdiri
mencari rezeki
