World's Saddest Dolphins Concert on 28 August 2011.

I was invited to give a short speech on the concert to save the world's saddest dolphins.

Dolphins are born in the sea; please let them free and easy. They need big places to move around and it's not a puppet where you can keep it in a small pool and they can't move much. 

STOP! now before it's too late! let do our part and give support for the World's Saddest Dolphins.

If I can give a hand to stop, so can you.

Doa Seorang Insan yang bernama Cacat.

I am writing a book here are some of the text.

Ya Allah,

Setiap hari menjelma aku akan merasakan amat sedih dan tiada kebahagian dalam hidup ini, aku mengharapkan dapat pulang dengan cepat dan tidak menyusahkan orang lain, Hanya kau saja yang tau apa maksud ku ini.

Biarlah aku dihina, maki hamun, caci dan apa saja, aku adalah seorang sampah yang hidup sementara waktu saja. Izin lah aku menumpang teduh di dunia ini.

Fikiran ku selalu di ganggu, aku selalu bersenyuman tetapi hati aku menangis. 

Kau beri lah aku kekuatan dan semagat untuk menjalani hidup ini dan kau ceriakan lah dan tambahkan resqi ku ini amin.
