It’s been around 10 days since I wrote this. I got to have a
quick lunch at a mamak with him in Melawati before solat Jumaat, last week. The
problem of being with a ‘celebrity’, it’s not only you don’t get to meet them
often now, your short time having lunch with them is more often being
interrupted with passer-by wanting to have photo with them.
Guess he won’t really pursue with his satay idea haha, he got
other things in mind and pretty much the focus is on the GE.
Things may be even rough for Rough now, since he’s going against
the big guns. But you very well know that you not only our support with you,
you have the entire nation’s.
Good luck!
*********
The title to this post could be a bit misleading or quite an
understatement to how things have been. It is not that this is the first few
times Rough have been making the news in our mainstream and alternative media
but ever since he got back into politics by joining the office he is now
resigning from, he has somewhat been the apple of the reporters eye where ever
he goes.
My brother gave me a surprised call this afternoon. Haha he
seldom calls – most of the time he texts - unless if it is something really
important. And he straight away jumped to, “eh Rough dah resign ke?”
Rough been calling to meet up for lunch 3 times this pass 1
week. And heck the timing is just so bad that whenever he calls, its either I
have exams on that particular day or I’m outside Shah Alam (where his office
is). It rather seems that I have been busier than his hectic schedule as fast-rising
politician.
So yes, Rough tendered his resignation yesterday from the
office he joined 2 years ago which got so much attention from the media and
indirectly brought him back into politics.
Having the privilege to work in his small office in Shah
Alam, one can’t help but to wonder how could someone go through such a busy
schedule continuously for the past many years and remain optimistic in
everything he gets himself involved in.
Being in his office means more like being his assistant; following
him for meetings, doing some little research for him and once in a while also
being his driver. And if having to travel from home to Shah Alam back forth
everyday could be quiet taxing, one has to be impressed how this determined
fellow never gets tired. Not enough with work, having to go for ceramah, pusing satu negara!
Knowing Rough, it’s unimaginable that he’ll quit from PKR. When my brother called and told me that he quit, I very well know it’s from the
office in Selangor and not the party, though my brother said otherwise.
So unlike many today who read the news, though I haven’t got
the chance to talk to him about it, but genuinely as someone who quite
understand what he had been through, I can be more than happy that this news is
finally out today.
I guess this is a much needed break for him and as someone
who has just started a family, and presumably never had much time spending time
with the new family, as friend this is all happy news.
Rough once shared that he would love to start a satay
business. Haha you’ll never know, this could just be the time to go with your
ambition. But when Election is near, it’s probably not just wise to concentrate
on satay, is it not?
The media could manipulate things, well that’s what they do.
But I know Rough, we all know him. Some sensational news will not bring any
harm to him, it only makes him stronger.
Have a nice break big guy, though most of us know that
things wouldn’t change much still with ceramah almost every night ha ha.
See
you around.
