Akhirnya, ada juga tokoh masyarakat yang berani mengecam para kiyai / ulama preman - ulama yang jahat.
Pertanyaannya sekarang, apa yang bisa dilakukan untuk mengatasi fenomena ini ?
Kita berharap bahwa para ulama akan mendidik umat menjadi baik, tetapi bagaimana ketika ulamanya sendiri ternyata jahat ? Nah lho….
Menyenangkan sekali membaca bahwa Menteri Kesehatan berani mengancam produsen obat untuk menurunkan harga produknya.
Berita tersebut juga menafikan anggapan dari Marius bahwa tekanan tersebut hanya diarahkan kepada pihak apotik (karena Menkes menekan pihak pabrik langsung).
Tetapi satu hal yang cukup penting justru adalah fakta bahwa para dokter kita lebih cenderung memberikan resep non-generik (baca di akhir artikel).
Mengapa demikian ? Satu contoh kasusnya saya sempat lihat langsung sendiri - ada seorang dokter kenalan kami yang sebelumnya hidup biasa-biasa saja. Namun, beberapa tahun kemudian tempat prakteknya sudah berubah menjadi mewah. Hidupnya pun berkecukupan.
Dengan bangga dia memberitahu bahwa ini semua didapat dari komisi yang diberikan oleh pihak produsen obat.
Ternyata, semua resep yang diserahkan ke apotik itu dilacak oleh produsen obat. Kemudian, dokter-dokter yang meresepkan obat mereka akan diberikan komisi secara langsung dalam berbagai bentuk (tidak selalu berupa uang).
Namun, obat-obat yang memberikan komisi itu belum tentu yang paling ekonomis bagi pasien…
Praktek ini kelihatannya perlu diberantas juga, agar para dokter lebih terdorong untuk meresepkan obat-obatan yang tetap manjur, namun tanpa membebani sang pasien.
Let us see…
Just another reminder that Internet-only / virtual activism doesn’t work.
Just another reminder that Internet-only / virtual activism doesn’t work.
What most people doesn’t realise is that we’re talking about the battle to defend / conquer mainstream Internet here.
Imagine if Microsoft managed to dominate both the web browser and web server market. What’s going to happen ? Yes, they can define Internet “standards” all by their own, locking out alternatives and locking in their users in the same time.
Thankfully, Apache singlehandedly managed to avoid the webserver-domination scenario from happening.
Now Firefox has starting to reverse the Microsoft domination on the web-browser front. For our own sake, let’s hope they succeed before the next attempt from Microsoft arrived.
I was busy creating an e-commerce website for my friend when I noticed that on the list of the countries there’s one listed “islamic republic of iran”. I was speechless.
Shia / Shi’ite, especially the 12 Imaams sect (which is the majority), is everything but Islam. Their core beliefs contradicts the core beliefs of Islam. For now I’ll just list a few saying from the great early Muslim scholars that refuted their claim as being a Muslim :
It was reported that often Abu Haneefah used to repeat the following statement about the Shi`ites, “Whoever doubts whether they are disbelievers has himself committed disbelief.”
Imaam al-Shaafi`e
On one occasion al-Shaafi`i said concerning the Shi`ites, “I have not seen among the heretics a people more famous for falsehood than the Raafidite Shi`ites.” [Ibn Taymeeyah, Minhaaj as-Sunnah an-Nabawiyyah, 1/39]
On another occasion he said, “Narrate knowledge from everyone you meet except the Raafidite Shi`ites, because they invent Hadeeths and adopt them as part of their religion.” [Ibid, p. 38]
Imaam Maalik
Once Maalik was asked about them and he replied, “Do not speak to them nor narrate from them, for surely they are liars.” [Minhaaj as-Sunnah, 1/37]
During a class of Imaam Maalik, it was mentioned that the Raafidite Shi`ites curse the Sahaabah. In reply, he quoted the Quranic verse, “Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah and those with him are harsh with the disbelievers and gentle among themselves. So that the disbelievers may become enraged with them.”
He then said, “Whoever becomes enraged when the Sahaabah are mentioned is one about whom the verse speaks.”
[Tafseeer al-Qurtubee, Soorah al-Fath; Editor’s note: That is, anyone who is enraged by the mention of the Sahaabah is a dsibeliever, because the verse says, "…the disbelievers may become enraged with them (Sahaabah)."]
Maalik ibn Anas
Imaam Ibn Hazm quoted a report with an isnad going back to Hishaam ibn ‘Ammaar, who said: “I heard Maalik ibn Anas say: “Whoever curses Abu Bakr should be whipped, and whoever curses ‘Aa’ishah should be killed.” He was asked, “Why do you say that concerning (the one who curses) ‘Aa’ishah?” He said, Because Allah says concerning ‘Aa’ishah, (may Allah be pleased with her): “Allah forbids you from it (slander her) and warns you not to repeat the like of it forever, if you are believers.” (al-Noor 24:17)’”
Gotta run, will discuss in more details (much) later.
