My Hajj Journal Part 9 – About the people of Makkah

Before I go to Makkah, all people told me not to complaint. My hajj is over & now I want to complaint about the people of Makkah! I can say many bad things about them. I believe all future hajee need to know these. We should be prepared mentally & what to expect from these people. People here doesn’t mean only the Arabs but also anyone who are staing in Makkah. Most sellers are either Indians of Bangladeshis.

They are mostly not educated! Therefore they spit as they like, they don’t speak English (speaking Bahasa Melayu will be accepted better than English), they don’t que, they don’t have rule & don’t respect rule, they honk as they like, they yell, they push, they cheat you if they can. They increase the price of things in Makkah as they like. They don’t have many signage & even if they are signage, they don’t have to follow them.

They are arrogant, very arrogant. Even the Bangladeshies there also arrogant.

They know nothing about safety. They can continue loading super duper heavy cements across the walking jamaah! Rarely I saw the workers wearing helmet.

So, as a reminder, guys, if you go there, having patience is like having gold. Its priceless.

If not because of Islam & Baitullah, I don’t think the place deserved to be visited. O people of Makkah! No wonder Rome & Persian refused to conquer you when you are not Muslim. If you don’t do the work of deen, you will not be respected anymore.

Finally! I finished marking the paper

The students are OK. Most got them answer above average. Some did not think well before answer the questions as usual. To enter the marks, instead of using the Microsoft Excel file given, I converted it into Microsoft Access so that it will be easier for me to insert mark for each student. Else I have to scroll down many times to search for the matric number.

What is the best part being a lecturer? When they understand what I taught them. When I met them after their graduation & they have become a great person.

Stupid people

Just because of few ringgit that they can save……well, until the next filling only, many stupid people are willing to queue for even an hour (or more) to fill up their tank with petrol. They had caused jam all over the place! And I was one of those unlucky fella who were caught, not one but at many places because of this stupid & inconsiderate people.
