LRT is a good way of mass trasporting people between Arafah and Madina but I would recommend a people-mover type of transportation with extensions to some central points around which the rents are pitched. <br />If we miss the old sights and points of focus, the new ones will also become old and replaceable in time. It's the rising cost of performing the Hj which is very bothersome. Tabung Haji seems to be so absorbed in making profit rather than keeping the costs down as much as possible. The limited number of people who can perform the Haj every year ( the quoto set) is no reason to increase cost which only ensure that the rich and wealthy will be able to visit Mecca every year while the not so rich will find it difficult to bring the family members along. In any case doing Haj is a sacrifice and there should not be any complaint. But should Tabung Haji use that as a reason to hike up prices every two or theree years?norzahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05325162246693348711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724177439519828268.post-54986880194254075422010-11-19T09:05:10.047-08:002010-11-19T09:05:10.047-08:00Akhi Norzah,

There would not be cases of buses losing their way or of pilgrims getting left for hours not knowing when their bus would appear. However, I wonder what happens at the last stop in Arafah. Will there be buses there to ferry the commuters to the various locations to their tents? I'm sure not all the tents are nearby to the LRT stations.We'll wait for the new Hjs to tell us what happened when they return shortly.kaykualahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03240206222973305395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724177439519828268.post-73446692400807836692010-11-18T17:46:54.433-08:002010-11-18T17:46:54.433-08:00Akhi Norzah,
I have been following the ...Akhi Norzah,<br /> I have been following the program Salam Baitullah on TV many nights and from what I saw, the place from Al-Haram to Mina would not be recognisable in time to come due to many construction and changes taking place.<br /> Even the Jamrah is now a huge long wall, unlike the pillars that we were accustomed to in the past. With the introduction of the trains from Mina to Arafat and back, we might do away with the 4000 odd buses in the future. The places which were once familiar are now gone with the redevelopment of Makkah. Let us pray that the spiritual significance of the Hajj would not disappear with the development that seemed to be unstoppable. What is more important, the costs of doing the Hajj should not be so prohibitive that the future generations have to wait till they are too old for their savings to enable them to perform the Hajj.abdulhalimshahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09238556448779778756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724177439519828268.post-87568226691115140802010-11-15T14:38:25.589-08:002010-11-15T14:38:25.589-08:00Selamat hariraya to you n family, Akhi Pakcik Al-M...Selamat hariraya to you n family, Akhi Pakcik Al-Manar. The threat of rain and flood is there but Allah is most kind and loving. Behind the veil of any unfortunate occurence if and whenever it takes place, will always hide untold blessings which often passed unnoticed. Only those who are appreciative (syukriyah) will notice it and thank Allah for it. May we all be included in that number.norzahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05325162246693348711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724177439519828268.post-88213835431686954532010-11-15T08:19:43.616-08:002010-11-15T08:19:43.616-08:00Unlike the earlier Hari Raya we are likely to have...Unlike the earlier Hari Raya we are likely to have a quiet one. For one thing it is a short holiday, too short for our loved ones to travel all the way with their kids. Additionally, the weather is very unpredictable at the moment. We may soon get what we normally get this time of the year, rsin and flood.<br /><br />Selamat hari raya Qurban.Al-Manarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07203360858632549270noreply@blogger.com
