JOM HEBOH in Kelantan

First of all, I want to state here that I did not go to the event. Nevertheless, I like to comment on various webpages written about this topic. Before the event, AnNasru stated several suggestions so that JOM HEBOH (JH) in Kelantan will be different, in a good way, from other JHs. Among his suggestions were:

1. a special task force will be set up to monitor the event, so that there will be no unwanted elements happen throughout;

2. the setting, or landscape, of the JH should be based on Islamic arts;

3. a big tent should be held up for the visitors to perform prayers;

4. a mascot using Islamic characters (he gave the example of Sinbad or Aladdin) to attract younger audience.


One of the bloggers agreed with these suggestions, and further wrote that Kelantan should accept the challenge to change the habit of such JHs so that it will be held in accordance to Islamic principles.

His sentiment was not shared by other blogger, however, saying that there are hidden agendas in Kelantan government in allowing this event. I will not delve into that specifically, but I personally find that his views is very politically bias.

To sum up, I sure hope that in these two days (26 and 27 March) Kelantan will benefit from this event, in any way possible, economically or socially.
