1. Mat Jenin is a famous Malay character who likes to dream. All he did was to dream of the impossible.
2. They say if there is one Bataq all he does is to dream too. If there are two Bataq they play chess and if there are three they form a trio and perform in Bataqland.
3. These are tales of one Bataq Mat Jenin
a) He wants to look after a genie so that he can be a professional golfer for his country. He could be like Vijay Singh for Fiji, K J Choi for S. Korea and T. Jaidi for Thailand. He wants to use a genie to guide his golf ball where ever he wants so that he could play par golf.
b) He wants to publish in Science and Nature so that he could satisfy his boss who wants high Inpact Factor as his university's Key Performance Indicator. To-day his boss looks down on his publications in proceedings and in non-SI and non-Scopus journals.
c) He wants to have some endowments from his fellow Bataqs who had made good in life so that he could establish a Bataq Foundation to help his fellow Bataqs.
4. Well, as the saying goes to say, until another Bataq comes along to play chess with him, he will be forever Mat Jenin ......

bataq tu siapa pakteh? memang parlimen perlu ada org2 bijak pandai macam pakteh....moga lebih ramai ahli akademik yg masuk politik lebih ramai dan mereka ada kawan dan lebih lantang dan konfiden....ada sekali masa saya bertugas dalam parlimaen terketar2 jugak ahli parlimen kita menjawab soalan bijak dan soalan bodoh...
i love the story of mat jenin. A great reminder to young people who just love to dream big and do nothing about it which results in getting nothing.
Dear Sdra Khairil & Sdri Nadia
To dream is good, one in a while so as to make a small impossible thing possible, but don't dream of the impossibles ....a sheer waste of times.
