A Wednesday evening.

After the Maghrib prayers (sometime last week or so) at Mesjid Bukit Setongkol, Kuantan,Pahang, Malaysia, Ustaz Fadzil Hassan gave his tazkirah (in Malay). He is a regular in this Mesjid, being there every Wednesday evening most of the time, unless he is unavailable.
Ustaz Fadzil Hassan is my old Guru Ugama (Islamic Religious Teacher) from my early Sekolah Melayu (Malay School – elementary school) at my vilage, Lipat Kajang, in the District of Temerloh, Pahang Malaysia (Malaya then) in the 50s. He was the person who introduced me to Fiq(ah), Tauhid, Tajuid, and also Tasauf. When I left my village to go to my Secondary School in town and later for my further studies, we lost touch. Much later I bumped into him in Kuantan, and when I found out that he gives Tazkirah at Mesjid Bukit Sentongkol, Kuantan, I have made it a point to listen to his tazkiranh whenever I am in Kuantan.

Water supply to apartment.

We install a cartridged filter at the inlet of our apartment water supply system. After about 1 week, one can see how dirty the cartridge gets. This indicates that there are particles of dirt (maybe sand or earth) in the incoming piped water to the apartment.

Compare the 1 week filter with the similar white cartridge before installation.

What could have caused the dirt? In reality piped water in Malaysia is not that clean. Once upon a time one used to say of piped water in Malaysia as "You can drink the water from the tap". Not anymore.

For my apartment, I guess (I have not checked on this) 'clean' water is collected in a 'mother' tank at the bottom of the building and then pumped up to the secondary tanks at the top of the building, from where water is distributed to the various apartments. The incoming water is already dirty, and the 'mother ' tank may have sadiment collected at the bottom of it and after that the sadiment may then collect at the bottom of the secondary tank on top. When water reaches an apartment, its not really clean water though a lot of sadiment from the public water supply haa already collected at the bottom of two tanks. What one sees at the cartridged filter is the leftover of the total sadiment from the main public water supply.

We change the water filter cartridge periodically, say once a month. And it is expected that the 'mother' water tank and the secondary water tank should be cleaned say once every 2 years at least. Currently the cleaning (to the best of my knowledge) have never been done by the apartments Management.

Dishonest

This is plain dishonest, amounting to stealing. There is no water meter, probably taken away by the Management due one reason or another. And the apartment occupier had made this illegal connection to get water illegally.
The 'link' is there at night but by daybreak it has been taken away, as if no 'link' had ever existed. "Now you see, now you don't".
Its a shame really that we are living among such dishonest people, and if they are the Muslims of type who prays 5 times a day its worse.
Lets hope that these people realise their errors in life.

No water

I have just realised that certain people living in the apartments complex has no water meter. Virtually it means that the apartment concerned has no running water supply. Why? I don't really know and I have not investigated. The funny part is that there are decent (?) people living in the apartment. What comes to my mind is not why they have no running water, it is how come they still live in the apartment and how do they wash with no running eater? I have not asked, and I don't intend to.
