He had started his career after winning the "Bintang RTM" on 11 August 1976. Besides, he is the title holder of "Asia's No. 1 Performer" on 19 March 1989 as he won the ‘‘Asian Popular Music Awards’’ competition in Royal Albert Hall in London.^[1]He was known as the "Singing Lawyer", the "People's Singer", the "Patriot Singer" and the "Elvis Presley of Malaysia". He was also a composer, lawyer, writer (memoir and children books), cartoonist, entrepreneur and actor.

Music

Possessing of a clear piercing tenor with a surprising breadth of range and dynamic control especially at the extreme high end, Sudirman's voice was instantly recognizable every time one of his songs are played in local radio or television. His ability to act through his voice is evident from songs such as "Bercanda di Pasiran Pantai", a Latin-flavored duet with Anita Sarawak which displayed the sultry quality of his voice. His unique talents had helped him to win many local competitions from Bintang RTM Best Singer (1976) to Muzik-Muzik TV3 Best Performer and Berita Harian Popularity contest Most Popular Artist. He topped Malaysian, Brunei and Indonesia charts with songs such as "Merisik Khabar", "Milik Siapakah Gadis Ini" and "Salam Terakhir".Songwriters who have supported him in the past include S. Atan, Manan Ngah, Michael Veerapan and Syed Harun. Even today, his songs are popularly played especially during National Day and Eid-ul-Fitr.

Sudirman was also the first Malaysian singer to perform at The Paddock at the Hilton of Kuala Lumpur in 1983 and was the singing ambassador for companies such as Proton,Malaysia Airlines, Honda Cup and honored pioneer card member with Hong Leong Bank. He was known for his versatility and sang Malay, Indian and Chinese songs with outstanding choreography. He was even known for sketching the portrait of his fan while singing.

Local musicians who have played for him include Alex Boon, Jay Jay (singer guitarist), Hillary, Ricky, Fauzi Marzuki, Michael Veerapan, Mac Chiew and Jenny Chin. Local women who have performed with him as his dancers supermodel Samantha Schubert and Linda Jasmine Hashim (now one of the leading dancing choreographer cum teacher in Malaysia's reality TV program show Akademi Fantasia).

Some Muslim fundamentalists and leftists detested his concert performances. Some even threatened and distributed warning pamphlets of "something would happen" during hisUniversiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) Bangi concert to deter people from attending. The concert was postponed following protests from the UKM students union body, its academic staff association and the dean of the Islamic Studies faculty and six other student bodies. This incident was captured by Zainuddin Maidin (then journalist, now former Minister of Information) in his book "The Other Side of Mahathir". He narrated that the then-Prime Minister had called a few ministers to his residence to review the situation as the issue reflected Malaysia's position in terms of modernization. The meeting led to the conclusion that the show had to be allowed to go on. Sudirman's fans turned up in force. He went about pleasing the crowd, crooning his hits. One campus resident said, "At last something alive has come here." The negativity surrounding the UKM incident was not long-lasting. The irony of it is that, a couple of years after Sudirman's death in 1992, UKM held a Sudirman karaoke competition.

Sudirman produced an album for his favourite nephew, Razman Azrai, under Sudirman Productions. Also known as Atai, he had a couple of hit songs that topped the charts in 1985.

In April 1983, Sudirman sang a song for the late Puan Sri Saloma titled "Mama". When Sudirman approached her shortly before her death, Saloma expressed her disbelief with tears — that someone like Sudirman would still remember and make a song solely for her.

On 14 April 1986, Sudirman held an open air concert on Chow Kit Road, which was the first time ever that a street concert drew a 100,000-strong crowd on a Monday night. It jammed the stretch of Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, Jalan Raja Muda to Jalan Raja Alang. Several fans fainted in the crowd, a few suffocated and were rushed to the hospital. A Malaysian English tabloid, The Star, wrote that "Kuala Lumpur came to a standstill and it had nothing to do with the recession, but with one man, Malaysia's top entertainer, an electrifying performance and most memorable night".

Sudirman's songs topped the charts with every new album that he released. There was a time when his song "Merisik Khabar" climbed up to the #1 position for two months while his second song "Milik Siapa Gadis Ini" from the same album came in second and stayed at the top for a few weeks after "Merisik Khabar".

In 1989, Sudirman won the title "Best Performer" at the Asia Music Award 1989 contest at the Royal Albert Hall, London. There, Leslie Cheung (Hong Kong Cantopop founding father), Anita Sarawak (Singapore's Best), Epo (Japan singer song writer), Kuh Ledesma (Philippines pop diva) and many other singers represented their respective countries.^[5]

As Sudirman was known by many as "Malaysia's No 1 Entertainer", he was chosen to perform for Malaysia's SEA Games closing ceremony in 1989 and many others such as the opening ceremony of Sepak Takraw competition, Merdeka, New Year and other national functions. In most cases, he would use his own money to ensure a successful concert.

Sudirman Arshad also had a strong fanbase in Singapore. His concert there resulted in a large turnout at the Kallang National Stadium in August 1987. People came from all classes, races and ages. Kelvin Tan Look Siew, Director of Singapore Armed Forces Music & Drama company, said, "We wanted to bring down a prominent artist from the region and Sudirman's name automatically cropped up."

EMI London took him on to work together with Stock, Aitken & Waterman (British producer trio who took on Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan and Rick Astley) for the world market with a song titled "Love will Find a Way". Vic Lanza, manager of WHAM (duet of George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley) pronounced Sudirman as the institution of Malaysian Music industry. He was brought to The Beatles famous Abbey Road Studios and recorded the album, but died soon afterwards.

The Proton Satria GTi was launched in 1998 with a 138 bhp (103 kW) 1.8-litre Mitsubishi-sourced 4G93p engine, originally found in the Mitsubishi Lancer GSR, but without the turbo and with an increase in compression to compensate for the power loss. The Satria GTi was developed and re-engineered as a traditional hot hatch by Lotus in Hethel, England. The Satria GTi could sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 7.8 seconds, making it among the fastest Proton production models ever produced.A new body kit was also adopted for better aerodynamics. The Satria GTi also wore a 'Handling by Lotus' badge on the rear hatch.
The engine and handling of the Satria GTi were progressively updated and revised between 1998 and 2005. The Mitsubishi version was produced from 1998 until mid-2002. The VDO (Siemens) version had been in production from mid-2002 until 2005 when Proton ceased production.

Misteri Kemayan City

Sebuah bangunan yang dikenali sebagai Kemayan City sudah lama terbengkalai. Ekoran itu mula timbul pelbagai cerita yang agak menyeramkan terutamanya dari penduduk negara Singapura kononnya menganggap kompleks beli-belah itu wujud.

Penduduk Johor Bahru terutamanya di Tampoi, Skudai, Kulai dan sekitar tentunya mengenali Kemayan City, sebuah kompleks yang terbengkalai mangsa kegawatan ekonomi tahun 1998. Ianya dikenali ramai kerana gahnya sewaktu pelancarannya dahulu.

Tetapi kini Kemayan City yang usang menjadi tempat yang misteri dan mistik, terutama oleh warga Singapura sepertimana yang diceritakan sendiri oleh mangsa kepada Ustaz JAIJ, Ustaz Hanafiah Abdul Razak.

Mall berpuaka! Itulah gelaran diberi kepada kompleks beli-belah terbengkalai Kemayan City di Tampoi apabila beberapa keluarga rakyat Singapura terjebak membeli-belah di situ sebelum pulang ke negara asal mereka dengan membawa daun kering atau barangan dibeli lenyap begitu saja.

Cerita pelik dan menyeramkan berkaitan aktiviti paranormal di kompleks Kemayan City bukan lagi asing di kalangan masyarakat bandaraya ini, malah misteri alam ghaib di pusat beli-belah terbengkalai lebih 10 tahun lalu itu menjadi buah mulut penduduk Singapura.

Bagaikan badi kepada warga Singapura, cerita menggerunkan di Kemayan City dikatakan popular kalangan warga republik berkenaan yang mendakwa mengalami peristiwa dianggap susah diterima akal seperti berbelanja dan makan di pusat beli-belah yang sebenarnya tidak pernah beroperasi selepas projek itu terhenti pada 1998.

Kejadian menyeramkan di pusat membeli-belah berkenaan pernah dialami sekeluarga dari Woodland, Singapura.

Semuanya bermula apabila keluarga terbabit dikatakan mengunjungi pusat beli-belah terbengkalai terletak di tepi Jalan Johor Bahru-Air Hitam itu ketika mereka dalam perjalanan pulang menghadiri majlis kenduri kahwin saudara di Melaka.

Sebaik tiba di Kilometer 13 Jalan Johor Bahru-Air Hitam menghala pusat bandaraya kira-kira jam 9 malam, keluarga terbabit tertarik ke arah bangunan di sebelah kiri jalan berkenaan yang bergemerlapan dengan lampu aneka warna dan meriah dengan kunjungan orang ramai.

Tarikan itu menyebabkan keluarga terbabit membuat keputusan singgah dan mendapati kemeriahan itu adalah majlis pembukaan pusat beli-belah yang diadakan secara besar-besaran.

Menyangkakan Kemayan City dipulih dan memulakan operasinya, keluarga berkenaan tidak melepaskan peluang singgah memandangkan malam masih awal.

Selepas berada lebih setengah jam di situ, keluarga berkenaan beredar kerana mempunyai satu lagi destinasi yang perlu singgah sebelum balik ke Singapura.

Mereka menuju rumah saudara di Kampung Pasir yang terletak tidak jauh dari pusat beli-belah berkenaan.

Ketika berada di rumah saudara, seorang ahli keluarga terbabit bercerita mengenai kehebatan majlis pembukaan Kemayan City ketika singgah di situ.

Sungguh mengejutkan apabila keluarga malang itu mendapat berita daripada saudara mereka bahawa bangunan yang didakwa beroperasi sebenarnya masih terbengkalai sehingga kini, bahkan semakin usang.

Kesemua barangan yang dibeli termasuk pakaian didapati hilang sebaik mereka tiba di rumah dan keadaan itu menimbulkan gangguan emosi kepada keluarga berkenaan selepas melalui detik menyeramkan, pelik dan aneh di Kemayan City.

mcd

            The McDonald's Corporation is the world's largest chain of hamburger fast food restaurants, serving around 68 million customers daily in 119 countries.Headquartered in the United States, the company began in 1940 as a barbecue restaurant operated by Richard and Maurice McDonald; in 1948 they reorganized their business as a hamburger stand using production line principles. Businessman Ray Kroc joined the company as a franchise agent in 1955. He subsequently purchased the chain from the McDonald brothers and oversaw its worldwide growth.
A McDonald's restaurant is operated by either a franchisee, an affiliate, or the corporation itself. McDonald's Corporation revenues come from the rent, royalties, and fees paid by the franchisees, as well as sales in company-operated restaurants. In 2012, McDonald's Corporation had annual revenues of $27.5 billion, and profits of $5.5 billion.
McDonald's primarily sells hamburgers, cheeseburgers, chicken, french fries, breakfast items, soft drinks, milkshakes, and desserts. In response to changing consumer tastes, the company has expanded its menu to include salads, fish, wraps, smoothies, and fruit.

       The business began in 1940, with a restaurant opened by brothers Richard and Maurice McDonald at 1398 North E Street at West 14th Street in San Bernardino, California (at 34.1255°N 117.2946°W). Their introduction of the "Speedee Service System" in 1948 furthered the principles of the modern fast-food restaurant that the White Castle hamburger chain had already put into practice more than two decades earlier. The original mascot of McDonald's was a man with a chef's hat on top of a hamburger shaped head whose name was "Speedee". Speedee was eventually replaced with Ronald McDonald by 1967 when the company first filed a U.S. trademark on a clown shaped man having puffed out costume legs.
McDonald's first filed for a U.S. trademark on the name "McDonald's" on May 4, 1961, with the description "Drive-In Restaurant Services", which continues to be renewed through the end of December 2009. In the same year, on September 13, 1961, the company filed a logo trademark on an overlapping, double arched "M" symbol. The overlapping double arched "M" symbol logo was temporarily disfavored^{[clarification needed]} by September 6, 1962, when a trademark was filed for a single arch, shaped over many of the early McDonald's restaurants in the early years. Although the "Golden Arches" appeared in various forms, the present form as a letter "M" did not appear until November 18, 1968, when the company applied for a U.S. trademark.
The present corporation dates its founding to the opening of a franchised restaurant by Czech American businessman Ray Kroc, in Des Plaines, Illinois, on April 15, 1955, the ninth McDonald's restaurant overall. Kroc later purchased the McDonald brothers' equity in the company and led its worldwide expansion, and the company became listed on the public stock markets in 1965. Kroc was also noted for aggressive business practices, compelling the McDonald brothers to leave the fast food industry. The McDonald brothers and Kroc feuded over control of the business, as documented in both Kroc's autobiography and in the McDonald brothers' autobiography. The San Bernardino store was demolished in 1976 (or 1971, according to Juan Pollo) and the site was sold to the Juan Pollo restaurant chain. It now serves as headquarters for the Juan Pollo chain, as well as a McDonald's and Route 66 museum.^[10] With the expansion of McDonald's into many international markets, the company has become a symbol of globalization and the spread of the American way of life. Its prominence has also made it a frequent topic of public debates about obesity, corporate ethics and consumer responsibility.
