PINGGAN BERTINTA PANTUN Pinggan bertinda pantun adalah penanda yang menandakan kepentingan rangkap catur larik dalam masyarakat Melayu pada masa dahulu. Bagi pengumpul barangan seramik dan barangan tembikar, nama Staffordshire mungkin sinonim dengan nana-nama seperti Wedgwood, Royal Doulton dan Royal Albert . Barangan berjenama ini merupakan pinggan mangkuk meja dan pinggan hiasan serta patung hiasan kecil yang menghiasi meja-meja dan dinding-dinding di kebanyakan runah di Malaysia. Bagaimanapun, hanya sedikit yang menyedari bahawa ada di antara pinggan-pinggan ini mula dibuat di Staffordshire , sebuah mukim di West Midlands di England bagi pasaran timur, ditulis dengan pantun Melayu dalam tulisan Jawi.

Bukan Sungai Mati ANEH TETAPI MENARIK : Sungai Mati, selain daripada namanya yang mengerikan, tempat ini hidup dan menyeronokan walaupun pembangunannya agak perlahan. Penulis tertarik dengan nama di pekan kecil ini yang berhampiran dengan Muar. Tersorok di pertengahan jalan utama antara Muar dan Bukit Gambir ialah sebuah pekan kecil bernama Sungai Mati. Pekan ini mudah ditemui kerana pusat bandarnya ialah tiga penjuru persimpangan jalan dengan dibarisi deretan kedai diperbuat daripada kayu. Terdapat lampu isyarat besar di persimpangan jalan tersebut yang memberi kesempatan kepada para pengguna jalan raya untuk melihat bagaimana masa tidak berlalu di bandar yang aneh tetapi menarik dalam daerah Muar. Beberapa tahun lalu, deretan kedai ini diberi nafas baharu apabila dicat dengan warna lavender, warna merah jambu dan warna biege. Penduduk di sini berkata tidak banyak perubahan berlaku di pekan ini kecuali beberapa kawasan perumahan baru dibina di pinggir perk...
