UNFAIR!

Last Thursday, I had a conversation with one of the cleaners in the educational institution, I was shocked to learn about the reality he and others faced.

He shared that he only earned RM800/month and RM150 was deducted as tax to the government. RM250 for grocery expenditure, meaning he only saved RM400/month. That's only RM4800 per year.

He is from Bangladesh, and before he came to Malaysia, he needs to pay around RM8000 for transportation and administration fees. To break-even, he needs to work for 1year and 8months. Only after that, he could make some 'profit' and save for the future.

His working time: 6am - 7PM, 1hour break. That's 12hours working time. Do take note that his job requires a lot of physical strength due to the nature of his work. He cleans the lecturers room and toilet, class tables and floor, students' toilet etc.

I felt pity for him and other 'unfortunate ones,' they are human beings as well, they too deserve to enjoy life like watching a movie once a month in the cinema, eat nice food in restaurant like what most of us did. There is no difference for him and you, it is just that he is not exposed and was not given the opportunity to receive education at higher learning educational institutions, and that makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE in life.

While we are all enjoying life, do take note that there is another side of the world where people are suffering in SILENCE. Their family is suffering in SILENCE too. Do care for them and take a proactive role in contributing to nation building and help the poor and needy because the PURPOSE of CIVILISATION is to make the WORLD A BETTER PLACE to live in...

I had a plan in place, a wonferful plan... Pray that GOD will help me REALISE MY DREAMS & MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS WORLD!

• It's 2.03am now, and I am here blogging... just finish my research proposal for the day, shall continue tomorrow. It's nice to listen to songs while writing my research proposal, been thinking a lot about the future. Example what career suits me, which country I would like to visit, what would things be in future.

• The future is a mystery, it's really true... Therefore, I am surrending myself to GOD, may GOD place the plans GOD had toward me. Been thinking that whether serving the community at large is a calling from GOD, like serving through United Nations or may be through political parties in Malaysia.

• I have a long-term plan, pray that everything goes smoothly. It would be great and meaningful to realise it. My grandparents are old, time is a constraint to me, pray hard that I would be able to fulfill the dreams I had since a little boy and the dream my grandparents hope for.

• As to what dream is that? I would say the dream of being a person with good values. Respecting people especially the old, serving the community, achieve financial goals and academic excellence etc.

• And...and... to marry my true love in my hometown with the presence of my grandparents, family members and friends. Been dreaming of that since young LOL!

• Life is interesting, with GOD guidance, things are just going to be BETTER & BETTER!

• AMEN!
