Fairness

1. There is this recent development of students (particularly non-malay) who are not able to gain scholarship even when they scored very good results.

2. YB Wee Ka Siong has been contributing to the community by going public to pressurise the relevant authorities to take stern action against civil servants who practiced biasness in the awarding of scholarship process.

3. Here comes the issue of fair distribution of opportunity to the citizens, in this case, the students.

4. Opportunity should be given to all qualified ones to pursue their dreams and not be sidelined due to racial cards. It is rather sad to learn that students not being able to pursue their chosen profession just because they are not given the opportunity to do so even if they are well qualified.

5. It is a life-time issue here, as that student will not be able to realise his or her fullest potential in his or her area of interest and that really put a stop for productive contribution in that chosen profession, that hinders the nation's vision towards becoming a developed nation by year 2020 whereby 50% of the country's labour workforce are skilled labour.

6. Fairness based on merits is what all government needs to pursue to ensure fair and just distribution of opportunity and the country's resources. This promotes good governance and demonstrate competency, transparency and accountability.

7. For those unfortunate ones (students) that are unable to receive a scholarship, never ever give up on your dreams, work harder and be stronger to work your way to achieve your dreams.

8. That makes you a better person because you simply get to understand what OPPORTUNTY & HARDSHIP really is... and most important of all, that makes you a STRONGER PERSON!

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!

~JOY~

• 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!

A Journey Worth Travelling!

Me & Lovely Grandpa

Hello friends,

How are u doing these days? Hope you are doing fine in this wonderful life, cherishing and appreciating people around you!

I would like to share with you regarding my decision to travel the journey of realising my financial dreams from SCRATCH!

Some may be asking why would I made this decision since I could obtain the help of my family members (other relatives too) to get a job or may be work upon any inheritance passed down to me in future (if there is any).

Well, I made the decision the travel the journey of realising my FINANCIAL DREAMS from SCRATCH because I personally feel it is A JOURNEY WORTH TRAVELLING. Being aware of the future challenges coming my way, I would choose to face it and overcome these challenges like what my great grandfather, grandfather and daddy did. They experienced trememndous hardship and yet staying strong to protect and provide the best for the family, and striving toward their dreams.

To be frank, I truly respect them very much. Whenever my grandfather and daddy share their stories, I always love to sit next to them listening to their great stories. I can see that they really know how to appreciate things and people around them, they truly understand hardship, they understand what 'the rich gets richer while the poor gets poorer' means.

I would like:

to experience their journey;

to see the world they see;

to understand the hardship life they faced;

to feel what they feel;

to appreciate what they appreciate;

to walk the journey they never regret travelling;

to get closer to them by understanding what they think and feel.

Some friends of mine think I am crazy, but I can tell you that whenever I am walking back home, I can see and feel things my grandpa and daddy saw and felt many years ago. It is such a joy to understand the philosophy of life.

By the way, just for sharing purpose, more than 70% of Malaysia's 40richest started from scratch back then. I guess that proves something!

See you soon folks in the millionaire club discussing about business, politics, educational development for youth transformation and most importantly, CHARITY!

Cheers:)~^^

The Meaning of LIFE!

1. I watched this movie today with my mom and brother today. There are a few things I wished to share here...

2. Is MONEY & FAME really important?
There are many things to learn from in this movie. The movie showed how Andy Lau (Jeneral) who has MONEY, STATUS & FAME regretted very much for causing the death of his daughter and later he repent and change his life to serve the people.

3. Remember friends... MONEY, POSITION, STATUS & FAME are never going to last forever, they are just there temporarily. They act as a tool for mankind in this given life only.

4. The question in everyone's mind should be 'how would an individual uses these tools to benefit others?' Things would work out greatly if everyone does that...

5. When a person finds peace in his thoughts and in his soul for trusting in GOD, he or she will experience meaningful events where money can't buy. These are the experience that would last a lifetime, and it's going to be eternal as GOD will recognised that contribution.

6. Besides, the movie also teaches us to appreciate people who care about us... In ancient times whereby family has to wait for a long period of time for their other beloved family members to come home from war/business/exploration. Some did came back and some didnt! It sad to see loved ones not returning home for months and years.

7. Today, we are lucky. The moment we miss each other, we could always contact each other instantaneously. Sometimes, we take things for granted and not realising how lucky we are.

8. Pray that our soul is at peace, and we be always cheerful appreciating one another and embracing life together lovingly.

Food for thought everyone!

Back to blogging!

Hello readers,

It is me here... I have decided to start blogging again so friends, students and public could have a piece of sharing of my thought about life & success, and about my journey to financial freedom too.

It feels really nice to share my knowledge and experience with others. Of course, do give me feedback for check and balance purpose LOL:)

Feel free to ask me questions, would be glad to answer them if I could!

Hopefully I have the support of everyone (particularly family members, friends and someone very important to me) in my journey to financial freedom. My dream would be to set up my own foundation to help the poor and needy. I am aware of the forthcoming challenges, it is not going to be an easy journey but like what some people say, THE BITTER THE STRUGGLE, THE SWEETER THE REWARDS WOULD BE!

Have a fun time everyone, more sharings to come soon!

Happy SOUL!

1. I just came back from a contemporary stage show titled 'Madworld' featuring dance choreography, drama and music at DUMC (Damansara Utama Methodist Church).

2. What does it profit a man who gains the whole world but loses his very soul? This is what the show is all about.

3. This show started with a lovely young little girl as an angel hoping to bring awareness to people out there who only know how to make profit, partying and having fun whereby others are suffering. There is a bad guy in that show that always make a fun at that little young angel that she is dreaming. The world is selfish, the world only cares about war and making a fortune without benefiting others. A good example would be Christmas, many only knows how to party and have fun without knowing the real meaning of Christmas, they just do not bother about those who are suffering in pain, those who are begging for food, those in the hospital etc.

4. I agreed very much with it.

5. In economics, we learnt about 'distribution of resources'. In reality, do you really think there is free and fair distribution of income and other resources? The rich gets richer where the poor gets poorer.

6. Therefore, it's only right if those who are fortunate to have the capability to strive for success ie monetary to donate or help those unfortunate ones. With this that person soul shall be with joy.

7. Those who are lucky to be in a relationship, please appreciate and take good care of each other. See the good in a person and not judge him or her based on wealth, position, status etc. What is the point if a man who is very rich but slaps and beats his wife? The man soul is not with joy and happiness. Poor thing to the wife too.

8. The future is in our hands... Especially to youth out there, better not waste time on unneccessary matters. It is best if one uses his or her fullest potential to benefit others.

9. Isn't it wonderful to be financially secure and make a difference in others lives? Family would not quarrel over money matters, other unfortunate ones will be able to benefit from your help, the world be at peace and everyone is happy. Isn't that better than watching movies in cinema, partying and singing karaoke without learning and applying everything from it?

10. Having good personality, dignity, responsibility and most importantly TRUST in the LORD & GOD and surrender everything to GOD! What I want in my span of life is a legacy, a legacy that would benefit others and bring joy and meaningful experience to them.

11. Of course it would be a blessing if I have my family, wife and friends support along this challenging journey of realising dreams. It would be of great joy if I could travel the journey with YOU!

12. BEST OF LUCK MY FRIENDS:)
