With all the big commotion about the church raid in Damansara Utama Methodist Centre (DUMC), are we missing the real point beneath all of this?
Are we disillusioned with all that is put out in the media for us to read and updated?
Remember the one Malay lady who stood up and testify that she seeks help from the government but she gained none. So, she went to DUMC which has a foundation for single mothers. She GAINED help for her family.
As a single mother living in today's world, it is not an easy task. The people in DUMC has showed that we can help people who are in need and helpless. They gave help when they saw a need.
So, we ought to learn that we should come together as ONE to help who are in need. Do we need to see who is converting who. Isn't saving a life more important than all of the others?
Take time to think. Who are we fighting for? What are we doing? What we ought to do actually?
We are all taught to help each other regardless of our own faith. Let's go back to the basic.
Since when did you start blogging? :). Whatever good intention, when politics is involved(and in Malaysia, where is it NOT ever involved??), what seems like a simple act of good, becomes twisted to suit those who want to gain political mileage. I often wonder, how far is the racial and religious divide widening in Malaysia? Don't you wonder whether money collected by religious organizations (whatever religion it is--be it Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism etc), you know, like those donation boxes you see sometimes placed at government counters, or collected on the streets or any other means? Do they ever get distributed to all regardless of race, religion or background of the recipient? Do we only look at OUR own kind, or do we look at mankind? Why is it that even AFTER we DIE, we are still buried SEPARATELY in racially, or religiously segregated cemeteries? Even when we are dead, are we suppose to carry on this burden of segregation? I thought Malaysia was beyond apartheid, but alas, it is very much alive here.
ReplyDelete:D There are yet a lot of issues that are still around us which separates us religiously and racially. I think apart of all this, we must always look to ourselves and see how we should act as a person. WE are all exposed racism since we are young. Look how we are brought up and the community. How many people are willing to step out and be different and break down walls of prejudism. Many are still in our comfort zone. It's time to step out, stand out and speak out! :D
