Giving out White Envelopes To The Chinese Old Folks.

The Perkasa chairman, Ibrahim Ali might have bad intentions when he gave out white packets to the poor Chinese old folks. He meant to disgrace the Chinese.

The organiser of this function is a Chinese doctor as reported by some reliable sources. He too should be condemned for humiliating the Chinese communities.

As we know, white packets or envelopes are meant for funeral purposes. Ibahim Ali, who has many MCA friends, would surely know the culture of Chinese. He chose to give out white packets. I think he has evil intentions.

We are waiting for the response of BN leaders,particularly leaders from MCA, Gerakan and UMNO, who always said they respect the Chinese cultures and traditions.

It is sad to see that these under - privilaged old folks, for a mere sum of rm 10 , are being bullied and humiated just because they are poor and need the money.

We are also waiting for the response of the PR leaders. In any case, this type of mean demeanour would be bad for BN.Chinese with self respect would never accept this nonsense.

The urban poor

If you think all Chinese are rich, you are wrong. I do not have the figure how many percent Chinese are living below poverty line but I do know many are quite poor.

Yesterday, as I walked towards Jaya Jusco, Bukit Tinggi, I heard a small Chinese girl crying," I am hungry."The skinny girl was with her mother and her little brother, who was also skinny. I don`t understand why her mother did not buy her food. Was she poor? She dressed up okay, did not seem to be very poor. Or could it be at that time she got no money? I did not know. Despite the girl`s crying and begging, her mother did not bother. She simply replied," don!t bluff."I felt sorry and sad for the poor girl.

I should have stopped and gave money to the mother but I did not know whether that was an offend to her.I did not stop to help. I felt guilty. May God have mercy for the poor family and all other poor families in Malaysia and other parts of the world.

Every month, I do donate a little bit of money to church and I specify that the money is to be used to help the poor and needy people. May God provide food to all the poor and needy people, especially the poor children.
