I find it helpful as I know that the blogger had put up something new. <br /><br />Before when I didn't know, I had to click each one to check. Now I know when there is something new because that blog link moves up the blog link.<br /><br />Cheers! :)SFGEMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03919119004910187095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7586986988878607570.post-12108861587977707902010-06-09T05:40:06.359+08:002010-06-09T05:40:06.359+08:00Thanks Estrelita for putting my blog link way up h...Thanks Estrelita for putting my blog link way up high on your blog list.

I cannot say I understand exactly wha...My dear Pat<br /><br />I cannot say I understand exactly what you mean but I know you mean well.<br /><br />I also know that those problems are wayyyyy beyond our control. Yet, helping a little must count for something. <br /><br />It is more than just a salve for one's conscience. I want to change that. Even RM1 counts for something. If 500 people give RM1 each, that would be RM500 to buy food, books, clothes or shoes. <br /><br />These are people who don't seem to have very much at all. Even a Fuji apple is a luxury for them. <br /><br />I feel that we should give what we can. Even if it is just for "syok sendiri". It doesn't matter. That "syok sendiri" has resulted in making a difference.<br /><br />This is all I wanted to share with my blog post.<br /><br />As the friends of Kapar say <b>We cannot change the world but we can make a difference. Please help us to make a difference in their lives.</b>SFGEMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03919119004910187095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7586986988878607570.post-53377000046715958202010-06-02T20:14:34.077+08:002010-06-02T20:14:34.077+08:00Antares, I think sometimes despair can lead us to...Antares, I think sometimes despair can lead us to just point our finger at whoever is most convenient at that moment. However, I cannot say for sure why she singled out Anwar.<br /><br />I loved how Monica shared her thoughts about Raj. It struck something inside of me.<br /><br />I don't suppose I will move mountains with my blog post but I see that I've already touched some hearts to do what they can. That is really all I ask. <br /><br />About Mother Teresa, I guess she was a tool of the Vatican, in some way. However, her genuine good work cannot be denied. I guess that she did what she thought was best, despite and in spite of whatever she knew or felt about the Vatican. They seem to be swimming in money and yet preach about the poor and hungry. This is what I don't understand.<br /><br />Thank you for whatever you are going to do. As you know, it only takes a small act of kindness to start a ripple effect.SFGEMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03919119004910187095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7586986988878607570.post-44995352635268235492010-06-02T19:58:56.823+08:002010-06-02T19:58:56.823+08:00Hello Richard,

Those on the front lines are the ones that deserve the honor and recognition <br /><br />I'm glad that some people had been touched by the poor families in Kapar and have begun to think of ways that they can help.<br /><br />This is all I asked of everyone who visits this blog. Just to do whatever they can. Nothing is too small and even sending a prayer for them is worth something.<br /><br />:-)SFGEMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03919119004910187095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7586986988878607570.post-52938938079792206282010-06-02T10:29:17.252+08:002010-06-02T10:29:17.252+08:00I can't explain it, but what Antares says stri...I can't explain it, but what Antares says strikes a chord with me. Something about that article just didn't sit right with me; and it was good to see that I was not 'alone' in feeling this way.<br /><br />However, I do believe that Friends of Kapar are doing good work. And yes, it just takes our small change; something <i>we</i> won't miss, but it will make a difference to those who need it.<br /><br />But I don't believe that just shoving RM20 in a poor person's face solves his problems. The issues are wayyy bigger than can be solved with a one-off donation - that works more to salve our minds, rather than to attend to his real needs. <br /><br />There is a man who comes to my door regularly and asks for money <i>for his children</i>. He is lame, and is unable to work. I have given. One day, I decided that I'd give rice, and some powdered milk. I felt that would better <i>reach</i> his children. He's never come back again.<br /><br />But this is a good start, and these are good people. I hope there will come a time when we don't need to see misery and poverty like this here in Malaysia.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795820209657289652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7586986988878607570.post-84110005502842736742010-06-02T02:44:26.575+08:002010-06-02T02:44:26.575+08:00Something Monica said felt a bit off.

Why would she single out DSAI as an example of an uncaring all-talk politician when it's obvious that the nation's pursestrings are not under Pakatan Rakyat control? Is she hoping Mr Pink Lips will step up to the plate and drop a fat cheque in the post for Friends of Kapar? Nevertheless, what Monica and her friends are doing is indeed laudable. In the final analysis, poverty is really just the shadow side of extravagance, just as lack is born of greed. I was never sold on the Mother Teresa story - because she was, in truth, used by the Vatican as a poster girl to conceal its own hubristic role in keeping the social and economic hierarchy in place. Don't get me wrong, I shall definitely do my bit to help Friends of Kapar. It just annoys me when corporate fat cats work in cahoots with corrupt governments to enrich themselves by gorging vampire-like off the natural resources that once comfortably supported politically disempowered people like Raj and his family... or the Orang Ulu of Sarawak.Starmandalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03349987009726416189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7586986988878607570.post-63295616422790321222010-06-02T00:30:11.283+08:002010-06-02T00:30:11.283+08:00Thanks Lita for highlighting this website.

The Malaysian Indians suffer the most and yet the Government thinks only the Malays are poor and needed the NEP. Another sad case where the kids eat stone and treated it like chocolate.
