Written with empathy and compassion. You guys are true blue Anak Bangsa Malaysia. Thanks a million SAJ Sun, 29 Nov 2009 07:01:26 +0100 http://sayaanakbangsamalaysia.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=192#josc54 A thought provoking piece. The words preceding the last photograph really resonates... I wouldn\'t be suprised if a similar photo is featured on National Geographic.

That we need to recognise a sense of value in each individual. That there is a dire need  to redress the gap between the rich and the poor in this country.Some super pictures here...thank you. angel Sun, 29 Nov 2009 14:50:43 +0100 http://sayaanakbangsamalaysia.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=192#josc56 My eyes welled up reading this article. These pictures tell more than a thousand words. Folks in this village/suburb are still a close-knit lot. Children are taught filial piety and respect. The boy is so cute...hope he has gone to school and being educated properly. Why don\'t Anak Bangsa Malaysia set up an education fund for children from these poor family? I would like to contribute on an ongoing basis.

People are materialistic. People are selfish and they strive to get to the top, by any means. Having a heart is just going to stop them from attaining all these. It slows them down. If you look at the people around you, simple virtues like standing up in the bus/ MRT and giving your seat to the old/ pregnant/ young, is barely seen. An old person who is trying to cross the road and nobody is there to help him/ her. What has the nation become? We are more obsessed with chasing the latest phones, the latest fasion, the latest BMW/ Merc etc But we have even failed to look after our own family. I see parents who are selfish towards their children; sibiling who try to take advantage of each other, these basic caring attitudes are hardly found in your common household. So how can a nation start having some empathy? A heart? anonymous-er Mon, 30 Nov 2009 05:13:29 +0100 http://sayaanakbangsamalaysia.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=192#josc60 :angry: The lack of heart as they exercise their abusive power is only behind the shield of 1Malaysia. Heartless, cruel and cowardly. Let us look with compassion but look beyond to the larger numbers being alienated from the 1Malaysia scheme.

Thanks for being a bridge. jo Jo Kukathas Mon, 30 Nov 2009 07:52:04 +0100 http://sayaanakbangsamalaysia.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=192#josc62 My hearts bleed when I saw the young Indian boy at such a tender age can show how to be a caring and concern to the elders. I\'m sure you will become a useful citizen when you have grown up.Don\'t give up through this difficult period because myself had gone through this before.All the best to you and may god bless you. jokersland Mon, 30 Nov 2009 14:40:38 +0100 http://sayaanakbangsamalaysia.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=192#josc63 $$$,Power and Politician are suckers. The will suck dry even the poor. Mon, 30 Nov 2009 14:51:17 +0100 http://sayaanakbangsamalaysia.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=192#josc64 Why is this happening? Who is to be blamed for such poverty? What happen to the Malaysian Government? My empathy to the little boy and Grandpa! Sentul Boy - USA Tue, 01 Dec 2009 01:37:37 +0100 http://sayaanakbangsamalaysia.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=192#josc67 Indeed as in any where in the world, the poor is always voiceless and some even faceless. Why has despite all material progress Malaysia has made, that we persistently fail to address the needs of the poorest of the poor? Social housing planning must be holistic. As pointed out in this article, these \'poor community\' rely on each other.. they cannot afford childcare, they cannot afford maids, so to dig them out of the community and plonk them elsewhere not only disrupts their family lives and whatever little they have left. If only we have politicians who genuinely care for the rakyat irrespective of race and colour rather than use the rakyat for their own gains such heartwrenching stories and sights will be less. Thank you for giving a voice and a face to these people. D Lim Wed, 02 Dec 2009 22:02:10 +0100 http://sayaanakbangsamalaysia.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=192#josc70 The simple problem and fact that our country faces is the greed of politicians and the civil service. We need to make the stand \"silently\" to eradicate these mindless acts. Thanks you SABM!

Looking at the photographs, I\'m quite sure he\'s \"properly\" educated alright. Many school children are not properly educated at all in humanity, values and virtues even when they go to school. Couldn\'t stop crying seeing the photographs. Where are grandpa\'s family ?? What\'s happening to our society ??? Esther Yew Sun, 06 Dec 2009 16:36:20 +0100 http://sayaanakbangsamalaysia.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=192#josc79 :angry: Well this has been happening on an ongoing basis in different parts of the country. If we dont stand up and say enough is enough it will continue. Are we brave enough to do this or are we content to put in our two cents worth and then go back living in LA La land.Talk is cheap Peter peter Fri, 11 Dec 2009 10:20:21 +0100 http://sayaanakbangsamalaysia.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=192#josc113 That the individuals in the piece are being identified as \"Chinese Malaysian\" and \"Indian Malaysian\" makes an absolute mockery of this whole SABM! Until we are able to see ourselves and each other as MALAYSIANS first and everything else a distant second, things will NOT change. a malaysian Fri, 29 Jan 2010 22:41:22 +0100 http://sayaanakbangsamalaysia.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=192#josc114 a malaysian, i don\'t see a problem with ethnicity.
