Me....kedekut??!!!!

When i was walking towards Sainsburys last saturday, i saw a woman tgh melutut and holding a card saying "Please spare me some money". Then when i was about to leave sainsburys, a young girl came...asking for $$. And when i hopped into the tube, a mother carrying her son begging for money to buy food. As Ijah and i reached the bus stop in Bayswater, a girl came and minta €€.

*geleng kepala* No ijah, i dont look like OKB(Orang Kaya Baru) ok!!! :P

And ALL of them gave the same reply when i said, "Sorry but i dont have small change to give you." Guess what did they say to me????

"C'mmon sister, you are muslim. You shouldn't lie."

*Angkat kening kanan and membulatkan mata* I'm not lying! Seriously, ever since i came to the UK, i hardly keep any cash with me! I will only withdraw money when i need it. But that's not the point ok!!! What i'm trying to say is.... Why ramai2 peminta sedekah, 97% adalah muslim???!!! Don't you guys notice that? Susah nak jumpe orang kristian or any other penganut agama lain meminta sedekah! What happen to our network??? Shouldnt we do something to basmi kemiskinan di kalangan umat Islam? Errr zakat collection was meant for ppl like them, riiiteee??? what happen to that? *blank face*

Shishhh.....why ler they have to use the religion part to "hit" others? *sigh*

Ok ok....i DO feel bad when i turned down their request. It's not that i dont want to help but... lets just say that I have my own principle in life. I will donate if it's for a charity thingy...like leukaemia research centre or rumah2 kebajikan or for mangsa tsunami....anywhere yang atleast i know where the money will go to. I give money for those yang "earned" their money. Like selling the sticker with ayat-ayat Quran. See, I takla kedekut sangat :P

But for me, to give somebody yang langsung tak berusaha nak dapatkan duit...it's impossible! you're not gonna get anything from me! Seriously, i think if they work harder, they can find a better way utk mencari nafkah selain drpd menadah tangan, menagih simpati drpd org lain!!! I mean, hina sangat ke keje "cleaner" (to say "cuci jamban" sound so euwww...hehehe) or sapu jalan raya or polish kasut or main music tepi jalan??? It doesnt matter what you do as long as the money you get is halal, no?

**ok exceptions utk org2 tua....sometimes i just give in...coz kesian! I wonder why takde rumah kebajikan yang amik diorang??!!! Where are their children? How can they grow old di tepi jalan? sad sad.....I don't want to end up like that!!!!**

Thinking about this makes me feel thankful with what i have now! I may not be the richest girl in Malaysia...apatah lagi the entire world..... but alhamdulillah, cukup makan&minum and tempat tinggal! I may not own any designer bags or clothes or shoes....but alhamdulillah, i have enough kain to cover the body, tak berkaki ayam...blablabla!

Sometimes we always forget what we actually needs....instead we concentrate more on what we want!!! Most of the time we take things for granted. Never realise how important they are to us...and when you realise it, it's always too late!!!
