Missing !
>> Wednesday, January 13, 2010
Yes, I've been missing for a very long time because of work commitments. nothing's been happening except for year-end deadlines concerning work. I'm a bit more relaxed now so here's my first blog for 2010.
Before I go on, I'd like to wish everyone a wonderful year.
And what's my new year resolutions ??? Simple.....cancel most of my credit cards because I don't want pay RM50 for each card ! And most importantly, I want to save some money this year so this means a lot of "unnecessary" expenses will have to go.
And the latest incidents concerning the word Allah has irked me. While one party is adamant about using the word, the other party has decided to take matters into their own hands. Meanwhile, the country risks being divided (yet again). And just yesterday, the government declared RM15 million aid for Muslim divorcees ! This just isn't the 1-MALAYSIA that I expected. How does the government justify that only women divorcees need aid ? What about divorcees of other races ? I am a single Chinese and my parents separated when I was young because my "father" decided that the grass was much greener on the other side. I watched my mother and grandparents (retired and without income) struggle to raise us (my 2 brothers and I). My mum did not choose to leave my "father" by choice but because he did not care about us enough to stay. Any government aid at that time would have helped but there was no such thing at that time. The fact that this aid is only offered to Muslim divorcees really makes me mad, mad, mad ! Why ? In case you are curious, I was 7, my elder brother was 3 and the younger brother was a newborn. Do I have a right to be mad ?
