Pity to those who can’t afford…
Monday, June 16th, 2008
After I watched this video above, I remember one story that I would like to share with you people out there. Last semester me and Krishna went to buy nasi lemak near our rented house in the evening. With the same Makcik, we would buy nasi lemak, keropok lekor and sometimes air tebu which she sells beside the road in Bukit Beruang, Melaka along with some help from her secondary-schooled daughter. Once, I remember I forgot to take my balance after I handed in 10 bucks but her daughter shouted calling for me just before I entered my car. They are truly humble and sincere people.
But one day, as me and Krishna went to buy our favorite weekend nasi lemak, she kept mumbling like our own mother! I remember few of the phrases which still boggles my mind:
“....eeeeeee…kenape la die naikkan harge, macam mana la kite-kite ni nak hidup kalau jual nasi lemak aje. Supplier makcik dah naikkan harge, Nak! Susah makcik nak dapat untung macam ni kalau meniage! Susah macam ni kalau beras naik, tepung naik. Haih. bla bla bla…..Jangan lupe baki duit, Nak. Nnt terlupe lagi….”
So how do you expect me and my friend, Krishna to react? Pity her. But imagine, there are another few thousands people who sell nasi lemak not just there, but in kampongs, school canteens and many others. Speaking of humanity, please help them God. Some people they just don’t bother to think just for few seconds of these people’s life who always insufficient. But to those who cares, do pray for those who need a better life. One thing about me, I hate liars [People lies, can’t avoid that but not until resulting up to this stage!]. That is why it forces me to post this blog entry regardless the circumstances even as an umno member. I’m very sure you all will agree with me: This is too much!
p.s.: Watch the video first and see what all the nelayans and orang kampongs have to say!

Jim for pm!!

waaaa…..rindu arr nasi lemak dier. (>_< )
undi kami hari ini….esok harga minyak turun…hahaha…aku rindu nasi lemak janda!!
well sometimes we gotta raise the price here cos we gotta follow the world price…but when we are net exporters of something (i.e petrol, palm oil, or rice) those prices should not affect us in a bad way, in fact we should get more profits frm them…not increase the damn prices and affect us all!! this is too much!!
the reasons for the price hikes are all stupid…. we export oil!! wtf! we should not get affected at all!! in fact we should get more profit!
my fucking social life is limited cos of this shit….everywhere i go is all toll here there everywhere…like shit! fucking broke!
everytime i pour fuel i just get pissed off!! more than 100 bux is spent!! kiss my ass!! now i really hope this stupid govt falls down!! all those bastards will burn in hell!! i’d rather see another guy where a lot of ppl doubt to take over this country than a stupid prick who robs us all or an idiot who blows up (literally!!) women…
it’s time for a change….jim…change party…dun be a dickhead…
talk about your social life, my social life has even becoming more & more limited !!
You see, with God’s will everything will prevail.
I think these kind of leaders are made out of bunch rich spoiled brats since they’re were kids. They forgot their purpose: to serve the people. Corruption like mad. Cronies comes first! Cronyism and Nepotism. I do believe those are the routes of all problems today we are all facing.
They forgot about those people who lives on wooden houses, who never watch astro, or never eat TGI Friday (shit, now I feel like eating @ T.G.I.F
)...
Pak Lah tak tengok ke video2 macam ni? Patut bagi die tgnk bagi sedar skit tentang keadaan sebenar rakyat.
....ZZZZZZZZZZ…..
That’s why I resolve not to buy a car for my working life.
I already notice the statement “we will not increase the oil price” which in the end, is a bull shit statement from our prime minister for the past 2-3 years ago.
I rather walk than burden my living cost just for the sake of never ending increasing of oil price.
Yesterday in The Star paper, there’s this some short calculation of living cost of some low income people.
Guess what, RM3000 is not enough! That calculation includes oil, food and beverage, tuition/school fees and etc. How could someone like them could survive?
We’re pretty much have the same condition as those Malay in Singapore, they are now suffering of what we are suffering.
I almost sell my car !! Now I have to take train or buses just to go KL. Kind of downgrades our lifestyle.
We just graduate yet we have to stand all these things even before we got our own jobs. I have to agree with you. Singaporean Malays are suffering. Got a friend there told.
Imagine those who earns RM3000 and have few children…haih >_<
first we see the issue of petrol which is the main thing thats rice but before that i think this should be clearify from this video is that we see majority of the ppl that are being taken comment are malays and they say how bad shape they are. i have to say its not only the malays but other races that are being affected regardless of chinese indian or others. hey i mean poverty does not recognize race or religion.
i still remember few years ago when petrol price are cheap and u only need to pay less to get more while now is the other way round. we see the chain reaction of everything rise. from the video we can see wat a big lie is the government is and how inefficient is the government is.
i recently received a forward message through ym which says our malaysian government keep comparing oil prices with other NON OIL PRODUCTION COUNTRY. go and check places like saudi arabia or iran or those oil production company. i remember most is if not mistaken price for petrol in Iran only cost Rm0.25 hey if this is the price for it i don mind going back and forth kl everyday man. (okay provided the toll price is cheap) but from here we see that y? y? as far as my knowledge comes in, malaysia is exporting our petrol which is good quality and import cheap petrol which we are using. wat is the government thinking. why we have to pay higher? we pay higher is because we are importing. when we import the price goes high. instead of the government thinking of rising the petrol price might as well think of a way of how to be self sufficient as in we produce things to meet our demand.
i still got a lot of things to say but for now i just put a stop here and say that our government is not sufficient enough to curb with the current problem
Lek dulu, biar minyak naik, pakai larr NGV, laitaa
curb corruption!! things like this can be solved for sure…
we have 2 open our eyes n see all this….good one jim
Ive opened the youtube links and some how my pc went off by itself. I think, its too stressful too handle all the politics propaganda loads.
Hum. Don’t wanna think about it. Vote pon tidak. I rest my case.
