Mind your own business!

After Myanmar was hit by typhoon, China was hit by the worst earthquake in 30 years on May 12. Many people died in these disasters. International societies are offering aids to Myanmar and China. This is moved by compassion and humanity. When our friends or neighbors are in need of assistance, we help.

So, Malaysia government offers aids to Myanmar and China. Good course. But don’t ask the people to donate. Where is all the money the tax payers paid? What is all the money the country has earned from exporting oil and other commodities?

The Malaysia government can’t even take care of the scarcity of rice in the country. It can’t even feed its own people now, and yet it offers help and urge the “Rakyat” (the people) to donate! Shame on you and mind your own business!
