Untitled. I prefer it to be like this, this time

I was in Kuala Lumpur, one of the busiest city in Malaysia.

Pity. That's what I think of this city. Pity, as I looked around, seeing nothing but cars. Pity. The people have huge cars and house, but with a heart smaller than those who are not exposed to development. Pity. I saw a man, with no legs to walk, lying on the sidewalk, waiting for people to throw him a coin or two. Pity. I saw a blind old man, playing some instrument with a case in front of it. There's a few coins, only a couple of MYR1 in the case. We see this a lot, we see this almost everyday. We, who live in towns like this.

I wonder, why did the security ignored the man who was lying just 2 metres away from him. I saw a lot of foreign people, and they seem to be looking at the man. I felt a little ashamed of my own country, my own leaders. They promised, that these weak people will get help. They promised, that we won't be seeing them on the streets anymore. They promised, that these people will be given a better place to live. How many promises have these politicians made, just to gather votes, and how many of the promises are kept? They are lying, because they promised then broke the promise. The ones who got the hit, the people, the ones who are not at the top, mostly the ones at the bottom, like the ones that I mentioned above. It is sad, that there are people who are proud to be a sponsor for Akademi Fantasia, Malaysian Idol or Mentor but what good are those shows to us? What can they give in return? Entertainment? Duh.

What about those people, who barely able to live through the day with basic needs? Them, whom the politicians have promised a lot of things yet unable to fulfill them?Them, whom the big money-making companies often ignored. Them, whom are always being shunned aside in the community. I wonder, have we lost so much due to the urbanisation? Does the increase in development make us lost the most important thing in life? Losing the ability to see what is right or wrong, losing the gifts from God, love, passion, empathy and so much more. It's sad, because at the moment, all I can do is watch and do nothing (and write in my blog). It may not do much change, but that's for now. For now.

I swear, someday I'll do everything in my power to rectify this. I can't even feed myself, but someday I will. And when that day comes, let's pray that I haven't forget this. Let's pray that I won't forget every tiny little dreams that I have. Dreams that are supposed to keep me alive with a goal in my mind
