let's fight poverty .....

"Some people came to my house and advised me to pull out because of my age," she said. "But I told them that I will stay to the end. I know I am old and not wealthy, but I won't pull out."

elctions...all done now...what's left ??? parties that have won to work as promised...my hopes ...for them to fight poverty and give better education for younger generation....speaking of poverty, i've found this interesting article abt Tok Mun...eldest candidate in the recent elections (thanks Marina for the article )

well..Tok Mun lost in the elections but her spirits stays and captured my heart....hope it will capture yours as well....some of us might be thinking...why an old grandma wanted to contest???
my answer is simple....she wanted to give poor people hopes and a fight !!!
imagine she herself is poor yet has a heart of fighting for her and others fight....she might feels that the rulling party have not done enough for her and others like her....she may feel neglected...so she decided to fight on her own......well off course she had young people backing her up with blogs, campaigning and all.... but her courage should make us all realised that we must fight for own rights and stand for it.....these young people from different races should be applauded and praised .... is situation that bad until and old grandma decides to fight on her own ??? since she lost, she need our assistance to cover her expanses during the elections.... she needs abt RM15k... not much actually if i can get 1500 readers to donate RM 10 each..... why shld we do this??? simple .. respect her courage and give hopes for people like her.... so all i'm asking here for UOLS to give that RM 10 of yours to her good deeds.... which i'm sure we can easily spent on fast food or pre-paid top up .... please go to her blog for details on how to donate....

back on poverty.... i've been here in sabah for more than a year now.... and have seen many cases where poverty "does it best"... there are lots of students not able to continue their studied due to poverty... these are smart kids and for that they've been offered to continue studies at local university yet they can't afford...though with government loan and so on they still need a little help to kick start their steps to university... i've seen it !!! i've talked to them ... they did stay at my housing area for couple of months due to their intensive English programme ( while waiting for their STPM results and offers from local university) quite a number of them been offered to continue their studies yet had no choice to go back home and get a job..... they are young and smart and should have be given options ..better options in life..... u really have to see how poor they are.... some of the students that stay at my housing area are currently studying at local college yet still facing the same problem.... their studies loan is yet to be approved...( might be because of the college registration problem with the government ) many of them had to return home as well.... does a loan take more than a year to be approved... i don't think so !!! why this college is allowed to be operated in the first place......???

BN won big time ... led by Dato Musa Aman....people here loves him..and yess i've been doin' my own survey... we hope that he would continue to fight poverty in sabah or give these young kids a chance for better education....at higher level off course and not just SPM !!!

whatever it is...poverty still here and i'm ending this note with hopes that all political parties do as what have been promised .... forgets about who gets which project.... can YOU ???
