For a family who is in the brink of starvation and suicide comtempletations, my wish this Labour day cum Vesak day to all Malaysians is "Don't be too quick to judge but learn first to be grateful"...
Yes, I'm talking about the 'convieniently' forgotten ( if not for this paper- here ) and out-casted, unemployable Mynamar family whose lives took to an even more tragic turn and were themselves locked-up and subjected to endless hours of questioning by our famous"gestapo" styled police and separated from their own children, all because of being 'ignorant' !
We all took the 'moral high road' in being suspicious of the family's intentions and thus concured to mete out judgement of them being crooks, as opposed to our brag of being "caring Malaysians"! Not once did we stop to think otherwise....of course there were some with hearts ! But the rest of us flowed with the tide of being 'ungrateful'....and NOW the family has totally refused any form of help from Yin's family (both cash and food !) and had only one wish from Yin's family...that is...."the least they could have done was visited us when we were remanded for four days...it's not about the money...just giving us words of encouragement.......that would have been enough!!" ....and Yin's family had thousands of words of comfort from hundreds of "caring Malaysians" in their hour of gloom !!!!!!
As I choke on the Mynamar family's wishful words.... you go and have a "Happy Vesak Day and to my wife who today, two scores and three years ago, literally sent her mum into Labour".... happy birthday darling !

Betui...laa Shang..,
Ungrateful lot. We're in the minority here . . . need to blog the "down-trodden, the poor, the week" - the underdogs. Dunno 'bout the rest, but I firmly believe God firmly sides with the Opressed. Thank you bro' for highlighting...
-From one roustabout to another-
Heartbreaking...but did anyone explain the shaving of the head?
But honestly, it does sound a wee bit unbelievable...
ANyways, as for Yin's family, I cant speak for them, but having been dragged away, and treated like a criminal is indeed traumatising.
Lest you forget, here in Malaysia its guilty before proven innocent!
