Mummy,You have to buy for
me the RM2000
cell phone!
My friends have it.
Mummy, I don’t really need a cell phone as
yet. I see many of my friends wasting their money on pre-paid
cards!
My education is more important than aimless chit-chatting, playing games and gossiping
through SMS on the cell phone. All this can wait.
Daddy, I am going to work after my
PMR. The monthly allowance you give me is not enough!
After my PMR, it’d be good for me to do more reading, improve
my computer knowledge and help more in the home.
I need more money to dye my hair, buy cosmetics, and those
branded dresses I see my friends
wearing.
My foolish friends are so
materialistic … I know one day
they will regret their actions.
Mummy, how can I eat the
lousy food you cook? Let me have RM10 to
go to McDonald’s to have a decent
meal!
Thank you Mummy for the delicious
food you cooked. We are
indeed very lucky. So many poor ones are
dying of hunger in
Africa.
I am fed-up of the same old-fashioned clothes I
have!Mummy, I need to have some hot pants, mini-
skirts, low-cut dresses , see-through blouses and tight jeans! The Hong
Kong Stars wear them!
All I need are some simple clothes and I’m content. We
should donate the money saved to the
poor who do not even have proper
clothes.
Daddy, I am Daddy, I am going over over
to my to my friend’s friend’s
house to do house to do some some school school
revision. I revision. I am not am not coming coming back for back for dinner.dinner.
(Lying)(Lying)
I’m going to have a fine time at the cyber café.
Daddy, I’ll be using
the Computer for about
an hour to help me in
my Project.
The Internet can be very useful. It’s
unfortunate many of my friends are
abusing it … playing network games
always, aimless chit-chatting…
School is so boring. I
shall phone my friends to go shopping and dancing in the disco
…
It’s my duty and
responsibility to study hard. My parents are
working so hard for my education.
Daddy,I’m getting
bored. I want to have an I-pod, a powerful
digital camera and a hand-held computer!
I have simple needs. A
simple Tape player makes
me happy.I think I’ll help to teach the
poor children to sing and
dance.
All my expensive things will
attract the girls!
Daddy, the school holidays are coming. You
must bring us overseas for the
holidays … I don’t want local
places!
During the school
holidays, I’d have more time for my hobbies …
jogging, chess … I
can also help in the
Community Library.
I’ll be in Form 4
next year, Daddy.
You have to buy for
me a motor
bike. Ah Soh has
one!
Thanks Mummy for the pet dog.
I’ll look after it with
responsibility, care and love.
I need lots of money … to buy
my Reebok, tickets for the pop concert, gifts for my
girlfriends on Valentine’s Day,
a Sony Play Station …
These stories of the
poverty and suffering of
so many people are
really touching. The poor
indeed need help.
I need to save money to do some
charity.
For Your Wise ReflectionFor Your Wise Reflection
* When will we reduce our ‘wanting’, desires and greed? Will they bring us true happiness, peace and freedom of the mind?* When will we learn to count our blessings and be content with what we have? There are so many suffering ones out there in our world.* When will we open out our hearts in loving-kindness and compassion for people in need?* When will we realize that to be truly human we need to care and share?* When will we see that all will finally come to ‘nought’? Only our KAMMA will follow us.
