Scene 1. Bangsar Sweet metformin side effects in men Appam Shop.

3 young and trendy Indians gals happily whacking sweet appam. ( Thenga paal appam )

A chinese lady monk approaches them with a pot, taking money in exchange of talisman. One of the girls gives RM5 to her. Doesnt take the talisman,just ask the monk to keep the money. Good hearted I would say.

Scene 2.

Same girls, happily talking tassu bussu english.

A 30′ish Indian guy. Seems to be victim of the deraded disease,Polio.His leg were in a very strange shape. Cant walk. Crawls on the dirty floor acrooss cigaratte butts and tissues papers selling ‘local’ Parker pen. He is not a beggar. He is selling pens to make a living.

When he approached the Indian girls, one of the girls simply ‘buat bodoh’. Another girl made that “ewwww’ face looking at the Indian guy. The third girl chased him away by yelling , “eh po po .. yette poo.” * Go go,go far away*.

Moral of the story?

I really dont know. It happened about a week ago in the ever famous bangsar sweet appam stall. The poor guy and the girls keep on ‘appearing’ in my mind. Why the girls didnt give him some money? A malay dude sitting near them bought him a teh tarik. I bought a pen.It works just fine.

That’s the least we could do. It is not like we are going to hell if we dont help him,or we go to heaven if help him.It is not like we are GOOD or BETTER human because we helped him. It is not like the Indian girls are devils.

It is just a human thing to do. To put a smile on another being is worth buying the teh tarik or the pen.

But why these Indian girls cant even give him at least few cents or ringgits to this guy? Why the Indian girls didnt give money or support him in any other way? He is my ‘kind’. He is the same ‘kind’ with the girls. Its not a obligation to help the same kind. But if they cant help him,why they must treat him like a piece of trash?

Were there more interested in ‘serving’ God through the lady Monk. ( Alot of Indians think,just by donating money to temple, they are good people and they will go to heaven.That is one of the reasons Temples are very rich in Malaysia ).

Or were they looking ‘down’ at that Indian guy? We , Indians are quite famous in looking down our own community.

I just don’t know… I will never ever know… I am just a confused soul like you .
