Was having lunch with my fiancee at amcorp mall today when a young chinese guy suddenly appear out of nowhere and sit at our table.
I am pissed at first, but later decided to hear to what this guy would say. Representing a charity home somewhere in PJ, he is collecting donations from public to aid them. Without me asking for any legal document, he's already shows up all the letters including his identification card to prove that he is doing none other than charity works. What amazed me is that he is on semester break and have nothing to do at home. Rather than died in boredom, he decided to be a volunteer doing this charity job. something i myself would think twice and still hesitate to do it (sound really selfish)
Countless time people from charity home approached me asking for donation and none so far i've seen a young malay doing it (except during friday prayer). An explaination from my fiancee seems logic enough for my brain to work the equation.
Most of them volunteers are those who are studying in college and was looking ahead for a better opportunities in future, and their resume would be filled with charity works rather than Curricular activities participated in secondary schools (which was still included in resume for job applications that require 10 years experience working). Societies out there (whom are more sensitive on humanitarian issues) would easily recognise these experience and how many gold medals you won in 100 metres relay during school sports day 10 years ago won't help (in malaysia, this might only happen if you're applying a job in MERCY). Universities abroad would love to see that if they're applying for placement in their university.
Of which remind me about my friend gopal, who love to do volunteer jobs for charity home.
While most of our malay young now would normally krumping around aimlessly at malls around city centre puffing smoke out of their nostril, that guy would smile as he's looking forward seeing his business empire growing.
I did heard somebody says "with or without DEB, we are still here waiting for the skies to rain gold while others are making gold"
