Guess what.....these people borroed less then RM 2000.
What would happen if you are borrowed RM 200,000 from a loan shark ?

And where is the logic and why do people do it ?

most of these people are hawkers, or doing small businesses that only takes cash,
and they do not have audited accounts or pay slips........

bank will definately turn them away, so....where else would they get a loan from ?

What else....other then loan sharks ? its easy to get a loan from them,
no questions ask.

VICTORY ?

PERAK

What I have read this morning.........

PUTRAJAYA: The Barisan Nasional will appeal the High Court decision declaring Perak Pas secretary Datuk Nizar Jamaluddin as the lawful Perak menteri besar as soon as possible.

BN chairman and Umno president Datuk Seri Najib Razak said: "We will appeal against the decision and we must get a date as soon as possible."

He hoped a date would be fixed today.

"We feel we have a strong case, a strong footing. So, we will appeal the court decision," Najib told a press conference after chairing a meeting of Pemudah, the taskforce set up to facilitate business, at the Prime Minister's Office yesterday. SOurces- N.S.T.

Well......it went from one group to another and then back again.

so.....when will all this end ?

isn't this all costing a lot of tax payers money ?

Our money....(Tax payers' money).......sigh

and this is all about politics, power and ofcourse MONEY !

Please end this soon, one way or another.

BEWARE !

PETALING JAYA: A coffee shop here has been turning hundreds of its regular customers into drug addicts by pushing a "five-star" herbal tea to them.

Each day, more than 150 glasses of tea laced with codeine are sold to unsuspecting customers who keep coming back for more because of the high that the drug gives.

Codeine, the active drug in many cough mixtures, is used by drug addicts as a substitute for hard drugs. The discovery was made by a Health Ministry team yesterday, when it raided a pharmacy in New Town here.

The team discovered that up to 1,000 codeine tablets a week had been sold to the coffee shop.

Next time think twice when you are going to try something out of the norm.
just stick to the normal black coffee will do.

People will do anything just to get more money !

EARTH HOUR

I suppose this is what everyone is taking about.

well atleast for this week anyway........

Its for a good cause, and i was reading the article on it, and it seems like there are plenty of people all over the world who are going to switch off their lights on saturday night...

Makes me wonder, is this just a big publisity thing that corporate giants get to lie to the public and say....... hey, i turn my lights off too.

But what happens after this weekend ??

Back to normal i guess, if not.....how can they answer to the shareholders ??

After all, making money is the ultimate aim.

But hey, atleast its a start.

I will be turning off my lights as well..........

Money and love

What i read in the papers today.........

ONE In A Million host Awal Ashaari takes a coffee break and confides that with money, love will find you.

Q: Which is better, having someone to love and no money or having money but no one to love?

A: I always believe that when you have money people will love you more.

There's no such thing as having money but no one to love because when you have money, you will definitely find love!

Maybe it is true.......that everyone thinks money will buy happiness (aka LOVE) ?

The Meaning of MONEY

As some might think, without money, means no life.....
might be true to a certain degree, but hey, how much is enough ? sufficient ?

what is the gauge for this limit ?

Lets say, when you have $1000, then you might be happy for a day, and 2 days after that, you might think, hey!....... that $1000 won't buy me the new car i want.

so...... after a while, you have $100,000 (say....)

then you might say......hey!.....that $100,000 can only buy me a sedan, and not one of those sports models.........

and ofcourse.....this goes on...... $ 1 mil....... $ 2 mil........ ?? where will it end ??
it won't. Until we realise, what are the basics, and what truely makes us happy.

would you still say MONEY >>??

No doubt. life is tough. eveyrone has problems. and not everyone around you understands or care about your problems. other then the people closest to you that care.
Theres no problem in this world that can not be solved.
solving problems takes time and patience.

SURE....wish for all the money you can get in an instant...
but then again, don't forget...... theres never a free lunch in this world either !

Money is Not EVERYTHING

Looking at things from a different view !!

ANOTHER DAY

Another tiring day at work today......
work, work and more work.
I should be very happy that theres so much work, but then again, theres somthing not right thats making me feel bad.

Another promise broken ?? maybe ??
as promised,....... the most commonly used phrase.... (Inshallah....kita akan bayar minggu ini) !
is it really in god's hand when it come down to a matter of paying or not ??

In a way, yes and very much no !.
We all beleive in GOD !, but the problems we face nowadays, its got nothing to do with god,
but instead...... the greed of MEN !

If theres an earthquake, i understand, a flood, maybe...... tsunami..... God's will maybe....
but work done and not getting paid.....!! i think not so

why order someone to do the job when you can't pay ?
and if you can pay.....why not pay instead of delaying.......??

normal working people suffers because of the greed of a few !!!
