7/05 Pray? Does even praying helps now when things turned out so hideous? So yeah coming to the purpose of this entry, I went to collect my portion of money for transport expenses incurred to come home for voting from one of the government political party's office on the day of the election. What I found out was a bunch of ignorant society waiting over there for the same purpose too. As the election heat was still on during that day, people acted very concernedly about their rights all of a sudden.
What do you do when you approach a government office to claim something? I'm pretty sure you would bring your identification and relevant documents with you. On top of that, when something concerns money, you need to inform the ones in charge that you would be coming to collect your money so that they could make an arrangement for it. Why on earth are our Malaysian Indians living on ridiculous ignorance and blame the authorities for not granting them money as they fail to inform people in charge of it?!
I saw them all blaming the lady for not giving them transport money. When the lady clarified the situation and told the people that they are responsible to notify about it earlier to ease preparation and arrangement, the public rebelled and said they DON'T KNOW about the procedures beforehand. Does that even count as a valid reason?
I abhor the I DON'T KNOW statement here! Ignorance is not always BLISS people!
Your I DON'T KNOW means:
1) You are escaping from further questions on your knowledge or credibility to exercise your rights the correct way.
2) You are a pathetic opportunist to dig your invalid share on public money.
3) You expect people to work for you all the time and for the information come knocking your door.
4) You are not steadfast and do not educate yourself on exercising your rights the fairway.
People, be fair when it comes to claiming your rights! Know what you are supposed to do and how to do it before you even think of stepping at people's doors and start speaking for yourselves. That's a better identity of educated people and citizens! Don't shame yourself!
