...... Can I Borrow 25 bucks?

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.
SON: 'Daddy, may I ask you a question?'
DAD: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the man.
SON: 'Daddy, how much do you make an hour?'
DAD: 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the man said angrily.
SON: 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?'
DAD: 'If you must know, I make $50 an hour.'
SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down.
SON: 'Daddy, may I please borrow $25?'

The father was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I don't work hard everyday for such childish frivolities.
‘The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $25.00 and he really didn't ask for money very often.
The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door. 'Are you asleep, son?' He asked. 'No daddy, I'm awake,' replied the boy. 'I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier' said the man. 'It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $25 you asked for.' The little boy sat straight up, smiling. 'Oh, thank you daddy!' he yelled.
Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father. 'Why do you want more money if you already have some?' the father grumbled. 'Because I didn't have enough, but now I do,' the little boy replied. 'Daddy, I have $50 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.' The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness.
It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that $50 worth of your time with someone you love. If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of hours. But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

Deeply hurt by racial and religious slurs

FIFTY-one years of Independence and yet the majority in Malaysia still continues to racially stereotype her Indian citizens.

As a schoolboy, I was constantly referred to as “budak Keling”. They never understood that the cow was sacred and eating beef is haram for Hindus.

Worst are the usual myopic questions like “Which estate are you from? Do you walk to school?”

This happened despite my best intentions of explaining to them that my father is a lecturer and my mother a respectable staff nurse and we stayed in the city and travelled by car.

At times, a teacher will choose to unleash cynical remarks like “Kelas nampak gelaplah bila kamu ada” (The classroom is dark because of your presence.)

Once I informed my teacher that we Hindus observe strict vegetarianism on certain days. The teacher was baffled as to what vegetarianism meant despite the global understanding of such observance. To rub salt into the wound, they served me vegetables fried with beef during one school lunch gathering.

I explained to them Hindu practices and beliefs, both theologically and philosophically. And yet they still believe that we are praying to rocks shaped in various animal forms.

Now, I am a respectable medical doctor serving in Sabah. I can’t help but feel hurt by so many of these racial and religious slurs continuously hurled at us.

Since primary school, we are taught the racial and religious sensitivities of the majority, but they seem uninformed about ours.

Are we second-class citizens of Malaysia? Have we not fought together for Malaysian Independence? Didn’t we strive for the continuous development of Malaysia? Didn’t we contribute equally to the process of nation building?

Didn’t we help to put Malaysia on the world arena by conquering Mount Everest and also brought fame in badminton and hockey?

Despite all this, the common misperception of the majority towards us still prevails. Mohandas K. Gandhi once said: “The test of the majority lies in the treatment of the minority.”

Every day I pray that one day all of us will join hands regardless of race, religion, creed or colour and, for once, proudly identify ourselves as Malaysians.
