An Undermining Of Generosity

In general, Malaysians are generous in many aspects. Be it Malay, Indian, Chinese and/or Caucasian, they are indeed generous. Among many other perspectives, I feel like bragging about Malaysian being so generous in giving "donation". Whether we realize it or not, a person and/or a group of people who are after these generous Malaysians (so called donors) exist at almost every corner of our city; mosques, markets, shop+ping complexes, sideroads, etc. Usually, this group of people come in 2 forms; beggars and official institue (or claimed to be). Bet yeah, they have everything to proof who they are, etc...

A specific event, this afternoon; while waiting for Alex, there was a group of youngsters (from my eyes) in front of Central Market, KL were persuading passersby to donate to the fund-rasing exercise for building a new home for "anak yatim" (parentless kids?). RM1.00 is to get the bookmarker in return & RM5.00 is for the plastic fan. I am sorry, I did not get any of those simply because I did not donate a single cent. So did Alex. When asked, Alex responded with exactly the same thought that has mingled my mind. It's the way they talk, behave & dress.

Being me a natural "rocker" myself (LOL...!), I can't seem to sync in when yougsters speak with rockers' style to an elderly like myself. Further to that, they did not behave in a way a-person-in-need should. To be a lil' bit exaggerate, the boy with loosen jeans that cannot fit their waist but their butt really dribble my appetite away. Plus with a girl who put on belly-cut tight t-shirt has truly turned my perception upside down.

Scold me for being bias, discerning, judicios, etc, etc. Nevertheless, the activity / exercise that they are after, did not suit them at all. Or rather, their organization should not send them at the first place.

Is it too much to say that our generosity has been undermined by certain group of people? Apart from that, the genuinity remains vague to my eyes. I remain uncertain of this situation. Think about it, a surge of frustation crosses the bottom part of my heart, at times. With the heart to help this under-privileged people like elderly, beggars and "anak yatim"; the truth behind it is sometime so disheartening... What do you think?

Who is responsible to control this?
Is it a responsibility of our government?
What proof should be really a proof? Etc.. Etc...
Hazy quentions continue... and continue....!!!
