Being charitable is un-Singaporean. Steal as much donations as you can. The world does not owe you a living, nor do you to the world.
The video of those well-dressed, amply-fed and photogenic people in the video shown "helping" the poor and sick brings to memories the sad mission undertaken by a group of retirees who till today help in the deep interior of a certain province in Indonesia.
These people go round begging their friends for used (discarded) wearing apparels, soft toys, old shoes, pots, pans, spoons, cough mixtures, paracetamol and other neccessities like the cheapest milk powder, pencils and pens along with exercise books and then head for the most impoverished and disease-ridden communities by long winding mountainous roads, sea and fast flowing rivers, where they
personally hand over the items to the village folks
on house-to-house visits.
These are the true-blooded un-sung heroes who have no money and resources besides their own meagre pensions and HDB homes.
These are the people who simply cannot afford to make videos like the one seen on No. 13.
They simply
do not want any publicity for their mission for the poor, despite being advised by the heads of lingkungan, daerahs or kapupatens (level of municipal councils) in Indonesia to approach the local TV or newspaper so that the situation on the ground can be highlighted.
These "true angels"
do not belong to any religious order, sects, cults or place of worship.. They are lone rangers........
They are armed only with their
clearest inner conscience, HOPE and the belief in a Single Creator.
Hence they DO NOT use religious verses but only offer words of HOPE to uplift the down-trodden people.
They arrived with their bag fulls and return home with empty baggages but a mind full of fond memories.
Some of them are only left with sufficient money for transportation and airport taxes.
Sometimes they don't even have money to purchase a bowl of the cheapest "mee-bakso" from a warong outside the airport for they look forward to lunch that would be provided for onboard the flight.
They are personally known only to the poor people, their own family members and good friends here and in the country that they volunteer.
Hopefully GOD too exists and know these generous and poor volunteers who struggle every month and suffer along with the unfortunate masses.
The food eaten by the poor is what becomes their daily meals.
Do you know who these people are??
I know them best and I understand their true plight and unflinching desire to continue on their mercy missions.
Thanks to
SILKAIR that accept their additional weight in excess of what is allowed per passenger.
Most important, a Big ":Thank You" to the gracious Immigration, Customs, Polsek, Polres and Polda members of the country where they work for not holding back their baggages.
If only they could have been rich like some people who don religious garb and cheat the masses.
On hindsight, these "phantom-volunteers" prefer to be who they are and continue with their sacred mission thereby accumulating love and compassion.
HELP TRUTHFULLY WITHOUT any motives.
HELP EVERY HUMAN in dire straits and need of HELLLPPPP.
Do Not Accumulate WEALTH through DECEIT, FRAUD and LIES.
I am truly scared of the way KARMA works.
Finally, always remember, "A single tongue cursing is bad but a thousand cursing tongues spells utter disaster.
These people wish to remain ANONYMOUS.
