Subscribe in a reader | Subscribe by Email I’ve been listening to Minnal FM’s programme called “Kannadi Thundukal” (Pieces of Glass) – hopefully I got the name correct. It airs on Thursday nights at 10.30pm.
So far I heard three episodes already. The most striking one was the one on the gum-sniffing guy. The fella talked about how he fell into the addiction and what it did to him. Very touching story.
The second episode was on ignorance of families who do not take effort to apply for identity cards. One guy said he lost his IC, couldn’t afford to pay the fine because he was so poor. So until now, no sort of identification on him. A guest lawyer also commented on public giving donation to poor families, until the families need not take effort to come out of their problem. He termed it as lifestyle disease. I kind of disagree with the generalisation made by the lawyer but he did mention that we have to investigate the root cause of the problem faced by the families instead of just giving groceries or cash aid. I agree on that point. We have to ensure the aid given is properly spent. For most cases, we will directly pay the rent or school fees on behalf of the parents, so that there’s no possibility of money being misused.
Yesterday, I heard a case of a youth who turned into gangsterism/rowdyism due to influence of his father. Luckily, after marriage and being guided by MCPF people, he managed to turn a new leaf.
By the way, Minnal FM is on Facebook, so says the Djs in the morning show, Kalai Kathir. Anyone joined their group?
Balan,
Malaysian indians themselves should by now be aware of the importance of obtaining proper documents. If you loose your identity card then the penalty is high. I suggest that they make an effort to obtain one even if the penalty is high. This people sometimes don’t understand the consequences.
They need to change their life style in order to compete with other races.
I hope i did not offend anybody. I just saying from my experience.
Thank you.
