Personals:
Late night whenever I pass by closing pasar malams, I always had a strong sense of unhappiness. I couldn't tolerate the fact that the sellers polute the ground till such extend and waits for the poor sweeper to TAKE CARE of those junks scattered all around. It wasn't to blame if the sweeper is well paid, but it's obviously otherwise. I just pray that Malaysia would treasure these labours and provide better environment for them, and for churches to reach out to touch their hearts and souls.
