Ketika seorg rakan saya menyediakan tesis berkaitan kemiskinan, berdiskusi tentang operasi lalang, DEB, growth, aras kemiskinan tegar, koefisien gini & etc. Saya jarang ambil pusing. Mungkin mendengar fakta yang dinyatakan tanpa mengambilkira permasalahan lain. Development Economics bukan bidang saya, jauh sekali kajian yang saya lakukan yg selama ini membuatkan saya keluh kesah. Why bother your friend's thesis problem, when you have your own problem to settle. Bagi saya rakyat Malaysia tidak ramai yang berada di bawah tahap kemiskinan tegar, jika berdasarkan aras kemiskinan yang dijadikan petunjuk. But today, I found something interesting in the newspapers which made me wonder and think many times. Satu persoalan biasa tetapi memerlukan jwpn yg mungkin luar biasa - adakah rakyat M'sia sgt miskin?
1. Miskin harta - sehingga sanggup mengutip duit syiling di tepi jalan
2. Miskin jiwa - sehinggap sanggup mengenepikan rasa malu mengambil duit kepunyaan org lain
3. Miskin moral -sehingga sanggup bergembira dengan hak org tanpa meikirkan musibah empunya hak.
3. Miskin agama- sehingga sanggup melupakan halal & haram, hak & batil.
It is so pathetic looking at these people collecting the coins by the road side. I don't know what others might think but pardon me i think, poor them, they are really "poor".

Assalamua'laikum, Dear Azuriy,
I also feel sad to the current condition of our society. A bigger fraction in our society is "miskin agama". Since agama need to be learned (there is no other way to improve our agama except to learn it by going to any places that teach agama, especially in masjids) those who are miskin agama are also "jahil agama". With 'miskin agama" they are automatically "miskin moral" and "miskin jiwa".
After I read the news yesterday, I was hoping today, a new news would published correcting the public's earlier interpretation of the scene. I was hoping a new news telling us that those who we saw collecting/picking up coins on the road were actually helping the victim as well as helping the highway maintenance team to make the road accessable and safe again to motorist. Coins that scattered on the road could make the road slippery.
I would suggest that our journalist also need to 'think' before reporting somethings and try also be fare to our society especially to muslims community.
Let us together "pikul the amanah" to educate our self and our society.
1 question for you Sis; Can we say "kemiskinan" = "econo-money"? Hex3. Keep smiling Sis, ma-as-sa-la-mah wa-i-lal-li-qa'
