Kids, exploited?

It's my hair treatment day and aha i needed that since I was in serious stress. So after letting the cun hairstylist, Ginny treated my ahir, I went to pay the parking ticket where a boy, probably aged around 11 to 13 approached me with boxes of raisin in his hand. He was wearing a worn red baju melayu and a songkok.


He: Beli kismis kak?
Me: Takpe, makaseh.
He: Belilah kak, saya nak tolong mak saya. Mak saya sakit.
Me: He?


Right. That was not the first time I saw him. Not to say I'm not kesian but hell, anyone could detect that kind of lie. I saw him several times at different malls with his other friends sometimes persuading people or sometimes running around playing tag or something.


Dik, if you really want to help your mum, why don't you go back and study? What are you doing merayau-ing during school hours anyway?


Well, maybe he's not panjang akal enough to think that in my opinion mungkin dia dan kawan-kawan mereka dipergunakan. What frusfurate me was, the product is some kind of supposed-to-be-Islamic product. Siapala yang sampai hati nak suruh budak-budak ni jual mende tu dari pagi sampai malam? Ni kadang-kadang aku pegi beli kfc malam-malam pon aku nampak muka budak tu jugak.


Come on, to help your muslim fellow, to me that's not the way. Why not you don't use kids to gain profit and do it in some other way?


My second experince was in section 2 where I wanted to bind my paperwork. When I was about to get into my car, a girl approached me.


She: Kak, boleh bagi 5 ringgit tak? Saya dah berapa hari tak makan?
Me: Bukan semalam pon awak cakap mende yang sama ke?
She: * Went away.


Hell yeah, I heard she told the same thing to a pacik the day before.I saw her once with her parents, unsure whether it's her mum or whatever but they were shopping for things and she was sucking for ice cream. Muka mereka berdua adalah sama and they have the same style.


A week after that, I saw she talked to a macik who was about to get into the car. I did not say anything and went into a kedai to buy chocolate[i loove!] but not too long after that I saw the macik and the girl entering the shop. The macik bought beras for the girl. Instead of giving her money she bought something for her which to me was wise.


My point is, where are their guidance?
And do they not know what these kids are doing


Kalau ye pon nak buat extra income, itu bukan caranya.


The saddest part, both of them are malay and muslim.
