Customs rules might be a harm more than good sometimes

Nanyang Siang Pau reported that a woman, who was in confinement after giving birth recently, suffered heatstroke and died while being treated in a hospital in Shandong province, China.

It was learnt that the woman, who was in her 20s, was not allowed to switch on the fan or air-conditioner although the weather was extremely hot.

Her family members also asked the woman to wear a long-sleeved blouse and pants, and to cover herself with a blanket.

Some Chinese believe that women who have given birth should not be exposed to cool air as it could lead to health problems in the future.

Too many rules and customs strictly given to pregnant ladies and does under confinement which required to obey. Sometimes you need to judge what is right and wrong and stand firm eventhough people might angry or hurt as you ignore their old custom rules.
We all need to adapt to current situation instead stuck to all the customs rules given by elders with "valid and practical reasons" which yourself must understand first before agree to it. 

Yes, as if you will awesome health without any issue till you die. As you age, your health is unavoidable deteriote so do not use lame reason to make a woman suffer due to your belief. 


Your body - your decision, not others.

In the end, the child is motherless as the mother just follow to old custom which even elders just follow previously.

Homeless in KL city

There was once I was in Pudu area while waiting for my bro-in law to finish his work at late evening, my partner and I decided to walk around Pudu Sentral and saw a long queue of people next to McDonald in Pudu area, at first I thought it was night market. When I reached there, I realise people are lining to get a proper meal from a charity organisation. The members of the charity organisation was motivated and caring as giving out a meal to homeless ones in organised manner.

I cannot even see the end of the line, just imagine how long is the queue of people eagerly waiting for a meal to full their stomach. At that moment, I feel shock on how many people with different race actually homeless and poor. I even saw some of them are old and skinny taxi driver yet unable to afford a proper meal. Some even feel ashamed that they are queuing up for a meal but no one will rather choose hunger than pride when out of desperation. I realised as the country is developing, there is a drawback as cost of living may not affordable to everyone even food and shelter. No one will choose to be homeless if they are given a choice.

Sometimes when I do see some homeless guy especially those who do not beg on the street, they are not drug addict but unwanted by their family or public. I do give a little of money occasionally and pray hope their lives will be better soon. Really sad to see these people in this situation.

After reading the news in The Star, I do understand more about homeless people feeling. The journalist really put effort to do this article is really appreciated as bringing more people aware what actually happening in our own city.

It is quite limited info about this link given to the public about Social Welfare Department (JKM) http://www.jkm.gov.my/# , which may help? Only in Bahasa Malaysia, no English given in the website.

But I do not think homeless people will afford to search net and get information to find help on their situation. 

Most of the homeless ones are illiterate, do hope govt should do more effort to help these people truly to assist them.

Deed you have done, end with respect others will show in the end

Nowdays people do tend to live and brag what they have done for others and boasting constantly. But when you are doing good deed and help others, you do NOT need to keep telling the people that you are helping them as a constant reminder to them that you have helped them. This is not call helping, you telling them owed you for your effort of so call helping.

When you help someone or anyone, you do it because you willing to it without expecting any repay back. If you list down those assistance you have done for others, but it is call repayment required.

This morning not a good day

This morning my colleague told me our ex-colleague has passed away from cancer last weekend. 2 years ago, she was diagnosed with breast cancer but end of last year the cancer has spread to her brain. Last year I called her and she sounded positive and determined to overcome it even she just came out from the brain surgery. She practically sounded like she is the one consoling me but she is the patient.

It is my privilege to know her as she was one person who is caring, attentive, smartass in whatever she does. She is so young and just started her marriage. She really battled with the cancer really hard and never gave up till her last breath.

Life is so unfair and anytime a life can be taken away. Life is precious and should always live to the fullest without any regret as we never know when is our turn.
