this is a rotten idea but still i feel like writing my wits out.
one night of this week me and my adik2 went out for dinner. dataran ipoh - a place yang very open, yelah gerai-gerai je. but actually we can get really good food there, especially char kuey tiau daging. restoran indulgence mana ade menatang ni kan. so takyah la nak attitude sangat kalau nak makan a cheap good food.
well nothing there. just tengok gelagat orang je when suddenly a busker approached our gerai. he sang kamalia by sweet charity. not as good as ramli sarip in fact dia pun pakai gitar kapok je. however we all terhibur je simply because none from our stall chased him away or even throw eggs on him. i reminisced our time when we had a big family feast kat kl dulu. my uncles paid a busker to sing to us, just for us. well ok what. kalau kat restoran mahal they have this fella playing violin for you, gerai can also have what. even it's no mozart or whatsoeva, but still it is an entertainment.
mamat ni nyanyi ngan penuh soul. good then. and biasa lah at the end of the show, buskers will collect money. and that moment touched my heart till now. he approached each table with his guitar bag. some put money in, which is ok for me. but some just ignore him while he was standing there like a beggar. hey come on man, hulur la barang seringgit dua kat dia. tak luak lah duit kau yang berkepuk-kepuk tu. kalau dah bakhil sangat, i bet we must have coins, seposen dua. why not share?
some might think - duit aku aku punya pasal lah kan. but the money wasn't yours pun. it was meant to be shared with others. tu rezeki dari Allah kot. and personally i think a busker deserves to be given something. yelah bukan senang nak tebalkan muka main and nyanyi depan orang kan. kau boleh ke buat? then some might think - sapa suh dia main kat sini. aku tak perlukan hiburan. blah jauh2 la. well, yang kau gi makan situ sapa suruh? gi lah makan kat mcd ke, johnny ke. kelas sikit. or kalau sengkek sangat gi lah masak sendiri kat umah. oh come on. rezeki Allah ada di mana-mana. di situ lah tempat busker cari rezeki.
i think the people like this busker, orang buta yang jual tisu, orang buta yang main keyboard depan globe silk store tu lebih mulia dari orang yang muka stock sympathy and come to you with a letter saying "Disahkan orang bernama si polan bin polan menghidap penyakit tuuuuut" and dia mintak sumbangan. at least these peeps i mentioned above BERUSAHA for money. so they deserve to get something for what they done. dari tak buat apa tapi harapkan simpati. tapi not fair lah if i go against the beggar without knowing their true probs. but as i said, rezeki Allah kenalah share ngan umat manusia ni. bukan hak kau sorang. so why not? bagi jelah kalau dah dia mintak sumbangan dari kau sikit. hulur jelah brapa yang kau rasa patut dan mampu.
well. bukan nak marah or benci beggars. i was taught by my parents to give away even though the beggar wasn't a convincing beggar at all. sebab among those people yang ask for sympathy to, we don't know he/she might be malaikat yang sedang menguji kita. and i hold to that saying. come anybody in any form. kalau dia perlukan pertolongan, tolong jelah. tak luak apa pun. duit boleh cari. tapi doa orang yang kita tolong tu boleh ke kutip kat depan halaman rumah?
why? because one day we might beg for help too. and bila kita wat sesuatu utk orang pastu harap dia bagi kita rezeki ngan apa yang kita buat tu tup tup orang tu cakap "sape suruh kau buat?" mmg rasa nak kasi pelempang je kan. so why not share with others. tak salah kot rezeki nanti bertambah.
hmm. actually benda ni is not a teachable knowledge. learn by heart and soul. kena pikir. macam kesedaran sivik. ye idak?
bye.
