CLIMBING FOR A GOOD CAUSE

Who would have thought, I could have fun and raise some fund for a needy cause? The needy in this case is two animal shelter namely Noah ark foundation and Malaysian dogs deserves better(mddb).

My friend shang ko came up with this idea of asking climbers to get their friends to sponsor them when they climb. All pledges/donation collected will be shared with the mentioned animal shelter. An event was created on facebook. Everyone was  posting how many sponsor they had and they amount pledged and I had zero. Then I saw one person saying she would not be able to attend, but would be happy to sponsor anyone to climb on her behalf. I quickly volunteered and she pledged rm50.00 .That was a good start

I had no idea who I was going to approach. 

Just a couple of days ago I decided to put on my status saying I will be climbing for a good cause , sadly only one friend from Johor responded and banked in Rm100.00 . I had this problem, when it comes to asking people for donations.  Well since this is for a good cause I have to be a bit thicked skin and so I sent a message to a good friend of mine and he promptly bank in Rm100.00 as well. Then yesterday another friend donated another rm100.00   .   I will chipped in another rm50.00 to make it Rm400.00   It is not much , but at least I did try and I am happy I was able to help out in a small way.

The event was also appear in yesterday's star paper  here

HOW SAFE ARE WE?

Yesterday, I was having a chat with my boss, and in the middle of our  discussion, he received a phone call from his home. His house had been robbed. It was really a day light robbery. So he had to rushed back home. This morning he update me on the situation. Apparently those robbers must have been  surveilance on is house for a long time as they seems to know even what time he return home. There were two men of Indian origin dressed up like ninjas, carrying samurai swords. Only his wife, daughter and mother were at home at that time. They got away with some cash and golds. I just don't understand why people still keep large amount of money and even jewelry at home . Thank God no one was harm.

However there was another incident I heard from the other Boss. The victim had her head decapitated. It could be the victim could recognised the robber or even know him.  We are living in a terrible and unsafe world these days. No one is safe anymore. We have to be extra careful and be prayerfully each day.I only prayed something can be down about our police force. Unless they buck up, crime will continue to rise and robbers would be more daring. Those travelling during the festive seasons, do take extra precaution. Have a good neighbour keep an eye while you are away.
