The season of celebrating temple activities is begining....
I was invited to several temples' activities in this week including tonight, as usual giving speeches. Now come back with a tired body....
********
In the market or coffee shop, people talk about inflation and economy down turn; when we went in the temple we saw people 'burning money'!
*********
On one hand people complaining of no money but on the other hand, they can buy the incense, candles and paper (money for the god) to burn.
Let say if we could change the pattern of celebrating temple's event. For example only give one incense per person and do not burn papers, it will save a lot of money and also save the world. Why? because ashes produce by these materials have polluted our environment.
Temple is a place for worship. People worship for peace, security (soul) and ..... I think it is time for the committee from each temple to review their role. Temple can perform as an education and social welfare centre. A real temple should provide religion education by enlightening the people. People are more generous when they are in the temple (perhaps in front of god?) and we can use the money donated by the people to help the poor or needy in the society.
If the committee in each respective worship place could extend their role, I think the present of temples will be meaningful for them and the society.
(very tired and not felling well today, my points are a bit messy)
After 3 months struggling to fix the Ahli Majlis post and it is now almost come to a stage where the appointed ahli's are going to take their oath tomorrow.
During these few months, Pakatan Rakyat government was negotiating the allocation of the seats and it takes a long time to get to the final. At the same time, each ADUN, party leaders and organisations also lodged their nominees.
Now the list of Ahli Majlis is there and many people though that those nominated from DAP are all my nominees. However, to tell the truth only one who is from my list is appointed. Though before the nomination, we have so many rules or methods to select from the wide range of candidates list, it seems like most of the agreeable 'terms and conditions' were not executed.
...........................
A few days before, I was shocked to know that 3 of the Ahli Majlis had been convicted into a criminal case. Today, one of them was confirmed and the rest of the 2 had proven to have a clean record.
..........................
Since we won the Selangor state seat, there are many people suddenly rush to join Pakatan Rakyat. I am not saying that they all are no good but some of them really bringing in their hidden agenda. Therefore, as a leader for the party, it is very important to screen through his/her member in order to avoid any possible scandal.
Ahli Majlis of DAP:
Susan Chan (Enterpreneur)
Keppy Wong (Lawyer)
Tnew Kon Huang (Jeniffer) (Enterpreneur)
Azahari Bin Ismail (retired)
