last nite when i went for supper with my bro, sis and cousin, there is this uncle who sell tissues lah. i see him so able body...but yeah..i still buy lah. then my bro nags...why i buy...he so abled body loh...then i was actually thinking..."better he cheats me that u noe..i cheat ppl" coz i wunt get any karma or watever mah. anyway...thats not wat i wan to tok about here. i suddenly remember the one episode of "get real"
there is this old man (i really mean OLD) with limp and his fingers are no longer there one. he is selling tissues at simei mrt there. apprently..his fingers are lost due to sum accident at work or sum crap. he is like damn thin...fragile lah. and he actually has to carry this big plactic bag full of tissues. i was like...it is hard on him...and it is quite sad that..some people are actually just walk past him...but thats not the worst. i was so utterly disgusted by his wife.
she was just standing at the staircase towards the mrt. wear nicely...her husband was like..wearing torn singlet and short pants loh...she is like...abled body and stuff. the reporter ask her.
R: "why do you not get a job instead of him selling tissue?"
S: i cant work lah. my body very weak lah...i stand awhile only..my back aches already. anyway...i marry him so he must support me" (damn lah. her legs are not limping lah. she is jolly well...fatter than him. and hell..she is wearing a gold watch and necklace!)
R: so how come u cant help him sell the tissues leh
S: dun wan lah. people will buy from him more since he is so handicapped.
i was like utterly disgusted by the wife. the least she can do is to help him carry the plastic bag rite...the old man is really like poor ting loh...thin as a bone...limp...and his fingers are not there already! its really very hard to take the tissues out lah. maybe u guys tink that he is pretending..thats y some people just walk past him.
think about this...its just one dollar. one dollar. would u rather get cheated of one dollar and at least clear of ur conscience then rather than just to save that one dollar...you ignore a totally frail man. it really shows how much compassion this world is. and the wife is detestable. even the reporter seems disturbed by her. she is like treating him like a trash. how sad.
