child labour is soooo not cool!

okay, here's the thing, i was at the mamak in front of my shop yesterday evening with my abang shafik, abg fendi, and abgangah banyak en bodyguard saya? :P then suddenly datanglah budak yang umurnya mungkin dalam linkungan 10-11 tahun ke meja makan saya. dia memakai t shirt berwarna merah, seluar hitam, bersongkok dan membawa sling bag hitam. dan die sgt skinny. pakai skinny jeans pon tak muat gamaknye.

ditangannya pula terdapat minyak sapu or bam. kesian saya tengok die, die berpeluh2, merah padam muka die because of the heat. semalam mmg panas kot. even i was sweating like a pig at the mamak. eeeeww efa! don't have to menton that one..

ok moving on, so he came to our table with 'abang....derma untuk sekolah tahfiz...bla..bla...bla...' i didn't concentrate on what he was saying because i kept thinking 'what was this kid doing here?, whom was he with?, who send him here? have he eaten or drink?, did he go to school?' all of this question kept running in my head untill abang fendi starts to speaks:

abang fendi : dari mana ni dik?
little boy : dari sekolah tahfiz kedah
abang fendi : jauhnye dik. siapa hantar sini?
little boy : ustad bang.
abang fendi : ni balik mcm mane? siapa ambik?
little boy : ustad ambik kejap lg

then, abang fendi bg die rm5 and said 'duit ni untuk adik taw. pergi beli air ke ape.'

haish, kesian budak tuh. i just don't agree with the idea of child labour. in fact, who does eyy? they shouldn't be doing all that. they deserve a normal life like all the other kids around. they have their own right. ustad die pon kalau ye pon nk mintak derma tak perlulah suruh budak2 tuh. suruh dieorg belajar diam2 dekat tahfiz tu sudaaaa.

entah mak bapak dorg tahu ke tidak anak2 dorg kene buat kerja macam tu. i'm sorry but i'm a bit sensitive bout this kinda stuff. it's heartbreaking. come on people, use your brain! a child doing your work? its irrational.

footnote : the children are our future, you want to destroy their future? u're destroying yours then. think about it :)
