I was awestruck after watching this video. The video was so touching that it prompted me do some reflection on the socio-economic context of our society

First and foremost, the video reflect the general poverty state of Indian. We could not deny that there are still a large proportion of the Indian community who live are relatively poor and left behind in the pace ot modernisation. Many of them still live in rubber estate with high rate of illiteracy and dropping out of school since young. The government affirmative action may have help the Malay to uplift their standard of living, but much to the detrimental of the Indian community whose welfare are neglected . Thus , the government should implement some measure to rectify the problem. It is noteworthy that the government had already acknowledge the problem and gave their promises.

Besides, We should look into the illegal land issues which plaque the indian community as hightlighted in the Kampung Buah Pala Saga. The poor indians have no choice but to build their house in the illegal land as they are not eligible for the financial supports of the government which are only allocated to the native.Please acknowledge the problem and seek remedy. Home is their last bastion from the rain and sun. We as malaysian could not be so cruel and indifference to the plight of our indian friends in the spirit of 1 malaysia.

On the other hand, it is hard-wrenching to note that our society has became so materialistic and individualistic. Poor people are shunned and despised by society. Even teacher looks down on poor student, kills their confident and dampens their self-esteem since young . No wonder the students taught by him are so materialistic and egoistic to the extent of lossing their humanity and compassion.

In conclusion, we should envisage a nation with equal distribution of wealth and in the meantime sensitive to the plight of certain section of the socities to ensure that no one left behind as our country strive to achieve vision 2020.
