We are well into December, the season of sacrifice and goodwill.....
While many of us are thinking of what presents to buy for Christmas, the families of many of the ISA detainees are thinking of where the money will come from for their children's school books.
While we are thinking of where to have our Christmas Dinner, the same families are thinking of where the money will come from, to but food on their tables.
And these are families that have been made "single parent families" by the stroke of the pen of the Minister; not by the court of law. And all basic human principles and religion tell us that one is innocent until proven guilty!
All religion also teaches us about justice and standing up for the oppressed. Yes, many of us are standing up for justice; by being present and supporting the No to ISA candle light vigil,for example. Many of us come together as One United Voice; the Suara Anak Bangsa Malaysia. And YES! we can change things - but not immediately.
Meanwhile, the reality is that these families need to continue to live; they need real help. Please read the following blog: http://lailagmi.blogspot.com
Please try to help out in any way you can...
These families are also Anak Bangsa Malaysia; they too are our family, our brothers and sisters. Please do what you can especially for the innocent children, more so, during this, the season of goodwill.
I wish you all: Compliments of the Season!
