Living in the Demonic age.

In yesterday's tabloids the immigration department stumbled upon a 15 year old child locked up and abandoned by his mother, he was found looking like the un-dead from zombie horror flick with ribs protruding and his stomach revealing his spinal column. A three year old recently was tortured to death by his mother and her new husband and his screams of horror was heard by the neighbors who took no action until too late. I am loath to take a glimpse of any of these news medias catering to to gruesome and shameful state we live in all over the country, however if it were not for these sensational seeking news the reality of what we are facing would not be exposed and we will go on living in denial. We believe we live in a democratic country when in actual fact we are living in a demonic era, it is an era worse than the state of being an animal. Even animals have a sense of compassion towards one another and an animal kills only to eat or fend for itself, but human beings especially in this day and age kill for pleasure, for money and for the sheer act of killing out of hatred.
As we evolve towards fulfilling out destinies as human beings many of us fall along the wayside not being able to cope with the rapid changes that those capable of generating such moves are imposing on the rest of humanity. The head of the snake is swallowing too much while the rest of its body dies from starvation. We are moving ahead making believe all is fair and alright, just like the guy who drives around in his Mercedes with the tinted windows and the cool air conditioning inside through the slums of a city or the village he had grown up from, removed from the reality of what it is out there and justifying to himself that he has earned it all and it is his birthright to enjoy his life without any care or concern for other less fortunate. Well it is as it is all over the planet and there is little that can be done for so long as we live in this age of ignorance and denials until such event as discovering that your child has been kidnapped and his parts and organs are bring sold in the flesh market, then we have a little wake up call. ( incidentally his too was in the news.).
In the state of Kelantan, recently a 15 year old student was gang raped by 20 to 30 young men who were mostly drug addicts according to the report and many more such cases are reported daily from all over the country along side with the discarding of foetus or still born infants so much so that theses incidents have become such common occurrences that they are no more thought provoking, society have become comfortably numb.
Ours is a reactive society, we react rather than pro-act, we look for a cure rathert than a preventive measure and worse of, we look for someone else or something else to blame for when it all falls to pieces. Whatever is our social welfare services been up to and are so poor that we could not look into these poverty related social ills? No! The Zakat collection alone can handle most of our 'Mlalays social ill related to poverty but it is being run like a business which is more keen on making profits than disbursing its coffers tot the real needy. The National Social Welfare Agency? never heard of it other than when the women who runs it are up in arms for political mileage to make sure they are the most there being loving and compassionate whenever the media is present. We especially the Malay Muslims are among the worse of hypocrites alive toady and we live as though Allah is on our side while we neglect our duties towards the Lord's helpless and destitute and boy are we the first to jump the band wagon in claiming our love and care whenever there an exposure of pain and suffering among our own or point out dirty fingers instantly whenever someone is caught pandering their bodies or self esteem in order that they can pay the rent or feed themselves.
With the money collected from the masses the religious department constructs for itself land marks buildings to house a ladaisical workforce sheltered within a comfortable offices.  For those who needed help it would a a torture in itself just to approach these demigods who requires that they fill up forms and wait for the due processes that is if they can read and write.

Zakat institution is an integral part of the
Islamic socio-economic system. In Malaysia
zakat collection is institutionalized although it
is a state matter. The respective state authority
involved in zakat administration carries out the
following responsibilities: promotion, collection
and distribution of zakat; organized assistance
to the poor and needy; including other asnaf
in accordance to guidelines prescribed by the
Syariah.

Nowadays the Zakat agency has been updated into the IT status with all the latest state of the art fixtures but has that done much in terms of eradicating or even keep the poverty status among the Malays any better/ , highly doubtful, making it worse most likely as most of the money spent on these administrative adjustments stems out of the Zakat collected. The high tech installations made only help to propagate more time wasting habits among the employees who spends a good amount of time on the Internet browsing. I am voicing what i learned from my fellow Malays who has tried to appeal for help in Penang and if i am wrong i stand corrected. However even in Penang there those whose life is mere existence living below the poverty line and having a tough time making it and these are the ignorant and the uneducated who happens to be born and lived in poverty from day one.
It is tragic that in this day and age we still find daily the incidents like the one that just went viral on Face Book about the five year old skin and bones discovered by the Immigration Department officers. had they not been raiding the premises for illegal aliens this discovery would not have occurred and the child would most probably end up dead and this incident is just the tip of the iceburg in the Malay Muslim communities or so i was told.. It is not my place to question how or where the money goes when it comes to the welfare of my society but as one of its members it is still responsibility to make my feeling be heard. We are living in not a democratic but a demonic era where suffering has reached its rampant stage and if left unchecked it will become one of our causes for a decadent society. if there is anything worthwhile for the Malays to learn from the fellow Malaysian the Chinese, it is in how to care for the downtrodden. We have the means but lack the genuine interest in making the impeccable delivery system. We are most of us living in denial and driving our heavily tinted vehicles so others will not know who we are within our luxuriuos lifestyle; indeed we are most of us self serving demons of our society..
