We didn't learn..do we?

I watched with great horror and sorrow..it is the landslide again in Ulu Klang. Lost of life, the love ones, personal belongings and many more. Those who did face these calamities could not deny the fact that it is just like the end of the world. Yes..that's the end. One need a very strong will power and determination to start all over again. It is during this challenging period that our social security net will be tested. One might asked.... what will be the role of Pusat Zakat and Yayasan Kebajikan Negara ? Till today..i still have doubt whether it is wise to invest the zakat collection into business ? Or could it be just a one stop distribution center whereby what is collected must be distributed without leaving a single cent ? What about those with debts ? What is the best mechanism for the Pusat Zakat to help them. Isn't it necessary to help those with debts in order to prevent them from becoming poor and dependence? Prevention better than cure ? It looks like a trivial matter but the impact is huge for the community.

Nothing can be done to stop Malaysians to build their house by the hill slopes and hill tops. It is the warm climate that make Malaysians go for the greens and hill tops. Well that's what money can buy...what ever it is..I would see it as the Greatness of Allah. We can have a good life today and face a calamity in split seconds. What ever comfort being bestowed to us in this world is very,very.... temporary and the best that will last forever...... is the life in the hereafter.
