The Malaysia school holiday is also back. Where all Malaysia government school is having aschool break from 21 Nov 4 Jan 2010. Yes! it means students can finally relax after all the major exam. And to those travelling to work, it means good news too as the traffic will ease tremendously after the school holiday starts. Yipee!!

And those who has work smart & hard throughout the year. You may get your bonus around this time of the year. Congrats!! Select a good deal during the SALES time and pamper yourself, you deserve it. Re-charge and prepare for a brand new year!

And for those who didn't get the bonus. Don't beat yourself up or start the endless complaints and whines. Think what's lacking in you that you didn't get it. Plan your plan and work it out. If you are all stress up and needing a "shoping teraphy". Choose wisely with the abundant deals around this Y.E.S time. Soak yourself in the good deal, but remember not to over spent. If not you might have even bigger stress when you received your bill by the end of the day. Reboast yourself and plan to work toward your best and achieve your target in the coming year.

Enjoy!!

I've been very busy these few weeks. Always didn't find the time for posting new blogs. Sorry to all my followers, I've add in new blog once I'm free from the busy schedule.

Eye Sore – Bogus Monk

Lately, I been driving in the city centre of Kuala Lumpur and I frequently spotted men in monk robe begging for money. I knew these men are bogus monk (even if they are real monks, they have broke the Buddhist code of ethics).

Let me tell you the modus operandi of these fake monks. They shaved they head bald, wearing monk robe, with or without an alms bowl walking on the street. Usually, they will ignore the normal Malaysian as many knew that they are fake. They target foreigners, especially tourists. The bogus monk will walk towards their target(s) and beg for money. Sometimes, the target(s) generously and willingly “donates” money to them. Sometimes, the target(s) simply not willing to donate and the fake monk will persuade or even follow the target(s) until the target give the donation.

I read some articles reporting on the issues of bogus monks in Malaysia. A report also stated that that a true monk is to reject any offering in terms of monetary. Even if a monk offer blessing string in return of a monetary offer is inappropriate. When a monk collects alms it should be in terms of food. Those who offer food should give pure vegetarian food.

Maybe Malaysians and those who are visiting Malaysia are too generous in giving blindly. Some greedy people abuse the ignorant & generosity of these people to satisfy their own greed.

I want to urge all generous people to be careful and not to give out money blindly. Make sure the donations are fall into the use of people in need. Of course, stop giving to these bogus monks!
