So, erm cukup ke apa yang goverment bagi?

In a way, bagus gak, kalau ramai2 keje cleaner kat uk ni akan timbul perasaan humbleness didalam diri..

teringat lagi masa balik mesia hari tu lepas buat undergrad kat Cardiff, UK.. masa kat cardiff pernah keje cleaner utk tolong2 mak dan cari duit extra... bila balik UIA, tengok makcik2 indonesia menyapu, terasa aku dulu pernah cam tu gak.. and develop a bond with the cleaners there...

Jadi ada la pro and kontra nye... Allah dah bagi rezeki cukup untuk kita semua, inshaAllah..

Allah azza wa jalla berfirman (2: 212):
“And Allah provides ‘Rizq’ to whom he wishes without any account.”

yeap... yg duk jalan2 tu, normally depa kerja cleaner gak (walaupun undergrad) tapi kalau pandai betul berjimat, leh je guna duit scholarship...

Yg postgrad nye normally cukup2 makan, so kalau nak jalan2 ke.. nak gi haji ke... kene la kerja2...
