When being Muslim is all you need...

Just last Sunday, the birds were chirping, the sun was shining(albeit a little too hot) and my cup of coffee was no longer piping hot and ready for drinking, and it was just working out to be a perfect Sunday when I picked up the newspapers and saw this headline:-

"GOVERNMENT ALLOCATES RM10m TO HELP MUSLIM VICTIMS OF AH LONG"
(ok, it was not a big screaming headline, but a small inconspicous one so as not to attract too much attention to the absurdity of it)

Ok, my first thought was of course WTF?
Then, WHY TF is it confined to only muslims?
ANd WTF do you mean by RM10 MILLION allocated by the GOVERNMENT?

I mean clearly, this is a WTF situation.

Firstly, isnt the Government suppose to help the rakyat regardless of race and religion? Did they not say that the Government is not biased, that they care for ALL MALAYSIANS and all that BS?
So, why allocate that huge chunk of money (which may I remind them, comes not only from the MUSLIMS, but all MALAYSIANS) to help the so called victims of Ah longs? And ONLY muslims.
What about other NON MUSLIM victims? The ones who were also "tricked" into borrowing money from Ah Longs? Are they disqualified from the Government's allocation because they are not Muslims and hence it is impossible that they were tricked (like all muslims who borrowed from ah longs are) but they stupidly got themselves into that shit, hence they should dig themselves out of it?

WHAT?
Why are the Non Muslims being discriminated against?
What could possibly be the reason for the money being allocated to help the Muslims who have borrowed from Ah Longs and are now in huge debts?

And does it not occur to the Government that the majority of those who DO borrow from these loansharks are Chinese? Yet there is no allocation to HELP them? But for the small percentage of Muslims who do they get RM10m to aid them??

Come on. They are ALL the same. They needed money. They didnt have money. The banks wont give them money and they went to the loansharks to get it.

Where is the TRICKED INTO BORROWING part comes in?
Its a choice which they took. Its a CONSCIOUS choice and there is no difference whether you are a Muslim or you are not. The choice process is the same.
We are NOT talking about, Hmm..conventional banking or Islamic banking? its HHmm..AH Long or erm, AH LONG?

Damn the Government.Seriously, DAMN the government.
