Sharing food with the poor
ou don't have to be a millionaire or a huge organization to start giving to the needy. All you need is a heart of an angel. Erina Law and husband Lawrence Cheah took the first step of bringing food to hungry children and their families last Saturday morning.
With a budget of RM 200.00, they managed to prepare food for 50 hungry individuals. They distributed the packed food at The Goddess Of Mercy Temple, in Penang where at least 40 elderly people was waiting for their arrival.
Erina said, "For some people, a meal for four may cost them RM200.00, but then again, when you can feed 50 people with the same amount, it really felt great."
Lawrence said it was about helping the poor and showing his children the need to be charitable to others.

Irresponsible dumping by rubbish collectors
Location: Diamond Vally Industrial Park, Penang
Rubbish collectors conveniently off load their haul of residential waste and wet waste into a rubbish collection site for industrial waste instead of transporting it to the main rubbish dump.
The rubbish collectors also took their time to segregate recycled items such as plastic bottles, cardboard, paper, metal parts which they drove away with and transfer waste they do not want into the industrial waste bins.
Sam Tan, a factory owner located nearby to the rubbish collection site said that this has been happening since 4 months ago, it may be due to the closure of Batu Maung dump site located in the island.
Tan said that at least 2 to 4 trucks off load their "unwanted" rubbish at the rubbish collection site near his factory daily and this has caused the area to be dirty and smelly.
The huge rubbish bins at the site are always full after their daily routine and has prevented factories nearby of using them.
CJ Jimmy Leow has written to MPPP via E-Pintas about this but has not receive any feedback as yet.
