Answer 1

^

there are some really poor ones...

there are some dont know really poor or not..

there's once i rode delima bus back to malacca from spore..passing johor.

i saw a cluster of 20-30 wooden houses, most of them were in pretty bad condition..

then i saw little kids playing sand just beside their houses..

ohh poor thing,maybe they're not fortunate enough to buy some toys...or so i thought..

but wait..

then i noticed that every wooden house..including the bad condition ones have ASTRO.

That's why we need to pay Zakat & Fitrah ... a small amount of money to help the needy through Baitulmal ...

*orang miskin tak boleh dimanja .. just bantu sedikit .. if not they will be very lazy ...

Answer 3

ha..ha..ha..  simi.. first  do you know the definition of poor ?  you think that poor means living in a hut type houses, surrounded by stray dogs, and some torn cloths hanging, and some pots in a corner with a country firewood ...ok.ok.. and you are comparing this hand handphones, clothing and a middle class tax payers.. you know that the so called as i described poor are having better handsets, televisions, clothings etc.,and only they not a tax payers.. surprisingly you don't know they are having well house and rented..not all but by many..

people living in middle class are the worst sufferers and to say they may proud that they are middle class but the rich and affluent too sufferers and their sufferings are in separate category which could not be eloborated,

but, simi the poor people are not really poor, since they have all help from the govt and masters and availing full facility of life and they educate their children and running a successful life than the middle class and rich..and in fact, the name middle is a real middle.. no poor  and  no  rich..suffering in the middle  and therrefore,  as you say the poor you say is not a poor.

if anyone affording such a life style and living like a royal then how could you say them poor people.

poor or rich its all depend upon the coming income ratio and outgoing expenditure ratio for anyone. and its art to balance in between them. and if anyone succeeded in this matter , then he cannot called poor. if the middle class tax payer could not balance in ratio between their income, saving , expenditure then you can say the middle class poor people beside them who say you poor people.

Answer 10

why do the middle class always complain about not having enough money?

in australia middle class people with cars and houses and nice clothes and plasma televisions and superannuation complain about welfare to indigenous australians. but many indigenous australians suffer high rates of infant mortality, have a lower life expectancy, have less education and poorer health.

if you think that the poor are not poor maybe you should try living with them and living like them for a while

Answer 11

yes.. they are indeed getting poorer and the rich getting richer and mid class is getting no way..

Answer 12

ler.... its up to them ler. having better handphones doesnt mean living a better life. nowadays, handphones, even cars are necessities...we dont call them rich for having that stuff. i go to 'feed the homeless' program most of my weekends, we even chuckled among us volunteers if we saw a couple homeless apeks wearing shiny gold rolex with a shiny gold N70.....its all imitationla guys, and the phone, ever seen a china made one? exactly reallll lioww!.. dont believe everything u see...

its the 'not-so-poor' ppl taking advantages over them (the poor ppl) that been pissin me off...

Answer 13

I have few friends who came from very2 poor family.

Imagine living with RM400 salary per month to feed 4 young children and a wife.

Monthly basis, the husband need to pay RM 150 for renting and

RM50 for motorbike loan.

Leaving RM200, that will go for electricity and water bill,

baby diapers and milk, kindergarden fee and food for family.

Two of their children suffering thalasemia but only one of them receiving treatment due to financial problem.

Sometimes, handphones and clothes they use were given by people who concern and try to help them in a way they can.

I do buy nice clothes for their children when comes Hari Raya.

I have extra to spend, why can't I share it with the one who need and be happy doing it?

Answer 14

Some of them yes..
