Another 2 days more will be our Logos Presbyterian Youth Fellowship Mission Trip to Segamat until 20th of Oct. I as a leader of the team have to carry up the big responsibility to guide the team. I really hope to see that all of us will learn to grow during this MT. Most of them are really new for the MT but I am so glad that they willing to let themselves grow and use by the Lord.
Walking in the path together with the Lord is not an easy way as well. Sometimes we have to face a lot of trial along the road in order to grow. Recently I faced a lot of trials. Last Tuesday, I was being summoned for the reason of cutting the queue. Still not yet pay the summon. After that on Friday, I was met with a car accident which my car was badly damage at the back. I was summoned again for the fault.
This week on Tuesday, I was being cheated by some strangers who claimed themselves from high court and also inspector from Bukit Aman. I was asked to attend the court for taking the "black money" and they said I have to go through an investigation. They are really good in lying which I was already being cheated by them. He asked from me my name, IC, house address, and also my bank name. At that time I was so busy with searching for customer place which I didn't aware of all this lying. After asking from my friends who is a lawyer, then only I found that I have been cheated by those people.
Then on today, Wednesday afternoon during the time on my way back to office, again I met with car accident. There was a very jam along the highway and all the vehicles were moving at about 0 km/h. Unfortunately, there was a car, drove by a Chinese lady hit my car. Even though it was a minor accident but it caused my sister car bumper damage as well. We solved the problem straight away after she paid me the money for repairing. I really don't know what to say at that time. Just feeling very sad after all the incident happened onto me.
Anyway, I still want to give thanks to the Lord for keeping me safe from all the danger. I am glad that there is a bunch of brothers and sisters who really care for me. I want to thank for their prayers and supports as well. From the bible book Psalm 119:71 remind me that "It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees". I will always hold my faith towards Him who keep on sustain me in every trials that I have to face.
Lamb of God! You now are seated High upon Your Father’s throne, all Your gracious work completed, all Your mighty victory known. Satan may win some battles, but he cannot win the war.

What is good and what is bad!!??
After I came out to a working life, I'm getting to know more that the society is full of dark issue. Many things that we hate to see in the newspaper everyday will pop up with the news about murder, robbery, kidnapping, rapping, etc. We are getting more and more insecure with our society where we are living now in Malaysia. All of these dark issues are mainly on normal citizen. Then, how about on our government dark issue? It will never pop up in the newspaper because government will always try to cover it from our knowledge. However we will still know about it especially in bribery issue.
In Malaysia, the bribery issue is becoming a normal issue among the Malaysian either they are under private or government sector. In Malaysia, if you don't give bribe, either you will face difficulty with getting a job done or you will never get it done. Some people saying that giving bribe is just like a magic. Giving bribe mostly fall on the private sector while receiving bribe mostly fall on the government sector. That is already becoming their daily routine of life. Even though our government keeps on stressing that we should stop bribery but it will never get it stop. That is because they themselves are one of them. The more they keep on saying that we should stop bribery, the more bribery that will occur. Therefore, some people say that only rich people can survive and earn more money because they can give bribe while the poor can't.
In our country, there are 2 kinds of robbers. One is against the law while the other one is by the law. If you are being robbed by a criminal robber, we have police officer will get to help us to seize them. (But we will always get disappointment) Why the robbers are wanted by the police officer? That is because they are against the law. Meanwhile, we have another type of robber, and that is using the law to rob us. We know who they are. They used to always wear the batch which written "Saya ANTI Rasuah". (I think they are force to wear it) They like to use the power which the law giving to them to rob the money from citizen. Some will force you to give your money to them and some will use some tatics to pay money to them which seemed to be under law. They will always showing that you have no right to argue with them because they are the law while we are not. Only they can say what is right and what is wrong. If we don't want to pay little money to them, they will make us pay expensively and giving us troublesome in order to pay the large sum of money. Sometimes even though we pay the large sum of money, they will make it becoming their own instead of government. That is the robber under law. Who can protect us against them? Making a report police against them? Sure we will getting more trouble and will lose. They will make our life even suffer in the future if we are against them.
In Malaysia, we have plenty of beggars. There are also 2 kinds of beggars. We can often see them in the "Pasar Malam", KL city, bus station, everywhere also have them. We normally see them with torn shirt or half naked, dirty with sad look begging us for the money. However, we also have beggars who are wearing uniform begging us for money as well. They normally will show us a nice smiling face and nicely told us that we have done wrong. Then they will offer their help to us by asking some money from us after giving us trouble. Some of them never success in getting the money from us because we know that they purposely find some fault on us which we are not doing. I have faced it before. I am wondering why the government always has never enough feeding them which force them to beg money from the people. Are they too free? Then how about the criminals who are still out there?
There is another kind of person who is responsible and good police officer which is almost 0% in our country. Some people said that, 10 out of 10 police officer are corrupted. That means all are corrupted. How will our country get to develop with this kind of corrupted law? We seemed getting more and more develop but there are many who are getting more and more suffer because of this corrupted law but government only just keep silent. No wonder the criminal rate is getting increasing year after year. All of these are also because of the corrupted law.
Malaysian, do you think that it is right to give bribe? Will you not making those receivers getting worse and worse? All of those used to give bribe are normally a very selfish person because they only care on their own. The unity is not there when everyone is selfish. Therefore, nobody will get any benefit as those receivers will be getting more and becoming more selfish as well. Maybe one day the whole world will make the bribery as one of the enforcement law. Can you imagine how the world will become? Terrible!!
To live in this world is not an easy thing. We need to be alert all the times. This world is full of evil temptation and desire. Only the Lord can be trusted and always put your trust in Him as He is the only righteous in all His way. If we are not alert at all times, slowly one day we will become hardly to differentiate between what is good and what is bad since the law in this world itself is dead.

Car Accident
Today after met up with a brother for getting the Mission Trip material, I met up with a car accident at 2.30pm while on the way back to my office. I was badly hit at the back of my car while the car that hit me was badly damage too. The incident was like this. The road that usually can let the car to come out from a junction to the opposite road is now become one way and I have to drive to the opposite direction to make a U-turn back to my office. While on the way to make my U-turn, I saw there was a car which was about few hundred metres away from me speeding up. Another thing was I saw that car was giving a signal light showing that he want to turn into the junction if I was not mistaken. Then, I just made the U-turn and right after the U-turn, after 1 second, I felt a big shock and started to slow down and stop at the side of the road. When I saw my back car, the bumper was dropped off and the oil tank was dented. One of the signal light was broken too. The back of the car also bended in which my car boot also can't get to open. Meanwhile the other car was broken down and the water was leaking out. I think it cost more to repair on that car. It was a Nissan Sentra while mine is just only Wira. He was an Indian and started to blame on my fault. I know I was wrong but the accident can't be said to be only wrong at one side. He was speeding at about 80kph while the road speed limit is only 50kph. If not, both of our car won't be that seriously damage. Very soon one of the car repairing people came over and asked whether I want to have a car tow and repair. Anyway, I already have my own insurance agent who has their own workshop. I was wondering how they come so fast and know the accident happened.
My 2 colleagues were coming over to support me. Thanks to them as well. If not, I will be alone and seem so helpless. After a long hour of waiting and calling for help, we finally went to make police report in a police station. His car was on tow while mine still manage to move.
After making all the police report, finally the police ended up with a conclusion that I was wrong and have to pay for the compound. Even though the police officer didn't said that I was wrong to make a U-turn because there is no signboard that cannot be U-turn, he kept on saying that I was hitted within 20m which by law, I was wrong. I said that the Indian guy was speeding but the officer said that anyone can said so and I don't have any prove to prove that. All they need is black and white. I was thinking that they also don't know how far that my car was already away from the 20m. At that time, I was so blur and don't know anything but just to accept the penalty. I admit that I'm wrong too.
After that, the officer just wrote the summon for me. He told me that I can pay before December. At that time my wallet only have less than RM50. Then he told me again that if I can pay to him by today, I need only to pay RM200 instead of RM300. Then I quickly went withdraw the money to pay to him. I thought that I was given a discount. After paid the money to him, he stappled the money with the summon letter that he gave to me earlier. When I asked receipt from him, he told me that I can only get the receipt after few days and by printing out through internet. I don't know why I forgot to ask him from which website. After being told by many people, I was only knew that the money was actually taken by him because he suppose to give me the receipt after I paid to him.
I don't know what's the wrong with me this whole week. Seems like many things gone wrong to me. I still have another summon that need to pay which I got it in this week for cutting queue. The police officer asked me "Kamu mahu bayar murah atau bayar mahal?" which means that whether do you want to pay cheap or expensive? I was shock of what he told me because I also saw the batch that he wore on his right shoulder saying that "Kami anti rasuah" which means "We are anti bribery". I just asked him to give me summon letter and he seemed not to be happy with me. He again told me again that he will write the summon and have to pay RM300 for that. Finally I got the summon. Even though I don't give bribe because I know it is wrong to do so but I still feel unhappy because I have to waste a lot of money.
Anyway, I still want to thank God that He still protecting me. Jesus, please continue to guide me in my daily life. May my days always glorify You, Lord.
