It was an emotional weekend. There's laughters of hopes in almost all major cities in the world. There's also tears of sadness too. In London, Edinburgh, Paris, Tokyo, Moscow, Berlin, Toronto and Philadephia, millions of people gather for Live 8, a concert with one reason: Urging the G8 leaders to tackle the problem of poverty with the slogan 'Make Poverty History'.
In Kuala Lumpur, people gather for the launch of Citrawarna, to mobilise our tourism campaign while in Putrajaya, tears and laughter also shared the same ground with the slogan 'Menuju Puncak'.
Now, those of you who watched Live 8 in whatever medium, would agree that it is not just another concert. It is also not just another awareness campaign and it is not just another rally against governing leaders. It's not about all that. I see it as the ultimate benchmark of the humanity and morality level in each and every one of us. Bob Geldof and friends do it in the way they know best. Organising an aid concert with more substance than just mere statement.
I know, it's not our problem. I know, that does not mean they didn't care (they would after care right after knowing who'll be eliminated next).I know, our artiste are not involved in Live 8 at all. But, is that all that matters?
Think about this: when tsunami hit our region, everybody comes to help. Can we do the same for others?
If we have the chance to chance history, what would we do? How would we do it?
..and interdependence shall we'll be.
NO, I'm not saying we can't enjoy life and have fun. But, do your bit on this. Who knows, it will enlighten not just the lives of the people in Africa but yours too.
WHAT SAY YOU?
END
p.s I wonder if we could get Faria Alam to share her 'hard-earned' income..(naah...)
