HARI GELANDANGAN SEDUNIA

Hari ini merupakan Hari Gelandangan Sedunia. Komuniti gelandangan sentiasa dekat dihati saya memandangkan saya telah bekerja dengan komuniti ini selama hampir 4 tahun. Saya telah berjumpa dengan banyak orang dari pelbagai latar belakang dan mendengar berbagai kisah hidup mereka. Pengalaman ini banyak mengajar saya erti hidup dan mengubah perskpektif saya secara peribadi.

Saya pernah mendengar kisah penderaan fizikal, lisan dan emosi, terutamanya daripada kaum wanita. Komuniti gelandangan datang dari pelbagai latar belakang, jantina, kaum, agama, orientasi seksual dan setiap daripada mereka mempunyai cerita mereka yang tersendiri. Cerita yang acap kali saya dengar adalah bagaimana mereka mempunyai keadaan keluarga yang sukar sewaktu membesar dan situasi ini menyumbang kepada pelbagai masalah dalam kehidupan mereka.

Dalam situasi pandemik Covid-19, komuniti gelandangan telah banyak terkesan. Beribu gelandangan telah ditempatkan di tempat perlindungan sementara sewaktu sewaktu pandemik ini. Sekarang, banyak gelandangan telah kembali ke jalanan dan berada dalam situasi yang sukar.

Rakyat Malaysia telah datang bersatu padu melakukan yang terbaik untuk membantu komuniti ini. Antara kisah yang menarik adalah bagaimana syarikat Uniqlo Malaysia telah membantu golongan gelandangan untuk mengubah hidup mereka. Tujuan bantuan ini adalah untuk membantu mereka mengubah hidup dengan mempunyai pakaian baru sewaktu mencari pekerjaan. Pihak kerajaan negeri Johor pula telah membantu dengan membantu 1000 gelandangan mencari peluang pekerjaan.

Gambar dibawah adalah daripada Chow Kit Kids Project beberapa tahun lalu. Saya berharap semuanya kembali normal dan saya dapat kembali untuk berkhidmat untuk komuniti ini.

WORLD HOMELESS DAY

Today is World Homeless Day! Homeless community has always been very close to my heart since I've started working with this community since almost 4 years ago. Along the years, I have met with a lot of people; each with different stories to tell. Engaging with this community has truly taught me to look at life and its meaning from another set of lenses and perspective.

I've heard stories of terrible physical, verbal, and emotional abuse; especially from women. Homeless community consists of people from different walks of life regardless of one's gender, race, sexual orientation as well as religion. Most of them however, have had very difficult family situations when they were growing up. This issue subsequently has contributed to problems throughout their lives until they unfortunately ended up in the homeless community.

Needless to say, during this pandemic, homeless community in Malaysia is part of the communities which has been affected the most. Fortunately, steps were taken and they were housed in temporary shelters during Malaysia's COVID-19 lockdown. Now though, many of them have returned to the streets and are now living from hand-to-mouth. We as Malaysians have come together to help this community before and I believe this effort would continue onwards.

One of fascinating stories I've read is how Uniqlo Malaysia gave free clothes to the community. The aim of the clothing program was to encourage those suffering on the streets to turn over a new leaf. Having fresh new clothes will help them to look more presentable when they go out to search for new job opportunities. Another amazing effort is an initiative by Johor state government to help 1,000 homeless people in securing jobs.

The pictures below are snippets from the time when I was working on Chow Kit Kid Projects! I hope everything is going back to normal and I would be able to go back to serve this community.

A so called "Left-over" woman tried very very hard to seduce me and perhaps I can help you understand this bizarre phenomenon in China where although there is a massive gender imbalance, successful and attractive women are not wanted...

【同一個答案】HUSH cover by Vivien Loh 盧苑儀
如果你問我，「愛」是什麼？我會說，愛是你，也是我，不分性別，是每個人天生擁有的權利。
前陣子同志大遊行，朋友分享了HUSH現場演唱的這首歌的影片給我，當下看到大家一起大合唱讓我很感動，本來就很喜歡這首歌，剛好今年台灣同性婚姻也通過了，所以這次想用一個歡樂的方式詮釋這首歌，希望大家會喜歡💛

Love is love, and it shouldn’t be any gender to it because everyone is born with the ability and right to love. May 24th 2019 , Taiwan Same-sex marriage was legalized and this has put the perspective of love to a whole new level ! I’m just glad to see my friends and people around me loving boldly and fiercely without having to apologize or being afraid ~ Anyhow , this calls for a celebration! So this awesome song by HUSH , is for you and you and you ~ Hope you like it~

歌詞：
生命裡潛藏著無數可能
你一直是這樣相信著
在那裡會有真正的快樂
讓所有散落的心都結合
那多精采

就讓他們去猜
就讓我們愉快
有誰還能無視愛的存在
就伸出你的手來
擁抱你的愛
