HERITAGE & LEGACY Con’t………….

Sorry for the delay in updating the above subject…eemmh where was I…ohh yeah..I do remember myself & my kampung’s friend looking for kepah/kupang (sort like a fresh water oyster) at that nearby pond/canal. We did thinking to make some business out of it, but when grandpa knew about it, he rushed to the scene and pulled my ear off hehehe.
When thought about it, it’s damn dangerous& crazy tho – diving at that pond without any safety equipment (its damn deep) fuhh!!!...emmh I’m somewhat 8 or 9 years old….. heheheh.

Me & friend did have another project, emmh.. we trying to give some extra income to my Grandpa/Ma, so we came out with a plan of sugarcane business. Sugarcane trees is everywhere in that kampong, so me & friend did chopped several and bring it to this rubber station nearby the house (During that time, rubber tappers will have to process/produce the palette of rubber before they can sell it to the rubber shop – This process must include the mixing of chemical and let the rubber froze, and they need to run the process of stamping/or pressing via rubber machine. These machines made from mild steel, have two roller upside & downside. Froze rubber will go thru the middle and being press until the rubber come-out like a white towel). So with that machine, I & friend can produce lots of sugarcane juices, yeah can make lot of money out of it. Hehehehe!!.
Well things not moving as its suppose to be I guess, we being ambush and bombarded by his mother who is the owner of that machine, and yuppp... sprint 100 meter, Olympic gold medal will be ours at that point of time.

Latest news I heard on that land (kampong house) – Uncles/Aunties are going to sell it off. Emmh…although it’s nothing to do with me, but selling? Huhh.. I don’t know whattahack with everybody out there man!!!

To sell off the so-called legacy of your forefather, with his own hand building that shelter called home and develop with full of care, love and attention, pass over to the next generation to think & appreciate it and also to remind them there is a place called kampong, yet we don’t even try to protect that heritage, and willingness to giveaway your own legacy to other people for the sake of what?? ..money..? Where are the fighters/or Heroes?...Aren’t they feel guilty? It’s like selling off your country to other people.?

This heritage should be passing on to the next generation, and also to other generation to come. Appoint a care taker to take care of the place/or rotate the caretaker job every year since the family member is big, I think this should be the way so the heritage will move on & on. Proper foundation need to be set-up to cover the maintenance cost and salary of the care taker. Meeting should be done to appoint the chairman, treasury and secretary like a normal foundation. Although it’s not registered, but proper audit should be done by an appointed auditor…emmh that should be the way. Jewish community has been practicing this for thousand of years, same goes to certain noble group in Europe, even till to date you can see their old castles maintain in a damn good shape…age centuries. With that strength and proper system, their family wealth and economy being maintain in concrete way. No outside influence can damage the system unless the insider themselves being so greedy and starts paying politics. Thats what happen in our country now….

When think about it, yeahh…right….!!!!!!!........Who want to listen to me???..That bad boy in the family…the worst grandchild on this planet…even denise the menace is more nicer than me…heheheh…..I’m not naughty…just notorious..hehehhe.,

As these remind me to my dad house, my mission is to renovate dad’s house for the next generation to come and let the legacy maintain and being protected.


Conclusion:…………..JUST DO IT.

heritage is good if you can pass it on. Look at English castle. China Wall. The other side of it, also showed to the world how wicked and greedy we are and we will do nothing to stop our desire to conquer the world at all costs.
So every story has its pros and cons.

Heritage should be started with you and buried when you died. Let the other continue their own heritage and legacy. For all we know there are good in bad and bad in good. Let the other people decide.We just do it because we wanna do it.

"Above all do no harm - the prophet"
See the resemblance?
how can you do no harm? Drinking water can also harm if you if you take excessively. With that, might as well you do all bad things and kill them all and let god decide. Cause whatever you decide will always have pros and cons. God won't.
