To serve and not to be served

Over the past few weeks, there has been a heavy coverage on the flooded areas of Kuantan, Kemaman and some other parts of Pahang and Terengganu. It has been reported that the nature disaster was the worst in 17 years. As much as I want to help - in terms of offering my physical contribution helping the flood victims, I have my responsibility here waiting for me. Hence, dengan sedikit kemampuan yang ada harapannya agar dapat membantu mangsa-mangsa banjir, InsyaAllah.

And until now, what we hear over the news were the fights between the political parties on who should we blame over the nature disaster and how much they have contributed helping out the victims (by showing off their faces on the news instead of REALLY helping out the victims) instead of finding ways to ensure that this won't happen again in future. It's not a first time that this unfortunate disaster happened in the east coast. It is well-known that year end is where the monsoon comes and hence it effects the east coast states. But there is no initiative done by the political parties to somehow solve this problem or to at least, prepare the victims with whatever that is needed before it happens. Because whether you like it or not, it will happens.

Despite the on-going argument between the political parties on who to blame and what nots, there's one soul who have been contributing her whole energy helping out the victims. I salute Tengku Puan Pahang with all her hard work helping out, cooking for the victims across the villages in Pahang. And believe it or not, her consistent contributions were not reported on the news. Ini adalah contoh sebenar membantu dengan ikhlas and I'm sure they were all on her own expenses. 

These are some of the photos taken from her instagram account. The sincerity is there, you can see it for yourself.






And yes, she practices what she preaches "to serve and not to be served". 

I admire her hard work. The one thing that she can contributes is by cooking for the victims which she is really good at. Her down-to-earth personality makes her loved by everyone not just by the Pahang people but also by others. She puts aside her status and as a human being, she helped her people in times where they need her to most. A good example that all leaders should follow. This is nothing close in gaining popularity. This is really who she is!

Tengku Puan Pahang, you are in deed a good role model.
