Just Wanted To Share

We lived in a beautiful country. We lived in a country that is in peace. As far as I know we have our freedom of speech, but to an extend where we don't make a statement about racism and religion that may provoke a chaos and a riot among all the races that so far living happily in one Malaysia.

          I have to be careful what I am about to say about myself, but this is not in any way provoking and poking about socialism and religion. It is about economical. It is also not about political but it is just me and my own financial sorry state.

          I am a bankrupt. And it is not my fault. I was helping a friend. I still remembered the very words he said to me when he asked me to help him; "Seven years is not long.

          I think I’m nagging again, because this is not what I want to share about. As far as I know, I owed (or rather ‘he’ owed) around 50k. I have a solution to settle these debts and cleared my name. For the past weeks I thought about it a lot. I want to be able to travel again. I want to go and perform my hajj. With a bankruptcy title I cannot do this.  I am 38 years old. I will die sooner or later, and I want to clear my debts even though it’s not my own.

          It is a drastic planned. I may sell my house. With that money I can pay and clear my name (and his… (How life is not fair for you?))……………………………….
