"NINE-year-old Matt (not his real name) insists he 'hates food, really'. He licks his lips at the mention of his favourite dishes like satay, hamburger and nasi lemak, but he tries to be brave about going hungry. "
"Most of the time, he skips dinner, drinks tap water and goes to bed early to keep his hunger pangs at bay. But sometimes it is too much to bear. "
This saturday's special report is heart-wrenching. Even in the more developed countries, there exist little pockets of the really poor community. The poor kids oft grow up to become poor adults, and the vicious cycle continues. Yes, there are exceptions, but statistics show how harsh realities still prevail. In any society. Despite all the aids that are available. In spite of all the focus placed on the low-income families in some areas.
Is there ever a chance that this cycle can be broken?
Will the world ever become mere vacuum? Will time ever stop?
The same answer would apply to all these questions.
