Looking around me I see the bigger pictures. And I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear.

Begging in Malaysia
Begging in Kuala Lumpur. This shouldn't happen in rich Malaysia.
See at the far corner, a lady sitting by the brownish round pillar, she is also begging. To make it worse she has a small child with her (not seen in this picture). They are probably foreigners, but still - how is this allowed?

Tourists
Lately we seems to attract a lot of tourists to Malaysia. Mostly from the East such as China, Japan, Korea and the Indo-Pakistan regions. At other time from the Middle East. But here we see a European couple (not sure but they are whites) or probably US or Aussie/NZ or from any Caucausian majority people country. Buying cameras I observed.
4D
He sells 4D results on the street of Kuantan, Malaysia. They come out a dusk, when the results are just out, they roam the street and some position themselves at strategic places where people can stop and buy these results and some walks the street shouting their wares. They are both males and females. I don't know how much they charge (probably RM 1.00 per piece of paper and hand written I suppose - I don't know as I have never bought them). 4D is a gambling in numbers and very popular in Kuantan where there are many gambling shop houses such as TOTO, 4D and Magnum. I don't really understand them. The funny thing is that Malaysia is supposed to be a Muslim country but gambling seems to be a hobby of the population, except in the States of Kelantan and Tregganu where 4D or similar is 'haram' (forbidden in Islamic sense). Why? Kelantan is ruled by a Muslim Party and Trengganu has just shed its Muslim Party rule.
