Hati terusik tonton iklan ayam goreng di televisyen


KEBELAKANGAN ini kerap tersiar di televisyen iklan KFC Family Feast yang berlatarkan lagu Balik Kampung yang diubah suai seni katanya.

Setiap kali menonton, hati saya terasa ralat dengan salah satu adegan apabila seorang lelaki membawa sekotak KFC di dalam bas. Lelaki terbabit kelihatan teruja dan tidak sabar-sabar untuk makan bersama keluarganya.

Duduk bersebelahan lelaki itu adalah seorang budak sekolah yang kelihatan sangat terliur mungkin dengan bau KFC yang lazat sambil menunjukkan tangannya mungkin mengharapkan lelaki itu akan menghulurkan seketul buatnya.

Namun, keinginan budak itu tidak diendahkan.

Turun dari bas, budak itu masih tidak berputus asa cuba mengejar lelaki terbabit, namun beliau terus berlalu begitu saja. Kehampaan jelas terbayang di wajah budak terbabit.

Hati saya tersentuh. Apalah salahnya orang berkemampuan menggembirakan hati kanak-kanak
dengan sekali-sekala belanja KFC untuk mereka?

Makan bersama keluarga memang sangat menyeronokkan, tetapi jangan sampai membelakangkan nilai-nilai kemanusiaan.

Bye daddy


By NATALIE

I USED to be daddy’s girl till mum and dad decided to go their separate ways. I will never forget that fine afternoon when mum was at work and dad came home to pack his belongings with grandma nagging by his side. I was only six then, sitting there in a corner, playing with my dolls, not really sure what was going on. Daddy didn’t say a single word as he was packing but he did steal a peek or two at me, I noticed. I ran to the balcony as he left for his car but before he opened the car door, he turned and gave me that “I am going to miss you, girl” kind of look. I didn’t cry, not did I say anything, but I can never forget that moment till today and forever because deep down inside, I miss you too, daddy.

I recently came across a blog about writing stories in just six sentences. This story was written by NATALIE. Thank you.


Cheaper Reader's Digest





Reading has always been my favourite pastime since I first learned ABC. A top SPM scorer from Malay College Kuala Kangsar admitted that he used to read while having his meal, a habit that I always do. The only difference is that he scored 9As in his SPM while I just had to settle for 4As. It's way back in 1990.

I was first introduced to Reader’s Digest by my English teacher, Mr. Shamsudin Abdul Rahman when I was in Form 2. I studied at Sains Machang Secondary School, Kelantan (SMACH ) for five years and all my TESL-trained teachers really inspired me to brush up on this subject by carrying out interesting activities during lessons. At first, I found it difficult to comprehend the level of language used in the magazine due to the lack of exposure to this second language, but I managed to pull through, somehow. I slowly started to enjoy reading English newspapers and magazines and this helped me to improve my four language skills, namely reading, writing, listening and speaking.

Now, if you wish to subscribe to Reader’s Digest at discounted price, you may contact my friend, Nasrun Ismail who owns his own distribution company, Ilham Pintar. The newsstand price is RM15 per issue but you can get RM6 cheaper here. The subscription form can be downloaded here.
