When you throw something into the air, it will eventually come down due to the law of gravity. However when prices keep spiralling upwards there is no law of gravity to pull it down. The result of such economic phenomena will be inflation. Then the bubble will burst, then there will be economic depression. I am not sure whether my theory is correct because I am not an economic professor. Simply to me the future looks rather gloomy!
Anyway to cushion us ( our school )from the rising prices, yesterday and the day before I went to the biggest stationary warehouse in Shah Alam to buy some 30 reams of A 4 papers, 1200 pieces of execise books, and some other stationaries. The salesgirl commented that I was doing a clever thing since she believed the price will definitely incresed by 40-50% come the 1st of July. I would have bought more items but that would tie down my capital and disturb my cashflow and the other problem would be storage.
The rise in prices of most goods is really hurting us. We are running our school based more on charitable consideration rather than a commercial one. As such we could not expect the parents to be burdened with increase in fees. At one point I thought that we might have to close the school. I was a bit depressed. Fortunately, with prayers and peservearence Allah SWT made it dawned upon me that if we are doing His job, help will come in many ways.
Insya-Allah we will plod on day by day to build this school to make it a success. May Allah allow this to happen. Ameen!

salam,
ReplyDeletemakin hari harga barang2 makin naik , saya dapat bayangkan bagaimana payahnya makteh nak maintain sekolah kerana sememangnya pendidikan ni lebih kepada kebajikan dan tidak kepada keuntungan . Bagi yang membiayai anak-anak belajar dengan sendiri (FAMA ) kami juga dapat merasai keperitannya sekarang bilamana wang poket bulanan yang diberi tidak lagi mencukupi , satu je kami harap agar anak-anak dimurahkan rezeki agar dapa dapat menamatkan pelajaran, InsyaAllah.
Semoga makteh dan anak-anak tahfiz diberikan laluan mudah agar dapat meneruskan sekolah tersebut. Amin.
Sarina, kita berdoa semoga masa depan rakyat dan keadaan dalam negara kita akan bertambah baik.
ReplyDeleteTerima kasih di atas doa anda. Alhamdulillah setakat ini kami masih boleh bertahan.
Ada juga kami mendapat bantuan derma keewangan dari seorang hamba Allah yang sedang berada di Dubai yang prihatin. Mak teh tak tahu siapa orang ini tetapi mak teh percaya dia adalah salah seorang blogger-mate kita.
Siapapun dia mak teh ucapkan terima kasih dan kami doakan semoga Allah mencucuri rahmat ke atasnya. Ameen!
