Zayd ibn Khalid reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever helps break the fast of a fasting person, he will have the same reward as him without decreasing anything from the reward of the fasting person.” (al-Tirmidhi)
Please give generously before and during this fasting month. If you need a cause to support, I have one.
My parents are involved with Rumah Seri Kenangan Cheras, a senior citizen care center. It has the stated objective of “Memberi jagaan, rawatan dan perlindungan kepada warga emas yang daif demi menjamin kesejahteraan dan kualiti hidup mereka.” (unofficial translation: provide care, treatment and shelter for impoverished senior citizens to guarantee their quality of life). This year, they are looking for donations to give the residents cheer by providing them an additional something for breaking fast. For 29 days, for 220 residents, at least RM4180 is requested. This ends up being RM0.65 per resident per day.
They (and I) look forward to you giving generously. May I suggest the value of lunches you give up during Ramadhan, or your daily shot of caffeine?
Reference to the home can be seen at https://rumahserikenangancheras.blogspot.com/p/mengenai-rsk-cheras.html, https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064359112542, http://www.jbsn.gov.my/berita-jbs-negeri-selangor/program-kami-prihatin-rumah-seri-kenangan-cheras-rskc.html.
At the time of writing, I don’t have their banking details yet. If you believe that, in this at least, I am trustworthy, you can pass the donation to me. I may match one to one donation as well.

Didn’t I publish a previous article about being upbeat?
Dateline 2023-01-03, Malaysian Reserve:
THE oil and gas (O&G) sector is expected to run into twin headwinds this year, characterised by the volatility in the energy market and the slowdown of the global economy.
Oil prices were steady and closed higher last Friday, ending 2022 on a gain despite concerns due to weakening demand from top crude importer China and the growing risk of a global recession. This marked a second straight annual gain in a volatile year marked by tight supplies because of the Ukraine war and China’s lockdowns.
One bright spot for Malaysia is Petroleum Nasional Bhd (Petronas) and the overall positive sentiment towards
its activities for 2023-2025, as well as the national oil giant’s third-quarter net profit which almost doubled to RM30.8 billion from the RM16.3 billion reported in 2021.

Vehicle engine capacity data from the road transport department (JPJ) will be among the resources used by the Malaysian government in the creation of the targeted fuel subsidy mechanism in order to determine which users are eligible for the future targeted fuel subsidy which is almost ready, reported Bernama.
According to domestic trade and cost of living minister Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub, the ministry has discussed the matter with the ministry of finance, the economy minister Rafizi Ramli and the JPJ, according to the report.
“In terms of the data, they are almost ready to be forwarded to the prime minister on how we can implement this targeted subsidy,” Salahuddin said, adding that the JPJ database can identify those who are eligible for the targeted subsidy based on the engine capacity of the vehicle they own.
