Man Unable To Return Home For Raya Due To His Financial Situation, Mom Calls Him Selfish

17-Apr-2023

If you're struggling financially right now, you're not alone.


This anonymous confession, posted by the Media Malaysia Facebook Page reflects exactly what most Malaysians are potentially facing right this moment.


The confessor started by asking the question, "Is it sinful if I can't go back home for Raya?"


"After doing some calculations, with my RM1.5K salary and other commitments, I am only left with RM500-RM600."


Stretching RM600 to survive in a month until your next paycheque sounds like an impossible task, but it's a bitter reality for most of the people in the country living with low wages.


"I told my mom I can't go home for Raya because I'm afraid that my savings will be insufficient after the celebration but my mom accuses me of not prioritising her. I had already purchased my ticket home but after getting my salary this month, I realise how tight my financial situation is."


"Because of this situation, I am labelled as the black sheep in the family. It's not that I don't want to return home, but my financial situation forbids me to. No one will come to my aid if my savings run out."



The confessor explains that this situation puts him in a dilemma as he's torn between disappointing his mother and falling into deep financial woes.
