~Poverty Statistics

Poverty can be divided into two that are absolute poverty and relative poverty. Absolute poverty is a dynamic concept while relative poverty is a concept of income inequality.

In order to measure the poverty, absolute poverty will calculate the poverty rate that is the percentage of population or households which income below the poverty line. Normally we see it from the gross monthly income that is insufficient to purchase the minimum requirements of household as measured by the level of the minimum expenditure or income poverty line (PGK)

Relative poverty is measured by using income disparity ratios of income groups, ethnic groups and rural and urban residents. Another measure of relative poverty that is often used is the percentage of households with income less that half of such median or average income.

According to poverty eradication foundation of Malaysia, in year 2005, Sabah is the country that high in poverty number followed by the East Cost country, Kelantan and Terengganu. Other ranking is Sarawak, Kedah, Perak, Pahang, Perlis, Selangor, Johor, Negeri Sembilan, Melaka and finally Penang.

~Death Due to Globalization

As previous post, globalization cause poverty to the world. The major effect of that is the number of death due to hunger increase each time. From the statistic, there are about 12 000 people die due to hunger. Most of it are innocent children. They suppose to go to school, study rather that suffer from hunger. They are the future leader. Who else will rule the society to be a develop country. That really such a waste and really sad. Maybe we do not care or know about it. As a responsible person, we must help to decrease the number of the death. It become the responsible of each people in this world. We have to work together to overcome it. Poor the baby and small child, they become the victims of the world crime. As I write this, now there are about 200 number of death at this hour. How come we just see the number increase time by time. Please....Work together to avoid it from increase rapidly. We can sent some food supply to them. Responsible citizens will increase the development of the country.

~Reality~

This is the reality that happen around us now. Maybe we not realize about it. As a responsible citizens, we have to take note about it.
