Prayer Run for Labourers — Sat May 5th meeting 7.30am at Central Market.
May 1st 2012 to many of us means just another holiday, another opportunity to go to the malls and spend time with friends and family. However to 3.2 million workers in the small and medium enterprise sector earning less than RM700 a month, representing 33% of the workforce living below the poverty line of RM763, May 1st was significant as the PM had “historically” announced the minimum wage for the private sector to be set at RM900 for peninsular and $800 for Sabah and Sarawak .( It would be applicable to local as well as foreign workers but not include the domestic services, eg maids and gardeners.)”The lowest paid will now be guaranteed an income that lifts them out of poverty and ensure that they can meet the rising cost of living” declares the PM. NST 1/5/2012
I have been reminded this year how vulnerable and desperate these labourers/workers are to the rising cost of living as i have been approached many times by security guards begging for a few dollars so they get a meal as they had not been paid. These workers live day by day with no savings as whatever little they earn is used up quickly to pay for necessities. Hence a minimum wage is definitely a lifeline for them. However the success of this minimum wage will only depend on its implementation by their employers and enforcement by authorities to make sure that they do so.
Prayer Points : Lets pray for the employers who will be given 6 months to implement this minimum wage once the order is gazeted, that they will not try to find ways to avoid implementing this by laying off workers or scaling down their businesses.
Pray for the Sarawak timber industry who pays just $400/= a month average for 32,000 workers in the industry NST 1/5/2012 according to the Sarawak Malaysian Trades Union. The Sarawak Timber Association says they will incur RM150 mill in costs if they implement the minimum wage. Pray also for the 1.7 million illegal immigrants in Sabah many who are working in the oil plantations , that their employers will be able to implement this minimum wage.
Pray for employers in the micro enterprises eg the hawkers, pasar malam stall owners who are given 12 months to implement this minimum wage, that they can do so without affecting their businesses. Lets also pray for the refugees working illegally who are exploited as they have no rights and are not protected by the labor laws. Many do dangerous labour intensive work suffering injuries and death without compensation.
Lets come and gather on May 5th Saturday at 7.30 am Central Market to run and pray for these labourers.

Prayer for the lost generation
We want to continue to pray for the family in kg tap with 13 children especially for their older children ages 14 to 17 who do not have a birth certificate, I.C. . and have never attended school. These are the lost generation who have been left out without their knowledge by family/society/government and have no hope of finding legitimate jobs. They will become easy targets for drug syndicates, gangsters/crime syndicates as they feel rejected/ left out by society and government even family and these syndicates then provide them with a false sense of identity.
According to Star 28/3 ” An African drug smuggling syndicate is targeting the Indian community especially those who are poor and from rural areas, to be drug mules …. syndicates attracted potential victims by offering jobs with a monthly salary of between RM6k to RM8k”. Once they join them many dissapear/run away, here are some stats, “Of the number 7,662 ppl reported missing nationwide, 3,226 were teenagers between 14 and 17 yrs old … 1,202 were girls.”
Please pray and uphold them esp the children in Kg Tap as they face daily temptation to join these drug syndicates and gangs who prowl around this area. Pray for MP’s , churches, authorities, c3 church and those with power that this lost generation will have an identity, can attend school , find jobs and have LIFE. Without an identity and access to education for these children (lost generation) poor and needy families will be trapped in a cycle of poverty, neglect, crime and violence.

April 7 Kapar Saturday Community Run
On the eve of Easter Sunday, Runnat will be having its first community run organised by C3 Church in Kapar. Klang well known for its “bak kut teh’, thriving family businesses, factories, mushrooming new housing, temples, chinese associations, is notorious for being a seedbed for gangsterism, drugs, crime and poverty in the tamans and kampungs.
C3 Kapar Church has been a courageous, resilient ‘ light in the darkness’ in Kapar providing groceries, daily free tuition, God’s love to the poor and needy in the area. 90% of its church members come from poor and broken families (all are Hindus).Gangsterism and its twins drugs, pornography/easy money have so easily seduced and captured the youth that many are selling drugs in the tamans/kampungs where we will run and pray. They desperately need our help and our prayers so lets stand (pray and run) together with C3 Kapar Church declaring ‘LIFE’, that ‘Jesus is alive’ to this community on April 7, Easter Sunday eve.
