180 trillion + Money Purposely BURNED
Finance October 29th, 2009
Murderer No. 1 Some time ago (5/4/09) came to me a partner Syariah Mandiri Cengkareng BMT-by-chance-smokers ‘are’ (1 / 2 pack / day = Rp.5000), intends to apply venture capital financing. After talking a while, he complained that business conditions from the past until now still not developed, except for flowers flared. So I try to ‘dissect’ financial circulation is unfortunate that he always. Apparently, cigarette consumption becomes a significant contributor to the costs incurred, even almost 30% of monthly living expenses. And a supporter of the ‘bangkrutisasi’ dijalankannya business, business capital is only about 1 million. Knowing how much money has been and will burn in his life (5000xHari = xxx …), she shed tears thinking about the future of his son, “So far I’ve been planning for the future anak2 burn me!” He said, wiping her tears. And committed to quit smoking cigarettes and divert budget for future investment through BMT Cengkareng son Syariah Mandiri. Istri/ibu2 common the habit of complaining that her husband anak2nya even a hobby “bakar2 money”, whereas to obtain the meager money they have to benar2 ‘solve’ the bone, and budget their cigarettes more often 30% of household costs incurred . And their families are still much needed basic needs / points that must be met, such as milk children, education, even though the rice. And I believe this phenomenon occurs not only my environment, but equally in all places, as is often reported notably. The facts before the eyes of the show that some heavy smokers but they can send children to school abroad and favorite, was to be grateful for being able to economically (remember, more than tens of millions of smokers who had such good luck). And much more grateful for a cigarette when the budget can be allocated to help people who are unable (despite all this I am sure they are not separated from the activity took ZIS / social). Assuming a budget of Rp cigarettes. 10.000/perhari, then the number a year they will definitely be able to provide additional scholarships for anak2 who could not afford. And just an illustration, I would like to quote an email from a friend, Fuad Baraja (June’s father in the soap opera Jin & Jun): “The number of smokers in Indonesia several years ago as many as 70 million people. Indonesian Muslims 80% of the total population in Indonesia. Tarohlah 80%. Then the mean number of smokers Muslims as much as 50 million people. Every person smokes a day between 1 to 4 packs. TAROHLAH 1 pack. Price pack of cigarettes between 8 to 12 thousand dollars. TAROHLAH Rp 10.000, — UMAT ISLAM INDONESIA means spend the money PER-DAY A total of 50,000,000 people x 1 pack x Rp 10,000 = Rp 500 billion. Within a month: 30 days X 500 Billion = 15 trillion. Within one year: 12 months X 15 = 180 trillion trillion. Subhanallah & NA’UZUBILLAH. Much money dredged by the tobacco companies that we know who they are, even their own most of the NO SMOKING. Figures are very, very fantastic bin spectacular for a nation that always makes a crucial disease ridden hell: POVERTY! By the numbers’ So much ‘, I’m sure we can open / create more jobs and better welfare for the society, including tobacco farmers and cigarette factory workers arrive at the hal2 smelling smoke that become the’ shield ‘for’ ashabunnar ‘. Even had a theory, a fact which shows that smoking is the Gate of Drugs. Surely we can not expect the government will issue an anti-smoking law or Cigarette Factory Eradication Act, because it’s ‘rice pot’ governments are burned with fire and smoke. SOLUTION Tree Perhaps one solution is to the girls and mothers who could stem the latent danger of cigarettes is a way to say “NO Smoker”: For those who want to gadis2 be edited & for the children to Ibu2 proposed ….
Not meant to ‘scare’ what else restrict human rights (Human Rights smoking), because the younger generation has a moral responsibility, social and even financially to do best for the future generations, although it could only be done through writing like this …
So, what about we? Wallahua’lam bishawab
