Let the poor say I am rich.

I got this interesting fact from George's blog.

Remember the song "Give Thanks"? The chorus of this worship song mention this:

"And now let the weak say i am strong
let the poor say i am rich
because of what the Lord has done
for us..."

Well, it had confirmed itself to be a prophetic proclaimation. Poor people (like myself) who can only put 1cent coin into their 'piggy bank' might wanna shout "AMEN, HALELUJAH!" all the way to the the kedai besi or to any wire manufacturer.

Here's what George had to say:

1 cent coin is 1.75g
so, 1kg = 572 pieces = RM 5.72
1kg copper on market worth RM 27.25

Will the poor say "I am Rich"? Yes of course! But I dare to bet that not only the poor will say "I am Rich"...

Pencuri / thieves will also say "Amen, Hallelujah" too, for the wrong reason. Here's a video i found about a man stealing copper wire from a van:
