Hey there!
I once came across a group of Pakistanian guys –in their
early 20’s I guess when I had to ask permission to take one of their seats from
their table in an Arab restaurant. Frankly I was having thoughts like being
treated strangely cause’ possibly they’re foreigners on a tour in Malaysia. To
my amusement, they smiled kindly and nodded their agreement. Believe me, I’ve
never seen young men treat strangers that nice. Just in case if you say because
I’m a girl, no. It’s not flirty, it’s pleasuring. You can see how honest they
seem.
Then I felt bad about making assumptions on people that
quickly.
Similar to when it comes to racism.
To be honest I’m sick of all this argument according to
races. We live in one country for God’s sake. True, I’ve read all the messages
people pass regarding to what other races are planning to do with Malays.
“We will treat them as nice as possible. Plant their trust
on us and use this opportunity to go drooling over their wealth and bring them
down. They’re very easy to be beaten up. We’re conquering the economic so far.
Remember, this will be ours, blablablabla….”
Yes yes I get it. It’s good to be spreading ‘the love’ about
other races evil plans on us Malays. True, malays are rather showing signs of
stupidity as a majority of the population in Malaysia. However, let’s take it
on another view. Fighting to protect our own race is nothing more than a sense
of selfish. No offence, I admit I am embarrassed for what my race has done
publicly doesn’t matter even in entertainments. No attitude. No manners. Too
obsessed with excitement. Too busy enjoying life.
My honest say, if you really want to keep on being crazy,
make sure you’re not a symbolism to Islam. Do understand you may never be able
to change the statement “Never judge a car by it’s driver”. Because that’s what
they see. Our reputation spoiler.
If you’re a girl and it’s obvious you wear a hijab, there’s
no option on doing stuff that doesn’t resemble Islam do you?
Now before wanting to blame other races on this harsh
involvements, reflect yourself first. If you play an important role as a Malay
on doing whatever you like without boundaries, indeed it’s embarrassing. So don’t
utter a word of saying other races are worth being banned. We’re all equal.
Oh. Please take note
to put away all politic issues here. Don’t relate anything about races with
politics. Not when I’m talking. Lol.
Let us relate Jews and Palestians for example.
(P/S: I’m sorry if I haven’t discussed much about news on
Islam. Ever since I got graduated from school, I don’t know what source to believe
and tell you. I am blind on knowing the truth. Medias are just rubbish)
Simple as it looks but those are the so-called Jews we
assume as an enemie to Muslims. Reality is they aren’t as bad as we think they
are. They’re citizens who lives in the holy land and yet doesn’t disgrace and
make a simple act of violence to Muslims. They, too, live in humanity with the
teachings their religion has taught upon.
So what happens when all Jews get world attention regarding
to violence in Palestine and are blamed entirely?
They tend to make an activist proving they have nothing to
do with the extremists. We, without knowledge simply point out our fingers to
them. Zionists are the ones we’re banning.
The problem when it comes to Zionists is when don’t have a
single idea what kind of people they are, reality yes?
Let’s look back to our country Malaysia.
The story goes on like a fairytale. Suppose that a malay man
landed on a land without a single thread of human corruption. He then becomes
king and rules the land. He marries and got a boy and named him Prince Aiman.
He then adopts two more children named Weh Cin and Prakash. They, too, own the
land but they know Aiman is the worth one to be the next ruler because it was
his father who found the land. Only then, Aiman is so stubborn since he was so
sure he’ll take the thrown and became spoilt. Weh Cin and Prakash has no choice
but to condemn him and find solutions on making the land theirs.
P/s: Sorry, I suck when it comes to stories. That’s why
teacher encourages me to make factual essays.
That’s what they think. That’s what people besides to be
Malay think. It’s just not fair. Then again, they are a part of our lives. They
are our neighbours. They’re everywhere there’s no denying that. They’re not
stupid. So are we.
So what can a normal average citizen like you and me do?
Respect each other and be smart.
Who are we to ban one another? Even if they are rumours
stating Chinese will do such things to bring us down, then all we have to do is
be careful, not instantly attacking them. We can’t equalize and act of hatred
from a differ raced person with another person who has the same race as he
does.
Not all of them hate Malays. And not all Malays hate them.
Sometimes when a different race looks at you, you know if
they hate you despite of your race.
I did, once, in a train when me and my friend wanted to go
KLCC from TBS to watch The Fault in Our Stars. He was somewhat 50. I had this
feeling he doesn’t like Malays, let alone teenagers. So I greeted him and had
this simple conversation. When my stop arrived, I left him from the train with
a smile. And really, I wished I could make a difference on his perception about
Malays.
A bad person can cause the majority to hate his whole race.
But a person who shows good vibes can change a person’s perception of realizing
that not all of the individuals from that race are the same.
See? Every problem has it's solution.
My grandfather also told me the time when he visited his Chinese
friend in a hospital who suffered a bad infection in his mouth. My grandfather was still close to him though he's so racist when it comes to politic and discussion matters regarding to races. He whispered to my grandfather softly in the ear, holding his hand and said;
“You are the best Malay friend I have ever had”.
We keep saying we are embarrassed with specific people that
represents us to be bad or lack of morality. But indeed, we can change their
way of thinking by being that difference.
No hatred please. Just spread the
love.
hahaha seriously they're cute. But I don't want them in my room. Spooky.
Even so, be smart. Be friends with the whole community, but don’t be dumb
enough to be in a trap of those who hate us.
Example for those who will be in college. Don’t involve
yourself to be in a college where a majority of the students and councils are
from a differ race. They’ll push you down. Taylors for instance. Malay lecturers told me so about it.
Whatever it is, I’m a rebel to racism.
You’ve got brains. You can make a difference. :)
