The Malay Society

I think the biggest flaw of the malay society

is our tendency to JUDGE,
PREMATURELY.


Basically, it goes like this.

First of all, OUR EYES will
view issues on the surface level.
We start interpreting what we see.
On that very spot,
we try to make sense of it.

Just like how we look up at the sky
and deduce that its BLUE,
or when we look at blood,
and happily hypothesize thats its RED.

It gives us this feeling of security,
This logical sense of reasoning,
the act of categorising.
A temporary fleeting sense of
contentment, happiness then engulfs us,
to know that we are sure about something,
a delusional knowledge.
And we see start shaping our ideals, firm opinions
towards what we see and
what we choose to believe upon it.

THAT undeniable emotion,
is like a drug.
We are so impatient,
so quick to reach that level of contentment.
To make a conclusion,
we fail to to use our ability,
our gifts from GOD
to discern,
to THINK
And make matured fair judgements.

OUR HEARTS
act on impulse,
and thats when we malays
commit our flaws;
Prematured Assumptions,
Generalisation, Stereotypes.

And haha you can guess,
how such a mistake ravages,
tears apart and destroys our society,
like a tornado, a disastrous chain-effect.


Okok hmm let me think of a case-study
to depict this flaw in our society clearer.

Lately, the issue about MATS and MINAHS
have been clawing away at the edge of my thoughts.
A result of the recent video(saw it on fb!)
showcasing 3 young girls
bitching about 'MINAHS'.

As a matter of fact,
i think the notion, this branding,
is actually a product of
PREMATURE JUDGEMENTS.
I mean sureee, i perfectly understand HOW
such stereotypes are here in the first place.
But WHY?

Minahs i believe are defined by the mass
as girls who portray ghetto-like characteristics,
similar to the not-so-well-off downtown females
in the Unites States.
They are often deemed as,
Juvenile Delinquents,
widely disapproved by the public
due to their notorious ways
of hooligan-like behaviour,
sinful ways and unsightly appearance.

But Really.
Why do we have to brand them?
Shun them, Ostracize them?
Judge them rashly and harshly when we havent even considered
the reason why they ARE like that in the first place
[confirm got family problems one;(]

Why the hell are we doing all this,
when we should be helping them instead?:/

Why are we letting this harmful stereotype
live through generations,
why are we creating crack lines between us,
inciting feelings such as hatred, disgust and disdain against each other
when we should really be united and helping each other instead.

I dont blame those three small malay girls in the video,
they are but merely victims,
tangled in an unfortunate societal web,
a result of our immaturity as well as the immaturity of others
from generations before of us.

In fact i feel angry when i read those hate comments
calling them stupid and stuckup and bitches and whatnot.
Like HELLO???
They're small kids for god sake,
Would you kick and slap and punish a baby for making a mistake??:(

we should be protecting them and correcting them,
It angers me to know that
we fail to possess the basic sense of humanity
to protect a younger generation.
Instead we throw hatred,
blaming them for something that we could have deterred from.


If you get where im going,
then do something to save the Malay society,
Save the future generations,
Save our children.


Think before you judge.
