Its so shameful to see how so many of us now a days have forgotten their roots. It's even much more shameful to know that there's that torn among ma roses friends!
I believe that we humans are all the same. Forget the skin colour cos at this age of time, we have dark chinese, fair malays n indians..mix here mix there. No certainty between religion and race either. There are muslim chinese, christian indians n so on. But one certainty is the culture. And thats the beauty we earn for being a specific race. The best part is we get to share it with other races too...just like Malaysians does.
So y are there ppl who still doesnt know how to appreciate their own culture. Instead, they are ashame of it!! What a waste!! I was watching a new TV show on 8tv yesterday, Trippin' hosted by Reena. Its so interesting to see em learning about Mah Mari(did i get that right?). Its an art of wood carving. Im not sure where it is really cos I only saw the last part, but its just an hour drive away from KL. But guess what?? No Malaysians have written anything about it. The only book about Mah Mari was written by a German!
I was shocked..and surprised..and ashamed..n even angry yesterday after being told about a friend..who looks down on her own culture! What is wrong with wearing baju kurung?? Does it mean u r backdated or conservative or as malay would put it, 'kuno'?? She said that she doesnt want to work in a malay company because she doesnt want to be a TYPICAL MALAY who works from 8-5 and wears BAJU KURUNG everyday! What the....???? Its an insult to even label TYPICAL MALAYS as that..
First of all....YOU are the one with the backdated mind, missy. Your mind is so shallow and u r judging others based on such a long- gone- culture in Malaysia. No one here works from 8-5 everyday! You should come here and see it for urself! There are ppl who work till 9-10pm at night..and who sacrifices their weekends too and sometimes even public hols!
It comes back to the individual. It is YOU yourself that create ur work culture. Not others. You can work in a malay or chinese or global company...and u r what u r. So dont blame the BAJU KURUNG..or the TYPICAL MALAY attitude to make excuses. It is YOU.
So my advice to everyone out there, appreciate what and who u r. Thats what makes you YOU. Just because u grew up or studied in overseas, doesnt mean u r someone else. If you are a Malay girl..u will be till u die. So dont be a copy-cat and or a fake! Learn to learn about your own culture..love your language. If you can learn western's why cant you learn your own?
Do not forget your roots. You are a lost soul without ur roots
Peace
