Malays

I'm a Malay, and sometimes, I'm ashamed of my own race.
Like seriously. 
Majority of Malays are Muslims. But the majority of the Malay Muslims don't act like one. 

For example :
A few weeks ago, I went window shopping at the heart of this metropolitan city. As I was walking, I saw a huge group of teenagers, aged about 13 years old, walking opposite my direction, laughing boisterously, holding hands macam couple, and creating havoc on the walk way.
I looked at the group was like "OMG!. A group of young Malays. Why am I not surprised".

A few miles away, on the other side of the complex, there was another group of Malay teenagers. Smoking, laughing, drinking, and being loud right in the middle a walkway.

People of other races were staring and shaking their heads. I too was shaking my head. At that moment, I was ashamed of being a Malay. What was their parents thinking of letting them go? Didn't their parents educate them on smoking and drinking under age? Didn't their parents educate them about manners? Didn't their parents give them a set of rules about going out?
Oh wait! I forgot, parents zaman sekarang, they're too busy making money. They don't have time for their own kids.
When I look at these poor teenagers, all I could think of was they lack attention from their own parents. They are hungry for attention, that's why, these teenagers, they go out and look for attention else where.

Kesian betul anak-anak melayu kita.

Another Example :
When I read headlines on bayi kena buang, bayi baru lahir kena bunuh, and etc, the first thing that comes on my mind is this must be a work from a young Malay. And I continue reading the articles and yeah, I'm right.
There's always time of year, when these sad news on the new born never stop. Why these young teens are scared of what society would think if they keep these new born.
You see, in the Malay society, it is Haram for you to have premarital intercourse, and give birth before marriage. Most Malay families would kick out their kids if they are caught on having sexual activities with their partners and baking a bun in the oven.
So in order to stay in the family and avoid drama, they either kill the innocent soul cold heartedly or throw it somewhere and pray that wont get caught. Sad aint it?
What's even more sad, the victims of these dramas are the baby (duh!) and the teenage girl. Where's the father of the baby? And why isn't he caught in this drama as well? Only God knows.

After reading too much news about these baby cases, I came to a conclusion whereby, our society does not educate these teens enough about sexuality and the consequences on having it. I mean all I know is that, they educate these kids on if you have premarital sex, you'll go to hell, if you get pregnant you'll go to hell as well, and our family will lose face.
So because of the lack of attention from adults, and lack of education, these kids, they go to the net and what do they do? They tengok citer "blue".And when they watch it, they get turned on, thus they invite friends to watch it together and try it out. Besides the net, they purchase these explicit movies on illegal markets. Again, they'll watch with friends will try out what they've seen on t.v.

While they're busy trying out new projects, their parents are busy making money. And they're also unaware what's going on with their children. And so what's surprising to me is that some of them are also unaware that their kids are pregnant. Which is sad.

Then cold heartedly they ditch the innocent soul away like it's some kind of rubbish. It's heart breaking to read and hear stories about babies being killed and thrown it's some kind of rubbish. It's also heart breaking to know that these cases are normally done by non other than Malays.

If they were taught properly by teachers and parents, I think non of these would've happened. Simple things like, contraceptions, and consequences of having unsafe sexual activities may have lower the risks of kids having premarital sex. In Islam there is a reason to why coupling is Haraam. And the reason is obvious right.
God has forbidden premarital love for a reason. He knows what's best for all of us. He also forbids non-mahram to touch each other. In a hadith, I can't remember which one, but what I remember reading is that touching a person of the opposite sex is Haram, but touching a pig is not haram. It also says that if one touches a pig, they can samak their hands with sand, but if one touches the opposite sex with no reason than the answer for them is hell, cuz there's no samak if one does such acts.

I don't understand why these kids think the best solution to solving their problems is to throw these young souls out. I don't understand why these kids think that by throwing and killing  their own babies would wash away their sins. I don't understand why these kids' parents and teachers never taught them that if they have sex is a sin, they get pregnant is another sin, and they throw away or  their wedlock child is another sin. So think on how many sins they've committed. I just don't understand these things.

And I think the biggest problem is lack of attention.

But of course not all are like this. Some keep their babies. They know the ones that created the sin is them, and not the baby. A relative of mine, gave birth to a wedlock child. She kept it. Got married to the child's dad. I don't know the whole story. All I know was that she told her mum she was going for a course, and she came back home with a child. The rest they said is history.

Enough of sad baby stories.

Another Example:

I realized that when it comes to politics us Malays get ambitious. Hahah...even though we come from the same race, but we all have different political views. And sad part is, we become each other's enemies when we have different opinions on politics.
You see here in malaysia, we have different political parties. There is :

  1. Umno - The current main body of government. It is lead by Malays but the party is made of Indians, malays and chinese. 1 Malaysia lah.
  2. Pas - This is the religious opposition party. Made of mainly malays.
  3. PKR - Another opposition party.
  4. Keadilan- 
  5. DAP - This lead by mainly chinese.
There are many others. I think. But I don't take port, in this political crap. I just find these politicians are nothing but bullshit artists. Sorry about my language.
Sometimes we malays go against each other because of politics, the chinese, indians and other races laugh at us. It's embarrassing. 
Sometimes I wish, us Malays can stick together, and us Muslims can stick together and be one. Just like how the Prophet (S.A.W) taught us. 

If we are united, maybe we can show the world, how peaceful we really are, and what Islam is all about. If only.
