Melayu atau Me-layu?

Ok sebelum nak mula citer kena terangkan dulu..saya orang Melayu, agama Islam dan mak ayah saya orang melayu walaupun ada kacukan Thailand. Tapi saya dibesarkan sebagai orang Melayu. Ok, sekarang sudah terbukti yang saya melayu walaupun bukan 100%.

Ok now back to the story..Walaupun saya orang melayu tapi sebenarnya saya akan rasa irritate bila dapat tahu pasal kisah orang-orang melayu yang layak dilenyekkan dengan steamroll..Orang melayu macam mana?? There are too many types of irritating Malays that at 1 point in time u lose count. For example, orang melayu yang buat business. Time nak suruh kita beli barang, cakap punya gah, service kononya hebat sangat. Janji macam-macam sampai kalau nak kira macam tak logik. Tapi bila execution, lebih teruk daripada budak yang baru nak masuk tadika. This just happened to me last 2 week, when my mum gi menggatal nak pasang Streamyx (padahal kat rumah dah guna Celcom Broadband). Jumpa dealer streamyx masa promotion kat Alamanda and after isi all the relevant document, they promise to install everything within three days or worse 1 week. So everything been said and done,we went home hoping that within a week we can use the new service. Tup tup hari ini, which means genap 2 minggu baru call kata nak pasang. Apa kes?? Selalu dengar businessman Melayu cakap kalau business dorang tak laku sebab orang dengki and macam-macam lagi. But the real reason behind it ialah businessman melayu majoritinyer pemalas and suka cari jalan mudah. Lepas tu bila ada bangsa lain maju mulalah nak dengki. Padahal salah sapa??

And kalau cakap pasal orang melayu, kita mesti tak boleh tinggal bab Hiburan. Hiburan ngan orang melayu ni dah sebati. Sebab tu kat TV ada macam-macam program dari program untuk orang muda sampai ke yang dah nak Isya'. Program-program realiti tak payah ceritala. Dah macam-macam, kalah duduk kat Hollywood. Tapi yang peliknyer, dalam banyak-banyak program realiti nih, yang ada substance bley bilang ngan jari tangan kanan je.Program merepek pulak yang banyak. Dari rancangan paling bodoh i.e Akademi Fantasia sampailah ke pertandingan nyanyi bebudak. Apa yang best sangat tengok anak melayu melompat terkinja-kinja? Pastuh menangis and gelak tak tentu hala. Yang mak bapak pun satu, seboleh2 nak bagi anak masuk benda macam ni. Pastu bila anak-anak jadi tak tentu arah sibuk nak salahkan budaya Barat. Where on earth do u get this idea??

Orang melayu memang suka mencari kesalahan orang lain. Walaupun salah tu kecil and tak significant langsung tapi sibuk nak pukul canang bagi seantero dunia tau. Case and point, I went to a bookstore last week and I did come across a book title "Agenda Yahudi". I did some scanning and discover some of the point such as orang yahudi nak sesatkan umat Islam dengan guna Facebook, lalaikan ngan menggunakan hiburan etc. It makes me think. Really?? Does being a FB user makes u sesat?? And I did my own research, almost all reality programmes in Malaysia made by Malay.So kat mana Yahudinyer??I know that some people might say ni semua pengaruh Yahudi. Come on, people! How shallow can you be?? Even kalau betul yahudi nak sesatkan kita, are we too dumb and too weak to say no? Or are we just being ignorant and just love to finger pointing at others. I do admit yang Yahudi selalu ada hidden agenda. So does Malay, ladies and gentleman. So kalau anak melayu terlompat-lompat macam beruk kena belacan, jangan salahkan Yahudi tapi salahkan Akademi Fantasia.

I know some Malay may label me as ungrateful or whatever negative label that come to their mind. And some might already feel the heat. But as a malay, I cannot stand when I look at my own race being ridiculed because of their own stupidity.Dah banyak sangat stereotype pasal orang melayu.Kalau sebut melayu orang akan fikir pasal buang anak, rasuah, poligami, witchcraft and dengki. Susah melayu nak diassociatekan dengan benda yang positive. I'm sick and tired looking at the younger generation acting stupidly in public places. I sick and tired when the Malay politician keep saying 1 thing and only to be doing another. I cannot find a distinct Malay role model. Is being a Malay that bad??No, its not. But being Malay and to see her own race tumbling down is a disaster. I seriously think that 1 day, this race will vanish entirely from the face of the earth and I'm praying hard that it would not happen during my time.

So, a reminder to myself and other Malays out there. Wake up and smell the coffee!! Stop being complacent with what we have, coz it will disappear someday. Embrace learning, be it in a book or from experience. Stop blaming others and start correcting yourself coz no one will help you unless you help yourself. What do you think?
