I Detest... Labels: degrade, lazy, malays, Melayu, pemalas
1) Melayukan pemalas (Malays are lazy)
2) If there is a devil around, we follow the devil.
3) It is not that we don't wish to do it, its just that we are lazy.
4) I thought you are very 'relax', never thought you will be angry.
These were the nonsensical, blasphemous excuses my men gave me whenever I caught them doing something wrong. Frankly, I feel its whole lot of bull.
The debate we was about executing our duty well was a whole lot of crap. It had no basis and with such excuses being uttered, I feel it was a waste of time even trying to make them realise their mistake.
Initially I wrote a long entry regarding an incident that happened during my shift but I realise it was written with so much anger it sounded bias and unjust.
I guess if I had the courage to tell that particular person off I would have inform and educate him this...
What do you mean by Melayu Pemalas? I bet there are many out there who would have disagreed with you. Look at our parents. Would you have unlimited supply of food and clothes without their hard work to earn? Before you even say such a statement, have you ever wondered about all those who have put in tireless and unrecognised effort to contribute to society and nation? What about our ancient forefathers who helped in building our nation?
What lazy people are you talking about? What 'special' benefits do we get? Am I not informed about a bumiputera plan or something?
We malays climbed our way out of poverty and uneducated backgrounds to be on par with our counterparts. We practically make full use of free education and the opportunity to enhance our skills to be better and useful people.
We even prove to others that we need no special treatment to get us going!
So what f-ing 'Melayu Pemalas' are you talking about?
I simply hate such lame excuses and its because of sentiments such as this that degrades a community. Even if it was meant to be a joke, I believe that an comment such as that is undeserving and should not be shared to people who have worked hard to be where they are today.
