Lately, there has been numerous of blogs now condemning Malaysia. The sad part is, it's Malaysians condemning Malaysia. You know the kinds of Malaysians that are so over westernized and worship the west til they become so blind and see only the bad of Malaysia and only the good of the west? Yeah, they are those kinds of Malaysians. The kind that feels they're so smart and intellegent and call all the Malaysians, especially those from the kampung "uneducated", "immature", "stupid", "close-minded" and whatever hell terms they use for their own personal perception on this country.
Now let me tell you something. Most of these people (most, not all), are those who has been overseas before, whether studying undergrad, postgrad, or even during their schooling days. So I guess that's where they could compare between Malaysia and whatever else country. Well, I have lived overseas for six whole years of my life and let me tell ya, I sooooooooooo disagree with those people.
The thing is, they're totally bias. They are totally in love with westerners till they have no longer love or respect for their own country. I mean, hello, why do you guys always mention the bad things about Malaysia and leave out the good? How come you guys only mention the good things about the west and leave out the bad?
You guys keep mentioning about the racist Malaysians, the sex offender Malaysians, the hypocrite religious Malaysians, the uncaring, stupid, immature Malaysians.
What about the Malaysian mothers who bore cerebral palsy (a conditon where children are mentally and physically disable for the rest of their lives) children and is willing to sacrifice every single thing in her life for her children's sake, willing to stay 24/7 beside her child, always on the alert if her child is in need of anything and is willing to sacrifice time, money and her life to make sure her child lives a long as possible meaningful life, even if the child can't directly appreciate his/her mother's efforts? What about the Malaysian wives who are already so old themselves, who needs to take care of their own health but instead sacrifices everything to take care of her paralyzed husband from the neck down? And what about the Malaysian teenage brother (and please note that I emphasize teenage) that is willing to sacrifice his youth to take care of his little brother who has end stage renal failure and is willing to stay for months in the hospital to make sure his little brother has the best care ever? And what about Malaysian daughter who is willing to sacrifice her life and her own family to take care of her bedridden elderly mother who was diagnosed with brain tumour and is willing to wash, care, feed and do everything for her mother including cleaning urine and stool on the floor?
What about those Malaysians? Why don't you guys ever talk about them? You think they don't exist? You think that Malaysians aren't capable of passion and love? Well, they do exist. I've met them myself. Every single one of them.
You guys are so self-absorbed in your oh-so-western ways in your oh-so-I-hate-Malaysia bubble that you never opened your eyes to actually see these people. They are all around you.
And one more thing. I'm not a really religious person myself. I don't wear the scarf and all but people around me don't actually come up to me and tell me I'm too sexy and should be ashamed of myself and all. So if this actually keeps on and on happening to you (because it's all you ever talk about), then maybe you should take a long hard look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself, "What's wrong with me?"
