Have lived for generations as Malaysians but are still called “Pendatang” or Immigrant

Few years back, if I were to read the news on racial remarks being made I would have balked or fumed in anger. But now I think that they are just shameful and uncivilized people. They are narrow minded people who have no respect for others.


Truly, it is a shock that racial remarks were made by a headmistress in Johor and it is shameful. Headmistresses and teachers are supposed to guide their students that they are an unbiased, morally good person and practice the good traits by being a role model. But instead, she damaged it all. Our Prime Minister have been strongly promoting 1Malaysia, promoting unity in all of us and here she is defying every of its concept. What will happen to the future of our “Anak Malaysia” when their educators behaving in such a manner?

The question is not really we are “pendatang” (immigrant) or not but whether we have been a good citizen. So if a person is the origin country men but is a thief, murderer or someone who misuses country’s money for one’s own personal gain or abusing one’s power and oppresses others or disrupting peace of a country by hurling racial remarks, are they better than a “pendatang”? I would say they are the worst kind of a being. They are traitors that poison a country.

Why would it matter if a person is a “pendatang” when all they do is just live peacefully and do no harm to others? Aren’t we all human living in the same earth? What good does it do for those who are racist that when flood or fire came we have to help each other no matter what ethnicity or the status of our immigration. If in times of need we are only helping those that are of the same kind only, doesn’t it make us crude? Even a dog knows the meaning of humanity when it took a kitten under its care.

Let’s not blind ourselves over meaningless issue when there are bigger issues that we need to attend to. They are so many poor people, children that need guidance, drug addicts that need rehabilitation and maintaining peace in our country.

Dumping babies

What can I say, our society is turning into beasts…. first we have a case of a 10 year old girl being raped by a bus driver in a school bus within the presence of other children.

Then we have youngsters dumping their own flesh and blood. What have tempted these wild beasts to do such a thing? As reported in the news, the numbers of dumping babies are rising.

I would say that nobody take religion and morality seriously anymore. Some of us, we joined a particular religion not for the sake of making us a morally respectful person but for our own personal gain and for some, they were forced into having a religion but have never embrace the principles and teachings of it. I think some of the youngsters now will think having a religion is a joke. They rather selfishly engage in the pleasures of having the latest techno gadget like iPod, Notebook, latest killing games, great places to eat, great places to shop,"lepak" here and there and even engage in sexual pleasure.

I am not saying it is wrong to have pleasures in life but we have to keep in mind that pleasures don’t go overboard that it affects the society and in turn become social ills.

The other issues are that most of our Malaysians have this “Tidak Apa” attitude. This is dangerous especially if we adopt such an attitude when we are parenting our kids throughout their life. I know some parents they have this thinking that so long as their kids are well fed, receiving good education and enough toys to play then it is enough. But they never teach their kids the reasons that some acts should be condemned and how to control temptation.

At the end of the day I think all of us whether we are parents, Government, teachers, preachers have to play a part in preventing such issues from occurring in the future. 

Love is almighty!
