Turquoise and Roses

In light of my recent angsty post, here is some good juju to counter the bad juju from the last post. I must stop, before I start talking about the haze outside which is another matter totally. Argh. Ok ok, I am letting it go. I am at peace. Obama rocks.

Here is a speech I have played and replayed at least 5 times since a day ago.



Post warning: Some taboo language used. Parental guidance advised.

I’m finding myself slightly bothered by something I witnessed tonight in McDonald’s.

A gang of Malay boys, and I definitely mean a big gang of at least 10 boys in their 20s, physically hurting a small group of Middle Eastern-ish looking foreign boys (they look like they’re in their teens), in public. I mean, ok, so maybe they’re just stupid and hormonal and for all I know, they’re probably fighting of some girl. Ugh. Anyway, whatever the cause, it did get rather violent as they were barricaded in the fast food joint by the Malay boys.

But it’s not what I saw that is making me feel bothered but rather, it is what I heard. I keep on replaying it over and over in my head and it makes me extremely embarassed and disgusted. It’s just so disgusting that I feel like spitting.

“Hey Jew, motherfucking pussy! You think I’m scared?”

“You muslim? No, you’re a Jew!”

“Are u Islam man? Then come here!”

I can’t believe these words came out of a Malay’s mouth. And you kiss your mother with that mouth? How f-ing racist is that? A Jew? Calling someone a Jew like that? I’m just aghast! I am literally unable to string a sentence together to describe how I feel about this! What did your parents teach you man?

And bringing in Muslim & Islam into the fight? What the hell? These boys don’t know the first thing about being a Muslim! How long is it since the last time you saw the insides of a mosque? Kamu atu barigali sembahyang pun inda! If ever I wonder why there’s so much hostility surrounding Islam then I believe I’ve just found the reason. It’s people like these! I’m not perfect but I would never use Islam’s name like that!

A few moments later I saw those Middle-Eastern-ish looking boys heading for the police station just 3 minutes away with his red cuts and throbbing bruises escorted by a giant-sized friend. If it was not for that giant-sized friend, I doubt the boys would even make it out of the door.

Eeeeh barigali bah! And you know what else bothered me? I am sorry to stereotype. But here it is:

Malay style. If they fight, for sure they will bring a gang, of no less than 15 people, 13 of them not really knowing what’s going on, and pretty much in it for the thrill. And of course, yang kan dibawa kelayie ani gerenti 2-3 orang saja. Of course, bila ramai, iya rasa kuat lah. And more often than not, it has to be done in a public place, because what good is fighting if no one can see? Samsing tah rasa kamu tu. Shit, you won’t last 2 minutes in a real war.

This fight was only 2 minutes away from the police station and the police do not have a clue! I mean seriously, get a clue!

And McDonalds, hello! Families and kids dine there. I mean, don’t even have surveillance cameras.What if your workers are hurt?

I really didn’t want to blog about this at first. It’s really none of my business. But I’m bothered because I am ashamed! I am so ashamed of my fellow Malays. They seem so proud just waltzing in there like they own the world. Saying whatever, doing whatever. Shaddappp! BAIK PULANG KAMU MENANAM PUKUK DI BADAS!!!

Jangantah kan samsing.
