I love Malaysia just because of 1 simple yet silly reason;
I am able to wear short pants without getting dirty flirt from random strangers
Unlike in Indonesia
It is hard to wear short pants without getting whistle from strangers
Suit suit... amoy amoyyyyy!
Yes that is the most common line you can easily hear if you see a lady wear short pants
My relationship with Malaysia went quite well until..
I went through a deepest darkest night
when the first time in my life
my handbag was snatched by unknown thief
However, this is not the point that made me sad and disappointed the most
Despite I have lost quite large amount of money and ATM cards
I have figured out an extremely bitter reality in life
Here goes the 'exciting' part..
I went to police station and made a report
First thing they asked is not are you okay? What is your name? When was the incident happen?
But the asked,
You cina keh? (Are you Chinese?)
at that time I was so tired and I just nodded my head
In the end, they not allowed me to make a police report because I did not bring my passport
I never knew how smart the polices nowadays.
Can you imagine if I bring along my passport? It will gone together with my handbag and what is the point?
It just a big OH GOSH *face palm* for me
So, the next day which is today I went to another police station bring along my passport
Life is getting more interesting when the first question came out from a female police mouth was
You cina keh? (Are you Chinese?)
Honestly speaking, I opened my mouth around 3 seconds and wondering if it is appropriate to ask race matter when something terrible happened to victims.
So now I am getting smarter (I guess)
I replied,
No, I am an Indonesian
Seems not satisfied with my answer, she said,
Ya, Chinese Indon kan?
I gave her another face palm and said,
Half- half la miss
(hoping she can gave a wild guess that I am half Chinese half Korean haha!)
She reassured herself by saying,
Ya la, you Chinese
I was -.-
What a pathetic live when people put high attention in racial matters
I just do not get it until now
What's wrong being Chinese?
What's the point of having the culture of 1Malaysia then?
I never proud of being Chinese
And I never have the intention of not helping people who are different race with me
different race is not a good excuse of not helping others
We are humans afterall
When we die
whether our bodies will be buried or burnt
Don't you think that in the end, skin color does not matter anymore?
Readers,
What I want to tell in my piece of writings is not to blame anyone
Please pay respect to people regardless their races, religions and ethnics
If you not start from now,
then who else will?
Remember, everything starts from yourself in order to make the world a better place to live.
