MELAYU KU, JANGAN CEPAT MELATAH...!!!

'I don't want to die without scars' (Tyler Durden)

Just now while I was looking for inspirational quotes, I come across Tyler Durden's brilliant cue. I was guessing and playing with the meaning from various perspectives. I’d also try to define the quote with Malay direct translation,

'I don't want to die without scars'. = 'Saya tidak mahu mati tanpa luka / calar'.

Yeah it’s the figurative meaning and rationally make sense. This thought had rhyme myself about the issue of misunderstood. U are given a new knowledge / situation, but you don’t have in-depth knowledge about it. Instead of asking other people & learn it, you feel so egoistic to interpret it ur own way and misunderstood. This is common attitude of our Malay and we should prove our worthy.

The literal meaning of Tyler Durden's quote is (from my personal & limited knowledge) :

A person should not go through a wasted life, doing formatted thing like robot & become kiasu (looser) . Instead, the person should explore knowledge and gain new thing as farthest as possible (scar symbolize experience), to increase self actualization & pride. In Malay words, it is something simillar with...

'...Kekalahan itu boleh dibanggakan, jika anda kalah dengan cara yang bermaruah...'

This issue refresh my memory about our local actress, Sharifah Amani misquote during a prestigious award ceremony. Amani said "I sound silly / stupid when I speak in Malay". She received serious complaints from many people through media. For me, she is both innocent & guilty. Innocent because what she really meant was "she sounds funny talking in Malay (because she uses English in daily life)" and not prepared to use Malay language spontaneously to converse with the partner host. (Anyway, prestigious award were attended by quite educated people & well-verse in English double meaning. I supposed those offended people understand Amani's intention or irrationally sensitive?)

Guilty because she sounds harsh. It would be better if during that time, she explain in good manner explaining to everybody that she's not good in Malay or other acceptable excuses.

To all fellow readers, some of 'our people' have typical and prejudice mind on new things. From ideology, culture, to language and ridiculous issue. The recent incident of 'The usage of Allah name by the Christian' had erupted most of moslem temper. We call ourselves an educated people, but yet-at some parts we react in uncivilized manners. to the extent of throwing arsons to the church. But a peaceful and unity anthem of Malaysia remind us to gain mutual understanding rite? So, why not discuss and have a diplomatic agreement? The September 11 issue & other global Islamic issue had already tarnished our religion great reputation. Thus, don't make it clear that we are terrorist indeed.

Some of our moslem people said they practice the true Islam lifestyle, to the extent of throwing arson to church is label as jihad. Oh dear, have they forgotten the basic sabda of our great prophet Muhammad PBUH which reminds, when a moslem is in jihad (war/battle to protect Islam), they can fight, conquers land & seize the property - but strictly do not harm the any child, women & old/weak people; do not demolish their religious sacred place. Those are factual, so don't become extremist only to serve personal egoistic & destroy the good name of Islam. We are perceived negatively by the international investor & speculator. I'm not on either side; it could be misunderstanding so make a rational/ professional resolution.

Hence, If Che’ Det had the phrase ‘Melayu Mudah Lupa’, myself as humble & unknown person would like to emphasize ‘Melayu ku, Jangan Cepat Melatah...!’

p.s>> my fren add up "sanggup mati esok (dengan cara bermaruah), lbh baik daripada hidup lama (umur panjang) tp jd insan yg dihina oleh masyarakat & dilaknat Tuhan".

Panas statement tu...awas ye..!!!
