You see, Malays believe in this quote "cakap berlapit".
According to my observations Malays who practice this quote don't really get the real meaning of it. "Cakap berlapit" simply means using better words to express any dissatisfactions regarding any issues. But the way the people use it is more to being cynical rather than being completely honest about it.
Let me give you an example yeah :
A boy who thinks he's too good for the world had the nerve to write about a girl who is wearing a hijjab but with leggings (this attire is considered inappropriate in the eyes of the malays who are muslims). To make matters worse, this particular person wrote it on FB. Yeah. Kurang berani rupanya hamba Allah ni.
Boy's status : Cantik seluar. Tapi lebih baik kau tak payah pakai apa2. (it's something similar to this but he put it in a meaner way)
If this is your way of berdakwah by all means throw it in the bin and shut up. If you see it, tell it straight to the girl. Nicely. By saying "lebih baik kau tak payah pakai apa2", who the hell do you think you are? Then have everyone liking his status to rank the popularity of his status.
Now my dear readers do you see what I mean?
I swear to God these people are deadly cynical on facebook. Giving out statuses like "Gelak macam pontianak" -.- "gediknya perempuan. Lelaki mesti suka". "Speaking sentiasa. Wow Si Melayu celup" yeah, something like this. You know I prefer you tell it straight to their faces.
Just stop being so jealous of other people's happiness. Malays especially -.- Rezeki kita ada di mana-mana. Sendiri perlu cari bukan rebut orang lain punya. Work harder if you want to achieve something. If you lack of anything that makes you feel really small for example not knowing how to speak English. Then you should start learning English. Don't bring others down to your low level. If you think you are not as pretty as others, who cares just be yourself. Everyone is beautiful in their own way. You don't have to be mean to those who you think are prettier than you. Then that would make your inside as ugly as your outside. True, no? :) Be nice and be yourself, simple. Others will love you as you are.
I have been told off once or twice. It didn't hurt me. In fact, I took it really well. Why? Because it was put it an orderly way using the most suitable words that I completely understood. There is no need to be all mean and cynical. You'll only hurt your own friends. I'd usually straight away delete or unsubscribe people who give out annoying statuses. I don't like negativity around me. I tend to avoid all these ngumpatan and crapping shits about other people on fb. It's a waste of time even for a glance.
Moral of this post:
Go straight to the point. Don't twist and turn your words to aim others. Karma will twist and turn to your way.
"Cynical realism is the intelligent man's best excuse for doing nothing in an intolerable situation."
Nobody's perfect, Yeah. I have my own imperfections too. So in the future, tell me off nicely :) If you have any dissatisfactions, dont keep it. Express it using appropriate words.
