Melayu Boleh

June 13th, 2009

Lately we have seen a lot of a bad things happening to the Malay community. A criminal case which we never see before are now appearing almost everyday on the television. A murder, rape, illegal race and so on seem to be a normal thing that we watch and heard on newspapers or television.  Ironically, most of the case is involving the race that 100% is following islamic region which is Melayu. It is not a question about Islamic religion and islam never taught them to be a bad person. It is about the Melayu itself. Why melayu now boleh do a lot of thing that against with the islamic principles? Boleh Melayu thing a minute about what they have done?

Does it because of the our education background? Yup, it could be one of the factor contribute to this situation. We have to understand that not all Malay community has received the same level of education. Some of them might drop out from the school when the fail in PMR, SPM. This actually exposing them to the real world situation where they start involve with a group of people who are already being influence to do a bad thing. There is other factor that can influence Malay to do a good thing, other than their own motivation. If they have a good motivation level, i am sure that they are not going to involve themselves with a gangsters activity such as illegal race and socialize with others.

We should also blame the parents who are struggling to look for money until they less attention to their children. The spirit of Melayu Boleh must be taught by the parents to their children. This is very important so that the children are aware on what are the area that they can focus in. The story about the successful malay personal and their contribution to the country must be taught to their kids. With this kind of attitude, the children will at least aware that they have the responsibility to improve the malay community.

The word of Melayu Boleh should not be use to represent something that negative that could give a bad implications to the Malay community. There is no other people will protect and defence Malay community other than themselves. Malay community must aware that they have to improve themselves with the advance knowledge and technology in order to survive in this kind of era.

Looking at the history, it is proven that a lot of malay community has been given a high place by others races such us our legend, Hang Tuah. No doubt, the existence of Hang Tuah can be debated, however, the most important value of the Hang tuah, is the spirit of Melayu Boleh that he has. He will never turn down his own race/
