Loose The Pirah

I was in London a few weeks ago to visit a friend. Me, having a holiday in London is not the whole point of the story. This is about something that we might not have realise that we are doing it. Some sort of unconcious act kind of thing.

While I was there, I find that melayu will always be melayu. Well you, don't have to brag about either you have studied or even worked in London. I'm not saying that my friend is being arrogant about he's being employed in the english land. No, he is perfectly normal, as he was before he left Malaysia 3 years ago.

I see people, as in Malaysian Malays (those who were born and raised in Malaysia), around 10-20% of them, in London particularly, opted not to speak proper Malay (bahasa melayu dengan banyak english accent) and find that eating with hand is disgusting. One word from me : PIRAHHHHH!!! I feel like vomitting. Takkan baru duduk England 4-5 tahun dah terus tak reti cakap melayu?! Kelakar lah korang ni. Gila short term memory.

Come on! Before you people left Malaysia, each of you spent at least good 17 years living in pure Malaysian culture. Consuming belacan, budu, cencalok, karipap, laksa, lontong, masak lemak, nasi lemak, rendang etc for 17 years! Okla if you dont eat belacan pun kot-kot sebab alergi, you still eat rice kan? No way you don't eat rice, because it's a staple food for we asians. Gile tipu kalau tak makan nasik. Unless-lah your parents is mat saleh. Then it would be a different case.

Anyway, these Malays in the UK, despite adopting this pirah culture, they still eat sambal belacan (chilly mixed with shrimp paste) haha. And when Hari Raya come, nak makan ketupat jugak. Tanak pulak diorang ni makan fish and chips.

So, long story short. Melayu will always be melayu. Period. Don't brag with your 5 years time that you have spent or are going to spend abroad. Kapish. Ikhlas, saya dari kaum yang memakan belacan, budu, cencalok dan yang seangkatan dengannya.
