I was reading The Star online the other day. There was this little link at the right hand corner that attracts me.
“The Rude Malaysian”
I’m really curious, so I click on the link. Well, it directed me here http://202.186.86.35/mmedia/video/. It contains some videos that attaining the ‘typical’ Malaysian nowadays. I was laughing as I watch the clips. It does reflect the rudeness of the Malaysian.
I remember once, we have this campaign on ‘Proud to be Malaysian’. After watching the clips, I felt embarrassed. I look around if there are any holes for me to hide my face. What is there to be proud to be Malaysian? It’s a Shame to be Malaysian. Being so Rude, Inconsiderate and of course, being Ignorance.
I wonder when we Malaysian will begin to understand the word Considerate, Kind and Helpful. Was it because the educational system that we had, which produce such an end results?
I remember myself taking Moral Subject. Of course, nothing much being taught in that boring subject. We studied for more about 8 years of Moral. What we really did during the studies was that we were given a list of Values and were asked to memorize. That’s how everyone scores for their SPM.
People say, “You get high grades for Moral, which indicates you actually do not have the Moral values.”
How many of the Malaysians exactly have the Moral values? I think we all really need to reconsider a better education system to teach the children on Moral values. I do agree that I’m bought up with a proper Moral education. This explains why I can be so inconsiderate and rude all the time. Hey, I was taught to memorize the values. I wasn’t taught to perform and practice the value.
One clear cut example that we can judge on the Malaysian Moral values, try driving along the Klang Valley for an hour. Observe the car in front, behind and even beside you. You will understand.
