M&M - Melayu & Masalah

Thursday, February 22nd, 2007

Why do we always hear complaints about government services? Why are most government workers lazy and hopeless in comparison to private ones? And why do the local workers often don’t get their work done?

I believe the answer is we Malays are cursed with the “lazy” or “take for granted” trait. I mean, crawl out from your narrow-mindedness and for once think on an open field before you start accusing me of being a racist against my own kind, how do you expect things to go well when workers aren’t serious about their jobs, always busy being in love going “Abang, saya lapar laaaaaaaa” in the office? The government is trying so bloody hard helping the Malays, stripping equal rights from the Chinese and Indians, but what do we give back in return? Lousy services and typical attitude that should be shoved away a long time ago. Bagi office cantik la, bumiputera discounts la what shit la, and we’re still lazing away. After several visits to two Government offices then and now, I’ve noticed extremely minimal change. Most officers are sitting on their office chairs, sipping coffee, gossiping about office mates or lame local celebrities and displaying embarrassing “gedik” attitude between sexes. Please la. “Abang, saya lapar la awak…jom la makan. Awak belanja!”. What the fuck man? You’re supposed to be working! Not wandering around making yourself cheap!

And the part I can’t accept is we can’t learn to be moderate – and this applies to all Malaysians. It’s either you’re too passé and narrow-minded or you’re too open, closing in to being wild.

Satu jenis tu tak nak berubah. They see changing as being obscene and having an open mind a lie. So they stick to their usuals – don’t speak English, duduk dekat rumah umpat pasal orang & bergaul dengan jenis dia saja.

Lagi satu tu over gila nak berubah. They change too much to prove to everyone they’re cool and have their minds too open that they forget to reserve some shame. So they manifest a new stereotype – speak too much English sampai cakap bahasa sendiri pun tersangkut-sangkut, keluar malam clubbing sampai Subuh habis & bergaul suka hati sampai hilang dara cara haram pun takpa. Religion is obsolete in this case.

Ok, back to the lazy government officers case. One piece of advice to you lazy bums: If you want to have fun instead of doing your job, retire, find yourself a pimp and do what you’re good at. Don’t strip off people from their rights then take it for granted. Sebab ko Melayu, jadi ko tak heran dapat kerja senang gila dengan kerajaan. Blah la. Nanti akhirat Tuhan tanya kau buat apa kerja kat dunia, kau nak jawab apa? “Oh, biasa la. Deskmate saya pakwe saya. Hari-hari kita menggedik bersama-sama kat ofis minum kopi, umpat orang pastu tak masukkan yuran biasiswa untuk pelajar”. It’s easy for you to say and do, having fun at the office while we’re down here worrying and scratching the scabies off our asses. Damn, you people are so selfish! You know, it’s a good thing I’m not the Prime Minister or something. Because if I was, I’d give equal rights to all races in Malaysia and wouldn’t give a fuck’s shit if you complain because I know you don’t deserve it. To hell with Bumiputera privileges. Oh, bila bab promote “Visit Malaysia”, bukan main lagi, “Kita negara berbilang kaum dengan warga Melayu, Cina, India dan bumiputera hidup dengan harmoni dan sentosa”. Tapi bila bab kerja, hak asasi, ekonomi, “Oh, Melayu dan bumiputera sahaja layak mendapat keuntungan ekstra”…“Oh, setiap syarikat besar mesti memenuhi kuota wajib pekerja bumiputera!”…and the list goes on.

Just one question, kita ni multi-racial country ke multi-racist country?

I understand what the government is trying to do – helping the locals to stand on their feet and I respect their noble intention but what we’re giving back, I can’t accept. So if you local workers can’t change for the better, I suggest you kill yourself and give those privileges and chances to other deserving people. If the Chinese and Indians can make it without extravagant help from the government despite being the minority in this country, why can’t we, the majority and the most helped-by by the government?

It’s time for us to open our minds and look through a wider scope. Jangan buat sambil lewa, berangan kahwin mat salleh pastu malam buat pesta dengan Mat Rempit. Use your privileges right or be doomed as a non-functional race.
