Bukak paper, keluar mcm2 cerita masalah sosial remaja Melayu Islam. Seks bebas lah, clubbing la, arak la, buang anak n bla3...
Apa tindakan kita? Mcm biasa, mengutuk, menghentam "hai, anak sape la ni...x ajar...buruk perangai xleh wat bini..." bla3...
Lepas tu, kite sambung balik tgk TV or whatever.
Pernah x kite terfikir, "kenapa agaknya jadi mcm tu?"
Jarang kot. Yang aku pernah nmpk selalunya, masyarakat konservatif dan kolektivistik mcm kite ni lbh gemar 'go wit the flow' n membenci, menghukum mereka2 yg 'deviant' instead of finding the punca or solutions whatsoever.
Aku prnh dgr org ckp, x elok kutuk or benci something tu lebih2 sgt..sbb 1 hari bnda tu akan dtg blk kt kite...it's true..
Masyarakat kalau nk bg nasihat pun, dorang masih lagi gemar menyampaikan dgn unsur2 sinis mcm 'pandai buat, pandai la tanggung'...mcm ada elemen 'padan muka' di situ tapi disampaikan dlm nada yg berlapik lah...konon mcm dorg sdri xkn buat bnda2 mcm tu, konon.
To me, cara plg elok nk btolkan dgn budak2' sosial' ni (if u want), is not by giving a ceramah yg sejibik mcm dlm ceramah2 kt skolah2 or radio n remind them with balasan neraka... we hv to be close to them, understand them n talk their language...yes, talk their language....slow2 dlu, bg reasoning yg logical, instead of 'spritual', then mst punya lah akan masuk jarum...it's all about communication n persuasion, baby...heh..tu pn nk ajar ka? Speak their language n buat dgn cara berhikmah..heh,..Nabi dlu pn xde nk dok smpaikan ajaran die kt org2 kafir dgn cara extreme...
Golongan yg lbh senior yg x membesar dlm era MTV, AF, YouTube, swearing...ah, mcm2 lagi la..mmg la xkn phm peel budak2 skrg...tp yg phm tu, aku salute! Hey, life is tough now even for a 11-year-old, no doubt about it.
Anyways, buat golongan muda mcm u ol ni, sila dalami persoalan retorik aku tu dlm2....'why'? Alah, xkn korg2 dlu2 xpnah ade rase 'curious' dlm diri? Nak2 zmn remaja dlu? Or, maybe zmn2 korg jauh dr family n ade total ultimate freedom utk buat ape saje yg korg nk?
Look, aku kt cni bkn la nk suruh u ol yg baik2 ni go against the rule of our religion n culture (though I prefer religion than culture) just to get what u want. U wanna have sex with ur partner in ur bedroom? U wanna smoke pot / ciggie etc? U wanna dress sexily n hit the clubs with ur girlfriends? Go ahead, but remember, we're Muslims and Malays (translation : Kalau nak kene halau rumah or kene pelangkung makbapak, buat lah)
Do u get me? Yes, we HAVE to abstain from all those wrongdoings cos we're Muslims and Malays. But, as far as nature goes, human being, specifically teenagers, no, hormone-laden teens n youths, have a thing called 'CURIOSITY' in them. They WANT to do things that r forbidden to them.
Don't lie to me, tudung-ed girls that I know of, paling kuat desire 'nakal' dorang ialah to dress sexily n look 'nice', baru lah moden n up-to-dateyo...tp xleh, makbapak mrh kang.. (well, me included, heh to tu dlu la)....hey, if u got it, flaunt it kan? I mean, it's natural... tgk lah trend2 skrg...1 malaysia kan.. the media, peer pressure...n kata2 org (pkai tdg tp buat maksiat) lah yg membuatkan mereka2 lagi mahu turutkan kemahuan ini bukan?
SO yeah, every teenage girl DO dream of it, muslim girls included...to look desirable, young n up to date...
Lagi 1, about wanting to have a bf.. mcm aku time zmn2 masuk matrik dlu, bru nk ade bf kot.. tu pn sbb tgk org keliling ade bf mcm best je...so aku pn go wit the flow la jgk...see it's all abt peer pressure..
Ckp psl hal cintan cintun ni, kte move on to kes2 buang anak.... pernah x kite selami budak2 ni as to y dorg nk wat bnda2 terkutuk tu? Yg kite cume tau ckp 'ei,, bodo punya pempuan! habih la keturunan die...da xde dara tu, xde sape laki yg nak'..n bla3...as usual...
Girls usually give 'it' to the guy they want because of love.. L.O.V.E..but the problem is, guy will then turn up to be a real dick by saying that that girl's being a slut cos gave 'it' b4 her marriage...eventhough, yes, usually the guys r the one who ASKED for it. Worse, kes2 buang anak ni, pernah x kte tgk muke si lelaki tu dipampang kt paper? Knp mst muke gurls tu je yg berslh? Look, mmg lah gurl tu "dungu" sbb "x fikir sblm buat", tapi... tp antara gurl n boy, sape yg ade 9 akal? Sape yg sepatutnya bimbing kaum yg lemah? Sape? Btol lah...dah la lelaki makin pupus skrg, yg ada pun stok2 yg x berkualiti.. *geram*...mmg dunia nk kiamat..
Knp yg lelaki cpat benar nk lpas tanggungjawab n run away when the girl's already being knocked up? Kate nk sehidup semati...sehidup semati my ass... Die sdri pn berdosa skali, so..share la dosa ngn ur gf! Pernah x kite tgk kes buang anak kt Western countries? Bru2 ni aku de terdgr sorg white boy ckp 'hey, If my girl is pregnant with my kid, I'd man up and take responsibility of her'...now that's music to the ear.. Knp agaknye Malay culture yg sgt2 "cultured" boleh jd lg binatang dr Western cultures yg sememangnye bkn nye ade culture pon?
*sigh*
I don't know, not that I'm trying to act all saintly here, believe me, I myself am not excepted from having sinned myself. But it's just that, whenever I see these girls, Malay girls, who live a very social life, even drank liquor, had premarital sex, had their babies, or even aborted them to hide their 'shame', I pity them, I don't go haywire with 'murtad! murtad!' with them, I just...it's sort of like, I understand why they act that way.. I even befriended some of them and turn out, slalunye girls mcm dorg nila yg lbh honest dr girls2 yg bertdg mcm aku nih..but then, bkn la nk ckp sal tdg...tp aku tau...dorg mcm tu sbb they're confident ppl...they know what they want in life n persistent about it...and they're daredevils n risktakers...that's y...but not that I'm encouraging us Malay girls to go freehair and have a social life, just that, come on, there are more to these girls than what they look like outside..and honesty...now that's what I love in girls...I really2 hate hypocrite girls and girls who talk behind their friends' back..n usually these types of girls r the ones yg ade konon 'good girl image'..lg2 yg bertdg labuh...suke act as if they know better than everyone else..
*sigh*
Yes, it's the damned Westerns who have screwed up our Malay Muslim generation, everyone says that...we have soooo many bad influence from TV, radio etc. But hasn't it occured to u that, hey, we Malays are equally becoming social deviants, sometimes even worse than the Westerns themselves? (read : Mangga magazines, Akademi Fantasia, Melodi, urgh..bla3..)
So who's at fault? Is it the teens / youths alone? Yes, we do admit sometimes they come from good families, good parents, even religious parents...and we question our surprise , why is it happening so and so...
Hasn't it ever occured to you, that the more you restrict ppl from doing a certain thing, the more that thing becomes more interesting and intriguing to them? (lagi dilarang, lagi nak dibuat?)
Pernah x korang rase, zmn kecik2 dlu, bile korang nak pegi main kt satu tempat n mak korg larang jgn pegi tmpt tu....korg mst ade lg rase nk pegi kn? Walaupun dilarang...cube kalau reverse psychology, rse2nye korg pn give up n mls nk pegi...
And, knp agak2 masalah sosial byk berlaku kt Malays? Ape jadi kt Chinese and Indians? Kite tgk, selalunye Chinese and Indians la yg lg rajin study mudy, berjaya n dpt kerja bgus2? We? Sibuk dgn hal2 rumahtangga artis n gosip dgn jiran sblh... Urgh~
One more factor la...there ARE certain kids who just resent and TIRED of being 'nice', or pertaining a 'good girl / boy image'....it's no surprise to me when these news about 'eh, xsangke budak tu buat keje2 tu...bla3..' arises, bcos u know what, sometimes these ppl tend to be either gullible, or pressured by peers to do certain2 'bad' things, or just plain 'daring' to change who they are just for the sake of....wait for it...ATTENTION... tapi mslhnye once they try to act all deviant, ppl will judge them juz for that ONE thing they screwed up..
*sigh*
So my conclusion is, dear Malay society, friends, parents of friends, older people, please be understanding and listen to us new generation Malay kids more. .It doesn't hurt to listen, or at least please please please explain to us why we can't do certain2 things...we're very curious ppl and will only take logical explanation to not do what we want to do..and fellow friends, kalau korg nmpk kwn korg tu skema rama ke ape, tlg lah...xpyh la pressure them to be all 'bad'...they'll come out of their shell when they want to..don't go all screwing them and when they do, u'll ditch them.
Ass.
