Assalamualaikum
*Actually this is an old draft that I forgot to post, so there might be a mix sentences that vulnerable to read hahahaha*
Bapa selalu cerita, segelintir (baca: tidak semua) orang Malaya adalah sangat rasis. Sebab itu DS Najib adakan kempen 1Malaysia, untuk memupuk semangat perpaduan dalam kalangan masyarakat Malaya. Sebab apa perlu pupuk perpaduan mereka? Sebab mereka tidak bersatu padu. Takkanlah PM adakan satu dasar secara suka-suka tanpa tujuan.
Mula-mula aku pun tidak percaya. I was born with an open minded family, and they taught us to appreciate people without emphasizing their background. Jadi pada awal laungan dasar 1 Malaysia diketengahkan, bagi kami dasar ini tidak ada maknanya bagi kami sememangnya tanpa dasar 1 Malaysia pun, orang Sabah dan Sarawak sudah lama '1 Malaysia'.
Tahun 2015 adalah tahun pertama aku menyambung pelajaran ke semenanjung malaysia, dan itu adalah kali kedua aku jejak semenanjung malaysia.
Dipanjangkan cerita, sewaktu semester 1 di tahun pertama, aku mengikut kawanku yang ketika itu ingin menguruskan hal bank di bsn. Oleh kerana baru mengenali tempat tu, jadi aku mengambil inisiatif untuk hanya bertanya pada seorang pakcik penjaja di tepi jalan, bertanyakan tentang jalan hendak ke bsn terdekat.
Pakcik tersebut bersungguh sungguh menunjukkan tempat dengan mengarahkan saya pergi ke tiang bendera. Selepas mengucapkan terima kasih, saya dan kawan terus pergi ke tempat yamg dimaksudkan/diarahkan sebentar tadi.
Setelah sampai, tidak ada apa di sana selain tiang bendera. Dari jauh saya lihat pakcik tersebut melihat saya dan kawan sambil ketawa. Sel-sel otak pun mula berhubung dan saya menyedari bahawa saya dan kawan tadi kena 'kencing'. Sangat geram selepas tahu yang saya dan kawan telah diperbodohkan oleh pakcik penjaja itu.
Sebenarnya cawangan BSN yang kami cari sebenarnya sudah berpindah lokasi, bukan lagi di kawasan itu, tetapi pakcik tersebut cuba mempermainkan kami dengan menyuruh kami pergi ke tiang bendera, berniat hendak memperli saya yang berasal dari Sabah (kebanyakan orang Malaya yang buta sejarah atau sengaja membutakan diri dengan menganggap Sabah dari Indonesia, bukanlah sebahagian daripada Malaysia) yang ketika itu masih pekat berdialek Sabah.
It was a starting point of me become aware that 1 Malaysia slogan is quite important for them because they are super racist.
In my place, there were never an issue exist regarding religion, because everyone knew their right in having and practising religion, or even if you don't have religion. You can say that Sabahan's Muslim are ignorance (for not spreading dakwah), but we all knew our responsible in dakwah, we realize that people are attracted with your attitude, not the practice you showed. There are Muslims who have bad attitude but kept bragging to Islamizing people. Not wrong, but I think its funny since seems like you don't have any measure marks on yourself.
Dakwah is not all about the hadith, not all about sunnah. Showing a good attitude is one of the way to dakwah too and the easiest way to dakwah them is by showing the good attitude, be a decent man and have a moral to others. We don't need other things, actually. The 'things' like hadith, sifat-sifat Allah and so on is just the other steps. Don' t get me wrong, I didn't that those are not practicable, but it is just a matter of time. We don't eat when pooping in the toilet, right? It is all about sequences. It takes time for people to accept.
So back to the case I told, it is really iritating me, I just couldn't do anything and hope that these kind of people will gone immediately. They don't deserved to live on the earth. We share the same earth, but you want to own it, act like it is yours. We don't need these kind of people. However, I also pray that these 3rd class mindset will not passimg through your family. It is so embarassing. Not a good gene to be brought though.
Let's make this world as good place to live. Yes, we can't change the world, but we can change ourself. Our attitude resembles our family, our family resembles the society, and our society resembles the country.
However, I do believe that those kind of people are just a few, Allah makes me meet them to remind me that life is not always in a smooth sail. There is a time, we were fucked up with things that we have started. I am glad and feel so thankful that I still have supportive friends in my class. They never say hurtful things about me. As I said before, not all people we met are bad, only a few.
So be good and don' t be racist. It doesn' t make you feel superior. Never.
