Seems like the Hollywood had conclude that 'all Muslim should be known as terrorists' after the 11/9 incident including my dad. My mom and dad once arrested during their trip to Germany, suspected as terrorists just because my dad's first name is Mohamad. Ridiculous isn't it? But then, it is a fact. But now I woud like to discuss more about stereotypes in Malaysia. Stereotypes are just like a kind of microchip that exists in human's head. It will conquer the human's perception according to their norm and believe. In Malaysia for example, we assume that all Malays are lazy and Chinese are business-minded but not all Malays are lazy and not only Chinese can handle business well. It is just a kind of stereotype. Furthermore, our community nowadays, create a lot of stereotype names such as, Mat Rempit (known for the streets kids that ride motorcycle and do the excessive stunts), Budak Pavi (known for the youngsters that hang out around Pavillion Kuala Lumpur with a DSLR hanging on their neck), and etc. What a creative community we have. This stereo-type-ism thing makes our country to be more unique and it implement some kind of essence to our culture. When it comes to food, Nasi Lemak is for Malay, Bak Kut Teh is for Chinese and Roti Canai is for Indian. Eventhough it looks slightly like close-minded perception, but it brings the unique identity to our country, Malaysia. So this is my perception, my stereo-type-ism and what's yours?
