WHERE DO WE STAND ???

For those who read my blog........ Pls feel free to contribute some of your time to think abt this ? I cannot have the answers that i myself imposed and so is my husband ??? I hope you guys out there do give your serious opinion on this topic ...... coz it is really a sad thing especially it involves us the 'MALAYS' ( I am not going to be blocked, am i ?) K but seriously do think abt it ?

It happened today on a Monday morning.... after sending my parents to Woodlands. Both uf us, my husband and i in the car was thinking wat should we have for breakfast? Everyday same old shit ??? McDonald, BK , Nasi Lemak, Lontong, Prata , you name it ? We have it all... I remembered tht my darling loves to eat noodles like mee rebus, mee siam etc. SO VERY THE MALAY !!!

So we decided to drive back to Tampines and go get our breakfast at Tampines Century Square. So early mana ade kedai bukak ? Esp. it is served in a shopping restaurant, where business only starts at 11 am. It is a new joint run by CHINESE called QI JI ever featured in TGIF, i think ? They served exactly like the YA KUN KAYA cafe... famous for the Popiah Basah. Thank god kedai bukak... bolek cekik!

Me, ordered typical nasi lemak ( sambal sucks, taste bachin) , hubby settled for soon kueh and the popiah. The noodles not ready only at 8.30 am. Imagined how early we were? While we were trying to enjoy the breakfast ....biasalah mata ni merayap je. Looking at menu, the ppl, signboard, the staff, their uniforms etc... in fact ade je yg we comment. Not a personal attack but just mainly general topics. One of the topics was abt the menu????? It's abt less than 15 different type of food served there , not including the drinks and of coz the normal kopitiam breakfast toast bread and half boil egg.

Based on our experienced in the past, how come they( the non malays) can do it with not many varieties of food and we Malays can't? In fact, they are located in a shopping centre where rentals are high? Human traffic in the morning very bad. But still o.k lah . One nasi lemak cost $3.50, 1 small soon kueh cost $1.00 and still there are some who patronise. We spent $10 on a breakfast for 2.... like Mc Donald meals. We sat for abt an hour there. Sambil tu tengok org lah ! In ...Out .... yg makan, yg ta pau... to our surprise those ppl who went in are the Malays. The makcik makcik who were abt to go to work or some even after habis their morning exercise. Dah senam cekik banyak2. What a waste ?? ( Michellin Tyres)

Once it is ever published in the papers Berita Harian ( cannot remember) , ever heard of gossips from friends and those makcik kat pasar... they say do not go to food courts located at shopping malls !!! These joints do not have any halal certs... They are only making use of the Malays who wear tudungs to sell and serve food to the malays. Knowing the Malays will be easily deceived by the appearance. " Ade makcik pakai tudung, can eat - can eat!" So si bodoh ni just makan only lah!!!! Yg si penjual ni pulak paid to serve, knowing the food are prepared by the chinese and tak HALAL ?

So being myself i asked my beloved husband, " B! Can you look at the halal certs ? Can you look at the food handlers ? " and he said ya and why?

QUESTIONS to all .....................

WHY ARE WE THE MALAYS MAKING SUCH A BIG FUSS OVER A HALAL CERT BUT FAILED TO REALISE THAT THE FOOD HANDLERS ARE ALL CHINESE ?

WE ARE FORBIDDEN TO EAT PORKS AND HV TO CLEANSE OURSELVES WITH CLAY IF WE TOUCH DOGS?

HOW DO YOU KNOW THT THE FOOD HANDLERS DO NOT EAT PORK AND HAVE DOGS AS THEIR PET... DO YOU KNOW WHETHER THEY 'SERTU' WITH CLAY EVERYDAY BEFORE THEY GO TO WORK , BEFORE THEY TOUCH THE FOOD THT WE EAT ?

So where are we ? What are we?

I let this matter rest for now. Got to go orchard to meet my darling and see Christmas lights .....He he .... Don't forget to drop in your comments and hopefully somewhat or rather it makes you think for a while?

Malays will always be Malays.....
