The reservations some quarters have against the notion of Malay male is some kind of retribution to the paradox of ultra-conservatism, of backwardness, of sexual fetishism and of oppression that engulf these group which many for years have learnt to both love and loathe with the latter now taking center stage in light of current events involving the upholding of moral values and stability of family ties.
Despite these, I for one have not stopped to confess on every road traveled that I'm a Malay through and through, that I am unashamed of being labeled as a serial rapist and incestuous and a wife-beater, for i am very well aware that all these demonizing are retributions of part jealousy part envy by the same quarters for their lacking of their own self identity they thought ought to do them any proud.
Once a good species is now no longer, pronounced some Western-educated, Oprah-motivated feminists of the fairer skin who actually failed to garner the attention of the best of the jewels this near extinct group has to offer (:)). Yet harping on the prejudices and some loophole faults mongered by luck-ridden individuals are ways to mend their broken hearts while the efforts are far from noble, it is destructive for that not all men in this world are born free of shortcomings;and when they claim that they are, one ought to doubt the genuineness of their man-ness.
A threat to human survival is when men can no longer act the way men are supposed to act, when decisions in life are finalized by emotions rather than thoughtful rationals, and when balls are handed over on a silver platter. A greater threat to human existence is when governing is by ideals, not by realism and practicality, which have governed us all for millenniums, and which have ensured us all our survivals from generations to generations.
I am proud to have been born and grown up as a Malay male, for in that I have been warned and taught of the dangers of "dayus" (male subservience) that many men of other descendants have to live with everyday, and the complexities they have to face handling this new age of human extinction unheard of by our forebears in the golden years of human civilizations.
I fear that with the demonizing now raucous and infectious , a species which follows the good old ways of living this life albeit all its discrepancies will vanish from the face of Earth, leaving those with tamed hearts and leashed balls ruling this world with their offspring of the same tamed hearts and leashed balls, unable to pay its due to the once great Shahs of the world, who happened to have tied their balls closely in their crotch (otherwise you and I would not have seen the light of day).
This is maybe a bit chauvinistic, but being a Malay male...this is exactly what we are...and for that, one ought to be grateful...
