Don't let words bring you down.

Watched The Help today.
About the Whites and Non-whites.
Quite an inspiring movie.

"What do you feel that you're looking after a white child and you leave your child back there for others to take care?", a black woman was interviewed by a journalist.

It is the same as the Indonesian maids coming over to Malaysia to work.
They leave their children back in Indon and come over to work and take care of Malaysian babies.
Sad case, seriously.
Just because their economy is not able to feed every citizen.


There is a book about it too if I am not mistaken.
But anyway, sometimes there are quite a number of racism issues in Malaysia too which is quite saddening.
The 1Malaysia slogan sometimes mean nothing to some people.
Foreigners that come over to Malaysia to work are sometimes looked down at which is quite saddening too.
And I've witnessed it myself and even blogged about it, an incidence which happened not too long ago.
This is the post.

Not only to foreigners, some racist people in Malaysia just don't understand the meaning of HUMAN BEING.
Just because they are fair, they look down on darker skin people.
In reality, people like to look down on other people!
We all have 2 eyes, 2 ears and 1 mouth!
Why can't everyone be equal?
You know why?
Cause some people are protected.
It is like back in the olden days, the Whites are protected by the government.
The law protects them.

So, that is why even in Malaysia, not everyone is equal.
Well, it doesn't matter anyway.
God treat everyone of us equally.
You do bad, you get bad.
You do good, you get good.
Maybe you go bad now and you don't get bad now. Maybe in the future your children or grandchildren will suffer.
So, BE GOOD!
Santa and everyone else is watching! :P

I know this movie! Have you read the book? It's much more powerful.

Anyway, I love the point you brought up about Indon maids coming over to take care of Malaysian babies. I watched the movie and read the book and still failed to realise that a similar thing is happening right in front of me. Guess this is what happens when you're brought up too sheltered. This is really a good thought-provoking post :)

Aww, thanks! :)
I haven't read the book though.
Saw it at Popular bookstore today but it is kind of costly :(

Books in Malaysia are expensive which is bad cause they follow oversea pricing. In the UK, you can buy second hand books for RM15-RM20. And the condition is still pretty good. If you can buy The Help discounted, do buy it. I promise you, it will be one of your best reads.
