I feel so stupid.

Syarifah Amani has shocked the nation by saying she felt so stupid when she speaks in Malay.
The whole Malay society, mostly with anti-English agenda, has gone mad, criticizing Amani, her parents, Yasmin Ahmad, Carmen Electra (eik, why is she in the picture?) and the rest of the world. If they really anti-English, why not blame it on Malay Sultans of the 18th centuries that let the English invade Malaya?

I don’t know whether the angry mobs understand the real meaning of Amani’s stupidity. However, they managed to show their own.

An article in Utusan Malaysia blamed her parents, saying that Malays with high education as Amani’s parents, being the Malay yuppies are proud to use English at home while ignoring Malay language. Are there any sins here? Why Amani’s upbringing should be an issue?

Suddenly using English at home for Malay family has been regarded as ‘melupakan nilai bangsa’ and Malay families that produce children who speak English better than Bahasa Melayu has been condemned as show-off?
Duhhh.. stupid pricks.

Mathematics and Science, for several years, has been taught in English in all schools throughout Malaysia. Unless you want Malay students becoming the majority failing those crucial subjects, you call Amani stupid.
(yes, Malays students are the majority failing both subjects!)

Yet that group yells when the statistics in local universities shows Malay students are minority in the science stream, which require good English command.
And they yell again when Malay personnel are still the minority in the professional field, again, requires good English skills.

Stupid assholes, unless Science and Math are taught in Malay, and using Jawi instead of Rumi in the business world, you don’t critic English speaking Malay.
Our government has change the rule;
Science and Math require good command of English!

Wake up and smell the air. English is now very important for young Malays. Failing Bahasa Melayu has no effect on your SPM anymore. I am not saying lets ignore Bahasa Melayu. I am saying let’s instill more English in our daily conversation at home. Be proud that you are Malay and yet recognize the importance of English language.

Yes Amani might be an asshole for not using Malay in her victory speech, when she did win the award for acting in Filem Melayu, but don’t blame her upbringing or her parents.
Did we blame Lina Joy’s parents for her murtad? I don’t think so!
