The Pandemic story

The Pan Epic Story

In Malaysia, after the spread of the pandemic, another version of civilization had occurred. Malaysian have created a peculiar Malaysian lifestyle and it is distinctively differs from other affected countries. Indeed, the aim of civilization is to enable us to get enjoyment out of everything we do. Although the world is in scarcity, in fatality and in a topsy-turvy situation, we, Malaysian had learn to live in simplicity. This regards especially for the upper class society. This pandemic had taught all of us that wealth will not be accompanying us till the graveyard. However, there is still citizen quarreling with their family for their inheritance and influential politicians fighting over position and fame. Most lower class society will watch the political propaganda spread via the press conference telecast in media and TV. The head of their families will be out with a uneasy and stuffy mask to purchase groceries and not forgetting all the SOP rules set by the government. After all chores set by their wives are over, they will still hang out with their equally stubborn friends to speak about the Malaysian politics that they can never sort out. Their children are busy playing games in the name of e-learning via PC while working adults are either still working from home or still attending office. There are even many that lose their job during this period. The jobless teens whom are university graduates or ongoing studies are lazing around at home 24-7 with yelling echoes from Asian parents for being idle, work-shy and good for nothing. I am one of those teens too. When the sun rays struggles to get through those mini holes in my curtains just to strike straight onto my face, I cover my face with my thick colorful patched blanket ,but some how i will lose my sleep because the my vapour heats my face up. Yes, I am a university student and unable to attend campus. So, i take this opportunity to have a longer sleep. But it was never easy as what we think because I was born from a handkerchief sized family that come from a society that set a specific list of credibility for a woman. As soon as I have a warm shower and a cup of hot Milo, i will help my mother in the kitchen to peel onions and I'm also known as 'Assistant Chef' for my mother. After the cooking is over, I will swiftly clean the oily and sticky floor till it is sparkling crystal clear. With all the efforts strained to do the chores, I will be extremely famished. So, I will gobble up the simple ,yet scrumptious lunch dishes. This was how my lockdown days passes just in a snap. This was all basic details, but during the lockdown, there were many misunderstanding and quarreling happened in my family. Those quarrels were common in a family. However, I faced a little different situation because I submitted my final assessment via online and my foundation studies is over which means I'm permanently back to my hometown to pursue my dream. My dream is ambitious not just a little, but a little extra ambitious!!!I have the ability to peel the content of my observation into a beautiful language ,but many people discourages me by criticizing my writings. Those who are educated, claim my writings have many errors with lots of consent, but sometimes it just seem as if they are envy on us because they do not want us to climb up the ladder of success. They use their arrogance to comment on my writings. I am inexperienced and my writings may have several errors, but there is even a beautiful way to imply my errors in a polite manner to me. Those who are less educated, just do not understand what I write. The only fact that keeps me going is that I have no other special talents or skillful in other subjects. At this moment, I am quit proud to say I started to write ever since I was 14 years old. Over the years, those disheartens had became tedious and my ears are deaf now. I lack of interest of surviving ,but I am still firm with my vision. Many teens who are facing this similar circumstances individually too, but they voices are unheard because they are not yelling loud enough instead giving up their passion. The main cause of all this problems especially the reason why our parents from lower class becoming tight-fisted and setting big expectation upon their children to hold settled positions like doctor,engineer and teacher and must be wealthy by 24 years old and find a match who is equally wealthy for their children, children who is under all this pressure lose their focus over education and start their unhealthy lifestyle such as living together, taking drugs and gangster. Some are even worse they become criminals. All this lengthy sentences without full stop is also caused by the society.
The society that chose the government, the society that elect the prime minister, the society that contribute to our economy, the society that pay tax, the society that critics about the differences in religion and race and the society that envious on someone who is contented with their lives. The society which means me, you, our parents, our neighbors and our ancestors. What is more powerful in this society is not those virtues that we learn in Al-quran, Bible or Bhagavad Gita, but the money and fame. Strangely, money have no guaranteed value all time, but almost everyone is closely attached to it including myself. However, I am not greedy to have too much of money in my life. All I want is to make differences in everyone's heart in our society because we are brothers and sisters that are equally knowledgeable and aware of political rivalries that is happening. Have you wondered what will happen when our prime minister or the sultan elope to other country with our tax pay, what will happen to our country? Are we able to make the country in peace and lead it on our own? I have wondered it and I know what is my next move....Nothing much I will just be a follower for the new leader just like others because I am also equally knowledgeable and aware that when I question the truth, I will be criticize and might be sent to sentence. Having all this messy thoughts, I decided to be at least a plucky youth to write the truth in a decent manner because I too have a family.
Throughout the years, several unanticipated events happen around the world which effect us economically, socially and politically. The number of animals dying is keep skyrocketing due to this circumstances. All the unpredicting phenomenon occur to remind all of us that everything in the world is only temporary including relationships, anger and sadness. I personally believe that religion was created to constantly remind us that life is too short to hold grudges onto someone or on a certain issues. We should be open hearted to any ramification that had occurred and, yet to be occurred. Sadly, our society become pious and forget the reason of their existence. Our families had nurtured us by saying ," read and respect the holy book always". When it comes to a life matter problem, they will instantly find a way to solve the problem by giving bribe ,if they are upper class society or ask their children to give up and find a way to survive, instead of saying, " be patience and perseverance. This is the reason why many children got into the wrong path in life and become a criminal. Similarly, my parents are not my strong backbone ,so I am a clueless youth too on how to start off my dream because opportunities are available ,but is not for me!!!!Why??? Race, power and status. It's okay, I had given up on waiting for opportunities ,instead creating one on my own. The purpose of my writing today is to highlight about the where did the culture of humanity vanished over the years?
