Does the phrase Stupid Malay Men ring a bell?

The newly proposed amendments on the Islamic Family Law was largely disagreed and many were simply against it. Many in number and influence. Marina Mahathir was among them, followed by Nori and Hannis. These VVIP daughters may not have in depth knowledge on Islamic law and jurisprudence but they, at their best, speak out on this issue.

The amendment? To increase the amount of disputed properties of the husband after divorce.

Why? Because Islam says so... Think deeper people.. think in depth of knowledge.
Because men has more responsibility domestically. Because in Islam's jurisprudence, MEN has the responsibilty to take care of their ex-wife and children and by this, it clearly points out that MEN has to carry out their financial duties, divorce or not.

Stupid Malay Men.. From what I've seen and experienced, divorced men does not find this fact reality based. They just don't. Take my father for example: his divorced, remarried and has three kids. According to the Islamic Law, he has to pay for the house rent, our daily supply of food, the car, everything! because he is the leader of the family but up to this point, my mother is potraying superwoman, earning money for the family as well as carrying out her domestic responsibilities.

To put it simply, MOST divorced malay men ignored this fact and manipulated their status as free, single, and more-than happy-to-start-a-new-life men.

And for this fact alone, WOMEN must act diligently and complain. Complain to the Makhamah Shariah. Equal rights? Then have them used effectively. Speak out.

And as far as I am concern, the amendment has to wait until the phrase stupid malay men is once again fictitious.

insyaallah I WONT be one of those men. It's disheartening isn't it? It's unfair. My cousin and some of my malay friends experienced the same thing. It's publisized: Bersamamu highlighted single mothers and hell, Datuk K has an ex-wife that works as a security guard.

Afiq, I love the way you write this entry. Yes I had realised long before that malay men (especially those city folks) tend to take their responsibility lightly. and this results in breaking up of the structural integrity of the family itself.

kids gone awry. relationships between kids and parents fall apart. thank god you have a mummy who is so caring and willing to support you in whatever you're doing afiq. thank God for that, you're very blessed.

i have a few friends who are divorced, and worse still, both of their parents are having their own sweet time finding new partners, which is shitty if i must say. they are neglected and turn out finding for outside love other than their parent's.

congratulations afiq. you're much, much more matured than i thought. behind that boyish face lies a very intellecual mind indeed.

mirul said...

ahaks, suprised too to see toriq here ~ all the way from scotland to see ur blog, afiq~ :)

afiq said...

Hope you mother is doing great too

Chemistry Grad said...

hehe~
