Ada Apa Dengan Pengkid?

Hell broke loose when the National Fatwa officially declared that Pengkidism is haram. Tabloid newspapers poured gasolin on the controversy when they interviewed some pengkids they found by the road side and yes, yet again, Pengkidism like other demonized 'sects' was immortalized by the press.

And who's to blame for yet another social phenomena? Most will blame the teenagers themselves. Teenagers not affected by the pengkid culture will blame the religious authorities. Religious authorities will blame parents. Parents will blame teachers. Teachers will blame the community. The community will blame teenagers.

Everyone's playing the blame game. Nobody wants to have anything to do with problems faced by teenagers. So is it not unusual that teenagers act out the way they are doing right now? It is common that teenagers show defiance when ignored by people around them. Hot blooded and full of angst, they will eventually find refuge among themselves, subsequently turning alien trends or lifestyles into a common ground between them. I mean, have you seen a mat rempit doing stunts all by himself? Or a pengkid smoking cigarette at Bukit Bintang by herself?

Malaysians' hypocrisy is in fact, legendary. Parents who found out their children are Pengkids will stare at the ceiling and raise their hands to pray "Ya Allah ya Tuhanku. Kenapalah anak aku jadi begini?" without realizing that they once had bushy Paula Abdul hairdos, electric blue eyeshadows, skimpy printed leopard outfits and spent most of their free nights dancing the night away to tunes like George Michael's Wake Up Before You Go-Go.

The practice of dressing up as the opposite sex is similar to maknyahs so they should be called tranvestites instead, not pengkid. Dressing up to mimic the opposite sex is haram. Homosexuality is haram. Yoga is haram. But seriously, not all Malaysians have thorough understanding of Islam and Haram to some doesn't mean anything. Do pengkids have sex with girls? But how lah? They 'scissors' issit?

I have a feeling that not all pengkids are sexually active lesbians. They are just slightly masculine girls. We shouldn't have problems with slightly masculine females. Dato' Azalina is slightly masculine and unmarried but that didn't deter her from being successful.

Personally, I think pengkids are faking it. They are not as passionate about football like reasonably effiminate girls like Lubna nor do they enjoy watching contact sports like Pro wrestling or Sumo. They fake it because they feel secluded from the hot girls circuit. Since they have big frames and are slightly chubby, they failed in generating sexual interest of men yang suka usha usha benda baek. So they get their revenge by dressing up as boys and get the hottest girls to go out with them. Maka berkuranglah perempuan berspecies hot in the hot girls circuit. But that's my personal opinion lah.

(But whatever it is, I can't help but to laugh at pengkids sense of style. All lebih kurang. G.I. Joe shorts, polo shirts yang colar ala2 pelakon Korea, beaded necklace, pasar malam shades and excessive amount of Brylcreem. It's so very amatuer-ish, very unlike our professional MakNyahs.)

When a person is down with a desease, will we cure it by telling him again and again that he will die if the desease spread and his body deteriorate? Or will we diagnose his body and cure him with the best medical solution?

What they need are ears to listen to their problems, mouths to sooth their troubled souls, hands to embrace their shivering bodies and love to realize their self worth. Instead they are patronized by people who are supposed to guide them.

Macam mana ni bhai?
