I think the word 'Kaling' should be considered as a swear word in households in Brunei.

I'm quite confused on the origins of the K word, i know 2 versions. One version means 'friend' in indian language (dont know which dialect) and the other derives from sounds of the sound of shackles of Indian slaves.

Either version, i am sick of how we seem to label other races as if the Malay race is superior.
Dont get me wrong.. the malay race is superior in a way. Deep in history, deep in culture and deep in financial debts.

Even if kaling means friend, we use it in a degradatory way and that is enough justification to stop using that word. We sure get sensitive once those westerners call us 'exotic', dont we?
Fuck that, im not 'exotic'. What am i, a monkey with a pink and green back?

we go "Awww" on pictures of African children dying and starving and lament on the treatment theyre getting. I think whats just as bad is the attitude that goes towards the immigrant workers back at home. People like this are earning bottom of the barrel wages for their own families, working hard, away from their family and loved ones and that in my book, deserves massive respect.

I am tired of how we portray them. That shit has got to change.
