Some people are so tak lek. Woi. Lek la woi.
I should post things like this on Twitter but I refuse.
Everyone in this country dah semakin tak lek. Ok let me define 'tak lek' for you. Tak means no/not, and lek is a short form of relax. Meaning tak lek means not chilled or not calm.
With the increasing usage of social networking sites (Twitter Facebook etc), everyone has their own medium to express their opinions and show it to the world.
Nowadays, there are a lot of things happening in Malaysia, for example the picture of two individuals wishing selamat berpuasa while eating bak kut teh, the selamat hari raya video with the dog and a lot more.
The law enforcers took the matter very seriously and some of them ended up with jail time, even though some of the more liberal people think that what they did were just minor mistakes.
Surprisingly, suddenly a lot of users on Twitter and Facebook has their own opinion on the matter and decided to post their opinions online for everyone to read. And some of them didn't even do any research before posting their 'opinions' (but were very firm on their beliefs). They posted it on the grounds that they read some blog (with an unknown source).
Some people just post stuff that they feel people wanted to hear instead of facts, and get lots of support and likes and retweets (because that's what society is like nowadays. They only listen to what they want to hear.)
Yes, you are entitled to your own opinion. But isn't it wrong to say something that's not even close to the truth? Isn't it wrong to say something that may hurt other's feelings? To hate and hate and hate?
If you say "oh it's my twitter I can tweet whatever I want its my mouth I can say whatever I want" ah kau ingat ni lagu Miley Cyrus ke apa.
If you truly feel there's something wrong with the system or anything, go through the right medium to fix it. Run for parliament or whatever else that makes you be heard by the government. Not just by ranting on social sites (and annoying everyone else who does not have the same views as you).
And if you have views, give facts. Real facts. And keep the opinion professional. Nak debat tak salah pun, ada medium lain pulak.
And oh yeah, one more thing. Social sites are not to be taken too seriously. Some people joke around a lot and not everything they say means anything. Some people post hate statuses because this other guy posted a joke he didn't get. Tak lek langsung.

If I've offended anyone who read this post, I apologize. And please do correct me if I'm wrong.

So keep it classy people. Lek.
