I feel like they think they’re entitled to everything. Pantang tengok orang macam ni.

Exhibit A: They assume that the bus or van should wait for them, not the other way around. It wouldn’t hurt at all to arrive a bit earlier and wait for a few minutes.

Exhibit B: They expect others to turn the world upside down to meet their demands simply because they’re their friends. For family, yes, I can accept that argument, but for friends, not so much—especially when they ask quite frequently, even for non-essential things, and when the relationship is parasitic rather than mutualistic.

Exhibit C: They expect to be treated better simply because people know them. Anything less than what they think they deserve shouldn’t be entertained. This is honestly quite frustrating because they don’t even have a proper title, and the fact that they already think this way is reminiscent of the behaviors of the politicians we have now.

Exhibit D: Yeah, you’re a native of this land, but you can’t simply tell non-natives to leave because they’re not natives. They have settled here for generations and are pretty much entitled to the same things you are. Comments like « When are they going back? » I simply can’t accept. What’s even more unacceptable is that they’re also somewhat against non-native Muslims when you yourselves want Islam to prosper. The disdain towards them is simply ridiculous. One instance that really made me sick was when we went to eat at a Yemeni restaurant and there was a prayer space. But for some reason, they still managed to complain, saying things like « Why is the prayer space so small? » etc. Surprisingly, a native restaurant of the same prestige had no prayer space at all, yet there was no comment about its absence. Personally, I’d rather have one than none.
