BlogBuster 50: P.O.L.I.T.E.N.E.S.S

salam people,

yes.

the new Blogbuster will talk about POLITENESS.

what is the meaning of politeness?

according to The Free Dictionary, politeness means

"the act of showing regard for others"

short.simple.straight to the point.

My gratitude goes to this lil boy.

He does know what politeness means.

HOWEVER,

it is very RARE to hear people praising about Malaysians politeness.

To make it worst,recently we had been condemned by CNN website regarding the

NOT-SO-FUNNY-AT-ALL cartoon that was shown in the local newspaper.

personally I feel extremely SAD.

where is our common sense people?

WHERE?

T_____T

As you can see from both of the pictures above, the Mat Salleh injected the awareness of being polite since the early age.

The best medium would be the story book. A door for new knowledge.

Surrounded by the high level of understanding community in Australia

makes me feel that how amazing they are to live in a such harmony environment.

Strangers do greet each other like

"Good Morning, how are you going?"

"Hello Love! U look fantastic today"

I really mean it.

Woolworths or we called it Woolies.

The staffs that work here are absolutely friendly.

Don't get surprise if the cashier ask you

"Hello,how r u today?"

and ends with

"Bye2,have a nice day"

Plus,they never forget to Smile!

how cool is that?

I must say that during my summer break at Malaysia,

I was quite shocked with the people that works in supermarket or any other shops,

that were so with the 'Ketat' face and does not greet/ignore the customers at all.

I try to stay positive until one time I got quite shaky when 1 of the cashiers imitated what I was saying to another cashier.

Does it seems polite for you?

Well I don't think so.

Let's take a look at how JAPANESE people overcomes their problems.

cooperation.discipline.respect others.

The queue itself explains everything.

Despite the limited food supply, they can still wait for their turn.

I don't think they learn this subject at school,



BUT

We did learn it!

where are the leaning outcomes?

Where is our childhood input?

Wasn't it suppose to be applied in the long run?

Abu Hurairah (RA) said, “I heard Abu al Qasim (Rasulullah (SAW)), say, ‘The best among you in Islam are those with the best manners, so long as they develop a sense of understanding.” (Al-Bukhari)

As a Muslim, we do have specific Du'a everytime we look at the mirror.

"O Allah, just as You have made my external features beautiful, make my character beautiful as well".

Ameen.Ya Rabb.

A pathetic scene captured at Negeri Sembilan.

They were busy collecting the rice without even helping the injured driver who was later died because of the late help from people.

Where is the humanity?

''Politeness is the flower of humanity.''

REALITINYA,

AKHLAK MULIA YANG DIGARISKAN ISLAM

DIAMALKAN OLEH NEGARA YANG BUKAN ISLAM

Believe me, we can make a difference.
