Entry 3: 1st Individual Presentation
안녕! (That is ‘Annyeong’ which means hi
in Korean). Ooooookay so I did my presentation this morning. I talked about
Adat Perpatih, as what I mention before. Guess what? As soon as it’s my turn to
present, most of them thought I’ll be talking about Korea already -.- okay. So
they were totally wrong ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ~~
I am glad enough that I chose this as my topic, because Madam Fariza
seems curious about it too, and also most of my classmates. I told you, people
are so stereotype about this culture. Well, most of Malaysian’s mentality are
like that, stereotyping this culture when they does not know most of the facts.
Therefore let me take this chance to clear my classmates thought about Adat
Perpatih.
I started with telling the fact that I myself was born in Adat Perpatih
bloodline, and that we are still holding up to that culture. Of course, not
100% are still being preserve until now, but in daily life or some strict
rules, yes we still hold up to it. I continued with stating the fact about
marriage between men and women from the same culture, the same bloodline, what happen
if there’s divorcement between men and women, either from Adat Perpatih or not.
What people thinks about Adat Perpatih was, anyone who marry to a girl
born in Adat Perpatih, if they divorced one day in the future, the whole wealth
from the men will belong to the women. Okay that part is true, but not true
enough. There’s a missing part in that statement that makes people have been
stereotyping Adat Perpatih all this while. IF a men who was born in Adat
Perpatih, marries a women from Adat Perpatih, one day IF they divorce, then the
men’s wealth will belong to the women. If the men is born in Adat Temenggung,
then there is nothing for them to be afraid of since that rule does not applies
to them.
That was the argument part in my topic. Whether the wealth will change
to the women side if they divorce. Great argument, which have been haunting the
mind and mentality of most Malaysians. I am so happy that I get the chance to
be confidence enough to talk in front of my classmate, on top of that I got to
clear their misunderstandings about my culture. Madam Fariza also seems
satisfied and she said that it is good to go back to your root, knowing where
and what you are, knowing yourself. Thanks to this assignment that I got to do
such things. I am anticipating our next assignment already, it’s fascinating.
Love, Bell 슈아.
