Today was a tiring day for Andrew (although the tire was of his own doing). He was in Batu Caves for a photoshooting, of which it is done at the residence of the main guy - the Chef who was commissioned to cook for the job. He was a great Malay gentleman.
Andrew had always liked to enjoy being a guest to a Malay host. They have always been known for their incredible hospitality towards any guests regardless of race and religion. They treat you like a royalty even though they might not have met you ever before. Today was no different.
The chef himself was a cool guy, even for someone his age (and his food setting - great!). It has been quite some years since I have visited a Malay family and this is a very refreshing start, it truly made me feel that we are really living in a harmonious multi-racial country after all.
Some of my friends are not very fond of them, all I can say is that they lack the understanding of a true orang Melayu because as far as I know they are one of the friendliest people in Malaysia. Also to note the fact that the younger, urban breed Malay youngsters who have no respect for their own culture - they mix with their own group and are very hostile towards anyone else, even of their own race.
If thats what you think of the orang Melayu - you probably just met the black sheep of a very big herd of pure whites.

Ok, you have your point, but I still have to say, I don't have much preferences for Malay, and I certainly hate Malay language.
