Syed Putra is a proudly self-declared
non-Muslim Malay who proudly eats freely and drinks alcohol during Ramadan.
On Reddit, posted by a
non-Muslim Malay :
Whenever i eat pork bacon with my friends(who know damn well that i dont practise islam) they will always jokingly say stuff like "eh haram bro, Allah will smite you" and i will continue to conspicuously eat my pork bacon in front of them. They mean well, theyre my friends and i love them.
Sometimes i get annoyed when my driving instructors ask me about my ethnicity and religion. Often times they will ask me if i am malay and the conversation will go like this.
DI: are you malay?
Me: yeah
DI: oh okay cause you speak really good english for a malay / your accent doesnt sound malay
Me: okay thanks i guess
DI: so youre muslim?
Me: nope i dont believe in god
DI: huh how can malay not believe in allah
Me: in my head "
jeez not this shit again"
But the time i felt the most disgusted was when i was having lunch with another intern during ramadan. He said to me in what i call, the "uneducated-singaporean-chinese" accent
Coworker: eh bro you cannot eat!
Me: why not?
Coworker: fasting month!
Me: oh its okay i dont practise religion
Coworker: but you malay right?!
Me: yeah.....
Coworker: then cannot eat what!
Me:
rolls eyes
Me : I'm a fucking
non-Muslim Malay, understand?!?
