The Malay Dilemma
Di mana boleh cari ramai Melayu
Pastinya di Kelantan dan Trengganu
Dan juga di pasar malam dan pasar minggu
Di Akademi Fantasia dan Pesta Lagu
Di Jom Heboh orang Melayu berpusu-pusu
Di Sungai Buloh dan sebelum ini di Pudu
Dan di jalan, lumba haram tak buka lampu
Dan di selekoh duit rasuah depa sapu
Di pusat serenti akibat ketagih dadah dan candu
Di malam kemerdekaan dan malam tahun baru
Terkinja-kinja best giler menari macam hantu
Apa hobi orang Melayu
Terkenal dengan budaya malas dan lesu
Berlepak buang masa tak jemu-jemu
Atau baca majalah Mastika cerita hantu
Tengok telenovela dari Filipina dan Peru
Sambil makan junk food kacang dan muruku
Mana tak gendut berpenyakit selalu
Kalau nak berlagak melayu nombor satu
Asal bergaya sanggup makan nasi dan toyu
Boleh tak jumpa mereka di kedai buku
Atau di perpustakaan dan majlis ilmu
Atau ambil kelas kemahiran di hujung minggu
Ada tapi kurang sangat ke situ
Kenapa Melayu jadi begitu
Nak salahkan sapa ibubapa atau guru
Pemimpin negara atau raja dulu-dulu
Ayat lazim di mulut ialah malas selalu
Nak harap kerajaan saja bantu
Terutama sekali kontraktor kelas satu
Tak habis-habis gaduh nak jatuh sapa dulu
Dan suka sangat dengan budaya mengampu
Sampai bila kita nak tunggu
Bangsa Melayu jadi bangsa termaju
Boleh, dengan beberapa syarat tertentu
Pertama dengan banyak menguasai ilmu
Kata nabi ikutlah al Quran dan sunnah ku
AlQuran yang diturunkan 1400 tahun dulu
tapi apakah yang kita tahu,
cuma baca nak halau hantu
Wasallam

Do you know that Shakira, the Hips Don't Lie singer had her dance talent through genetic memory? I read a book whereby her dad told how she danced at the age of 3 on a restaurant table to a Spanish song as if something went into her because she couldn't have seen the steps before and no one had even taught her.
They said that super expressive behaviour among the Indians is something genetic. It shows through their Bharatha Natyam dance and hundreds of sexual Karma Sutra positions which even involves movement of eye lids, eye balls, toes and flexing of the stomach muscles as outlets to relieve their emotions for constantly being in the darkest depression thousands of years ago.
They said that the instincts to keep making money among the Chinese is something genetic too even if they may have not find the time to use it in this lifetime. No matter where they go, it is a standard modus operandi which keeps their togetherness in all the Chinatowns in the world.
There are so many types of Malays, our heritage dance steps which is so LEMAH gemalai and repetitive does reflect the way we express ourselves then. Are the Malays in Brunei, Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar the same and suffer/inherit the same type of genetic memory?
If the only two races in the world that 'melatah' (the repetitive problem again) are the Malays and the Eskimos, does it mean we are related is some ways? How is it that it is in our genetic memory when we are so far away?
