Not to criticize nor complain about most of the typical Malay guys in Malaysia but I just couldn't find more gentlemen these days. Haha sorry no offense, this statement is based on my observation as a typical Malay too. Unlike some Chinese and Indian in Malaysia they are more protective and helpful. I know I shouldn't make this post because maybe there are people who will feel offense about it. Please don't get me wrong I just want to reasoning my thoughts.
Maybe I watched too much Western movies. These made me think 'Isn't it good if there is _(character's name)_ in Malaysia'. When I asked some guys on how do they interpret gentlemen, common answers are to have a good looking face, good smell, good car, power in words, Idaman Malaya and others. hahaha ok those are all materials and physical appearances. Prophet Muhammad for instance, he's a gentlemen but he has no car or materials, he only has a good heart. He help people regardless a man or a lady, old or young.
Some men would also think himself a gentleman if he acted, helpful and soft-spoken to a lady. Haha they think they are but they aren't. Gentleman should not only be good to a woman but be good with his friends regardless their genders, good to their families and parents, good to their surroundings, honest in their speak, soft (not to be like a girl but easy to talk and discuss with), avoid bad words in conversation, cool with any problems faced. Anyway this is only how I think a gentleman should have.
Please again no offense to anyone but seriously where on earth does gentlemen in Malaysia gone? Don't have to act like those in the movies or Western films (raining speech or too many compliment) and yeah just be yourself in a positive way. Bad attitudes even their are yourself, just keep them silently in you and try to kick them out. hehe OK GUYS, have fun putting some 'gentlemen' actions in your days. Most important thing is 'It's is better trying then doing nothing and Don't over doing it, make small changes and let the flow brings you'
So long :)
