We know that, the cases of lesbian or gay not origin in our country but were adapted from the outside country because of the advanced and modern technology, the knowledge of people about this being widely and it may influence them to try and adapt this. So here, we can say that the issues or cases of lesbian were occurring in our society because of the technology the environment. For example, the introduce of internet may wide the scope which is they can know what the issues in outside the country.

Other than that, these issues also occur because of the norms and value of people. For example, in western country, the norms of people in that environment were not take serious and they seen in commonly without against theirs norms and value. So that, community in our country also think like the western people and they practice that without think about our culture and values……

  1. noridayati: hye girls...straight to the point. based on my opinion this issues is common nowadays because as we know in metropolitan country this culture is often happen. So the changes of social is don't give big impact for them.As you said in your post about the issues of fatine in Malaysia i believe for the first perception of the people is bad,but, time to time the people was accepted it as a new culture.Eventhough this social changes was accepted but for me it's only in urban area and i don't think rural area in our country accept this issues because for them they still practice and exercise the traditional culture..For example, in Islam,this issues is against the nature of the religion...TQ

  3. amirah abdullah: i do agree that technology is the main source that contribute to the spread of this issue. I call this issue as 'moral disaster'. However, i don't agree with the statement on the duration of change(before changes).People feel uncomfortable on this issue is not because they are lack of knowledge or information. But, because they are not really exposed on the issue. The problem here is because we try to follow everything from the west as we think that anything comes from the west is great. Perhaps, this issue is common nowadays but i believe that our society won't tolerate on this immoral attitude. In fact, it is strongly forbidden in our religion.Regarding the marriage of the gay, it is absolutely illegal in our country,right??

  4. afifah:hi everybody...erm...this topic is quite interesting topic and...i agree with amirah...people in the previous time was not exposed to this thing because usually this thing only involved youths...i dont think this issue will be accepted in our malay custom as a culture as ida said before...because it is against with the human nature and the creation of human being...and it will remains as a poison in our culture...but people or society that will change based on how they absorb and accept this issue in their life especially in the era of globalization....which emphasizing on 'human right' concept...huhuhu....i believe that most religion that exist in this world are prohibited this kind of relationship but because of misunderstanding the concept of human right, nowadays most of people prefer to ignore the existence of this problems surrounding them...besides,the concept of individualistic is become huge from day to day...and this will abolish the communitism among the people...and no wonder if i say it as one of factor that bring this problem increase....do you think so?.....

  5. maizatul asida-salam'alaik to everyone..
    basically, i agree with our idea...but,i want to ask you,why you said that level of change (before changes)is more focuses on the student who has the higher education especially overseas student.can you explain more on that??? and i wanna share with you that, i had read in MASTIKA regarding this issues..and i really surprised that,gay has their own club at KL..and they always do party for fun...besides,MASTIKA also state that gay also happen in Tahfiz school..when i read that article, i feel so sad..because i,personally really respect Tahfiz's student..but,unfortunately,this problem also occurred at that place...so,we should do something to overcome this problem..

  6. nur hazirah- assalmualaikum,nowadays,lesbian and gay is common issue. If we ask others,they know about it. In my opinion, it is not good being lesbian or gay, because it only can make other people hate and look down towards us. it is true to make a change in our life,because if we do not make a changes in our life,it will not develop ourselves. For me,we should overcome this issue before it worst,and this issue is against the nature of human being.

    ok..i got your intro about this kind of issue..yes,it is now such a common issue which we don't see it as something weird..telling you my respond towards this kind of issue,of course I would say,'yerkk!'..but still,'its not weird..'
    last month,i hung out with my friend..a girlfriend,n she did ask me to accompany her to the dinner with her lecturer and one of her friend,a guy..we had a dinner together..knowing that her lecturer is a gay and is interested to the guy..i was like,'okayyyy'....
    back to your point,i don't really agree with the point of the level of change before changes..why must u state that during this time,it focus on the overseas student?is that u think they are more open minded?or what?explain me more..

  9. salam..thanks everybody...for your interesting comment..

    First of all, i want to tell you something. This issues quite happens nowadays. Sometimes, it is happens because of less of education, religion and also less of attention from theirs family especially parents.

    Yes, i agree with you amirah, but in term of duration of change(before changes), as we know, the people at the pass(a years ago), they lack of information especially for rural areas because they do not have proper infrastructure especially internet and television. So, from that, people at that time not enough knowledge and information regarding this issues. They do not know pertaining this issues, so how can they can follow the west culture? Of course it is not right, because they not influence about that issues and don’t know pertaining this case. As we know, the people easy influence from mass media, so if they lack of this information, they cannot easy being influence by the west..

    Next, I will try to answer Maizatul question pertaining the level of change(before changes). Basically, if we talking about higher education surely we focuses on the student in the overseas. It is because in term of people mindset, we cannot change right, especially the old man or women that are living in village. If they ask you, "where do you study"? and you said in United Kingdom or overseas, of course they can proud with you and also exciting to them if you compare you study in our country surely they can just nodding of their head only or shy.
    That why we more focuses on the overseas student. Other than that, it is because as we know, our own culture is totally different with the other countries culture. So, when ours student studying in outside our country it is can give big changes to them to find the suitable in order to cope with other culture.

    I think that my opinion regarding the question on this issues . Commented by Nor Farah Fazleen Binti Ab Aziz.....That all ... thank you..=)
