A culture activity is important to student nowadays weather in standard form or is a middle school. This activity can show our country identity and unity. Culture activities are consequence to build a good attitude among student so that, they will be well behave in the future. They are three main points to practice the culture activities by Malay likes respect the elders, smile and approach not arrogant, and lastly is wear proper cloth.
Respect the elders not mean we suppose to afraid with them or must follow all the instruction that they have command but we suppose deferential esteem felt with them because they have ate salt first and have a more experience than us and know what wrong and right. They are many of culture style that has been practice to respect older people since long time ago. For Malay people they show a respect by walking slowly, bend a backbone in front around 40 degree and a right straight toward to the floor when walking in front old people. Besides that, Malay culture although teach us to do not disturb older while they talking.
In addition, smile and approach not arrogant is one of the cultures that have been practice by Malay people and this culture have been adopt based on the Islam religion. Smile mean we are happy meet them. Our face can show a dozen of face expression with smile we can reduces anger of another person but an extraordinary smile bring another meaning and can make people feel like we are crazy . In Islam smile with a good motif are calling ‘sedekah’. Furthermore, smile without approach is no use. When we approach, people we can get know someone and build a friendship and according to Islam, all Islamic are cousin. Nowadays, many people hard to smile and approach people, they like to live alone and only think about work because they too busy think about work and task.
Lastly, based on the Malay culture is wear are proper cloth. This culture activities more focus to the girls and the traditional cloth that show you are Malay or not is wearing a baju kurung for female and baju melayu for male. Proper cloth to Malay is the cloth must cover your body from the hair until the feet and that cloth must not thin, body shape or any that can see the body except the hand palm and the face only for the female. Same with that other culture activities, this activities are not longer practice because they have influences with yellow culture with is more style, sexy and show off the skin. They did not know that this culture activity could help to prevent them for be a victim of rape. No wonder why almost every day in the newspaper have a rape case and increase year to year if this is not taking action.
In conclusion, these activities must adapt to all the people so that every people are lives happy and harmony. Majority all Malay culture based on Islam and for information Islam region is universal and ‘syumul’ mean comprehend whole aspect.
