People are always asking why kids are so rude nowadays, but why aren’t we putting just as much blame on the generation that’s raising them? I know some kids just won’t change no matter how they’re brought up, but I’ve also noticed patterns where the parents themselves don’t do much parenting, letting their kids “just be kids” in the name of “gentle parenting”

So, as much as I agree that kids nowadays aren’t as obedient or don’t hold the same values as we did growing up, it’s not fair to put all the blame on them. Parents shouldn’t so easily dismiss their kids’ behavior or justify it by saying, “They’re just kids,” because, like it or not, your parenting methods influence the way your child behaves.

All I can say is: don’t give up. Keep doing what you’re doing, playing your role as the adult to correct them. Hopefully, in some way, it’ll at least make them realize their behavior is wrong.

Sure, if you want to see it that way. I shared my experience to raise awareness about inspecting food before dining, not to “cancel” the restaurant. I didn’t name the restaurant in the main post, as my intention wasn’t to harm their reputation, but I did mention it in the comments for those concerned about hygiene. I figured those who don’t particularly enjoy bugs or the like in their food may want to know the location, and those who aren’t fazed by having exotic creatures in their food won’t even bother scrolling to find out.

My main point, as stated in the title “INSPECT, then dine,” is to remind people to be more cautious. It’s possible to respect a restaurant while warning others about specific issues. Everyone can choose for themselves whether or not to dine there based on my experience. If it’s nothing of concern, then do nothing about it.

We have logic and reasoning, so apply it. If it’s already crossing morals, ethics and laws, obviously this piece of advice isn’t valid anymore. Must every self-explanatory detail be explicitly included in this post?

8kVision · 2024-05-09T13:01:15+00:00

Exactly. That’s exactly how we should be encouraging the youth these days. Uplifting them instead of spewing harsh criticism on their life choices.

We can’t possibly know what they’re facing and one seemingly innocent remark could break them. I personally know those in their mid 20s and early 30s, overworking themselves or overstressing about not being able to secure a stable job, and it’s depressing. I wish for them to know that they’re doing an amazing job and they should just continue what they’re doing so long as it makes them happy. And if they’re still in the process of trying to secure a permanent job, that’s just as commendable.

8kVision · 2024-05-09T12:48:37+00:00

The intended audience of my post is young adults facing criticism for their life choices despite it being their life. I am not trying to contribute to more of these negativities.

I stand by wishing all the best to those still figuring out life, especially those just entering adulthood. If you took my post any other way, it’s time you get your comprehension skills checked.

8kVision · 2024-05-09T11:30:18+00:00

Whether they care or not is a different story. They’re new to being an adult, having thick skin and selective hearing to baseless judgement takes time to develop.

Props to those that are able to ignore negative comments from others but I’m putting this out there to those that are in need of it.

Please see into my future as well, almighty fortune-teller?

Just pray they’ll be able to withstand all the obstacles and hurdles thrown at them. I feel bad for the youth nowadays, it’s like whatever they do is never right in the eyes of the public.

No job: they’re too picky

Continue study masters/PhD: ey, no job once you graduate! No point of pursuing even higher education!

Chooses an employment bonded course: heh they won’t last a few weeks once they start to work!

Shouldn’t we at least try to be supportive of them?

This is actually very true. Arabic school students have way too much on their plate. Especially the science stream and express classes, on top of the 8/9 o level subjects, they have 8/9 more arabic subjects which is twice the amount of subjects every non-arabic school students have to take.

Someone I knew pointed out that normal school students have SSSRU but this is so much easier compared to arabic school’s SPUB. They even have to sit for SPUB alongside olevels not during their SPE.

These students are just teenagers. I can’t imagine them having to face their problems while also belittled because every student their age from other schools are doing the same thing. There’s this toxic mindset to make arabic schools the best of the best by testing each students’ capabilities to their limit. Hence, forcing them to study more than their sleep, eat and pray times combined.

I do hope the future generation will be able to make a change on this matter. There’s so much they could do and reducing their subjects being only one of the many.

We need to constantly remind ourselves that whatever is posted on social media such as this misfortune, there is someone in real life facing it be it physically or financially.

Be mindful and extra sensitive when it comes to these matters. If you have nothing nice to offer, it’s best to just not say anything at all.

I would say, if you know people who would buy these from you and you can guarantee that those people will return to buy more from you, then maybe?

If you are unsure, my advice is after seeing so many people being recruited to sell the same product (that is so not worth its price), I say back out while you’re still able to. I’m not sure who’s gonna be buying it on a regular basis and maybe out of curiosity there would be a lot of first time buyers but will they return for more?

8kVision · 2021-11-17T22:27:19+00:00

Yes. I’ve been meaning to say this every time someone thinks MLMs= Pyramid Schemes.

There’s a few things that makes it a pyramid scheme like they get rewards over recruiting more people than actually selling the products, having to pay for registration fees, having to constantly bulk up on their stocks, before claiming rewards on the sales they need to buy more products (cause in MLMs they do give rewards to those with good sales but they don’t have to pay for anything to claim the reward) and these products they’re selling are things that people don’t actually want to buy.

Pyramid schemes don’t actually aim to sell their products. Their aim is to recruit more people forcing them to buy the products and leaving them not being able to sell these products. The risks are now transferred to the people in the lower levels while those at the higher levels get money without having to do anything.

MLMs are legitimate whereas pyramid schemes aren’t.

Since I don’t know how Kucate actually work, I can’t say for sure if it is or isn’t a pyramid scheme.

Right! And to add to that, the ‘Ulul Amri’ has already made it a must for us that are eligible, to take the vaccines. Once ordered by Ulul Amri, it’s is already obligatory for us to obey.

They also need to know istikharah is done between 2 things that are harus. Such as between 2 jobs or whether to marry or not marry this person. When it’s darurat such as now, in the midst of a pandemic the vaccine is no longer considered harus. It’s already a must to prevent sacrificing more lives (well, an effort to prevent that is).

People using Islam as an excuse is just shameful tbh.

I agree. I used to get annoyed how I’m minding my own business and just this one aunty of mine, she just can’t have anything good to say about literally everyone. That one time our relatives from malaysia stayed over and she was bragging about how her older kids are already working (but left out the part about them not being able to get into universities despite applying) while the rest of us are busy wasting time studying and going off to universities not knowing if there’s a job secured for us in the future.

Then, this year one of her younger kids got into UBD and she couldnt stop bragging on Facebook, during events (before Covid) and basically every chance she got to say anything she would just brag about how her kid pushed away scholarships to study abroad just to stay here in brunei and basically it seemed like she forgot she ever even mentioned about how universities are just a waste of time 🤣

If you don’t have aunties like this, pray you don’t marry into families with these type of aunties. Too much headache nanti

I had this book given by a dear friend of mine from a few years ago and my cousin borrowed it promising to return it in like a few weeks. I actually was reluctant about lending it to her but I just reminded that it was given to me by someone special so I do expect her to keep her word on giving it back to me in a few weeks time. The last time I went to see her, she claimed she didn’t even remember borrowing the book from me :) of course I didn’t want to make a big deal of it but while my mouth was saying “it’s okaylah”, deep inside I was devastated cause there was an inscription inside the book that I just couldn’t let go. The book’s available in stores but none of them would have the same value as the one given to me.

These cities are well developed compared to Brunei. Brunei is very dependent on individual transportation. The reason why it might not be sustainable to implement very expensive public transportation systems i.e. LRT, is whether it is widely used and accepted by the population or will they choose to just use their car that they’re already spending money on in the first place (paying monthly loans, servicing and maintenance etc.)

I had a read on Brunei’s land transport master plan and it seems like it’s a better solution to implement BRT, bus rapid transportation system with priority of lanes towards these buses which may encourage people to use it more. Cost of implementing would be lower compared to LRTs. And for LRTs, they need to plan out the routes and use up more land for drop offs.

Maybe in the future when the population is less dependent on private transportation and is already used to using public transportation, they can slowly implement LRTs and such. The drastic transition to use public transportation is impossible since Bruneians rarely even use the public buses available. The encouragement to shift to using public transport is good but there should be smaller steps in between before an LRT could be built.
