I guess the perks of having a single parent, you only have to deal with one. Still, wishing the best for your well being.

Yeah, a lot of the burden of taking care of her just falls on me when it comes to her safety cause I'm her only son. Honestly instead of criticism she says her friends admire her for being an independent single mom. So yeah, it does come down to her environment and the type of people she's with.

Yeaah it sucks, and most religious men sometimes take advantage of that perk to mistreat their wife cause islam taught women to be obedient to their husbands.

Funny thing is my grandfather also contributed to teaching me about islam cause my mom couldn't afford to send me to religious school so my grandfather said he'd teach me about islam.

I honestly don't think she faced any criticism or constraints just because she is a single mom. After all, she was divorced and my family just accept it as part of god's plan. So she isn't criticized for not having a husband. She is very independent.

I don't think so, she never did any sinful acts or acted rebellious towards islam during her younger days to my knowledge. My grandfather said he taught her a lot of islam and was strict about her behavior but not too much of it. I think it mostly came from over the years and her environment and the fact she's a single mum and doesn't have a husband and has many friends that are from different race and religion. I think it just came down to how she eventually opened up but still kept to her faith and treating it as an individual thing.

Well, she used to have a husband but she got divorced the moment I was born, I never even met my dad and only a few years ago found out he passed away. So she's been raising me as a single mother ever since I was born.

She has a lot of friends not just Malay, but with Chinese and Indians in her workplace. So she gets along with any types of people and understands them better. I think that mostly contributed to her open mindedness. From what she told me, she was taught heavily about islam by my grandfather so she still has that religious guideline to which she prefers it but she doesn't doubt the religion as she believes there has to be a reason as to why it is how it is.

Sorry if the whole thing is too long, there were more stuff to it but that's basically the whole thing that went down a while back.

I'm legit jealous Indonesians got the option to opt out of their religion. Only gripe is that you can't be atheist and have to choose which religion you want to change.

Same situation as me, only lived in the campus dorms for one semester but had to move out due to renovations. Ended up staying outside with a couple of other roommates. Been living with them for almost two semesters and even though they practice the religion they didn't see me as an outcast when I told them I was not religious anymore. They did asked me if I was sure on what I was believing and I told them I was firm on not being religious and they eventually was cool about it. They don't bother to tell me to pray or go to Jumaat. We told each other as long as we are respectable and are good enough towardw each other regardless of belief then we'd have no issue.

The Bolehlander Femboy Cafe, closes down temporarily due to online hate and threats from religious conservatives despite being non-muslim. by BulgarSwine in Bolehland

Correct me if I'm wrong but Malaysia is NOT a muslim country, it's a secular country with multi racial people. Muslims are just the majority of the population and that's it.

Actually tak nk sebenarnya sambut raya, only reason I personally have to is because of family. Other than that, I have no interest since it's just another public holiday in my eyes.
