Strolling in the Pavilion shopping mall (to my knowledge funded by Q8 money, correct me when I'm wrong), I couldn't help but notice that almost all of the male sales persons were wearing nametags that referred to Muslim names (Mohamed, Kamarul, Saiful, ....). Which is fine by me, I don't have any prejudice against religion, the question is not which religion one belongs to, the question is what one is doing with his religion. Furthermore, I couldn't help but notice that most of the sales persons were gay, without doubt, they are happy to express their feminine side, although male. Which brought me to the conclusion that the staff in the mall is mostly Muslim and gay, and clearly open about it.
I must admit, I never looked upon Malay guys this way. This is an eye-opener for me. Are these guys really so confident about their racial (and therefor religious) background and their sexuality, or is this only allowed within the limited boundaries of the shopping mall?
Maybe I should ask them this question personally, next time I'll go shopping. I wonder if I'll get a clear answer.
Meanwhile, I stay pleasantly surprised! There is more in Malaysia then one can imagine!
