This is another problem that is currently running through in our community. Why we say our community? Well, we've always received complains from our Malay friends who complained about their Malay friends that is so into favouritism. So far, we've not yet heard about other communities.

What's favouritism? For some that does not know/understand what favouritism is, it means "an inclination to favor some person or group" or "unfair treatment of a person or group on the basis of prejudice".

What's the point of finding friends of your own clan? For example, if you're the type who favours soccer, you won't go around be friends with those who is into soccer as well. Or maybe you're the type who favours shopping, you won't only sticked with those who favours shopping as well right? What we meant was, there's no harm if you wanna find friends who shares the same hobby or whatsoever like you. But if you once practice favouritism, we think, there's really something wrong with you.

Here it goes ...

It was my first day of work yesterday, and im working under Retail line. Since this isn't my first time working under that industry, i didn't expect my colleagues to be snobbish and won't talk to me.

I was in the morning shift yesterday. The morning staffs (mostly Chinese and Philipines) was extremely fun. They greeted me with their warm welcome and smile, they assists me whenever im having doubts, they talked to me, and they cracked jokes with me. The only problem is with the second shift staffs. It's like i have to talk/smile to them first before they do the same thing to me. I have absolutely no problem with the Malay guys. It's only the Malay girls. I just could not understand them.

Im new there and i have to talk/smile to them instead of them making the first move to me? And from what i observed, they only mixed around with their 'own type of people'. This is so wrong. I bet the Manager does not know about this. Cause he's been praising to me about his staffs.

I really can't believe what im seeing. Why on earth are they practising favouritism? Choosing your own friends so that you will be cool? Then what about the others? What will they say/feel? What will happen to them? Will you like if people do the same thing to you? They won't mixed with you cause you doesn't suit being in their clan?

So, what's your say?
