OTHER ISSUES IN THE SHORT
           STORY
 SOCIAL
 CULTURE
SOCIAL (religious perspective)
1. Cik Bainun’s family was a Malay Muslim Family and they
   adhered to their religion.
• “ Allah, don’t look at me like that – the silver that’s under my
   bed. It’s got to be used some time. If we don’t use it for the New
   Year’s Day lunch, we’ll never use it. Its written in the Koran that
   it’s very bad to have Silver and gold which you never use –
   haram you know?” (page 49)

• “O ye who believe! there are indeed many among the priests
  and anchorites, who in Falsehood devour the substance of men
  and hinder (them) from the way of Allah. And there are those
  who bury gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah.
  announce unto them a most grievous penalty-”
  (At-Taubah 9:34)
2. Social problems (Unfaithfulness towards
  husband/wife)
• “ she (Mahani) like to relive her little encounter with
  Din:if only because it blotted out the awfulness of the
  present.” (page 56)
• Kam keeping mistresses (Kam withJamilah Jamboo/
  Azizah Solid)
• Shahrir (the English lecturer)
3. Social status

• Zul, born with the royal blood held highly to his social
  status, the royalty. It was important for him that his
  children, marry the person that suits their status.
• “..my daughter has learnt how to cook and mix with
  the lower orders: it was no surprise to me that she
  married Shahrir- who else would have her?”
• This implies that Zul was not happy with her daughter
  debasing herself.
• That could be the reason as to why Meriam was totally
  ignored by the family.
Culture
1. Cik Bainun preserved their culture.

• “ for nearly forty years now, Raja Zulkarnain’s family
  and friends had gathered at the residence off the tree
  lined Jln Kia Peng, in order to herald in the New Year
  with a large lunch-party.”
(PAGE 51)

• “tradition, adat and custom were the very oxygen of
  their lives and the grown-up children.”
(PAGE 52)
• “ …when her eldest daughter Mahani had suggested
  that the new year’s day lunch be cancelled she began
  so scathing in her reply that the matter had never been
  raised again”.
(PAGE 53)
2. Kam was drunk and it was totally against Malay culture, and
   against the religion.
• “ she remembered the time a troop of long-eared Sarawakian
   politicians had decended on the house carrying jars of
   fermented rice wine. They had passed the jars around for
   everyone to try and Kam had drunk so much that he had been
   violently sick all over Latifah’s toilet”.
(PAGE 54)
 Abu Musa reported, he said: "The Prophet has sent into the
   land of Yemen, together with Mua'dz bin Jabal. I asked
   him," O Messenger of Allah! In the state(Places we work)
   there are two kinds of drinks called
   "mizr" made ​from wheatand "bit'i" made ​from honey. How
   is that? "Answer the Prophet," Every intoxicant
   prohibited.”(Abu Musa r.a.)
3. Kam was married to a Chinese girl; a devoted eater of
  pork.
• It broke his mother’s heart because she was a Chinese
  girl, while the mother was very devoted to their Malay
  and royal culture. Most important thing of all, she was
  a “kaffir”, as Cik Bainun mumbled in her dreams.

• “he had married Chew Mei Mei, a Chinese
  girl, breaking his mother’ heart in the process”
(PAGAE 57)
4. Visiting the grave and sprinkling the “precious water”
  are Malay’s culture. (religious perspective)

• “…she made twice weekly visits to her husband’s grave
 at the Royal Burial Grounds in Klang, sprinkling the
 precious water over the grave..”

5. Greetings and hand shaking (Malay culture)

• “Sabrina rushed ahead and salaamed each of her aunts
 and uncles.” (page 61)
6. Favoring the last child of the family/the only boy.
• Kam was spoiled by his mother because he was the
  youngest and only boy in the family.
• “ finally, there was the apple of Cik Bainun’s eye, her
  Kam…”
• “Like all only sons, he was horribly spoiled….”
(PAGE 57)
Is this normal?
 Raja Zulkarnain favored his eldest daughter (Mahani).
 Cik Bainun lavished Kam with all her love.
 Meriam was neglectd entirely.
