I’ve seen both my parents & my aunt Dr Auntie defending my sister’s name, ‘FATIMAH’. Sadly, still, there were many who kept on calling her ‘Timoh’. How rude!
.
I am genuinely frustrated, so today, allow me to speak my mind. This is me, a brother, an 11-year-old boy, defending his little sister. Not only that, today I am also standing by those who have suffered & are still suffering from the cruel act of name-calling!
.
Name-calling is an act of insult & is a form of bullying. I'm surprised how with all this anti-bullying awareness around the world, people still don't realise that name-calling is an act of bullying!
.
As the Head Boy of my school, if anything like this happened, I would strongly go against it as bullying cannot be tolerated in any situation whatsoever! I would also plead to parents & teachers out there to take this matter seriously & do as much as they can to play their role & prevent things like this from repeatedly happening!
.
Honestly, I'm curious why some Malaysians, who are from the same religion as us, mock our parents for naming us Omar Mukhtar, Fatimah & Ali, which, according to them, are backdated names, whereas people from different religions praise them. The funny thing is that, living in England, none of the local people who lived here ever made fun of our names. In fact, they always praise our parents for giving us such beautiful names.
.
I love how my parents named all three of us! They didn't simply just say, "Ooh, 'Omar Mukhtar' sounds like a nice name, I'm going to call my son that" no, they named us after the owners of the names, hoping that one day, we might become as great a person as they are - Omar Mukhtar, after the famous Lion Of The Desert; Fatimah, after the beloved Prophet's daughter; and Ali, after the 4th Khalifa in Islam...TO BE CONTINUED ON MY BLOG - thepawsomelion.wordpress.com or click the link below👇🏻

p/s: STOP calling my sister TIMOH. Her name is FATIMAH! She has me on her right & Ali on her left. As for me, I'm not bothered if you don't like my name because I am OMAR MUKHTAR THE PAWSOME LION!
