F:”Ok mummy,but this really hurt…and smelly also..
(conversation of F- 16 years old girl and B-her mother)
F:”Mum! How could you fix my marriage without telling me?!How can you marry me to that minister of state ! He is 64 years old and you know he have 7 wifes in house!

F:”I don’t want! I am just 16 !”
B:”Manner please! How dare u shout to ur mother!
F:”I am sorry mum, but this is too much! I will never marry to that man, this is my life and I have the right to choose who I want to marry with! The man I love!
B:”Stop thinking about that poor scholar , he can’t even feed himself, how can he support u? He can’t give u a good life, and what will others said if u marry to that poor fellow?”
F:”But I love him! Mum, he is ambitious and kind and….
B:”Enuf ! you have to follow what I said, this is the decision made by ur father! As a daughter, there is nothing u can do! Just prepare to be the bride of minister!
F:”Mum,listen to me please!
B:”Ah kau Ah Cai! Take Little Miss to her room and lock her inside until her wedding day~!
F:”Mum!!!u can’t do this to me!
<FLASHBACK END>
D:”Poor Mei Feng, I watch this kind of story in TV Drama as well. Men are free to choose their wife, but girl must follow what the parents had arrange for them and can’t even pursue their true love. Sadly to say, this kind of discrimination still exist until today.
B :”What? Ur mummy force u to marry Patrick? ”
D:”Of course no!What I mean is gender discrimination still exist in this modern world, but in a much different manner.Does any of u heard about suttee?”
C:”Satay? Is it the one u eat with ketupat? ”

A:”Dun be afraid Indra,it won’t hurt at all…I heard they said it end quite fast…Not much suffer…
D:”But I’m still 18….there are so many things I haven’t done and so many things I haven’t see..
A:”Poor Indra, why this kind of tragedy fall on u…If ur husband is not dead , u need not follow suttee…
D:”Sister, can’t I just run away? I dun want to be burn to death….
A:”How coulod u run away? They will catch u, u will be severely punished…
D:”But anyhow I’m going to be burn alive, there might be a chance if I succedd.I won’t lose anything anymore….Why shud I be killed after my husband die? ”
A:”This is our tradition…Only with this, u can prove that u are a good woman, and this ritual is an act of purity, self-sacrifice and dignity.”
D: ”This is so cruel....Sister! Please! Save me!
A: (walk away) ”I’m sorry Indra, forgive me!”
<FLASHBACK END>
C:”This is even worst than the ancient china foot binding! How can modern people think like that? Love is not die together, love is even though u are dead, u still wish that the one u love can survive! Just like the movie Titanic, Rose and Jack….”
F:”Stop mentioning about Jack in front of me! My blood boils!”
C:” Relax~ Hey do u all know, I saw the burning stuff in Europe history also! In Europe, people used to burn the witch alive to stop them from practicing black magic!
E:”Witch only ?How about wizard?”
C:”err… I don’t know…”
B:”For God sake, do u think Harry Potter world really exist in history? How could there be real witch? It’s just superstitious….”
C:”Yup, superstitious….only towards female. Sometime, it’s just epiderma disease spread or natural death, but female is always being acused of summon evil spirit or bring disaster to others.
B:”Now I know! I think I am the victim of sex discrimination as well!
