The more our parents age, the more difficult it can be to handle them at times. Come to think of it, it wasn’t easy for them to raise us too. Regardless, where do you stand on sending parents to the old folks’ home?

According to the head of the Miri Taoist Association in Sarawak, he said the Chinese community in Malaysia has a lot to learn from the Malay community about being a good child.

The concept of filial piety has a history of 5,000 years in Chinese culture but he said that the Malay community in Malaysia shows more love to their parents, and will never abandon them under any circumstances, reported Oriental Daily.

“It is rare to see Malay elders in nursing homes, and most of the elderly abandoned in nursing homes are Chinese.”

He said this when delivering a speech at the Parents’ Day dinner themed “In the Name of Love, Paying Homage to Parents” held by the Youth Group of the Miri Taoist Church of Jesus Christ of Lama last night (June 10).

He also explained that “filial piety” means respecting parents, obeying their wishes, and raising them to the fullest. In short, it means being filial to parents and it is the basic requirement for the sons and daughters.

He said that with the development of the times, technology has continued to advance, bringing a variety of products for communication and connection to mankind. From the early days of overseas telephones and family letters to today’s Internet, these ever-changing communications have completely influenced people’s lives.

“In addition to bringing people closer together, it also provides a new platform for children to care for and show filial piety to their parents and the older generation at home.”

What do you think of his take on this?
