Malay parenting is something that aku tak ikut sgt bila nak besar kan anak aku. Malay parenting less physical affections. Less I love Yous. Semuanya kena based on apa kau buat rather than direct communication like I love you and I love you too. We were taught to act that way.

Susah nak tetiba jadi loving². Akan jadi awkward. I love Yous banyak dlm msg/card. Kalau ckp depan² takut org igt buang tebiat ke apa. But those r the words aku duk ckp byk kali masa mak aku tenat.

And I hope my daughter will still hug and throw me w/ kisses and I love/miss Yous sampai aku tua bangka. Huhuhuhuhu.

Idk why ppl beria on this tweet but yeah this what I found via google. I specifically put Malay sbb aku Melayu. Tak pernah jadi anak Cina, India atau lain-lain. Huhuhuhu. It's my personal experience. https://www.academia.edu/38793540/How_Love_is_Perceived_by_Malaysian_Malay_Children
