Imagine this. You are renting a room to a young college student girl. Well, this girl, is kind of "open minded". Too bad, you are not. She goes out to college and comes back as and when she likes. Sometimes, past midnight, she will be going out with a bunch of friends to have 'teh tarik'. Saturday night? What else, party all night, only comes back when the sun about to rise. Sometimes, inviting a guy into the house, straight into the room at strange hours? Only God knows what happened in the room. Do you like what see ? What will be your next course of action ?
She can deny nothing happened in there, but people tends to think otherwise. There's a malay proverb, “masuk kandang kambing mengembik, masuk kandang lembu mengembu”. That is not your house. You cannot simply do things as you wish. The keyword is 'respect'. Although you are paying rental, that does not grant you the right to behave in such a manner. You might be a person that sounds wise, but your action proofs that you are not.

whoa! you sound like my mom lah.. but true..respect and moral values are very important..
Yes Tina. If u dont show some respect to ppl, how do u expect ppl to do the same to u? Worst, if u dont respect ur ownself, will ppl respect u ?
Bely true dizzy. Always do the things that you want other people do to you and respect have to be earned, not given.
mahaguru - yes wise one. True.
