#KelantanKindness trending on Twitterjaya
We all know Kelantan as that east-coast state, bordering Thailand that just loveeeeeeeees their budu (fermented seafood in a bottle), who are sometimes labelled ‘clannish’ and have their own ‘language’ other Malaysians have difficulty understanding.
So one Twitter user @AdDien90 decided to spark some positivity on Twitterjaya towards the Kelantanese kind by creating the hashtag #KelantanKindness.
Well, it has been steadily trending all over Twitterjaya for about 24 hours now.
Selalu tengok orang sebarkan kebencian seluruh negeri Kelantan kalau ada kes jenayah or isu viral. Tak baik & tak adil lah pukul rata macam tu. Saya percaya ramai kawan-kawan kelantan yang baik. Reply tweet ni dan kongsikan pengalaman baik mereka #KelantanKindness 🥰💛

Always see people spreading hate towards Kelantanese, especially if there is any crime or viral issues. It’s not nice and not fair la like that. I believe a lot of Kelantanese are good people. Reply this tweet and share you experience with any Kelantanese #KelantanKindness.
The hashtag #KelantanKindness OFFICIALLY started trending as early as 6 hours after the first tweet.
Trending tuuu ustaz 😂😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/qngapAom5c

My bestie is kelantanese. She was with me when i was hospitalised. She protects me from anyone who hurts me. She protects me from the men who messed with me. She cares about my health. She brought me to her home when i needed an escape. #KelantanKindness https://t.co/MHgP5jNWWi

It is so popular that even the UNICEF representative Malaysia, Marianne Clark used the hashtag too!
#Kindness doesn’t cost us anything but it’s contagious and has the power to build happier, healthier societies. Being kind to each other sets the example for children and young people. Let’s make #KelantanKindness #MalaysiaKindness https://t.co/eI5JMLxhOJ

FYI to put in context the misery faced by the Kelantanese clan, @AdDien90 shared a Direct Message (DM) he received.
This confession… Break my heart so much… #KelantanKindness 😢😔💔 pic.twitter.com/UWqCYVO9wi

In the DM, it was shared how s/he was once so depressed just being Kelantanese because of all the discrimination s/he had to face from colleagues and friends.
It was also disclosed s/he had to even leave social media because s/he couldn’t stand the discrimination.
S/he ended her DM with a thank you and prayed for @AdDien90‘s health and happiness.
#KelantanKindness kinda reminds me of this idiom.
Just bcs some people from the same state did that, satu negeri kena tempelak. No it is wrong. Hate the sins not the sinner.
Keep calm and educate yourself ok ✨

Truly positivity is something that you can easily catch, as intended by @AdDien90.
