In my opinion, the stereotype has become a habit for us which are why most of the people can't avoid having a stereotype. In fact, some of them might not even realize that they often have stereotype on people as it is a normal thing to label and make any assumption towards people. However, it is unhealthy and not a good habit to be done in our daily life. This stereotype will lead to conflict as people will fight each other. Everyone is not the same person. So, the stereotype on Malay is lazy cannot be accepted as not every Malay people is a lazy person. Some of them are successful people, for example, Vivy Yusuf. If Malays are lazy, so why she can make it and success in her life? Yes, everyone has their right to judge people but they need to limit it and not to blame the whole community. In this matter, it’s not suitable to apply “One bad apple spoils the barrel” term.

STEREOTYPING
What is stereotyping? In my understanding, stereotype means judging people a group of people who are different from us and make any assumption on it without the valid reason. Nowadays, the stereotype is a common thing in our society. The stereotype is not only related with our first impression about toward something, but it also included our religion and culture as well. It became wide and goes beyond the facts at hand. The most common stereotype exist in Malaysian is where Malay was labelled as lazy people.
