Despite being a traditional proverb, "Datin cari anak ikan" remains remarkably relevant in modern times. In today's fast-paced, technology-driven world, it's easy to get caught up in the minutiae of daily life. Social media, in particular, has created a culture of obsessiveness, where people feel compelled to micromanage every aspect of their lives.
This theme is a frequent trope in local dramas and movies (especially in the "Drama Sangat" or "Telefilem" genres), where it is used to explore themes of loneliness, materialism, and social taboo.
Sekian, terima kasih.
