Customs prohibit Malay from committing acts of persecution, revenge, envy, betrayal and injustice. This prohibition is shown in Tunjuk Ajar Melayu by Tenas Effendy. Wisdom in choosing words and playing with language sounds so that the prohibition against committing disgraceful acts in traditional Malay expressions can be reconstructed. Descriptive qualitative studies use stylistic, hermeneutics and semiotic approaches because the study focuses on language, the author's style, meaning and symbols related to the prohibition. Data is read, recorded, interpreted and coded and calculated via the AnCont application, then analyzed, verified and validated. The results of the study are, unjustly strips Malays away from Muslims, persecutes the world and the hereafter is miserable, jealousy makes people hate, betrayal of God curses them, and spiteful revenge makes people go astray. This reconstruction of taboo and prohibition needs to see its relevance to generation Z, as they are the heirs who must maintain Malay customs amidst rapid technological progress which must be burdened by the progress of the times at the same time. Apart from that, it is proof of the truth of the motto ' No Malays will disappear on earth '.
