Bagai mencurah garam ke laut - Religiosity Doesn't Solve Economic Problems: While religious institutions may offer moral guidance or community support, they do not, and cannot, solve the material and systemic challenges posed by the high cost of living. Religion may provide spiritual comfort, but:

It doesn't build affordable homes
It doesn't create jobs
It doesn't provide healthcare or feed the hungry
It doesn’t mitigate the impacts of inflation, debt, or rising commodity prices
The challenges of this millennium—especially under the pressures of inflation, global economic instability, and climate change—require public funds to be directed toward real-world solutions that address the core material needs of citizens.

Religiosity Inevitably Favors the Elite: Often, public funding for religious institutions tends to favor established religious elites. In many cases, these elites do not represent the needs or interests of the broader public. The resources funneled to religious institutions may:

Reinforce power imbalances, favoring those in religious authority
Perpetuate social control mechanisms that hinder critical thinking, scientific inquiry, and open discourse
Divert attention away from the need to hold those in power accountable for addressing the real socioeconomic problems that affect the daily lives of citizens
In times of economic hardship, these power imbalances are magnified as religious leaders may act as gatekeepers for state resources, making it harder for ordinary citizens to access the public goods they desperately need.

Missed Opportunity for Societal Growth
The most pressing issues today—climate change, unemployment, access to clean water, renewable energy, sustainable agriculture—require significant public investment and innovation. When funds are diverted to religious institutions or ceremonies, it represents a missed opportunity to address the fundamental challenges that could improve the standard of living for everyone. Money spent on religiosity could instead:

Fund scientific research
Build green energy infrastructure
Improve education systems
Develop affordable healthcare
These are long-term investments that help build a prosperous, equitable society. Investing in these areas provides sustainable solutions that enable societies to flourish.

Religiosity is Personal, Not Public: Religion, by its very nature, is a personal and private matter. The diversity of religious beliefs means that the public funding of any particular religious agenda could alienate or marginalize groups with differing beliefs. It risks causing division rather than unity. When public money is spent on religious institutions, events, or symbols, it often does so at the cost of inclusivity. In contrast, secular public services—like health, education, and social security—benefit everyone, regardless of their faith or lack thereof.

In essence, public funds should be used for collective purposes, not to further personal religious beliefs.

Public funds are finite, and their primary function is to serve the welfare of all citizens, regardless of religious affiliation or belief. By diverting these funds to religious purposes, governments neglect pressing needs such as:

Affordable housing programs
Healthcare services
Job creation and workforce development
Education and public infrastructure

Misallocation of Resources In an era of rising costs of living, where housing, healthcare, education, and basic necessities become increasingly difficult to afford, spending public funds on religiosity (religious institutions, events, and symbols) can be seen as a misallocation of scarce resources.

Difficulty in Embracing Diversity and Inclusivity: Indoctrination often involves a narrow worldview that focuses on particular religious or cultural in-groups, sometimes accompanied by a belief in their superiority. Universalism, on the other hand, encourages a recognition of the equality and shared humanity of all people. Children raised in GISHB homes may find it difficult to appreciate diversity or engage in inclusive social practices, as they have been taught to view the world in binary terms (believers vs. non-believers, righteous vs. sinful).

Building Peace and Prosperity ("Heaven on Earth"):
Good Governance and Financial Prudence: Effective budgeting and resource allocation are fundamental to fostering national prosperity. When a country avoids excessive debt and mismanagement, it can invest in infrastructure, education, healthcare, and sustainable development, uplifting the well-being of its citizens.
Justice and Equity: Ensuring that wealth is distributed equitably, opportunities are accessible, and systems of justice are fair helps create societies where people feel secure and hopeful.
Environmental Stewardship: Nations prioritizing renewable energy, conservation, and long-term ecological balance tend to create environments that are sustainable and nurturing, where future generations can thrive.

Creating Suffering and War ("Hell on Earth"):
Corruption and Exploitation: Corrupt governance, when resources are misappropriated or squandered, often leads to economic collapse, unemployment, and social unrest. The burden of mismanagement and excess debt can ripple through generations.
Inequity and Oppression: Countries that concentrate power and wealth in the hands of a few, while oppressing the majority, breed resentment and social fragmentation, leading to violence, civil wars, and suffering.
Military Aggression and Imperialism: Money spent on militarization and warfare fuels global conflicts, often benefiting powerful elites while leaving destruction and poverty in its wake. The oppressed are left vulnerable and marginalized.

Whether peace, prosperity, war, or suffering dominates the world often hinges on the choices made by individuals, governments, and societies. The metaphorical "heaven" and "hell" can indeed be seen in the physical realities of different nations.

How a country plans its finances reflects its priorities. An enlightened, sustainable budget can lead to peace, education, healthcare, and stability, while poor financial planning—especially with excessive borrowing—can lead to economic dependency and fuel conflicts that propagate suffering.

In essence, the "heaven" or "hell" we experience on Earth is largely the result of the decisions we collectively make. From how countries manage debt to how they allocate resources, every action shapes the global landscape of peace or conflict. It highlights the role of leadership, foresight, and collective responsibility in shaping a better future.

The Role of Annual Budgeting:

Absolutely, it depends on how a country stay away from getting caught with hutang keliling pinggang and paying high interests - ultimately this excess money will indirectly go to fuel wars around the world- oppressing the weak

So, it all depends how a country do the annual budgeting - excellent ones make progress to heaven for the whole nation; bad decision gets the nation to the wrong destination (hell for all)

Shhhhhh...........the founder of Judaism wouldn't have expected or predicted such an effect.

But, absolutely! Because clearly, the only way a religion that’s been around for over 1,400 years and spans billions of people could ever be weakened is by a secret conspiracy. Forget internal politics, economic challenges, or global dynamics—it must all be part of the grand Jewish plot. How else would anything happen in the world, right?

We are independent or in other words - have our own autonomy in many areas. Why?

People are not what they say, but what they do. So judge pmx not from his words, but his action (or inaction - in this case)

That kind of cruelty thingy doesn't apply here in Sarawak.....hehe

ZERO government sponsorship for political or non-STEM foundations.....until country becomes debt-free

Compromising Domestic Stability and Putting Unity at Risk: Malaysia’s domestic landscape is characterized by a delicate balance between its ethnically and religiously diverse populations—Malay Muslims, Chinese Buddhists, Indian Hindus, and others. Focusing too much on Middle Eastern issues, especially ones framed as Muslim versus non-Muslim conflicts, could risk polarizing Malaysian society. Malaysian unity relies on careful inter-religious and inter-ethnic harmony. Injecting external conflicts, which often emphasize religious divisions, may encourage radicalization or deepen internal rifts.

Gaji Tinggi Yang Tak halal: A mismatch between educational preparation and the demands of the modern economy leads to skewed expectations regarding basic pay. Young people may expect wages disproportionate to their skills or job role due to a sense of entitlement or lack of understanding of the market economy. This entitlement feeds into broader societal dissatisfaction and often leads to disillusionment when gig economy jobs do not meet these expectations.

ZERO redundant mega projects with lots of impact on national debt and little to no public benefit.

The state governments of Kelantan, Terengganu, and Pahang, as well as the Higher Education Minister, should be held accountable for this imbalance. The overproduction of graduates relative to the availability of skilled jobs points to a failure to control intake quotas, poor workforce planning, and misalignment of educational output with regional job markets. The absence of adequate job matching, community communication, and budget planning exacerbates unemployment and forced migration. This lack of foresight and leadership has led to wasted potential and must result in accountability, including the sacking of responsible officials.

The World Bank report on Malaysia paints a truly inspiring picture of government efficiency in the East Coast—Kelantan, Terengganu, and Pahang. Over five glorious years from 2018 to 2023, fewer than 50,000 highly skilled jobs were created annually. Yet, with remarkable foresight, the Ministry of Higher Education churned out between 200,000 to 350,000 graduates each year, competing fiercely for these jobs. Clearly, we are witnessing the art of overproduction perfected.

Compromising Delayed Entrepreneurial Potential: University graduates spend years acquiring academic credentials, often with the assumption that a degree leads to guaranteed employment. However, this extended academic path can delay the development of entrepreneurial instincts. In many cases, individuals with a natural inclination for business or innovation could have started their ventures earlier, accumulating real-world experience instead of spending additional years in a classroom for a degree that may not translate into practical economic value.

Universities often churn out graduates in fields that are oversaturated or not aligned with local market demands. This creates an excess of degree holders competing for a limited number of jobs in industries that may not require their specific skills. Meanwhile, entrepreneurship can directly address market gaps, providing solutions that are more relevant to the local economy. By focusing too heavily on producing graduates for traditional roles, localities miss out on potential businesses that could have been started earlier.

Just as producing unneeded technocrats wastes resources, so does the push for university degrees in fields where there are limited job opportunities. The time and money spent on education could have been redirected into building businesses that create jobs, stimulate local economies, and foster innovation. By steering capable individuals into academic paths instead of encouraging early entrepreneurship, we lose the economic contributions they could have made as business owners.
