The concerns expressed here reflect frustrations over the prioritization of resources and aid for foreign nationals, specifically Palestinians from Gaza, over the welfare of Malaysians. The metaphor "bagai kera di hutan diberi susu, anak di rumah mati kelaparan" suggests a situation where outsiders are prioritized while local citizens suffer, likening it to feeding monkeys in the forest while one's own children starve at home. This perspective criticizes Malaysian politicians for extending medical treatment and hospitality to Palestinians, potentially neglecting pressing local needs.
Additionally, the reference to Singapore's refusal to accept refugees is used as an example of a policy that focuses on internal prosperity by not spending on non-citizens. Singapore's financial discipline, infrastructure, and refusal to take on the burden of refugees are credited for its economic success. This comparison is drawn to highlight perceived inefficiencies in Malaysia’s spending, which is described as having a "first-class budget" but a "third-class mentality."
This critique touches on several key issues:
1. **Resource Allocation**: The core argument is that Malaysia should prioritize its own citizens, particularly in light of high national debt and economic challenges. The criticism suggests that by aiding Palestinians, Malaysia is neglecting its own people who may be struggling with healthcare, poverty, or unemployment.
2. **Political Leadership and Governance**: The notion of "first-class smartly self-serving korek korek leaders & frogliticians" alludes to political corruption and opportunistic behavior. It implies that Malaysia’s leadership is more focused on personal gain than addressing the needs of the population. "Frogliticians" refers to politicians who switch allegiances for personal or political advantage.
3. **Comparison to Singapore**: By citing Singapore, the argument suggests that Malaysia should emulate a more pragmatic approach, prioritizing economic growth and internal development over humanitarian efforts for non-citizens. The comparison underscores the belief that spending on foreign refugees diverts funds from domestic issues.
These viewpoints are part of a broader debate about national priorities, refugee policies, and political integrity. The sentiments reflect concerns that humanitarian aid might come at the expense of addressing critical issues within Malaysia itself, particularly in times of economic strain.

National Competitiveness: While Bahasa Melayu is essential for national cohesion and governance, English is critical for Malaysia’s competitiveness in the global marketplace. Countries that have prioritized English proficiency, such as Singapore, have seen significant economic gains and global recognition. Malaysians must similarly focus on mastering English to enhance their competitiveness on the global stage, especially in Southeast Asia, where competition for international investments and trade is fierce.

Cultural Relevance in a Globalized World: English is the dominant language in global media, entertainment, and communication. Being fluent in English allows Malaysians to engage with and participate in global conversations, trends, and cultures. Whether it’s consuming global news, using social media, or networking with people from different parts of the world, English connects Malaysians to international platforms and opportunities that extend far beyond their national borders.

Economic and Technological Competitiveness: Malaysia’s economy is closely tied to international markets, and sectors such as manufacturing, technology, and services rely heavily on English-speaking professionals. Proficiency in English is necessary to attract foreign investments, secure high-level partnerships, and keep pace with technological advancements. In industries such as IT, finance, and e-commerce, English is the default working language, making it critical for any Malaysian looking to thrive in these high-growth areas.

Access to Global Education and Knowledge: The majority of academic and research materials, especially in fields like science, engineering, and medicine, are published in English. Malaysian students aiming to excel in higher education or gain access to international universities need strong English skills to compete effectively. Furthermore, most online courses, technical literature, and even coding languages are predominantly available in English, making it essential for those aiming to pursue education and self-development globally.

While Bahasa Melayu is essential for internal communication and cultural identity, it does not provide the same breadth of opportunity on the international level. Success in the modern world increasingly depends on the ability to engage with global systems, and English is the key to unlocking these possibilities for Malaysians. Therefore, mastery of English is more important for securing long-term success, both within Malaysia and beyond

Reform for development of critical thinking as well as stopping indoctrination: Malaysia has little to gain and much to lose by entangling itself in the Middle East’s centuries-old religious and geopolitical conflicts. Its national interests lie in focusing on domestic stability, regional diplomacy, and economic growth. Instead of getting drawn into ideological wars rooted in distant histories, Malaysia should continue to act as a bridge between the Islamic world and the rest of the international community, promoting peace, stability, and cooperation on its own terms. By doing so, Malaysia can preserve its identity, foster unity, and ensure a prosperous future for all its citizens.

UTAR is known for offering high-quality education at an affordable cost, making tertiary education accessible to students from all socioeconomic backgrounds. A tax exemption would help reduce the university's operational costs, allowing it to maintain or even lower tuition fees. This would benefit students, especially those from lower-income families, and support national goals of improving access to education.

The failure of the public education system to address the mismatch between human evolution and the demands of the digital age can lead to undeserving high basic pay expectations, and contribute to socio-economic problems such as the rise in gig economy workers (e.g., GrabFood riders, Grab car drivers), drug addiction, juvenile delinquency, and disaffected youth.

Education Reform- Rewrite History Textbook for The Children's Welfare and Maturity -Historical Lessons: Avoiding Foreign Entanglements
Historically, nations that have become embroiled in foreign conflicts, especially those based on religious or ideological grounds, often find themselves facing unintended consequences. Malaysia can learn from the experiences of other countries that have suffered economically, politically, or socially due to involvement in foreign conflicts. Instead of getting caught up in the Middle East's “thousand-year-old” wars, Malaysia would do well to focus on neutrality, diplomacy, and conflict resolution, much like its previous successes in leading peace talks (e.g., in southern Thailand and the Philippines).

Illicit financial flows involve the transfer of money earned illegally to foreign accounts, often to evade taxes or launder money. Malaysia has been identified as one of the countries where significant sums have flowed out of the country illegally. According to Global Financial Integrity (GFI), Malaysia saw billions in illicit outflows over the years. These funds often find their way into tax havens, benefiting only a select few while reducing Malaysia’s economic growth potential and draining public investment.

HENGYUAN’s stock is known to be more volatile, offering higher potential returns during upswings but larger potential losses during downturns. HENGYUAN is more dependent on refining margins for profitability, making its earnings more volatile if crude oil prices or refining margins fluctuate. However, HENGYUAN’s profitability can soar during periods of strong margins.

The poor—those charming creatures—are perfectly content with a few bags of rice or the occasional fuel voucher. They don't need quality education or healthcare. Why bother with opportunities for growth or decent living conditions when handouts will do? They clearly enjoy staying in their humble bubbles of mediocrity, blissfully unaware of the world advancing around them.
Now, the rich—bless their ambitious souls—well, they’re far more demanding! They need world-class education, the best healthcare money can buy, cutting-edge jobs, and tax breaks on top of it all. Of course, the government has to “pilih kasih”—it’s only fair to prioritize those with endless appetites for advancement over the ones asking for basic survival, right?

The undeniable truth that only the poor are blessed with the sacred duty of sustaining the country’s population. Their superpower? An infinite ability to produce offspring! After all, why worry about luxuries like "food security," "education," or "healthcare" when you can just crank out more little citizens to save the economy from the impending doom of population shrinkage?
Meanwhile, the rich, those tragic workaholics, are simply too calculated and sensible. They’ve done the math, and apparently, with all that wealth, they just can’t afford children. All those vacations, investments, and high-end gadgets have drained their bank accounts. Raising even one child? An unthinkable extravagance! Imagine depriving themselves of another stock portfolio just to pay for school fees.
Naturally, it’s up to the hardworking, ever-reproducing poor to pick up the slack—because who else is going to grow up, pay taxes, and keep this glorious economy going? Truly, it’s a heroic contribution to society!

Malaysia’s long-term strategic plans emphasize the importance of education in building a knowledge-based economy. UTAR’s mission aligns with these goals, particularly in producing skilled graduates who can meet the demands of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Tax exemptions for UTAR would support the university's role in this national agenda, ensuring it continues to provide education that meets Malaysia's future workforce needs.

As a non-profit educational institution, UTAR reinvests any surplus income into improving facilities, enhancing academic programs, and supporting scholarships for students. A tax exemption would allow UTAR to better fulfill its mission by allocating more resources toward student scholarships, faculty development, and infrastructure, thereby improving the overall educational experience.

By emphasizing conflict over cooperation, Malaysia risks alienating potential business partners from outside the Islamic world, undermining its global economic standing.
Malaysia’s economy, though partly reliant on oil and natural gas exports, is highly diversified compared to many Middle Eastern countries. Getting embroiled in Middle Eastern political and military conflicts could jeopardize Malaysia’s economic interests, particularly if such involvement were to damage trade relations with major global powers or disrupt Malaysia’s ties with countries on both sides of the ideological divide.

Not to the interest of Sarawak- Malaysia, as an independent and sovereign nation, should prioritize its own national interests above all else. While solidarity with the global Muslim ummah (community) is important for many Malaysians, it should not come at the expense of Malaysia’s sovereignty or ability to make independent foreign policy decisions. Getting too entangled in Middle Eastern conflicts—particularly those driven by historical grievances or sectarian rivalries—may compromise Malaysia's ability to chart its own course and prioritize what is best for its citizens.

The high evidentiary requirements for hudud punishments (e.g., four male witnesses for adultery) can lead to selective application when it is difficult to meet these standards. As a result, prosecutions may only occur when convenient or when selective witnesses are willing to come forward, leading to concerns about the manipulation of legal proceedings.
2 months ago | Report Abuse
Hudud laws can be selectively applied for political purposes, where certain individuals or groups are prosecuted to maintain power, suppress opposition, or appease conservative factions. This undermines the integrity of the legal system and creates a perception that religion is being used as a tool for political gain, rather than for justice.

In practice, women may face harsher penalties or are more likely to be prosecuted under hudud laws, particularly for crimes such as adultery. For example, cases of adultery or sexual misconduct can lead to the prosecution of women based on pregnancy, while men might avoid punishment due to a lack of direct evidence. This uneven application results in an imbalanced legal system, which further victimizes women.

Selective prosecution and punishment under hudud law is a significant concern in the broader context of justice and fairness. Hudud, derived from Islamic jurisprudence, refers to specific punishments for crimes such as theft, adultery, false accusation, and apostasy. The strict and fixed nature of hudud punishments makes selective enforcement especially problematic, as the law is meant to apply equally to all.
