Making sugar *haram* in Malaysia would be a bold move, but it is a necessary one considering the public health crisis the country faces. By framing the issue within the context of Islamic principles—such as the protection of life, moderation, and the prevention of harm—this argument suggests that it is not only rational but morally and religiously justified to regulate or even forbid sugar. Malaysia, as a country with a significant Muslim population, has the opportunity to lead the way in setting an example for how Islamic law can be applied to modern public health challenges.

Malaysia faces a growing epidemic of obesity and diabetes, with sugar being a major contributor. According to statistics, Malaysia has one of the highest rates of diabetes in Asia, largely driven by the overconsumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and processed foods. Obesity, in turn, increases the risk of other metabolic diseases, including cardiovascular problems, hypertension, polycystic ovary and even certain cancers.

VETO POWER: Sarawak MUST be granted veto power to block any unilateral constitutional amendments by Peninsular Malaysia.

Yes, how they produce the $.....Printing, right? You want banana notes kah? Pas only sweet talk and make believe untuk orang kampung saja lah

No need. Not him. Those who disown their ancestral roots have already distanced themselves from the values and legacy of their forebears, may indeed feel little to no discomfort in shame or such a loss.

He lost all his 150 bets.....cannot take back money......and pejuang terus bungkus pula. Anyone should listen to him? Believable?

Sarawak provides a superior model for interracial integration and harmony compared to Peninsular Malaysia due to its deep-rooted cultural diversity, inclusive governance, and strong intercommunal relationships. Ethnic groups in Sarawak have historically coexisted with mutual respect and less racial division, supported by policies focused on equitable development rather than race-based preferences. The state also enjoys remarkable religious tolerance, with families often practicing different faiths. Power-sharing in government and communal living traditions further reinforce social cohesion. Unlike the Peninsular, where segregation in education and urban living contributes to ethnic tension, Sarawak’s integrated schools and communities foster early intercultural interactions, building long-lasting harmony. Sarawak exemplifies a more organic and sustainable model of national unity.

Jakim was established in 1997 to oversee Islamic affairs, but its influence is generally limited to Peninsular Malaysia. There has been growing concern, however, over the years that the federal government’s centralization efforts, including Jakim's activities, may infringe upon the autonomy of Sarawak in religious and cultural matters.

Unity Minister: From rightful KPI of -50% to potentially +100%

Stop makan gaji buta. Diversity is both our strength and its vulnerability. Prioritizing interracial relationships by mandating that the Unity Ministry reviews all proposals, initiatives, and legal drafts before public discussion or cabinet deliberation is a proactive approach to ensuring national unity. It will help build a more integrated, peaceful, and prosperous Malaysia, where all races work together towards common goals.

SARAWAK IS GEARING FORWARD (LEAVING PENINSULAR BEHIND) WITH GOVERNANCE PAR EXCELLENCE: Fundamentalism in politics creates environments where religious dogma dominates public life, curtails freedoms, fosters division, and often leads to undemocratic governance. The blending of fundamentalist ideology with political power challenges modern principles of equality, justice, and rational governance.

Fostering Mutual Respect through Food: Food has always been a powerful medium for bringing people together. By creating spaces where all Malaysians can dine together without concerns about exclusion based on religious or spiritual dietary restrictions, JAKSIM-certified eateries could help bridge cultural divides and encourage mutual respect through shared meals.

My granddaughter in USA has been in that field over 20 years- you'll see (better believe it)

jakimm stagnation vs JAKSIM progress

Reducing Inequality, Eradicate Poverty and Promoting Sustainability faster than peninsular: Alongside STEM education, Sarawak would invest in social reforms that reduce economic disparity, such as free or affordable education, healthcare, and access to renewable energy sources for all communities. By 2074, Sarawak could be a model of equitable development where resources are managed sustainably, and all citizens benefit from technological advancements. Its approach to reducing inequality would serve as a global template for balancing progress with fairness, helping to create a more unified world.

Global Unity and Ethical Transformation: With State autonomy in education, we can commit to education reforms that emphasize cooperation, ethical resource management, and social equity. Schools would teach the importance of global cooperation and shared responsibility in facing environmental and technological challenges. Sarawak’s education system could produce globally-minded citizens who contribute to international efforts in combating climate change, energy inequality, and poverty. Through collaborations with other nations and institutions, Sarawak could lead by example in showing how ethical governance, equitable resource management, and environmental consciousness can create sustainable prosperity.

Technological Innovations: AI, Space Exploration, and Smart Cities: Begin integrating AI and automation into education and daily life. Sarawak could adopt AI to manage energy consumption, optimize agricultural yields, and plan urban development.

By 2074, Sarawak could be a global hub for AI innovation, with AI-driven smart cities that are highly efficient in managing resources, transportation, and energy. Additionally, Sarawak could play a significant role in space exploration, with satellites and space research programs contributing to global knowledge of space colonization and energy harvesting from space. These technological advancements would also help drive humanity toward global unity, reducing competition over resources and focusing on collective survival.

Fusion and Energy Storage Mastery: Thanks to federal provision of billion dollars for JAKSIM, Sarawak can invest heavily in research and development of fusion technology and advanced energy storage systems. Education systems would prioritize engineering, quantum physics, and energy-related fields, with a particular emphasis on practical applications. By 2074, Sarawak could be at the forefront of fusion energy commercialization. Mastery of fusion power could allow the state to create virtually limitless clean energy, greatly reducing reliance on fossil fuels and curbing global warming. This energy surplus could catalyze advancements in other sectors such as space exploration, AI, and smart city infrastructure, contributing to humanity's journey toward becoming a Type 1 civilization.

Environmental Stewardship and Climate Change Mitigation: By embedding environmental ethics in its education system, Sarawak could train future leaders in eco-friendly urban design, conservation biology, and sustainable agriculture. Initiatives such as reforestation, biodiversity preservation, and carbon capture could be key focus areas. Sarawak could be globally recognized as a biodiversity and sustainability hub by 2074, contributing significantly to global carbon reduction goals. With vast forests and rich ecosystems, Sarawak could become a living model of balancing human progress with environmental preservation, influencing global climate policies and practices.

Renewable Energy Leadership: By 2074, Sarawak’s mastery of clean energy, particularly fusion power, would allow it to generate enough energy to supply local and regional needs.

Sarawak could pioneer large-scale, efficient, and environmentally responsible energy grids, advancing global cooperation in energy-sharing agreements, propelling humanity toward Type 1 status.

To delearn & relearn: A good start in their reprogramming would be to teach these children the scientific truth about shared human ancestry, genetics, and the common struggles and triumphs of humanity. Education based on truth can dismantle harmful ideologies, foster genuine empathy, and promote unity by helping children understand that they are part of a global human family, bound by shared DNA, history, and destiny. This is the path toward greater compassion, understanding, and lasting peace.

The Urgent Need for Education Reform

Restoring Personal Responsibility: To counter this manipulation, there must be a clear separation of religious and political power. Secular governance ensures that individuals are held accountable for their actions without hiding behind religious justifications for irresponsible or harmful behavior.

Promoting Genuine Morality: By keeping faith separate from political authority, religious teachings can focus on promoting genuine moral responsibility—values like accountability, care for the vulnerable, and personal integrity. This helps prevent the exploitation of faith for personal or societal gain.

When the mind is controlled by wolves in sheep’s clothing—exploitative leaders who manipulate faith for their own ends—almost any behavior can be justified, no matter how harmful or irresponsible. This manipulation can lead to a society where personal accountability is eroded, and irresponsibility, like fathering 34 children without providing for them, is excused through twisted religious justifications. The separation of power and religion is crucial to prevent such moral decay and to ensure that individuals are held accountable for their actions, with faith serving as a source of genuine moral guidance, not a tool for manipulation.

The Consequences of Moral Manipulation

Cultural Acceptance of Irresponsibility: When exploitative religious rhetoric justifies irresponsibility, it can normalize these behaviors in society. People begin to accept such actions as part of the social fabric, no longer questioning the harm done to others, particularly those who are vulnerable.

The Erosion of Social Responsibility

Undermining Personal Accountability: When religion is used as a political tool, it can erode the value of personal responsibility. Individuals may be led to believe that their actions are not their own to control, and that they are merely fulfilling a "divine" plan. This can lead to moral passivity, where they ignore the real-world implications of their behavior on others.

Excusing Irresponsible Behavior: In this manipulated mindset, individuals may absolve themselves of the duty to provide for their families or communities, believing that religious adherence or faith alone is sufficient. The neglect of practical responsibilities, like providing for children or nurturing them, can be excused by claiming that these tasks fall outside of their divine obligations.

Irresponsibility Framed as Righteousness

Twisting Morality: When religious teachings are co-opted by exploitative leaders, they can be twisted to justify any behavior, even those that are deeply harmful. For example, a man who fathers 34 children without providing for their well-being could justify his actions by claiming that "God will provide" or that his role is solely to reproduce without the need for active parental responsibility.

Avoiding Consequences: The manipulated mind may genuinely believe that their actions are excusable, leading to a cycle of irresponsibility that causes harm to the most vulnerable—like children in this case—without facing societal consequences or moral self-reflection.

The Role of Manipulative Authority

Shifting Accountability: In this manipulated mindset, personal accountability is often sidelined. Religious or ideological rhetoric may paint irresponsibility as an act of faith or submission to higher powers, leading people to avoid responsibility for the consequences of their actions.

When the mind is controlled by “wolves in sheep’s clothing”—those who present themselves as moral or religious authorities but are, in reality, manipulative and self-serving—it can lead to the justification of actions that defy ethical responsibility. In such cases, individuals can be manipulated into accepting or perpetuating destructive behaviors, often believing them to be justified or aligned with faith.

In the context opposite to the separation of power and religion, where religious authority is intertwined with political and social control, harmful behaviors like extreme irresponsibility may be framed as acceptable or even virtuous. One striking example is the case of a man who fathers 34 children but takes no meaningful responsibility for providing for or raising them decently. In a society where religious and moral justifications are twisted, even such reckless actions can be seen as justified or permissible.

Programs must focus on helping children rebuild their capacity for independent thought. This includes teaching them how to question, analyze, and reflect on the ideas they've been taught. Indoctrinated children often suffer emotional trauma. Providing counseling, emotional support, and mentorship is crucial to helping them understand their own emotions and thoughts.

By maintaining this boundary, societies can create an environment where faith flourishes independently, and governance remains just, and the expenditure of borrowed money is accountable to all.

Real Progress Through Modernised Governance: Governments that remain free from religious influence can implement reforms based on societal needs, human rights, and scientific advancement. Separation allows for a more flexible and progressive approach to policy-making, ensuring that all citizens benefit from modern advancements and social justice.

Maintaining Political Accountability

Unjust Policies Hidden Behind Religion: When religion becomes intertwined with government, leaders can cloak their actions in religious justification, making it difficult to hold them accountable. If policies are claimed to be divinely inspired or mandated by faith, criticism of those policies can be framed as heresy or an attack on religion itself, stifling open political discourse.

Encouraging Transparency and Accountability: A government that functions independently of religious institutions is more accountable to its people. Secular governance ensures that policies are debated, challenged, and modified based on their merits rather than on religious dogma. This transparency is vital for democracy, where citizens must be able to question their leaders and institutions without fear of religious reprisal.

Preventing Political Manipulation of Religion

Religion as a Tool for Manipulation: History is filled with examples of political leaders using religion to manipulate the masses. This can take the form of framing political opponents as "anti-faith" or using religious symbols and rhetoric to gain popular support. When religion is linked to political power, it can obscure rational debate and policy-making by shifting the focus to emotional or theological issues.

Policy Based on Evidence, Not Belief: Governance should be grounded in evidence-based policymaking. When religious principles are used to justify laws, especially in areas like healthcare, education, or civil rights, it can lead to decisions that harm the population and restrict freedoms. Separation allows governments to focus on practical, inclusive solutions to societal problems without being clouded by religious doctrine.

Preserving Religious Integrity: Lessons from History

Faith as Personal Guidance: Religion’s primary function is to provide spiritual and moral guidance, helping individuals make ethical decisions. By remaining separate from political power, religious institutions can focus on their moral and spiritual missions without being influenced by the shifting tides of political interests.

Co-opting Religion for Power: When governments allow religion to be used to justify political agendas, it often leads to the manipulation of religious beliefs. Leaders may exploit faith to legitimize unjust policies, suppress dissent, or maintain control over specific groups. This undermines the credibility of religious institutions, turning them into tools of the state rather than protectors of moral principles.

The Necessity of Separation: No Government Institutions or Agencies Should Hinder the Separation of Power and Religion

The separation between religious authority and political or economic power is a cornerstone of modern democratic societies. It ensures that faith remains a source of personal moral guidance rather than a tool of manipulation in the hands of political actors. When religious authority intertwines with political agendas, it compromises the integrity of both institutions, often leading to the co-option of faith for purposes of control, exclusion, and exploitation.

For this reason, it is imperative that no government institutions or agencies hinder the separation of power and religion. Any such interference can erode democratic principles, endanger civil liberties, and foster the misuse of religion for political and economic gains.

The Path to Progress: Building Just Systems To Prosper

Separation of Power and Religion: Ensuring a clear separation between religious authority and political or economic power can help safeguard against the co-option of faith. When religion is used to justify political agendas, it becomes a tool for manipulation rather than a source of moral guidance.

Calling a spade a spade (honesty)- calling out loud: The False Defenders of Faith (Wolves in Sheep's clothing)

False defenders of faith are leaders or institutions that claim to represent moral or religious righteousness while secretly serving their own interests or those of the economic and political elite. They promote the status quo, shielding systems of oppression behind a veneer of sacred duty. They wield their religious authority to convince the poor that suffering is noble or divinely sanctioned, all the while benefiting from systems that exploit labor, restrict freedoms, and concentrate wealth in the hands of the few.

The Real Threat Of 21st Century: Protecting Exploitation

Economic and Social Stagnation: Leaders who claim to defend the faith often serve as gatekeepers of inequality. They use religious dogma to justify keeping resources concentrated in the hands of a few, hindering the equitable distribution of wealth. By opposing modern reforms—whether it be in education, healthcare, or gender equality—these "defenders" contribute to the widening gap between rich and poor.

Cultural Decline: By rejecting progress and clinging to rigid interpretations of faith or tradition, these leaders prevent societies from evolving. In doing so, they not only stifle economic growth but also cultural vibrancy. The rejection of science, innovation, and critical thinking leads to a shrinking influence on the global stage, leaving societies vulnerable to exploitation by external forces.

The Power of Liberation Through Real (non-pasy) Knowledge

In societies where these so-called defenders hold sway, one of the most effective ways to break free from exploitation is through education. Providing access to quality, unbiased education allows individuals to develop critical thinking skills and empowers them to question the systems that keep them oppressed. As other parts of the world advance, the most critical defense against exploitation is knowledge.

Rejecting the Narrative of Fear: These defenders often thrive by instilling fear—fear of progress, fear of losing faith, fear of societal collapse. However, history shows that societies flourish when they embrace change, not fear it. By questioning these narratives and rising above the propaganda of religious exploitation, societies can chart a path towards equality, justice, and prosperity.

Action for Change: Society Must Rise

The urgency for change cannot be overstated. The longer societies allow themselves to be ruled by those who use faith to defend exploitation, the harder it will be to escape poverty and the further behind they will fall in an increasingly interconnected world. Time, as the old saying goes, waits for no man, and the opportunity for progress is slipping away with every moment of inaction. True faith should be a source of empowerment, love, and community, not a tool for oppression and exploitation. Societies must embrace the progressive, compassionate elements of their faith and reject those who would twist it for their own selfish ends.

A Global Perspective: Moving Forward or Being Left Behind

Societies that fail to challenge exploitative systems will find themselves isolated—not just economically, but also culturally. As global citizens connect and learn from one another, isolated societies risk becoming relics of the past, unable to compete or participate in the shared wealth of knowledge and resources. As the rest of the world moves forward, developing new technologies, building stronger economies, and improving living standards, societies stuck in cycles of exploitation will only fall further behind. Economic isolation, lack of innovation, and the suppression of individual potential will trap future generations in poverty, while the rest of the world enjoys unprecedented growth and prosperity.

No rocket science- the path to escaping poverty lies in rejecting those who falsely claim to defend faith while in reality defending systems of exploitation. By doing so, societies can embrace progress, equity, and prosperity, ensuring a better future for all.

Let Sarawak lead the way toward transitioning Earth to a Type 1 civilization on the Kardashev scale by pioneering renewable energy solutions and environmental stewardship. Through mastery of global energy, especially fusion and storage systems, and mitigating climate change, we can ensure sustainability. Technological innovations like AI, space exploration, and smart cities will support this evolution. Sarawak’s example of cooperation, resource management, and education can guide global unity and ethical transformation, reducing inequality and promoting long-term sustainability. Together, we can create a future-ready civilization, positioning humanity to harness all Earth’s energy for a prosperous tomorrow.
