The one-size-fits-all approach fails to address individual learning needs, ignoring students' diverse strengths and interests. This uniformity stifles talent, leading to disengagement and a higher likelihood of students dropping out or underperforming.

Time wasted on irrelevant content—often rooted in dated pedagogies—further drains the potential for personal growth and intellectual curiosity. Instead of nurturing curiosity, students are taught to adhere to rigid structures, making education feel like a chore rather than an enlightening journey. As the world races forward, Malaysia’s national school system risks leaving its students behind, unprepared to compete on a global stage.

Schools in the 21st Century will fail if the curiculum is to make the children's thinking restricted, cognition become rgid and mind deluded. The overemphasis on memorization and regurgitation of facts without fostering creativity or problem-solving skills creates a generation of passive learners who lack the ability to think independently. This results in students becoming compliant and uncritical, traits that do little to prepare them for real-world complexities or the rapidly evolving job market, which increasingly values adaptability, analytical thinking, and innovation

At its core, an education system should empower students to think critically, innovate, and thrive in an increasingly globalized world. However, the current system, burdened by outdated curricula, rigid teaching methods, and an excessive focus on rote learning, inhibits children's potential and leaves them ill-prepared for future challenges.

Given the systemic issues in national schools – from cheating and lack of integrity to the erosion of academic standards and resistance to reform – i.e. these institutions are beyond repair. Instead of pouring resources into a broken system, it may be more pragmatic to allow these schools to phase out and replace them with a model based on the vernacular school system. By doing so, Malaysia could potentially build a more inclusive, meritocratic, and academically rigorous education system that better prepares its students for the future.

Science unites, fundamentalism divides
Fundamentalist indoctrination promotes an us-vs-them mentality, where those who do not share the same beliefs are viewed with suspicion or hostility. This can result in increased intolerance and a lack of empathy towards others, harming social cohesion and cooperation.

Failure to prepare learners for the next revolutionary dynamic workforce: The modern job market demands more than just knowledge—it requires the ability to adapt and apply that knowledge in various contexts. Schools should prepare students for this reality by focusing on skills like collaboration, creativity, and digital literacy. By fostering these skills, schools can help students become more versatile and capable in a rapidly changing work environment.

Justice (‘Adl): Justice is a central theme in the Qur'an.

Exploitation of Consumer Trust: The very foundation of halal certification is deemed to be a means to exploit the trust and piety of Muslim consumers. By formalizing halal in a way that was not scripturally mandated, companies and certifying bodies may have found a lucrative method to generate revenue by creating a perceived need for verification that previously did not exist. This aligns with capitalist strategies that manipulate consumer behavior to generate profit under the guise of ethical or religious compliance.

The "reptilian brain," referring to the brainstem and basal ganglia, governs basic survival instincts like fear, aggression, and dominance. In a highly indoctrinated individual, these instinctual responses become the primary mode of behavior. Rather than engaging in thoughtful deliberation or considering alternative viewpoints, he reacts with defensive aggression or blind allegiance, reminiscent of survival-based responses. This regression towards more instinctual, survival-oriented brain function is problematic in modern, complex societies. The underdevelopment of the PFC leaves individuals less equipped to navigate social, ethical, and intellectual challenges, making them more susceptible to manipulation and less capable of adaptive, empathetic, and innovative thinking. This dynamic contributes to societal problems such as groupthink, extremism, and authoritarianism, where nuanced reasoning and empathy give way to tribalism, fear, and hostility.

Heavy indoctrination discourages independent thought, critical questioning, and intellectual exploration. Instead, it often promotes obedience, conformity, and rigid adherence to a prescribed set of beliefs. Without the mental exercise of questioning, analyzing, and integrating diverse information, the PFC can become underutilized, impairing its growth and development. This cognitive stagnation can cause individuals to rely more heavily on primitive, instinctual brain functions, often associated with the limbic system and what is colloquially called the "reptilian brain."

Indoctrination, particularly when it is rigid and extreme, can significantly affect cognitive development, especially during formative years when the brain is most plastic. The prefrontal cortex (PFC), responsible for higher-order functions like critical thinking, decision-making, problem-solving, and regulating emotions, matures gradually and is susceptible to environmental influence. When indoctrination dominates an individual's environment, it may stifle the development of these essential functions, resulting in underdevelopment of the PFC.

Exposing wolves in sheep's clothing: Vested Interests and Capitalism: The rise of halal certification can be argued to have economic motivations. As global trade expanded, particularly in the food and consumer goods sectors, the halal label became a powerful tool for businesses to access Muslim markets. Companies and certification bodies began to capitalize on the religious beliefs of consumers, turning halal into a profitable industry. This institutionalization of halal can be seen as part of unscrupulous capitalism, where businesses seek to maximize profit by creating the need for certification, often charging high fees for certification processes that might not have religious necessity.

The focus has shifted from the spiritual essence of halal to a corporate-driven model of consumption -
Commercialization of Faith: The commercialization of halal certification extends beyond food, affecting industries like pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and even finance. It has created a monopolistic environment where only certified products are deemed acceptable by many consumers, even when the actual production process might adhere to halal principles without certification. This suggests that halal certification benefits certain capitalist entities, rather than being a religious requirement.

These religious texts define what is halal (permissible) and haram (forbidden), but they do not outline a bureaucratic system of certification. The emphasis is on individual responsibility and awareness of what is consumed.

Sincerity and Purpose:
The sincerity behind following halal is as important as the practice itself. If a person follows halal rules for appearance's sake, without genuine belief in their ethical purpose, the practice loses its significance. Sincerity ensures that halal is not just an outward act but an expression of one's inner commitment to living a moral and upright life.

Compassion and Ethical Treatment : Halal practices, such as halal slaughter, emphasize humane treatment of animals. However, without compassion, the technical adherence to halal procedures can become robotic, devoid of the ethical considerations that should accompany it. Compassion ensures that the purpose behind halal—such as reducing suffering—remains central to the practice. In the same way, a halal-certified business must show compassion to employees and customers, treating them with respect and dignity.

Forced leaping before learning to walk? Integrity and Personal Accountability: The integrity of an individual or institution determines how meaningful halal practices truly are. A person who follows halal rules outwardly but lacks personal accountability or integrity undermines the very spirit of halal. Without integrity, halal becomes superficial—a set of rules one can bend or manipulate as long as they maintain a facade of compliance. Halal, when paired with integrity, ensures that a person is not only adhering to the letter of the law but also embodying its spirit, acting ethically even when no one is watching.

Justice and Fairness in Transactions: Halal in business transactions goes beyond avoiding *riba* (interest) and *gharar* (excessive uncertainty). The core value is fairness. Without a strong emphasis on justice, halal practices could easily be manipulated. For example, a transaction may technically follow halal guidelines but exploit workers or deceive buyers.

Setting Wrong Priority - Getting The Nation Nowhere: Mechanics vs. Morality: Halal, when reduced solely to following rules—such as ensuring food is slaughtered in a certain way or that financial transactions avoid interest—can become an act of compliance devoid of deeper meaning.
