Fundamentalist ideologies reject scientific discoveries, especially when they conflict with literal interpretations of sacred texts or core principles. For instance, some religious fundamentalists dismiss evolutionary theory or climate science despite overwhelming evidence, clinging to older beliefs instead.

Irrationality arises when individuals experience cognitive dissonance—holding conflicting beliefs or attitudes—yet refuse to reconcile them. Rather than adjusting beliefs in the face of contradictory evidence, fundamentalists might double down on their convictions or reinterpret evidence in ways that fit their worldview.

Fundamentalist thinking tends to be black-and-white, with little room for nuance or complexity. This inflexibility often leads to an "us vs. them" mentality, where alternative viewpoints are seen as threats. Irrational behavior may involve demonizing opponents or refusing to engage in meaningful dialogue.

Fundamentalism often roots itself in fear—fear of societal change, loss of tradition, or erosion of power. This fear can lead to irrational reactions, such as clinging to outdated practices or promoting conspiracy theories to justify resistance to progress.

Promoting sense and sensibility among school learners in a pluralistic society is far more important and unifying than emphasizing religion. In a diverse society, students come from various cultural, religious, and ethnic backgrounds, each with its own belief systems. Focusing on religion in schools risks deepening divisions and fostering a sense of "otherness" among students of different faiths. Instead, nurturing critical thinking, empathy, and respect for differences can create a shared framework for unity and cooperation.

The mentality of objectifying women stems from deep-rooted societal, cultural, and psychological factors. It involves reducing women to their physical attributes or treating them as objects for sexual gratification, rather than as individuals with autonomy, emotions, and complexity. This objectification is often reinforced by media, pornography, social norms, and sometimes even institutional structures.

Threat to Human Rights of the 21st Century Standard: Fundamentalist politics often imposes strict adherence to specific religious doctrines, which can restrict personal freedoms, particularly in areas like freedom of speech, gender equality, and minority rights. For example, women's rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and freedom of religious belief or non-belief can be suppressed under fundamentalist regimes.

Toxicity: In a political landscape influenced by fundamentalism, dissent and open debate can be stifled. Those who challenge or question the prevailing religious or ideological dogmas may be silenced or punished, creating an environment where critical thinking and intellectual diversity are not welcome.

Polarization and Division: Fundamentalism often divides society into 'us vs. them,' where only those who follow the rigid religious or ideological interpretation are considered legitimate. This polarizes communities, creating social tensions, and sometimes even violent conflicts, as seen in countries where political and religious divides exacerbate instability.

Undermining Rational Policy-Making: Fundamentalist perspectives can influence policies based on religious doctrine rather than rational, evidence-based approaches. This can negatively impact areas like education, healthcare, and economic development, where religious priorities override scientific reasoning or the common good.

Countries influenced by fundamentalism may adopt policies that put them at odds with international norms on human rights, democracy, and cooperation. This can lead to global isolation, economic sanctions, and reduced foreign investment, further exacerbating poverty and underdevelopment.

PROGRESSIVE EDUCATION, MORALITY AND LIVING VALUES: Sawarak is coming up with the next blueprint consistent with the 21st Century Education Standard to End The Mentality of Objectifying Women In the Future Generation.
Educating the young to prevent the objectification of women is both preventive and salvageable through a comprehensive approach that involves schools, parents, media literacy, and peer influence. The key is fostering empathy, respect, and critical thinking while providing them with tools to recognize and reject objectification in all forms. By raising awareness early on, societies can nurture a generation that values individuals for their full humanity, rather than reducing them to mere objects or sweets madu sugar babes.

And you see, while we Dayaks in Borneo watch the three main tribes fighting in peninsular, we win:
In a serene pond, three fish lived together in harmony, sharing the bounty of the waters. They were content, as food was plentiful, and the pond provided shelter and peace. But one day, as they swam in the clear waters, they began to notice that food was becoming scarce.
The first fish, full of pride, claimed that he had found a secret spot in the pond where all the best food could be found. The second fish grew jealous and demanded to know where it was. The third fish, seeing the growing tension, tried to calm them both, suggesting that they could share the pond as they always had.
But the quarrel only intensified. The first fish refused to reveal his secret, the second fish grew angrier, and even the third fish, once wise, became caught up in the conflict, fearing he might lose out on his share of food.
As the fish argued, a sly crab nearby overheard their fight. He approached them and offered to arbitrate, promising to fairly distribute the food among them if they would trust him. Desperate and blinded by their own greed, the fish agreed.
One by one, the crab took bits of food, telling each fish that he was mediating their dispute. But in reality, the crab was slowly consuming the fish's food, leaving them with almost nothing. By the time the fish realized what had happened, the crab had devoured most of their food, and the once plentiful pond was empty.

FAIR ALLOCATION OF TAX PAYERS' MONEY TO SARAWAK - AS EQUAL PARTNER. It is high time for each equal partner to Malaysia, specifically Sabah and Sarawak, to receive a substantial annual budget dedicated to the establishment of a new department akin to JAKIM (Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia), but instead, focused on the broader notion of spirituality for all Malaysians. This new entity, called JAKSIM (Jabatan Kemajuan Spirituality untuk Semua Malaysians), would represent a bold and inclusive step towards fostering national unity through a focus on spiritual well-being beyond specific religious boundaries.

The head of JAKIM (Department of Islamic Development Malaysia) and the Minister of Religious Affairs must face consequences for their failure to properly oversee and prevent the existence of GISHB's gruesome activities in Malaysia. The responsibility of these positions is not only to uphold Islamic principles and safeguard the moral compass of the country but also to ensure that any activities undermining public safety and societal ethics are promptly addressed.
In the case of GISHB, which has reportedly engaged in gruesome and immoral activities over several months, the failure to intervene raises serious questions about the competence and vigilance of the religious authorities. These bodies are entrusted with the moral and religious wellbeing of the nation, and negligence in this duty reflects a profound governance failure. If these activities were allowed to continue unchecked, it suggests either a lack of proper oversight or a dangerous complacency within these institutions.
Holding the leadership accountable is vital to restoring public confidence in the institutions meant to protect societal and religious values. Without clear accountability, there is a risk of further erosion of public trust in religious authorities, which could have wider implications for societal cohesion and the respect for religious governance in Malaysia. By allowing GISHB's actions to persist, the authorities have inadvertently permitted a breach of moral and ethical standards that they are mandated to protect. Hence, both the head of JAKIM and the Minister of Religious Affairs must be held responsible for their failure to act decisively in the face of such grave violations.

Sugar has been shown to have addictive properties, creating a cycle of craving that can be difficult to break. Research suggests that sugar can activate the brain's reward system in a similar way to addictive drugs, leading to compulsive consumption and dependency. This addiction is particularly concerning because it affects not only adults but also children, who are easily hooked on sugary foods and drinks.
