Since such a ministerial post was created, the achieved KPI has been consistently negative 50 percent (-50%). It's existence for what??????

Religiosity may suit those who seek structured guidance, a sense of communal identity, or a way to align with a tradition. For such individuals, religion provides a clear roadmap to moral living, answers to existential questions, and social cohesion. However, for others, religiosity may feel restrictive or dogmatic. Some may struggle with the institutional aspects of religion, such as rules and interpretations, leading to alienation or discomfort.

Spirituality: Personal and Inclusive: Spirituality is more personal and often broader. It refers to an individual’s sense of connection with something greater than oneself, whether that’s God, the universe, nature, or the collective consciousness of humanity. Spirituality emphasizes inner experiences and can be more inclusive and flexible, without being tied to specific doctrines or practices. This makes it accessible to a wider range of individuals, regardless of cultural or religious background. Because spirituality does not require formal affiliation with a religion, it is appealing to those who seek meaning or purpose without necessarily subscribing to organized belief systems.

Religiosity vs. Spirituality: Diversity of Needs : People have different psychological, emotional, and cultural needs. Religiosity offers certainty, communal rituals, and ethical codes, which can be comforting to those who prefer clear guidance. Conversely, spirituality offers freedom to explore meaning in a way that resonates on a personal level. It allows for flexibility and adaptation to individual beliefs and circumstances, which may be appealing to those who question or reject formal institutions.

Universal Appeal of Spirituality: Spirituality taps into the common human experience of seeking purpose, connectedness, and inner peace. It can resonate with believers and non-believers alike because it is rooted in personal experience rather than external authority. Practices like mindfulness, meditation, and gratitude—often associated with spirituality—transcend specific religious contexts and can be incorporated into anyone’s life, making them more universally accessible.

Religiosity serves as a suitable framework for those who prefer structure, tradition, and communal worship, while spirituality, being more fluid and individualized, can meet the universal human desire for transcendence, connection, and meaning.

Emphasizing strict religious orthodoxy limits the capacity for critical thinking, modern scientific advancements, and philosophical inquiry. By placing religious dogma over scientific thought, the party risks closing Malaysia off from global intellectual progress, mirroring the stagnation of Islamic civilization post-11th century when dogmatism overshadowed intellectual curiosity

While PAS claims to champion Islam, its narrow, conservative approach would push Malaysia towards a similar fate as that of the Islamic world after the 11th century—where rigid orthodoxy, rejection of pluralism, and intellectual stagnation led to the decline of a once-thriving civilization. Instead of fostering a renewed era of progress and enlightenment, PAS is steering the country toward an insular and divided society, detached from the global advancements that have historically marked the greatness of Islamic civilization. By doing so, Malaysia could see the end of its own version of an Islamic "golden age," with the country slipping into stagnation rather than thriving as a pluralistic, forward-thinking nation.

These leadership issues have contributed to a broader sense of economic decline and social fragmentation. Politicking has diverted attention from the urgent need for structural reforms in the economy, particularly in areas like inequality, wage stagnation, and the cost of living. Frequent political instability has led to a loss of investor confidence, exacerbating economic challenges.

Socially, the rise of ethno-religious identity politics, often fueled by political leaders for short-term gain, has deepened divisions within the country. This has had a significant impact on national unity, with increasing segregation in education and societal interactions along ethnic and religious lines. For instance, the continued politicization of *Bumiputera* policies and the marginalization of minority communities have worsened social cohesion.

Overall, the intertwining of politics, weak governance, and leadership issues underlines Malaysia's struggle to effectively address these challenges, leading to a vicious cycle of mistrust and stagnation.

Si jahil yang berlagak tahu" (Ignorant people pretending to be knowledgeable): In the context of governance, there have been instances where individuals appointed to key government roles lacked the necessary expertise. For example, criticisms have been levied at ministers in charge of important portfolios like health, education, and finance who were perceived as not fully understanding the complexity of the issues they were tasked with managing.
The previous education minister, for example, faced heavy criticism for the handling of the national education system, which is widely regarded as declining in quality. Malaysia’s performance in international assessments like PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) has shown stagnation or decline over the years, highlighting the growing concern over educational standards. The rise of racial and religious polarization in educational policies, coupled with an overemphasis on rote learning rather than critical thinking, has worsened the perception of incompetence in leadership.
In addition, concerns about leaders making uninformed or populist decisions, especially during times of crisis, have fueled this narrative. The handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly during the PN government's tenure, drew mixed responses, with criticisms directed at the inconsistency in policies and communication, contributing to further distrust in the leadership's competence.

Pengkhianat diberikan amanah" (Traitors being entrusted with responsibilities - to handle Covid-19, resulting in casually to pharma and country debt from 1 to 1.5 trillion dollar): The Sheraton Move in 2020, which led to the collapse of the PH government and the rise of *Perikatan Nasional* (PN), was seen by many as a betrayal of the people's mandate. The move, spearheaded by figures like Muhyiddin Yassin and Azmin Ali, reinforced the narrative that political leaders often act in self-interest rather than in service to the public.

Golongan pembohong menjadi pemimpin" (Liars becoming leaders): The government, led by Mahthir after the historic 2018 election, was criticized for not fully delivering on its reform agenda, particularly in areas such as institutional transparency and governance. The promise to abolish tolls, reduce the cost of living, and implement political reforms created high expectations, but when many of these promises were not realized, the credibility of leadership was questioned.

Hadi is correct - golongan pembohong menjadi pemimpin, pengkhianat diberikan amanah, dan si jahil yang berlagak tahu!

So we are ready to launch JAKSIM as soon as Jakimm cert is made compulsory - not unlike the analogy of launching Huawei Mate XT to rival iPhone 16

JAKSIM is ready for emerging Technologies and Innovations: Innovations in the food industry, such as lab-grown meat or plant-based alternatives, pose challenges for halal certification. Traditional halal standards may struggle to keep pace with these innovations, as they are rooted in centuries-old religious texts, while modern food safety standards are constantly evolving to embrace new technologies and scientific developments.

JAKSIM uses modern tech - In the 21st-century food industry, regular auditing, inspections, and real-time monitoring are critical to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations. Halal certification, in some cases, lacks the same level of stringent, frequent auditing, and may not fully integrate technological advancements like blockchain or smart tracking used in modern food safety protocols.

JAKSIM is well-aligned with the modern food industry that increasingly emphasizes transparency across the supply chain, driven by consumer demands for ethical sourcing, environmental sustainability, and detailed ingredient tracking.

JAKSIM is well-aligned with Modern food safety regulations, such as HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) or ISO standards, focus on minimizing contamination, ensuring product consistency, and promoting public health through science-backed practices.

Yes, this alternative is clearly better because JAKSIM incorporates the rigorous scientific, safety, and health protocols that modern food industry standards demand.

Unlike jakimm certification and its many exclusive, divisive and polarising agenda, JAKSIM will serve Malsia better towards a united, prosperous and corruption-free nation for the 21st Century to nagivate IR 4.0 & beyond

......but we need annual billion dollar budget like what jakim received, in order to run this alternative, except one at zero fees to applicants

No worries. We Sarawakian is working on JAKSIM certification - as an alternative to jakim (at zero fees and can get in one week)

Promoting Unity in Diversity: By establishing JAKSIM-certified eateries, Malaysia can promote a shared experience among people of various cultural and religious backgrounds. These certified eateries would encourage Malaysians to explore diverse culinary traditions and spiritual values, fostering mutual respect and understanding. Dining together in a space certified for pluralism could break down stereotypes and enhance harmony.

Empowering Sabah and Sarawak: By dedicating a substantial annual budget to Sabah and Sarawak, the government would recognize these regions as equal partners in the nation’s development. JAKSIM could serve as a platform to elevate the spiritual practices and traditions unique to the indigenous peoples of these states. This recognition would ensure that their voices and spiritual heritage are woven into the national fabric, contributing to a richer, more unified Malaysia.

Economic and Social Growth: The introduction of JAKSIM-certified eateries could boost the local economy by creating a new niche market for spiritually conscious dining experiences. These eateries would need to adhere to specific guidelines that honor various spiritual values, which could, in turn, attract both locals and tourists seeking meaningful, inclusive dining experiences. The growth of such businesses could further strengthen communal ties and provide employment opportunities.

Wake up unity minister!!- or relinquish post. Spiritual Well-Being and Mental Health:
A focus on spirituality can have profound effects on mental health and well-being. JAKSIM, as a department focused on holistic spirituality, could introduce programs and certifications that promote not just physical health but also emotional and spiritual balance. By ensuring that certified eateries provide food in line with these values, Malaysia could foster an environment where eating out is not just a social activity but also a spiritually enriching experience.

Unite we stand, divide we fall: Unlike bigotry & lopsidedJAKIMM, which is focused primarily on Islmic affairs and halal certification, JAKSIM would cater to a broader spectrum of spiritual well-being. This inclusiveness could create a dining environment where all Malaysians—irrespective of their religion, beliefs, or spiritual practices—feel represented. Sabah and Sarawak, being culturally diverse, would particularly benefit from such inclusivity, as this approach could integrate indigenous and other faiths into the national consciousness.

Ini saja jalan untuk menjernihkan keadaan (yang telah dikeruhkan oleh jakimm)...establishing JAKSIM would not only recognize the equal partnership of Sabah and Sarawak but also foster national unity, address modern spiritual needs, and create a more equitable distribution of resources. This department would provide Malaysians with a platform for inclusive spiritual growth, strengthening the moral fabric of the nation and helping it progress both economically and ethically.

Fostering Global Competitiveness through Moral and Spiritual Leadership: In an increasingly globalized world, nations are evaluated not only on economic or technological progress but also on their moral and ethical leadership. JAKSIM could position Malaysia as a global leader in promoting a balanced, ethical, and spiritually grounded society. Such an initiative could enhance Malaysia’s reputation as a peaceful, inclusive, and morally progressive nation.

Rebalancing Development Funds for Sabah and Sarawak: Historically, Sabah and Sarawak have not received the same level of infrastructure and social development funding as Peninsular Malaysia. Establishing JAKSIM with a multi-billion budget would be a significant step in rebalancing the allocation of resources. This department could support programs that are culturally specific to the regions, respecting indigenous practices while promoting spiritual progress in the broader Malaysian context.

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.

Letting Jakimm bulldoze it's way? The imposition of compulsory halal certification on all eateries could exacerbate polarization in Malaysia, leading to cultural fragmentation, economic strain on non-Muslim businesses, and a deterioration in social cohesion. A more inclusive and flexible policy would better serve Malaysia’s diverse population, promoting harmony and national unity.

The imposition of compulsory halal certification on all eateries could exacerbate polarization in Malaysia, leading to cultural fragmentation, economic strain on non-Muslim businesses, and a deterioration in social cohesion. A more inclusive and flexible policy would better serve Malaysia’s diverse population, promoting harmony and national unity.

This trend could also lead to cultural polarization, as halal certification becomes a marker of identity. The growing emphasis on certification may deepen the divide between religious and secular communities, especially in a nation that prides itself on pluralism. It can create a sense of exclusion for non-Muslim citizens who feel their business interests and lifestyles are being systematically sidelined.

The division created by halal certification has the potential to erode the delicate balance that has historically held Malaysia’s multiracial society together. Increased segregation of businesses, food choices, and even geographical spaces can fuel mistrust and weaken the shared sense of nationhood. This disunity is harmful not just to social harmony, but also to Malaysia’s economic development, which has long relied on diverse contributions from all ethnic groups.

The challenge for Malaysia moving forward is finding a balance between accommodating the religious requirements of its Muslim majority while maintaining inclusivity for non-Muslim citizens. Fostering mutual understanding, promoting cross-cultural business initiatives, and ensuring that religious regulations do not lead to economic or social exclusion will be critical.

The extension of halal certification beyond its traditional scope could further fragment Malaysian society along religious and cultural lines, particularly in diverse regions like Penang. This growing polarization threatens to undermine social unity, ultimately damaging the country’s future development and cohesion. A more inclusive approach that respects both religious needs and the rights of all citizens is necessary to prevent these negative outcomes.

Wil - very soon. You see - none of its tourist-focused eateries will pass the requirements for Halal certification (unless use bribery). This will lead to exodus of the conservatives from the island, leaving behind the progressive ones. This polarisation is inevitable and will prosper certain geographical areas (while others will have to live on the era before tech for clean water etc cetera)

Reputation of Ethnic Communities: Associating the use of a language with distrust or disloyalty could harm the reputation of Chinese and Indian communities, leading to defamation claims, particularly if the statement causes harm to the social standing or business opportunities of individuals within those communities.

Contradiction to National Values: The claim in question contradicts the foundational principles of mutual respect, harmony, and inclusivity. It undermines the collective effort toward national unity and integration.

Although the Rukun Negara is not a legally binding document, it outlines core values and principles meant to guide the nation, including the upholding of **"unity" and "diversity"** in society. Any action or statement that promotes division or undermines the unity of Malaysia's multicultural society goes against the spirit of the Rukun Negara.

Promotion of Racial Tension: By alleging that the use of non-Malay languages fosters distrust, such a statement could potentially stir up suspicion and animosity among ethnic groups, thereby violating the Sedition Act.

The Sedition Act 1948 criminalizes speech or actions that have the tendency to incite hatred against the government or to cause tension between different ethnic groups. A claim that suggests Chinese or Indians should not speak their mother tongues could be interpreted as inflammatory, especially if it promotes ethnic or racial discord.

Section 298A of the Penal Code: This provision makes it a criminal offense to cause disharmony, disunity, or feelings of enmity, hatred, or ill-will on the grounds of religion or race. A claim that unfairly targets Chinese or Indian Malaysians for speaking their languages could incite racial tension and be seen as an attempt to disrupt the peaceful coexistence of Malaysia's ethnic communities.

Freedom of Language as Expression: The Malaysian Constitution does not prohibit the use of any language, nor does it restrict communication in private spaces or informal settings. As such, attempting to curtail this freedom without legitimate grounds would infringe upon constitutional rights.

The claim that Chinese and Indian Malaysians conversing in their mother tongues causes distrust in the Malay community violates several legal and constitutional provisions. It contravenes **Articles 8, 10, and 152** of the Federal Constitution, which guarantee equality, freedom of expression, and protection of linguistic diversity. Additionally, such a claim could be seen as **inciting racial tension**, violating provisions under the **Penal Code and the Sedition Act**. Finally, the statement contradicts the spirit of the **Rukun Negara**, which emphasizes national unity and respect for Malaysia's diverse cultural and linguistic heritage.

Global Standards and Benchmarks: International assessments like the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) measure students' proficiency in these subjects globally. Reducing curriculum content could widen the performance gap between Malaysian students and their peers in countries with more rigorous standards, diminishing Malaysia's standing on the global stage.

Compromising Depth of Knowledge: By cutting the curriculum in half, students may not be able to explore topics in depth. Complex subjects like Science and Mathematics require comprehensive understanding, not superficial learning. The reduced content may force teachers to rush through important topics, preventing students from mastering fundamental concepts that are crucial for higher-level education and application in real-life problem-solving.
