Children must learn to spot lowly preachers who often ignore or dismiss this genetic evidence, which strongly supports evolutionary theory. Modern genetics has shown that all life on Earth shares a common genetic code, with humans sharing over 98% of their DNA with chimpanzees.

Children must learn to spot lowly preachers who often argue that mutations are harmful and cannot lead to increased complexity. While some mutations are harmful, others are neutral or beneficial and can lead to new traits that are advantageous, contributing to evolutionary change. Over time, beneficial mutations accumulate, leading to the development of complex organisms.

Children must learn to spot lowly preachers who often argue that natural selection cannot account for the complexity of life. However, natural selection is a process where organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring, driving evolution over time. The complexity of life can be explained by cumulative changes over millions of years, something he overlooks.

Children must learn to spot lowly preachers who often claim that there is no fossil evidence to support evolution, a statement that contradicts the vast amount of fossil records showing transitional forms. For example, the fossil record of early hominins demonstrates a clear evolutionary path from earlier species to modern humans.

Children must learn to spot lowly preachers who often dismiss evolution by stating it is "just a theory," implying that it's speculative or unproven. In scientific terms, a theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of evidence and multiple tests. The theory of evolution, like the atomic theory, is widely supported by extensive evidence across various scientific fields.

Children must learn to spot lowly preachers who often describe evolution as a process where one species suddenly changes into another (e.g., a monkey turning into a human). This is a fundamental misrepresentation. Evolution is a gradual process where small genetic changes accumulate over millions of years, leading to the diversity of life we see today. Humans did not evolve from monkeys but share a common ancestor with them.

Do's and Don'ts for educators to groom independent thinking individuals:

To Promote Curiosity and Questioning:

- Let children ask questions about everything. Respond with openness and curiosity rather than immediate answers. Help them explore possible answers themselves.
- Show how to ask thoughtful questions. Instead of giving direct answers, model how to explore different perspectives and evidence.

To Teach Critical Thinking
- Teach children how to assess information critically. Show them how to identify biases, evaluate sources, and consider different viewpoints.
- Introduce basic principles of logic and reasoning. Encourage them to understand cause and effect, recognize fallacies, and think through consequences.

To Provide Diverse Perspectives
- Expose children to a variety of perspectives on different topics, including culture, religion, and politics. Let them see that there are multiple ways to view the world.
- Create a safe environment for respectful debate and discussion. Let children practice defending their ideas and listening to others.

To Foster Independence
- Give children opportunities to make decisions on their own, even if it’s in small, age-appropriate ways. This builds confidence in their judgment.
- Encourage them to explore interests and passions without imposing predetermined paths or expectations.

To teach Emotional Intelligence
- Help children recognize their own emotions and understand how they influence their thinking. Teach them to separate emotions from logical reasoning.
- Encourage them to consider the feelings and perspectives of others, which helps in understanding and respecting differing viewpoints.

To Encourage Open-Mindedness
- Refrain from presenting any belief or idea as the absolute truth. Encourage a mindset that is open to change and new information.
- Teach children to question their own assumptions and the assumptions of others, fostering a mindset that is adaptable and open.

To Promote Intellectual Humility
- Show that it’s okay not to have all the answers and that uncertainty is a part of the learning process.
- Emphasize the importance of continuous learning and revising opinions in light of new evidence.

To Create a Safe Space for Mistakes
- Encourage children to see mistakes as learning opportunities rather than something to be feared or avoided.
- Help them reflect on what went wrong and how they can improve, fostering a growth mindset.

To Limit External Influences
- Teach children how to critically evaluate media, advertising, and social media. Show them how these sources can influence opinions and behavior.
- Be mindful of the types of content they are exposed to, and ensure it aligns with the values of open-mindedness and critical thinking.

To Be a Role Model
- Demonstrate independent thinking in your own life. Show how you question, evaluate, and revise your own beliefs.
- Show respect for their growing autonomy, allowing them to come to their conclusions, even if they differ from your own.

By fostering these qualities and practices, children can develop into adults who think independently, critically evaluate information, and make informed decisions without being swayed by indoctrination.

Musk's decision to cancel opening Tesla in Msia involves several factors, including geopolitical considerations. Msia's busybody sibuk jaga tepi kain orang lain stance and involvement in the Palestinian-Israeli crisis and the resultant boycotts of American companies like McDonald's and KFC were perceived as significant, Musk, known for his strategic business moves and attention to geopolitical climates, views Msia's stance on international conflicts and its tendency to engage in boycotts as indicative of a volatile business environment. The boycotts of global brands such as McDonald's and KFC, driven by political sentiments,signal potential risks for Tesla's brand and operations. Concerns about public perception, potential backlash, and the stability of consumer markets make Msia an unattractive option compared to other more politically neutral or stable regions. Additionally, the interference of local politics in business operations could be seen as a deterrent. If the political climate is perceived as one where government or public interference could negatively impact business operations, it might dissuade Tesla from investing in the country. In this scenario, Musk might prefer to focus on markets with a more predictable and stable environment, minimizing risks associated with political and social instability.

Parents have the primary responsibility for the upbringing and development of their children, as recognized by international human rights standards. Covert conversion undermines this fundamental right and responsibility. Introducing a significant religious change without parental involvement can create rifts within families, leading to conflicts and a breakdown in family unity.

Sincere inclusivity, Sense of Connectedness and Natural Unity

Schools have the foremost responsibility in promoting an inclusive atmosphere where every student feels equally respected and accepted, regardless of their faith.

General

A Balanced Person Starts From A Balanced Worldview Mindset

National schools are associated with religious instruction, which present genuine inconveniences and unnecessary challenges for innocently nonbeliever children:

1. **Religious Bias and Curriculum**: National schools typically integrate religious teachings into the curriculum. For nonbeliever children, this can result in a biased educational environment where their beliefs or lack thereof are not acknowledged or respected. This can create a sense of alienation and marginalization.

2. **Social Pressure and Exclusion**: The strong religious emphasis in these schools can lead to social pressure to conform to religious norms and practices. Nonbeliever children might face exclusion or social stigma, affecting their social interactions.

3. **Curriculum Focus**: The focus on religious education may overshadow other subjects. Nonbeliever children may find the curriculum less relevant to their personal beliefs and educational needs, potentially affecting their overall engagement and academic performance.

4. **Perceived Inequality**: Nonbeliever children may perceive a lack of equality in the educational environment, where their perspectives and needs are not equally addressed. This perception can contribute to feelings of resentment.

5. **Limited Perspective**: The heavy emphasis on one particular religion can limit exposure to diverse perspectives and critical thinking skills. Nonbeliever children might miss out on opportunities to engage with a broader range of worldviews and ideas.

Addressing these issues requires creating an inclusive educational environment that respects and accommodates diverse beliefs and ensures all students receive a balanced and equitable education.

Universities in Malaysia, under the influence of uninspired education ministers and their sycophantic aides, have veered off course from their core mission. Traditionally, academia thrived on the pursuit of knowledge and excellence, with outstanding scholars leading and mentoring others to enhance their fields. In this ideal scenario, financial considerations were secondary to the genuine quest for understanding and innovation.

However, the current trend has seen materialistic values overshadowing true academic pursuits. The rise of "aesthetic science," where superficial metrics and industry alignment take precedence over genuine research and scholarship, has diluted the quality of education and research. This shift has been accompanied by questionable research practices and a focus on commercialization, which prioritize profit and marketability over academic rigor and integrity.

In this environment, authentic science and meaningful academic inquiry are increasingly rare. True experts are becoming harder to find, as institutions prioritize rankings and numerical metrics over substantive curriculum and rigorous academic programs.

Bringing a single religion's teachings into multiethnic schools is detrimental to everyone, as schools should focus on cultivating empathy, compassion, integrity, courtesy, consideration, moderation, and inclusivity. Here's why:

### Undermines Inclusivity
A single-religion curriculum in a multiethnic environment can marginalize students from other religious backgrounds, making them feel excluded and undervalued. Schools should promote an inclusive atmosphere where every student feels respected and accepted, regardless of their faith.

### Hampers Empathy and Compassion
Exposure to diverse beliefs and cultures enhances students' ability to empathize with others. Focusing on one religion restricts this exposure, limiting students' understanding and appreciation of different perspectives, which are crucial for developing genuine compassion.

### Erodes Integrity and Consideration
Teaching a single religion can create an environment where certain beliefs are seen as superior, which can erode the integrity of the educational system. It may lead to bias and unfair treatment, undermining the principle of consideration for all individuals' beliefs and backgrounds.

### Compromises Moderation and Balance
Education should foster critical thinking and balanced viewpoints. A single-religion focus can promote dogmatism and discourage students from questioning and exploring different ideas, which is essential for developing a moderate and open-minded outlook.

### Stifles Courtesy and Respect
In a multiethnic school, respect for all cultures and religions is paramount. Prioritizing one religion can breed resentment and disrespect among students from different backgrounds, leading to a divided and hostile school environment.

### Conclusion
To cultivate a nurturing and cohesive community, schools must prioritize universal values like empathy, compassion, integrity, courtesy, consideration, moderation, and inclusivity. Embracing a diverse curriculum that respects all beliefs encourages a more harmonious and respectful society, benefiting everyone in the long run.

Ethanian Universal Connectedness

When you eat, drink, or breathe, many of those atoms become part of your body. Conversely, when you sweat, exhale, or excrete, those atoms return to the Earth's biosphere, potentially becoming part of other living beings. The human body, composed mostly of oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen, is a dynamic system where over 90% of its atoms are replaced annually. Remarkably, only 4% of your cells are uniquely yours, while the rest are blood and bacterial cells.

This constant exchange of atoms underscores our interconnectedness. The atoms in our bodies today may have once been part of ancient plants, animals, or even historical figures. This profound connection highlights the shared and cyclical nature of life on Earth.

Quoted from GTCWenn's LETTER entitled Education Ministry needs to get its house in order (dated 5/8/2024):

Selfishness. insensitive or lack of thoughtfulness?
"The worst part was, as I was feeling uncomfortable in continuously receiving the religious sharing, which became mixed up with announcements from the school, I raised my request to be excluded from receiving the Hadith 40 in my WhatsApp, and the class teacher accused me of trying to prevent them from carrying out the ministry’s instruction on sharing the Hadith 40 to Muslims.

Why is the Education Ministry forcing non-Muslim parents to receive Hadith 40?"

Being exclusive, uncivilised or lack of empathy?
"Even before this, my children were forced to sit in Islamic classes because no other programmes or classes were arranged for non-Muslim students during that period (Tasmik).

Non-Muslim students were told to just sit at the back of the class and do their own work or even sleep if they liked.

Despite the numerous times my children have told the teachers that they are not Muslims and wouldn’t want to sit in the Tasmik classes, the teachers ignored them and forced them to sit in."
Inconsiderate, ignoble or lack of courtesy?
"Why are the non-Muslim students’ rights not respected in Sekolah Kebangsaan while we never do the same to the Muslim students?

As I recall, I didn’t send my children to Sekolah Agama but rather Sekolah Kebangsaan. The name Kebangsaan means national, meaning the school is meant for all Malaysians regardless of their background, including religion.

But it seems there is a process of wiping out non-Muslim students from Sekolah Kebangsaan. Is the Education Ministry for all rakyat or only for certain groups of rakyat?"

Education Blueprint Reform

### 1. **Segregated Schooling System**
Malaysia has a multi-stream schooling system, consisting of national schools (Sekolah Kebangsaan), Chinese vernacular schools (Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Cina), and Tamil vernacular schools (Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Tamil). This segregation from an early age means children primarily interact with peers from their own ethnic group, limiting opportunities for cross-cultural understanding and friendships. The lack of a unified schooling system contributes to maintaining ethnic silos rather than fostering integration.

### 2. **Cultural and Religious Emphasis**
National schools emphasize the Malay language and Islamic studies, reflecting the country's demographic and political landscape. While this is important for preserving cultural heritage, it can alienate non-Malay and non-Muslim students, making them feel like outsiders in the national education system. This alienation can deter non-Malay parents from sending their children to national schools, further perpetuating segregation.

### 3. **Curriculum and Representation**
The curriculum in national schools is often criticized for not adequately representing the history, culture, and contributions of all ethnic groups in Malaysia. This can lead to a lack of appreciation and understanding of the diverse cultural landscape of the country, undermining efforts toward integration. Students may grow up with a limited worldview, lacking the necessary appreciation for multiculturalism.

### 4. **Higher Education Quotas and Policies**
At the university level, affirmative action policies favoring Bumiputera students in public universities can create feelings of resentment and division among non-Bumiputera students. The preferential treatment in university admissions and scholarships can be seen as discriminatory, leading to a lack of meritocracy and exacerbating ethnic tensions. This can discourage non-Bumiputera students from seeking higher education within Malaysia, driving them to pursue studies abroad and reducing opportunities for integration.

### 5. **Limited Interaction Opportunities**
Both the schooling and university systems offer limited structured opportunities for meaningful interaction among students from different ethnic backgrounds. While there may be extracurricular activities and events, these are often insufficient to bridge the significant divide created by the segregated educational paths. Without deliberate and sustained efforts to encourage interracial interactions, students may remain within their ethnic comfort zones.

### 6. **Socialization Patterns**
The segregation in schools often extends to social circles and extracurricular activities, where students primarily engage with those from their own ethnic background. This pattern continues into higher education and beyond, reinforcing social barriers and reducing the likelihood of interracial friendships and collaborations.

### 7. **Language Barriers**
Language can be a significant barrier to integration. While Malay is the national language, the prevalence of vernacular schools means many students are more comfortable in their mother tongue, which can limit their ability to communicate and form connections with peers from different ethnic backgrounds. This language divide perpetuates separation rather than promoting unity.

### Conclusion
To foster true social and interracial integration, Malaysia's education system would benefit from reforms that promote a more inclusive and unified schooling experience. This could include creating a more balanced and representative curriculum, encouraging multilingual proficiency, increasing opportunities for interracial interactions, and ensuring that all students feel valued and included in the national narrative. Without such changes, the current system risks perpetuating divisions and hindering the development of a cohesive and integrated society.
