Apartheidism, defined as a system of institutionalized racial segregation and discrimination, is one of the worst forms of moral and humanism violation.

1. **Denial of Basic Human Rights**: Apartheid denies individuals their basic human rights solely based on race or ethnicity. This includes the right to access to certain universities and employment/promotion opportunity. Such systemic exclusion violate the sense of moral, nobility and humanism.

2. **Perpetuation of Inequality**: By design, apartheid enforces and perpetuates inequality. It creates and maintains an unjust hierarchy where one group is considered superior and the other inferior, leading to widespread social and economic disparities that causes disunity.

3. **Psychological Harm**: Apartheid inflicts deep psychological wounds issues in the society, compromising harmony.

4. **Social Division and Conflict**: Apartheid fosters division and animosity between different racial groups. By institutionalizing segregation, it creates a society rife with mistrust, resentment, and often violence, leading to long-term social instability and conflict.

5. **Violation of Ethical Principles**: Apartheid stands in stark opposition to fundamental ethical principles such as justice, equality, and respect for human dignity. It represents an extreme form of moral failure by institutionalizing the belief that some human beings are inherently worth less than others.

6. **Global Condemnation**: The global community widely recognizes apartheid as a grave moral wrong. Historical examples, particularly in South Africa, have led to international sanctions, widespread condemnation, and efforts to dismantle such systems, underscoring its universal recognition as a profound injustice.

7. **Long-term Damage**: The effects of apartheid extend far beyond the period of its enforcement. The societal scars, economic damage, and entrenched prejudices it leaves behind can take decades, if not centuries, to heal, impacting multiple generations.

In essence, apartheidism's systematic denial of fundamental human rights, perpetuation of deep social and economic inequalities, and long-lasting harmful effects on individuals and society make it one of the worst forms of moral violation. Its comprehensive assault on human dignity and justice places it among the most reprehensible practices in human history.

Criminal breach of public trust to disregard general order

Prolonged bull market, where excessive optimism and speculative behavior lead to a sharp and often unexpected downturn.

When the bull market "dies," it often does so dramatically. The sudden realization that prices are overvalued leads to a swift and severe market correction or crash. This phase is characterized by:
- **Panic Selling**: Investors rush to sell off their holdings to cut losses, exacerbating the downward spiral.
- **Volatility**: Market volatility spikes as prices swing wildly, reflecting uncertainty and fear.
- **Liquidity Issues**: During a crash, liquidity can dry up, making it harder to sell assets without significantly impacting prices.

The transition from euphoria to panic can be emotionally devastating. Investors who were caught up in the bull market’s rise may face significant financial losses, leading to a loss of confidence and increased market skepticism.

The phrase "bull dies in euphoria" underscores the importance of:
- **Risk Management**: Investors need to be mindful of market cycles and avoid excessive risk-taking during periods of euphoria.
- **Valuation Awareness**: Paying attention to asset valuations and economic fundamentals can help avoid investing at the peak of a bubble.
- **Emotional Discipline**: Maintaining emotional discipline and avoiding herd behavior can mitigate the impact of market downturns.

Uitm's reputation

Hiring a bankrupt to hold a key position in government service is wrong for obvious reasons:

1. **Legal and Ethical Violations**: Public service positions, especially key ones, often require the utmost integrity and adherence to legal standards. A bankrupt individual is legally restricted in many jurisdictions from holding certain public offices. Hiring such a person disregards these legal stipulations and undermines ethical governance principles.

2. **Trust and Credibility**: Public trust in government institutions is paramount. Employing a bankrupt individual in a key position severely undermines public confidence. It signals a tolerance for financial irresponsibility and potential mismanagement, eroding the credibility of the institution and its ability to manage public resources effectively.

3. **Risk of Corruption**: A bankrupt individual may be more susceptible to corruption due to financial pressures. Entrusting them with significant responsibilities and access to public funds increases the risk of corrupt practices, further jeopardizing the integrity of government operations.

4. **Misuse of Public Funds**: Public funds are meant for the public good and must be used responsibly. Hiring a bankrupt individual represents a gross misuse of these funds, as it prioritizes individual interests over the collective welfare. This decision could lead to inefficient or corrupt management of resources, ultimately harming the public.

5. **Precedent Setting**: Allowing a bankrupt individual to hold a key government position sets a dangerous precedent. It lowers the standards for public office eligibility, potentially opening the door for other unsuitable candidates. This can lead to a deterioration of governance quality and public sector performance over time.

6. **Accountability and Responsibility**: Government officials are expected to be accountable and responsible stewards of public resources. A bankrupt individual has already demonstrated a significant lapse in financial management, raising serious concerns about their ability to fulfill these responsibilities effectively.

In conclusion, using public funds to hire a bankrupt individual for a key government position is not only legally and ethically indefensible but also undermines public trust, increases the risk of corruption, and represents a gross misuse of resources. Such actions compromise the integrity and efficiency of public service, making it an inexcusable and criminally wrong decision.

Complaints about Tby Schools in Malaysia, specifically regarding incompetent teachers, educators, and administration staff, have surfaced from various reviews and discussions among parents and students.

1. **Unqualified Teachers**: At Tby International School, Setia Eco Park in Shah Alam, a significant number of teaching staff were reported to be unqualified, which has led to inadequate teaching and poor academic outcomes. This lack of qualification among teachers is a major concern for parents, who feel that the quality of education is compromised.

2. **Poor Administration and Management**: The administration at Tby Schools has been criticized for its handling of extra-curricular activities and parent relations. Activities are often poorly run unless they have external coaches, and there is a noticeable lack of engagement and responsiveness from the administration regarding parental concerns. Parents have also noted that the school forces them to buy unnecessary books and spend heavily on private tuition due to insufficient classroom teaching.

3. **Lack of Discipline and System**: At Tby Schools Setia Eco Gardens in Johor Bahru, parents have expressed disappointment with the lack of discipline and a proper system within the school. Despite attempts to provide feedback, their concerns were often ignored by the school administration.

4. **Fee Structure Issues**: Another issue raised is the inconsistency in the fee structure, with annual increases that are not communicated transparently. This has added to the frustration of parents who already feel they are not getting value for their money.

These complaints highlight significant areas of concern regarding the competence and management within Tby Schools, affecting both the academic experience and overall satisfaction of parents and students.

There has been clear-cut criminal document faking in causing the downfall of Serba Dinamik Berhad on Bursa KLSE:

1. **Audit Discrepancies**: The crisis began with KPMG, Serba Dinamik's external auditor, identifying discrepancies in the company's financial statements. KPMG flagged over RM 4.54 billion worth of transactions that were unverified, indicating potential misreporting or fraud.

2. **Regulatory Investigations**: Following KPMG's findings, the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) launched an investigation into Serba Dinamik. The SC's probe was aimed at determining the accuracy and validity of the company's financial disclosures and documents.

3. **Legal Actions and Charges**: In November 2021, the SC charged Serba Dinamik, its CEO Datuk Dr. Mohd Abdul Karim Abdullah, and several other executives with submitting false information to Bursa Malaysia. These charges imply that documents submitted by Serba Dinamik to the stock exchange were intentionally falsified.

4. **Impact on Shareholders**: The financial irregularities and subsequent investigations led to a severe loss of confidence among investors. This loss of confidence was reflected in the plummeting share prices, eroding substantial shareholder value and leading to the company's downfall.

5. **Court Proceedings and Evidence**: The ongoing court proceedings and evidence presented further substantiate the allegations of document falsification. Testimonies and forensic audits are likely to reveal more details on how financial documents were manipulated.

6. **Corporate Governance Failures**: The case highlights significant failures in corporate governance within Serba Dinamik. The lack of internal controls and oversight allowed for the potential faking of documents to go unchecked for a considerable period.

7. **Repercussions on the Market**: The scandal has had broader implications for the Malaysian stock market, raising concerns about corporate transparency and accountability. It underscores the necessity for stringent regulatory oversight to prevent similar incidents in the future.

These points collectively demonstrate that the downfall of Serba Dinamik Berhad was precipitated by clear instances of criminal-cum-immoral document faking.

Incompetent and opportunistically irresponsible politicians often exploit protopseudoscience to sow the seeds of extremism to gain popularity and garner votes by capitalizing on the fear, ignorance, and biases of the populace. Here’s how they typically operate:

### 1. **Simplistic Solutions to Complex Problems**
- **Protopseudoscience** offers simplistic, often incorrect explanations for complex social, economic, and political issues. Politicians leverage these explanations to present easy-to-digest solutions that appeal to the public's desire for quick fixes.
- Example: Blaming economic hardships on specific ethnic or religious groups rather than addressing systemic issues like corruption or mismanagement.

### 2. **Appealing to Emotions**
- By promoting pseudo-scientific ideas that resonate emotionally rather than rationally, politicians can tap into people's fears, anger, and prejudices.
- Example: Suggesting that a particular minority is responsible for the spread of diseases or crime, despite lack of scientific evidence.

### 3. **Creating Scapegoats**
- Scapegoating is a common tactic where politicians use protopseudoscientific claims to demonize certain groups, blaming them for societal problems.
- Example: Claiming that immigrants are taking jobs away from natives, supported by dubious statistics and misleading studies.

### 4. **Promoting Conspiracy Theories**
- Politicians may endorse or propagate conspiracy theories that frame their political opponents or marginalized groups as part of sinister plots.
- Example: The spread of anti-vaccination propaganda, suggesting that vaccines are harmful and part of a governmental or corporate conspiracy.

### 5. **Erosion of Trust in Established Institutions**
- By undermining trust in scientific and educational institutions, politicians can position themselves as the sole trustworthy source of information.
- Example: Discrediting climate change science as a "hoax" created by elites to control the populace.

### 6. **Leveraging Media and Social Platforms**
- Modern media and social platforms allow rapid dissemination of protopseudoscientific claims, reaching a broad audience quickly.
- Politicians often use these platforms to bypass traditional media gatekeepers and directly spread their message to followers.
- Example: Using social media to spread misinformation about electoral fraud or the effectiveness of certain medical treatments.

### 7. **Exploiting Religious and Cultural Beliefs**
- By aligning their pseudoscientific claims with existing religious or cultural beliefs, politicians can amplify their message and gain the support of religious and cultural leaders.
- Example: Framing certain scientific advancements or policies as contrary to religious teachings, thereby mobilizing religious communities against them.

### 8. **Polarizing Society**
- Extremist rhetoric based on protopseudoscience divides society into “us vs. them,” creating a sense of identity and belonging among supporters while alienating opponents.
- Example: Promoting ideas that certain races or ethnicities are inherently superior or inferior, leading to social division and conflict.

### 9. **Perpetuating Ignorance**
- By continuously propagating pseudoscientific ideas, politicians keep the public uninformed or misinformed, which makes it easier to manipulate them.
- Example: Opposing sex education in schools by spreading misinformation about its supposed negative effects on children’s morality.

### 10. **Garnering Votes through Fearmongering**
- By instilling fear through pseudoscientific claims, politicians can rally support from those who feel threatened, promising protection and solutions that align with their fabricated narratives.
- Example: Fearmongering about the dangers of technological advancements or certain medical practices to gain the votes of the apprehensive public.

In conclusion, these tactics allow politicians to build a loyal base, manipulate public opinion, and maintain power, often at the cost of societal harmony and progress. Recognizing and combating such misuse of protopseudoscience is essential for a healthy, informed democracy.

The argument for funding science classes with public funds while requiring individuals to pay out-of-pocket for protopseudoscience classes hinges on several key points:

1. **Public Benefit and Common Good**: Science education provides clear and demonstrable benefits to society. A well-educated populace in scientific principles can contribute to technological advancements, medical breakthroughs, and a better understanding of the natural world. This collective benefit justifies the use of public funds.

2. **Evidence-Based Learning**: Science is grounded in empirical evidence and the scientific method. Public funds should support education that is based on verifiable, reproducible research. This ensures that students receive accurate and reliable information, which is essential for informed decision-making in both personal and professional contexts.

3. **Economic Investment**: Investing in science education has long-term economic benefits. Countries with strong scientific education systems tend to have more innovative economies, higher productivity, and better job prospects for their citizens. This return on investment supports the argument for using public funds for science education.

4. **Risk of Misinformation**: Protopseudoscience, which often includes unfounded or disproven theories, can lead to the spread of misinformation. Publicly funding such classes would not only waste resources but also risk legitimizing false information. This could have detrimental effects on public health, safety, and policy.

5. **Personal Choice and Responsibility**: Individuals who choose to explore protopseudoscience should bear the cost themselves. This personal financial commitment discourages the casual dissemination of unverified or false information and places the responsibility on the individual to critically assess the value of the education they are pursuing.

6. **Educational Standards**: Publicly funded education must meet rigorous standards to ensure that students are receiving a quality education. Science classes are subject to such standards, ensuring that the curriculum is up-to-date and based on the latest research. Protopseudoscience classes often do not meet these standards, which justifies why they should not be publicly funded.

In summary, funding science classes with public funds ensures the promotion of reliable, evidence-based knowledge that benefits society as a whole. Conversely, requiring individuals to pay for protopseudoscience classes out of their own pockets prevents the misuse of public funds and helps mitigate the spread of misinformation.

A comparison between the lessons from science and protopseudoscience regarding the sun:

### Science:
1. **Nucleosynthesis**: The sun is a site of nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms fuse to form helium, releasing enormous amounts of energy.
2. **Atoms and Reactive Molecules**: The sun generates a variety of elements and reactive molecules through nuclear reactions.
3. **Life**: The sun provides the necessary energy for life on Earth through photosynthesis, driving ecosystems and climate.
4. **Energy**: The sun is the primary source of energy for the Earth, powering weather systems, ocean currents, and the water cycle.

### Protopseudoscience:
1. **Sun Worshipping**: Many ancient cultures viewed the sun as a deity or divine entity, attributing it with god-like qualities and incorporating sun worship into religious practices.
2. **Divinity Theory**: In this view, the sun is not just a physical entity but a divine force, often central to creation myths and rituals.

### Key Differences:
- **Basis**: Science is based on empirical evidence, observation, and experimentation, while protopseudoscience relies on mythological, religious, and anecdotal beliefs.
- **Purpose**: Scientific lessons aim to explain natural phenomena through testable and falsifiable theories. Protopseudoscience often seeks to provide existential or spiritual meaning.
- **Methodology**: Science uses the scientific method, including hypothesis, experimentation, and peer review. Protopseudoscience may use stories, rituals, and unverified claims.

- **Impact**: Scientific understanding of the sun leads to technological advancements and practical applications (e.g., solar energy). Protopseudoscience impacts cultural and religious practices but lacks scientific validation.

Other applications: in health - Outdoor sun exposure is beneficial for young children in helping to prevent the development of myopia (nearsightedness). Here's how it works:

### Biological Mechanism
1. **Dopamine Release**:
- Exposure to natural light stimulates the release of dopamine in the retina. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in inhibiting excessive elongation of the eyeball, which is a primary cause of myopia.

2. **Intensity and Spectrum of Light**:
- Natural sunlight is much brighter and contains a broader spectrum of light than artificial indoor lighting. This helps regulate the growth of the eye more effectively.

3. **Circadian Rhythms**:
- Exposure to natural light helps maintain healthy circadian rhythms, which in turn support overall eye health.

### Empirical Evidence
1. **Epidemiological Studies**:
- Numerous studies have found that children who spend more time outdoors have lower rates of myopia. For instance, a study conducted in Taiwan showed that increasing outdoor time in schools resulted in a significant reduction in the incidence of myopia among children.

2. **Controlled Trials**:
- Interventional studies have shown that adding outdoor activities to children's daily routines can slow the progression of myopia. For example, the Guangzhou Outdoor Activity Longitudinal Study (GOALS) demonstrated that children who spent additional time outdoors had a slower rate of myopia progression compared to those who did not.

### Recommendations for Parents and Educators
1. **Incorporate Outdoor Play**:
- Ensure that children have regular opportunities to play outside. Aim for at least 1-2 hours of outdoor activity each day.

2. **Balanced Activities**:
- Encourage a mix of outdoor activities that involve both close-up work (like reading) and distance viewing to balance the visual demands on the eyes.

3. **Sun Protection**:
- While encouraging outdoor activities, ensure that children are protected from excessive UV exposure with hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen.

### Additional Benefits
- **Overall Physical Health**:
- Outdoor activities promote physical fitness and can help prevent obesity, which is another risk factor for myopia.

- **Mental Health**:
- Time spent outdoors is associated with improved mood and reduced risk of mental health issues such as anxiety and depression.

By incorporating regular outdoor activities into children's routines, parents and educators can help support healthy eye development and reduce the risk of myopia, contributing to better overall health and well-being.

Yes, children got option to get the "why" answers if they attend the protopseudoscience classes. But there must be an honest disclaimer made clear to them that the answers are just empirical- far from absolute or evidence-based.
