Congrats S’pore, you’re a lesson M’sia will never learn

https://www.malaysiakini.com/news/677820 Mm NEWS YOURSAY | Congrats S'pore, you're a lesson M'sia will never learn Yoursay Published: Sep 3, 2023 9:28 AM ⋅ Updated: 9:28 AM YOURSAY | 'We're just across the causeway but do not share the same sun.' Tharman Shanmugaratnam new Singapore president Proarte: Will the political culture and racial attitude in Malaysia allow for a head of state to be Chinese or Indian? Sadly, the mindset of those who have a sense of entitlement always play victim. It has created a community that is insecure and lacking in dignity. The fact that a country of PAP supporters can vote for an Indian to be president should be a pointed reminder of how inward-looking, racist, dumbed down, and mediocre the Malaysian peninsula has become by comparison. The Madani government and Perikatan Nasional should learn from the Singapore model of governance. Both sides of the political divide in Malaysia operate based on racism and religio...

I am unhappy with the creeping Arabisation of my multiracial and multicultural M'sia And I am angry with the dumbing down of the Malay rural population by politicians without integrity, without honour, without honesty and without conscience. Being often labelled as incendi...

*Why we ought to be concerned about the Education Ministry’s latest religious module*

*Why we ought to be concerned about the Education Ministry's latest religious module* Dennis Ignatius August 31, 2023 The government's recent decision to introduce the "Imam Al-Nawawi's 40 Hadis" appreciation module in both religious and public schools has created a great deal of anxiety among non-Muslim citizens. In the first place, the MOE announcement gave the impression that it would be taught to all students in all government schools. It was only after interfaith groups protested that the ministry rushed to do damage control by clarifying that the module was only for Muslims. Non-Muslims are often told to be cognizant of Muslim sensitivities. Sensitivity is not a one-way street; government agencies ought to be sensitive to non-Muslim concerns too. Hadith #8 has also drawn a lot of attention because it seems to exhort Muslims to "fight against people" until they convert to Islam. There appears to be different interpretations as to what this m...
