Finding the right balance between academic freedom and societal sensitivities is crucial. Instead of resorting to censorship or marginalization of specific perspectives, open debates should be encouraged. This approach fosters understanding, allows for diverse viewpoints to be heard, and promotes critical thinking among individuals.

We must question the rationale behind investing millions of dollars in promoting tourism when there are ongoing issues such as sabotage, as exemplified by Bruce Gilley's situation in Malaysia. Gilley's experience, where he faced backlash and safety concerns due to his controversial remarks, paints a picture of a country where academic freedom and freedom of speech might be constrained. This raises doubts about Malaysia's image as a safe and welcoming destination for travelers and scholars alike.

Investing in tourism promotion is typically aimed at showcasing a country's attractions, cultural richness, and hospitality. However, when incidents like Gilley's backlash occur, they can tarnish this image and deter potential tourists and academics from visiting or engaging with the country. This is particularly significant in today's interconnected world, where news and information spread rapidly, influencing public perceptions.

Moreover, the incident with Gilley brings to light broader issues regarding political sensitivities, academic discourse, and international relations. It highlights the challenges faced by scholars who engage in controversial topics, especially in countries where certain topics are considered highly sensitive or contentious. It also underscores the importance of ensuring a balance between freedom of expression and maintaining social harmony, which is crucial for fostering a conducive environment for intellectual exchange and promoting a positive image internationally.

Therefore, the question raised about the effectiveness of spending millions on tourism promotion amid ongoing issues reflects concerns about the country's overall reputation, safety, and the conducive nature of its intellectual and academic environment.

Redirecting millions from M40 subsidies to fund the lavish expenditures of hundreds of YBs, VIPs, and VVIPs seems like a skewed priority, sacrificing the welfare of many for the comfort of a few in power

In a dramatic turn of events, Bruce Gilley, a US academic whose controversial remarks at a Universiti Malaya (UM) talk ignited a firestorm, has now spoken out against the Malaysian government and labeled the country as unsafe for travel. Gilley, a renowned professor of political science at Portland State University, cited safety concerns as the primary reason for his departure from Malaysia, attributing these concerns to what he described as an "Islamo-fascist mob whipped up by the government there." His departure comes amidst a backlash stemming from his purported claim that Malaysia was pushing for a "second Holocaust against the Jewish people," a statement that sparked widespread condemnation and raised tensions. Gilley's criticism of the government's handling of the situation adds a new dimension to the already heated debate surrounding freedom of speech and academic discourse in Malaysia. The incident underscores the complex interplay between academic freedom, political sensitivities, and international relations, highlighting the challenges faced by scholars navigating contentious topics in diverse cultural contexts. It also raises questions about the broader implications for intellectual exchange and the perception of Malaysia as a destination for scholarly engagement.

Redirecting millions from subsidies meant for the M40 (middle-income) group to fund the extravagant expenses of hundreds of YBs (Members of Parliament), VIPs (Very Important Persons), and VVIPs (Very Very Important Persons) raises concerns about skewed priorities and the potential sacrifice of the welfare of many for the comfort of a few in power.

This action reflects a prioritization of the elite's needs over the broader populace, especially those in the M40 group who may rely on subsidies for essential services or support. It can be seen as a form of elitism and favoritism, where resources that could benefit a larger segment of society are diverted to cater to the luxury or convenience of a select few in influential positions.

Such a move can lead to resentment and further exacerbate inequalities within society. It may also erode trust in the government's ability to fairly distribute resources and prioritize the well-being of its citizens. Critics might argue that this allocation of funds reflects a disconnect between the ruling class and the everyday struggles faced by the middle-income and lower-income segments of society.

In the long term, this skewed allocation of resources could have negative repercussions on social cohesion, economic stability, and the overall welfare of the population, highlighting the importance of transparent and equitable decision-making in governance.

When incapable ppl are in charge, culprits will always get away. Poor rakyat have been paying the price of untrustworthy gomen for decades.

When corruptible ppl without self-integrity are put to key positions and further plunder the country coffer, leading to subsidy cut.

When musangs are assigned to jaga reban, this is the end results: The staggering losses incurred by Felda in 2022, amounting to RM1 billion, nearly double the losses from the previous year, highlight the consequences of entrusting unworthy individuals with leadership roles. The auditor-general's report sheds light on the mismanagement and poor decision-making that have plagued Felda, ultimately leading to dire financial outcomes.

There is serious disparity between the extensive emphasis placed on certain aspects of education, such as thick syllabi, and the failure to impart crucial lessons to school children. There is dangers of societal regression when individuals or groups prioritize and indulge in primitive, irrational beliefs and behaviors.

1. **Lowly Cavemen's Puzzles:** This refers to primitive or archaic thinking patterns akin to those of early humans. It implies a simplistic, unenlightened approach to problem-solving or decision-making, lacking the sophistication and rationality expected in modern society.

2. **Agencies:** In this context, agencies could refer to the attribution of supernatural or mystical forces to explain events or phenomena, instead of relying on empirical evidence, logic, or scientific understanding. It warns against the dangers of attributing agency to unproven or fantastical entities rather than understanding and addressing issues based on factual information and reasoned analysis.

3. **Delusions:** Delusions are false beliefs that persist despite evidence to the contrary. They can lead individuals or communities to make decisions based on misinformation or misinterpretation of reality, contributing to conflicts, misunderstandings, and societal dysfunction.

4. **Superstitions:** Superstitions are irrational beliefs or practices often rooted in cultural or historical traditions but lacking scientific validity. Indulging in superstitions can hinder critical thinking, promote fear-based decision-making, and impede progress by clinging to outdated or unfounded beliefs.

By highlighting these pitfalls, the lesson underscores the importance of fostering critical thinking, rationality, and evidence-based decision-making in education to prevent societal regression and promote a more enlightened and progressive future.

Issue no.2: Reform to create a new msia from today

Creating a dynamic, progressive, pluralistic Malaysia with a hopeful future involves:

1. **Education Reform**: Revamp the education system to focus on critical thinking, creativity, and inclusivity. Promote diversity by teaching multiple perspectives on history, culture, and religion. Ensure equal access to quality education for all, regardless of background.

2. **Legal and Judicial Reform**: Strengthen the rule of law, enhance transparency, and combat corruption effectively. Ensure fair and swift justice for all citizens, regardless of their social or political status. Implement reforms to protect human rights and uphold civil liberties.

3. **Economic Reform**: Promote inclusive economic policies that reduce income inequality and provide opportunities for all segments of society. Encourage entrepreneurship, innovation, and sustainable development. Address issues such as affordable housing, healthcare access, and job creation.

4. **Social Harmony and Integration**: Foster a culture of mutual respect, understanding, and cooperation among diverse communities. Promote interfaith dialogue, cultural exchange, and tolerance. Implement policies that protect minority rights and combat discrimination in all forms.

5. **Environmental Sustainability**: Prioritize environmental conservation, sustainable practices, and climate change mitigation. Invest in renewable energy, green infrastructure, and conservation efforts. Educate the public on environmental stewardship and the importance of preserving natural resources for future generations.

These reforms, if implemented effectively, can contribute significantly to building a new Malaysia with a future for all its citizens.

By not plugging the lubang, more subsidy cut is inevitable- soon rakyat makan lodak

The unfortunate journey from universal subsidies to targeted subsidies, and eventually to no subsidies at all, reflects a troubling trajectory shaped by the government's inability to stem the tide of illegal smuggling facilitated by profit-driven syndicates with ties to untouchable VVIPs and enforcement agencies.

From subsidy for all to targeted subsidy and then no subsidy- all because gomen fail to curb illegal smuggling out of locally subsidised goods to neighbour countries by enforcer-linked profiteering syndicates. All gomen believe the rakyat are foolish enough to listen to their lies, excuses and myths!??
