Ah yes, and let's not forget the cherry on top: the massive compensation paid to the families of soldiers killed while doing absolutely nothing in Lebanon. You know, the kind of money that could buy a house—or at least pay off **Ah Long** (loan sharks) debts for us regular folks who’ve never even seen a proper pay raise. But hey, isn’t it heartwarming? While we’re down here kais pagi makan pagi, they get the *ultimate jackpot* if something happens to them during this "dangerous" sit-and-wait operation in Lebanon.

Let’s just take a moment to appreciate the irony here. Some poor souls in our B40 community can work 50 years, retire with nothing but an aching back and an empty bank account, yet if a soldier happens to die on this high-stakes "patrolling" of his barracks in Lebanon, suddenly the government opens its treasure chest and out pours millions in compensation. Oh, but don’t worry! It’s not like our everyday lives are risky or anything. I mean, crossing a busy road or trying not to get sick because we can't afford medical bills isn't nearly as dangerous as, you know, sitting in Lebanon waiting for a patrol order.

It’s such a relief to know that our country’s priorities are in the right place. While we’re sitting in our kampungs rationing rice and trying to survive another round of price hikes, at least we can sleep soundly knowing that someone, somewhere, far away, is generously compensated if things go south.

Oh, how wonderful! While the rest of us "kais pagi makan pagi, kais petang makan petang" (scraping by day by day), living paycheck to paycheck and wondering how to stretch our meager Ringgit, the Malaysian peacekeeping battalion (Malbatt) 850-11 in Lebanon is ordered to just sit tight. Imagine that! No more patrols, no more logistics, no more movements. What a dream come true!

I bet they must be having it rough, right? Sitting in a foreign country, all safe and sound, doing absolutely nothing—meanwhile, I’m sitting here at home figuring out how to "patrol" the grocery store for the cheapest eggs. Maybe they can lend me some of their spare time to figure out why my electricity bill keeps going up when I’ve barely turned on the lights.

But don’t worry, we’re all in this together. I'm sure their sacrifices in not patrolling Lebanon are just as difficult as me deciding which meal to skip today to afford tomorrow's commute. Thank goodness we have such "heroes" protecting us while we battle the real war—surviving this daily economic battlefield back home.

Day 5: The Fall of the Giant

The final day sees a coordinated ground assault by Israel and allied special operations forces, targeting key government buildings in Tehran. Iranian leadership attempts to flee, but Israel's Mossad, utilizing its vast intelligence network, ensures key figures are captured or neutralized. The Iranian military, now leaderless and fragmented, surrenders en masse.

In just five days, Iran’s military infrastructure lies in ruins, its leadership captured or fleeing, and its nuclear ambitions shattered. The regime crumbles under internal pressure, and the world watches as Israel delivers a stunningly swift victory. A new era begins as Iran faces reconstruction, while Israel secures its borders and demonstrates a formidable military dominance.

Day 3: Shadows of Sabotage

On the third day, Israeli special forces conduct covert operations deep within Iran’s borders. Units from Sayeret Matkal infiltrate high-value targets, including missile storage facilities, radar installations, and command bunkers. The targeted destruction of critical assets leaves Iran's missile and artillery capabilities severely diminished.

Iran’s attempts to mobilize its army in response are thwarted as Israel’s cyberwarfare division continues to disrupt logistics and transportation networks, creating widespread confusion. The Iranian leadership, sensing the tide turning, attempts to rally its forces but faces internal dissent and mass desertions.

Day 2: The Blitz of the Skies

With air superiority achieved, the IAF escalates their operations. F-35I Adir stealth fighters launch a coordinated wave of strikes against Tehran's key military installations and Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) bases. Iran’s leadership scrambles to organize a response, but Israel's overwhelming use of electronic warfare continues to jam their communications. Meanwhile, Israel's Iron Dome and David’s Sling systems intercept the few retaliatory missiles Iran manages to launch.

Behind the scenes, Israeli intelligence services activate their network of covert operatives and dissidents inside Iran, sabotaging key infrastructure and further destabilizing the regime's efforts to coordinate a defense. The psychological impact on the Iranian population and military is immediate—rumors of regime collapse spread like wildfire.

Day 1: The Storm Begins

At dawn, a cyberwarfare assault codenamed "Thunderstrike" cripples Iran’s command and control systems. Israel's elite Unit 8200, along with allied cyber forces, unleashes unprecedented attacks on Iran's power grid, communication lines, and military networks, leaving critical systems paralyzed. Iranian air defenses fall into chaos, and the Israeli Air Force (IAF) initiates precision strikes across the country, targeting nuclear facilities, missile sites, and key military installations. Using advanced stealth technology and drones, Israeli jets face little resistance as they surgically dismantle Iran's air defense systems.

This phenomenon reflects an overproduction of graduates in highly skilled sectors, where demand does not match the available workforce. Local graduates, who have been trained in specific fields, now face intense competition in a limited job market. This negatively affects their employability, forcing many to take up lower-skilled jobs or work outside their areas of specialization.

Taxpayers vs. The Ministry of Higher Education—a gripping drama where the government is forced to explain why it treated education like an assembly line, all while the job market sat idly by. Perhaps the settlement could include funding for actual job creation instead of just more empty promises and oversold degrees. Now that would be an education worth investing in!

Shamelessly failing the people- By neglecting job creation in these regions and ignoring the realities of the local job market, the Higher Education Ministry has failed to fulfill its mandate to guide educational institutions and protect students from unrealistic job prospects. The minister should face consequences, as this long-standing issue directly undermines economic development and worsens the regional disparity in employment opportunities.

The state governments of Kelantan, Terengganu, and Pahang, as well as the Higher Education Minister, should be held accountable for this imbalance. The overproduction of graduates relative to the availability of skilled jobs points to a failure to control intake quotas, poor workforce planning, and misalignment of educational output with regional job markets. The absence of adequate job matching, community communication, and budget planning exacerbates unemployment and forced migration. This lack of foresight and leadership has led to wasted potential and must result in accountability, including the sacking of responsible officials.

This imbalance also impacts the unemployment rate and triggers the migration of labor from the East Coast to metropolitan areas like the Klang Valley, where more job opportunities are available. Without better graduate placement plans or more active development of highly skilled sectors in the East Coast, this issue is likely to persist.

The World Bank report on Malaysia clearly highlights the imbalance between the supply of highly skilled graduates and the available job opportunities in the East Coast regions, including Kelantan, Terengganu, and Pahang, from 2018 to 2023. During this period, fewer than 50,000 highly skilled jobs were offered each year, while the number of graduates entering the job market annually ranged between 200,000 and 350,000.

Perhaps it's time taxpayers took a cue from the World Bank report and asked themselves: Can we sue the government for this spectacular mismanagement? It wouldn’t be too far-fetched, given the reckless overspending on higher education programs that don’t align with job market demands. If only there was a legal precedent for suing a ministry for fiscal negligence or for misleading an entire generation of graduates into believing they were training for jobs that simply don’t exist.

And what about the taxpayers footing the bill for this grand experiment in futility? Surely, they must be thrilled to know that their hard-earned money has been invested in mass-producing degrees with no real employment opportunities in sight. After all, who wouldn’t want their tax dollars funneled into creating a surplus of unemployed or underemployed graduates?

Global Polarization and Economic Strain: A war involving Iran and Israel would disrupt global oil supplies, causing economic instability. Many nations depend on Middle Eastern oil, and a military conflict could trigger soaring energy prices, inflation, and economic crises worldwide. As economies suffer, nations may be forced into alliances that mirror the polarization seen during the Cold War, with battle lines forming between East and West, pushing the world toward a larger conflict.

To successfully implement such a targeted tax strategy, the government would need a clear communication plan. The public should understand that this is part of a larger vision to ensure that wealthier citizens contribute proportionately to national development.

By 2060, AI could have progressed to a point where it challenges core beliefs about human purpose, consciousness, and morality—concepts central to religion. As AI systems become increasingly sophisticated, capable of performing tasks that traditionally require human intelligence, empathy, or decision-making, the role of humans could become diminished in various societal functions. This shift may lead people to question what it means to be human and whether there is something intrinsically sacred about human life, which religions collectively assert.

By 2060, the convergence of AI's dominance and a rising atheist critique of religion as primitive or delusional could foster unprecedented collaboration among religious groups. While differences in theology would remain, religions might unite in defending shared values—human dignity, the sacredness of life, and the importance of morality—from what they see as the dangers of a secular, atheist worldview promoted by AI-driven advancements. The external pressures of technological transformation could catalyze this unity, creating a new form of interfaith collaboration focused on preserving the spiritual dimensions of human existence.

T20 & Luxury Goods: The luxury goods industry would be particularly affected. Malaysians frequently purchase items like handbags, watches, and jewelry from luxury brands when traveling. A 100% GST would create a huge disincentive for such purchases, potentially leading these consumers to shop domestically or avoid luxury goods altogether.

Boost in Domestic Retail Sales: If consumers are discouraged from purchasing goods overseas due to the 100% GST, they may be more inclined to buy the same goods locally, thereby stimulating local businesses. This shift could reduce the leakage of consumer spending outside the country.

Changes in Shopping Patterns: Malaysians might significantly reduce overseas purchases. Currently, traveling abroad to buy cheaper electronics, luxury goods, or other products is common due to currency exchange advantages or tax-free shopping. A 100% GST could shift this behavior back to local markets or make Malaysians rethink whether these overseas purchases are worth it.

Buy local!! Malaysians who travel and purchase luxury or high-value goods abroad would be faced with a substantial cost increase. Upon returning, they'd have to declare these items and pay 100% GST on top of the original purchase price. For instance, if someone bought a RM1,000 luxury handbag in Paris, they would need to pay RM1,000 in GST upon returning, effectively doubling the cost.
