100% GST on Imported Goods: If someone travels abroad and purchases physical goods that they later bring back to their home country, they must be subject to import duties and GST when the goods exceed RM100. For instance, a Malaysian returning with luxury items above a certain threshold could be required to declare them and pay GST upon re-entering Malaysia.

Revise the psychology textbook: Ah yes, the "waiting for 72 virgins in the afterlife" narrative, a classic tale meant to comfort those who believe that paradise is just one grand eternal...well, let's call it a romantic marathon. Of course, this whole idea rests on the assumption that every man’s ultimate dream is spending eternity with an army of inexperienced individuals who need an introduction to every concept imaginable. But hey, it's sold as heaven, right?

Oh, but wait! How could anyone forget that all this heavenly indulgence, both in this life and the next, hinges on a very crucial point — having both the equipment and the intellectual bandwidth to actually enjoy it all. A minor technicality that was conveniently left out of the brochures, wasn't it? I mean, it's not like having a brain is essential for appreciating life (or love)...or is it?

And in this utopia of endless "pleasure," how hilarious is it to think that some might actually believe that after an entire lifetime of devotion, obedience, and asceticism, they get rewarded with, what, a celestial dating app? It’s almost as if the concept of companionship, mutual respect, and understanding just magically vanish in the face of such primal promises. Ah well, who needs meaningful connection when you've got the promise of virgins on standby? Sarcasm at its finest, don’t you think?

Hear this from the psychology textbook: Oh, of course! Why wouldn't women produce a never-ending stream of babies? Clearly, it’s the ultimate badge of honor, a beacon of status, a subtle (or not-so-subtle) way to scream to the world, "Look at how much fun I’m having!" Forget about education, personal growth, or career ambitions. Nope! The true measure of a woman’s worth in this hyper-enlightened society is how many babies she can pop out.

It’s almost like these women are playing a bizarre game of "Baby Olympics," where the more offspring, the greater the sense of personal fulfillment—or maybe it’s just a secret competition to showcase their skills in, well, "reproductive success." Because, naturally, their value hinges entirely on how busy they’ve been in the bedroom, compensating for all that pent-up frustration from years of being "suppressed" and "oppressed," right? I mean, who needs therapy when you can just have another baby to fill the void, eh?

And hey, if you haven’t read about this in psychology yet, you’re seriously missing out on the world’s greatest unintended punchline. Apparently, Freud himself would be rolling in his grave, laughing at how deeply women are overcompensating with endless childbirth to make up for all those suppressed desires. It’s just so "healthy" and "empowering," don’t you think?

Speed and Surprise (Attacking the Enemy's Weaknesses): Sun Tzu advocates for swift and unexpected attacks on the enemy’s weakest points.
- Coordinated Strikes: A joint U.S.-Israel operation might involve swift precision air strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, key military installations, and leadership structures to decapitate Iran’s command-and-control capabilities before they can organize a counterattack.
- Special Operations: Using elite special forces to carry out rapid, high-impact missions targeting Iranian military leadership, vital infrastructure, or nuclear facilities could achieve key objectives with limited resources.

Sayangkan Rakyat, subsidi dikurang-hilangkan; sayangkan pengundi setia, cukai ditambah-tambahkan. "First-class smartly self-serving korek korek leaders & frogliticians" alludes to political corruption and opportunistic behavior. It implies that Malaysia’s leadership is more focused on personal gain than addressing the needs of the population. "Frogliticians" refers to politicians who switch allegiances for personal or political advantage.

From easing traffic jam to baby-sitting 24/7 with negligible maintenance cost - AI can improve Malaysians' quality of life by delivering personalized services and solutions tailored to individual needs. In healthcare, AI-powered diagnostic tools can enable earlier disease detection, improving treatment outcomes and reducing costs. In education, intelligent tutoring systems can provide personalized learning experiences, helping students to overcome challenges at their own pace. AI can also enhance public services by automating administrative tasks, freeing up human workers to focus on more complex issues, thereby improving the overall efficiency of government services.

Negligence: If a school provides such poor quality education that it causes tangible harm to students (e.g., mental distress, missed future opportunities), parents could claim 'negligence'. They just need to provide evidence that the school had a duty of care to the students, failed to uphold that duty, and that this failure caused measurable harm e.g. unemployment, etc

10. Results of Independent Research and Audits
Finally, research and independent audits by international organizations or NGOs can often expose where government spending on education fails to achieve its intended outcomes. These reports might highlight areas where money was misused or where spending did not translate into better educational infrastructure or quality.

Red flag: Audit reports showing discrepancies between allocated funds and tangible results in education.

9. Mismatch Between Spending and Curriculum Quality
Extravagant spending should ideally result in an improved curriculum that aligns with global standards. If the curriculum remains outdated, non-relevant, or detached from the job market's needs, the funds may not be appropriately directed toward educational development.

Red flag: Outdated curriculum and lack of vocational training opportunities despite high levels of spending.

8. Favoritism in Procurement and Contracts
Another way corruption can manifest is through favoritism in the procurement process. Government officials may award contracts for building schools or providing materials to companies that offer kickbacks or bribes, rather than focusing on the quality of the work. This leads to inflated costs, shoddy infrastructure, and wasted resources.

Red flag: Contracts awarded to companies with poor reputations or no track record in education.

7. Accreditation and External Review
Poor-quality education systems might still operate despite heavy government spending because of weak accreditation standards. External reviews or international comparisons can help uncover institutions that receive significant funding but fail to meet basic education standards.

Red flag: Institutions losing accreditation or being poorly rated internationally despite large government investments.

General

6. Public Complaints and Student Outcomes
Monitoring public sentiment through media reports, social media, and student protests can also reveal dissatisfaction with educational outcomes. If students, parents, and teachers are vocal about poor educational standards, yet the government reports high expenditures, this discrepancy can indicate corner-cutting or mismanagement.

Red flag: Frequent complaints from students and parents, especially regarding poor facilities, outdated curricula, and lack of support despite increased budgets.

5. Inflated Administration Costs
Sometimes, large budgets are directed toward administrative overhead rather than actual educational improvement. If a significant portion of the budget is consumed by salaries for administrators and bureaucrats instead of classroom resources, this is a sign that funds are being diverted for other purposes.

Red flag: Large portion of the budget spent on non-teaching staff and bureaucrats, minimal investment in student resources.

General

4. Transparency and Accountability
One of the most reliable ways to spot cheating or corner-cutting in education is by scrutinizing the transparency of budget allocations and spending reports. Look for discrepancies between official government reports and independent audits or civil society reviews. If spending is opaque, or if funds are unaccounted for, this is a major sign of corruption or inefficiency.

Red flag: Lack of transparency in how funds are allocated, misuse of funds, or missing money in audits.

3. Teacher Training and Satisfaction
Extravagant spending should translate into well-trained, well-compensated teachers. However, if teachers report inadequate training, low pay, or large class sizes, it signals corner-cutting in areas critical to education quality. Low teacher satisfaction can also indicate a lack of accountability in educational budgeting.

Red flag: Poorly trained teachers, high turnover, and complaints about compensation despite increased education budgets.

2. Quality of Infrastructure and Resources
Government funds allocated to education are often meant to improve infrastructure, such as school buildings, libraries, labs, and access to learning materials. If schools remain poorly equipped, lack modern technology, or infrastructure is substandard, despite large budgets, this points to poor utilization or mismanagement of funds.

Red flag: Schools lacking basic facilities (e.g., electricity, textbooks, internet) despite large budget allocations.

1. Graduates’ Performance vs. Funding
One key indicator of poor educational outcomes is a mismatch between government expenditure and the performance of graduates. If a country spends a large amount on education, yet the quality of graduates in terms of skills and employability is low, this suggests inefficiency or corruption. Monitoring the employability of graduates, standardized test scores, and higher education rankings can help identify this issue.

Red flag: High education spending but low literacy rates, poor critical thinking skills, and a lack of practical, employable skills among graduates.

How every kid and household got cheater by education minionster? Education System's Failure to Equip for Modern Demands: Many young people leave school without the necessary skills to thrive in the rapidly evolving, high-tech job market of IR 4.0. Without training in digital literacy, emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and cognitive adaptability, they are ill-prepared for high-skill jobs. As a result, they may turn to low-skill, gig economy jobs that offer immediate, but often unsustainable, income.

Gig workers like Grab riders and drivers typically earn income without long-term job security or benefits, and this kind of work becomes a fallback when higher-paying, more stable jobs are inaccessible due to lack of modern competencies.

When a country’s debt becomes too high and it faces challenges in repaying it, governments must make tough decisions to cut back on public spending, particularly focusing on eliminating misallocated funds. Cutting back to zero misallocation is critical to ensure that public resources are used efficiently and to prevent the debt burden from spiraling out of control.

The introduction of taxes like GST often results in dissatisfaction with government policies. Families might perceive this as a sign that future economic conditions may worsen, further dampening optimism about raising children in a potentially unstable financial environment.

With the rising cost of living due to GST, more women may feel pressured to remain in or enter the workforce, reducing the likelihood of them having more children. The financial necessity to work and sustain the household under a higher tax burden might lead to decisions against having larger families, or delaying childbearing to focus on career and financial stability.

Tax changes, especially new consumption taxes, often create economic uncertainty as consumers and businesses adjust. This uncertainty can cause people to delay major life decisions, such as having children, until they feel more financially secure. In environments where economic reforms, like the introduction of GST, lead to wage stagnation or inflation, family planning may take a back seat to economic survival.

Many countries with GST also apply it to healthcare services, including fertility treatments, prenatal care, and childcare products. When these essential services and products become more expensive, it could discourage couples from pursuing fertility treatments or expanding their families. For example, the cost of maternity care, baby formula, and diapers may increase post-GST, further discouraging larger families.

When GST is implemented, people may experience a reduction in disposable income, especially among low- and middle-income families. With less money available for non-essential spending, families may choose to prioritize saving and delay or reduce the number of children they plan to have. Economic instability can create uncertainty about future income, leading to a cautious approach toward major life decisions like having children.

After the introduction of GST in 2017, the cost of goods and services increased, which could contribute to financial stress for middle- and lower-income families. While it is difficult to isolate the direct impact of GST on birth rates, the economic stress from rising living costs might have contributed to the ongoing decline in fertility rates. India's fertility rate has been steadily declining for years, reaching below replacement levels, and factors like increased costs of raising children might play a role.

Japan increased its consumption tax (similar to GST) in stages, with hikes in 2014 and 2019. Japan already faced one of the world’s lowest birth rates, and the tax hikes placed additional pressure on household spending. Some experts argue that these tax increases worsened the economic outlook for young families, discouraging childbearing in a country already grappling with a shrinking population.

Malaysia introduced GST in 2015 and saw a rise in the cost of living, which sparked public protests and economic concerns. Even though the birth rate in Malaysia had already been trending downward before the GST, the added financial pressure of GST might have further influenced family planning decisions. Malaysia’s fertility rate continued to drop, dipping below the replacement level in recent years.

The introduction of GST has been proven to exacerbate economic stress, reduce disposable income, and increase the cost of raising children. Combined, these factors could contribute to declining birth rates, as families become more cautious about the financial responsibilities of having children in a GST-influenced economic landscape.

Prolonging the War is Not Beneficial: Sun Tzu emphasizes the dangers of prolonged conflict. Therefore, a strategy would aim for a quick resolution:
- Limiting Ground Invasion: Instead of a full-scale ground invasion, which could become prolonged and costly, a combination of airpower, cyber warfare, and proxy forces might be used to quickly achieve military objectives while minimizing U.S. and Israeli casualties.
- Controlling Key Infrastructure: Targeting critical assets like Iran’s oil facilities, power grids, and transportation networks could quickly cripple Iran’s ability to sustain a conflict.
