Primitive Limitation: Evolution hardwired humans for face-to-face communication, with an emphasis on small, tribal social networks. The global digital environment, with its reliance on remote and online communication, presents new challenges.

Educational Solution: Reform should emphasize emotional intelligence and social-emotional learning (SEL) to help children navigate online interactions, build empathy, and manage relationships in virtual settings. This will prepare them for collaboration and communication in diverse, multicultural, and digital workspaces.

Primitive Limitation: Our brains evolved to process information in small, easily digestible chunks. Today’s digital overload—constant notifications, vast amounts of online information—can overwhelm students.

Educational Solution: Schools can introduce digital literacy curricula that teach children how to manage information effectively, discern credible sources, and understand the ethical implications of technology. This would ensure that students not only consume digital information but also engage with it critically and responsibly.

Evolution has equipped humans with skills optimized for survival in a primitive world, but these skills often fall short in the complex, digital environment we now inhabit. Education reform plays a critical role in helping children overcome the counterintuitive limitations of human evolution when adapting to a hypermodern, IT-driven world like IR 4.0 (the Fourth Industrial Revolution).

Human Rights Awareness: Use simple, child-friendly examples to show how rights and freedoms have expanded over time, such as children’s rights to education, women’s rights, and movements against racial discrimination.

Diversity and Inclusion: Involve students in discussions about how today’s world is more inclusive and accepting of differences, showing how tolerance and cooperation have improved globally.

Digital Learning: Demonstrate the variety of educational resources available today, such as online learning platforms, virtual libraries, and educational apps. Students can see how much easier it is to access information today compared to the past.

Historical Comparisons: Compare how knowledge was passed on in the past (oral traditions, hand-written manuscripts) to today’s nearly limitless access to books, internet, and multimedia resources.

Interactive Technology Lessons: Show students how technology, such as computers, smartphones, and the internet, has transformed learning, entertainment, and communication. Allow them to explore simple coding, or show videos of how things worked before these advancements.

Global Connection: Highlight how technology now connects people globally. Children can have virtual pen pals or video calls with students from other countries, showing the ease of modern communication.

Life Expectancy and Health: Teach students how life expectancy has increased due to advancements in medicine and healthcare. Students can learn how vaccines, surgeries, and modern hygiene practices have saved millions of lives, improving human health drastically compared to previous centuries.

Fun Science Activities: Organize activities where students learn about medical breakthroughs like penicillin or the discovery of germs, and how these revolutionized health and well-being.

History Lessons: Teachers can create lessons comparing life in the past with today. For example, children can learn about how people lived without electricity, clean water, or modern healthcare. Simple classroom activities might involve comparing everyday tasks, like communication (letter vs. text) or travel (horse vs. car or plane).

Interactive Timelines: Create visual timelines showing major advancements such as the invention of vaccines, computers, or space exploration, to help students understand how these have improved daily life.

Educators in school must help primary school children to realize that the current era is the best time for humans to live

Yes, the evidence is obvious - indeed so be considered "history" now.

The west will crumble dt karma - history will repeat....they could claim early victory, but we know how Crusade war had "ended"....except it didn't.

Tampering with an official report is a serious offense that obstructs justice. It prevents the proper investigation and truth from being revealed, potentially allowing those responsible for the disappearance to evade accountability.

The tampering of the special task force report would be a grave offense with widespread consequences. The task force members, law enforcement agencies, higher government officials, and potentially political figures involved would need to be held accountable. They could face serious legal penalties including imprisonment, dismissal from office, and financial penalties

Guilty as charged????

Children in institutional care like GISHB Ikhwan Home Care can suffer severe psychological damage if exposed to neglect, abuse, or poor caregiving. They may develop attachment disorders, struggle with emotional regulation, or experience trauma, leading to conditions like PTSD. Cognitive and developmental delays can occur due to a lack of mental stimulation or a toxic environment, causing poor academic performance and social difficulties. Low self-esteem, identity confusion, and behavioral issues such as Oppositional Defiant Disorder or Conduct Disorder are common. Mental health issues like depression, anxiety, and even substance abuse may arise as coping mechanisms. These children often face challenges transitioning into adulthood, struggling with unhealthy relationships, economic instability, and intergenerational trauma. They may also develop institutionalization syndrome, becoming overly reliant on structured environments and struggling with independence. Without proper support, they are vulnerable to exploitation and manipulation. The long-term impact can be profound, affecting their ability to lead fulfilling, productive lives and perpetuating cycles of trauma across generations.

Universalism promotes ethical systems based on shared human rights, empathy, and global citizenship, which can conflict with religious teachings that emphasize adherence to divine commands or group-specific moralities. Indoctrinated individuals almost inevitably would struggle to adopt or even comprehend ethical frameworks that prioritize humanistic values over religiously dictated ones, leading to moral rigidity or an inability to engage with contemporary global ethical issues like climate change, social justice, or human rights.

That's peninsular. Sarawak is gearing up to overtake .......hehe

On Feb 29, the Jeneri state assemblyman maintained his not guilty plea for two charges of uttering seditious words regarding the Selangor MB’s appointment and the unity government’s formation during the said ceramah.

Exactly. They just need handouts - fast cash.......and divine promises. Who needs clean water there??????

Of course, Kelantan is exceptional. That's a theocratic state since merdeka, Sslee

While 90% EPF members under age 30 would not be expected to retire with more than RM240k saving.......

It is unethical, potentially sinful, and non-halal for Members of Parliament (MPs) in Malaysia to receive large pensions—reportedly RM100,000+ per month—while the nation faces rising poverty, an expanding B40 (bottom 40% income earners) population, and increasing national debt is grounded in both moral and socio-economic considerations.

A Case for losing MB post-The hidden cost of low quality education: Law maker or breaker? Punishment of RM5,000 and imprisonment of 3 years?

Did he plead guilty or innocence? The court case still has to proceed; or can conclude and pass sentence straightaway?

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.

Demacracy has no meaning if the country undermines the democratic ideal of equality, where each person should have an equal voice regardless of their strength, resources, or influence.

Democracy has no value when it contradicts the democratic value of protecting the rights and interests of all citizens.

Promotes Short-Term Selfish Gain & Long Term RM100000 Monthly Pension Despite Worsening Rakyat Economic Status and Country Debt: In Darwinism, the focus is often on individual survival and success. Applied to politics, this could lead to leaders prioritizing short-term personal or party gains over the long-term wellbeing of the society. Policies would be made not for the collective good but for maintaining power, which is harmful to societal progress.

Encourages Divisiveness and Polarization: Without embracing universalism, Darwinian competition pits individuals and groups against one another. If political systems operate under this principle, it can lead to extreme polarization, where political parties and ideologies become more divided, seeking to "defeat" the opposition rather than working towards compromise and unity. This can paralyze governance and fracture social cohesion.

Democracy cannot eardicate poverty better than China-cracy without functioning democratic institutions meant to ensure fairness, transparency, and accountability.

Yes, indeed. When Darwinian principles are applied to democratic politics, it distorts the foundational ideals of fairness, cooperation, and shared governance, potentially leading to societal inequality, corruption, and division.

Only by reforming these pensions could symbolize solidarity between government officials and the rakyat (people), demonstrating a willingness to share in the sacrifices needed to address the nation’s economic challenges.

Members of Parliament (MPs) in Malaysia should cap their monthly take-home pay at RM1,000 to set an example of "kepimpinan melalui teladan" (leadership by example)

Kepimpinan melalui teladan: Cap their monthly take home @ RM1k.....hehe

About the EPF saving concerns, so maybe all those exorbitant pensions can go to fund the aging population. Khazanah Research Institute said in the report --> "It also assumes that Malaysians only use RM1,000 per month for 20 years.", so RM1K is enough to survive per month, so ALL MPs pensions and salaries do not need RM10K above? Is this really enough? I think reality is not that. KRI report has problem, but this is Malaysia Bolehland...

The argument outlines a potential profit scenario for Capital A (formerly AirAsia Group) following its restructuring plan. Capital A plans to sell its aviation arm, retaining an 18.39% stake, while holding onto its non-aviation segments like **Asia Digital Engineering (ADE)**, **Teleport**, **AirAsia MOVE SuperApp**, and **BigPay**. The earnings from its remaining stake in AirAsia Aviation Group (AAG) could amount to **RM2.28 billion** based on projected revenues of RM12.4 billion in 2025.

For the non-aviation segments:
- **ADE (MRO services)** could generate RM4.6 billion from capturing 1% of the global MRO market.
- **Teleport (logistics)** could add RM5 billion if it captures 2% of Southeast Asia’s logistics market.
- **AirAsia MOVE SuperApp** might bring in RM2.3 billion from user transactions.
- **BigPay (fintech)** could generate RM4.6 billion from a small portion of the digital payments market.

These projections suggest that **Capital A** could see a total revenue of approximately **RM18.78 billion** by 2025, combining both its aviation and non-aviation businesses. The analysis hinges on market growth assumptions and Capital A's ability to capture significant market shares in these sectors.

Punishment of RM5,000 and imprisonment of 3 years?

Means what? Did he plead guilty or innocence? The court case still has to proceed; or can conclude and pass sentence straightaway? Which panel code to go by?

The disconnect between the B40's struggles and MPs receiving hefty pensions contributes to the erosion of public trust. Many feel that public officials are out of touch with the realities of the people they represent, which undermines democratic governance. Citizens may question whether leaders who benefit from such privileges are incentivized to address poverty, improve social services, or reduce national debt.

Part 4: Political Implications and Gettng Ready to Win GE16

Holy script An-Nisa (4:58) commands that "You should render back the trusts to those to whom they are due, and when you judge between people, judge with justice." This verse can be interpreted to mean that MPs, as stewards of the public’s trust and resources, should ensure that funds are distributed fairly and for the benefit of all, particularly the poor and underprivileged.

Part 3: Religious Duty and Social Justice

The juxtaposition between poverty and luxury: In a time of economic strain, it is difficult to justify MPs receiving pensions of such magnitude. These funds could be better used to support critical social programs for the needy or invested in public services. Public outcry and growing dissatisfaction reflect how citizens perceive these pensions as wasteful and inconsistent with the economic realities most people face.

Post-Covid pandemic, Malaysia's B40 community is severely impacted by rising living costs, stagnant wages, and limited social safety nets. As the national debt increases, there is mounting pressure on the government to introduce austerity measures such as cutting subsidies, reducing public services, and potentially raising taxes. Meanwhile, government officials, including MPs, continue to enjoy pensions that far exceed what is seen in other sectors.

Part 2: Economic Context - Worsening Poverty and National Debt

The concept of "halal" extends beyond what is permitted or lawful in food consumption; it also applies to economic activities and societal conduct. The extravagant pensions given to MPs while the country's most vulnerable citizens suffer are neither just nor ethically halal under these interpretations.

Islamic ethics strongly emphasize justice, compassion, and the welfare of the community. In a time when many Malaysians, particularly the B40, are struggling to meet basic needs such as food, shelter, and healthcare, it raises a moral dilemma whether it is justifiable for MPs to receive such large pensions. When there is poverty and hunger, prioritizing self-enrichment or luxurious privileges is antithetical to the teachings of Islam. Prophet had emphasized the importance of leaders being servants to their people, not exploiting their positions for excessive personal gain.

Part: Moral Responsibility
