Promoting Inclusivity & Prevention of Controversial/Provoking Announcement: Screening by the Unity Ministry ensures that all new policies and proposals are inclusive and do not disproportionately favor one group over another. This prevents alienation of minority communities and builds a sense of belonging. Policies vetted through the lens of unity would promote equality and respect for all races, reinforcing Malaysia's ethos of "Keluarga Malaysia" (Malaysian Family).

The claim that Chinese and Indian Malaysians conversing in their mother tongues causes distrust in the Malay community violates several legal and constitutional provisions. It contravenes **Articles 8, 10, and 152** of the Federal Constitution, which guarantee equality, freedom of expression, and protection of linguistic diversity. Additionally, such a claim could be seen as **inciting racial tension**, violating provisions under the **Penal Code and the Sedition Act**. Finally, the statement contradicts the spirit of the **Rukun Negara**, which emphasizes national unity and respect for Malaysia's diverse cultural and linguistic heritage.

Symbol of Pluralism and Progress: Establishing a new department like JAKSIM, separate from JAKIM, would signal to the world that Malaysia is serious about promoting pluralism and spiritual unity. It would show that the nation values the spiritual needs of all its citizens, regardless of faith, and is committed to moving forward in a way that respects the diversity of its people.

5% should be the magic number

Education: Providing children with a broad, balanced education helps them develop critical thinking skills. This includes teaching them to analyze information, question assumptions, and understand diverse perspectives.

Protecting the children - all similar naive, innocent and vulnerable: There is no trust more sacred than the one the world holds with children. There is no duty more important than ensuring that their rights are respected, that their welfare is protected, that their lives are free from fear and want and that they can grow up in peace; and that their rationality and sensibility are protected.

Irrationality can stem from a sense of moral superiority, where fundamentalists believe their beliefs are the only correct ones. This can create echo chambers where only reinforcing views are accepted, leading to groupthink and resistance to critical thinking.

Haramkan terus je. Waiting for more obesity, diabetes, heart problem, cancer and knee and spine damages to happen? Nothing more addictive and harmful than sugar (except digital devices and social media)

Preventive Measures: The haram status of tobacco in Malaysia serves as a preventive measure to protect individuals from harm. Similarly, restricting sugar could serve as a preventive measure against the onset of chronic diseases. By categorizing sugar as haram, individuals would be discouraged from excessive consumption, leading to improved overall health and reduced healthcare costs.

Public Health Burden: Tobacco’s classification as haram reflects the need to mitigate its impact on public health. Sugar, too, contributes to a substantial public health burden, straining healthcare systems with the rising costs associated with treating sugar-related illnesses. Addressing sugar in a similar manner could alleviate this strain and promote a healthier society.

Health Impacts: Just as tobacco is deemed haram due to its severe health consequences, including cancer and cardiovascular diseases, sugar poses significant health risks. Excessive sugar consumption is linked to numerous health issues, including diabetes, obesity, and heart disease. The detrimental effects of sugar on public health are well-documented and parallel the health concerns associated with tobacco.

Sugar. Time for whose head to roll. Sleeping on their jobs, makan gaji buta for ages, yet - still sugar intake is undeniably a primary driver of Malaysia’s diabesity epidemic. The excessive consumption of sugar-laden foods and beverages is fueling a rise in obesity, diabetes, and related metabolic disorders.

Sleeping on their jobs, makan gaji buta for ages, yet - still sugar intake is undeniably a primary driver of Malaysia’s diabesity epidemic. The excessive consumption of sugar-laden foods and beverages is fueling a rise in obesity, diabetes, and related metabolic disorders.

Sugar intake is linked to increased risks of heart disease, stroke, and early death. High sugar consumption can lead to insulin resistance, high blood pressure, and inflammation, all of which contribute to cardiovascular complications. This is especially critical given that cardiovascular disease remains one of the leading causes of death in Malaysia.

In Islam, any behavior or substance that causes widespread harm to the community (*ummah*) is discouraged. Sugar, as a leading cause of these chronic diseases, burdens not only individuals but also the healthcare system, causing suffering and economic strain. By reducing or eliminating sugar consumption, Malaysia could reduce the incidence of these diseases, saving lives and reducing healthcare costs. The Islamic concept of *maslahah* (public interest) supports the idea of prioritizing actions that benefit the collective well-being of society.

Malaysia faces a growing epidemic of obesity and diabetes, with sugar being a major contributor. According to statistics, Malaysia has one of the highest rates of diabetes in Asia, largely driven by the overconsumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and processed foods. Obesity, in turn, increases the risk of other metabolic diseases, including cardiovascular problems, hypertension, and even certain cancers.

Sugar has been shown to have addictive properties, creating a cycle of craving that can be difficult to break. Research suggests that sugar can activate the brain's reward system in a similar way to addictive drugs, leading to compulsive consumption and dependency. This addiction is particularly concerning because it affects not only adults but also children, who are easily hooked on sugary foods and drinks.

Fundamentalist ideologies reject scientific discoveries, especially when they conflict with literal interpretations of sacred texts or core principles. For instance, some religious fundamentalists dismiss evolutionary theory or climate science despite overwhelming evidence, clinging to older beliefs instead.

Irrationality arises when individuals experience cognitive dissonance—holding conflicting beliefs or attitudes—yet refuse to reconcile them. Rather than adjusting beliefs in the face of contradictory evidence, fundamentalists might double down on their convictions or reinterpret evidence in ways that fit their worldview.

Fundamentalist thinking tends to be black-and-white, with little room for nuance or complexity. This inflexibility often leads to an "us vs. them" mentality, where alternative viewpoints are seen as threats. Irrational behavior may involve demonizing opponents or refusing to engage in meaningful dialogue.

Fundamentalism often roots itself in fear—fear of societal change, loss of tradition, or erosion of power. This fear can lead to irrational reactions, such as clinging to outdated practices or promoting conspiracy theories to justify resistance to progress.

The irrational aspects of Fundamentalism emerge when such rigid adherence disregards new information, alternative perspectives, or empirical evidence.

Promoting sense and sensibility among school learners in a pluralistic society is far more important and unifying than emphasizing religion. In a diverse society, students come from various cultural, religious, and ethnic backgrounds, each with its own belief systems. Focusing on religion in schools risks deepening divisions and fostering a sense of "otherness" among students of different faiths. Instead, nurturing critical thinking, empathy, and respect for differences can create a shared framework for unity and cooperation.

The mentality of objectifying women stems from deep-rooted societal, cultural, and psychological factors. It involves reducing women to their physical attributes or treating them as objects for sexual gratification, rather than as individuals with autonomy, emotions, and complexity. This objectification is often reinforced by media, pornography, social norms, and sometimes even institutional structures.

Threat to Human Rights of the 21st Century Standard: Fundamentalist politics often imposes strict adherence to specific religious doctrines, which can restrict personal freedoms, particularly in areas like freedom of speech, gender equality, and minority rights. For example, women's rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and freedom of religious belief or non-belief can be suppressed under fundamentalist regimes.

Toxicity: In a political landscape influenced by fundamentalism, dissent and open debate can be stifled. Those who challenge or question the prevailing religious or ideological dogmas may be silenced or punished, creating an environment where critical thinking and intellectual diversity are not welcome.

Polarization and Division: Fundamentalism often divides society into 'us vs. them,' where only those who follow the rigid religious or ideological interpretation are considered legitimate. This polarizes communities, creating social tensions, and sometimes even violent conflicts, as seen in countries where political and religious divides exacerbate instability.

Undermining Rational Policy-Making: Fundamentalist perspectives can influence policies based on religious doctrine rather than rational, evidence-based approaches. This can negatively impact areas like education, healthcare, and economic development, where religious priorities override scientific reasoning or the common good.

Countries influenced by fundamentalism may adopt policies that put them at odds with international norms on human rights, democracy, and cooperation. This can lead to global isolation, economic sanctions, and reduced foreign investment, further exacerbating poverty and underdevelopment.

SARAWAK IS GEARING FORWARD (LEAVING PENINSULAR BEHIND) WITH GOVERNANCE PAR EXCELLENCE: Fundamentalism in politics creates environments where religious dogma dominates public life, curtails freedoms, fosters division, and often leads to undemocratic governance. The blending of fundamentalist ideology with political power challenges modern principles of equality, justice, and rational governance.

PROGRESSIVE EDUCATION, MORALITY AND LIVING VALUES: Sawarak is coming up with the next blueprint consistent with the 21st Century Education Standard to End The Mentality of Objectifying Women In the Future Generation.

Educating the young to prevent the objectification of women is both preventive and salvageable through a comprehensive approach that involves schools, parents, media literacy, and peer influence. The key is fostering empathy, respect, and critical thinking while providing them with tools to recognize and reject objectification in all forms. By raising awareness early on, societies can nurture a generation that values individuals for their full humanity, rather than reducing them to mere objects or sweets madu sugar babes.

School Bystander Intervention Training Program: Teach young people how to intervene when they witness objectifying or disrespectful behavior. Bystander intervention can shift the culture of a group from one that tolerates objectification to one that promotes respect and equality.

Empower young people to become leaders in their peer groups by promoting gender equality and respect. This can help change group dynamics and encourage others to stand against objectifying or sexist behavior.

From parents to teachers to preachers: Boys should be taught to recognize and reject behaviors that objectify women, including street harassment, catcalling, or sexualizing women in conversations. Male role models can help demonstrate what it means to be a respectful and supportive ally to women.

Challenge Toxic Masculinity: For boys, it’s important to dismantle harmful ideas of masculinity that encourage objectifying women as a sign of power or status. Educators and role models should encourage young men to embrace vulnerability, respect, and equality in their interactions with women.

Anti-covering up: Schools and community groups should create safe spaces for young people to discuss gender, power dynamics, relationships, and respect. Encouraging dialogue helps young people process their thoughts, identify harmful behaviors, and work toward positive change.

Anti-Sexual Harassment Programs in Every School: Schools should implement comprehensive anti-sexual harassment programs that educate students about harassment, objectification, and appropriate behavior. This creates a school culture that fosters respect and safety for all students.

Address Stereotypes at Home: Caregivers should challenge gender stereotypes at home and encourage children to engage in activities that defy traditional gender roles, whether it's boys cooking or girls playing sports, showing them that capabilities are not linked to gender.

Ensure that children are exposed to right models - parents, teachers & preachers: Parents and caregivers play a critical role in shaping children’s perceptions of gender. By modeling respectful, egalitarian behavior in their interactions with others, they set the tone for how children will treat people of all genders.

Promote Self-Worth Beyond Appearance, Belief System & Background: Reinforce that self-worth should not be tied to physical attractiveness. Boys and girls should both learn that their value comes from their talents, kindness, intelligence, and integrity.

Engineering from high to low divorce rate: Encourage boys and girls to discuss emotions openly, fostering emotional intelligence. This encourages them to build relationships based on mutual respect and emotional connection, rather than superficial or objectifying tendencies.

Help young people develop critical thinking skills so they can recognize and question preachers' portrayals of women that are sexualized or objectifying. Teaching them how advertising, movies, and social media often promote unrealistic and unhealthy images will allow them to resist internalizing these messages.

Highlight positive portrayals of women in media who demonstrate strength, intelligence, creativity, and agency, providing alternative narratives that focus on women's contributions beyond their appearance.

Youth should be educated on the components of healthy relationships, including communication, equality, and emotional intimacy, rather than relationships built purely on physical attraction.
