Prevention Is better than cure. Avoiding Unintended Consequences: Many policies, though beneficial on the surface, may have unintended consequences that could fuel racial disparities or tensions. The Unity Ministry, with its dedicated focus on national cohesion, is well-positioned to detect these potential outcomes. By involving this ministry in the early stages, Malaysia can avoid costly mistakes that may have long-term negative implications for interracial relationships.

All because unity minister makan gaji buta

Penal Code (Act 574): Sodomy is criminalized under Section 377A and 377B of the Penal Code, which addresses carnal intercourse against the order of nature. Engaging in sodomy, whether consensual or not, is a punishable offense with imprisonment of up to 20 years and whipping. If sodomy involves a minor (under 18 years old), it would be considered statutory rape, as minors cannot legally consent to sexual activities. The penalties are harsher when it involves children.

Section 201 of the Penal Code: This section covers the concealment of an offense. Any individual who, knowing that an offense such as sodomy has been committed, hides evidence or fails to disclose it to the authorities can face punishment, including imprisonment of up to 7 years, or fines, or both.

In Malaysia, failing to report or concealing cases of sodomy, especially involving minors, is a serious offense with legal consequences.

Promoting Unity in Diversity (and for our beer-loving foreign tourist): Malaysia is a multi-ethnic and multi-religious country. The creation of JAKSIM would offer a holistic approach to spirituality that transcends religious lines, catering to all Malaysians regardless of their faith background. This department could promote values like compassion, unity, ethics, and mindfulness, which resonate across various belief systems. In this sense, it could act as a unifying force, reducing tensions stemming from religious divides and fostering a more cohesive Malaysian identity.

Child Act 2001 (Act 611): Section 27 of the Child Act 2001 imposes a duty on certain individuals (including doctors, teachers, and social workers) to report cases of child abuse or neglect, including sexual abuse such as sodomy.

Offense for Failing to Report: If a person fails to report any knowledge or reasonable suspicion of child abuse to the authorities, they may be fined up to RM5, mil or face imprisonment of up to 20 years, or both. This law is particularly aimed at those responsible for the welfare of children, such as caregivers in schools, hospitals, or child care facilities

Prevention of Racial Tensions: With Malay, Chinese, Indian, and indigenous communities coexisting, fostering unity among these diverse groups is essential for social harmony, economic progress, and national stability. Malaysia has witnessed episodes of racial tensions in the past, often ignited by sensitive policies, statements, or legislative changes that were not thoroughly scrutinized for their impact on race relations. By having the Unity Ministry review initiatives, proposals, and legal drafts first, it provides a safeguard against potential conflicts. Policies that are well-intentioned but may inadvertently marginalize or offend a particular community can be adjusted or reconsidered before they are introduced.

Let Sarawak be the model & take the lead. Encouraging National Identity Over Ethnic Identity: When policies are consistently framed to emphasize unity, it encourages Malaysians to think of themselves as part of one nation rather than being segmented by race. This national identity can lead to greater cooperation in all aspects of life, from politics to business, and ultimately, a stronger and more resilient Malaysia.

Stop makan gaji buta. Diversity is both our strength and its vulnerability. Prioritizing interracial relationships by mandating that the Unity Ministry reviews all proposals, initiatives, and legal drafts before public discussion or cabinet deliberation is a proactive approach to ensuring national unity. It will help build a more integrated, peaceful, and prosperous Malaysia, where all races work together towards common goals.

By right all initiatives, proposals and legal drafts must be screened by unity ministry first - before being allowed to be announced to the public or discussed in the cabinet

They always set wrong priority. Belum strengthen our interracial relationship, sudah introduce macam macam to break them apart further - as though really doing the nation any good.

Invested over hundred million dollars in cctv- latest ones with 360 degree high definition- just to bring down legitimate road users. Shouldn't the priority should be CCTV and drones for city surveillance and safety first - else whence got democracy - for the people?

Need - over RM1 billion funding per year - 27 years for Jakimm.....and we got nothing? For a start, we'll ask for RM27 billion this year budget. Next we'll develop Sarawak ahead of Nusantara

Easy - arrest the few CEOs and supervisors who have claimed to have knowledge about these cases A.S.A.P - and retain their passport. That will be a good start in the investigation - no fears or favours

Way forward to progress as a United nation of peninsular, Sabah and Sarawak - It is high time for each equal partner to Malaysia, specifically Sabah and Sarawak, to receive a substantial annual budget dedicated to the establishment of a new department akin to JAKIM (Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia), but instead, focused on the broader notion of spirituality for all Malaysians. This new entity, called JAKSIM (Jabatan Kemajuan Spirituality untuk Semua Malaysians), would represent a bold and inclusive step towards fostering national unity through a focus on spiritual well-being beyond specific religious boundaries.

Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017: If an institution or responsible person knowingly conceals or fails to report such an offense, they could be charged under this act.

True - caring, welfare and charity must begin at homeland. This globetrotting guy and his free riding gang cut subsidies and all departmental budget except Jakimm and free overseas trip for vvips - letting own country economy continues to burn

True - I know

Since such a ministerial post was created, the achieved KPI has been consistently negative 50 percent (-50%). It's existence for what??????

Of legal eye-witness, in-house investigator, record-keeper & punishment executor

Religiosity may suit those who seek structured guidance, a sense of communal identity, or a way to align with a tradition. For such individuals, religion provides a clear roadmap to moral living, answers to existential questions, and social cohesion. However, for others, religiosity may feel restrictive or dogmatic. Some may struggle with the institutional aspects of religion, such as rules and interpretations, leading to alienation or discomfort.

Spirituality: Personal and Inclusive: Spirituality is more personal and often broader. It refers to an individual’s sense of connection with something greater than oneself, whether that’s God, the universe, nature, or the collective consciousness of humanity. Spirituality emphasizes inner experiences and can be more inclusive and flexible, without being tied to specific doctrines or practices. This makes it accessible to a wider range of individuals, regardless of cultural or religious background. Because spirituality does not require formal affiliation with a religion, it is appealing to those who seek meaning or purpose without necessarily subscribing to organized belief systems.

Religiosity vs. Spirituality: Diversity of Needs : People have different psychological, emotional, and cultural needs. Religiosity offers certainty, communal rituals, and ethical codes, which can be comforting to those who prefer clear guidance. Conversely, spirituality offers freedom to explore meaning in a way that resonates on a personal level. It allows for flexibility and adaptation to individual beliefs and circumstances, which may be appealing to those who question or reject formal institutions.

Universal Appeal of Spirituality: Spirituality taps into the common human experience of seeking purpose, connectedness, and inner peace. It can resonate with believers and non-believers alike because it is rooted in personal experience rather than external authority. Practices like mindfulness, meditation, and gratitude—often associated with spirituality—transcend specific religious contexts and can be incorporated into anyone’s life, making them more universally accessible.

Religiosity serves as a suitable framework for those who prefer structure, tradition, and communal worship, while spirituality, being more fluid and individualized, can meet the universal human desire for transcendence, connection, and meaning.

Emphasizing strict religious orthodoxy limits the capacity for critical thinking, modern scientific advancements, and philosophical inquiry. By placing religious dogma over scientific thought, the party risks closing Malaysia off from global intellectual progress, mirroring the stagnation of Islamic civilization post-11th century when dogmatism overshadowed intellectual curiosity

While PAS claims to champion Islam, its narrow, conservative approach would push Malaysia towards a similar fate as that of the Islamic world after the 11th century—where rigid orthodoxy, rejection of pluralism, and intellectual stagnation led to the decline of a once-thriving civilization. Instead of fostering a renewed era of progress and enlightenment, PAS is steering the country toward an insular and divided society, detached from the global advancements that have historically marked the greatness of Islamic civilization. By doing so, Malaysia could see the end of its own version of an Islamic "golden age," with the country slipping into stagnation rather than thriving as a pluralistic, forward-thinking nation.

These leadership issues have contributed to a broader sense of economic decline and social fragmentation. Politicking has diverted attention from the urgent need for structural reforms in the economy, particularly in areas like inequality, wage stagnation, and the cost of living. Frequent political instability has led to a loss of investor confidence, exacerbating economic challenges.

Socially, the rise of ethno-religious identity politics, often fueled by political leaders for short-term gain, has deepened divisions within the country. This has had a significant impact on national unity, with increasing segregation in education and societal interactions along ethnic and religious lines. For instance, the continued politicization of *Bumiputera* policies and the marginalization of minority communities have worsened social cohesion.

Overall, the intertwining of politics, weak governance, and leadership issues underlines Malaysia's struggle to effectively address these challenges, leading to a vicious cycle of mistrust and stagnation.

Si jahil yang berlagak tahu" (Ignorant people pretending to be knowledgeable): In the context of governance, there have been instances where individuals appointed to key government roles lacked the necessary expertise. For example, criticisms have been levied at ministers in charge of important portfolios like health, education, and finance who were perceived as not fully understanding the complexity of the issues they were tasked with managing.
The previous education minister, for example, faced heavy criticism for the handling of the national education system, which is widely regarded as declining in quality. Malaysia’s performance in international assessments like PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) has shown stagnation or decline over the years, highlighting the growing concern over educational standards. The rise of racial and religious polarization in educational policies, coupled with an overemphasis on rote learning rather than critical thinking, has worsened the perception of incompetence in leadership.
In addition, concerns about leaders making uninformed or populist decisions, especially during times of crisis, have fueled this narrative. The handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly during the PN government's tenure, drew mixed responses, with criticisms directed at the inconsistency in policies and communication, contributing to further distrust in the leadership's competence.

Pengkhianat diberikan amanah" (Traitors being entrusted with responsibilities - to handle Covid-19, resulting in casually to pharma and country debt from 1 to 1.5 trillion dollar): The Sheraton Move in 2020, which led to the collapse of the PH government and the rise of *Perikatan Nasional* (PN), was seen by many as a betrayal of the people's mandate. The move, spearheaded by figures like Muhyiddin Yassin and Azmin Ali, reinforced the narrative that political leaders often act in self-interest rather than in service to the public.

Golongan pembohong menjadi pemimpin" (Liars becoming leaders): The government, led by Mahthir after the historic 2018 election, was criticized for not fully delivering on its reform agenda, particularly in areas such as institutional transparency and governance. The promise to abolish tolls, reduce the cost of living, and implement political reforms created high expectations, but when many of these promises were not realized, the credibility of leadership was questioned.

Hadi is correct - golongan pembohong menjadi pemimpin, pengkhianat diberikan amanah, dan si jahil yang berlagak tahu!

So we are ready to launch JAKSIM as soon as Jakimm cert is made compulsory - not unlike the analogy of launching Huawei Mate XT to rival iPhone 16

JAKSIM is ready for emerging Technologies and Innovations: Innovations in the food industry, such as lab-grown meat or plant-based alternatives, pose challenges for halal certification. Traditional halal standards may struggle to keep pace with these innovations, as they are rooted in centuries-old religious texts, while modern food safety standards are constantly evolving to embrace new technologies and scientific developments.

JAKSIM uses modern tech - In the 21st-century food industry, regular auditing, inspections, and real-time monitoring are critical to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations. Halal certification, in some cases, lacks the same level of stringent, frequent auditing, and may not fully integrate technological advancements like blockchain or smart tracking used in modern food safety protocols.

JAKSIM is well-aligned with the modern food industry that increasingly emphasizes transparency across the supply chain, driven by consumer demands for ethical sourcing, environmental sustainability, and detailed ingredient tracking.

JAKSIM is well-aligned with Modern food safety regulations, such as HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) or ISO standards, focus on minimizing contamination, ensuring product consistency, and promoting public health through science-backed practices.

Yes, this alternative is clearly better because JAKSIM incorporates the rigorous scientific, safety, and health protocols that modern food industry standards demand.

Unlike jakimm certification and its many exclusive, divisive and polarising agenda, JAKSIM will serve Malsia better towards a united, prosperous and corruption-free nation for the 21st Century to nagivate IR 4.0 & beyond

......but we need annual billion dollar budget like what jakim received, in order to run this alternative, except one at zero fees to applicants

No worries. We Sarawakian is working on JAKSIM certification - as an alternative to jakim (at zero fees and can get in one week)

Promoting Unity in Diversity: By establishing JAKSIM-certified eateries, Malaysia can promote a shared experience among people of various cultural and religious backgrounds. These certified eateries would encourage Malaysians to explore diverse culinary traditions and spiritual values, fostering mutual respect and understanding. Dining together in a space certified for pluralism could break down stereotypes and enhance harmony.

Empowering Sabah and Sarawak: By dedicating a substantial annual budget to Sabah and Sarawak, the government would recognize these regions as equal partners in the nation’s development. JAKSIM could serve as a platform to elevate the spiritual practices and traditions unique to the indigenous peoples of these states. This recognition would ensure that their voices and spiritual heritage are woven into the national fabric, contributing to a richer, more unified Malaysia.

Economic and Social Growth: The introduction of JAKSIM-certified eateries could boost the local economy by creating a new niche market for spiritually conscious dining experiences. These eateries would need to adhere to specific guidelines that honor various spiritual values, which could, in turn, attract both locals and tourists seeking meaningful, inclusive dining experiences. The growth of such businesses could further strengthen communal ties and provide employment opportunities.

Wake up unity minister!!- or relinquish post. Spiritual Well-Being and Mental Health:
A focus on spirituality can have profound effects on mental health and well-being. JAKSIM, as a department focused on holistic spirituality, could introduce programs and certifications that promote not just physical health but also emotional and spiritual balance. By ensuring that certified eateries provide food in line with these values, Malaysia could foster an environment where eating out is not just a social activity but also a spiritually enriching experience.

Unite we stand, divide we fall: Unlike bigotry & lopsidedJAKIMM, which is focused primarily on Islmic affairs and halal certification, JAKSIM would cater to a broader spectrum of spiritual well-being. This inclusiveness could create a dining environment where all Malaysians—irrespective of their religion, beliefs, or spiritual practices—feel represented. Sabah and Sarawak, being culturally diverse, would particularly benefit from such inclusivity, as this approach could integrate indigenous and other faiths into the national consciousness.

Ini saja jalan untuk menjernihkan keadaan (yang telah dikeruhkan oleh jakimm)...establishing JAKSIM would not only recognize the equal partnership of Sabah and Sarawak but also foster national unity, address modern spiritual needs, and create a more equitable distribution of resources. This department would provide Malaysians with a platform for inclusive spiritual growth, strengthening the moral fabric of the nation and helping it progress both economically and ethically.

Fostering Global Competitiveness through Moral and Spiritual Leadership: In an increasingly globalized world, nations are evaluated not only on economic or technological progress but also on their moral and ethical leadership. JAKSIM could position Malaysia as a global leader in promoting a balanced, ethical, and spiritually grounded society. Such an initiative could enhance Malaysia’s reputation as a peaceful, inclusive, and morally progressive nation.

Rebalancing Development Funds for Sabah and Sarawak: Historically, Sabah and Sarawak have not received the same level of infrastructure and social development funding as Peninsular Malaysia. Establishing JAKSIM with a multi-billion budget would be a significant step in rebalancing the allocation of resources. This department could support programs that are culturally specific to the regions, respecting indigenous practices while promoting spiritual progress in the broader Malaysian context.

It is high time for each equal partner to Malaysia, specifically Sabah and Sarawak, to receive a substantial annual budget dedicated to the establishment of a new department akin to JAKIM (Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia), but instead, focused on the broader notion of spirituality for all Malaysians. This new entity, called JAKSIM (Jabatan Kemajuan Spirituality untuk Semua Malaysians), would represent a bold and inclusive step towards fostering national unity through a focus on spiritual well-being beyond specific religious boundaries.
