Zaid Ibrahim's critique of the notion that local Muslims still need guidance on where to eat and shop, even after decades of Islamic education, is both timely and accurate. He rightly skewered the idea that, after extensive religious schooling and exposure to Islamic teachings, Muslims in Malaysia would still require detailed, external instructions on such basic matters.

A leader responsible for guiding the next generation must display sound judgment, responsible communication, and a deep understanding of the challenges facing youth. Demonstrating a pattern of impulsive decisions, inflammatory rhetoric, and a lack of accountability, he risks being viewed as unworthy of the trust placed in youth leaders. A mature, responsible youth leader should inspire hope, foster dialogue, and guide the younger generation toward growth and unity, qualities that seem to be lacking in this case.

Maturity in leadership also involves integrity—standing by principles of honesty, fairness, and respect. Engaging in behavior that lacks these qualities, it signals a failure to lead by example. The youth need leaders who can guide them not just with rhetoric, but through integrity in their actions.

Setting a Poor Example: Youth leaders are role models, and their actions and words significantly influence the attitudes and behaviors of the younger generation. Exhibiting impulsive behavior, poor judgment, and immaturity, he sets a poor example for the youth who may emulate these qualities. Youth leaders should embody qualities like patience, wisdom, and the ability to navigate complex issues with grace and composure.

Failing to Address Core Youth Issues: Immaturity in leadership can also be seen in the failure to address the real issues faced by youth today, such as education, employment, mental health, and climate change. His kangkung leadership lacks substance in these areas and is more focused on trivial or sensational topics, it reflects a lack of depth and maturity in understanding what truly matters to the youth.

Disrespectful of seniors- A mature leader is open to learning from others and engaging in constructive dialogue. Egoistically showing resistance to listening to opposing views or demonstrates a rigid mindset, he may lack the maturity needed to navigate the complexities of leading young people in a diverse, pluralistic society. Effective youth leaders need to model open-mindedness and the ability to adapt based on feedback and constructive criticism.

Immaturity in leadership can manifest as short-sightedness or an inability to see beyond immediate issues. Focusing primarily on short-term controversies or reactionary policies without presenting a broader, long-term vision for the youth of Malaysia, it reflects poorly on his leadership capabilities. A true youth leader should inspire a long-term vision that encourages personal growth, societal responsibility, and global-mindedness.

A key responsibility of any youth leader is to inspire positive change and forward-thinking ideas. If his communication style focuses more on criticism, conflict, or sensationalism rather than promoting growth, innovation, and unity among the youth, it would highlight his lack of maturity and readiness for the role.

He frequently uses divisive or inflammatory rhetoric in his speeches or social media presence, it can be seen as a sign of immaturity. Youth leaders are role models for communication, and their words should inspire and unite rather than provoke and divide. Impulsive or inflammatory language can create unnecessary tensions in a society already dealing with sensitive issues like religion, race, or cultural differences.

He tends to respond emotionally or impulsively to public matters without fully considering the consequences, it shows a level of immaturity. Youth leaders are expected to display calm and composed behavior, especially under pressure, to set a positive example for younger generations. Reactionary leadership may lead to divisiveness and confusion rather than fostering constructive dialogue.

His impulsive actions, emotional statements, and immature leadership style that do not align with the qualities expected from a responsible and effective leader for youth.

Halal- why ban? Unless proven can cause addiction and has clear harmful effects to health- like the eyes, cardiovascular, metabolic, etc

Like "Little Napoleons" in modern systems, local officials in Mesopotamia used their positions for personal enrichment, rather than facilitating trade or providing public services. The wealth of the state was drained by this parasitic class of officials, leading to food shortages, reduced productivity, and social unrest.

Funny enough, segregation might just be the secret sauce for peace! In a society where religious sensitivities are on high alert, drawing clear food boundaries could prevent any accidental "oops" moments. This way, Muslims and non-Muslims can chow down on their preferred dishes without worrying about stepping on anyone's dietary toes or bending the rules!

For Malsia, the lessons are clear: without decisive reforms to remove parasitic middlemen, inefficient agencies, and entrenched interests, the nation risks economic stagnation, social discontent, and a loss of competitiveness in the global economy. Ancient civilizations serve as a stark reminder that ignoring these issues can lead to unsalvageable decline.

By keeping non-Muslims out of Muslim eateries, we can keep the Halal vibes pure and untouched—like a food sanctuary where even the spices pray five times a day!

Being accused or fitnah of making a statement she never made, this would be a clear case of falsity. The essence of defamation lies in false claims, and fabricating her opinion or "tokok tambah" (exaggerating or adding false elements) means that the statement is not based on truth, but rather on a deliberate distortion of her actual words.

His lack of diplomacy and balance in dealing with sensitive issues is glaring, stirring unnecessarily provocative and as pandering to extremist sentiments rather than fostering inclusiveness. This approach alienates more moderate factions of the population, which is critical for a youth leader

This time, she got same level of confidence or not?

Agricultural decline: The agricultural base of the empire began to erode due to poor management of irrigation systems and the overuse of farmland. This led to food shortages, population decline, and social unrest.

Overemphasis on orthodoxy: Religious orthodoxy became a central focus, which, while unifying in some respects, also led to resistance to change and an inability to adapt to evolving social and political realities.

Cultural and Intellectual Decline:

- Shift from rationalism to conservatism: During the early centuries, its world was a hub of scientific, philosophical, and cultural advancements. However, a gradual shift toward delusion, conservatism and dogmatism, especially from the 11th century onward, led to the suppression of free inquiry and intellectual stagnation.

- Loss of innovation: The decline in scientific and technological progress weakened the empire’s ability to compete with rising European powers, contributing to its eventual downfall.

The empire’s initial strength lay in its ability to integrate diverse peoples and promote intellectual and economic flourishing, but its later period was characterized by fragmentation, stagnation, and vulnerability to external forces.

But subsequently led to their downfall too

It did serve the purpose to unite mob of ppl to serve their leaders with the promise of iut-of-misery blissful afterlife in heaven

As a youth leader, fostering inclusiveness across ethnic and religious lines is important for building a future generation of unified citizens. However, some of his actions clearly lean towards reinforcing conservative or nationalist rhetoric, which limit his ability to connect with a broader, more diverse local youth demographic

A leader must demonstrate honesty, ethical behavior, and take responsibility for their actions to earn respect, build credibility and most importantly influence others positively and constructively.

The ability to navigate changing environments and consider diverse perspectives helps a leader address the evolving challenges facing youth - with or without delusions

Defamation laws exist to protect individuals from fitnah and false statements that damage their reputation. If his accusation causes her to be viewed in a negative light—either personally or professionally—she has the right to seek redress. Such an accusation could damage her political career, trust with her constituents, and public image.

Politicians are often the subject of public debate, but this does not absolve individuals from making false claims about them. While freedom of speech is protected, it does not extend to the right to defame someone, even in the context of political discourse. Public figures, while subject to greater scrutiny, are still entitled to protection against fabricated statements.

Can PM announce those born after 1957 are Malaysians?

While the religious bodies play a significant role in cultural and spiritual matters, the allocation of public funds to these agencies is often questioned, especially in times of economic stress. Some argue that focusing on providing basic needs like education, healthcare, housing, and infrastructure would have a more direct and measurable impact on national prosperity than maintaining extensive religious bureaucracies.

Malsia must do the only one right thing i.e. streamline all eateries to be 1msian-friendly- streamline its regulatory functions, allowing for more direct business operations without the need for religious bodies like JKIM to have such a prominent role in commercial and certification processes. This could lead to a less politicized, more economically progressive environment that favors transparency and direct governance.

We got no time for that- don't u see the country debt would become unbearable soon. Still have to hold on to all the dinosaur policies, principles and practices by all the dinosaur agencies?

Yes, it is absolutely useless doing lip services only- but paradoxically contradicting when comes to action. After all, action speak louder that words

Unfortunately, 3R in the context of the 21st-century Industrial Revolution 4.0 that everyone should learn, internalise and master are:

Resilient: Emphasizes the need for systems and businesses to be adaptable and robust in the face of rapid technological changes and disruptions.

Responsive: Highlights the importance of agility and quick adaptation to emerging trends, technologies, and market demands.

Revolutionary: Reflects the transformative impact of Industry 4.0 technologies, driving innovation and significant changes in industry practices and processes.

How ill-prepared could we be?

Foundation of Morality and Behavior

God-fearing Society: In a god-fearing society, morality is typically grounded in religious teachings, with individuals encouraged (or required) to follow divine laws and principles. The primary motivation for ethical behavior stems from the fear of divine punishment or the desire for reward in the afterlife. Religious texts, clergy, or religious institutions often play a key role in shaping the rules and expectations for how people should live.
Outcome: People may adhere to moral codes out of obligation or fear, but this often results in superficial compliance. The focus is more on avoiding sin than on cultivating independent ethical reasoning. There might be limited room for questioning, innovation, or debate if religious dogma is seen as absolute.

Mature Society: A mature society encourages people to take personal responsibility for their actions based on critical thinking, ethical reasoning, and empathy, without necessarily relying on religious edicts. Morality is often shaped by social contracts, human rights, and universal principles such as justice, fairness, and equality.
Outcome: Citizens are empowered to think for themselves, take responsibility for their actions, and contribute to societal progress. They are motivated by an intrinsic understanding of right and wrong, rather than external fear. This often leads to more openness, adaptability, and progress in fields like science, education, and human rights.

Yes, the real focus is to put a full stop to such hypocrisy - cruelty, hostility and bigotry. An push just focus on building Utopia on earth here

What!??? Utopia is here on earth?
