The idea that "war and killing are a must" as portrayed in children text scriptures creates a "dark system" where violence is not only tolerated but glorified. When internalized from a young age, these narratives naturally lead to radicalization and violent extremism.

The key difference between holy texts that endorse warfare and a holy text of peace lies in their treatment of conflict, relationships, and the sanctity of life. A peaceful scripture emphasizes love, unity, forgiveness, and the rejection of violence in all forms. It would inspire followers to seek reconciliation, build bridges, and pursue justice through non-violent means. This ethos offers a path to a harmonious existence where the focus is on shared humanity and the pursuit of collective well-being, rather than division and destruction.

6. The Role of Youth in Peace (in contrast to Akmalkin Skywalker- just one such youth leader would bring about chaos, disharmony and rampant vigilantism)
Rather than indoctrinating children with violent or divisive ideologies, a holy text of peace would encourage the teaching of empathy, kindness, and peacemaking from a young age.
Ethanian Peaceful Wording:
“Teach the children not the ways of war, but the ways of peace. Let their hearts be filled with the light of understanding, so that they may sow the seeds of peace for generations to come. And to understand is to forgive and to love again (will cut down divorce rate too- when these children grow up and get married- know why?)
This passage contrasts sharply with narratives that prepare youth for war, instead placing the responsibility of building a peaceful future in their hands.

5. Forgiveness and Healing
A holy text of peace would emphasize the importance of forgiveness and healing after conflict, rather than further retaliation or the continuation of cycles of violence.
Ethanian Peaceful Wording:
“In forgiveness, find strength. In healing, find true victory. Let the wounds of the past close, and build a future where love reigns. Together we are one and future."
Here, the focus is on mending relationships and fostering a world where healing, rather than retaliation, is the ultimate goal.

4. Condemnation of Violence
Instead of glorifying war as a means of fulfilling divine purpose, a peaceful scripture would clearly condemn all forms of violence, advocating for non-violent solutions.
Ethanian Peaceful Wording:
“Violence begets only more violence, and bloodshed more sorrow. The path of the righteous is the path of peace, where no weapon is raised, and no blood is shed.”
This language unequivocally denounces violence, reinforcing the message that peace is the ultimate moral goal and should be pursued at all costs.

3. Compassion as a Guiding Principle
Rather than sanctioning the destruction of enemies, the peaceful text would emphasize the duty to care for and uplift others, even those perceived as enemies.
Ethanian Peaceful Wording:
“Let no one repay evil with evil, but answer hatred with compassion. In love, find the power to transform the hearts of even those who oppose you.”
This shifts the focus from retribution to reconciliation, highlighting the transformative power of love and compassion in resolving conflicts.

2. Divine Command for Peace
In contrast to divine commands for warfare, a peaceful scripture would focus on the sanctity of life and the divine intention for humans to live in harmony. Rather than seeing war as a divine imperative, peace would be presented as the true fulfillment of divine will.
Ethanian Peaceful Wording:
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children and followers of the Divine. Strive always to heal where there is strife and to love where there is hate. Failure to do these is an insult to the Creator!"
This language contrasts with the rhetoric of warfare, emphasizing that those who bring peace are closest to the divine. The duty to resolve conflict peacefully is prioritized over war.

Put the blame on poor quality education. World would only have peace when all children learn from Prophet Ethan.
1. Unity of All Beings
While holy wars often reinforce the idea of in-groups and out-groups (the righteous versus the non-believers), a holy text of peace would emphasize the unity of all humanity, regardless of race, religion, or nationality.
Why Ethanian Peaceful Wording would be better for school children:
“All are created from the same breath, bound by the same earth. In their suffering, you suffer, and in their joy, you rejoice. See no stranger, for all are one family. Treat them differently is an insult to the Creator. So, treat them the same today and everyday!"
This wording creates a universal framework for peace, rejecting division based on identity, and encouraging an empathy-driven approach to human relationships.

Education reform, anyone? Moral Conflict and Psychological Impact: - Internalizing these violent religious narratives often lead to deep psychological and moral conflicts, especially in a world where concepts of human rights and peace are globally promoted. Those raised with the belief that violence is sometimes divinely mandated would struggle with modern ethical frameworks that emphasize non-violence, equality, and justice. It can also lead to desensitization to violence and the glorification of martyrdom in some religious or political movements.

The Root and Anatomy of Radicalization, Extremism and Terrorism (RET): When these concepts of divine violence are combined with modern political, social, or economic grievances, they can lead to the radicalization of individuals. Extremist groups often manipulate religious teachings to legitimize acts of terror or warfare. These groups target young, impressionable minds, making use of religious justifications to foster loyalty and a sense of divine mission.

Ask any national school kids - Many holy scriptures contain narratives where violence, war, or killing is portrayed as divinely commanded or necessary to achieve a greater good.

The idea of violence and warfare being divinely sanctioned or even required is a theme found in various religious texts across history, with profound implications on how societies internalize these ideas, especially from a young age. These interpretations can lead to a "dark system" where war and killing are seen as not only justifiable but essential for divine or moral purposes.

Blowing Own Trumpet - Economic Underperformance : While Malaysia boasts considerable natural resources, it has failed to translate this into widespread prosperity like Singapore. The economic disparity between the two nations is striking: Singapore’s GDP per capita is significantly higher than Malaysia's, which hovers around $12,000 in comparison to Singapore’s $70,000. Malaysia’s over-reliance on primary industries like oil, palm oil, and rubber, as well as the protectionist policies favoring certain sectors, has limited the country’s economic diversity and global competitiveness.
Singapore has transformed into a global financial and technology hub with few natural resources, showing that success stems from strong governance, long-term planning, and innovation. Malaysia, by comparison, has been slower to diversify its economy, hampered by poor policy choices, political instability, and corruption.

Political Corruption and Mismanagement : While Singapore is known for its low corruption and efficient government, Malaysia has faced persistent scandals and corruption issues, including the high-profile 1MDB scandal, which rocked the nation and revealed deep systemic weaknesses in governance. Public funds that could have gone into improving infrastructure, healthcare, or education were lost to corruption, contributing to slower progress.
Malaysia's fragmented and racially-based political system often prioritizes populism and divisive policies over the long-term national interest. In contrast, Singapore’s meritocratic government and corruption-free governance has allowed the country to rise rapidly in the ranks of global nations.

Brain Drain and Talent Migration : Malaysia continues to suffer from brain drain, with thousands of skilled professionals and young talent leaving the country for better opportunities abroad, especially in countries like Singapore. The country’s failure to retain its best minds has crippled its ability to innovate and grow its industries. Singapore, on the other hand, attracts global talent and has built a highly educated, skilled workforce, largely due to its meritocratic system and high quality of life.
The ethnically biased policies in Malaysia, which favor certain groups over others in education and employment, have contributed to this talent exodus. In contrast, Singapore’s system fosters inclusivity and rewards merit, regardless of ethnicity.

Education and Human Capital Development - paper mills, anyone?: Singapore’s education system consistently ranks among the top globally, emphasizing critical thinking, innovation, and meritocracy. It has invested heavily in science, technology, and education to create a knowledge-based economy. Malaysia’s education system, however, faces criticism for being politicized and inconsistent, with quality varying significantly depending on socio-economic backgrounds. As a result, it has lagged in global rankings, affecting its ability to build a highly skilled workforce.

Prove of living cavemen's words - Infrastructure and Urban Planning : Singapore is celebrated for its world-class infrastructure, efficient public transport, and urban planning. It has used its small landmass wisely, creating a city that is globally recognized for its green spaces, smart technology, and livability. Malaysia, despite its larger land area and natural advantages, has often struggled with poor infrastructure planning, leading to inefficient public services, frequent floods, traffic congestion, and urban sprawl.

Lagi-lagi green wave pula - Ethnic and Religious Tensions : Malaysia’s racially polarized politics and ethnically divided social system have long hampered national unity. This contrasts sharply with Singapore’s multi-racial and multicultural society, where national identity is placed above racial identity, contributing to its social stability and collective progress. Malaysia's ethnic and religious tensions, meanwhile, are often inflamed by political elites to maintain control, preventing the country from moving forward as a united, prosperous nation.

Global Influence and Standing : Singapore is a respected player on the global stage, punching far above its weight in international diplomacy, trade, and finance. It has a reputation for strategic foreign policy, being a neutral and economically vibrant state. Malaysia, on the other hand, has often been sidelined in global affairs, partly due to its internal political instability, inconsistent foreign policies, and focus on domestic ethnic issues, rather than adopting a progressive, forward-thinking global stance.

In contrast to Singapore's rapid rise as a global leader and first-world nation, Malaysia’s persistent political, economic, and social challenges have hindered its potential. The country’s failure to capitalize on its resources, address corruption, and foster national unity has led to missed opportunities. While Singapore’s meritocratic and forward-thinking governance has propelled it into first-world status, Malaysia struggles to overcome its self-inflicted hurdles, which are holding the nation back from fulfilling its potential.
By confronting these issues head-on and learning from Singapore’s success, Malaysia could potentially carve a path toward greater progress and regional competitiveness.

The push for the FT Mufti Law, which elevates fatwas to legally binding status, reflects a preoccupation with religious authority that could sidetrack Malaysia from the real issues it faces. Critics argue that instead of focusing on pressing matters like poverty alleviation, healthcare, and education reform, Malaysia is embroiling itself in unnecessary religious debates that risk polarizing its population. The elevation of religious legalism may stoke division, alienate minorities, and stifle the diversity that Malaysia once celebrated.
Additionally, implementing such laws could weaken Malaysia's standing as a multicultural nation, placing religious enforcement over individual freedoms and human rights. The law seems to cater to a specific demographic without adequately addressing the practical needs of the average Malaysian.

Middle East Crisis: A Distraction from Domestic Issues - yet the poorly educated all happily got distracted and playing to the tune of their puppet-master gomen and its high-paying self-serving little napoleans: Malaysia’s government often voices strong opinions on Middle Eastern conflicts, particularly on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. While solidarity with oppressed groups is commendable, critics argue that Malaysia’s involvement in these international issues tends to divert attention from the country's internal struggles. The plight of nations embroiled in conflict in the Middle East is a far cry from the developmental needs of a country like Malaysia, which is facing stagnation in key economic sectors, rising costs of living, environmental degradation, and political uncertainty.
The focus on the Middle East creates an image of Malaysia trying to punch above its weight, especially considering that its economy is nowhere near the wealth of "first-world cetis" or developed nations. These advanced countries can afford extensive international engagements because of their strong economies and military might. In contrast, Malaysia, a developing nation, risks being seen as attempting to engage in conflicts it cannot meaningfully impact while neglecting the well-being of its own people.

Contrast Between First World Nations and busy-body Malaysia : Countries with robust economies, high living standards, and sophisticated governance structures have the luxury of intervening in global affairs. The U.S., the EU, or even Saudi Arabia may have strategic or economic reasons to involve themselves in Middle Eastern conflicts or support certain regional governments. Malaysia, on the other hand, is still trying to balance the needs of its population against limited resources. By getting overly involved in religious and geopolitical issues, Malaysia risks falling into the trap of "symbolic" foreign policy, where actions are taken for appearances rather than for substantive benefit.
Instead of focusing on these external crises, critics argue that Malaysia should prioritize internal development, improve governance, address corruption, and tackle poverty. The country’s infrastructure, economy, and quality of life should be the focus of government efforts, ensuring the nation is on a path to first-world status, rather than being stuck in "hutan keliling pinggang" (jungle surroundings) underdevelopment.

Global Relevance vs. National Well-Being - In contrast to the Great First-World Nation of LKY's legacy Singapore: While it’s important for Malaysia to remain engaged globally, especially in trade and international diplomacy, its domestic policies should prioritize sustainable growth and human capital development. Dwelling on issues like the FT Mufti Law and the Middle East crisis detracts from more practical, immediate reforms needed to uplift its population. Moreover, getting involved in complex, far-away conflicts without sufficient geopolitical influence or clear national benefit could risk unnecessary entanglements or diplomatic fallout.
Malaysia should instead invest in solving problems such as environmental degradation, education reform, economic diversification, and improving the healthcare system. By focusing on these issues, Malaysia could elevate itself to the ranks of more developed countries and become a model for progressive Islamic governance.

The downside of Malaysia's engagement with the FT Mufti Law and the Middle East crisis is clear: it diverts attention and resources from urgent national priorities. The focus should be on improving the well-being of Malaysians, not trying to assume a role as a religious or political influencer on the global stage. In the end, real national progress comes from addressing domestic challenges, not by dwelling in symbolic international engagements or controversial religious overreach.

Cannot be denied anymore - Moral and Spiritual Decline: Just as alcohol leads to moral decay and loss of religious consciousness, digital addiction can also drive individuals away from spiritual practice. Excessive time spent on entertainment, social media, or mindless scrolling leaves little room for religious reflection, prayer, or engagement with one’s community. This distraction from one’s spiritual duties and the path to self-improvement parallels the moral decline associated with alcohol, making it reasonable to view digital addiction as haram for its spiritual harm.

Similar to how consumers might not recognize the value of academic papers when their immediate needs are unmet, people are less likely to appreciate economic growth when their incomes stagnate and living costs rise. The emphasis on consumer behavior shifts, such as opting for lower-priced alternatives, highlights a broader trend of dissatisfaction that undermines perceived economic progress .

Real-Life Implications: In healthcare, despite substantial public investment in research, the outcomes can be inadequate for improving the health conditions of the population. For example, research findings may not lead to accessible medical solutions for the rakyat, echoing the sentiments of citizens who feel that the data does not reflect their realities. Studies have shown that economic metrics often fail to capture the nuances of individual experiences, leading to a disconnect between reported growth and actual well-being .

Publicly funded research often struggles with prioritization and practical relevance. For instance, funds may be allocated to projects that yield extensive academic output but fail to address immediate societal needs, similar to how large corporations may reap benefits from economic growth while allocating profits primarily to management. As highlighted in discussions about economic inequality, this discrepancy further alienates the public from feeling the benefits of growth .

Just as Professor Kangkung’s research may produce a plethora of papers with little practical application, Malaysia's economic indicators—such as GDP growth and foreign direct investment—do not necessarily reflect improvements in daily life for the average citizen. The emphasis on impressive statistics can obscure the pressing issues of wage stagnation and rising living costs, which directly impact people's purchasing power and quality of life.

yes. The situation surrounding Malaysia's economic growth and its disconnect from the public's lived experience can be likened to the critiques surrounding public-funded research initiatives, such as those led by Professor Kangkung. Despite the production of numerous research papers, these efforts often fail to translate into tangible benefits for the rakyat, particularly in areas like healthcare, economic welfare, and overall quality of life.
