unlikely unless meritocracy is adopted. without meritocracy all the smart brains will migrate to US, UK, Australia, Singapore, China, Taiwan leaving malaysia without talent to be the "Silicon Valley of the East"

Wil - very soon. You see - none of its tourist-focused eateries will pass the requirements for Halal certification (unless use bribery). This will lead to exodus of the conservatives from the island, leaving behind the progressive ones. This polarisation is inevitable and will prosper certain geographical areas (while others will have to live on the era before tech for clean water etc cetera)

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

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

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
