In the midst of this ongoing crisis, hypocrisy finds itself standing on shaky ground. Hypocrisy, in its truest form, is embodied by those who adhere to archaic texts replete with glaring contradictions and dehumanizing labels, the likes of which include the unjust and divisive practice of labeling individuals as coffee harbi, among other derogatory terms. And innocent school children are unfortunately exposed to these texts.

Such hypocrisy is akin to a stark double standard, where individuals profess to follow a set of beliefs, yet in practice, their actions betray the very principles they claim to uphold. The use of these labels serves to create a rift among people, fostering animosity instead of understanding, and perpetuating the cycle of prejudice and discrimination.

In these times of crisis, we should strive for empathy, unity, and open dialogue, setting aside divisive and harmful labels. It's a reminder that true harmony can only be achieved when we cast aside hypocrisy and embrace the values of compassion, inclusivity, and respect for all, regardless of their beliefs or backgrounds.

Many countries violate this:

Article 1
"All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood."

Locally, this spirit only cultivated to the fullest possible in vernacular schools, but not national or takfit ones

Safe haven from should-be-banned terminology in schools

Using derogatory terms like "kafir" or "caphir" to label non-Muslims, especially among school children, can have several harmful consequences:

1. **Promotion of Intolerance**: It encourages an atmosphere of religious intolerance and discrimination. Such labels can lead to prejudice and hatred against individuals of different faiths, fostering division and hostility.

2. **Bullying and Harassment**: This can lead to bullying and harassment of non-Muslim students. It creates a hostile environment where children are singled out and mistreated based on their religious beliefs.

3. **Psychological Impact**: Being called derogatory names can have a lasting psychological impact on children. It can lead to feelings of isolation, low self-esteem, and even mental health issues.

4. **Eroding Social Cohesion**: Schools should be places where diversity is celebrated, and respect for different backgrounds is fostered. The use of derogatory terms undermines these principles and weakens social cohesion.

5. **Educational Impact**: Such behavior can disrupt the learning environment, as students may be more focused on their safety and well-being than on their studies.

6. **Legal and Ethical Concerns**: In many countries, using derogatory terms to target individuals based on their religion may be considered a hate crime or a violation of anti-discrimination laws.

In essence, using derogatory terms against non-Muslims, or against any religious or cultural group, is harmful and goes against the principles of tolerance, respect, and inclusivity that should be promoted in schools and society at large. It's important for educators, parents, and communities to address and prevent such behavior and teach children about the value of diversity and respect for all.

As a native tribe member in Sarawak, I genuinely (and have not problem to) admire the Chinese and Indian for defending to live as their unique selves any where they go. But I got no respect for those who turn their back & abandon their original roots and living values, and try to be copycat version of some distant past cult of distant nation(s). I have always teach all my children, grand children and great grand children this: "Born original, stay original. Do NOT live & die as copycat"

Advocating for the removal of the word and concept of "haram" in a multiracial society is essential for fostering inclusivity and reducing divisions based on religious beliefs. Instead, embracing the politically correct terminology of "legal vs. illegal" offers a more neutral and universally understandable framework, which promotes harmony and understanding among diverse communities.

1. **Promotion of Inclusivity**: Using terms like "halal vs. haram" inherently prioritizes one religious group's beliefs over others. This exclusivity can alienate members of different faiths or non-religious individuals within a multicultural society. By employing the terms "legal vs. illegal," the focus shifts from religious doctrine to universally applicable laws and regulations, fostering a sense of inclusion for all citizens regardless of their beliefs.

2. **Avoidance of Religious Bias**: The term "haram" carries strong religious connotations associated primarily with Islamic teachings. Its widespread use in public discourse may inadvertently perpetuate religious bias or favoritism, marginalizing individuals who do not adhere to Islamic beliefs. In contrast, using neutral terminology like "legal vs. illegal" ensures fairness and impartiality in addressing societal norms and regulations, free from religious bias.

3. **Clarity and Understanding**: While "halal vs. haram" may hold significance within the Islamic faith, its meaning may not be universally understood or accepted outside of Muslim communities. On the other hand, "legal vs. illegal" provides a clear and easily comprehensible framework for all members of society to understand and abide by laws and regulations governing various aspects of life, including food consumption.

4. **Facilitation of Integration**: Multiracial societies thrive on mutual respect, understanding, and integration among diverse cultural and religious groups. By adopting inclusive terminology such as "legal vs. illegal," we promote a shared sense of citizenship and belonging, facilitating greater social cohesion and harmony among all members of society.

5. **Recognition of Individual Choices**: Using terms like "food for Muslims or non-Muslims only" can inadvertently reinforce stereotypes and divisions based on religious identity. Embracing inclusive language acknowledges and respects individuals' personal choices and dietary preferences without imposing religious labels or restrictions.

In conclusion, advocating for the replacement of "haram" with "legal vs. illegal" in public discourse and embracing inclusive terminology regarding food consumption is crucial for promoting unity, inclusivity, and understanding in a multiracial society. By prioritizing neutrality, clarity, and respect for individual choices, we can build a more cohesive and harmonious community where all citizens feel valued and accepted.

When individuals are irremediably brainwashed and intoxicated by their indoctrination, it means that their beliefs and perspectives have been deeply ingrained in them to the point where they cannot easily be changed or altered. This indoctrination often comes from being exposed to a particular ideology, belief system, or set of doctrines over an extended period, usually in a way that discourages critical thinking or questioning.

As a result, individuals who are heavily indoctrinated tend to view the world through polarized lenses, especially when it comes to outgroups—those who do not share their beliefs or ideologies. They see members of outgroups as fundamentally different and often as adversaries or enemies. This polarization leads to an "us versus them" mentality, where individuals are more likely to demonize, stereotype, or dehumanize those who are not part of their ingroup.

Furthermore, because of their indoctrination, they may be resistant to considering alternative perspectives or engaging in open-minded dialogue with members of outgroups. Instead, they may interpret any information or evidence that contradicts their beliefs as further proof of the righteousness of their indoctrination, leading to a reinforcement of their polarized views.

In summary, individuals who are irremediably brainwashed and intoxicated by their indoctrination tend to view outgroups through polarized lenses, which can result in hostility, prejudice, and an unwillingness to engage with differing viewpoints

Intermittent fasting and dehydration in young children have detrimental long-term health, psychological, metabolic, and epigenetic implications. Here's why: 1. **Nutritional Deficiency**: Young children have high nutritional requirements for growth and development. Fasting can lead to inadequate intake of essential nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and protein, which are crucial for their physical and jeopardize their cognitive development irreversible. 2. **Dehydration**: Fasting from dawn till dusk without consuming water can lead to dehydration, especially in young children who may not be able to communicate their thirst effectively. Chronic dehydration can impact various bodily functions, including kidney health, cognitive function, and overall well-being. 3. **Metabolic Imbalances**: Prolonged fasting can disrupt metabolic processes in growing children. Fluctuations in blood sugar levels due to fasting can lead to metabolic imbalances, potentially increasing the risk of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and other metabolic disorders later in life. Innmany of these countries, the prevalence of diabetes is increasing exponentially as children fast at progressively younger age. 4. **Psychological Impact**: For young children, fasting may lead to feelings of fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. These psychological effects can impact their academic performance, social interactions, and overall mental health both during and after fasting. 5. **Epigenetic Changes**: There is emerging evidence suggesting that nutritional and environmental factors, such as fasting, can influence gene expression through epigenetic mechanisms. Exposing young children to fasting during critical periods of development may lead to lasting epigenetic changes that could predispose them to obesity, diabetes and various cardiometabolic conditions later in life.

MCA is now the old DAP
DAP is now the old MCA
MCA secretary-general Saw Yee Fung is 100X better than UMNO Youth chief Dr Akmal and DAP Rajiv.

AS the Malaysian courts at every level have already ruled that vernacular schools are constitutional, the issue should be laid to rest, said MCA Youth.

As such, its secretary-general Saw Yee Fung said that any individuals seeking to provoke a debate on the matter can be deemed as mounting a challenge against the Federal Constitution and the Federal Court’s judgement.

Citing the recent heated exchange between UMNO Youth chief Dr Akmal Saleh and former Penang deputy chief minister Dr P. Ramasamy over the issue, Saw said Akmal’s remarks calling for the abolition of multi-stream education and demanding the implementation of single-stream education highlights his “narrow-mindedness and ignorance”.

“If Rajiv debates with him, the former can be construed as acknowledging that the subject of vernacular schools is debatable,” she said.

“All these actions would only enable more opportunities for those with slanted and extremist intentions to further sensationalise the issue.”

Saw was referring to Bukit Gasing assemblyperson Rajiv Rishyakaran’s offer on Monday (March 11) for him and Akmal to have a chat about the topic.

“This matter has been on-going for some time now, and so far, the main leaders from DAP have yet to express their stance on Akmal’s call that vernacular schools be abolished,” Saw remarked.

“With Rajiv leaping at the opportunity for an open discussion with Akmal irrespective of the court’s decision, does DAP agree with Rajiv’s moves? The Rocket needs to declare their position as to whether it supports multi-stream or single-stream education.”

Saw said as the courts have ruled that the existence of vernacular schools conforms with the Federal Constitution, as young adult political leaders Akmal and Rajiv should be “imbued with the maturity” to clearly be aware that education is not a topic that can be toyed with or warped into a political drama.

“Instead of spending time creating issues that would affect national unity, with their party positions in their respective State Legislative Assemblies, Akmal and Rajiv ought to pay more attention to the issue of youth unemployment / underemployment,” she opined.

“They could also monitor the government to uncover solutions to problems such as the inability of young adults to sustain their income, the incremental cost of living rather than wasting time debating facts

Mentality of educators: noble verna Vs ignoble natio

Educators' mentality can either embrace universalism, promoting a multiracial, diverse society, or fall into the trap of "katak di bawah tempurung," fostering narrow-mindedness leading to antisemitism, and a monoethnic exclusivity that divides rather than unites.

Unity through integration is superior to unity via assimilation for several reasons.

Firstly, integration acknowledges and respects the diversity of individuals and communities within a nation. It promotes inclusivity by allowing people to maintain their cultural, religious, and linguistic identities while still being part of the larger national fabric. This approach fosters a sense of belonging and acceptance among citizens, reducing feelings of alienation or marginalization that can arise with assimilation.

Secondly, integration encourages mutual understanding and cooperation among different groups. Instead of forcing everyone to conform to a dominant culture, it values the contributions and perspectives of various cultural backgrounds. This diversity of viewpoints can lead to more innovative solutions to societal challenges and promote a richer tapestry of arts, literature, and traditions.

Additionally, integration promotes social harmony and reduces the risk of conflicts that may arise from cultural suppression or forced homogenization. When people feel respected and valued for who they are, they are more likely to participate positively in society and work towards common goals.

Furthermore, integration fosters resilience in the face of external pressures or threats. A nation built on the principles of integration is better equipped to adapt to changing demographics, global trends, and geopolitical shifts without compromising the rights and identities of its diverse population.

In contrast, unity via assimilation can lead to cultural homogeneity, erasing valuable cultural heritage and stifling individual expression. It may also create divisions and resentment among marginalized communities, leading to social unrest and instability.

Therefore, prioritizing unity through integration not only strengthens the social fabric of a nation but also contributes to its long-term sustainability and prosperity.

One goes :It sounds like you stumbled upon an intriguing situation! To lodge a report about the words in your coffee and the taugeh forming Arabian words, you might want to contact the appropriate authorities, such as food safety agencies or local health departments. They can investigate the matter further and determine if any action needs to be taken regarding coffee drinking or marble cake sales. It's essential to provide them with as much information as possible to ensure a thorough investigation.
