At the core of Malaysia's societal tapestry lies a rich blend of races, religions, and cultures, intricately intertwined by a history marked with colonization, migration, and diverse historical narratives. From the indigenous Orang Asli to the Malay, Chinese, Indian, and numerous other ethnic groups, Malaysia stands as a melting pot of identities, each adding unique hues to the vibrant canvas of the nation. Rather than mere tolerance, it is the celebration of this diversity that truly defines Malaysia's strength, resilience and future.

Too many parties chasing for the same majority votes in Peninsula as it is the road to premiership and control of all the major Govt posts. The question is whether we ALL are ready for a Sarawakian to lead the country ? Dont forget that the state under Taib's times was also stained with so many allegations.

**Secular Governance:** In many modern societies, the principle of separation of religion and state is crucial for ensuring fair and equal treatment of citizens regardless of their religious beliefs. Appointing religiously inclined individuals to governing posts can undermine this principle and lead to favoritism or discrimination based on religious affiliations.

2. **Conflict of Interest:** Religious beliefs often come with specific ideologies and agendas that may not align with the diverse needs and values of a society. This can lead to conflicts of interest where decisions are made to serve religious objectives rather than the overall well-being of the population.

3. **Limited Perspective:** Governance requires a broad understanding of social, economic, and political issues. While religiously inclined individuals may have deep knowledge within their faith, they may lack the diverse perspectives necessary for effective governance that considers the interests of all citizens.

4. **Potential Polarization:** Appointing religiously inclined leaders can polarize society along religious lines. This can lead to increased tensions, divisiveness, and difficulty in building consensus on important policy matters that affect everyone in the community.

5. **Risk of Intolerance:** Religious ideologies can sometimes be intolerant towards minority groups or dissenting views. Having religiously inclined leaders in governing positions may increase the risk of policies that discriminate against certain segments of the population or restrict individual freedoms.

6. **Focus on Dogma over Pragmatism:** Governance often requires pragmatic solutions that may conflict with religious doctrines. Religious leaders in governing roles may prioritize ideological purity over practical solutions, leading to inefficiencies or ineffective policies.

Overall, while individuals' religious beliefs should be respected, appointing religiously inclined people to governing posts can pose significant challenges to effective and inclusive governance in a diverse society.
