Malaysia’s regional issues, such as managing disputes in the South China Sea, dealing with terrorism in neighboring Indonesia and the Philippines, and enhancing ASEAN cooperation, are more directly tied to its national interest.

Not to the interest of Sarawak- Malaysia, as an independent and sovereign nation, should prioritize its own national interests above all else. While solidarity with the global Muslim ummah (community) is important for many Malaysians, it should not come at the expense of Malaysia’s sovereignty or ability to make independent foreign policy decisions. Getting too entangled in Middle Eastern conflicts—particularly those driven by historical grievances or sectarian rivalries—may compromise Malaysia's ability to chart its own course and prioritize what is best for its citizens.

By emphasizing conflict over cooperation, Malaysia risks alienating potential business partners from outside the Islamic world, undermining its global economic standing.
Malaysia’s economy, though partly reliant on oil and natural gas exports, is highly diversified compared to many Middle Eastern countries. Getting embroiled in Middle Eastern political and military conflicts could jeopardize Malaysia’s economic interests, particularly if such involvement were to damage trade relations with major global powers or disrupt Malaysia’s ties with countries on both sides of the ideological divide.

Education Reform- Rewrite History Textbook for The Children's Welfare and Maturity -Historical Lessons: Avoiding Foreign Entanglements
Historically, nations that have become embroiled in foreign conflicts, especially those based on religious or ideological grounds, often find themselves facing unintended consequences. Malaysia can learn from the experiences of other countries that have suffered economically, politically, or socially due to involvement in foreign conflicts. Instead of getting caught up in the Middle East's “thousand-year-old” wars, Malaysia would do well to focus on neutrality, diplomacy, and conflict resolution, much like its previous successes in leading peace talks (e.g., in southern Thailand and the Philippines).

I am waiting to see one leader who possess wisdom and open minded from UMNO to harmoniously bring its people together to make UMNO stronger and bigger
and even he will bring all Malaysian in all races together to make Malaysia more prosperous and stronger in term of economically stronger, technology more advancement, more socially harmonious etc
And perhaps this person may not be necessarily from UMNO but other political party instead,
And obviously this person is not Akmal, not Lim Guan Ying, not Wei Ka Xiang, Not Muhhidin, Not Awang Hadi etc either, and not to say DrM as this DrM was/is the beginner of the poison of current Malaysian political and socially devided.
Will see who and when this person emerge…

Malaysia has enough domestic and regional issues that require attention, and getting caught up in Middle Eastern conflicts—rooted in centuries-old rivalries and geopolitical struggles—may not be in its best interest.

Sheer Distraction -Unnecessary Diversion from Domestic and Regional Issues: Malaysia's economy, while relatively strong, faces challenges related to income inequality, youth unemployment, and rural poverty.

Malaysia's history and geopolitical reality are vastly different from that of the Middle East. While Malaysia is a Muslim-majority country, it does not share the same history of colonialism, resource-based conflicts (like oil), or deeply rooted sectarian divisions (Sunni vs. Shia) that dominate Middle Eastern politics. The so-called "crusade wars" are rooted in religious, cultural, and territorial disputes specific to that region. Malaysia, having no direct historical stake in these conflicts, should prioritize its unique cultural and political realities instead of entangling itself in issues largely alien to its context.

Malaysia needs to reform its education system to ensure students are equipped with critical thinking skills and the capacity to compete in the global economy, rather than focusing excessively on religious studies tied to foreign conflicts.

Compromising Domestic Stability and Putting Unity at Risk: Malaysia’s domestic landscape is characterized by a delicate balance between its ethnically and religiously diverse populations—Malay Muslims, Chinese Buddhists, Indian Hindus, and others. Focusing too much on Middle Eastern issues, especially ones framed as Muslim versus non-Muslim conflicts, could risk polarizing Malaysian society. Malaysian unity relies on careful inter-religious and inter-ethnic harmony. Injecting external conflicts, which often emphasize religious divisions, may encourage radicalization or deepen internal rifts.
