The problem is Administrators of Education who do not have a clue about what our education system is all about. The teachers on the other hand are not really interested in teaching. They are just buying their time. Not motivated to teach or deliver at least.
In Malaysia the education system is in a sad state...cos, the govt has involved tge islamic religion in the system. In all govt primary schools there is islamic studies which is compulsory for muslim pupils...whem they already have sekolah Agamas in progress...!! Thats the reason it has put off the nonmuslims from accepting the sekolah kebangsaan..this has caused a segregation of the youth. Religion must be excluded in education and politics...only then a country like Malaysia which is multiracial can progress...😢

Absolutely right sir. These people are the same as the priestly class. Muslims are stagnant because of them. They are holding humans back, I’d say intentionally. Islam is complete according to the Almighty Creator but is our understanding so?
The problem we have is that there are double standards. When politicians say things which are obviously wrong or are lies, they are not penalised but when citizens make even the slightest comment, they will immediately be punished.
Would it be possible to recommend a number of books that you think would be beneficial for people so that they may gain the correct knowledge and understanding of the subjects you have mentioned, or even what you think would be beneficial to read as a muslim so that we may move forward, maybe some books from Al Ghazali or any other scholar.
Semoga ELOHIM menghapuskan orang yang berhati jiwa busuk dalam bangsa china melayu india filipino english dan lain lain lagi.semoga ELOHIM menyerang mereka yang anti China di nusantara dan seluroh dunia.
Betul bila dikatakan hilangnya adab disebabkan oleh rosaknya ilmu, akan tetapi kebanyakan pembicaraan berkenaan pembelajaran ilmu tidak memasukkan tempat dimana sepatutnya ilmu itu diambil dan siapa tempat ambilan ilmu tersebut. Kerana pembalajaran agama oleh para sahabat r'anhum adalah berpusat di masjid (ارض الله) . Hanyalah di masjid tempat lahirnya para rijal yg beradab yang boleh membina tamaddun, bukan di sekolah atau universiti. ِِPembelajaran di masjid mendatangkan nur ke dalam hati2 manusia. Agama atau lebih tepat digunakan kalimah ad deen juga perlu diambil dari عالم الناطق yang membawa kerja-kerja السَّمْعُ وَالطَّاعَةُ والجهاد والهجرة والجماعة. Kaum muslimin perlu berwaspada dengan orang-orang alim munafiq sebagaimana sabda baginda Rasulullah s.a.w إن أخوف ما أخاف عليكم بعدي كل منافق عليم اللسان ya'ni orang-orang yg hanya tahu bercakap tapi jahil dalam qalb dan amalan. Jadi orang-orang Islam perlulah kembali ke masjid utk menjadi muslimun setelah sekian lama kita hidup sebagai islamiyyun, melalui kerja2 ribat dan pembelajaran agama yg bermula dengan طهارة dan belajar mengasihi Allah dan RasulNya, serta ahli keluarga Rasulullah dan para sahabat baginda s.a.w, inilah asas Islam. اللهم صل على سيدنا محمد الفاتح لما أغلق والخاتم لما سبق ناصر الحق بالحق والهادي إلى صراطك المستقيم وعلى آله حق قدره ومقداره العظيم
You are enlightened, sir. I am 72 years old and to know there are people like you in this country gives me hope that there is a future for this beautiful country. Thank you.
I concur with you except on one point. Problems of race, religion and royalty are problems in Malaya, or, more specifically, the Peninsula. We don't have this in Sarawak.
With all due respect, all the characters quoted in this article pale in comparison to our kuttu kutti. None of them could have impacted their societies like the "cari makan kaki " of our Malaysia in the last 40 or 50 years. Let us pray to the heavens that going forward, we can pick ourselves up as a nation and rise from the ashes .
How odd, this programme is apparently 7 months old and what one sees is the subjects discussed here are in even worse condition than they were in the commentary here. So, what was the purpose of this commentary? To have a few ordinary readers with no influence praise the author? What is even more curious is that the gentleman seems well connected in the upper echelons of society but utterly without any influence and this programme has not altered that even a smidgin. As the future of this beautiful land gets bleaker by the day, and as the teachings of religion bear no connection whatsoever to daily life, especially of those in influence, some very basic questions must be asked and answered on what principles are the systems in the country being conducted. There is a deep ethical and moral vacuum so vast and gaping, that all of the nation could easily vanish into it, with no public evidence that anything is being done by anyone to stem the damage and arrest the danger to advancing towards the logical conclusion.
As a muslim living in malaysia, i will continue to pray so that our sultans and kings become competent to rule this land and their citizen.. i know this land is far from perfect but our young generations still can be protected here to learn better about islam..
Geographic reach, Khalifah and Sultans were themselves scholars, and monetary compensation are some of the reasons why we can't draw parallels between the monarch now and the Muslim empires in the past. Scholars are then advising the Sultans to teach them about Justice and Wisdom to make Muslim empire prosperous that would further attract students near and far, contributed positively to the economy and culture of the land.
N why r Arabians fighting each other?? Gud example is Syria.Iraq.Yemen.Other muslim countries like Somalia. Sudan.Iran.Afghanistan.Libya.Pakistan .Nigeria.Mali to name a few r failed states.China is a Great civilisation.They r not muslims but a superpower now!!!
18th CE colonial deadweights unfit for western education…look at china/india…regressive in 21st CE…we can’t risk this country moving backward like their brain/mentality and history…it’s their 18th CE brains are too weak…too much relying on Malay’s economy/politics for CEs 👌🏼 They should go rebuild cheap yuan/rupee and regressive economy…be responsible/independent 👌🏼
