The Issues of Race, Religion, and Royalty in Malaysia - Syed Ali Tawfik Al-Attas [1 July 2023]

They will never admit their mistake. Politician is the worst kind especially from both side.

[@noordinbeldenlex1620]

In Malaysia, politicians frequently try to tackle a variety of issues in which they lack competence because they think they could be helpful. They then offer aid based on what will support their political position rather than dealing with the problems that arise. They avoid getting help from people who are more knowledgeable than they are because they think they are better at defending their own political agenda than dealing with the underlying issues.

[@adamiskandar5107]

We need more people like him in politics. If they choose not to join politics, we actually need them and well respected Malaysians/Academicians to work cohesively and 'guide' Malaysians to the 'right path'. They should initiate public debates on important issues like the issues he talked about here. I am sure they can convince the current government if they do the necessary preparatory work and showed sincerity in wanting to help out the government. We wish they are more influential in educating Malaysians on important issues. What happened to the group of 70 Malay professors?

[@leewn2319]

What Mr Syed has pointed out is correct. Politics and politicians should stay clear from the 3 Rs and not try to manipulate the 3Rs to their own selfish agenda & advantage. Once this happens the country and the people suffers.

[@alexgomel5805]

Oh, I know everything...I don't have to answer anybody.....

[@rosidahariff2365]

3R is too deeply ingrained since independence. As much as some politicians want to stay clear of 3R in this day of social media it is very challenging to remain neutral.

[@jakemir558]

Yes Sir you are the Man. Many so called religious man talks with nafs to please their mindset and their followers. They condone to the Syariah but yet they commit "Syirik". Shirk is the highest form of Sin. Islam teaches that God does not share his divine attributes with anyone or any forms. Associating other forms or believe in their heart is disallowed according to the principles of Tawhid.

[@karangeorgeoommen4506]

I don’t know if I agree or disagree with what you’ve said, but regardless, it was said very respectfully and in a calm manner. Not a hint of arrogance. A good example to all of us. Well done!

[@samselvamgrolier]

Wonderful Sir. Another great message to the politicians in the country. It is very saddening what they have done to our beloved nation in the last few decades. Unfortunately, the governments before did not take advantage of your field of expertise to benefit the country. Thank You, Datuk

[@andrewlim5879]

Your talk is truthful and straight forward.Thank you. We have been plagued by the 3Rs issue for ages. Something is very wrong and needs to be corrected for the sake of the country's peace, harmony and progress.

[@tenangfokus6832]

Humans have talked too much about race, religion and Royalty until there are fights, chaos and murder. Look at what is happening in the other country. When they talk about race and religion, they exaggerate. War happens because people are excessive in issues of race and religion. In the matter of excessive religion, it creates elements of takfiri and ghuluw and that is what causes Islamophobia in this world. Islam especially teaches simplicity and simplicity is what human need and simplicity is what we want to practice in this country That does not mean that race and religion are ignored . People of multiple races and religions should not be excessively dragged into issues of race, religion or royalty because that interferes with the progress and prosperity of the country.

[@mimikolomamu]

Yet this so-called wise guy never ever touch on this matter one bit. All he did was lecturing the ministers how they should do their job and why should he stop people from talking about 3R. He totally missed the point of Fahmi. Then he moan how they rejected his offer to help. After a minute into his lecture i notice this is not an unbiased scolding. Then someone recommend Kucing Tanah and then i watched it....

[@DevathasanAPNair]

[@adamiskandar5107]

However correct he is, he is not providing the solution. It's a political problem, so it needs a political solution. He can only help if he is involved politically, not speaking as an academician which never solved any problem (in our Malaysian context). If academicians had done their part to prevent the problem from taking such deep roots, I imagine they would be well respected and Malaysia would have done much better.
