Money is addictive. Power is addictive. Both together is very hard to let go.

How is it that a man of wisdom was never elected to run the country. He would have made our country an Asian tiger. Only the corrupt can and will rule.

[@halinadenys9102]

You are absolutely right, sir❣

[@ItoSorich]

Speaking in Malay will help more Malaysians understand the situation.

[@mohdyussofawang3451]

Most people today look at wealth, monies and maybe title ruther than ethic ,good manner and etc. When combine inteclual that had strong iman and wealth and intelactual on right thought , InshaAllah we will have a nice view of Malaysia. These leaders should have wealth in order to help them before leading the helm

[@keefuilow8992]

I share your concerns for the country . Today, as in the reality talent shows, it is not necessarily the best singer but the most popular singer that wins. It is not the best author, but the best selling authors whose books show up on the best selling section of the book store . Politicians aim to be the most popular because it is winning the seats that counts. That’s sad, because we the people allowed that .

[@suteralama]

Alhamdulillah. Perfect Observation. Your wisdom is what the country need....thank you sir.

[@ireneliong1084]

Thank you for sharing your thought which is so lacking in today’s Malaysia atmosphere. To me, democracy is only an illusion that the ordinary people believe that we have the powder to change. Due to the electoral system, politicians are concern on popularity gearing towards being flavoured by party leadership, political appointment and re-elected to position, instead of doing the right things for the advancement of the country and the people. The ordinary citizen are merely pawns in the democratic system.

[@bk3289]

Well said. The present batch of old time politicians please retire, Dr M, AI etc. Please go away.

[@mikuangik6719]

Appreciate your words of wisdom hope the EDUCATION system be the changing for TRUTH facts Reality keys to advance 🗝️

[@deafrhino2321]

i don't watch reality tv anymore, i can get all the entertainments that i need from watching our parliament circus in session.

[@fariqibnuzainabibnunaemahh89]

Sir, with respect!

[@wanroy88]

Well said Prof!!

[@mmukhtar3192]

I agreed with your thought n you mention skill which must be develop n probably need to implement a new political party act n set politcal structure,competency etc. Tq

[@m.c.b.p.777]

If politicians in Malaysia have your insights, Malaysia would be a beautiful country. Hope Malaysia will be save someday. God bless...

[@WhiskeyFatimah]

If you don't o anything but to merely hope, you can be sure you are phucked.

[@faiznuaim4180]

Long have I noticed this, I used to be labelled as problematic students as I questions a lot, I've been made to understand that school@teacher is where we ask and learned.. But later I understand one thing... Don't ask just follow, keep good relationships with everyone and u'll be alright... Somehow questioning something in the hope of getting further understanding is wrong... Hence for me listening to scholars like u ur self n those in harvard ect, who r knowledgeable...

[@harry1975ist]

Yes Correct...if you know more ..means ur in a very big trouble..thats is in our Malaysian education system and its system( The Country) ..

[@shahghazni8508]

The problem is are we to believe that the current leadership will educate or just propagate their values and morality to the next generation that will further put the future into dire straits! Good help us if we need to rise to the occasion , start by being honest 🤔

What are you trying to point out here ?

[@RBathmaraj]

Sir, please do a video using Bahasa Malaysia..so that your good points can reach the common Malay men. They are the biggest voting bank that needs education..and they will only listen from fellow Muslim Malaysian...

[@hpsh1143]

With Bahasa Malaysia subtitles will do.😊

[@tyrionstark380]

Betul, saya sebagai melayu sangat2 berharap tuan Syed ni boleh berbahasa melayu or at least lest subtitles. Melayu2 sekarang ni dah ramai yang sakit otak kerana hasutan orang2 politik

[@zayuahabdulsamat52]

Agreed. Do the same like mariam mokhtar. Whenever she uploads content in english, there’ll be subtitles in BM and vice versa.

[@keefuilow8992]

One of the challenges I thought is the two seemingly different value systems that caused the Rakyat to live in a parallel universe and split politically. I hope you can share your view if secularism and the practise of Islam can live side by side in running the country, i mean specifically, to rule a nation?

The majority of people must make the right choice during electing their representatives. Think objectively, act bravely.

Surah Al-Maeda, Verse 8: يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُونُوا قَوَّامِينَ لِلَّهِ شُهَدَاءَ بِالْقِسْطِ وَلَا يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شَنَآنُ قَوْمٍ عَلَىٰ أَلَّا تَعْدِلُوا اعْدِلُوا هُوَ أَقْرَبُ لِلتَّقْوَىٰ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ O you who believe! Be upright for Allah, bearers of witness with justice, and let not hatred of a people incite you not to act equitably; act equitably, that is nearer to piety, and he careful of (your duty to) Allah; surely Allah is Aware of what you do. (English - Shakir) via iQuran

[@GregoreLopez]

Dear Prof, the government has invested billions of ringgit into implementing Islamic values into Malaysians and Malaysian institutions. Why have not seen better governance outcomes, considering the investment into Islamic values in Malaysia? I would appreciate your views on this, Prof. Thank you.

[@suziewan115]

they no care lah

[@kckong3]

One of the biggest problems we have is the rakyat's pre-occupation with titles. As long as one has a string, he's good. Oh yeah, not to mention their fascination for impressive speakers... who cares if he rambles on repeating the same points LOL. It's ironic that this speech is delivered in English... can the minority affect change? Preaching to the choir?

[@ksilamvadhi]

When the majority if voters really believe that voting for a corrupt Muslim is better than voting for one of another religion, regardless of how trustworthy he is, then, I'm sorry to say, there's little chance of healing to take place.

[@kazumakiryuu2668]

Nothing is healed. Malaysia will continued to be deceived until the end of the world. Unless Imam Mahdi Appear

[@rajamudadigunungserimahama45]

Yikes,..who dafaq are u again?

[@digijoe750]

Ethics, Justice and Morality in our (broken) education system? Are you being serious? Are you aware of the debacle that ensued from trying to switch the meta-language for STEM studies? Do you expect that the responsible people in government to attempt to institute Ethics, Justice and Morality, arguably 3 of the most complicated subjects (even more than Physics IMHO), into the Malaysian education system? Whatever you are smoking, please send be a batch. JK I don't smoke.
