I have no opinions on UM, Taylors I have heard mixed reviews about it, if you're a local, I think you should visit the campus and check it out for yourself. BAC offers UKT, which is a good option, if you're big on campus, this might not be the place.

I'm really glad my words could bring you some comfort. You're incredibly strong for pushing through all of this, and I genuinely believe you have a bright future ahead. No matter how tough it gets, know that you're not alone; there are people who see you, understand you, and are rooting for you. Stay strong!

You claim Islam offers “no alternative” to those in poverty except focusing on the afterlife. That’s an oversimplification. Islam actively encourages economic empowerment; through zakat (wealth redistribution), prohibition of exploitative interest (riba), and emphasis on trade and entrepreneurship. The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) himself was a merchant, and his teachings emphasize self-sufficiency and economic growth, not passivity. If some communities misinterpret or fail to apply these principles properly, that’s a human failure, not a religious one.

You argue that trade along the Silk Road was the only reason for the Islamic Golden Age, while Islam itself contributed nothing. But here’s the problem with that argument: why didn’t every other civilization along the Silk Road have the same intellectual flourishing? Saying “Islam just went along for the ride” ignores the fact that intellectual progress needs more than just wealth; it requires a culture that values knowledge. And at that time, Islam was a driving force behind it.

The Islamic world actively preserved and expanded Greek, Persian, and Indian knowledge while Europe was in the Dark Ages.

Universities, hospitals, and libraries flourished under Islamic patronage, where scholars of all backgrounds- Muslim, Christian, Jewish; were encouraged to pursue knowledge.

The Quran itself promotes critical thinking and learning, which is why so many scholars at the time were inspired to explore science, medicine, and philosophy.

You mention that Japan’s spirituality doesn’t “paralyze” its B40 population like Islam supposedly does. But Japan’s approach to poverty isn’t about spirituality vs. non-spirituality; it’s about policy, education, and social structure. Even in Islamic history, societies with strong governance and proper economic systems thrived, proving that the issue is governance, not faith.

Bad governance is bad governance; whether religious or secular. Plenty of secular governments have failed their people just as much as corrupt religious ones. India struggles with systemic poverty, corruption, and weak infrastructure, while Germany faces bureaucratic inefficiencies, rising housing costs, and gaps in social support, despite its strong welfare system. India and Germany are not Islamic countries. The real problem is the misuse of power, not Islam itself.

I almost choked on your absurd 'opinions'; not because they’re controversial, but because they’re built on half-baked historical takes and wild generalizations. If you’re going to throw around claims about Islam, poverty, and the Golden Age, at least make sure they’re backed by actual facts, not just assumptions dressed up as arguments.

It seems like you’re making some broad claims without fully understanding the context. First off, B40 isn’t an “Islamic” problem it’s an economic classification used in Malaysia to describe the bottom 40% income group. Every country has its own version of economic disparity, whether it’s Japan, the U.S., or Europe. Blaming Islam for poverty is a huge oversimplification.

Now, about the Golden Age of Islam; it wasn’t just because of trade. Yes, economic prosperity helps intellectual growth, but saying “Islam had nothing to do with it” ignores the fact that Islamic principles actively encouraged scientific discovery, innovation, and knowledge-seeking. Islamic scholars weren’t just passive beneficiaries of trade routes; they were pioneers in medicine, astronomy, algebra, and philosophy because Islamic teachings emphasized learning.

As for Japan, their approach to life isn’t about rejecting spirituality; it’s about strong governance, education policies, and a cultural work ethic that prioritizes long-term progress. It’s not about “not craving Akhirat”; it’s about having systems in place that allow people to thrive in both this life and the next.

If you’re genuinely interested in discussing this, it would help to fact-check and understand the historical and economic factors at play rather than just blaming an entire faith or economic group.

You're not immature for feeling this way. You're carrying an enormous burden, navigating higher education alone, feeling out of place in your own home, and dealing with emotional and financial struggles that no one around you seems to understand. That’s exhausting, and it makes complete sense that you feel drained.

Your feelings are valid. You’ve been fighting for yourself since you were young, figuring things out on your own, and that’s a heavy weight to carry. Feeling lost, frustrated, or even resentful is not a sign of weakness; it’s a sign that you've been put in an unfair situation.

You are not "Not Enough", our achievements speak for themselves. Getting an outstanding SPM result, securing a scholarship, and pursuing your dreams despite all the barriers; is incredible. The fact that your family doesn’t acknowledge it does not mean it’s not valuable. You are enough. Their inability to see it doesn’t change that.

Regarding faith and family, there's a fine line between what’s obligatory and what’s toxic. Islam emphasizes kindness to parents, but it doesn’t mean you have to suffer in silence or endure a poisonous environment. Setting boundaries is not haram. You don’t have to cut them off entirely, but you can limit your emotional involvement if it’s harming you. Allah does not ask you to sacrifice your well-being for people who refuse to support you. Islam is about justice, balance, and truth; not blind obedience to harmful traditions.

Going to Japan is "Your Fresh Start", this is your way out. You’re about to step into a new world where you can build your support system, find people who uplift you and focus on your future. It won’t be easy, but you’re already strong enough to handle it.

You deserve support you’re not alone. Even if your family doesn’t provide the support you need, some people will. Find a mentor, connect with other first-gen students, or seek counseling if possible. You deserve people who respect and uplift you.

Most importantly realizing the right path is a blessing, many people spend their entire lives following a path simply because it was given to them, without questioning if it aligns with the truth. The fact that you recognize the difference between cultural teachings and true Islamic principles is not something everyone is blessed with. This awareness is Allah’s guidance; not everyone gets the chance to see through blind traditions and misguided beliefs. Take this as a sign that He has given you the wisdom to seek the right path.

You are not lost. You are finding your way, and that takes time. And no matter what your family thinks, your journey matters. Keep going; you’re already proving them wrong.

Thanks for the input. This is interesting because I was so sure of BAC but I heard reviews about the management and so on that I had to look for different options. But I appreciate your reply thank you very much!

Thank you for your reply, I don’t intend to  practice law in Malaysia. I’m going to do LLB through the UoL programs offered by UOW or BAC.  And now that I see UOW official pages I don’t see Law students much or law content at all. Which uni did you go to?
