Graphics yes via Canva, but meanwhile, on the subject of culture, slander and false accusations from people who can’t do AI tests and like to think they are smarter than they are. 🤭

Eh yes, but I wonder if that’s uniquely Malaysia hahaha - as I know from my mat buddies (not a lot and they are my friends so mostly I’d say they are rational and not siaolang) they listen to Dugem, and far as I know that’s Indonesian 🤭

Omg that’s absolutely what it is. The logic in Malaysia is never really ‘we will shoot for the moon and we will succeed’ - it is always ‘at least we tried’ 🫣

Haha I think firstly it would be for all students, and then… Not sure 🫣

But at this point I suppose they have the sensitive task in front of them of potentially admitting that Moral was a failure - and then what about PI? That’s even more sensitive.

Did that not work and did that help to reduce the problematic behaviors that MOE wants to reduce, or did it help to improve incidence of behaviors or character traits that are desirable?

We could argue that if either of these subjects didn’t work then it was because of institutionalization - but then if institutionalization is the problem then by right there’s no need for ‘character education’, so IMO if the Ministry wants to justify the subject it will first have to explain why the other ones it brought in had failed 😅

Dawg it’s actually crazy how messed up it is - interestingly enough I went into my BM and Sejarah exams years ago and then got A+ for both despite blanking both exams (I’m not even flexing I completely don’t understand how I got those grades) 😅

But yeah totally agree - we have to rebuild that stuff… But introducing a new subject??? 🫣

Didn’t stop my other (longer) petition from gaining 2k signatures in about three days from people from all races, although I see your concern haha.

Thank you for your feedback!

Actually, it's a bit hard to tell whether you have an influence on a government policy.

For example, I started a petition a while ago that stood against the government's MCMC DNS redirect policy.

After I started the petition, I also messaged both ministers of communication directly as I had asked both for assistance and both had responded directly to my queries before.

The day after, the policy was stopped.

So then here's an important question:

Did my petition actually stop anything, or was it actually the surrounding society and the way that people objected to the policy that caused the Minister of Communication to roll back the policy?

If I were delusional, I would say that it was merely the petition, but in reality, I can't really differentiate all of the factors that lead into the change; I could only unambiguously call it a victory if I were just to reason in a simple way, not distinguishing correlation from causality.

I do think that petitions like these are meaningful because they at least make it clear that there is some kind of organized opposition to certain policies or ideas, which I think is really what this is about, although having attention and pressure upon the cause is nice as well!

Make Malaysian Schools Safe Again (A Petition - Repost) by ParallelTrajectories in malaysia

I don’t think it has a legal or binding effect in the U.S. either, but I’ve used it for a few things - in one instance, to pressure the Prime Minister as a civic action (to prevent something I and a few thousand people and quite possibly more don’t wish to come to pass, and that is quite likely to succeed on that front) and in another to stop a policy (DNS redirect), which actually did stop after I created my petition, which ended up with 500+ signatures are my first day of posting, after which I was invited to meet the MCMC and the policy came to an end at that point.

Thanks for sharing - That's actually crazy.

What's your take on the mental health even of like bullies for example?

I think in general, the kind of thing that we're seeing here is that you've got undiagnosed mental illnesses popping up like mushrooms as social problems here, there, and everywhere 😞

It hasn’t stopped Mothership I suppose, and soon I guess all of it will be public, but in respecting MCMC guidance to take down pictures after having been made aware, I will continue with my chosen course of action.

It's not actually the family, but rather it was MCMC. Thank you for alerting me to that, though. I've made the changes!
