The newly created Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM), or Malaysian National Party launched its policy platform on 21^st December. The launch didn’t get too much publicity at the time due to the flood crisis and the platform escaped any deep analysis. 

The policy platform launched by Nor Hizwan, a former political secretary for the plantation industries and commodities minister, Zuraida Kamaruddin titled “The Great Reset 2030” is strikingly similar to the “The Great Reset” initiatives espoused last year at the World Economic Forum (WEF), held at the elite skiing resort village of Davos, Switzerland.

Nor Hizwan espoused that “The Great Reset 2030” should be embraced by ordinary Malaysians. He used the emotive arguments that Malaysia is now far behind its neighbour Singapore because of “systemic” socio-political, economic, technological, and education issues. In addition, Nor Hizwan condemned racial and religious based politics that has divided the nation. 

These arguments many will agree with, where Nor Hizwan specifically targets the Millennial and Zoomer generation, who will be able to vote for the first time during the next general election. 

PBM’s solutions to Malaysia’s problems closely follow some of the WEF Great Reset ideology. Hizwan identified five technological disruptions that are putting Malaysia behind the rest of the world. These include artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, genome sequencing, blockchain, and clean energy. Hizwan’s solution is Malaysia embracing Industry 4.0. 

This is unsuitable for the majority of Malaysia’s 1,151,339 cash-strapped micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs).

Industry 4.0 is the latest buzzword the current government has already allocated RM45 billion over the next five years. Most of the funds so far have gone to large corporations to undertake Readiness Assessment Programs (RAP) on the premise of increasing current worker productivity by 30 percent. The beneficiaries of this scheme have been a small group of connected elite consulting companies. 

Industry 4.0 requires extremely high capital investment, long learning curves, and long payback periods that will take years. Very few of Malaysia’s current MSMEs can afford to do this. 

Many Industry 4.0 systems are not agile as claimed. The vast majority of Malaysian MSMEs still rely on manual labour, utilize rudimentary production methods, and operate on shoestring finance, with spasmodic customer bases. 

Consequently, there are going to be few multiplier effects from the large elite companies that take up Industry 4.0, subsidized by the taxpayers. 

PBM might be better to focus on the 5.6 percent of the population in poverty, that effects one in twenty Malaysians, or 1.7 million people. There is a greater need for the transformation of rural industries and SMEs in the Malay heartlands, and urban areas that aspire to increase their revenues and incomes. 

It appears the new paradigm that PBM advocates is best suited to the elite, rather than the masses. PBM needs to offer a policy that will benefit all of the people across the demographic spectrums of Malaysian society. PBMs policy is just the same as the current Ismail Sabri government. 

In addition to PBM’s plagiarising of the WEF’s ‘Great Reset’ narrative, there are a number of other issues that need to be further investigated. These may put the party’s six pillars of comprising young people’s aspirations, being multiracial, representing women, education, economy, and technology into question.

There are deep suspicions that PBM is a vehicle being readied for the Azmin Ali and Zuraida group, along with the other PKR defectors. They announced the setting up of a new party last June. The 53,000 members from the Penggerak Kommuniti Negara (PKN) that were reported to have pledged allegiance to PBM, was an organization formed by Zuraida, and now led by Nor Hizwan. Even though PKN is an NGO, there have been question over the organization’s close links to the Ismail Sabri government. 

This is consistent with PBM’s own pledge of support to the current government, hardly an independent position supporting the narrative of the party launch on 21^st December. The current Ismail Sabri government has been heavily criticized by NGOs and political commentators over racial bias in both the 12^thMalaysia Plan and budget.

Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) president Anwar Ibrahim quoted as saying that, they were not affected by the emergence of a new party known as Parti Bangsa Malaysia.

He said that all the new party members had previously betrayed PKR and their struggle was only based on position and money.

Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) president Anwar Ibrahim conveniently forgotten that how he led the party to its destruction these days, failing to win a single seat in recent Sarawak and Melaka elections…This clearly shows that the people keep rejecting the Manipulative Party (PKR) and its leaders in recent events leading to lies after lies “I HAVE THE NUMBERS”… “The Muhyiddin Government Jatuh”

Not to mention some legal battles on moral issues over the head of the disgraced Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) president Anwar Ibrahim…

The newly formed Party Bangsa Malaysia said to be in good order and constructively laid down the main ideology of democracy in its party, empowering the youths and women in future politics economics, science and technology, environment and education.

The new party Bangsa Malaysia also said to be linked to the highly reputable political leader Zuraida Kamaruddin in which she is optimistic to any offers..At the same time she also said to be advocating for youth and women participation at all levels…

In her recent endorsements Zuraida Kamaruddin said the young men and women are to be recon with in future political landscape In Malaysia…One of the trends identified are connected with active participation and cultural changes. The trend is that young people are possibly more aware of problems and wanting to participate more actively in society, which has perhaps manifested in their use of social media. Generation Z is more aware about the environment, sustainability, diversity and inclusion and want to participate to make a change. When we work with young people, we will then show our “political” role and empower them in political interests… she clarifies further

The writer admits the facts on youths and women aim were to explore the ‘political’ role in the new party BANGSA Malaysia was a clear direction and not like personal agenda’s on young men and women by the failed Party President PKR…

POLITICAL VENDETTA HAS BECOME STRONGER THEN THE LAW AND THE DEMOCRACY … FEARING OF ZURAIDA KAMARUDDIN MEANS….BLURRING OF THE TRUTH IN DEMOCRACY AND IN POLITICS AND IN THE HANDS OF LAW …CRINGING ON HER SHOWS SHE HAS THE STRENGTH AND GRASSROOTS…

Demagogues have always used fear for intimidation of the subordinates or enemies, and shepherding the tribe by the leaders. Fear is a very strong tool that can blur humans’ logic and change their behaviour….

Like other animals, we humans can learn fear from experience, such as being attacked by a predator. We also learn from observation, such as witnessing a predator attacking another ahuman. And, we learn by instructions, such as being told there is a predator nearby or a blurring object… So the attack on fear is real says the writer..,

This human tendency is meat to the politicians who want to exploit fear: If you grew up only around people who look like you, only listened to one media outlet and heard from the old uncle that those who look or think differently hate you and are dangerous, the inherent fear and hatred toward those unseen people is an understandable (but flawed) result.

The “demagogues” knows the strength and weakness of them, So much so they fearful of any competitors like formation’s of a new political party

The whole episode started with some disgruntled demagogues… Whom knows their political future is at a near end…

The writer acknowledges that the fact in this posting is entirely of his own and own knowledge and pledges that the truth will prevail soon or later…

The incident of bullying that took place at the Mara Junior Science College (MRSM) Sultan Azlan Shah Kuala Kangsar, Perak and spread on social media last Thursday caused cost of concern for many Malaysian and it caught the attention of the Honourable Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin…

The disappointed Zuraida Kamaruddin was seen upset over the recent incidents of bullying in schools now a days said it must be stopped immediately and the authorities must tackle the problems at all levels…

It was reported recently, the police have arrested four students (related to the issue of bullying in schools …

Bullying is a distinctive pattern of repeatedly and deliberately harming and humiliating others, specifically those who are smaller, weaker, younger or in any way more vulnerable than the bully. The deliberate targeting of those of lesser power is what distinguishes bullying from garden-variety aggression she further explained on bullying trends in schools and even in work places…

Bullying can involve verbal attacks (name-calling and making fun of others) as well as physical ones, threats of harm, other forms of intimidation, and deliberate exclusion from activities…

The best defense against bullying is being socially skilled—teaching all children social skills and allowing them to develop confidence in their own abilities. As social engineers for young children, parents are especially important in bully-proofing their children: They can regularly inquire about social challenges their children face and role-play possible solutions. The second-best defense against bullying is to walk away and not fight back…she said

Choosing the right school for your kids is one of the best decisions you can make. Because it is an essential factor that can affect the course of the child’s future… Says the popular Minister for all citizens in Malaysia

Talking about the different types of schools in Malaysia, there are many options to choose from. In this post, you’ll learn the different types of schools in Malaysia and how they operate.

The education platforms, just like the country’s cultural and ethnic landscape, are diverse and numerous. They include:

• Government or public schools
• International schools
• Vernacular schools (where Tamil and Mandarin are the primary medium of instruction)
• Private schools

The vernacular schools were created specifically for specific ethnic and cultural communities in Malaysia — the Chinese and Indians. This schooling system was introduced to promote the languages and cultural values of these communities.

Over the past three decades, the vernacular schools, especially the Chinese schools, have further developed and it is now common to see children from other ethnic communities going to school in such environments.

Vernacular schools use either Mandarin or Tamil as a medium of instruction. However, Bahasa Malaysia and English language are taught as compulsory subjects.

The first HIV/AIDS case in Malaysia made its debut in 1986. Since then, HIV/AIDS has become one of the country’s most serious health and development challenges. As of 2019, the Ministry of Health estimated that there were 87,581 people living with HIV (PLHIV) in Malaysia. However, only 77,903 are aware of their status said the visibly upset visionary leader Zuraida Kamaruddin from Malaysia…

Malaysia is ranked seventh highest in adult prevalence of HIV/AIDS in Asia after Thailand, Papua New Guinea, Burma, Cambodia, Vietnam and Indonesia with a 0.45% prevalence rate. According to the United Nations, Malaysia is one of the ten countries which together accounted for over 95% of all new HIV infections in the region of Asia-Pacific in 2016.

World AIDS Day, designated on 1 December every year since 1988, is an international daydedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infection and mourning those who have died of the disease.

The acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a life-threatening condition caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The HIV virus attacks the immune system of the patient and reduces its resistance to other ‘diseases’. Government and health officials, non-governmental organizations, and individuals around the world observe the day, often with education on AIDS prevention and control.

Mukmin refers to a person who is a true believer and practices the teachings of Islam completely and dedicates himself to Allah swt.

This is what is called “every mukmin and mukminah is a Muslim but not every Muslim is a mukmin and mukminah”. So the word muslim is general while the word mukmin is specific explain Zuraida Kamaruddin in a Islamic Forum & Women Leadership 2021 organised by Council of Malaysian Women Political Leaders (COMWEL) in which Zuraida Kamaruddin is the founder and it’s president, who is also the Minister of Plantation Industries and Commodities (MPIC) In Malaysia .

Mukmin and muslim are titles for men while the words mukminah and muslimah are for women and it is a complement for a progressive Nation…

Muslimah: A true Muslim woman practices all the demands of the religion as outlined by the Quran and Sunnah. Not only the word syahadah as proof of Islam but also making Islam a way of life explain Zuraida Kamaruddin…

A true Muslim woman is not measured by the beauty and beauty of the face alone but a true Muslim woman is seen from the beauty and sincerity of her hidden heart. A true Muslimah is not seen from how much good she gives but how sincere she is said Zuraida Kamaruddin..

A true Muslimah is also not seen from how many and great trials she goes through but seen from the extent to which she faces the test with a full sense of contentment and servitude to her God. He is always grateful for all the favors given. If this heart is still difficult to be satisfied, we have to educate the heart to be a heart that is always satisfied with all the provisions. Allah is the Most Just said the conscientious women advocate Zuraida Kamaruddin…
