Can Malaysia Avoid The Mixing Of Religion And Politics? | Insight | Full Episode

- When the Islamic Party (PAS) emerged as the biggest victor in Malaysia’s GE15, some called this a “Green Wave” - the rise of religious populism.
For many Malays, religion is now the most important identity marker. More people are sending their children to religious schools than before, and these schools blossomed to cater to the demand. Political parties have seized on this, appealing to faith in a bid for votes. But recently, the Sultan of Malaysia reminded Malaysians to keep politics out of places of worship.
How did religion grow in strength in Malaysia? Does religious populism mean a turn towards right-wing politics? And how will this affect Malaysia’s balance of power?

Politics and religion shouldn’t mix . Just because you are religious and holy doesn’t mean it will automatically makes you a leader . Don’t let the leader use the religion to leverage his position . We need a leader that can make positive and impactful decisions for the country future
@Cat Brown, u obviously dont understand 1slam, u need to read how 1slam started & how it spread. Why they still want a caliphate (like Iran, afghanistan, 1sis, tahliban,etc).
Why politics should not be mixed with religions? Every action of human beings is accountable in the day of judgement. Including who you vote for. This implies that people must carefully and wisely choose their leaders. If politics are not mixed with religions, people can simply overthrown the government like how Chinese dynasties end. People literally can run amok.
Just because muslims have more concern on the day of judgement, and tend to be more religious, dont simply ask people to dissociate the religion from politics.
Also, many revolution against colonialism was based on religion movements. Unlike certain group of people in this country, muslims were never be one of the British subjects.
@@bantaipopulist2294 What the guy said was people need to pick leaders based on their leadership skills, not how religious they are. Likewise, no politicians should use Islam gain support.
No one picked Anwar because he was extra religious. His constituents picked him because they thought he was the best choice.
@line fire
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻...
@@linefire9870 if the person is not religious that means he lacks of leadership. We need to first define what does it mean by being religious. If you assume being religious is based on appearance, then you need to study Islam.
If any politicians do not use Islam to attract malay voters, then they are slow politicians. Everyone is using Islam to attract malay voters, including non muslim politicians. Out of sudden they know how to quote quranic verses and hadith though they don’t subscribe to Islam.
Will you also accept this/these: no one picked Hadi/zahid/muhyiddin/azalina because he/she was extra religious. His/her constituents picked him/her because they thought he/she was the best choice. (Same statement but just change the name).
I personally think Anwar is religious and even more religious than Hadi. I choose Anwar because he extras religious than Hadi.
☝️Will you accept this too?
*dont let bias blind you*
I think the biggest problem in Malaysia is the idea and perception of what it means to defend Islam. The trend has been getting more obvious that you'll only be perceived as defending Islam by rejecting what's non-Islamic in other cultures. Accepting and tolerating multiculturalism becomes an entry point for extremists to accuse one as failing his responsibility as a Muslim. Youths are easy targets for they are idealist in mind and heart. Religion will obviously be important to them, as it should to all others. But the youths have not lived long enough yet to understand religion is pure but politics isn't.
And racial politics
In malaysia muslim accept the multicultural and tolerate to non muslim belief but non muslim cannot accept the multicultural and tolerate muslim belief that is the biggest problem malaysian still face until now
@@mafiq79 true..i had a muslim friend who was convert from christianity or other name was revert muslim..almost all of her non muslim friend were kept away from her..they don't want to be friend anymore..i just don't get it?? non muslim people always said "accept them", "being tolerate" to the muslim..but when it comes to us muslim.."it's difference", "cannot be accepted"..why??
@@mafiq79 yes you right..
@@mafiq79 How is that true? The minorities in Malaysia aren't Muslim, they haven't gained any significant political power, and they have not formed terrorist groups or contribute more to crime than the average Malaysian. How have they been not tolerating the Muslim majority for this long?
This is one of so many things thay I don't understand in Malaysia. They kept mixing the religion with politics. Religion is a faith, people should have freedom about it, the fact you can't convert in Malaysia I think it's against the human rights.
When in rome do as the romans they said. If u find islam as a burden then migrate somewhere else.
@@muhammada2445 if non islamic countries say the same to muslims then would you still say the same???
@@muhammada2445 We Indonesian are Muslim majority, but we respect those who wants to convert to another religion. You gonna be surprised to see a Indonesian grandma who is a Muslim, taking her Christian grandson to a church and a twin sisters one of them is a devout Muslim while the other one converted into Catholicism and became a nun.
If u still.not understand that. Learn Islamic techings. What Islam taught abt. U'll find at leat balance of understanding. The problems is many people don't read.
@@muhammada2445 this is why Malaysia will never become a developed country. Vote whoever say they're the most religious and f all other policies.
Keep religion and race out of politics. Minorities deserve rights too.
Islam give rights to minorities
The minorities that live in Malaysia, when they live in their countries ( india china )they oppress minorities (Muslims )

Good Job. Alhamdullilah we want more malay ex muslim like you, we Javanese shall lead you the way out to freedom away from islamic doctrines and barbarics.
Welcome to "infidel" club bro.
There is no issue to have more Islamic awareness and being conservative among the Muslims to preserve the beauty of the religion. However, in a modern society and world, we must also understand the beauty of diversity and inclusiveness, this while Muslims are preserving the religion they should have an open mind to accept the existence of others living together with them and allow others to practice their own culture without being felt threatened.
Since when muslims threaten you? More like you keep bringing up issues to cover your insecurities. As an outsider who frequently travel to Malaysia, I dont see Muslims going around bashing you guys or discriminate you to do business. And i also see you guys even badmouth about the king during the time the parliament was hung, but when he chooses Anwar you guys rejoice and praise him. Thats hypocrite ! I am not a Malaysian nor any countries from ASEAN. but i do aware.
@@tokitoyotokitoyo “buy muslim first” by the local muslim owned businesses is not Islamic propaganda? Just face it, you political enthusiasts are just exploiting religion. Period.
@@Armz69 "Buy Muslim First" was a campaign by Muslims for the Muslims. there is no compulsion in our religion.

Thank you CNA for shedding the light of truth about Malaysia. To even speak about this in the country itself is impossible. I hope we spread the awareness to improve the situation facing this country.
Just move out, simple as.
@@muhammadazim8823we can’t deny there are some form of racism in every race. Instead of strengthening them, why don’t we try influencing them to adopt multiculturalism and accept that every race is not perfect and instead of fighting with one another, let’s just embrace our differences. I hope Malaysia will move to the better and stop rhetorics like ‘Malays are fanatics’, ‘Chinese and Indians are pendatang’, etc.

@@khabibgt6688 the long and lengthy essay seemed to make sense at first. Until i read the 3rd point stating 'evidence proved that DAP is communist' was a laughable accusation.

@@khabibgt6688 bunch of nonsense. No wonder you lots have been brainwash for so many decades. Look at country like Singapore. The reason they are many times progressive and successful compare to Malaysia is because they don’t adopt extremist mindset like you lots.

This is why Malaysia's so behind compared to Singapore. And will continue to be in the foreseeable future.

Why can't people keep their religion or fate to themselves and the God they worship. Why must they push it to others who do not share the same believe with them,people must learn to live and let live cos in the end is you against the God you believe in.
🤔 leave judgement to God…!
Have you thought about this question? Why can't people keep secularism and atheism to themselves?
As long as you're living in a community and not isolated alone in an unhabitable island, sorry can't do that. Islam is THE WAY OF LIFE, including politic, social and economic, education, everything.
@@apuspeak8764yeah…that’s why we have so much problems in this world
@Andrian SGT problems are from hedonists and materialistic demographics that trying to force their ideals on Malaysia.
Even before starting the video. Let me tell you.. the answer is a astounding "No". Something about their culture that need to use "religion" for every excuse and crimes the politician commit is baffling. The irony is for a country so called "religious", there's alot of corruption. And is as if, no matter how many crimes, it can be easily forgiven with no consequences. Not sure about the younger gen but its really hypocrite saying you're religious and being so corrupted. And let me tell you... The citizens are either just purposely supporting it because they think they are benefiting from it. When in reality, only the politician gains from it. The country suffers. Never mix religion and politics. Malays need to see beyond their schemes.
That why sultan interfere if it get too radical...
@@shomin9761 the only thing good with a sultan is that the police force and army is under them. Especially when the prime minister wants to take over the country using military force which actually happened... Other than that, we don't really really need a sultan for every state right? Once again, why are we feeding tax money to these people? Never know why Malays don't just wake up from this religion obsession and know that they already broke all the rules of being "religious" since when being greedy is ok and commiting crimes is ok?
Well said. Our Sultan is great. Cant say the same about the racist political leader.
Well clearly you don't even understand how the demographics of Malays work then. They've always been the people with religious tendency, even before they're Hindu, Buddhist and finally Muslim. It's IN THEIR BLOOD. You think it's bad for you but to them it's the best for them. No one universal mould of governance fits all. Embedded and stick that up yours deeply.
The problem is Malaysian muslim political party exploit islam for their own personal and political gains. There is a far right extremist islamic party in Malaysia called PAS who came out to say corruption should be treated as donation when it comes to their people being caught. Then go on to champion more rights for malay race when Islam clearly forbids corruption or championing rights based on race. Ironically its is also their politicians who are routinely found guilty of slander in court, something which Islam clearly prohibits
As a Malaysian, I couldn't stress enough the future of Malaysia with the current trend. Nobody deserves themselves to be called invaders by someone else for no reason. It is time for me to give a goodbye and move to better city. No more race and religion game. I am sick of it......

Unfortunately, politician will keep using such topic to gain support in future......
They are all STUCK in a rut. The people use religion to get freebies through the NEP, the politicians use religion to garner votes and against others, the religious fundamentalists use it to build their base for political mileage, the royalty use religion to keep their authority. The ONLY way these people can escape is if they rise up within themselves to tear down the Constitution. Unfortunately, even then, yes even then they may just break up into smaller states that further expands in islamic radicalism. Just like India breaking up to form Pakistan and then Pakistan breaking up to form Bangladesh. It keeps 'disintegrating' until it breaks out in some civil war and then you will have refugees on boats seeking 'greener' pastures again in non-muslim countries to form new islamic communities in these otherwise totally secular and free countries. Thats what happened in London. And its too late for them to turn back now.
Sad for Malaysia's future. Developed countries do not mix religion with politics.

Those madrasas are going to mess up the brain of those kids in the way they see and relate with the world, i pity them.
Madrasah is Arabic word for schools in English or sekolah in bahasa. In this picture that is Islamic school teaching combo of Islamic educations and academic curriculums. People if they haven't been taught Islam they will loss values in life and endup leaving Islam and just live for the sake of world-money living. No religion. Things beyond that short thinking.
What about the Liberal indoctrination?
They are not registered. Dangerous. Like Pakistan.
Have you even been to one?
What about the mandarin school
Good documentary. Agree that conservatism does not equal extremism but when mixed with the notion of Ketuanan Melayu or " Malay Overlordship" or "Malay Supremacy", it adds a different dimension, whereby it it's OK to suppress the rights of minorities evidenced in trying to control dress codes, lifestyle choices of others. The typical response is Islam is supreme and such acts by other offends the "sensitivities" of Muslims therefore minorities cannot partake in anything that contravenes that notion eventhough Muslims are not involved in them or can avoid them. Khairy is another politician, he did not voice up when minorities' rights are trampled in fear of losing his base too
spot on

Before 1963 Ketuanan Melayu concept maybe true but after 1963 after Sarawak and Sabah joining in those still insist of this concept are the one who still cannot accept the two states to join Malaysia.

Natasha was fully covered in hijab when I met her between 2013 and 2014. While I do not judge her for wearing the hijab, as a fellow Muslim, I am pleased to see that she has abandoned the concept of being fully covered.
Lol you're a joke.
Some countries have made autonomous zones without secular rule. Honestly, a moderate attitude in both religion and politics is probably best instead.
Explain how to be moderate in both? Does this mean to catch all Chinese people who lit fireworks illegally during Chinese New Year?
Also does it mean to prohibit certain people from burning the dead body like what British did to the Hindus?
@@bantaipopulist2294you're clearly rasict, . You should look at your own race as well. Saying like your race never play fireworks during Hari Raya is somehow ridiculous
Malaysia has been suffering a brain drain for decades. If PAS takes control of the country, watch as a whole lot more talented non-Muslims leave the country for better prospects elsewhere. Any country in the world that has its politics dominated by a single religion is always doomed
Let them leave then. Most of them actually do already leave anyway.

The cheek of some people who hide behind religion to promote their bigoted beliefs. Many of these people are themselves corrupted and live sinful lives behind closed doors. A stay behind "closed doors" will teach them a good lesson.
Sadly… its true.
yup its true! reminds me of cases of how “celebrity preachers” always get caught with scandals with damning evidence. i always find that the actual religious people are always the ones who are very mindful and empathetic in the way they talk, behave and carry themselves.

Caprice spoke with strong argument/conviction, but I somehow can never take him seriously.
He was a joke
Mr “caprice” yes maybe other religion can’t accept it but as a Buddhist, we don’t hate LGBTQIA’s community. Since Buddhism accepts the fact that men and women are equal in achieving freeing or nirvana. Buddhists believe that human life is a cycle of suffering and rebirth, but that if one achieves a state of enlightenment (nirvana), it is possible to escape this cycle forever.
I respect all other religion and I hope this answer your question mr caprice. 😊😊
Malaysia is ingrained n interlocked with Bumiputra and therefore Politically Islamist will play the religion card.
It's natural response. Even in China, people will prefer the communist ideology over foreign degeneracy liberal ideology. Simple as that. Isn't hard to understand. But the one thing that I'll never understand is the people that are complaining about that natural response. No one is forcing and holding them back. What? That's your grandma's land? Grandma was born back in China and she didn't even wanted to go back despite having the opportunity during her 40s-70s. Even there's subsidized boat for them to go back but, they didn't because Malays are kind and nice people that didn't turn them back like Vietnam. But in the end, Malays that are humble and often prefers to live simple life are seen as evil authoritarian just because their only way of life which is their religion are being threatened by globalization that brings nothing but bad news. Now rethink again and try to understand them. Simple as.

I believe that all Malaysians accept Bumi in principle. It is the implementation that is poorly executed ~ remember a Bumi flying 1st class airline. There is “gross misconduct” of civil services for approvals n enforcements ~ such has deep inroads within Bumi allocations based employment.
Funny how Mahathir is to blame for islamisation in Malaysia, but his family is literally the opposite - 100% urban and cosmo.
Same as Royal family of Brunei and Saudi Arabia.
The word 'blame' totally not suitable word to use, he responsible to do it because he was a prime minister, he have to because malay is the majority bumis, u need to understand that
As a non-muslim, I like the idea of having religious schools to strengthen their knowledge in religion. However I think the attempt to use religion as a weapon to gain power, not only that but also twisting the context of the religion to, in some ways, merge the perception of their political party and religion itself, that is not cool at all. It becomes worse when these retarded politicians attempt to abuse their political power by using religion to control people who do not belong to their religion. It is shameful, I would say. Political party is just a political party, politicians are politicians, they cannot represent religion. Not at all.
As my Muslim friends would say, "Malaysia is a country full of Muslims, but very little of its administration and governance is Islamic because it's so corrupt, dirty, full of hypocrisy while Japan is a non-Muslim country but very Islamic in terms of cleanliness and honour, respect, responsibility." It is also very sad, and I note from the survey shown here in this video that only 6% Malaysians identify as Malays first. They have lost the identity the very God they believe in, has given them. And this is problem that is unique to Malaysian Malays.
Wow Japan is clean??? What does it mean to be clean while make others have to be responsible for their trash? Did you even read the news recently? What on earth Japan throw to the sea with no hesitation? You know who consumes the plastics the most in this planet? I have never seen a rich man house that is dirty. Similarly, i have never seen a rich country that is dirty. Well go study the economics of trash.
Also, if a Japanese doesn’t like their leaders, they choose to shoot them in public. In Malaysia, we take the democratic way. So which one is more Islamic now?
My point is…ahh you know it… do not simply blame the religion. And do not be an Islamophobic. Let’s do better.
Not unique, I think. Dirties in governance is exist in every country in the world. Any giovernance that forcing the citizen to adopt single faith and identity is only brewing revolt someday, because the fact is human is heterogenous. I am more realist in stance.
or maybe its because japan is not a muslim country, it manage to be what malaysia didnt

Japan has high suicide rate so not exactly heaven also..
Blaming Islam is irrational. Point out to which part of Islam is to be blamed.. is it the 5 daily prayers that instil discipline? Is it the teaching of modesty or is it the teaching of discipline and abstaining away from alcohol and adultery? Perhaps, its the annual fasting? Or the once in a lifetime spiritual pilgrimage?
Which part of Islam is at fault? Is it the greeting of Salam (peace)? Or perhaps you feel it is the faith and humble submission to our one true Creator?
Is it the saying of bismillahirahmanirahim
(in the name of God the Beneficent the Merciful) or alhamdulillah (all Praise be to God) or Allahu Akbar (God is Greater)
Which part of the Islamic program you have a problem with? You have to specify..
Of course, Quran says there is no compulsion in religion. You may prefer netflix, pornography, hollywood, school mass killings, high suicide rate, high divorce rate.. totally up to you..

Hello everyone, don't use religion for political purposes and interests, because this is the politicization of religion. Don't separate politics and religion, because they can recognize and legalize atheism, LGBT, gambling, adultery, and other things that conflict with religious values and norms. The fact is that atheism, LGBT, gambling and adultery have been recognized and legalized in western countries which separate the relationship between religion and state. Do politics based on religious values and norms so that it becomes correct and good politics, thank you 🙏
@@muhammadfarhan4755 wrong you muslims are fvcktard because you dont separate religions and politics
Championing religious issue has been in fact a business model to some of them.
Right. Malaysia can never get rid of the shackles of race and religion. Hence Malaysia's progress and development will always be stunted and only move at a snail's pace. With climate change upheaval, every country needs smart, competent and capable problem solving leaders not leaders who only want to play politics and power grab for self interest gains. Malaysia is full of these corrupt incompetent "leaders". No one with sane mind would think PAS is competent enough to solve all the impending climate change upheaval. You can't pray away the problems. It's 2023, non-Malays are still being called "Pendatang". Chinese Malaysians who are able should really consider moving. The future is not very hopeful for Malaysia.
@@beproudasian8279 I cannot imagine if the extremists like PAS were to gain power, we would be the equivalent of Pakistan or Iran where Islamic laws are not used for the advantage of instilling good values for all the population to follow but instead using those barbaric laws to control the Muslim population and discriminate those seen as “kafir” to them.
One of these examples is Pakistan where they have this obsolete law called the blasphemy law which is supposedly is there to criminalise anybody that is insulting religious communities and disrespecting the Prophet Muhammad and the holy Quran, this law provides penalties ranging from a fine to death. But instead, this law have been abused by many radical islamists to discriminate against non Muslims whom they see as threat. For example, a Muslim person whom have disagreement with let’s say a non Muslims on petty matters can use the blasphemy law against that non Muslim even though there are no discussions on religion in the conversation and in the end, the non Muslim can be charged under that law without the need to provide evidence and going through courts.
This is also supported by the radical lawmakers in order to keep the non Muslims and the moderate politicians in line. For example, there is the Asia Bibi case where a non Muslim woman named Asia Bibi was picking fruit in a village two hours west of Lahore. Prosecutors say when Bibi dipped her cup into a bucket of drinking water during a lunch break, her co-workers complained the water had been contaminated by a non-Muslim. This then prompted the men to use the blasphemy law against her, and when the lawyer whom was representing Asia Bibi, whom was founded not guilty, Radical Islamists then rioted in the cities and demanded the lawyer be stoned to death.
This has severely affected daily lives of non Muslims in Pakistan where they have witnessed incidents of mobs burning their villages and churches just because some Muslims don’t agree with what they are doing. As a result, thousands of Pakistani Christians have sought asylum in countries like Thailand where they were then detained by the authorities.
Now Imagine if one day the scenario is happening in Malaysia, I as a non Muslims would not know how I would feel safe anymore.
Chinese has been using fake halal and jawi writings to sell their products since 1957.

Respectfully as a South East Asian Malay Muslim, thank god I live in SG. I feel really bad for the Chinese & Indian minorities in MY.
Feel sorry for your Malay minorities for not being trusted and treated as second class citizens. Their loyalty is still question till this day. Having the highest TFR but remain as the minority till God knows when so that they chinese will always gain the political power. Being liberal living in a secular country doesnt makes you look modern, nope you are not. Stop chanting "equality", i knew SINGAPURA better than you and your whole family combine😊
Yes u r right... really our country is in sick now!!!
Indonesia is just as bad.
Really... What happened when you realise that SG so called unity is skin deep and social structures are held by an authoritative government. What happens when it all unravels, all the bad about Malaysia at the very least it is all in the open and a democratic process of finding the middle ground is socially constructed.
Until you have to book a public space for a procession as a minority.
Race and religion issues are opium to succeed in "malay" politicians and their community. The more radical they are, the more successful it will be. But the consequence is Malaysians and the country will suffer regression in many ways eventually.
To understand the intolerance we need to look back at how Malaysia got like this in the first place. This all started after the Iranian Revolution in 1979 which the secular system was abandoned in favour of the fundamentalist Islamic governance led by Imam Khomeini all because they want to depose the secular but autocratic Shah monarchy whom was viewed as the agent of the Zionist west by the radicals under the slogan “Islam is the solution”.
This move then spillover into other Islamic countries including Malaysia which some of our Malay Islamic parties adopted this motto and this causes a political competition between UMNO and PAS during the 1980s to see who can out”Islam” each other to see who is more “Islam” and this is how we got into this mess today.
Not only that, Some of our ulamas whom have studied in countries like Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan where Islamic fundamentalism is rampant even in some institutions, brought back the radical form of Islam back into Malaysia and this adds more salt to the wound.
Why do you think that Malays in the 50s, 60s and 70s were different compared to now? One of these examples is in the P.Ramlee movies in which the women are not fully covered, wearing kebayas and even wearing swimsuits, not only that, during that era they beer commercials with Malay people as advertised.
Another fun fact, Iran used to have a female swimming team participating in the olympics before 1979.

The answer to CNA's question is NO
Certainly will be.
Right. A resounding no. Malaysia can never get rid of the shackles of race and religion. Hence Malaysia's progress and development will always be stunted and only move at a snail's pace.

Go on then no one force u
I think we are back to the same problem that we had prior to the formation of Federation of Malaya where the non-Bumis and Bumis refuses to compromise each other's interests for a larger goal
Malaysian Federation is a time bomb anyway
Malaysia is a train wreck in slow motion. The Malays make up about 60% of the population, the Chinese about 30%. Yet the politics is almost entirely in Malay hands and the economy almost entirely in Chinese hands. The spread of exclusivist Islam from up North is that deadly spark waiting to ignite the nation's unstable mix.
Malaysia is figuratively on a bobsled to hell with the rising Islamic fundamentalism from the east coast and the northern peninsula. The green wave will start spreading southward and westward.
eh maybe in the 60s it was. and sure most of the billionaires are of chinese descent. but notice how those billionaires are basically the same richest of malaysia from decades ago. while race-based parties are still a thing, lot of chinese politicians are popping up compared to decades prior. and when it comes to “economy almost entirely in chinese hands”, thats also a massive exaggeration, based on latest DOSM data,the private sector contributes to 60.2% of Malaysia GDP. so we can assume that stereotypically, the bumiputera hold the gov controlled 40% and non bumis like chinese control 60% right? but if you subtract the growing number of private bumi businesses and companies and subtract the huge amount of GDP from foreign western companies with bases in Malaysia, that 60.2% gets smaller and smaller. so the economy being “entirely in the hands of chinese” is simply false.
And the hindus :( getting lesser and lesser, so much so that they're barely mentioned
Being in religious schools would only make the country more divisive, since they wouldn’t mix with other races or religions.
Malaysia must be a true secular state, separating religion from politics. Malaysia is 40 years behind Singapore in economic development and lifting the living standards of her citizenry precisely because Islam played a negative role in the country's governance.
Malaysians must either choose economic development/progress and separate religion from politics.
never . malaysia is never become a secular state . because islam as official religion and sultan is head of islam
34:22 wrong. LGBTs aren't discriminated in polytheistic Hinduism, e.g.Ardhanareshwar, Gandharwas etc are part of Hindu folklore. Even atheist have equal space in Hinduism, e.g. Charvaka
That's why polytheistic Hinduism is a joke.

About this guy Caprice, he is a perfect example of what a cultural Muslim is.

he looks like a clown. why is a rapper even speaking on politics
It's been like this forever. In daily life, different races get along pretty well. But it's an ugly mess if you look at politics. It's sad that we cannot apply what's in daily life to the national level. I'm so tired of the endless bickering as the country sinks. The mentality of "us vs them" sometimes rears its ugly head in real life interactions, especially in incidents where people of different races get into accidents, for example. It's so toxic, and I have to admit it makes me want to leave the country for good.
That's what they want u to do, leave the country voluntarily instead of ethnic-cleansing like Myanmar which would make a hell of a big headlines in news
ya go move somewhere else, move move
Can you elaborate on these real-life situations? I am curious as a Filipino.
What Hadi said is correct, in 1slam you cannot separate politics with 1slam. If u read about Caliphate only then can one understand what Hadi is saying. Just look at 1SIS, Tahliban & Afghanistan. Hadi ultimately wants a Caliphate.
Every Muslim has a different opinion. Actually, Afghanistan has been destroyed by the western empire. but the Taliban want to take it back. but afghanistan citizens n also many arab leaders do not agree with the current taliban government ruler, taliban need to build back the afghanistan after get destroy by many empire, btw isis is still there but many have died. The Iraqi - syrian government has already destroyed many of these ISIS members. the turkish army also has killed this isis leader. btw majority of malaysian muslim not supporting this pas party. Islam is not teaching about create the new caliphate or empire stuff. sometime hypocrite human just want a power that the reason sometime we call some leader penunggang agama, average billions of muslim around the world just follow the god & quran only.
So let's listen to Hadi so Msia can become backward like Afghanistan? Do you want Msia to be a poorer extremist country so your next generation will have no economic opportunities and suffer when grow up?

When someone who profess to be muslim come out and say corruption = donation or slandering others and championing rights based on race, you know that person is going against the actual teachings of Islam. Hadi Awang is a politician who exploits Islam for his own personal agenda.

I grew up in Malaysia as Malay with muslim on my IC been to SK, SMK, Madrasah, College and briefly abroad. But still many curiosity wanders around. My first vote during GE15 was quite an influential time to see specks history of things happening summarized into this video.
I really like this documentary for shedding light on religion in politics. Bringing in the UMNO feuds with PAS from the past, academic upbringing from increased number of madrasah, BNs downfall, current sentiments and future predictions. From people who are well versed on this.
I wish for even more touchy things such as :
- Pride Swatch collect confescation

Islam is a universal religion, encompassing all elements of life, politics, state and homeland are part of Islam. there is no such thing as separation between religion and politics.
But in my personal opinion, religion and politics must be separated, so that democracy can really materialize, not just appointing someone from a certain group

From what I know, at least in Indonesia things like questions regarding their ancient Hindu and Buddhist cultural roots not only in terms of dances and arts but also their ancient architectural discoveries from the Srivijaya and Majapahit period were not politicized and debated on their religious origins. They still manage to preserve their ancient Hindu and Buddhist temple like their Borobudur, Prambanan, tons of Candis which are still well preserved in its original form till this day. Not like Malaysia in which these historical artefacts and sites are ALWAYS being exploited and politicised by radical politicians and all those so-called historians whom are trying to deny any links of these ancient artefacts like Bujang Valley to Hindu and Buddhism and are trying to argue that these were instead a relic of some ancient Malay Sultanate when the truth is the other way round. Cultures and art like Mak Yong, Joget, Wayang Kulit or even traditional costumes like the kebaya are starting to be frowned upon as Unislamic. The size Bujang Valley is NOTHING compared to the mighty Borobudur which AT LEAST has a meaning that symbolised Indonesia’s once greatest Hindu and Buddhist civilisations like the Srivijaya and Majapahit Empires.
An American here who lived in Malaysia in the 70s and 80s. I remember I used to play with all ethnicities while growing up. I hope while Malaysians are exploring thier identity, they do not lose this Malaysia’s uniqueness. I have always bragged about Malaysia’s multirace society to Americans, especially the public holidays Malaysia celebrates for the four main religions. Malaysia is the only country in the world that has this special respect for each other.
Multi ethnic doesn’t equate multicultural necessarily. Brazil is multi ethnic but not necessarily culturally pluralistic (predominantly latin Catholic/Christian). Indonesia is also multi ethnic but even better they’re multi cultural as well. Just because they’re not obvious to you as a Westerner doesn’t mean there are no variety of ethnic groups in Indonesia with various cultural beliefs.

Interesting piece!
I am answering even without watching the video. The answer is no, because as long as the government promotes religion as a core element in nation building, religious issues will remain. Religion SHOULD NEVER BE a part of government. It should be left to individuals to decide what they want to believe.

34:04 to the lost man here, Indian religions of the dharma (Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism) do not condemn LGBTQ people. In fact, many recognize gender on a spectrum and that there is even a third gender. Social attitudes after colonization or assimilation into other countries does not change the fact: religion can't be used as a justification for all problems in the world. That's when your own mind, your own rationalization, and your own opinions come into play
This is a really good documentary about the religion in malaysia.
Sometimes the politics here are evolving but backwards when religion is involved. But a one great man says, "Don't blame the god, blame the fandom"

To understand the intolerance we need to look back at how Malaysia got like this in the first place. This all started after the Iranian Revolution in 1979 which the secular system was abandoned in favour of the fundamentalist Islamic governance led by Imam Khomeini all because they want to depose the secular but autocratic Shah monarchy whom was viewed as the agent of the Zionist west by the radicals under the slogan “Islam is the solution”.
This move then spillover into other Islamic countries including Malaysia which some of our Malay Islamic parties adopted this motto and this causes a political competition between UMNO and PAS during the 1980s to see who can out”Islam” each other to see who is more “Islam” and this is how we got into this mess today.
Not only that, Some of our ulamas whom have studied in countries like Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan where Islamic fundamentalism is rampant even in some institutions, brought back the radical form of Islam back into Malaysia and this adds more salt to the wound.
Why do you think that Malays in the 50s, 60s and 70s were different compared to now? One of these examples is in the P.Ramlee movies in which the women are not fully covered, wearing kebayas and even wearing swimsuits, not only that, during that era they beer commercials with Malay people as advertised.
Another fun fact, Iran used to have a female swimming team participating in the olympics before 1979.
You need religion to disappear, it is probably the most damaging thing in our society and what holds many countries back from their full potential

its hard to mix religion in politics, religion is dependent on faith and everyone's faith is different, you can't force everyone to believe or to not believe in faith. When politics is involved, you gonna attack others or be attacked, with religion involved, it turns ugly, because of the faith in higher power, believing your God is the supreme truth and dont care about the faith of others. Faith is something you cant reasoned with, you can only blindly trust in it and that itself makes it dangerous in politics of multi ethnic and multi religious society

It looks like Malays are having an identity crisis??
Only 6% of them identify themselves as a Malay first. Religion is never an identity to anyone but linguistic ethnicity is the first identity to most of the people worldwide...
Even Gulf Arabs identify themselves as Arabs first more than Muslim because Islam is part of Arabic culture due to its native origin..
It is better for Malays to concentrate on their own ethnic history and involve in creating more Malay literature, arts and spreading Malay values to younger generation...
I think Malaysian Chinese, Tamils, Punjabis don't have this identity crisis because they are proud of their linguistic origin...
If you put your culture above faith, then yes.
Chinese? They dont even wear their traditional clothes in Singapore during CNY. All are whites wannabe. Yellows pretending to be white😂
@@tokitoyotokitoyoAnd interested in belly dance 😁
Only 6% nah bro try hard to be smart
discrimination is normal when it’s sugar-coated with the religion.
If less people are identifying as citizens of a country, perhaps they are unhappy or confused about what it means to be citizens of a country. So, they turn to a more defined definition , ie that of religions which have a longer history than their countries. Management of a country is very important as it leads to either the success or demise of countries as we observe today.
Ikrr, Malaysia needs a unifying identity, a fixed culture that everyone must assimilated to or else we r just gonna be exclusive n highly polarised forever
Malaysia is biased when it comes to its government policies. Most of the time the favors always go to the Muslims and they have the most power in the country

Extremism happening in Malaysia gets no attention of Western countries.
But why Western Countries remain concerned about India then. Such Hypocrites.
It is crucial to acknowledge the significance of religious freedom and respect for diverse faiths in fostering a harmonious and inclusive society. The imposition or forced adherence to a particular religion undermines the principles of individual autonomy and freedom of belief. Encouraging an atmosphere where people are free to practice their own faith without coercion is essential for maintaining a peaceful coexistence among individuals of different religious backgrounds worldwide.
Religious identity should not be exploited as a means to create divisions or instigate conflicts among communities. Instead, it is important to promote understanding, tolerance, and respect for all religions, recognizing the shared values that can unite people rather than emphasizing differences. By cultivating an environment where mutual respect prevails, we can foster dialogue, build bridges, and promote cooperation among individuals with various beliefs.
Humanity should always take precedence over religion, as it is the common thread that binds us all together. By prioritizing our shared humanity, we can transcend religious boundaries and work towards a more inclusive and compassionate society. It is essential to understand that a person's faith should not be used to assert superiority or dominance over others, nor should it be a basis for discrimination or oppression.
Furthermore, it is important to maintain a clear distinction between religion and the state. A nation should not be governed solely by religious doctrines, as this can lead to a suppression of individual freedoms and undermine the principles of a democratic society. Instead, a balanced approach that respects religious pluralism while upholding a national constitution can ensure that the rights and freedoms of all citizens are protected.
Promoting a Uniform Civil Code that treats all individuals equally, irrespective of their religious background, is an important step towards creating a just and fair society. Such a code ensures that personal laws and practices are harmonized with the principles of equality and non-discrimination. It recognizes the importance of individual rights and provides a framework for a cohesive society where every citizen is treated with dignity and fairness.
Lastly, it is vital to remain cautious of those who manipulate religious institutions for their own divisive agendas. Extremist elements within any religion can exploit people's faith to spread hatred and intolerance. Vigilance against such actions and a commitment to promoting genuine understanding and respect can help counter these negative influences and promote a culture of peace and coexistence.
In conclusion, safeguarding religious freedom, respecting all faiths, and ensuring that religion does not supersede the principles of humanity and national constitutions are essential for promoting a harmonious and inclusive society. By fostering mutual respect, encouraging dialogue, and upholding individual rights, we can overcome the challenges posed by religious identity and work towards a world where diversity is celebrated and peaceful coexistence is cherished.
Having lived in Malaysia for the past seven years, I can confidently affirm that Malaysian Muslims are not extreme in any way. The freedom/ choice to practice one's religion does not automatically lead to extremism. Malaysian Chinese and Malaysian Hindus (Indians) are also religious, and there is nothing wrong with that. This is the beauty of Malaysia, where everyone embraces their own religion to lead a purposeful life. The Western ideology of life, politics, and religion may not fully understand the Asian way from an outsider's perspective. When it comes to politics in Malaysia, it should be up to its people to decide what they want. The concept of development is not limited to the Singaporean model. Development can have different definitions, and Malaysia should be able to choose its own path towards progress. They will surely reach their goals, even if it's not today, then tomorrow. Let the slow and steady win the race.
This country had gone mad.
It all started from Mahathir's time, leveraging on elements of "maruah melayu" (Malay's dignity) and religion for political gains. Nowadays every politician finds opportunity to find a platform to showcase how they "defend" Islam and Malay's identity, for their selfish political gains, not for the people. The recent cancellation of Good Vibes Festival is one example, they could have just banned the band that was disrespectful, but they banned the entire event altogether, and this is a popular decision because "everyone there is anti-islam". What is appaling is majority of population is more tolerant to the corruption but at the first hint of islam / the Malay "identity" being challenged, everyone rush out to defend; but contradictingly many of islamic laws that require more effort is ignored - i.e accepting bribes, throwing rubbish onto street, not giving their all at work, little consideration to public spaces. Humans are inherently biased.
This is result of years of conditioning since 80's to move towards excessive religionism, so much so it is hard for any new govt to move away from this and be merit-based instead - any political party that aims to be more liberal will not win majority of votes, younger generation become more conditioned and due to poorer education, lacked critical thinking to assess things from various perspective but instead zealously choose the view that they were brought up with. It is good to have a religion, but not when political interest / personal distorted views are branded under the guise of "religion", religion should come hand in hand with critical thinking, to challenge what was presented in order to view the true essence of the teaching as is and separate from vile intentions guised under "religion". Religion should also have integrity between belief and actions and taken in as a whole, not cherry picking / selective to parts that is favorable to our views

In my humble opinion, CNA should be a bit more careful in addressing this issue. There should be a clear message that Muslim politicians, in Malaysia or other countries, may not be carrying the right Islamic governance. There is no problem in the religion, the problem lies with people
the video didn’t mention problems there is problem with muslim politicians. but the problem is never involve religion into politicians. Look at what PAS do!!
involved religion into politicians, why?! will that be fair for others races? try to think if you’re other’s religion/races in Malaysia. what will you feel?
actually Malaysia is not muslim they are recently convert Malaysia is completely different from middle East or Arab Muslims islam is completely alien and foreign for malays
Unfortunately, no, even without watching the video, this is just impossible to expect
we’ve already gone too far down the hole, there’s nothing with can do to pull ourselves, even as a non-muslim myself, every single one of us is pulled down, no matter the race
The only ones that benefits from this are the politicians, always
welcome to Malaysia ig, cool places to visit, but god, I wished the politics weren’t such a mess (too bad pretty much everywhere else is just as bad)

One of these examples is in the P.Ramlee movies in which the women are not fully covered, wearing kebayas and even wearing swimsuits, not only that, during that era they beer commercials with Malay people as advertised.
Another fun fact, Iran used to have a female swimming team participating in the olympics before 1979.
Right. A resounding no. Malaysia can never get rid of the shackles of race and religion. Hence Malaysia's progress and development will always be stunted and only move at a snail's pace. With climate change upheaval, every country needs smart, competent and capable problem solving leaders not leaders who only want to play politics and power grab for self interest gains. Malaysia is full of these corrupt incompetent "leaders". No one with sane mind would think PAS is competent enough to solve all the impending climate change upheaval. You can't pray away the problems. It's 2023, non-Malays are still being called "Pendatang". Chinese Malaysians who are able should really consider moving. The future is not very hopeful for Malaysia.
To be honest, no, everywhere else is not as bad as Malaysia when it comes to religion in politics. This case in my opinion is a great proof that religion and politics should NEVER mix.
In the comments here too, I have seen a lot of racism from Malays for other ethnicities and many people still don’t seem to understand the actual cause of problems instead of finger pointing at minorities.
Such a shame, a country with potential to be really developed is trying to force 7th century laws to a modern world with modern economic/political needs and waste the potential completely :/
Well worked out written and video versions
Caprice took "be as stupid as you look" to military grade levels
Malaysia where majority is given preference
Like 75% chai-knees with their "SAP" school and so on? Want me to list more? Oh you're a Malaysian. You dont realise how racist and chauvinist your southern neighbours are🫨
that rapper caprice is no less a politician than his government official parents- a religious conservative. He fits the exact mold of the sons/daughters of politicans in southeast asia. If not politics they enter a career in mass media and communications where they spread their political agenda.
Can you convince alcoholics that liquor is bad for health?
Yes..go to changkat, how indian harrased the tourist.. chinese gangster..
Are you comparing Islam to alcohol?
First, you must define what is bad and what is good OBJECTIVELY from the first principles. Are the criteria you adopt to judge right and wrong can be proven as an Objective Truth? If not, it is just subjective morality like secularism is based on, since secularism is just a product of humans subjectivity that opposes Objective Truth/Reality.
Even India and USA mix religion in their politics.
India and USA are secular states.
@@DGoldy303 India is not a secular country anymore. run by Hindu fascist. just look at there. become worse. we in southeast asia still living in peace.
never heard of separation of church and state?
@@DGoldy303 India is secular and I'm from mars
US is not
thats a sure path, starts from religious, to conservatism and finally extremism... true for all regions, not just islam
An interesting study on a developing country!!
I have problems with politicians who politicized isIam as a weapon more than politicians who are politically speaking as a muslim, its the major issues with many political islamist party and malaysia pan islamic party (PAS)
just wonder why most of the religions out there understand and respect human rights while the extremes one from Islam doesn't 💀
Have u ever friend with Muslim?
@@sharaaryana4221 Yes. I have a lot of Muslim friends but they are not extremist. They respect me, we tolerate each others.
🙏 With great respect to all sides , prefer to use chronological dates of events to state points as not to be biased or marginalized others , the ancient Indian & Middle Kingdom of Chinese civilizations were already established roughly around 5,500+ years ago respectively & many of their ancient Hindu or Buddhist Temples still can be found throughout Northern & Southern East Asia all the way to Indonesia & the Christianity existed some 2023 years ago , then followed by Islam some 1444H years ago in the Middle East ... So clearly , Hinduism , Buddhism & Christianity flourished in Northern & Southern East Asia long before Islam introduced to South East Asian Countries by Arab merchants or settlers ... So we are so Thankful to late Stateman Lee Kuan Yew for putting in place Meritocracy based governing system & banning religion or ethnicity based politics in Singapore to avoid promoting the self~entitled Elite groups versus the Marginalized in a Modern & Cosmopolitan Singapore! 🙏 Thank You So Much Stateman Lee Kuan Yew for your far~sightedness! 🕯🌷🌿🌏💜🕊🇸🇬
Negara yang memelihara kebodahan dengan cara memepertahankan politik perkauman ras dan agama
Well, I, for one, disagree with statements like "Islamic conservatism does not equate to Islamic extremism" because let's not kid ourselves, the line to draw between the two parallels is very blurry to some parties. Some will inevitably deviate and take essential detail of the religion out of context, cherry picking "dalils" that suits their convenience to justify horrible actions in order for the ideas of an Islamic society that, which is more often than not, values conservatism, becomes the reality of this country.
As an instance, forcing non Muslims to cover up and dress more "appropriately" when all she was wearing was just a t-shirt. "My religion says you can't do this, my religion says you can't do that" tell me exactly how on heavens does that have to do with me?
I am all for your rights as an individual to practice and confesses to your faith and beliefs and how it affects YOUR way of life. However, I can never sit still and observe quietly when it arrived to the point where your religion affects MY way of life.
same here in Indonesia😂
Nahh. Only in Jakarta, Depok, Bekasi, Sumbar, and West Java. Where PKS and Kadrun exist
