theists and needy relationship seekers

Religion is insurance. To re-ligament, to connect.

Deity-worshipers, animists and theists alike, have a lot in common with people who enter into relationships because of item 4. below. Often there exists among them a fear of death, which creates a fear of suffering, which creates a fear of ( loneliness, public shaming, poverty, sickness, etc. ). I think of them as the same sort of needy children, who never acquired independence.

It seems, most people marry out of one of the following :

1. social convention ( less personal preference )

2. regulatory mandate ( formal, or informal rules, with penalties for non-compliance )

3. capitalism ( access to goods, services, currency, class markers )

4. fear of abandonment ( needing someone/s to standby and pick them up when they fall )

middle class myths

Some common myths of the middleclass :

1. Your quality of life is fine

2. Society is designed to protect your quality of life

3. You can thus easily improve your quality of life via social activism

The last one is close to the truth : you replace "easily" with "dangerously" 

Malaysians wasting time as usual

Education is unfortunately, a sideshow, in Malaysian politics.

The religious and language aspects are brought into the main programming because cultural identity is politically the main act. 

Structurally, to attack this, attention returns to the removal of racial identity as the core of Malaysian politics. That is a very detailed consideration. Generally, the most elegant solution is for the COR to get more involved in leadership of the country's goals and missions. 

The executive does not have a strong majority, and I expect the post-BN era of consensus discovery to take all of 20-30 years.
