weekly interfaith meetups

"FIRST Hungarian-Malaysian Islamic-Christian dialogue at ISTAC" 

Hah, saw this like 10 hours before the event and started forwarding it to the relevant bodies. I might pop by, from Sentul. 

I'm agnostic myself, but I do think it is a shame that such dialogues are not weekly events between Malaysian groups.

The council of non-Islamic religions has been disappontingly inactive since M Moorthy. Now the plebs are left to fight each other's superstitions without intellectual guidance. 

Malaysian unexceptionalism

1. Rudimentary governance issue : tactics < strat < goals < values is the precise order of abstraction, depending of course, simply on the definition of the terms. 

2. K12 Malaysian education teaches a lot about "what the world did to Malaysia" but disproportionately little about "what Malaysia did to the world" and "wtf is Malaysia TRYING NOW AND IN THE NEXT FIFTY YEARS to do to the world". 

3. So, I see your point, and I'll raise you a few more : Malaysian individuals are often seen to be obsessed with trivia, because at the core of the governance of Malaysia ... every branch : legislative, executive, judicial, and the univalent royal branch also ... have failed to decide, and thus have been unable to communicate, a global mission for the country. 

4. You can say perhaps, the Rukunegara gets as far as values, but there is no next step, a set of goals such as which American calls its exceptionalism in international affairs. 

5. In military terms, Malaysia lacks clear leadership. But it is a very young country, still adolescent in temperament, and probably quite pliable in the future. So we will just sit around and wait to see what happens, I suppose.

harassment and knowledge thereof

Training the boys / and others

As a male who has harassed many females, I think I shall say that often the fact that women feel harassed is not made apparent to males. So in areas less formal that explicit law, there's a lot of hidden information that could be cleared up at the training stage for children. Many adults won't say they are uncomfortable, and simply ghost - valid defense mechanism, but the uninformed discomforter is likely to repeat the process until they realise the other party has specific reasons for silence🤣

Thought it would be helpful to share this in the present season

Discussion :

i can afford to be honest, it speaks to your original point, and my point is adorned by the attached non-apology. i treat education as an engineering issue.

( Original point by mariannetpy on threads : "It’s crazy to think about the fact that EVERY woman I know in my life has been sexually harassed at some point in their life." )
