A theory on why many kawan-kawan malays accept corrupt leaders? - from Dr Mohd Tajuddin

He said “
Many malays pay little or no tax, My two children, both uni graduates, earn about Rm4k per month and contribute only a few ringgit in taxes, I, on the other hand, pay a substantial amount in tax, but a high earning non malay friend pays 4 times more than I do.

Because many malays do not feel the weight of taxation, corruption involving public funds does not resonate with them

The civil service and political leadership are overwhelmingly malay - about 80%

People may say the country is drowning in debt due to 1MDB, but salaries still come in. Why then should the malays worry about corruption?

As long as salaries and allowance flow, corruption has no impact.

Civil servants and malay businessmen are rarely told that their wages and development allocations - roads, schools, infrastructure - are funded largely by taxes paid by non-malays employed outside government.

The plundering of billions through corruption does not strike home because malays do not feel the burden of national debt.

Corrupt leaders chosen by malays borrow from external sources while siphoning off wealth that rightfully belongs to the people.

Whether at school or university, this issue is never taught.”

The views above expressed are from the writer, Prof. Dr. Mohd Tajuddin Mohd Rasdi

He is prominent Malaysian architect, academic and public commentator. UCSI lists him as a Professor in its School of Architecture and Built Environment. He previously spent much of his academic career at UTM and was made full professor in 2005.

Here is the full speech

More than 5,000 bullying cases, 6 recent student deaths: What is really happening in Malaysian schools? Youth violence problem is getting serious to ignore!

More than 5k bullying cases in school between Jan to Aug 2026, BUT only 129 cases (up to Oct 2025) are filled with the Malaysia Police. ITS A HUGE GAP here!

According to MOE, 7681 school bullying incidents in 2024.

Major youth violent cases:

July 2025, Sabah (Girl) - Death
July 2025, Kedah (Girl)
July 2025, Klang, (Girl)
Aug 2025, KL, (Boy&Girl) – Death
Oct 2025, Negeri Sembilan (Boy) – Death
Oct 2025, Selangor (Girl) – Death
July 2026, Selangor (Girl)
July 2026, Selangor (Boy+Father)
August 2026, KL (Girl) – Death
September 2026, Negeri Sembilan (Girl) – Death
October 2026, Johor (Girl) - Death

Is school still a safe haven for our children?

Wat is the root cause tat resulting this?

Are we spent enough time with them?

Are we giving them the attention, love, and support they need?

Is our MOE putting effort on dealing this matters based on the past data collected?

Will CCTV helps? If they know the reported cases had increased since year/s ago, why now only install CCTV?

“BIG GIFT” given to our former PM prior to Malaysia Day 2026 – FULL DISCHARGE and AQUITTAL

FULL DISCHARGE and AQUITTAL – FREE & BEBAS FROM ALL 4 CHARGES (Bukhary Equity / RM200 million)

1 abuse-of-power charge + 3 money-laundering charges

AQUITTAL also means these charges have been disposed of in his favour after the prosecution chose not to continue and the judge ordered an acquittal.

FUNNY THING is the prosecution asked for a DNAA — discharge not amounting to an acquittal

DNAA IS REALLY A MALAYSIA BOLEH TERM

List of charges:
Charges 1 to 4 (Abuse of power – obtained RM232.5 million for Bersatu)

C1. Bukhary Equity — RM200 million
C2. Nepturis — RM1 million
C3. Mamfor — RM19.5 million
C4. Datuk Azman Yusoff — RM12 million

Charges 5 to 7 (Money laundering / unlawful proceeds)

3 charges all related money allegedly received from Bukhary Equity and deposited into Bersatu's bank accounts.

There r 3 remaining charges, all is abuse-of-position charges, involving $$$$$$$ obtained for Bersatu

Punishment if found guilty is 20 years imprisonment and a fine of at least five times the value of the gratification or RM10,000, whichever is higher.
