Simple guide to success in Malaysia
SINCE everyone in this country is an expert in giving advice to everyone else, I thought I would join in and generously give my totally unsolicited counsel to all those aspiring to join cupboards or closets of any kind. Any likeness to anything familiar around us is naturally a complete coincidence.
The anarchy of bad manners
Have we regressed to such a childlike state that name-calling, jeering and shoving are the only ways we can express rage?
It’s a troll’s world out there
Hiding behind self-proclaimed piety, they shout their indignation with name-calling, insults and insinuations.
When cultural appropriation is inappropriate
Taking on another culture could result in the obliteration of our own.
Tackling the Rohingya ‘problem’
We could have signed the United Nations Convention on Refugees and we could also have dealt with the source of the problem.
Disturbing tales from learning hubs
One involves an ‘anti-hysteria’ kit; the other a penchant for porn. Maybe what’s needed is a scientific cure, and not mere mumbo jumbo.
Battling Islamic State influence
If at home we don’t have any tolerance for people who disagree with us, how do we explain how IS treats differences in beliefs and views so violently?
Diversity begins at school
When children spend most of their waking hours only around those who are similar to them, they tend to believe that this environment represents the world.
A step closer to barbarism
Regardless of whether we can actually implement amputations, floggings and stoning, the mentality is already implanted.
The way to defend women’s rights
We don’t want you to just love us, we also want you to respect us as equals.
It all boils down to education
The root of all sorts of societal problems, including religious radicalism and violence, is in the schools.
