i dislike suria.not for the very reason that they have meaningless programmes sometimes, but more for the fact that they eliminate all religious aspects and values because...this is a secular state. okay, so we can't blame suria alone.
talking about social issues and problems, dysfunctional families and such... they emphasise the need for us to "succeed like other races", "be on par!", "don't get married too early because you don't have money", etc. it's clear. the malays that are lagging behind are the malays who are reproducing at the speed of lightning. and the advice we give them, is to be successful like the whites/chinese. what about polishing our values first before starting a family? what about cherishing out parents first? what about being morally sound first before starting a family?
the only reasons i can think of that leads to divorce are - angst, no money -> angst, affairs -> angst, jobless -> angst and then turning to unconventional methods of "de-stressing". imagine if these malays are true to God, to the one and only. if only they seek solace from him instead of going wild. if only they don't drink alcohol and get drunk and be a bad influence for their kids. if only they know how to love because of God. imagine how much it will change everyone's perspectives of rowdy, underclass malays who are aimless. God is the only One whom we should all turn to when we're lost. He will lead to us to the right path. Yes, they may be hard off and poor, but God is with those who are in need. if they do things because of God, they will seek every possible means of finding a job that is Halal.
imagine how much the world can change, if everyone just think of Him and do things because of Him.
