My great respect for Professor Dr Mohd Tajuddin Bin Mohd Rasdi....
Finally an open , educated , no-strings attached discussion🤗We really need more of these👍Really enjoyed the session
Well said!!🙏❤
Thank you so much Prof for your wise n open opinions. If Only PM choose you as the Menteri Pendidikan, then there'll be hope for our education system. Tq
Make him PM
Great speech prof....became ur fan after listening to ur speeches...
Professor Tajuddin, it is your most respectful traits being a liberal Malay that people admire, never mind what others say about you. That is exactly make you difference from others. To me, you are great the way as you are. And those being arrogant, disrespectful of others and despise the minorities are anywhere near you.
A great respect for Proffesor Tajuddin.
I'm not a Muslim but I love to hear a genuine Muslim prof like himself speaks. He is the real Muslim that preach what he talks
You only want to hear what you want to hear
@@tatsfortat973same statement well suit to u too.
there are a lot of misinformation about muslim in the world. just forget about western propaganda.
Islam is a complete way of life, personal ritual and spiritual development, morals, judiciary and social interaction.
propaganda usually used one aspect and interprete it into another, creating confusion and hatred
There is no such thing as being a genuine muslim.....it is either you are a muslim, or you are not.
@@abuhassimmohdsaid2660 butthurt we are eh?
Prof Tajuddin is highly intelligent, sincere and so secure in his faith. A truly exemplary Muslim.
I am not a Muslim but l have great respect for Prof. Mohamed Tazuddin for being not a racist but open minded accepting all races in Malaysia.
He is a libtard.
An academician who speaks his mind without fear or favour. A true blue professor at heart who knows and feels that knowledge will not weaken your religious conviction. A person who sees and tells it as it should. Too bad the majority of his race feels threatened whenever he speaks common sense.
our education system suck, not by coincidence im sure. its global. even in Islamic universities, all their focus was ritualistic aspect of the religion.
Justice, social movements and political Islam have been systematically dismantle by the capitalist west.
where there are oppressions there will be hate. our financial , political and social structure are the tool they use.
all the hate politician should received they cunningly divert to their community. people who love politician are not that bright.😅
Alhamdulillah. Finally i’m seeing this coming on air. Been waiting for many many years 😭
This particular subject needs to be played on repeat in all platforms in all possible forms, shapes and sizes. like seriously.
So that the enlightenment stays enlightened.
We need you to be our next Education Minister of Malaysia, sir. Malaysia need you 🙏🙏🙏
Yap !
He's the best to be chosen as education minister!😂
Great man this Proff.
OMG, this is by far the best podcast for me. I have so much in common with Prof.
He is the cream of Malay thinker to bring Malaysia into a modern advance country. I hope many Malay can emulate him. He can be the true leader for ALL
I admire you so much Professor You have analized and spoke well on so many things🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I enjoy this podcast because it reflects everything happening in Malaysia. Ramanujan is the man who understands infinity, and Prof. Tajuddin is the man who knows how to expose lies in Malaysia. Please invite him more often, as surely many are enjoying these mind-opening views.
1:07:54 when he said "The young doesn't know a damn thing" i agree with him even as an 18 year old. I noticed that our education system is bad even when i was 10 years old.
Listening to Prof Tajuddin has increased my knowledge and widened my outlook on many things. Thank you, Prof.
Prof tajuddin are the best thinkers..👍👍👍👍
From SARAWAK,we like him,im not malay, ISLAM but we always respect him, although he make him self like (TADIKA) but his ILMU is pure ISLAM because he is talking peace,not like politicians talking about Race and Religion very Racist
Thank GOD he is from the golden era of MALAYSIA.
HIS SCHOOL OF THOUGHTS ON VARIOUS ASPECTS. ON RELIGIOUS CUM POLITICS SHOULD BE UNDERSTOOD WELL IN THE NAME OF UNITY IN DIVERSITY. PROF TAJUDDIN'S VALUABLE CONTRIBUTION OF IDEAS BE WELL ASSIMILATED AND ADOPTED BY ALL POLITICIANS ON A MODERATE SCALE MADE APPLICABLE.
True Malaysian, truly Muslim. I love this professor. ❤From non Muslim bumiputra Sarawak.
I admire and have high respect of Malaysians such as Prof. Tazuddin. Thank you Prof. God bless🙏🙏❤❤.
I never found anybody to admire in Malaysia. Now I found one.
Me too ....
I can watch all he's videos over n over ..
We r very Proud of u our dear prof TAJJUDIN I love to watch yr speech geñuine talk MALAYSIAN INDIAN HINDU PARVATHI MAY GOD BLESS U SIR PROF TAJUDDIN TQ
I always like to read your messages, and I often wanted to know how you're not in politic. If ever you are in ,surely all Malaysians will vote for you, and today Malaysia would be very great.Keep up your speeches all the time. 👍💪👏
Kudos Prof. You are a true Malaysian and a good human being. We need more people like you to build our beautiful country. May God bless you and all your loved ones with long, healthy and prosperous lives. ❤
No he is not.
A real Muslim who is learned and speaks his mind very fairly.I just hope there are more Muslims like him and Malaysia can advance forward.Not caught up wasting time on silly issues on race and religion.
Correct
Thanks Prof Tajuddin👍👍👍
Its' not a big deal, but I graduated from the University of Wisconsin, Green Bay and was perhaps the first Malaysian Student at the University simply because I was called to help three Malay girls when they first arrived at the UWGB. I wonder if we had crossed path back then. I like his style and agree with much of his views. KUDOS!
He’s the guy I respect as A TEACHER truly. Agreed with non Muslim learnings about Malay or Islam, that’s just knowledge. The same from others as well.
Had read his articles for years, but unfortunately for some of us, his views are not quite shared by Malay Muslims at large. kind of admire him, a academician fighting a losing battle while being vilify by his own community
Salam Professor.
These are universal problems.
You are graciously letting your thoughts flow out freely and openly as a Muslim.
It will be interesting though to hear from the other sides, but unfortunately not much is heard from them about why they view things as it is, how do they arrive at their conclusions, or have they given enough thought about the feelings of the majority other side about their views regarding the situation and their positioning.
This shall lead to a huge discussion.
By the way there is no such thing as a liberal Muslim.
A Muslim is a Muslim.
There are of course misfits and the misguided in Islam and in all other religions for that matter.
An accurate analysis would have to take into consideration and the account of history, numbers, circumstances, political expediency, taking advantage of situations, greed for wealth and power, primordial feelings, dynamics of race relations, superiority uppity complex, opportunism, herd instinct and other factors.
And of course stupid irresponsible leaders.
Undoubtedly the main cause of all these issues around the world is the insatiable self-centered greed of man.
Just look around, it’s an incurable disease.
If only we have more Malay educators and leaders like you, our country will progress better and people of all races can live harmoniously.
Malaysia is the only country in the WORLD that allows full time vernacular schools?
Is this true?
Is this good sound policy in governing a multi-racial society?
Will this education “freedom” assuredly cement good relationship between the various tribes in the long run.
Think long long and hard hard at the realities and answer please.
Any bright sparks with brilliant suggestions that have been missed out.
Nearer home, nothing is more uplifting than to hear Indonesians of all tribes conversing in their Bahasa Indonesia happily with gusto and pride in every nook and corner of the world.
Their “educators” must have got it right.
A real person of religion; yet his speech is tempered with reason and respect for all .
Really admired and salute Prof. Tajuddin's for his taught and wisdoms. Great Malaysian academician and PMX can appointed him to become senator and hold an important post like Menteri Perpaduan or Pendidikan for Madani government.
I don't think the term "liberal" is the correct term for Professor Tajuddin's religious belief and approach to religion. He is a TRUE Muslim,
Agreed!
Shame few are like him in Msia nowadays.
Oh boy.
Please dont go down that path on who is a true muslim.
Not only is it very damaging and toxic, you will loose to the conservatives who Prof Tajuddin isnt one.
@@theallseeingeye9388Bashar Al Assad and his father Hafez Al Assad are true Muslims as they are truly Liberal. A liberal will go to war liberally.
@@theallseeingeye9388even if u don’t go down that road. The fact that he speaks good English they already write him off. Not to mention studied in America, not bothered being labelled liberal and progressive. They write him off even before understanding his msg
Agree, he is a true Muslim. He is one who understands his religion and practises it as he sees it suitable in a multiracial societal setting that is Malaysia . He is not one of those who only sees his point of view as the only one which everyone should accept. He is adaptable and emphatetic of other Malaysians of different creed and faiths. He voices the concerns of us ordinary Malaysians.He is a true Malaysian which we had many in those earlier years of our nationhood. But alas, not now.
Fantastic! 1 of a genuine podcast with a guest and it's an mind opener. Loved the history subject and political narratives.
Well done Prof Tajuddin
Malaysia loves a soul like you prof ❤
Thank you
This guy is a rare breed. Listen to his msg. Many will name call but they will not be able to argue his points with facts
True Muslim
Religious Freedom is the solution to avoid, counter Extremism
I wonder where he was all this time. If he comes out 10 or 15 yrs back, many youth people have a better mindset now. Let him give all his ideas for us to pick up.
He's a proper gem among Malay coals.
A genuine professor who speaks his mind for the betterment of Malaysia.
We respect each individual. Malaysia is a multicultural nation. Hence the freedom in religious belief and practising own culture is covered in our Federal Constitution. Our education is basically secular in substance. While we respect all religions, I think it's up to individual to adopt or follow. Any religion should make a person good. You can't have a good religion to produce so many bad people. Good religion won't instigate people to kill or/and decimate non believers. Suppressing others for own advantage is never a good teaching or practice.
Freedom, is an important keyword in all aspects of life. In academic world, the word freedom accelerate the thinking capacity. Love Prof’s insights on FREEDOM.
Terimah kaseh, Prof/Dr Mohd Tajuddin. You're absolutely right in your observation about education. Education is a process. The result of the process depends on the "quality" of the input to the process. Otherwise, it's GIGO - "Garbage In, Garbage Out." Malaysia certainly needs more people like you. On the subject of "religion", you might perhaps like to encourage more Malaysians (Muslims and non-Muslims alike) to read an enlightening poem "Abou Ben Adhem", written by a 19th century English poet, Leigh Hunt.
Educate and instil in the children good behaviour and manner and integrity. Professing to adhere to a religion should have made a person to be a kind, compassionate and benevolent person. Lying is wrong, cheating is wrong, hurting others is wrong and murdering is wrong; in religion these are sins. Having said this, Malaysians should be the model citizens for other nations to emulate.
Discriminate based on race is commendable too
Malaysia just need to go back in being the original Malaysia. Tunku affirmed Malaysia is a secular, progressive and multi-racial country.
Prof Tajuddin is the best true Malaysian Muslim that I always love listening to, high respects to you, Prof, God bless you ❤, hope to see you as the Minister of Education ❤
Malaysia just need to go back in being the original Malaysia. Tunku affirmed Malaysia is a secular, progressive and multi-racial country.
Wish more Muslims are as open minded as him or have d courage to speak d truth as he does without fear or favour. He is truly a voice in d wilderness. God bless him! ❤
when you said open mind what did u meant? i am a muslim and we have the same mindset. if u read on the golden age of Islam we are going back to that.
but if we use the word we are going back to the caliphate many people gonna freak out. 😅.
to many misinformation. if people know and see the benefits vs democracy today people gonna pack their bags to join the caliphate.
when i said we, the educated and well read Muslims. but as usual the majority don't care above making money and paying the bills.
democracy with people who didn't care are a disaster.
Just curious, which part of the Paris Olympic opening ceremony had promoted LGBT?
@@kimilo7439 i think the last supper reenactment.
I agree with Prof regarding the Islamic Education in Malaysia. There is a dearth of understanding how Islam plays a role as a faith in a multicultural country and how Islam is. There's a big emphasis on Sirah and Ibadah and but not enough on Fiqh, Akhlak and Aqidah.
Asal bukan PN. They're extreme, useless, intolerant and belong to the stone age.
Brilliant ! Taj is so uniquely brilliant !
That’s according to your yardstick, unfortunately.
Hope Malaysia can have more professors like Professor Tajuddin. A very interesting podcast. Well done & salute you sir. God bless....😮
Well said Professor
KJ is only interested in KJ...spot on!!!
Please Become Malaysia Next PM - I will Vote You. Change the Education System for Future - Give everybody free education no matter who there are. Make sure next generation all Malaysian Kids is Educated well verse in English so they can compete with outer world. Just see how INDIA is progressively and put Education is 1st priority as they want each and every kids to gain education for entire New Generation.
I salute professor Tajuddin
It seems almost everyone here acknowledge that the professor is a true muslim...then he is the true muslim,great understanding...
Except that most of them is non muslim!??Non muslim accept him as true muslim.The dear Prof must be very proud!
I agree.. Seriously.. Just because he support the non Muslims point of view doesn't mean that he's at the right path
@@abrahmansallehuddin4288 that’s y the country so backward, most of the personal stay in their own shell, plus the supremacy of race & religious belief.
How far forward you want this country go? Like Singapore or as far as France or Denmark?You have to understand as much as u don't agree the fact is this is 70% Muslim country not like Singapore or France.Historically you should already know this region is called the Malay peninsula. Thus its fair that Malay & Muslim is the dominant figure here. Where is the so called Malay or Muslim supremacy,when you can see all the Chinese/Indian business,the religious worshipping place or high class residential with mostly Chinese owner. Look at those bars and posh restaurants that you can indulge with whatever drinks you want. We never ask you to stop eating pork or drink alcohol. Eat as much as you want...but there must be the line. Line of respect..respect us as fellow countryman where you must understand our needs to. Never try to assume that u understand Muslim more than Muslim does.A Muslim ideas that comply to your needs doesn't mean he is a good Muslim.A good Muslim comply to his god orders and respect all human being
@@abrahmansallehuddin4288 lol …… when someone pretends to sleep u can’t wake them up, so no point to further the discussion. Stay at the myth created by ppl, feel great with it, use the name of god, but not from the god. Not even the god can understand this kind of followers. May the mighty god show them their truth path.
Agreed to disagree in certain areas but overall Pro did a excellent job..
I’m a Malaysian living in US and I meet a lot of Muslim from around the world and 99% are all liberal and progressive.. most of them are imam and religious leaders from Africa and Middle eastern and center Asia. Only in Malaysia Muslim has this tempurung mentality. Syabas Prof as always..much respect to you..hope Malaysian Muslim will wake up to this
@@denniswong5486 Tempurung mentality? Screw you. You're a freaking Taoist or Confucius, what do you know about Islam. This prof. is just a bloody secularist.
He don't even understand that in Tanah Melayu "Islam is ABOVE others, not one Among others, let alone First Among Equals." This prof. may even agree to a non Muslim as PM of this country.
The word is MORAL. If everybody have high standard of morality, a lot of these problems would be eliminated. Editing and sensoring are two different thing.
Modern , progressive and intellectual… the non Malays and Malays need to learn from this prof
Prof. Tajuddin is so wise.
A very interesting and informative and also inspiring interview, giving us a clear idea about the philosophy of religions and it's now how you can absorb the inner meaning of all religions are leading us to the ultimate truth that is God is One ,I appreciate this professor in revealing the truth courageously, till now I never miss his articles in the star paper,I wish the youngsters will be eager to read and make the best of this birth as being born in this country with many races and religions.
Thank GOD he is from a the golden era of MALAYSIA.WE should go back to the mindset of those era.
Malaysia just need to go back in being the original Malaysia. Tunku affirmed Malaysia is a secular, progressive and multi-racial country.
@@balasubramaniamrengiah7604 do find out why prof Yasir Qhadi's comments that the standard narratives have holes.
Hope more professors like him will come out to speak the truth on anything that has gone bad or not right or need to be corrected esp.for those conservative and those who are extreme in ideas and thoughts. Many are becoming more racist and religious extreme maybe due to the education and restricted enviroment they are expose. Tis is one of the most dangerous things Msian is facing/ becoming other than crimes.
There's no question that there should be more people like Tajuddin who espouses pursue of truth. For truth to prevail in any subject or belief there should be no compulsion as imposing compulsion is fear of unveiling truth as rightly pointed out here. Should have more podcast (and open discussion) like this.
Prof Tajuddin is a true Muslim
Prof Tajuddin is a old Muslim
I am 57yo. I am a progressive liberal malay. But my daughter is way ahead of me liberally that I just shake my head.
Salute!
Our education system needs a revamp starting from the lowest, kindergarten.
I agree with the majority of what Prof Tajudin shared here.
At the same time Prof should learn some humility in expressing his opinions. There's a strong hint of intellectual arrogance in his words.
One can never change another person's way of thinking if one choose the way of humiliating and belittling the other's intellect.
And it's an irony, since Prof preach so passionately about humility in understanding and practising one's religion
Having said that, i really hope more moderate and enlightened muslims wud be given air time in popular podcast like yours
What I learned since young that the Malay don’t take criticism lightly. This is their culture.
What I don’t understand why learning of the math and science is being an objection. I will ask what others learning is needed to support it. Like a rocket you need a launching pad.
I would ask Prof. what are Malaysia education that will create the launching pad for Malaysian. Personally I would keep religion as a personal choice and only distill out what is good for a personal wellbeing from all corners and make it Malaysian. This is what I personally feel there is a lacking from Prof.
That guy has always got an agenda for what he says or does. You know who I mean as I also listen to that podcast. As always I enjoy the Prof for what he says not because he says good things but more like a sensible and well learned person.
Terbaik🎉

People often times misunderstood liberal and neoliberal, the economic woes we endure today originated from neoliberalism, US under Reagan started loosening control & regulation on corporate, since then nations all around the world have been emulating corporate friendly policies, resulting hunting for the cheapest labor the world can offer, destroying labor right all over the world, including the phenomenon we saw on our education, masuk universiti untuk grad dan jadi cork in the machine.
Religious practice has to be guided . Religious institutions are there to provide guidance for the followers. Intellectual discourse and understanding about religion depends on the intellectual capacity of followers which is subjected to the preachers inundation and the upbringing of the family.
While this mindset should be the norm for a progressive society, it is the exception. That is the reason for regression and the extremism mindset that is the norm today.
Malaysia will grow to have more Muslim way of thinking like him, wake up those temburong Muslim, should learn and follow his way of life.
Pl appoint Prof Tajuddin as minister of Education. It will certainly be a step in the right direction.
bro, next time adjust brightness lighting atau defuse letak kain putih atau bounce kan lighting tu ke dinding/syiling...berkilat sgt kulit speakers...
@@hendramusonif89 thanks bro
Thank you Sir ☕👍👌
Bro your interview with prof tajuddin the best i watched so far...hats off ❤
Highly respect 🎉
Di dalam Islam tidak ada istilah "Liberal". Kita ada keterbukaan yang di unjurkan Nabi Mohamad saw.
Terbaik
There is no antidote for ego and greed, incurable diseases of mankind since the beginning of time. Most are elevating themselves as experts giving their two cents worth and capricious opinions, unfortunately. Good luck to all in your individual search for the meaning of existence and the understanding of what’s going on around you.
Agree
Very nice to listen prof
Worth listening
Importantly, the gd Professor is a REAL person who thinks, deduces and having the conscience to speak out what's wrong in Msia.
Prof kena cakap dalam Bahasa Malaysia so that the Malays boleh faham Sir. It's very important for them to understand the issue.
Insan bijak sebegini sepatutnya memimpin negara tapi politik negara berpincang kaum dan agama 'menghalang' beribu bijak pandai seperti beliau 'dibekukan'. Pandangan bernas dianggap pengkhinat.
Basically he’s saying UMNO, PAS, PN has no ideas. And PKR, DAP, Amanah is progressive. He talks about other people having personal agendas. I guess he also has to share his.
Correct.
As a non muslim I will attest all politicians and parties have their own agenda.
Basically,PH paid barua
of coz , just like the ex minister podcast
1 billion RM allocated for the religion
Malaysia just need to go back in being the original Malaysia. Tunku affirmed Malaysia is a secular, progressive and multi-racial country.
Prof you are down to earth and a reflection of a simpleton which the nation welcomes you as a learned Muslim par excellence... Could be the nation's new direction be embarked with you taking the lead for the Malaysian dream to come true
The important issue is not to use a so called " liberal" to represent an example of an individual belonging to a system of politics, suppression and usurpation as a sop to the disenfranchised.
When a non-muslim and a so-called progressive professor with some knowledge of Islam get together, this is what we get.. a continuous syok sendiri monologue. No one is there to challenge their flaw ideologies..
