  • This is a lecture that I gave at UKM on the 21st of May 2024. As the session was NOT recorded, I have done a new video talking about the issues of that day and explaining the same slides. The talk calls for a total revamp of academics' KPI in order to reset the country to change because our politicians are either trapped or uninterested to change while our religious clerics divide our communities into enemies of each other. Coupled with an uncontrolled media and social media we are all heading for certain destruction if some things do not change.

    All Malaysians please listen to this speech of professor Tajuddin.
    The current harapan government especially should do so.

    Prof, I am impressed that you quoted one of Ajahn Bramn's famous sayings, on Wesak Day no less. You are indeed very learned and open minded. Huge respect to you.

    Professor Tajuddin mentioned the word COMPASSION quite a few times.
    Compassion is what we all must possess and execute.
    Thanks for your endless enthusiasm for giving so many speeches which no one had ever done in Malaysian history.

      Agreed... Our PMX also frequently stresses on compassion & empathy... The lack of empathy, the display of high levels of entitlement, increasing display of contempt/hate & grandiosity are all clear narcissistic/Psychopathic traits 😅

    I feel the universities in Malaysia are not the same as the ones abroad because our education have not been revamped in libe with the current education standards overseas. I have long been giving my opinion & suggestion to revamp the education but have fallen on deaf ears. I hope the current education minister & minister of higher learning institutions will buck up to make changes to our education. Let's start somewhere or it will be left unattended. Implementing English as the medium of instruction must be initiated because English is universally spoken & most reference books are written in English. Speaking English does not make us any less being not be speaking in our mother tongue. Please accept English as a language to obtain knowledge & be a learned person. Let's pray that our education be changed to having English as the medium of instruction.

      I had expected that when the Malays attain middle class status they will be more open minded.
      Alas, it's not gonna happen.

    With all due respect Professor..
    The elephant in the room is the education policy.
    When education policy for tertiary education does not respect meritocracy but cater to a particular community only.
    How can there be integration and respect between races.
    Racism in the name of social contract is the highest form of corruption in tertiary institutions.
    Breeding ground for generations of racist.
    As long as meritocracy is not respected humanity is not respected.

    If the Head of the University is not a good example but tells the students to do something and encourageing the students don't you think he shouldn't be dismissed immediately so that the other Universities don't do the same.

    We have 3R's that should not be argued about. And then at least 2 of them are tearing the future apart.
    The facts are that race does exist other than as a term used to differentiate groups. For example town people (=smart) from kampong (=stupid) or Arabs (good) from Jews (evil).
    The fact is that town people come from the kampong and both Jews and Arabs are Abrahams children.
    The fact is that we (homo sapiens) all come from a place in africa as a result of incorrectly transferred genes. Chinese, matsalehs, Indians,, Jews, all have the same ancestor.
    Races like neanderthals and java man are no more.
    As far as the 2nd R it belongs to the private sector and should stay so. Nobody discusses private issues publicly, nobody will talk about the shape of their nose or crooked teeth.
    So why is the choice of socks such an issue. It is of no importance at all, can be ugly, have holes or even smelly. But should an unsightly sock tear the country apart? Trow away the sock or look the other way.
    I would think the 3R's should temporary be totally removed from the political the sphere until society has grown up to handle the issues.

    I don't understand why are people so angry over a small issues but when a issue is big it's swept away under the carpet which l am seeing the reasonly.

    Isn't it heart breaking and sad that we are cultivating young people to such extend. For someone having obtain high education but only can follow without ability to analyse their surroundings properly plus without knowledge about general things like tax-payers hard earner thats giving them all their privileges & not something from the sky.

    Philosophy of education of Malaysia is JERI (Jasmani, Emosi, Rohani dan Intelek). This video really emphasizes the rohani (spirituality). Among nonmhslim students, rohani is taught in Pendidikan Moral. In some universities, students of technical courses are required to.attend one of humanity courses but no exam.

    There are 35 Surah that has the word Kitāb before the 1 0th ayat.
    Most of them (29 surah) has the word Kitāb before the 5th ayat.
    Kitāb - 35
    Kitāba - 9
    Kitābi - 20
    Kitābu - 6
    I might miss a few.
    Notification of education activity with existence by future, by present and by past, kitāba/i/u respectively.
    This book emphasises the importance of Education.
    In line with the function Q(Al Qurān) knowledge.

    Well Tuan Taj (😇), the Al Qur'ān explains most things but encoded.
    We have to decode what's authored by The One with the keys we've shared.
    What is in a name?
    Excellent videos Tuan.
    Semoga Allāh memurah kan rezeki Tuan dan mereka yang bersama Tuan.
