You are absolutely right, 'che Mariam! It's truly the responsibility of the unity government to right the wrongs created by the extremes! However, they are sitting on the fence for fear of offending the radical malays!

You are a clear and sobering voice that cuts through this cacophony of hate, greed and misogyny. Thank you Mariam

Place the blame on the politicians who have vandalised our education systems. We never had such problems when I was growing up in the sixties. My best friends were Muslim Malays and we ate, played and socialise together. Then Dr Mahathir and his brand of politics came into our lives and everything changed. Anwar could be the change we need but I am not holding my breath for that to happen. Despite all the support he has received, he has done little to prove that he is ‘messiah’ that we were waiting for. Perhaps he needs a much stronger base before he can really affect changes. That is my earnest prayer now.

Thank you for reminding us the true value of Malaysia that we need to uphold.

Sangat setuju dengan Puan Mariam, rakyat biasa yang selalu diambil tindakan tapi yang kaya2 boleh lepas begitu saja! Adil ke? 🤔

SETUJU=rakyat miskin sentiasa mudah " dihukum " oleh pihak & manusia BERKUASA...

Thank you for speaking out for all citizens. You speak wisely with courage and conviction, all truths, no compromise . May God continue to bless you with good health and long life . Thank you for being our voice.

You can't expect the Unity Government to change Malay mindset regarding religion instantly or in the short term after they had been brainwashed for decades. It's good enough that the UG is moving in the right direction. Let's support their efforts to bring positive changes.

An intellect, a brave voice, an activist for a better country - TQ for years of courageously making educative videos - Our Regards from Borneo Sabah & May you and family and support Team be blessed Always ✌🌏🙌

My father was in the police force and living in the quarters made us a part of a close knit community. Does this exist now or was it left behind in the last century? Even natural disasters don't seem to have changed the mindset. Do the narrow-minded believe their ancestors are all in hell because they didn't follow the present way of life?

Thank you for explaining. I'm unaware of many things happened in Malaysia. Once again thank you.

Person like you are open minded and talking the true

LIBERAL MELAYU BENCI KEHIDUPAN FANATIK YANG MUNDUR DAN KETINGGALAN ZAMAN,,,,,SEBAB MEREKA INGIN HIDUP BEBAS SEPERTI KAUM LAIN DAN MAJU DALAM KEHIDUPAN MEREKA,,,,,PEACE FOREVER

Always so refreshing to listen to your views.

Mariam, I still don’t believe there is a person like you who dares to speak your mind about Muslim Malays. There is nothing wrong with malay muslim. Infact I have great respect for them. Just don’t impose your religion upon others. Anyway I have a tremendous admiration for you. It takes guts to say what you say. 😊

Well said Mariam,hope things will change for the better.

I was once blamed for bringing in non-halal to reheat in the office pantry. She silently goes behind and puts all possible blame on me. When I knew I couldn't produce the fish bone for the HRD to see what I ate that day. This culture is still happening daily and everywhere. She is so young and behaves like this, what else she doesn't dare? A toxic environment is not a healthy relationship. All carry fake 🤥 how to address as colleagues and work as a team?

Thank you Mariam! We all, our country, need you.

Thank you che Mariam for your brave soft spoken words God bless and guide you always❤

Marian u are a great teacher❤

So very very very true! That's why we are leaving tanah air tercinta...

Kakak… thank you for your amazing video but please stay safe… words have so much power that it may end up hurting oneself… I pray for you kakak… again…. Thank you …

Thank You Madam,for enlighting us God Bless

It goes without saying that extremism will impact on Malaysian society regardless of religious following. Kamal Attaturk realised the danger of religious extremism and thus proclaimed Turkiye as a secular state and not favoured Islam due to Christians living in its midst. Politics without religion is already a potent mix and to add race, religion and royalty into it will be a deadly brew as Malaysians are finding it out. Alas it will be the millstone around the neck of Malaysia forever more. Sad and unless we want to live free of the 3Rs, we will be a victim of it.

None of the religious teaching put food on the table. Only by working hard and smart support my family and contribute to the country.

Dear Mariam,TQ for all d yrs.of efforts making ur.vids. U like Siti K n other like-minded folkd voice out what nons can't say outright or in d public domain. U nailed it in dis vid.abt.malays (esp female) being victim of extremisms. I believe many nons r aware n empathize wth.them but as stated earlier can't voice out. May u b blessed always.

I like most of your videos. It is amazing... Thank God for the wisdom which God has given you... It contant truth but only truth... ❤🙏

Why delivered this speech in English? It should be made in BM and be heard and understood by the Malays who only knew about their own race and religion and care nothing much about the welfare of their own country，not to mention about other races and religions!

Well said kak mariam ❤

Spoken with the same true impartiality, vigor and boldness, Ma'am! 👏 Of all the other things he is doing well, I do agree for this part alone DSAI shouldn't have tell the rakyat off to merely "look at secularism and understand the full meaning of the term" , coz clearly some groups in our country just can't digest big words properly, and some clever fool will just bring a bunch of apes with him/her and mindlessly protest against a term😂. Even if there is, our half-baked politicians will just vomit out the definition without themselves fully understanding the true meaning, let alone amidst 63 years of Mahathirist and Hadiist rightist extreme fanatism. So how then will secularism be fully understood without giving more and more excuses. Even the full meaning of İCERD they can't define, how much more will most politicians properly disseminate what is in secularism. And this is the problem with 64 yrs overzealous religious indoctrination and a lot don't even read their Holy books from A to Z, and yet cherry pick to suit political interests, in other words, they can just move on with life making religious hukums according to their suka Suki mak bapak, even if it is not in their Holy books. Mixing poisons will always be the answer to their excuses for not separating state from religion. What fickle mindedness can cause this attitude... 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I was in an all-Bumiputera / all Malay boarding school and remember listening to student-led religious speeches a.k.a “tazkirah”, laden with conspiracy theories of non-Islamic forces taking over the political sphere and governance of Malaysia, the content of which includes misguided understanding of concepts such as secularism. These speeches tend to be delivered in a charismatic way, unchecked and unchallenged, taken word for word by young and impressionable students!

Thank you madam 🙏🏾. Just wanted to share my own experience whilst I was in form 6. I had many Malay Muslim friends at school whom I grew up with but later early nineties they started to group together and the girls were pressured to wear hijab cos I have seen girls crying because of this. My first love was a Muslim girl and I would have married her if not for the religion bit cos I am not much of believer of higher anything

Fully agree with your view. Until the Malay themselves say enough of this BS controlling of their religion, do not expect any changes. Religion are personal matter between them and god.

Thank you for highlighting the biased lifestyle in Malaysia . I grew up in a kampung. Me and my malay friends had so much of bond in the 80s. Today my children don't understand how it was than. The subject "Tatarakyat" was for all races those days. Today it's "Pendidikan Moral" only for non Muslims. No subjects are offered in schools that teach students to respect one another be it race or religion as a citizen of Malaysia. Really sad. My Jawi teacher Cikgu Ibrahim, 38 years ago, praised me in class because I was really good in Jawi. I love all my Muslim friends and still remember them by name after 40 years. Indians, Chinese and Malays need to respect each other, this is true Malaysia! standing in the eyes of the world.

The best I have heard. Thank you🌹🌹 Puan Marian.

I support your wise views. Our faith in God causes the circumcision of our hearts. When we truly and sincerely love God we will do things that please Him. We have peace with God, the peace of God and the peace to live and accept one another . Each person has to face God and give an account of his life on earth so no matter how hard we impose laws on people without the curcumcision of our hearts laws become futile! The Unity Government understands this principle , executes their commitment to bring our nation to greater glory! We will always pray for our leaders that God will empower them with wisdom , protection for them and their families and good health as they serve our nation. Negaraku, tanah tumpahnya darahku. Rakyat hidup BERSATU dan MAJU!

Thanks sister for your clear explanations.

Tu sbb ahli Politaik asyik isu sentimen Perkauman dan Agama. Mudah dgn menjalankan urusan mereka dulu dan skrg.

True enough mdm...i 'vealay ladies without their tudung back in my days. Still humble nice n polite. But now they are hijabtized since baby!!! Wht wrg with religion? Whts trying to impose? They are bow more extremist than normal malays tht dont wear tudung.....n their heart as dark as it cld be

SALAM MADAM....IT'S SO TRUE REGARDING PROPERTY INHERITANCE. TEENAGERS MUST BE GIVEN SEX EDUCATION TO AVOID UNWANTED EXPECTATIONS. SO MANY VALUABLE AND GRAVE POINTS YOU HAVE HIGHLIGHTED. THANK YOU MADAM...YOU ARE HIGHLY RESPECTED.💕👍

I almost forgot about these stories.

Well said Kak Mariam❤

Please give your views in bahasa melayu. You have a great message. But it have to go to the malays. Other races are just waiting for changes. It's all up to the malays to the make the changes. We the non malays are minorities. We can't do much. The way forward is the malays. Are they ready to change and make a better future for themselves? We the so called pendatang are willing to work together but we need the malays to trust us that we will NOT be able to take over. We can never take over because we will always be the the minority. We are just waiting for the MALAYS to settle their own differences. We just like to work and and let our BELOVED country to move forward. That's the only way Malaysia to progress. Be in unity and trust one another and move the country forward. TOGETHER WE STAND AND TOGETHER WE FALL. From anak Malaysia ❤✌

Mdm.Thank you for your brave thoughts. But wonder why and where does tis extremism originates?

Melayu jadi alat dipergunakan oleh pemimpin-pemimpin sakau pn selamatkan harta mereka yang curi

I mIss zaman P Ramlee

They can believe what ever they want and keep telling what ever they want. It's their birthright I fully respect it. But world wide its waiting for the tipping point.

Love your talk, content and voice Mariam .. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ … love you .. keep up the good work …

Tq Madam. I feel all of us are affected. The muslims n non muslims because a lot of manipulation. Tq

I like to point out my opinions regarding about religion n races,,mainly religions,(religion alone cannot feed your stomach n its only teach you how to be a worthwhile human ,good manner respect others as you need to be respectful to yourself) that all about religions,what most important for political people are to see your people live wisely n comfortablely make your country move forward toward rebuilding a better future,,bukan agama semata2

How on earth is so beautiful in Bolehland if majority Malays mindsets are like what is Puan Mariam Mokhtar right thinking mind ordinary folks are.

Mariam, all issues will keep on coming and visiting us, non stop.. we can keep islam, as the official religion in malaysia, no objection on that.. but religions not suppose to penetrate into political arena.. example religious political parties, this suppose to be shut down completely. This won t bring any goodness in a multicultural malaysia.. no political religious parties, all this must be abolished.. or else there will be more blunders to come in future, just a waiting time only, but surely it will come

Che Mariam, you show great courage, but I regret that the mistakes cannot be corrected. We need only compare India vs. China. India is everything that you say of Malaysia and China is everything that is reflected in Singapore (white cat or black cat). India is the world's biggest democracy, while China remains Chinese, we don't worry about religion, ideology and China acts on what works; while India works on rules of democracy (rule by the majority However I regret that Malaysia will not change, too bad.

It is so sad in this country that some ppl just never learn....

I saw a video sharing that secularism is not separation of state n religion, secularism is a religion itself. about a year ago I think. N it further explains why etc. Since then I'm hooked on the topic in the internet lol. Videos from bookworms that share their insights on political books like the impossible state by Wael Hallaq etc. N this process kept blowing my mind as I see more sharings 🤯 but it was all mainly by foreigners, it's not up till recently that I've started looking at more sharings by in the Malaysian context about these kind of topics. Algorithm brought me to the local context finally? Idk. Well, maybe also many months ago I think I subconsciously avoid them? Idk. I've never bothered w the state as a lower class Sabahan that live amongst stateless friends. And if I saw this video maybe before I somehow found myself reading, listening on this political ideologies stuff, I would have definitely agreed w your points. But now, I can see sharings like yours in many perspectives, and some I agree and some I don't. So for now, throughout this exploration, my stance is that I see Islam as something truly transformative for a society if implemented by a just ruler ie caliphate state. I see it quite revolutionary for a belief/political system introduced/revealed 1500 years ago in a dessert - sandwiched by 2 empires at that time that didn't care about the Arabs as they were seen as savages lol, well atleast from what ive read so far la. I'm very limited. Sorry if this sounds ignorant or not correct for anyone reading, do reply if you want, and I can learn more. But I feel like... commenting, suddenly, coming from my limited and unscholarly background. When actually I don't really comment on videos or posts etc. Emm. Maybe because these topics has been lingering for these past few months and I don't have anyone in my circle that can freely talk about this. Lol offtrack. Anyway, I also don't really follow politics, however it's hard to avoid when I'm hooked on the secular word haha. So, stumbling upon your video is great, I've never known about the cases you mentioned. It just makes me think a lot. And it makes me think that Islam, for now, as a modest religion by it's essence that has Quran and Sayings and Reports of Prophet Muhammad, peace n blessings be upon him, ushers/guides the individual, the family unit and then the society to always be in moderatness, being in the middle in between the extreme right and extreme left whilst being in awe of Allah. So I appreciate really that you are sharing cases that comes from extreme enforcement of a belief ie Islam in this video. It humbles me into reflecting that I must remember not to be extreme and have to exercise scepticism on different belief systems in our society

Agree that the new unity govt should tackle the problem of religious extremism heads on. The rakyat is helpless and they can only act by voting for the parties of unity govt. The govt is the one with resources and authority to act, it is failing the rakyat if it allows religious extremism to bully everyone.

👍👍👍👍👍👍

Many hotels in Langkawi will go bankrupt if PN continues to rule in kedah... Foreign tourists will avoid the island..

Lady you speak the truth nothing but the truth.hats off to you madam.dont give up.we are always on your side.😊😊😊

Nice Pilea. ❤️❤️❤️

Dear Mariam thanks for your openness on your points. We wish there were more people like you. Let alone the education…..sad. Could you tell us more of your background. Can’t find more of your bg. Still appreciate you.

When you oppress others you oppress yourself.

Their ways is to destroy a religion & hv control on others. So sad.

Such clarity !! If only it reaches all ears and esp the ones concerned.

“When anyone studies a little or pays a little attention to the rules of Islamic government, Islamic politics, Islamic society and Islamic economy he will realize that Islam is a very political religion. Anyone who will say that religion is separate from politics is a fool; he does not know Islam or politics.” ― Ruhollah Khomeini

Agreed! Any think extreme is not good 👍 Middle path is the best.

You are right. The majority of my Malay Muslim friends in Sarawak say they are scared of religious extremism too. That's a reason why PAS can't get a strong foothold here.

Well said Mariam 🙏

Fully agreed with u Mdm..

If the Madani Leader is busy organizing Kuda Kepang shows everywhere, reformasi will remain the Colour Grey lor!! Its not going to change much because the Madani Leaders have decided that the failure of the National Education System only needs its toilet facilities to be repaired to make it all hunky-dory!!

Indeed Islam teaching is good,but l don't &wandering why super extreme world class personalities are created !War,hatreds etc like talipan to forge their perfect world living within!May be your heaven could be hell for other.

Rightly so too, as the car bombs fastened to Siti Kassim's car attest, .. and most likely you must also been harassed and your life threatened. People have been disappeared.

TRUE TRUE TRUE Muslims are coerced into conformity

🙏 Must logically study other countries' national laws & governance that based on Meritocracy & without interference or biasness by any religious precepts or ethnicity preferences that are usually produced more safe , fair & harmony governance to all ethnicities & believes in these countries & their religions are more healthier & truer to their precepts than many countries that exploited & abused religions & ethnicity differences in their prejudiced , bias & racist regimes & governance! Many innocent Muslims being prosecuted & executed by political reasons in extremist regimes in Iran , Yemen & Afghanistan! People are free to check that out for themselves ... 🙏 Thank You So Much Adm Mariam Mokhtar for your illuminations to protect the cosmopolitan Malaysia & all chilled & relax Malaysians regardless of their ethnicities , believes & social status! 🙏🕯🌷🌿🍎🍊🌍✌💜🕊🇲🇾

The DAP and Chinese play card will never be wiped out from the Malay mindsets. This is reality

Tq Mariam Mem

Hi Miss Mariam. I salute you.

Puan Mariam. Saya tidak ingin mengata apa2 pun tentang cara hidup Islam yang puan pilih. Silalah jika itu yang menggembirakan anda. Komen2 anda di youtube menunjukkan anda jenis orang yang tidak berpuas hati dengan keliling anda. Ini selalunya timbul dari minda yang tidak tenteram. NOTHING WILL satisfy you even if you have everything. Mencuba untuk memperbaiki sekitaran adalah usaha yang murni tetapi menyalahkan orang Muslim mengerjakan ibadah Islam secara sejati sebagai penyebab kepada masalah anda merupakan satu kesilapan besar. Allah mendengar walaupun sasaran anda adalah mereka yang naif. Penyokong anda orang yang naif. Muslim sejati aman dan redha dengan kekurangan yang kami ada. Doa kami sentiasa untuk kebaikan di dunia dan kebaikan di akhirat

Very good. Keep it up

Spot on Puan Mariam.....Unfortunately the new Unity Govt is trying to outdo PAS and BERSATU by being more Muslim! Just look at what's happened recently.....

I truly salute madam!

Some one like madam Mariam should inform all non muslims about the teaching of hadith and quran which are hating mindset or violence aganist non muslims. This planet belongs to all living beings and everybody wants to live their life happily

Everyone is a victim of religious extremism, or any extremism in any country at any time. Period.

very true

Its the holier than thou mind that screw the society .

Medieval time religion state is to strengthened military power. Modern society religion state is to strengthened politicians power. Because human mind is easily toy by religious concept... 🤭

Oh dear, halal lift. *smh*. But the non-halal paper money that they have yet to accept till this day? You don't see people wash their hands with sand like the book says. They are all hypocrites to the end.

Jika di Indonesia ada lembaga bernama pemberdayaan masyarakat dan pelindungan perempuan dan anak yg menangani KDRT(kekerasan dalam rumah tangga) atau sejenisnya

But some malays they dont understand it.

Who caused extremism in Islam ?? It all started by politicians to gain support !!!

I dunno what went in Anwar's mind by saying something like that. Religion extremism, in Malaysia's case I dare dub that as "Agamaku", isn't exactly making the supposed "good guys" as heroes.

PARTITION!

May I say that you are very brave?

No thanks to the too many ustaz(s) who are over qualified, very influential and forgot we're multiracial. It's a matter of "proper" interpretation & understanding bcuz Islam is b'tiful

Excellent

That’s why a handful of brave men and women prepared to stand up and speak up, to save the country from the toxic religious bigots.

I agree, especially the part about sex education. Moral education promotes biases toward issues concerning the LGBT community too.

A wise n learned malaysian

.We cannot listen what people say,we must think ourself.
