BIRTH OF A NEW MALAYSIA?

MALAYSIANS .. you fight too much
over the control of states and over money and power ...
would you one day be happy is all the states be equally divided into ideologically different "mini-states" people can choose to become sub-citizens of ? ...

islamic state,

socialist state,
corporatist state,
agricultural state,
industrial state
traditionally-romantic state
primitive state
secular state,
mildly-secular state,
all-malay state,
christian-state,
same-sex-married-couples state,
gambling-alcohol permitted state,
atheistic state,
truly mixed races state,
almost communist state
all citizens catatonic state
.. etc. ..

all in equal standing and
given equal funding as "political proof of concepts" of a workable multi-variant democracy ... ?
would this work? .. who should govern this new republic of transculturalism and virtue ... and which state would you prefer to live in ... ? -- azly rahman

Those in power are basically creating a culture of exclusivity. Either you're with us or you're not. Most developed societies are building one for inclusion of diversity and embracing all. For e.g. renowned universities worldwide embrace a diversify student and research based policy whereas in Malaysia we create policy of exclusion.
