I have a personal conflict with the rukun negara, the 'kepercayaan kepada tuhan/believe in god' part. In my IC, it says I'm a Buddhist on paper but I'm mostly agnostic. Even in Buddhist teachings, Buddha is not a God. He's a teacher that's gone to Nirvana, so he isn't around anymore. What is even harder to explain is the Malaysian Chinese tri believe of Buddhism, Taoism and folk believe. Under this tri believe there are many gods and deities under the jade emperor. This is a world where the monkey god and the Buddha exists together. So when the rukun negara says 'god', my understanding is that it's Monotheism (believe in one god) versus polytheism (believe in many gods). There is no space for atheist (tak percaya tuhan). Why did the writers of the rukun negara specifically mention kepercayaan kepada tuhan and not kepercayaan kepada agama? If the intention was to ensure one has a moral compass, atheists who are humanist are pretty nice people (most of them). Is there space for atheists and Polytheists in Malaysia? The rest of rukun negara I don't have a problem with and agree with it.











Hit me with the harshest reality truth.

I do not want to blame anyone except the Jabatan Agama Islam which allows criminals, pedophiles and abusers with records to go on and marry women. This country does not care for the fate of women and kids at all.
