It came to my mind as an independent person that our goal as Malaysians is not to win anything. We don't want to win any war that others may provoke; we are just here in the world to study, get jobs or do business, make money, and worship and repent to God because being alive every day is a blessing to submit to God. Like what my cousin in the Malaysian military said, Malaysia is not a country at war. We have God to worship, responsibilities to maintain (family and religious teachings), and five national principles:
1. Kepercayaan kepada Tuhan
2. Kesetiaan kepada Raja dan Negara
3. Keluhuran Perlembagaan
4. Kedaulatan Undang-Undang
5. Kesopanan dan Kesusilaan
We are very Malaysian if we put in the effort and make all these principles a reality in ourselves. We're not powerful; we're Malaysians.

If we depend on other countries, it's not healthy either. We have a history with foreign entities: the British, the Japanese, and the Portuguese; they colonized us and exploited us for resources. Then, China's presence encroaches into our EEZ. Philippine politicians are claiming Sabah. It seems to me that we have no one to trust, not even ourselves. It seems to me that it's best for the government to just go with the flow, enjoy the world, maintain our stability, and engage in politics and democracy while doing what is best at the moment, including being friends with both China and the US, Australia, and the countries you mentioned. Yes, better training with them than doing nothing. We are a relatively new country, lacking in many resources, knowledge, and ideologies, and we have been exploited. The local politicians are also corrupt. We just do what we are capable of at the moment, being ourselves. #malaysia #politics #politicalscience #sabah #philippines #china #usa #australia #uk
I'm sure those people in the category you mentioned will be offended and will try to befriend me, telling me everything to brainwash me into following their identity or ideologies. I had one friend like that. They played the victim and wanted me to vote for ******n *******l. I'm glad I didn't. At that time, I was a novice in politics and I voted for anyone except what my friend requested, ******n *******l. For many reasons, I couldn't be myself with that friend; since then, we have drifted apart and are no longer friends. This is the blessing. #malaysia #politics #censorship #politicalscience #political #democracy #freedom #freedomofspeech

@raymondpert Agree, and mind you, it took the gumption of an #Australia-based academic to #critique the susceptibility of #American #presidential #elections to being gamed.
I'm still looking for useful critiques/analyses of this crucial topic emanating from researchers based in the US. Meanwhile, one wonders whether this topic, and the serious study of it, might have somehow been relegated as a "dead-end" or "career-fatal" endeavor for US-based #politicalscience academics?
Research into how #disinformation affects democracy has never been more important. But #autocrats and #populists discredit any findings that challenge their worldview. In my latest article on ECPR's The Loop I describe how #Trump is changing the rules of communication, and manipulating public discourse

Did political science get central and eastern Europe wrong?
TLDR: It did, leaning too heavily towards the power of formal institutions and the incentives of rational actors, generating an optimism bias.
Much to ponder on here
