Assalamualaikum and Ramadan Kareem, As we embark on the blessed month of Ramadan, I extend heartfelt wishes for peace, prosperity, and blessings to you and your loved ones. Ramadan for me is a month of reflection and awareness. As I focus less on fuelling my body, it is my mind that I turn to for deep reflection, awareness, and insights. Often, it is in these moments that my mind is at its sharpest, enabling me to obtain the clarity needed to make important decisions. From my travels and studies abroad, I’ve had the experience of celebrating Ramadan in other lands, yet, it is Malaysia that warms the heart during this holy month. Being an inclusive, multicultural country, Malaysia naturally gets everyone excited and involved in the Ramadan festivities, regardless of race and religion. Some of the Ramadan experiences that only happen once a year during Ramadan are: - iftar buffets at hotels serving local and international spreads - open-air iftar picnics by the lakeside or at popular mosques - Ramadan bazaars and Eid bazaars for a spot of shopping - spiritual talks and retreats by local and international religious scholars organised by mosque and religious centres - taraweeh prayers throughout the country led by renowned imams - social-responsibility activities such as iftar food preparation for marginalised communities While these Ramadan experiences may seem normal to us Malaysians, it’s really something unique that some Muslims may not be able to experience in their own country. Meanwhile, for non-Muslims, these activities provide some exposure and understanding about the Muslim faith. So, let’s seize the opportunities presented by Malaysia's unique Ramadan celebrations. Together, we can create unforgettable experiences that resonate with the spirit of this holy month, and do our part to ensure the continuity of tourism businesses during Ramadan!

#BuddhaJayanti Buddha's teachings, or Dharma, focus on the following key principles: 1. The Four Noble Truths. Recognize that life involves suffering (Dukkha), understand its cause (craving), realize it can end, and follow the path to its cessation (the Eightfold Path). 2. The Noble Eightfold Path. A practical guide to ethical and mental development comprising Right Understanding, Intention, Speech, Action, Livelihood, Effort, Mindfulness, and Concentration. 3. The Three Marks of Existence. Life is characterized by impermanence (Anicca), suffering (Dukkha), and the absence of a permanent self (Anatta). 4. The Five Precepts. Ethical guidelines to avoid killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, lying, and intoxicants. 5. The Middle Way. A balanced approach to life, avoiding extremes of indulgence and self-denial. We humans find it so difficult to carve our way out of all the illusions and hypocrisy in this world.

#politics Nikki Haley, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, in her talk at the Hudson Institute in Washington, D.C. told the audience the UN, an institution founded by the United States and the United Kingdom after World War II, to supersede the League of Nations after World War I, is ineffective. The world, United Nations, and international law since the Iraq War waged by the United States and George W. Bush’s coalition of the willing in 2003 is at another Wilsonian League of Nations moment in history. I have had a long brush with the UN in my career. Haley is correct as to the UN’s ineffectiveness, besides of course its elitism, for the following reason. United Nations is not a world government. Most UN staff and leaders themselves do not understand this. They think a world government is needed and the UN is that. This is why the UN is not effective. A world government is not needed. UN is a forum to make and carry out the due processes of international law which then must be ratified by sovereign individual member country governments for the international laws to be effective. UN is akin to a global commons or a global legislature, and a global judiciary. The global executive is still the sovereign member nation. No sovereign member nation ever needs to give up its sovereignty to be a UN member. The UN does not need a military of its own. To execute, for example, the judgment of the UN judiciary such as the International Criminal Court (ICC) at The Hague, judgments under international law similar to judgments by domestic court systems in any country, the world needs a coordinated global law enforcement mechanism which works with the domestic law enforcement mechanisms of its sovereign members. If any signatory member country citizens violate international law, the violators of the law must be held accountable to execute the sentence as in any domestic judiciary and law enforcement. If countries do not like this but like to think invading their neighbor or a world war or a nuclear war is a legal right under international law and not not waging war but dialog to resolve conflicts, then it is akin to saying I am going to steal my neighbor’s house and wife as my legal right when she does not want to leave her husband of her free will for me. Isn’t this all of military history in large measure? Share the spoils of pillage and rape with the muscle power of the strong man? Then every pretty woman on earth would be a part of Elon Musk’s and Arnie’s harem even when her heart is with her Romeo. Anglo-American world order says to the woman “stay with your Romeo in marriage but also be my mistress and bear my children too.” Russian world order wants to primitively steal the neighbor’s house and wife and kill the children. Both are coercive to the woman in question. Nobody is asking her what she prefers or giving her marriage and family counseling. War, military and economic, is tribalism. The point is civilization.

As someone who hails from India and now proudly calls the UAE my home, I've been deeply moved by the rich culture here. The parallels between Indian and Emirati cultures have been a constant source of fascination for me, especially during the sacred month of Ramadan. Ramadan, to me, represents a unique chance for spiritual renewal and self-improvement. It's a period for recalibration, for deep self-reflection, and for cultivating gratitude. It teaches us the beauty of being humble servants to humanity. Moreover, it's an ideal time for goal setting, refining our purpose, and rejuvenating our spirits to embark on our journeys with renewed energy and determination. I've observed that Ramadan is a period when many draw closer to a higher power through self-introspection, disciplined living, and both mental and physical fasting. This annual opportunity allows for a profound connection not just with oneself but with the community at large. Sharing experiences and lessons with those who observe Ramadan has enriched my understanding and respect for this holy month. It's a time that emphasises the importance of discipline, reflection, and the pursuit of a meaningful, purpose-driven Life. As we enter this blessed month, I wish everyone a peaceful and reflective Ramadan. May this time bring you closer to your spiritual goals and strengthen the bonds of community and shared humanity. #culture #gratitude #happiness #LinkedInCreators #RamadanGrowth #LinkedInNewsMiddleEast #UAE
