Chapter 3: Application In Malaysia

Good community who know his strength is then reinforced, and realize his weakness,
and improved with sincere, honest, assertive and bold. The actual quality of the
development of a nation depends on the quality of individual and community self-
development as well as the effects of the abandonment of the other community and
environment. These effects are not only limited to physical, perhaps more should
include the morality of mankind.
Indeed step towards improve a madani society requires a good understanding and
cooperation. roblems faced by the society can only be overcome through patience
and an open mind. Therefore, openness in accepting religious diversity and thought,
the government!s stance in relation to the people and the e"istence of a culture of
knowledge and mutual help is the key towards the formation of a madani society. The
foundations of a society are how the formation and implementation of the law is
implemented. #ccording to ound $%&'%(,
The purpose of the law is to meet as many people and in this regard the law attempts to
reduce conflicts caused by conflicts and conflicts of interest. The law also seeks to
standardize the purpose, requirements, and demands of individuals and society

In confronting the diversity of the practice of religion, thought and belief of the legal
framework designed to celebrate this diversity. 7ne of the important things that
should be looked into is to give space to each individual or group of people to e"press
their views or their votes in accepting his rights as a citizen. To compensate for this,
then )alaysia has set aside the law to provide a space for them, and is based on the
constitutional )alaysia1

Therefore, people in )alaysia have the space and opportunity to e"press their views
and ideas, whether to give a new or state to state shortfall incurred by the government.

the opportunity to have the values and ethics that must be understood and complied
with by each community. #ccording to #ishah $'44&(1

of prevention and procedures to be followed. In addition to the rights granted freedom, but the
law also protects the right of self-respect and personal

The test of a society!s success must be the inner assurance of the individual that he or
she can practice and profess his or her own faith and culture without insecurity or fear.
To earn the confidence of the minority groups, living side by side with the larger
ma<ority, hardly fails to pose the challenge. This challenge cannot be met without
establishing and maintaining a secure social environment and good governance

In this regard, we can see that )alaysia, the items are described and included in the

#s a result of this practice is the narrow re<ection of democracy, namely the concept
of the dictator and close the space for those who have a different view. The practices
should be more open and pluralistic like mass media and newspaper. Thus, freedom of

of the constitution

It is more important is the emergence of the idea of madani society making room for
diversity of political and social views. The diversity of people in this country claims a
relationship between the non-cross national requirement and merely a moral and
religious need. Thus, the nature of the dignity of humanity should be understood and
practiced by communities in )alaysia. #ccording to #nwar Ibrahim $'44,(1

Therefore, recommendations for the government to make an appreciation of religious
life and to be helping as national needs and not <ust limited to individuals and political

Therefore, )alaysia is a country that is supporting and democratic. Thus, each
individual is given the opportunity to choose their candidate. )ahathir had said in his

basis for the formation of democratic values by determining the policies and direction

7n top of that, should the practice of politics in )alaysia, especially for those who
are selected by the people as their representatives, should be open in receiving the
views of various parties including the government or the opposition. This is a way for
the government at a tender age, including people to be a counterweight to the
democratic system and the government in implementing the actions and follow the
development of the community. In addition, this is clearly stated by #llah in the

In developing this idea, )alaysia is a country that practices parliamentary democracy

government structure is determined by the people. In a democracy, laws are made
either by the people or through delegates, representatives chosen by the people to

Therefore, the relationship that e"ists between the government and the people to
produce a result and listen completely and balanced state. In addition, all the problems
and decisions to be implemented by the government must be based on the needs and
desires of the community. This also makes some people cannot take advantage of the
power entrusted to him, because all the actions and the implementation of a thing
must be based on the consent of all members of parliament.

In the conte"t of )alaysian society nowadays is manifest shallowness of knowledge about the
culture of non-)uslims who have been part of a multi-racial society has led to some negative
perceptions of other races and religions

Thus, mi"ing and communication in a variety of confidence, trust, way of life and this
position is a comple" life and need a basic guide to maintaining a relationship in order
to safeguard peace and stability of the state. The values of the religion of every nation
should be nurtured and practiced by society to create simplicity, tolerance,
understanding, respect, tolerance, peace and unity. The values that erupted from the
roots of tradition every race and all races are capable of creating social cohesion
strength of )alaysia.
In strengthening tolerance in )alaysia, somewhat elements should be developed to
ensure that )alaysian society is able to understand and perform this well.
Implementation of the tolerance should be seen and studied from various angles to
ensure these ideas can be implemented with care. #ccording to 3udi #nton $%&&5(1

3ased on this, several approaches have been implemented in )alaysia, for developed
e"ceptional tolerance into the community themselves. In doing this, the government
has laid the foundation of education as a foundation for understanding the formation
of the community to e"press1
Khereas the education policy as declared in the 8ducation 7rdinance, '4:, is to establish an
educational system that will meet the needs of the country and promote the development of

In addition, apart from the formation of the constitution which gives space to other
religions to practice their religion, education is the most important fundamental in
developing a good understanding of them into society. Iormation starts from how an
educational philosophy designed and implemented. This matter can be e"amined in
the philosophy of education in our country.
hilosophy of 8ducation also founded to focus on efforts to produce individuals who are
knowledgeable and ethical, balanced and harmonious, which can achieve well-being and
contribute to the betterment of the society and the nation

Therefore, openness in confronting diversity of opinion and differences of race and
religion is the prerequisite to the formation of a harmonious society. In addition,
tolerance or mutual respect within the community is a sign that society is heading to
goodness.
Culture of Knowledge

problems that occur between people as well can be solved and communicate well, as
something that is done must be done based on the knowledge and the right idea. #nd
this is as described by Kan )ohd ?or $'44,(1
In addition, if this is carried out properly, then the community is able to re<ect and resent the
views that are not based on knowledge and truth, without regard to race, ethnicity and
religion
-&
.
Thus, the e"istence culture of knowledge in )alaysia should, be an agenda on the rest
of society in all layers. This is critical because society built on areas of knowledge and
a good idea, a society that is able to develop and educate the community to face many
obstacles and problems. In addition, the most important thing is all the development
and cultural beliefs, particularly matters affecting religious sensitivities or other
nations could be resolved amicably.
3ased on the interest and appreciation of science, )alaysia has put several programs
and important element in creating a society that truly appreciates the culture of
knowledge. This is formed by two main elements, such as a reading culture as the
theme for )alaysians and also the formation of the university as a center of
knowledge.
In '455, former rime )inister )ahathir )ohammad has put the theme of the L=ear
of GeadingM. In addition, in con<unction with the teacher in the same year, the theme
chosen is LIounding Teacher Geading *ultureM. In addition, the )inister of =outh and
>ports also puts theme L=outh Enowledge 2eveloped *ountriesM as the theme for the
youth during the year
-'
.
It showed that people in )alaysia are aware of the appreciation and participation in
the implementation culture of knowledge. In addition, this thing done is to create a
system of informal learning, educating the community to continually review and
