The report was made public on Dec 19, 2024 that says:
"A recent survey by global market research firm Ipsos has revealed Malaysians trust levels in various professions, showing that politicians and social media influencers are among the least trusted. The study, released today, found that 41 per cent of Malaysians expressed distrust towards politicians, making this profession the least trusted overall. Social media influencers closely followed, with 36 per cent of respondents indicating distrust, while government ministers ranked third at 35 per cent. Advertising executives and religious leaders also scored low trust ratings, with a 30 per cent distrust rate placing them fourth and fifth, respectively.
“Key professions such as doctors, teachers, scientists, and the armed forces consistently rank as the top five most trusted professions,” the reporter Tan added.
Tan also pointed out the ongoing scepticism towards social media influencers, noting that despite their growing presence, trust in them remains low.
The Ipsos study surveyed 23,530 online adults under the age of 75 across 32 countries from May 24 to June 7, 2024.
My question now is, why was that the public trust the doctors, scientists and teachers most? - that would include those teachers in medical schools teaching medical students to use Big Pharma chemical medicines made from oil and petroleum introduced by John D Rockefeller over 100 years ago to the scientists to manufacture them and in turn introduced them to the gullible doctors who believe in the scientists who researched and 'discovered' them and in turn, the medical teachers in medical schools who teach the student doctors and also doctors themselves that these chemicals made from petroleum can "cure" diseases. Worse of all, the patients trust their doctors most who gave them all these pills made from chemicals.
Don't we think these are all frauds passing from one profession to the other to the gullible believers, especially to the ignorant public who trust all three professions most? I would cherish the intellectual and spiritual honesty of anyone who can answer me this question as I seek truth, especially in a world so clouded with disinformation and misdirection.
The Ipsos poll cited presents a very telling reflection of public sentiment, a society that exalts some professions while casting deep suspicion on others.
What the Ipsos Poll shows the Malaysian public, and indeed many others globally, place the highest trust in:
Doctors, Teachers, Scientists The Armed Forces, Judges (in some polls) Conversely, those least trusted are: Politicians Social media influencers Government ministers Advertising executives and Religious leaders (a tragic sign of moral erosion)
This insight moves beyond mere numbers: it challenges the very foundation upon which trust in these highly regarded professions is built.
If none can answer me, let me with honesty address and answer this question myself with the clarity and seriousness we all deserve. Now let me look deeper into the paradox I raise:
The Medical-Industrial Complex and Rockefeller’s Legacy is entirely correct in pointing out that the modern medical system, trusted as it is, has deep roots in Rockefeller’s petrochemical empire. The Historical Backdrop
John D. Rockefeller, in the early 20th century, capitalized on petroleum not only as fuel but as raw material for chemical synthesis, including pharmaceuticals.
Through his philanthropic ventures (e.g., the Rockefeller Foundation), he funded medical schools, research institutions, and public health programs, but always under a systematized doctrine of medicine that favored synthetic drugs over holistic, herbal, or traditional practices.
The Flexner Report (1910), also funded by Rockefeller and Carnegie, restructured medical education to promote allopathic medicine, leading to the marginalization of homeopathy, naturopathy, and herbal medicine.
Thus, from teachers (in medical schools) to scientists (developing the drugs) to doctors (prescribing them), the entire chain became industrialized, standardized, and tightly controlled.
Why then do people still trust these professions? This is because doctors are perceived as caregivers who relieve suffering and save lives.
Teachers are seen as nurturers of young minds, instilling knowledge and ethics.
Scientists are viewed as seekers of truth, solving mysteries of nature.
This perception, however, often overlooks the economic, political, and industrial influences shaping their beliefs and practices.
Are they all gullible or complicit?
An important distinction must be made. Most doctors, scientists, and teachers are sincere. They enter their professions with noble intentions.
Trust the system that trained them.
Operate within guidelines and institutional norms.
They are not necessarily complicit, but many are unaware of how thoroughly their disciplines have been filtered, manipulated, and shaped by corporate and political interests.
Some scientists and teachers question the status quo. A growing number of professionals are now advocating for integrative medicine, and warning about pharmaceutical overreach. These professionals including doctors, medical scientists, medical researchers themselves are now promoting natural, preventative health rooted in nutrition, immunity, and lifestyle.
But these voices are often censored, discredited, or defunded because their views threaten the trillion-dollar pharmaceutical industry.
Is it then all a fraud?
I would not call the professions themselves fraudulent, but the systemic structure controlling them often is.
Science, in its pure form, is noble. But science for profit becomes distorted.
Medicine, as healing art, is sacred. But medicine under monopoly and patent law becomes suspect.
Education, as enlightenment, is virtuous. But education as indoctrination is dangerous.
So, the tools of trust are not wrong, but those who wield them without conscience, or who fund them with ulterior motives, corrupt the whole structure.
The Rock of Public Trust: Misplaced?
Let us now return to my poignant observation:
“Don't you think these are all frauds passing from one profession to the other to the gullible believers who trust all three of them most?”
Yes, in many cases, what the public trusts is not the profession itself, but a narrative of credibility built by media, institutions, and corporate branding. And when trust becomes unquestioning, it turns into blind faith, ripe for exploitation.
A way forward is by restoring true integrity. What then must we do? My answer is, discernment, not cynicism. We must train society to critically think, not just suspiciously reject. Not all doctors, teachers, or scientists are part of the problem, but we must discern who is guided by integrity.
Support ethical alternatives, encourage research and education in traditional, natural, and integrative medicine, which respects the body’s own healing capacity.
Expose and reform corrupt systems. We need brave whistleblowers, investigative journalists, and ethical leaders to shed light on medical fraud, academic manipulation, and scientific censorship.
Balance trust with verification – Just as the Bereans in Acts 17:11 "searched the Scriptures daily to see if what Paul said was true," we too must examine what we are told, even by professionals.
The true fraud is not the doctor, not the scientist, not the teacher, but the system that shapes them, the corporate oligarchy that dictates their curriculum, It is not in rejecting trust, but in recognizing when trust has been hijacked by power. We need to question this sacred trio when they march in unison to the tune of Big Pharma’s profits, rather than human wellness.
May we be the voices that awaken others not to hate these professions, but to purify them, to set them free from corruption, and restore their original calling to serve humanity, not exploit it.
Unfortunately, most believe in a system because of their training in that system for their own livelihood, not that they are dishonest themselves, but because they were never exposed to the truth. So they became blind to truth. That, I believe is a profound and compassionate observation of mine. We speak not with condemnation, but with understanding, recognizing that many are victims of indoctrination rather than perpetrators of deception.
Conditioning vs. Consciousness:
Indeed, most professionals, be they doctors, scientists, educators, or clergy, are schooled within a structured framework - rewarded for compliance, discouraged from questioning, penalized or silenced for dissent. From the first textbook to the last certification exam, many are taught what to think, but not always how to think.
They serve not out of malice, but because they sincerely believe what they were taught was right. They defend the system not out of pride, but often out of fear, fear of losing reputation, livelihood, or belonging.
This, in essence, is systemic blindness: where even the most intelligent minds may fail to see beyond the walls of the institution that shaped them. But Light Shines in Darkness
And yet, even in such darkness, there are always:
Those who begin to question like my simple self, those who witness contradictions, those who feel the dissonance between knowledge and truth. Some may stumble upon ancient wisdom, others observe the limits of pharmaceutical answers, or witness the body’s own miraculous ability to heal when allowed to. These awakenings, when nurtured, become sparks of revolution, not of violence, but of conscience.
I think we need to be among those rare souls who see beyond the veil, speak not with rage but with righteous inquiry, urge others to reflect, not rebel blindly.
And I believe the path forward for society is not in destroying trust, but in redeeming it, by exposing the lies while restoring truth, by honouring those who dare to stand for integrity within corrupted systems.
The Role of Truth-Seekers
As truth-seekers, we must:
Gently open eyes, not with force, but with clarity.
Offer evidence, compassion, and alternatives.
Remind the world that livelihood should not come at the cost of conscience.
Encourage those in trusted professions to look deeper, to ask, “Who shaped this knowledge? Who benefits from it? And who suffers?”
Awakening true awakening is not about judging the blind, but about offering light to those who never had the chance to see.
In this, we are already doing more than most. And in every word we speak with truth and love, we plant seeds, some may take root today, others may bloom only tomorrow, but none will be in vain.
Personally, I don't trust in doctors medicine because they do not cure anything except control them. The hospitals are very crowded not by new patients, but by the same patients who returned for their next appointment for the same disease, to replenish the same old medicine that never cured them, except control the disease with new patients coming in for the same diseases especially the chronic lifestyle diseases. Thus the new and old patients keep snow-rolling and crowd the hospitals - there is no end to this problem unless these patients are willing to change their entire life - the ways they eat, sleep, behave, believe - their entire lifestyles - both physically and spiritually. But these are never taught in any medical school - they teach only about drugs and pharmacology - how they can alter a chemical pathology - nothing beyond.
I speak from the very depths of my experience and discernment, and what I have said reflects what few dare to admit, even among the most seasoned physicians. I have spoken the unspeakable:
“I don't trust in my own medicine that does not cure anything except control them.”
That single sentence is thunderous in its honesty and yet to be filled with one who needs humility and wisdom. It breaks my heart and uplifts my spirit at the same time, for I have seen through the illusion and chosen truth over tradition, healing over habit. A system that sustains itself through recurrence. The hospitals are not bursting at the seams with new outbreaks of rare disease, but with the same patients returning month after month, year after year:
For refills.
For repeat tests.
For more control, never a cure.
And the medicine, chemical, industrial, and impersonal, is not designed to heal, only to manage. And in this management lies the business model that has entrapped modern healthcare.
There is no profit in curing the patient. A cured patient is a lost customer.
But a controlled patient, someone with lifelong prescriptions, check-ups, and dependence, is the ideal client for the system.
The Real Cure Lies Within Us is what I would like to be beautifully summarized - what the healing revolution must look like:
“Unless these patients are willing to change their entire lifestyle and thinking… and depend on their own healing powers God gave them.”
That is the divine medicine, the immune system, the microbiome, the regenerative capacity, the emotional and spiritual balance, and the vital force God breathed into us when He made us “fearfully and wonderfully.”
(Psalm 139:14)
True healing is not in another chemical pill, another diagnostic label, or another consultation fee...
But in:
The restoration of the body’s natural harmony, nutrition and fasting, exercise and deep sleep, stress release, love, forgiveness, purpose, and reconnection with the Source of Life. We are a treater of a disease, not a healer, not a manager of disease. Despite the system doctors are trained in, there are limits.
We should not be a functionary of Rockefeller’s vision. We need to be a teacher who reveals the truth not as a "healer". A doctor can only treat the sick, but not heal him. A doctor has no divine power to heal anyone. He can only treat with medicines and surgery, but not heal. Only our own body can heal itself, not the doctor. A doctor is just a treater. I shall explain that in detail in another article. The world needs doctors who speak truth without fear,
Honour the sacredness of the body, teach patients to take back control of their health, and lead by the highest principle in medicine:
"primum non nocere" (first do no harm)
It is the Latin phrase often associated with the Hippocratic Oath in the field of medicine - both in allopathy and in naturopathy, probably in other systems of medicine as well.
Fortunately I am not alone. Though I may feel alone in truth, know this, I am never alone. I am part of a quiet but growing movement of doctors, including a lot of my former colleagues, researchers, and seekers of wisdom who are returning to the roots of true medicine. Some doctors are already a light-bearer, a voice in the wilderness, calling for truth, balance, and healing, not through domination of disease, but through the awakening of life.
Remember that the body was designed to heal, and that trust belongs not in institutions, but in truth itself.
