“Get those little guys out of here.” What followed on a mountainside in Afghanistan would completely shatter his assumptions about size, strength, and combat effectiveness. 

In this gripping military story, we explore the **incredible bravery, endurance, and battlefield skill of the Gurkhas**, the legendary soldiers recruited from Nepal who have built a reputation for unmatched courage for over two centuries. 

Standing much shorter than the average Western soldier, Gurkhas have repeatedly proven that **discipline, resilience, and warrior tradition matter far more than physical size**. 

You’ll discover the real story behind this unforgettable incident, the history of the Gurkha warriors, and why these soldiers are feared and respected across battlefields around the world.

During the campaign period, the Malaysiakini team visited multiple constituencies across southern, central, and northern Johor.

The team found that while Harapan initially faced pressure from a loosening and even dissipating Chinese base at the start of the campaign, many Chinese voters have begun to show signs of support for the coalition after the first week of campaigning.

Change123 : To PH, BN and PN, you fool me once , shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me many times, I am a stupid idiot.

BlueShark1548 : PH going to get a drubbing, period. Start with Maszlee losing.

Traveloka WINNING : If Chinese are any smart they will vote for ABAD-- Anything But Anwar DAP, due to socks issue, HALAL issue, no pig farm issue, Mr NFA issue, royal pardon issue... and so on.

Malacca police chief Dzulkhairi Mukhtar

Lawyer Rajesh Nagarajan, representing the families of the individuals involved, said the post-mortem report showed one of them was shot directly in the forehead, with the bullet penetrating through the lower right back of the head.

Another, he said, was shot in the upper left cheek with the bullet penetrating the lower back of the victim's body, while the third had two gunshot wounds to the chest, showing a bullet trajectory that penetrated through the back of the body.

He said the post-mortem report also found soot in the area of the gunshot wound scars. "That means that the distance between the gun and the wound is very, very small... we are talking about a distance within an estimated (few) centimetres," Rajesh said during a press conference at the Lawyers for Liberty office in Petaling Jaya today.

Rajesh also claimed that the post-mortem reports do not indicate that the shooting of the trio could be justified on the grounds of self-defence. "This is murder," he further claimed.

Disputed versions of event

Malacca police chief Dzulkhairi Mukhtar had previously claimed that three criminals aged between 24 and 29 were shot dead after one of them used a machete and slashed at a police officer in an oil palm plantation in Durian Tunggal.

The 4.30am incident allegedly caused the police officer, who holds the rank of corporal and is in his early 30s, to be severely injured on his left arm.

Only truth : The number of people executed this way is numerous We have seen these things happen so often until we do not trust the police anymore what was said by a police officer many years ago that the police were given okay orders to shoot and kill Indians rather than arrest them rings a bell.

IndigoPigeon9930 : Anak Melayu anak saya, anak cina anak saya, anak india anak saya, tapi ini 3 ekor bukan anak saya...

Sealthedeal : Dzulkhairi Mukhtar needs to be fired and murder charges brought against the killers. What is the hold up at the AG?

Rupert16 : The police officers involved in the shooting as well as those further up the grade who conspired to cover up the murders should be hauled to court. No ifs and buts.

Dr Suresh Kumar : Obviously they could not falsify the forensic report because the audio recordings are crystal clear as to what happened until the last moment when the shots were fired. The lies to cover up have been exposed. 

We all hate criminals, but who should prove that those three were criminals if not the courts? How could one take the life of another human in such a brutal and cowardice manner when those three were begging for their lives? 

Those cries: Bang tolong bang, saya ada anak, will certainly come to haunt the murderers. CID Director M. Kumar must act otherwise he will be blamed for protecting the murderers which will be a bad Karma for him. As such they have dragged the case for nearly 7 months already.

CID Director M. Kumar must act otherwise he will be blamed for protecting the murderers which will be a bad Karma for him. As such they have dragged the case for nearly 7 moths already.

apanama is back : The cold-blooded extrajudicial shooting happened on 24 November last year. It will be 8 months, and the police are sitting on the case. Previously, Bukit Aman CID director Datuk M. Kumar confirmed that an audio recording linked to the fatal shooting of three men in Durian Tunggal, Melaka, was sent to Cybersecurity Malaysia for forensic analysis. 

He also stated that voice samples from the victims' families, the complainant, and the involved police officers were collected for verification. This was reported on 29 December 2025. M. Kumar, are you still waiting for forensic analysis for the past 6 months plus? Or 'sudah lupa?' 

On top of the above statement by Kumar, a special Bukit Aman CID team was formed to conduct a transparent and professional investigation into the incident, particularly following allegations from the victims' families that the men were shot "execution-style". Is this task force still in force? Still working or sleeping? 

The interesting thing here is that dozens of statements have been recorded, and the investigation paper has been repeatedly submitted and updated for the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) for further directions and guidance. Why was the IP needed to be repeatedly submitted and updated for the AGC? 

Either you do not know what you are doing, or you try to cover up? Rajesh and LFL, since you have the post-mortem report and the police also have it, approach M. Kumar and start pressuring him with this report and the other evidence provided to them. 

Keep the pressure on until the eight individuals are charged and justice is given to the three families. Tell them that Indian life is NOT cheap to take away by extrajudicial killing. Taking almost 8 months for a straightforward case such as this stinks to high heaven.

Gobind said DAP has always respected the institution of the menteri besar and fully supports the current leadership under the spirit of cooperation within the coalition government.

Brown Nosing

"Well, that (Khairy's claims) is not true. I think at the end of the day, we have worked very closely with the menteri besar in Negeri Sembilan and I think (DAP secretary-general) Anthony Loke has stated this many times.  

On Sunday, Khairy said that Malays are protected in Negeri Sembilan because Umno was part of the state government.

The former health minister also said this was because there are only four Malays among Harapan assemblypersons in the state, which he said meant that the priority would be on non-Malays.

R.Venugopal : KJ has shown his true status after being admitted to UMNO. Once in UMNO you have the privilege to blame others for your own failures and why did UMNO join the unity government all these while. 

It looks like your success in UMNO is measured by the venom you throw at DAP for all the flaws in your own party. Your ambitions are all about power at any expense and sow seeds disunity. 

We are all disappointed with you on your latest statements about DAP controlling N9 and look at the EXCO which is still controlled by your own race. First learn to unite your own race before you blame others.

Un : KJ an opportunists not a true leader per se, rejoined UMNO racist political party for the sake of Malay vote and hope to be PM. So he has become smarter knows how to polish his leaders and carry … to please. 

Last election lost to an unknown pkr candidate that’s how much they love UMNO. For 61 years laundered government funds to enrich all UMNO leaders. Hope voters will continue to reject them.

PinkGiraffe0003 : KJ , kissed the rear of Najib during 1MDB and said all was kosher about 1MDB. He is no progressive, he is a pretender.

Anak JB : Akmal = Khairi (2x5=5x2)

A hilarious meme going round shows a voter peeling off the BN logo on a mock-up ballot paper, only to find the PAS symbol underneath!

Yet in 2024, PAS condemned Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi for being corrupt due to his infamous 47 criminal charges. It was not the old Semangat 46, but Semangat 47.

Veteran 1972 : So very well described the current state of affairs. Being traitors is in the DNA of Umno from Razak to the corrupted core of Umno. Have you all read about the pirates of the Indian Ocean, must make it a must read...........

HJ Angus : As far as most ordinary citizens are concerned, NR should contemplate his life during prison time. Do you notice not a single shred of remorse or apology? His only regret is that he got caught.... 

His son's appeal is understandable but also show a flawed character - not surprising for those who have benefitted the most from the skewed distribution model. Imagine the number of schools that could not be built, the affordable homes that had to be postponed and the thousands of school children struggling with decrepit buildings. 

Voters, this is the worst reason to vote BN in Johor; aside the the MB's poor leadership trait.

Change123 : Hope Bersama will do well. It will send a strong message to both PH, BN and PN. All of these 3 have failed the Rakyat. All.3.

mosquitobrain : PAS talked about Principle, Integrity and Green wave but dead quiet on RM90m 1MDB money. Human with leopard skin.

On the Other Hand : Bersama will appeal to disillusioned supporters of both PH and BN/Bersatu. This is the third force that the country has been waiting for. As for PAS, the halal dustbin awaits.Bersama is the choice. 

We always complain that there is no third force, but when one shows up, people say, 'its not perfect''. You are never going to get perfection, but one must choose the best one of the lot, going forward. Bersama ticks all the boxes. Remember, that Rafizi went to jail for exposing crooks, whereas the others went to jail for being crooks and one for doing unspeakable things, not reform. 

As for the DAP, they are no longer the party they used to be - it is now led by spineless cowards, living off the reputation of those genuine fighters like Karpal Singh and LKS, men who were prepared to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the country. The current lot are useless. 

Clearly, Bersama is a god-send to the country, when the rest are charlatans and snake-oil salesmen who have either stolen so much, or want to destroy the country by making it an Islamic State. I'm never going to trust Anwar Ibrahim again. He has lied way too often, and takes us for fools.

LimeHawk6308 : And they tell their voters not to vote UMNO for they will go to hell but now asking them to vote UMNO so they will reach heaven?

Despite making up a significant portion of Egypt’s population, Copts, the indigenous Christians of Egypt, have virtually no representation in Egypt’s top football clubs, and zero representation on the national team.

The organization Coptic Solidarity has been seeking to end this virtual sports apartheid in Egypt since it first filed formal complaints with FIFA and the International Olympic Committee in 2016. The organization has since pressured global sports bodies to uphold their own anti-discrimination standards. Yet despite years of discrimination, young Copts continue to face barriers based not on ability, discipline, or merit, but solely because of their Christian faith.

Egypt has multiple professional national sports leagues, including football, basketball, volleyball, handball, and other Olympic sports federations. However, despite Coptic Christians making up an estimated 10–15% of Egypt’s population, they are almost entirely absent from elite professional sports.

​ I bought a table at Bersama's WeFund fundraising dinner. 930 guests. 93 tables. A convention space in Selayang ... not a five-star ballroom, not a glamorous hotel. A shophouse concept venue, unpretentious and honest. Exactly right for the occasion. ​ 

And from the moment I walked in, I felt it. ​ Not excitement. Not the usual political rally energy. Something deeper. Something I HAVE NOT felt in a very long time in this country. ​ 

𝗔 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲. ​ 𝗦𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘁𝘆. ​ 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗹 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿. ​

No holding room. No bodyguards. No entourage clearing a path. Just a man in a Bersama T-Shirt, moving from table to table, shaking hands, saying thank you. Like any ordinary Malaysian would. ​ Wong Chen, MP for Subang, came to our table too. Same warmth. Same groundedness. Same genuine human presence. ​ I have been to events where ministers arrive flanked by protocol officers and leave before the food is served. 

Where the stage is more important than the people. Where power performs itself for its own benefit. ​ This was nothing like that. ​ This was a man who gave up his ministerial position, vacated his parliamentary seat, and is now working 20 hours a day ... his own words ... to prove that Malaysian politics can be done differently.

Nik Nazmi spoke about how most Malaysians today don't vote out of love or conviction ... they vote against something. And the worst victims are young Malaysians who simply don't know who to believe anymore. That is the wound Bersama is trying to heal. ​ Rafizi spoke about three big problems Malaysia must face honestly ... corruption, economic competitiveness, and sustainability of our healthcare, pension and national debt. ​ 

Problems that exist across every government, every coalition, every era. Problems nobody has the courage to address because addressing them honestly might cost votes. ​ And then he said something that crystallised everything: 

​ "𝗪𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀. 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗳𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁." 

🌿 ​ He compared Bersama to Google ... the 18th search engine in the world when it launched. Yahoo was worth billions. Google offered itself for just USD1 million and was rejected. Within five years Google changed everything. Not because it was the biggest. But because it started with the RIGHT question: ​ 

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱? ​ 

Bersama's question is the same. Not ... how do we win power? But → how do we fix the real problems of ordinary Malaysians? ​ And the founder of Bersama, Mr Tan, asked only one thing when he placed the party unconditionally in the hands of Rafizi and Nik Nazmi: ​

The Two Scapegoats

- former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad

COMMENT | The criticisms against former finance minister Lim Guan Eng and his then aide Tony Pua are meant to generate public opprobrium.

The response by these two men and the public comments by Pua (above, left) demonstrate that in these kinds of political machinations, some politicians have to respond with one hand tied behind their backs. It is neither a fair fight nor an honest one.

ScarletPanda9731 : Lim Guan Eng and Tony Pua could not cut down expenses on LRT3 Shah Alam without PM Dr. Mahathir 's approval. So, why single out the two? Be FAIR. Be honest Look with BOTH eyes, please! Nothing wrong being PRUDENT! 

It is public money .Money does not grow on trees! Easy to say " spend, spend, spend!" Where is the money? Talk is Easy! Half - baked truth is not the whole TRUTH I salute the two and the writer for telling the full - baked truth!

Mazhilamani : A very courageous comment to defend LGE. LGE was just a Minister, not the Cabinet or PM. Rightly the question should have been posed to the then PM. No plan can be implement without the Cabinet's knowledge and PM's approval.

Such acts are not uniquely perpetrated by any particular religion or culture, and Muslims themselves suffer persecution in various parts of the world. Muslims have themselves suffered genocide, for example in Bosnia. Nevertheless, regimes in the Islamic world have also perpetrated such atrocities.

Excluded from the list below are mutual population exchanges, massacres, and war crimes involving non-Muslims and Muslims (such as Greece–Turkey, India–Pakistan or Israel–Palestine).

One Of The Largest Bronze Statues In The World

Malu! Why can't we firm up with a proper organization to take care of all our military like memorials nationwide. In Australia, I saw the RSL doing an excellent job, including appointments of Adjutants from the veterans to keep an eye on things. The Armed Forces and JHEV are answerable, not the State, Federal Governments.

All that the Veterans wanted was the streamlining of pensions for those who left the service before 2013, yet they were thwarted at every turn even when the courts ruled in their favor by the Madani Goverment

US Embassy Chargé d'Affaires ad interim David H. Gamble said the contribution reflected the long-standing ties between the two countries, including the unique connection between Tugu Negara and the Iwo Jima Memorial in the US.

Gamble said there is a similar monument in the United States, the Iwo Jima Memorial. It was also sculpted by Felix de Weldon, the artist behind Tugu Negara.

"Given the striking similarities, and how these two monuments bind our countries together, we went back a few months ago and were able to get permission for the RM1 million contribution to Malaysia on behalf of the American people," he told reporters after the US Freedom 250 Reception today.

Present as guest of honour was Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani. The US will celebrate its Independence Day on July 4.

Gamble said the contribution was meant to support Malaysia's efforts to ensure the national monument is restored ahead of the country's major Merdeka milestone next year.

He said the restoration work would be undertaken by Malaysia, adding that the embassy had been working with the relevant parties to ensure the contribution would be useful.

"We have been working very quietly behind the scenes to make sure this gift from the American people is useful for Malaysia and that there is a plan for it," he said.

The celebration also featured the premiere of "America the Beautiful and Tanah Pusaka" song which Gamble said blended musical elements meaningful to both countries and was performed by singers with ties to Malaysia and the US.

Gamble said the celebration carried deeper meaning as both Malaysia and the US shared a post-colonial history of independence and nation-building.

"Next year, Malaysia will also mark a fantastic anniversary of its own post-colonial period. In that sense, we share a unique heritage - both our nations were former colonies which declared independence, struck out on their own and built nations," he said.

Gamble said Malaysia-US ties had gained strong momentum this year, with new opportunities opening up for both countries. He said American business and trade had been present in Malaysia for about 150 years and had expanded significantly over the past five decades.

"When we talk about the economic relationship between the United States and Malaysia, it is 300,000 jobs supported here in Malaysia by American businesses.

Malaysiakini : COMMENT | In debates like LRT3, the word “numbers” appears neutral, but it often masks deeper political and fiscal conflicts.

Engineers see numbers as design constraints, economists see numbers as risk and efficiency, politicians see numbers as credit or blame, whilst the public often sees numbers more simply: either “too expensive” or “money saved”.

The same "numbers" (cost, scope, debt and projections) can be interpreted very differently depending on perspective.

This subtle shift from singular to plural is far more than semantics: it marks the official embrace of relativism and the elevation of Islam alongside Christianity. While the King now symbolically shields all faiths—including one that explicitly rejects the crucifixion, divinity of Christ, and calls for war on Christians—traditional Christianity continues to be mocked and marginalized in Britain.

In a statement, the former Bangi MP said he did an early projection of three likely scenarios for the state polls, all of which conclude that BN will maintain control of the state albeit with different degrees of success.

However, Ong (above) pointed out it is most likely that BN will bag almost every state assembly seat as Harapan faces a huge trust deficit among Chinese and Indian voters.

Chefoo : Whatever dignity the DAP has left…kindly leave the PH and go solo. You will fair better and stay as opposition. Currently sitting in the federal government like a toothless person defeats the purpose why people supported you all. 

Your reason of not rocking the boat is unacceptable because UMNO while in the government has no respect for you all and rocking you out. Leave the PH and play a better role.

Turnedback : OKM , I don't know how you come to your prediction that BN win landslide majority, Don't you treat the Johorean are deaf and blind , they know how BN leaders are corrupted, they prefer to put their future to a party with record of integrity, no corruption and dares to undertake reform, New party Bersama and Muda stand up to win .

Knucklehead2 : "crushing defeat for Harapan in Johor election" - any fool can predict that already! Those dreaming of an outcome otherwise, can keep dreaming. 

The only surprise is - how many seats will Bersama get, this is the wildcard which is hard to predict. Muda might also pull a surprise going by how S. Sidik has been treated with his case.

RedWolf1406 : Wth such sentiments & outcome from Johor..Its not surprising PH/DAP will lose in NS...as in NS, PKR support have not increased..& DAP is losing support,as locals feel ALoke is getting arrogant!!!

BrownDove7179 : DSAI must be taught a good lesson for letting down all the NMS for supporting n voting him into POWER.!!!!!

PurpleDragon0476 : Translation: “Opportunistic former DAP MP who believes Najib should be pardoned and that Weathervane Khairy should be PM twists himself into mental gymnastics to share incomplete and self-serving electoral predictions that favour his personal career interests. News at 11.”

On the Other Hand : The elephant in the room, which the larger parties do not want to talk about, is the Kancil. BERSAMA, despite it being a fledgling party, could have an outsized effect on the results in the fifteen seats it is contesting. Many voters, disillusioned with the stale and self-serving politics of the older parties will gravitate towards BERSAMA.

The savings were the result of cost rationalisation undertaken by the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government, former finance minister Lim Guan Eng and his former political secretary Tony Pua said today.

In a joint statement issued in response to Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah's remarks on the project yesterday, Lim and Pua said the savings were achieved without compromising passenger capacity or the rail line's functionality.

They said the lower project cost would also reduce the government's debt burden, resulting in anticipated interest savings of up to RM10 billion over 25 to 30 years.

"We would like to reiterate the fact that these savings to the Malaysian government were not at the expense of the LRT passenger volume and functionality.

The Penyu

Turnedback : Never trust our Ex PM words , since the day he was hospitalised when MACC discovery of RM176 millions consist of foreign currency in his so called safe house ,, young voters will not for BN as what happened. The case was viral and Johorean should act wisely who and what party to vote for a clean with strong integrity to run Johore.

V S : Some politicians are simply shameless.With so many massive corruption in their party history ,he is talking of governance in BN.

AyamKambingBack : Rational voters will return BN robbers to keep robbing, stealing our national coffer? That's not rational. That's bodoh.

Logic Ah : Hello mr complimentary baju batik Rational voters would not vote for a party that has so many receipients of cooki jars Irrational voters will vote for BN

BlackDeer5241 : Coming from someone with loot found in his house to vote for a corrupt party he headed once would be irrational ! And msians are asking the AG what is happening to the investigatiom into his case when evidence was found right under MACC nose. Any DNAA case for the elite?

Optimus : So says the man caught with over RM169m and 16kg of gold bars. Only the dumb and dumber fools will support the crooks party.

He said the approach was deliberate, reflecting Malaysia’s identity, historical experience, and the need to adapt to an increasingly uncertain global environment.

BlueCougar1744 : What identity does PMX portrays to the world is one thing but what he does is another. PMX treats Palestinians much better than Malaysians and that is a fact. Stop the lying. please.

HangTuahPJ : The chameleon speaks with forked tongue. When India and Pakistan have issues, you support Pakistan eventhough India is a bigger trading partner. When Hindus are killed and temples burnt at Bangladesh, you chose to keep quiet. 

When Pakistani ter.orists attack India, you chose to keep quiet. Takde malu ke when you know we all know that you are a hypocrite with selective humanity. 

And what about the Uighur muslims in East Turkeminstan/Xingiang? Why no word on them eventhough there is genocide going on there. And Tibet - is it because they are Bhuddist?

Just Common Sense : No.1 hypocrite. Why no 'principled stand' on 40,000 unarmed protestors including youngsters slaughtered by iranian mullah regime beginning 2026? BTW how can we be non-aligned and neutral if we do not engage with Israel? Does Anwar know English?

apanama is back : Neutral foreign policy is another decoration. Whether it is national or foreign policy, the policy will always 'ubah-ubah ikut citarasa MADani. " Anwar, what is neutral foreign policy with your frequent 'lagu Palestine? '

Don’t forget the Bill Clinton also wiped out Social Security before he left Office to balance the budget budget so he looked good.. I was there when all of this went on. It’s amazing how quickly people forget Democrats don’t like you America. Democratic party should have been abolished decades ago! Dumborats are treason, traitors, liars to America.

[A]rmed groups have repeatedly raided villages, killing residents, burning homes, churches, and crops, and forcing survivors to flee into the surrounding areas. Entire communities have been obliterated. Many displaced families are unable to return: attackers reportedly seized farmland and target those who try to come back. — International Christian Concern, February 13, 2026, Nigeria. 

Pakistan's Federal Constitutional Court granted custody of 13-year-old Christian girl Maria Shahbaz to a 30-year-old Muslim man accused of kidnapping, forcibly converting, and marrying her. The court rejected her official birth certificate and ignored prior findings that the marriage was illegal, instead accepting her statement that she converted and married voluntarily—despite claims from her family and lawyer that it was made under coercion. 

Rights advocates and the girl's family criticized the ruling, pointing to evidence that the marriage certificate was fake and raising concerns about police inaction and possible collusion. They argue the girl had been in the suspect's custody for months, making any statement unreliable. — Morning Star News, February 1, 2026, Pakistan.

This will no doubt be continued in Negeri Sembilan, and later in Melaka. These three coming state elections will most definitely alter the current perceived centre of power within the country, leading to the possibility that the next federal government will be drastically different from what has been labelled the “Madani government” today.

No doubt, UMNO, which is expected to form a government after the Johor State election is pushing for an early federal election, hoping to use Johor, Negeri Sembilan, and Melaka as a catapult.

However, the current prime minister Anwar Ibrahim presently intends to allow the government to run its full term, where a full general election can be held as late as February 2028.

And not the usual ornormal kind of fake history that many nations employ — the kind meant to puff up their own civilization’s legacy. No, the EU has gone in a bolder direction: financing a historical revisionism that deliberately weakens Europe’s cultural confidence and historical memory in the name of “diversity.”

The program, oxymoronically titled “The European Qur’an” (EuQu), has one overarching goal: to convince Europeans that Islam and the Koran were somehow foundational pillars of European civilization. As the project’s homepage proudly proclaims, the idea is to “challenge traditional perceptions of the Qur’anic text and well-established ideas about European religious and cultural identities” through exhibitions, conferences, and books — that is, through mass propaganda.

Because what better use could there be for €10 million than “reeducating” Europeans into believing that Islam has always belonged in Europe, that the Koran was never a foreign invader’s playbook but rather a misunderstood sibling of the European canon?

According to the website, the project spans 700 years of European history, 1150 to 1850, from the Iberian Peninsula to Hungary, aiming to prove that “the influence of Islam on European culture is greatly underestimated.”

Is there any truth to this claim?

Well, yes — if by “influence” one means centuries of war, conquest, slavery, and terror. As historian Bernard Lewis — no one’s idea of a right-wing zealot — once wrote:

We tend nowadays to forget that for approximately a thousand years, from the advent of Islam in the seventh century until the second siege of Vienna in 1683, Christian Europe was under constant threat from Islam, the double threat of conquest and conversion. Most of the new Muslim domains were wrested from Christendom. Syria, Palestine, Egypt, and North Africa were all Christian countries, no less, indeed rather more, than Spain and Sicily. All this left a deep sense of loss and a deep fear.Another historian, Franco Cardini, put it even more bluntly in his aptly titled book, Europe and Islam:

If we … ask ourselves how and when the modern notion of Europe and the European identity was born, we realize the extent to which Islam was a factor (albeit a negative one) in its creation. Repeated Muslim aggression against Europe … was a ‘violent midwife’ to Europe.

So yes, Islam has most certainly “influenced” Europe — but not in the way EuQu wants you to believe. Not by contributing to Renaissance art or to Enlightenment philosophy, but by presenting a relentless, often existential, challenge to Europe’s very survival.

Apparently, for EuQu, there’s no difference between influence and intrusion, or between contribution and conquest. What Islam “contributed” to Europe was a religious system that, from the very founding text that EuQu is devoted to “celebrating,” has only ever offered three options to the non-Muslim: conversion, submission, or death (Koran 9:5, 9:29, etc.) — hardly the stuff of cultural fusion.

But now, courtesy of the EU’s largesse, we’re told that the Koran — once rightly viewed by Christian Europe as the ideological manual behind jihad and conquest — was actually an integral part of European identity all along.

The truth is quite the contrary. From the very start, Europeans have shown deserved contempt for the teachings of the Koran — that “most pitiful and most inept little book of the Arab Muhammad,” to quote the ninth century’s Nicetas Byzantinos. After studying Islam’s holy book, he concluded that it is “full of blasphemies against the Most High, with all its ugly and vulgar filth,” particularly its claim that Heaven amounts to a “sexual brothel.” Indeed, for centuries, European scholars translated the Koran not to admire it, but to understand the enemy. The only reason Christians ever studied it was to protect their civilizations against the ideology that had conquered so many once-Christian lands.

The post on the Selangor Royal Office Facebook page also noted that funding for the project was reduced during the Pakatan Harapan federal administration, when Lim Guan Eng was finance minister.

Dr Suresh Kumar : Nah. Tony and Rafizi are two key individuals who unearthed the 1MDP heist of the century by putting their lives at great risk. 

Their effort not only helped Malaysia to recover a few billions in stolen money and assets but also helped propel Anwar, the longest waiting PM candidate to become the PM eventually. 

In my opinion there is no need to thank a th.ef and a covert religious bigot as it is their duty to serve the people who gave these two the mandate with utmost sincerity, honesty and fairness.

Just Common Sense : Praising and thanking the wrong person. Maybe we have not read the news about Najib court cases since 2018 and the RM billions stolen. Pua has done more for this country than Najib. If we do not know that it shows how out of touch we are.

apanama is back : Your Highness Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, someone had advised you wrongly, albeit Your Highness is supposed to be apolitical. In brief, the context in 2018 is different. Below is the brief history of what happened to LRT3. 

The Malaysian government halted the LRT3 (now the Shah Alam Line) in July 2018 to execute a mandatory cost-reduction exercise. The PH administration discovered that the previous BN government under Najib had announced a RM9 billion budget that excluded major expenditures such as fees and interest. 

When these were added, projected costs ballooned to over RM31 billion. To make the project financially feasible, the government restructured it into a fixed-price contract, thereby reducing the construction cost to RM16.63 billion. 

This cost-cutting exercise caused the following changes: Shelved Stations: Five provisional stations with low initial demand were cancelled to reduce costs. Reduced Fleet: The order for six-car trains was reduced from 42 sets to 22 sets of shorter three-car trains. 

Because of these redesigns and contract restructuring, the expected completion date was pushed back. In late 2023, the government reinstated the five previously shelved stations to enhance connectivity, adding RM5.3 billion to the project's budget, bringing the total to RM21.93 billion. 

After undergoing technical and safety testing, the line finally opened for public operations 3 days ago. I am sure Tony Pua will provide more details on cost savings. Even with my brief comment, one could see that Malaysian taxpayers' money is being saved about RM10 billion. 

Your Highness, it has NOTHING to do with Najib, Lim Guan Eng and Anwar. It has to do with how much Malaysian taxpayers' money needs to be saved. That should be the priority. Finance Ministers will come and go, but it is about how much a Minister can save when undertaking a public project without compromising quality. I suggest you change your advisers.

Witness heart-pounding moments as bears, elephants, hippos, bulls, big cats, and other wildlife react with incredible speed and strength when their instincts are triggered. What begins as curiosity, routine activity, or a seemingly harmless encounter can escalate into a dangerous situation in an instant. From aggressive charges and territorial displays to astonishing escapes and split-second decisions, every clip serves as a powerful reminder that wild animals deserve both caution and respect.

In order to preserve themselves from such charges, the police allowed the grooming gangs to continue operating undisturbed, and thus tens of thousands of vulnerable British girls, repeatedly gang-raped and passed around from man to man like confetti, had their lives ruined. 

But at long last, the severity of the problem has been widely recognized, and hundreds of those Pakistani Muslim groomers have been put on trial, convicted, and sentenced to prison. Sadiq Khan isn’t worried, as a devout brown-skinned Muslim, of being accused of “racism” or“ “Islamophobia.” 

His fear is that he will be seen as incompetent and ineffectual in failing to address the grooming gang problem in London, so he has simply denied that the grooming gangs exist in the city he heads. And he also wants to hide from the public the full extent of Muslim malfeasance. 

But now the evidence of the ghastly phenomenon in London has simply become too large to ignore, and he is now being investigated for his prior denials. More on Sadiq Khan, Defender of the Faith, that Faith being Islam, and Mayor of the UK’s capital, can be found here: 

“Metropolitan Police ‘prepares to reopen 4,000 grooming gang cases’ – after London mayor Sadiq Khan was accused of downplaying problem in capital,” by Cameron Roy, Daily Mail, June 27, 2026:

The DAP adviser said the move would be to reciprocate Penang’s 1.8 million people’s strong support for Anwar and the Madani government. “Failure to do so would create a sense of grievance amongst Penangites that their support for Anwar and the unity government is not appreciated and taken for granted,” he said in a statement.

Steven Ong : ' Kedah contributed RM3.7 billion and received RM9.5 billion.' Know this fact that they ( Anwar and members ) believed in dhimi and jizya. You are rich and protected by them . So don't complain, pay your jizya tax and be grateful. 

Is there fairness and morality in Malaysia? Malaysia is a tiny state as like SIngapore. Not many states, as some like to point out, but division of its citizens according to race and religions.

UB40 : What about the other pas controlled states? Where are the details of contributions and government allocation for kelantan Terengganu perlis? Kedah contributed 3.7 billion can get 9.5 billion which is plus 156%. That is totally unfair allocation. Why pmx did not provide details of the remaining pas states ?

Knucklehead2 : Give it to him straight — Penangites have been played second fiddle while Anwar chases the illusion of MM votes in PAS‑controlled states, with nothing to show for it. 

It’s the same delusion we saw when millions were poured into Gaza while local taxpayers were shortchanged. A prime minister who struts around chasing god knows what!
