Rudyard Kipling"
“When you're left wounded on Afganistan's plains and
the women come out to cut up what remains, Just roll to your rifle
and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier”
General Douglas MacArthur"
“We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.”
“It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.” “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.
“The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.”
“May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .” “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
“Nobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."
Muslims CRASH OUT After SEEING The BIBLE Is AUTHENTIC & QURAN Is CORRUPTED
Saturday, August 08, 2026
Right now, somewhere in the world, someone is hearing about Jesus for the very first time. Not millions. One person. With a name. With a story. With a life that will never be the same. You're watching this for a reason. These Muslim Women are not there to discuss verses but to practice Taqiyya.
It's ironic that Muslims accuse Christians of what they did themselves. There’s no proof of biblical corruption, but Islamic history clearly shows massive textual manipulation under Uthman to construct today's Quran.
I bet they were thinking “uh oh, she knows wayyyyyy more about my religion than I do”. That was just masterful. This woman knows her stuff, can convey it persuasively and succinctly with impact, all with a sweet smile. Bravo!
The bible said, take heed that no one decive you, for Satan shall come masquerading as an angel of light.
I'm sure that it is still very dangerous to be a Christian. We need to pray for Christians everywhere, but especially in the Middle East. When Saudi Arabia allows churches into their country, I'll believe Islam is changing. Until then, it's all window dressing.
Before internet muslims didn't have a choice to read bible. Now they can read bible. Zakir Naik mentioned that Saudi Kids who have been to Europe around 25% of them have left Islam. I hear the Moroccan monarchy spends most of its time in France living the life.
The main problem now is not if Saudis are allowed to have a beer, it's about spineless politicians in the west handing over power to the most extreme muslim groups in exchange for (temporary) votes.
I worked in a high end Italian restaurant some years ago in Seoul, we loved the Saudi Embassy personnel, their driver came in the afternoon buying the most expensive wine bottles, brandy and whiskey using cash only and he asked to put them under the table with a big napkin that covered them. And only coffee mugs on the table . No wine glasses.
They came , ordered the most expensive food, drank their alcohol from under the table, always left a big tip
Agong: Probe Tabung Haji RCI findings 'to the ends of the earth'
Malaysiakini : Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar has called for
investigations into the findings of the royal commission of inquiry on
Lembaga Tabung Haji to be pursued “hingga ke lubang cacing” (to the ends of the earth).
In
a post on His Majesty’s official Facebook page, he said investigations
must be comprehensive, and no party found responsible should be spared
action. “No one should escape action if they are found guilty.
What is important is that something like this must not happen again,”
said the king.
Sultan Ibrahim said firm action was necessary to
ensure those responsible were held accountable and to prevent similar
problems from recurring. The king made the remarks after granting Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim an audience at Istana Bukit Tunku today.
The
meeting, which lasted more than an hour, saw Sultan Ibrahim briefed on
the contents of the RCI report as well as current issues involving the
Federal Land Development Authority (Felda).
Marriwala : PMX u now have a Royal backing put everyone who were involved....in jail. Put also people who are supporting this crooks in jail
BN has a new partner in crime...put that party also inside
When are people of this 4 states.ever going to see daylight,,economy benefits
AyamKambingBack : Thank you my Agong.
About for those responsible, can we
- fine them double the stolen amount
- forfeiture of all properties and cash for 1 generation upward 2 generation downward.
- rotan 1000 times
- willingness to return ALL loots for exchange of non-death penalty by firing squad.
- no jail term (a waste of public fund). ??
apanama is back : Oh yes, MACC started its investigation after 8 years because they could not find where the "lubang cacing" is or the end of the earth.
There is one saying, "Talk is cheap", after all the damage has been done.
It is no longer "better late than never" or "not too late", but DELIBERATELY DELAYED, and suddenly MACC found its "extraordinary courage" from nowhere.
MACC will do its job. The grilling job. Grill the 'ikan bilis' to the ends of the earth.
By the way, how about AMANAH, which can't be salvaged by investigation, prosecution and sentencing.
What is the King and the administration going to do with it, even though you pursued this case "hingga ke lubang cacing."
Nothing. It will be repeated elsewhere with a better modus operandi.
Rayer questions differing police action over podcasters' arrest, compares it with preacher Ridhuan Tee
Malaysiakini : Jelutong MP RSN Rayer has questioned the differing police action
following the arrests of two podcasters for content that allegedly
contained elements that could stir racial and religious tensions.
In
a statement today, the DAP lawmaker urged Home Minister Saifuddin
Nasution Ismail and the inspector-general of police to explain why the
two podcasters were remanded. “Podcasting is not a crime. Political discourse must not be governed by fear of reprisals.
“This does not reflect the spirit of ‘reformasi’ or reforms,” Rayer (above) said. He
contrasted the police action with their handling of preacher Ridhuan
Tee Abdullah, whom he accused of repeatedly making racially and
religiously divisive Facebook postings.
Preacher Ridhuan Tee Abdullah
Rayer cited a recent police report lodged by PKR member Rozan Azen Mat Rasip against Ridhuan and asked what action had been taken. He also alleged that Ridhuan had labelled Malay Pakatan Harapan supporters as “barua” (lackeys) and non-Malay supporters as “kafir harbi” (belligerent infidels), arguing that this warranted an arrest for investigation. “How many police reports would it take before Ridhuan is arrested?” he asked.
Open minded 2281 : Rayner now you know why NM voters are moving away from PH as they view the Mandani govt inaction as double standards. The real problem being the Home Minister has done nothing to protect NM from race and religious insults.

Tabung Haji RCI report showed where 'sakau' took place, Mujahid says By Haspaizi Zain & Mastura Malak
Mechi : Akmal,
reflects on the calibre of future Umno Ministers... if they are
elected. Imagine daily R n R criticisms of the NMs indiscriminately.
Where is Mysia heading? And not forgetting the 47 charges to his
leader!!
Malaysiakini : Former religious affairs minister Mujahid Yusof Rawa has hit back at
Umno Youth chief Dr Akmal Saleh’s question over who allegedly “looted”
Tabung Haji, saying the royal commission of inquiry report had already
identified cases warranting action.
“You cheat Muslims of their
money, but you don’t call that looting. You falsify the accounts of
Muslims, but you don’t call that looting.
“And don’t forget, the RCI also mentioned and urged, among its recommendations, that action be taken against whom? “Against the cases that had been reported within Tabung Haji. That is the looting, because there was no oversight.
“There
was no sense of responsibility, with everyone looking for what they
could gain for themselves,” said the Amanah deputy president on the
“Kini Jelas” podcast produced by KiniTV.
On July 30, Akmal questioned who actually “looted” Tabung Haji funds,
arguing that the RCI report did not clearly identify anyone and instead
focused on governance weaknesses. The report did not accuse any Umno politician of misappropriation, corruption, or theft. Akmal and other critics also took aim at Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s use of the term “sakau” (steal), noting that it did not appear in the RCI report.
Veteran 1972 : They have been doing that like forever. From taxes collected from pig farming, all the gambling outlets, selling of haram products like alcohol and so much other outlets. The space here is not enough to fill up all the haram stuff the Muslims receive without their conscience being troubled.

Malaysiakini : Ismail Sabri warded at IJN, source says charging to be postponed. MACC’s plan to charge former prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob under the MACC Act at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court this morning may have to be postponed to a later date, according to a source close to the case.
Malay Mail : Musa Aman rushed to IJN. PUTRAJAYA, Sept 6 — Former Sabah chief minister Tan Sri Musa Aman was rushed to the National Heart Institute (IJN) due to a health problem at 6.30 this evening.
According to sources, Musa who was present at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters here to give a statement on a corruption case, had to stop the questioning session much earlier.
GE1G : Renovate or construct a court room in IJN and major hospitals. This is for the convenience of VVVIP on the sponsorship of tax payers.
Bornean : High blood pressure? Just take 10mg Amlodipine in the morning and perindopril 8mg at nite. Aug 27th, he will definitely in wheelchair attending court if there is no other medical emergency. ( Learnt from Musa A ).
BluePanther4725 : Notice that every single time a politician is charged for corruption, the accused will always fall sick. It seems that the culprits always use illness as an excuse to delay or postpone their trials.
Why can't the government appoint an independent panel of doctors to assess the accused? Is the government stupid or are they giving chance to the accused? The rampant corruption in Malaysia stinks!
Francis T Rozario : Mysterious UMNO sickness, the minute you they are scheduled to attend court for corruption, they fall dangerously ill.
After acquittal, they are fine,
Zahid has always been fine, discharged even before he tried, so he got a DNA another type of discharge.
Honoring The Late Legendary Captain Ropee Adman Yahayauddin (12472) - Rest In Peace Sir
Wednesday, August 05, 2026
The legend of 7th Rangers has passed away.
🙏Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un — Dukacita dimaklumkan bahawa Hj Ropee Adman bin Yahya Uddin telah kembali ke rahmatullah pada 12.39pm, 5/08/2026; Doakan agar roh Allahyarham diampuni segala dosanya serta ditempatkan dalam kalangan orang beriman.
Solat Jenazah dan perkembumian akan di adakan di Damansara Damai/Kota Damansara. Al-Muhtadin Masjid (Damansara Damai)
Al-Fatihah. - From Kak Aini
Though Captain Ropee Adman Yahayauddin
was a small sized officer, do not be deceived he had the heart of a
lion. As I was in another company, I did not serve under Ropee, so
beyond what I have mentioned, I am not able to add anything more. Great
man to have in a fight on you side! - Lt Col Baldev Singh (Retired)
This
person was a legend in 1st Rangers, 3rd Rangers, 4th Rangers, 7 Rangers,
8 Rangers and in the 1st Special Forces Regiment. You can never find a
character as colorful as him. His name was always mispronounced as Ropee
Adnan, they confused the Adman with Adnan. He served as Platoon
Commander in 1st Rangers, 3rd Rangers and Assault Pioneer Platoon
Commander with 7th Rangers .
With his Keputusan Perutusan Keberanian (Mentioned in Dispatches - Gold Feathers) and his PJM
Infantry School USA
He was also a Troop Commander in the 1st
Special Forces Regiment. Later he served as a Company Commander in 7th
Rangers and 8th Rangers. He served from 20th February 1965 until 4th
August 1975. He was commissioned on the 5th August 1965.
He attended
Weapons Course in 1965, Tactics Course in 1965, Air Combat Officer at
RAAF Butterworth in 1966, Assault Pioneer Course in 1967, Airborne,
Pathfinder and Ranger Course in Fort Benning, USA in 1968 and his SD
Course in Lateda 1973.
Lt Col Yap Chok Sang (Retired) (Currently residing in Melbourne Australia)
: "He is an ex commando Malaysian Special Services Unit. We were in 4th
Rangers, Chong Thean Bok was the CO. He is worth more than 2 Pingat Gagah Berani's.
You should ask for exclusive rights to write his exploits. a colourful character, I attended his wedding when 2Lt Ngo Kim Seng
was his best man, love to see him. Also his contact (firefight) in
Lundu, in an attack on a Communist Terrorist Camp when he failed in an
attempt to capture the enemy sentry".
Ropee
and Zul crawled through thick belukar to the CT's location and were
surprised by a clearing patrol and a fire fight ensued, and the 2 CTs were killed while the rest bolted.
The reporting back to BN HQ was poor, due to heavy atmospheric
interference and I was tasked to set up a relay station to facilitate
communications. That is how and why I know of this contact. We were
using the SLR then and the CT's arms and thighs were literally split in 2
pieces".
Captain
Ropee and I crawled through the undergrowth, my heart was thudding as
we were closing up on the enemy, we spotted the enemy, Captain Ropee
aimed at the enemy and shot the enemy, he asked me to take the shot on
the second enemy. The rest is history, he was one of the best training
officers, he used live rounds on his soldiers, the soldiers hugged the
ground and crawled for dear life as the rounds fell very close. His
training always involved realism, he used to say, "the way we train is
the way we are going to fight!" Sadly he served for only ten years, for
his own reasons he left the service.

If you attack Israel, you can COUNT on Israel attacking you.
We will not stop responding to those who attack us. Here’s a simple guide: you don’t want Israel bomb your country? Don’t bomb Israel first. That is your iron dome and guarantees Israeli planes will never fly above your sky dropping anything.
What these people are actually mad about isn’t that Israel is bombing these places- it’s that Israel won’t just sit there and take these attacks, it’s that Israelis refuse to just die. If Israel was bombarded as it is now without responding you won’t hear these people say a word, if all Israelis died tomorrow you’ll see them celebrate.
These people aren’t human rights advocates and they do not care about anyone, don’t let them fool you, they’re using fake outrage about conflicts that can all be solved if the people we are bombing will stop trying to unalive us. It could stop tomorrow if they do.
Can we balance love and hatred for dogs? By Andrew Sia
Malaysiakini : COMMENT | The killing of pet dog Rocky in Port Klang has revealed the sharp divide between canine haters and lovers.
It
was reported that the Klang Royal City Council (MBDK) was on a night
operation at Taman Teluk Gedung Indah to catch stray dogs. Fifty
residents joined in.
Former Klang MP Charles Santiago said Rocky was allegedly beaten to death by a group of men. This was despite attempts by a family, which had cared for it since it was a puppy, to save it.
He called the incident a “deliberate, brutal killing”.
Anwar's reform promise undone by political appointments By R Nadeswaran
Malaysiakini : COMMENT | Less than three weeks
after coming into power, the Pakatan Harapan government and Prime
Minister Anwar Ibrahim appeared to deliver on one of its most prominent
pre-election pledges: ending political appointments.
Long said to be a “little extra income” for party affiliates, supporters, hangers-on, and sycophants, such appointments were extended to civil servants - past and present. It was also a backdoor entry for party leaders who lost in the elections.
Sampehpagi : The chameleon has successfully revived UMNO
JKT : Anwar killed PH by siding with UMNO. Period.
Untrustworthy. Terribly chameleon.
He must step down or PH is finished. Or maybe it is finished.
GrayParrot9290 : Get Pmx, Fahmi and Jkom DG comments !
Pmx still wondering why progressive Rakyat is abandoning him and PKR ?
Unity government is a lame excuse for bowing to UMNO ! You sacrificed your principle and promises to the Rakyat !
'Email Anwar' campaign launched as Beng Hock family's 17-year quest for justice continues
Malaysiakini : Seventeen years after the tragic death of former DAP political aide
Teoh Beng Hock, his family and supporters are renewing their push for
justice.
The Teoh Beng Hock Association for Democratic Advancement
(TBH-ADA) has launched the “Email Anwar” campaign, urging the public to
write to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and demand that he honour his
promise to the family, disclose the findings of the government’s
investigation, and explain why no one has been held criminally
accountable.
The association noted that following a meeting
with Teoh’s family in August 2024, Anwar announced that the government
had agreed to reopen police investigations into his death.
However,
in May 2025, the Attorney-General’s Chambers classified the
investigation as “no further action” (NFA), citing insufficient
evidence.
“Anwar’s promise to the Teoh family came with a clear deadline, and that two-year deadline has now passed. “He
must give the family and the Malaysian public an open and honest
account of the investigation’s findings. This promise must not be
allowed to become another empty promise,” said TBH-ADA chairperson Koong
Hui Yein in a statement.
Campaign seeks answers on stalled probe
According to TBH-ADA, the email campaign is to demand that Anwar take the following actions:
Explain the findings to Teoh’s family.
Provide
the family with a formal, comprehensive briefing on the findings and
the latest status of the investigation launched following the August
2024 commitment.
Account publicly for the investigation.
Explain what the authorities investigated, what conclusions they reached, and why no prosecution has been brought.
Ensure a genuine criminal investigation.
Direct
police to reopen the investigation under legal provisions relating to
murder, culpable homicide, or other appropriate criminal offences, while
properly addressing the Court of Appeal’s findings.
Teoh,
then an aide to Selangor state executive councillor Ean Yong Hian Wah,
was found dead in 2009 after being questioned overnight at the Selangor
MACC office, then located at Plaza Masalam in Shah Alam. A 2011 royal commission of inquiry concluded that Teoh had been driven to suicide by aggressive interrogation.
However, the Court of Appeal ruled in 2014 that his death had been caused or accelerated by unlawful acts, including those of MACC officers. On Nov 21, 2024, the Kuala Lumpur High Court ordered police to complete their investigation into Teoh’s death within six months.
In May this year, his family filed a judicial review
seeking to compel the authorities to investigate his death as a murder,
challenging what they described as the police’s use of an “incorrect”
and lesser offence.
The move followed confirmation from police in
January that previous investigations into Teoh’s death had been
conducted under Section 342 of the Penal Code for wrongful confinement.
Bluemountains : The TBH probe report is not the only thing that has been suppressed.
What about the Azam Baki probe report ?
What about the LCS probe report ?
The discount on jail term and fine for Najib and the DNAA for Zahid reflect very poorly on the integrity of the leadership.
Protecting wrongdoers is an act of complicity.
Police report lodged against preacher over alleged 3R social media posts
A Wannabe Melayu
Malaysiakini : A police report has been lodged against Islamic preacher Ridhuan Tee
Abdullah over a series of social media posts allegedly touching on race,
religion, and royalty (3R) issues.
The report, lodged by Batu PKR
division member Rozan Azen Mat Rasip, was submitted to the Ampang Jaya
district police headquarters at 10am today.
In a copy of the report sighted by Malaysiakini, Rozan cited several Facebook posts published by Ridhuan (above) between May 17 and Aug 3, alleging they contained racial rhetoric and provocative remarks.
He
claimed the posts used derogatory and inflammatory language that
“exceeded the bounds of acceptable public discourse” and could threaten
public order.
Starwars : The gradual erosion of public support for Pakatan Harapan (PH) can be traced directly to its perceived inaction against divisive figures who threaten Malaysia's social fabric. A prominent example is the continuous, unchecked racial rhetoric from individuals like Ridhuan Tee.
Despite numerous police reports lodged by concerned citizens, meaningful legal consequences remain absent.This systemic inaction by the Attorney General’s (AG) Chambers has only served to embolden those who spew hatred and politicise race.
When inflammatory remarks face zero accountability, it signals to the public that the rule of law is selective rather than universal. This deeply disappoints voters who elected PH on the promise of institutional reform.If Pakatan Harapan genuinely intends for the rule of law to prevail, it must demonstrate political will.
Replacing an AG who fails to decisively prosecute hate speech and defend national unity is a necessary first step. To win back the trust of the people, the government must prove that no one is above the law, and that harmony is actively protected, not just used as a campaign slogan.
Harapan must return to reforms even if it's too late to fight BN-PN tide in GE16 By Ong Kian Ming
Monday, August 03, 2026
Malaysiakini : COMMENT | As I predicted,
BN-Perikatan Nasional easily won the Negeri Sembilan state election by
winning 25 out of 36 state seats (70 percent), with BN winning 18
(including two by MCA), and PN winning seven (PAS four, Wawasan three).
Pakatan
Harapan won 11 seats (DAP nine, PKR two), with two of its political
heavyweights, Transport Minister Anthony Loke and former menteri besar
Aminuddin Harun, losing their state seats in Chennah and Linggi respectively.
Harapan’s vote share was 39.7 percent this year compared to 44.4 percent in the 2022 general election.
Malay vote consolidation
The
major difference this time was that the Malay votes were not split
between BN and PN, and the two coalitions combined to win more than 55
percent of the popular vote, which is sufficient to win a comfortable
majority of seats in a first-past-the-post electoral system.
Bersatu’s vote share plummeted to 2.7 percent with only one out of its 24 candidates retaining his deposit (N7 Jeram Padang).
Candidates
must pay a deposit of RM10,000 for parliamentary and RM5,000 for state
seats when contesting in elections. They will lose their deposit if they
fail to win at least 12.5 percent of the vote.
My initial estimates of Malay and Chinese turnout for the state election were 78 percent and 62 percent respectively. In
a 57 percent Malay electorate state like Negeri Sembilan where an
estimated 80 percent of Malay voters supported BN or PN, this translates
into an electoral advantage of slightly more than seven percent for BN
and PN candidates.
My initial estimate of Malay support for Harapan in this state election was less than 10 percent, at around eight percent. Among
the Chinese voters who turned out to vote, more than 90 percent
supported Harapan, but this wasn’t enough to “save” Loke in Chennah,
which was effectively a 40 percent Chinese seat versus 60 percent
Malay+Orang Asli who voted overwhelmingly for the BN/MCA candidate.
This
state election wasn’t just a case of votes being transferred from PN to
BN and vice versa. In 30 of the 36 state seats, Harapan's share of the
vote fell compared with the 2022 general election.
Out
of the six state seats where Harapan experienced an increase in support
were N1 Chennah and N32 Linggi (by 2.4 percent in both seats), but
because most of the votes won by PN in 2022 were transferred to BN in
2026, this small increase in support was overwhelmed by the even larger
increase in support, especially among the Malay voters, for BN and PN.
Lessons for Harapan
What lessons can Harapan take away from this defeat?
If
there was one piece of advice that I would give to Harapan and
especially Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, it would be this: please focus
on delivering the political and institutional reforms which were the
fundamental reasons for which you promised while in opposition, and move
away from the short-term tactics which failed to deliver you the votes
in Johor and Negeri Sembilan.
The electorate is too knowledgeable for you to try to win them over with short-term tactics such as making public the Tabung Haji
royal commission of inquiry report three years after it was completed
in the hope that it would sway some Malay voters, trying to make
political capital out of the deportation of 5,000 Rohingya back to Myanmar, and apologising for the “temple issue” to the Indian community.
The institutional reforms that could be delivered before GE16 include:
(i) 10-year term limit to the tenure of the prime minister
(ii) Separation
of the public prosecutor and attorney-general roles (both of these
bills were not tabled in the recently concluded parliamentary session)
(iii) Introducing an equal constituency allocation bill so that opposition MPs would receive the same allocation as government MPs
(This is important especially since Harapan is likely to find itself back in the opposition after GE16)
(iv) Go back to pushing for electoral reform including a fair delimitation of constituencies at the federal and state levels.
The reform test
The
last reform is a good reminder to Anwar and Harapan leaders. In May
2024, Anwar had an opportunity to fill the vacancy of the Election
Commission chairperson.
Many NGOs, including Bersih and Tindak
Malaysia, asked for the list of names for this position to be vetted by
the parliamentary special select committee on human rights, elections,
and institutional reform, headed by PKR MP for Selayang, William Leong.
I
suggested a few candidates who were seen to be independent and
respected by the public, especially with regard to electoral reform.
In the end, Parliament was not consulted, and Anwar tabled a name, Ramlan Harun,
who is a retired civil servant, following the same modus operandi used
by BN in the past, to fill the position of the EC chairperson.
(I have nothing against ex-civil servants, but they are the least likely to want to push for electoral reform independently.)
Election Commission chairperson Ramlan Harun
Would
the Johor and Negeri Sembilan state elections have been called at the
same time if there was a more independent EC chairperson? This would be
something that would continue to haunt Harapan.
It is noteworthy
that coalition leaders, including Anwar himself, have done and said
almost nothing in terms of electoral reform, including on the important
delimitation of electoral boundaries which is supposed to start in 2026
and conclude in 2028.
Ironically, a fairer delimitation of
constituencies is one of the few things which could help Harapan in
future elections, but there is not enough time under this Madani
administration.
Pushing for these reforms is the right thing for
Harapan to do even if it ends up in the opposition post GE16. The
long-suffering Harapan supporters deserve as much.
Meerkat : Anwar is too busy poking his nose into external affairs and trying to be more well known internationally than putting right Malaysia's ills. He turned out to be a bad PM and dashed the hopes of a lot of right thinking Malaysians
Sampehpagi : All these advices were already in RR’s podcasts but sadly, Mr. Madani just won’t do it, he feels afloat higher than others, he reminded others he’s the sitting PM.
His apology if any if not sincere, not from his heart, it’s from his brain for votes, the only thing he can do is the MGR dance. TH RCI reports he sat on it for almost 4 years, any forensic audits?
They’re not my cousins, they’re not my family, and I don’t have to pretend I want a future that involves them. If my cousin was a serial k1lled you best believe I won’t be running around saying he’s my cousin first, especially if he keeps trying to k1ll me.
They chose their path, they’ve done their damage, and I will not entertain this fake utopian universe that only adheres to the western mind, I live in the Middle East, and when my enemy tells me they want me dead- I believe them.
His words sound good in theory, but this is not reality. He is delusional in his thoughts. Sad but true. Agree with you, sis. It’s so cringe hearing Rudy continue down this path of appeasement.
He doesn’t represent most us because people who want to delete us sure as hell don’t deserve to be called family! Finally!!!!! Mia, thank you for saying that. That's exactly what I'm thinking every time I hear him.
He is trying to be this nice guy who wants to live in peace with the aggressor but he doesn't want to realize that as long as he proceeds this narrative Israel will be hated.
The Betrayal That Brought Back UMNO by Dennis Ignatius
Dennis Ignatius : [1] It’s three strikes now – Sabah, Johor,
Negeri Sembilan. The UMNO-PAS coalition is on a roll. If this
trajectory continues, UMNO-PAS will form the next government, and Zahid
will most likely become the next prime minister. By any measure that
would be a remarkable comeback – from the ashes of defeat to the
pinnacle of power.
[2] Don’t be surprised if Hadi Awang
becomes deputy prime minister. That would put PAS one step closer to its
long-cherished goal of ruling Malaysia and, ultimately, transforming it
into an Islamic state. It doesn’t augur well that a party with a
history of corruption, racism, and abuse of power alongside a party with
a history of bigotry and extremism could now sit in Putrajaya.
[3] Malaysia is at this inflection point
because of the perfidy of the PH leadership, and Anwar in particular. He
had every opportunity to usher in the reforms he promised; instead he
pawned them for ambition and power. He struck a Faustian bargain with
UMNO that stripped his government of the political will to fight
corruption. His promise of a more inclusive government turned out to be
nothing more than a chimera.
Anwar Ibrahim must make peace and apologise to Goddess Kali Written by Norman Fernandez
FB : In a WhatsApp group, where I suggested that Anwar Ibrahim must make peace and apologise to Goddess Kali, one member asked if I will apologise to Goddess Kali. Here is my response:
I have never insulted and won’t insult Hindu Gods. I have witnessed those who insulted Hinduism and Hindu Gods. They are damned here on earth. Very unlike Christian Gods, where you get a chance to explain ( and seek forgiveness) in heaven. Hindu Gods are a little different.
Remember, Khir Toyo who went on a demolishing spree? He lost his position and ended up in prison;
Remember, Isa Samad, so many temples demolished during the time he was FT Minister and now serving time in prison;
Remember, the corporate tycoon who where a Hindu temple in his land ( estate ) was demolished and he died in a airplane crash;
There are many similar instances.
Even if you do not pay with prison or death, damnation can come with loss of office.
Remember the FT mayor involved in the transfer of the temple land? Well, she was removed from her post;
Remember the FT minister who was involved in the land transfer? Well, not only she lost her cabinet post but also led her party to a disastrous state election.
Oh by the way, let us also not forget about the huge fire at the landowners godown/shop that caused a RM100 million damage.
So there is something about Hinduism. These small shrines, temples and statues provide peace and succour for Hindus, sometimes for hundred of years.
But if you think they are offensive and should be removed and destroyed, you will face temporal damnation.
So the answer to your question is this- There will never arise a situation for me to apologise to Goddess Kali, because I will not do any act to hurt Goddess Kali and such a situation of having to apologise will never arise.
By contrast, Anwar is facing a temporal damnation which he cannot win. So, he should apologise to Goddess Kali for what he did. Getting the temple demolished, laying the first foundation stone and making his victory of Islam speech.
He has finally apologised for calling temples built without permission as kuil haram. Perhaps he should now find a way to make peace with Hinduism, Hindus, Hindu Gods and definitely with Goddess Kali. How? Well, I can give some suggestions ( he can call me).
I do not need to reach out. He has my phone number. In the meantime, he continues to be damned
PSM leaders, farmer charged while Nicky Liow gets his photo with PM By Commander S THAYAPARAN (Retired) Royal Malaysian Navy
Malaysiakini : “Such
actions are more the behaviour of gangs, not a prudent administration
that respects the people and the laws of the country.”
- PSM chairperson Dr Michael Jeyakumar Devaraj
COMMENT
| It says a lot about Madani that controversial businessperson Nicky
Liow and his coterie not only get their acquittals and discharge not
amounting to an acquittal (DNAA), but he gets his picture taken with
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
Meanwhile, a farmer and PSM leaders get charged with obstructing public servants in the discharge of their duties.
Here
is the thing about activists like PSM and its chairperson, Dr Michael
Jeyakumar Devaraj. They want to engage with the bureaucracy and
corporate interests. They want to negotiate with the state-owned
interests or corporate groups.
MS : AI was never about good governance, social justice or reform of any nature.
He was always about himself, his obsession with being top dog.
That much was always clear to everyone who knew his antecedents.
Those disappointed today, those regretting rooting for him, are those who believed his tall tales, those who got taken.
XED : Anwar Ibrahim is busy solving the problems of people far away from Malaysia.
Warm Skies : Anwar has learnt his most bitter lesson about supposedly "close" political friends. In times of test, only DAP and Amanah stood by him.
Therefore take heed of whatever they advice him to get back the rakyat's support, not what his own party tells him which sometimes border on silliness and foolishness.
We all know that succumbing to UMNO's pressure for early G16 elections will only help UMNO to ride the blue green wave.
Why give them a free ride?
Get the East Coast support, and not lallang support when they feel like it.
Other measures to include whether to raise dnaa47 again through the courts and one can bet most of the UMNO cabinet members have dirty hands which can be looked into. No more closing one or both eyes.
As for yourself stop preening as though you are the chosen one, roll up your shirtsleeves and get dirt under your fingernails. Stop taking pics of questionable people like Nicky, and no more impromptu off the cuff remarks. Remember that idiot who said, silence is elegant.
There are still some good guys and girls in PKR.
BluePanther4725 : Anwar's days as PM are numbered. He will lose his seat in GE16. DAP and Amanah should stay away from Anwar, otherwise they will also lose.
The only way to save PH is to get rid of Anwar as its leader, either voluntarily or involuntarily. Come GE16, DAP and Amanah should work with Bersama, PSM, Muda, Sabah and Sarawak and ditch Anwar and PKR.
Where was the ancestral homeland of the Malays? By Ranjit Singh Malhi
Sunday, August 02, 2026
Malaysiakini : COMMENT | There is a claim about
Malay history that gets repeated so often, and so confidently, that
almost nobody stops to check it: that Tanah Melayu - the Malay Peninsula
– has always been the ancestral homeland of the Malays.
It is
treated less as an argument than as common knowledge. A closer
examination of the historical record, however, reveals a rather
different picture.
To be clear, nobody disputes that the peninsula
became the heart of Malay civilisation. This is where the great
sultanates rose, where the Malay language reached its highest prestige,
where Islam took deep root, and where Malay custom matured into one of
Southeast Asia’s most enduring civilisations. None of that is in question here.
Sycophant/ DAP leaders gather around Ah Loke, as he mulls a career of frying char kuey teow,
Malaysiakini : Several DAP leaders have rallied behind Negeri Sembilan party chief
Anthony Loke after he announced that he was considering stepping down
from the post over the party’s overall performance in the state
election.
In a Facebook statement, DAP deputy chairperson Nga Kor Ming said that Loke, who is also the party’s secretary-general, had demonstrated outstanding leadership in the face of an exceptionally challenging and arduous election and that he would stand by Loke.
Veteran 1972 : DAP urges govt to keep promise, ensure all 10A SPM students get matriculation spots
World Citizen
: Mr. DAP, are you part of the government or an NGO? If the former,
then demand it as people have given you the clout and mandate. Don't beg
for the crumbs.
If you think you are just an NGO, then just save your
breath and spare us the agony of looking at your pathetic face every
time you open your mouth.
BlueShark1548 : Loke should not only quit as NS DAP chief but as DAP SG as well as his compromise politics with Anwar are rejected by NMs.Loke is a good and hardworking minister but that should not be good enough to save his position as DAP leader.
With 40 MPs, the largest in the unity government DAP was willing to accept crumps from Anwar and UMNO.UMNO got what it wanted with 26 BN MPs.DAP even walked away from Teoh's case and his family is still waiting for justice which DAP leaders talk only but did nothing.
Anwar did not bother to honor PH manifesto and DAP kept quiet.Same conduct with former MACC chief and many immigration and PDRM cases.Loke continued role as DAP chief is not acceptable and if he continues DAP will suffer the final consequences in GE16 .DAP will go down with Anwar when it is only Anwar who should sink.
Gobind's and other leaders' statement of acceptance of defeat with humility is just talk but where is the action? Hopefully DAP Congress in August will deliver a clear message of principles to its leadership and not behave like MCA in its endorsement of Chua as leader when he was involved in a scandal.
apanama is back : First things first, Anthony Loke MUST step down as DAP Negeri Sembilan party chief because not only did he lose, but his party also did not meet his expectations. A new DAP Negeri Sembilan leader should helm the state chapter.
There is NO need for a day or two for a cool head to prevail. It is a direct decision by Loke. Loke should go ahead and convince his colleague during the upcoming DAP central executive committee meeting to accept his resignation as state chief.
If you stay on, it sends a wrong message that you did not read the voters' message. Do not try to follow what UMNO Baru will do; when they lose, they keep the post, saying they will try later.
One can spin in many ways about Loke's loss, whether the margin is small, DAP got 9 out of 11, so it is not bad, maths said progressive voters still intact, blah, blah, etc.
Spin until the cows come home.
However, the message is NOT only from Negeri Sembilan. It goes beyond yesterday's state election results.
Anthony Loke and DAP should look at yesterday's defeat as a CUMULATIVE DECLINE in his support base since the Sabah election.
During the campaign, Loke sang praises about how the Malays had supported him since 2013 in Chennah. After his defeat, his supporters and 'ampu bodekers' began blaming the Malay voters. Why do you need to blame certain voters? Any voters, be it Malay, Indians, Chinese, Sikh, etc., are NOT a fixed deposit.
Get this into your mind. One day you sing praises of certain voters, and when things never go as you wish, you blame everything except yourselves. This is why PH and DAP have been losing since the Sabah election.
Since the buck stops with Anthony Loke in Negeri Sembilan, he should take responsibility for his miscalculation of voters' sentiment.
Remember, Anthony Loke's loss of his state seat is not an ordinary 'bungkus.' It is sending a serious message to him and DAP due to the cumulative effect.
He can continue with his SG, MP and Minister's job since his head is cool all the time.
The World According to Sam: Can Government be this Stupid and Greedy?
Let us tell the truth and nothing but the truth about governance stupidity and wastage of taxpayer funds. Why do we have this. Compare the utter wastage because of pure politics.
If we do the same things, vote for the same people, don't expect a different result, ok. Think differently. Do differently.
Absolutely true. Hopefully all Malaysians will listen to this podcast. Very true. Kudos to you Sam. You took all the words out of my mouth.
One more, please eliminate the Police Outriders which cost the Rakyat huge expenses and a nuisance in Heavy Traffic during Peak hours. Our money is used up by our many many politicians and getting pension for life. Malaysian wake up. Religious Affairs Minister should move to the 1st to get rid of.
The sad part is that political tyranny thrives on the very points you brought up. Why? Because day after day, it is the same game that is being played and they are free to do so at the peoples' expense. Even worse, the opposition is completely nonexistent or even hopeless.
Parliament is nothing but a circus, where the ponteng culture goes unnoticed, because as you say there are too many clowns and assistant clowns, who have no clue as to the very reason they are there or bothered only about themselves. What more, the same tyranny of clowns will be recycled back (or rebranded).
Not only choices are limited, but people change once power and circumstances are at stake. At the end of the day, change is difficult to come and we will continue to be at the mercy of the tyranny, whoever seems to be elected to "power".
Bravo. This is truth in its entirety. Time to oust dead logs from ruling our beloved country which is the only home we know.
The Sri Raja Raja Mathuraiveeran Hindu temple in Kampung Rawa, Penang, was demolished on March 27, 1998, by municipal workers (MPPP) following an agreement to relocate the shrine to Jalan S.P. Chelliah to defuse severe religious tensions and localized rioting.
This action occurred under the Penang state administration led by then-Chief Minister Dr. Koh Tsu Koon, with federal intervention and negotiation managed alongside then-Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
BrownMouse3827 : Hello PMX, have just realized that you offended the Hindu community with your Kuil Haram outburst. It took you more than a year and also when you proclaimed a victory for Islam over the Masjid India Kuil.
Veteran 1972 : Indians do not need to vote for him at all and the rest who sympathise with the Indians. He has another voting block, he goes out on a limb for the Palestinians.
He should ask them to vote for him. He has given more to them than the Indians. Yippee kayeh, he truly blew it big time. Who can forget about the "Bangang Veterans"? Want to apologise to us too?
BlueWolf8708 : Yes AI before elections your promise everything but after election kuil haram will come out then the Indian girl who asked your about matriculation you insulted at least she had the guts to ask not like Ram so many promises but nothing has been done.
Generally all Indian DAP and Harapan MP's are sitting ducks waiting for allowance and pension. Total disgrace in NS election the unwanted MIC will all their seats. Goodbye and Goodridance HARAPAN.
Dr Suresh Kumar : There he goes again with his same old deceptive pattern. Issuing a fauxpology filled with empty, feel good bromides close to an election. Does he think the Indians who were once a pliant lot will remain the same?
How much and how long more you want to insult them? Asking Ramanan to look into Indian issues is a gross lack of respect for a community that gave this mythomania their undivided and wholehearted support. The Indians should never trust this unremorseful demagogue again.
After all genuflecting is his wont during desperate moments, isn’t it? The issue is not about forgiving as our faith, culture and tradition have taught us to open our doors to our enemies if they showed genuine contrition. But this man cried wolf too many times to forgive.
He openly insults the Indians when he is addressing the majority race and conveniently thinks it will be forgotten. He insulted the KBP villages in 2008 and then disappeared when they wanted to meet him and now out of a sense of foreboding he addresses a crowd of one thousand Indians promising this and that as though they are fools.
Anwar’s diabolical strategy to win Indian votes is bound to backfire spectacularly. Maybe, just maybe if he had zipped up his mouth, he might have won some Indian votes in the upcoming NS election. Even if Anwar is willing to give in writing whatever he promises, I would not touch him with a ten foot pole. Que sera, sera Anwar!
Senior Citizen : A hypocrite if there ever was one.What about the sale of land to Jakel and that extremist who damaged the temple in Lankawi.
apanama is back : After losing the Indian votes in the Johor state election and anticipating he may lose Indian votes in N9, he needs to apologise. Otherwise, MOST PROBABLY Anwar WILL NOT apologise for his statement about Indian temples.
However, one wonders how a PM who said "anak India anak saya" SUDDENLY uttered, "kuil haram." Yes, he is NOT perfect, but Anwar should not be hiding under the pretext that "The prime minister is not perfect; the prime minister is also a human being, sometimes he does not mean it when he uses the wrong term."
Anwar, as a PM, I am NOT expecting perfection from you.
However, you are the Prime Minister and surrounded by so-called advisers. So why do you never think and measure your words before speaking them? This is the crux of the issue, not perfection.
If a man on the street said "kuil haram", it could be forgiven, but a PM, educated and fond of showing off his quotes as a widely read person, saying so-do you expect people to forgive you when you have the resources to avoid saying so in the first place?
You can quote Tirukkural, but you can call temples illegal. I am puzzled.
Traveloka WINNING : There is no need for Anwar to apologize, when he said that it's VICTORY for Islam for a MADANI mosque to be built on top of an illegal Indian temple, he knew exactly what he meant and the impact.
He knew that the majority of the MM would approve every single use of the word: Islam Victory, illegal temple. It can only help his statue in the eyes of the MMs (But that's different than voting for him).
He also asked for more illegal temples to be cleaned up, so that the dignity of Islam can be defended, and he got what he wanted with the vigilante act in Rawang and all.
That's what he wanted and he knew it. So why apologize now?
WhiteHornet2439 : A leopard cannot change its spots..... from Day 1 that started during his student days...he has not changed.
In his obsession for the support from the other camp, he has marginalized the communities that actually helped him attain the position he is in today.... for a few more months....before he becomes XPM.
Saying sorry now is too little too late.
More funds have been allocated to people in far away lands than the marginalized in our homeland
