According to the DAP deputy secretary-general, this must be emphasised to avoid giving the impression that a vote for DAP to remain in government means the party would stay on even when doing so is detrimental to its interests.

"One such detrimental instance that comes to my mind would be if Umno insists on seeking a pardon and eventual release of its convicted former president, Najib Abdul Razak. "Whether or not this crosses the red line, so to speak, should be something open for delegates to think about, and they should be free to elect to leave the government in such circumstances, even if they vote to remain in government.

Vijay47 : Ramkarpal Singh, it is sad that a person of Karpal Singh’s lineage would continue to disregard the elephant in the room. You suggest a firm DAP stand should Anwar Ibrahim and his government “cross the red line”. What red line would that be? 

The two of them have long crossed and smashed lines of every colour and shade and you still serve as a pliant cat’s paw. Sabah gave your party a bloodied nose in their state election over your betrayal of Anwar Ibrahim’s rosy pledges and promise of change. 

Yet DAP has not learned a lesson; you just kept on being silent, did not have a single thing to say, and let the prime minister rampage as he pleased. Token attention to others do not count, when his total focus is on Malays and Muslims. Isn’t everyone “anak saya”? 

What role to you play in Government? You have been reduced to a pathetic battle cry of “Vote for Harapan; or else things will be worse under PAS”. How much worse, Ramkarpal? I do not mind being under PAS. Not because I find their cause tolerable but that they are at least sincere foes given to stabbing us in the breast. 

This is anytime preferable to being pierced in the back by a so-called friend. Are we expected to support a band of traitors because the alternative is feared to be worse? If your DAP does not vote on Sunday to leave the coalition, this country’s demise is almost a sure thing – Anwar Ibrahim will forge further ahead with his ways and the non-Malays will face an unimaginable future. Ramkarpal, perhaps you and DAP welcome sitting at the back of the bus.

Headhunter : It’s a bit late to be making demands. Those should have been brought up when Anwar invited DAP to form the government. Knowing Anwar had no choice, you should have laid your cards on the table then. 

In the rush to form the government, everything was offered by DAP on a silver platter, even at the cost of being short-changed on portfolios despite having a bigger haul of seats compared to PKR. In short, DAP ended up with the short end of the stick. Worse, you guys are now being blamed for a weak government.

Veteran 1972 : They crossed a major red line when PMX claimed a victory over the demolition of a Hindu temple. Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim (PMX) faced heavy criticism and accusations of crossing a red line after using terms like "illegal temples" and calling for local councils to clear unauthorized structures. 

He later apologized for the phrasing and stated no old temple was demolished under his watch. Tensions peaked after independent groups partially tore down a temple structure in Rawang, with lawyers for the groups attempting to cite the Prime Minister's statements as justification. 

Accusations of Appeasement: Detractors claimed the rhetoric was a political maneuver aimed at appealing to the Malay-Muslim majority at the expense of the Indian community's historical and religious rights. So many lines crossed, please grow a pair!

The Book of Revelation opens with seven letters addressed to seven churches:

• Ephesus.

• Smyrna.

• Pergamum.

• Thyatira.

• Sardis.

• Philadelphia.

• Laodicea.

Today, very little remains of those churches.

Now… what happened?

Early Christianity

A lot of people don’t realize this, but Christianity didn’t come from Europe - it came from the Middle East and the eastern Mediterranean. In fact, places like modern-day Syria, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, and Egypt were the heart of Christianity centuries before Europe converted. You could argue these regions were more important to (early) Christianity than Europe.

Most of the Middle East (with the exception of places like the Arabian Peninsula) was overwhelmingly Christian. Over the centuries, following the Islamic conquests beginning in the 7th century, much of the region became Muslim.

Take Asia Minor, for example. This was one of the most important centers of the early Church. The Apostle Paul founded churches in some of the largest cities of the Roman Empire. St. John is believed to have spent the last years of his life in Ephesus, and according to ancient Christian tradition, the Virgin Mary lived there under his care.

The New Testament shows just how central this region was. Paul’s letters to the Ephesians, Galatians, and Colossians were all written to churches in Asia Minor.

In this one, we look at how and why Western academics and other elements have completely dissembled the meaning of jizya, causing the people of the West to be oblivious to the sufferings caused by the return of this Islamic institution. But first, a quick recap: The Arabic word jizya is derived from Koran 9:29: 

Fight those among the People of the Book [Christians and Jews] who do not believe in Allah nor the Last Day, nor forbid what Allah and his Messenger have forbidden, nor embrace the religion of truth [Islam], until they pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.

In other words, conquered Christians and Jews were to purchase their lives, which were otherwise forfeit to their Muslim conquerors, with money. As one medieval jurist succinctly put it, “their lives and their possessions are only protected by reason of payment of jizya.”

Incidentally, the Koran’s call for infidels to pay jizya while “feel[ing] themselves subdued” is precisely why one Islamic State editorial urges the Christians of the Congo “to pay the jizyah and remain submissive.”

Payment of jizya was never limited to extorting money from “infidels”; it was also a reminder for them to “know their place.” Some of Islam’s jurists mandated several humiliating rituals at the time of jizya payment. The presiding Muslim official could slap, choke, and/or pull the beard of the paying Christian or Jew — who might also be made to approach the official on all fours.

Although direct European intervention in the nineteenth century brought an end to jizya exactions, today — whether institutionalized as under the Islamic State and its offshoots, or as a “vigilante” rationale to plunder infidels, as in Mali — jizya is back.

That said, there is a reason the perennial institution of shaking down infidels for money is so completely unknown or misunderstood in the West. In keeping with an important theme — how Fake History of Islam undermines the West’s ability to comprehend the dangers of Muhammad’s creed — academics have utterly warped the meaning of jizya.

Consider the words of John Esposito, the late founder of the Prince Alwaleed Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding at Georgetown University:In many ways, local populations [Christians, Jews, and others] found Muslim rule more flexible and tolerant than that of [Christian] Byzantium and [Zoroastrian] Persia. 

Religious communities were free to practice their faith to worship and be governed by their religious leaders and laws in such areas as marriage, divorce, and inheritance. In exchange, they were required to pay tribute, a poll tax (jizya) that entitled them to Muslim protection from outside aggression and exempted them from military service. 

Thus, they were called the “protected ones” (dhimmi). In effect, this often meant lower taxes, greater local autonomy (emphasis added) Despite the almost gushing tone related to Muslim rule, the idea that jizya was exacted in order to buy “Muslim protection from outside aggression” is an outright lie, as is Esposito’s assertion that jizya was paid to “exempt them [non-Muslims] from military service.”

When MSMEs fall behind on tax liabilities, even sums under RM500,000, the department often pursues them to the fullest extent of the law, culminating in prosecutions that can trigger personal bankruptcy for owners or winding-up for companies.

This approach extracts revenue from the visible, relatively compliant segment of the economy while larger and more opaque players appear to operate with greater latitude. Bankruptcy and insolvency data illustrate the human and economic cost.

Under the Insolvency Act 1967, individual bankruptcies reached 6,776 new cases in 2025, up from 5,977 the previous year, bringing the cumulative total close to 100,000. Business-related causes form a meaningful share.

Roughly 1,121 cases linked to business loans and more than 1,300 involving entrepreneurs or merchants. Company liquidations provide a closer proxy for formal SMEs. Forced winding-ups registered about 1,739 cases in 2025, with voluntary proceedings adding another 781.

Since 2018, the combined figure has exceeded 20,000. The Companies Commission of Malaysia recorded 3,277 companies with winding-up status in 2024. Department of Statistics Malaysia figures show 28,924 enterprise deaths in 2024 alone.

The demonstration, led by Aero Sentinel’s chief pilot Or Shabat and reported via a social post by the company’s chief marketing officer, Ofir Avram, took place in highly complex terrain under challenging GPS-denied conditions. 

According to reports in the Defence Blog, an independent defence and security outlet, Avram stated that the trial “delivered outstanding results, exceeding all expectations and proving the system’s reliability and operational effectiveness where it matters most.” 

When this technology becomes fully operational with Thai security forces, it will probably be employed in the deep south (Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat) against local insurgents operating in the region. Attacks in the deep south have grown more intense and violent over recent months, with many Thai military servicemen and paramilitary personnel killed in insurgency assaults. 

The new Israeli-designed and built drone surveillance systems would have clear practical applications against the militant groups active across the region. Aero Sentinel systems have previously been used by Israel for sensitive intelligence missions during its 2025 military campaign against Iranian targets, aimed at identifying high-value targets. 

There are also stories that the system has been used in Ukraine against Russian forces. The uniqueness of the Aero Sentinel platform lies in its ability to operate without GPS signals (using capabilities such as visual navigation via onboard cameras), surveil large areas, and function effectively in contested or jammed environments. 

Such a system, if deployed against insurgents who rely on surprise attacks in difficult terrain, could prove highly effective.

GRS, THE RECORDS ARE IN YOUR HANDS: PUBLISH THE FELDA LAND AGREEMENTS AND TELL SABAHANS WHAT WE ACTUALLY RECEIVED

Borneo’s Plight in Malaysia Foundation (BoPiMaFo) calls upon the GRS-led Sabah Government to finally disclose the full history, present status and benefits arising from the enormous areas of Sabah land placed under FELDA development.

We want to make one point absolutely clear from the beginning. We are not accusing the present GRS Government of making the original decision in 1979.

The historical record shows that on 4 December 1979, the Sabah Government entered into an agreement with the Federal Land Development Authority (FELDA) under which approximately 247,000 acres were to be developed with cocoa and oil palm over ten years.

The stated purpose was to open settlement schemes, eradicate poverty and improve the living standards of Sabah’s rural population. The Chief Minister of Sabah at that time was Datuk Harris Mohd Salleh. Official Sabah records confirm that Harris was Chief Minister in 1979.

That is history.

Our question today is directed at GRS: YOU DID NOT MAKE THE 1979 DECISION — BUT YOU GOVERN SABAH TODAY. WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT IT?

The present State Government cannot simply say: “That happened under a previous government.” Hundreds of thousands of acres of Sabah land do not disappear from the responsibility of the State Government merely because governments change.

The land remains in Sabah. The titles and leases should be recorded in Sabah.

According to the traditional account, the surviving Christian men were presented with a choice: renounce Christianity and embrace Islam, or die. Around eight hundred refused, and on August 14 they were taken to a hill outside the city and executed.

At the time, this was about much more than one small Italian city. Constantinople had fallen only twenty-seven years earlier, and the Ottoman Empire was advancing deeper into the Mediterranean and southeastern Europe.

The sultan behind that expansion was Mehmed II, remembered to history as Mehmed the Conqueror. He was still only twenty-one years old when he captured Constantinople in 1453. 

The Siege Begins

According to the decree later issued by the Vatican’s Congregation for the Causes of Saints, the Ottoman fleet approached Otranto on July 28, 1480, carrying roughly 15,000 men aboard around 140 vessels. The city’s Aragonese defenses were badly stretched because troops from the Kingdom of Naples were committed elsewhere in Italy. 

The Ottomans demanded surrender. Otranto refused. What followed was roughly two weeks of bombardment as Ottoman artillery battered the city’s defenses until, on August 12, the attackers finally broke through.

Wannabe Arab

The central PAS ulama council said the Federal Court's decision showed that the Kedah government had exhausted the legal avenues and powers available to it to stop issuing and renewing licences for gambling premises.

"In view of the court's decision that the actual power to eradicate gambling lies with federal laws, the burden and responsibility now fall entirely on the shoulders of voters." All Muslims must realise that their votes will determine whether this vice continues to be protected by federal legislation, or it can be completely eradicated from its roots.

‘Why didn’t PAS end gambling when in govt?’

Responding to Nor, DAP Youth national secretary Lim Chun Weng challenged PAS to explain why the party did not end gambling when it was part of the federal government and held ministerial posts, including the religious affairs portfolio.

Lim said gambling remains prohibited for Muslims, but accused PAS of using religion to suggest that support for the party was tied to a Muslim’s faith. “Muslims remain prohibited from gambling under religious law and syariah law.

“PAS should not twist the court’s decision to give the impression that voting for PAS is a measure of a person’s faith,” said Lim, who pointed out that PAS vice-president Idris Ahmad served as religious affairs minister from August 2021 to October 2022.

“If it is true that Muslims are obliged to vote for PAS so that the party can control Putrajaya and put an end to gambling, why was this not done when PAS was in the federal government and even held the religious affairs portfolio?” he questioned.

GreenKucing1640 : This is another reason why we should never vote for pas. I do not gamble but there's no need for pas to tell me what I can or cannot do. Mind your own business

Veteran 1972 : "Suka jaga tepi kain orang". So much of maksiat in your states, yet sibuk tentang bukan Islam. Just look at the Tabung Haji scandal, the cat got your tongues. The greatest of hypocrites are your people. 

One of the most famous quotes about hypocrisy is by French writer François de La Rochefoucauld: "Hypocrisy is the homage that vice pays to virtue." This means that dishonest people pretend to be good because virtue is still valued by society. "The only vice that cannot be forgiven is hypocrisy. The repentance of a hypocrite is itself hypocrisy."

We Have A Country To Save : End Gamblimg promote Corruption. Maybe you shud stop serving alcohol in Langkawi. Close all the hotels in Kedah that serve alcohol. Maybe you shud learn how to manage Tabung Haji first and BTW Tabung Haji was bailed out by non Muslim taxpayers money who drink alcohol, eat pork and also gamble. 

You should stage a protest that the money shud be returned. You are welcome to go back to the Stone Age and travel on Camels. But best for you to mind your own business. Take care of your people. Don’t worry about the non Muslims. Whether we gamble, drink alcohol or consume pork, we can take care of ourselves.

From Fujisawa protests to sweeping new policies under Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, a country once seen as politically quiet is entering a new era defined by identity, social cohesion, and resistance to outside pressure. 

As birth rates collapse and public opinion hardens, Japan is making a choice few developed nations have dared to make: preserve its culture, even at the cost of economic decline. It is a high trust society not willing to become a low trust society. Japan is saving itself. 

We should all follow their lead. The West shows you what happens when politicians ignore their own people and flood their country with levels of immigration that nobody voted for.

What do you expect from penunggang agama? It's their level for avoiding their responsibilities. 

4D lottery outlets in Kedah are now legally cleared to reopen. The Federal Court of Malaysia officially dismissed the Kedah state government’s application to appeal a previous ruling that declared its ban on gaming and lottery operators unconstitutional. This landmark decision marks the end of the state’s blanket ban on pool betting, allowing 4D operators to restart the licensing process. 

The RCI revealed that Tabung Haji frequently overpaid for stakes in companies without proper due diligence or written justifications. They acquired large equity positions in underperforming or politically connected entities at premiums well above internal research valuations. While these massive cash injections temporarily inflated the stock prices of those specific companies.

JHEV visiting a Veteran formerly of 4 Rangers in Ipoh this morning. Mostly MACVA members my Brother In Law Choo Kam Meng ex navy invited me to attend with him. My wife too as her uncle is a PGB. 

My late father served in British Army 1949-1963. Continue his service Malaysia Army till 1981. Retired as RSM. About 1st and 2nd Malayan Emergency i had full information and knowledge. My uncle from my father and mother, are in army , Engineers Corps , Ordnance Corps and Malay Regiment. 

I know a Soldier who served in the Malaysian Emergency and also Vietnam. He told me that the Malaysian Emergency was worse than Vietnam. I hasten to add that he was an Infantryman. I’ve been to Malaysia many times and there is never any mention of British rule. I think that is a positive thing, they look forward, not back. 

What good would it do to fester over the past? A good documentary, but it might have been more balanced if some Malays had been interviewed. Itwas sad to learn that our troops were involved in a massacre, and I wouldn’t dream of defending it, but apart from the killing of the 3 British planters and the Governor, nothing was said about communist atrocities. 

It implied they were none, I very much doubt it. The fact is, the ethnic Malays did not rise up against the British, because it was a Chinese insurgency.  Some ethnic Malays didn’t regard the ethnic Chinese as true citizens of Malaya. It’s a divide that still exists to this day.

Together with judges Collin Lawrence Sequerah and Azmi Ariffin, the bench also ordered the state government to pay RM50,000 in costs, according to Free Malaysia Today. The decision upholds a Court of Appeal majority ruling that found Kedah’s policy of refusing to renew gambling-related business licences unconstitutional for encroaching on federal powers.

On the Other Hand : Didn't Hadi say that corruption is fine? How holy is PAS, really?

Mechi : Corruption (& lack of integrity) is one of our biggest problems not gambling. Get this right. PAS need to address corruption issues hard before it spreads to every strata.

MarioT : A landmark ruling to uphold the Federal Constitution.

Turnedback : Kedah MB , luck always with us, walk in to buy jack pot , looking forward to be the next millionaire through legal means, not Sakau any tax payers money.

Malaysiakini : 'Heartbroken' with PKR, Wong Chen marks new move with Bersama By Alyaa Alhadjri. Former Subang MP Wong Chen has officially joined Bersama today after 17 years as a PKR member.

Speaking at a press conference at Bersama’s party headquarters in Puchong, Wong (above, second from right) described his decision to leave PKR and vacate the Subang parliamentary seat as “heartbreaking” but necessary under the anti-party hopping provisions.

“I am excited to join this party,” said Wong, who cited a list of “personal insults” to his career while in government and his professional background as a corporate lawyer as a reason for his departure.

Specifically, Wong alluded to his removal as the non-executive chairperson of Malaysia Debt Ventures (MDV) in May, despite leading the GLC under the Finance Ministry back to profitability during his three-year tenure. “They removed me in five days. I took that as a personal insult. There was no explanation given,” he said.

Veteran 1972 : Calling the People's Justice Party (such as Malaysia's Parti Keadilan Rakyat, or PKR) an oxymoron is a political critique. It suggests a contradiction between the lofty ideal of serving the public ("People's") and fair treatment ("Justice") versus the reality of partisan or family-centered politics ("Party"). 

Well done PMX, everyone was trying to destroy PKR. Congratulations, you have done it all on your own! No outsider help needed.

BlueShark1548 : Congratulations Wong Chen and welcome to Bersama.Hope you guys will make an impact in GE16.Look forward and forget your past with PKR, a party lead by a selfish man who has no vision for the nation except for the PM post.

WhiteMoose0037 : You have made the right decision to resign and join BERSAMA. You will not regret it, as it is the right thing to do if you want to remain a politician. Anyway, PKR is a sinking ship, and its survival rests with DAP.

Kecik Mayong : Wonder who advices Anwar these days. He made much better decisions when Rafizi was with with him. When the father and daughter took over PKR, the party has been going downhill all the way...

On the Other Hand : We need politicians like Rafizi, Nazmi, and Wong Chen to lead us out of the fake reformasi, and also away from the incompetent but greedy rightwing of racists and religious bigots.

Former economy minister Rafizi Ramli said the UJSB Sukuk Series 1, which matured on May 29, involved RM12.5 billion that the government should have redeemed through cash or assets of equivalent value. "However, of the RM12.5 billion that needed to be settled, only RM965 million was in the form of property, namely a plot of land in TRX and plantation land in Sarawak.

“The remaining RM11.5 billion was settled in the form of another new sukuk, which will mature in 10 years, meaning the government will have to pay Tabung Haji RM11.5 billion in 2036," the Bersama co-leader said in a statement.

Rafizi said that the financial restructuring of Tabung Haji approved by the government at the end of 2018 depended on the government’s ability and compliance in fulfilling its financial commitments to Tabung Haji when they are due.

Under the arrangement, he said the federal government took over Tabung Haji’s loss-making assets through wholly government-owned Urusan Jamaah Sdn Bhd (UJSB), which then issued two series of sukuk to Tabung Haji.

He added that the government was then expected to replace these with cash or assets of equivalent value when they matured in 2026 and 2029, respectively.

Focus under RCI report

Rafizi said that these matters are the focus of the Royal Commission of Inquiry report on Tabung Haji, which also highlighted several other points.

"The move to transfer Tabung Haji’s troubled assets and replace them with a sukuk instrument on paper, without cash flow, was a temporary measure, solely to enable Tabung Haji’s reserves to become positive and allow it to continue paying hibah (profits).

"The government needed to make allocations from its annual budget to ensure its commitments were fulfilled when they fell due, namely in 2026 and 2029.

"Assets held on paper through sukuk instruments made Tabung Haji’s assets and annual income accrued from the sukuk appear better, but this remained dependent on whether cash or equivalent assets were injected back to replace these paper assets when they matured," he listed.

Over RM17b approved in 2019

Rafizi said the government had approved at least RM17.8 billion on April 5, 2019, during former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad's administration to cover the shortfall in the redemption of UJSB sukuk.

The commitment was subsequently continued under the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP) during Ismail Sabri Yaakob’s administration and, he believed, under Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim thereafter, through the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP).

“However, the financial commitment to restore Tabung Haji in accordance with the recovery plan under UJSB does not appear to have been honoured.

“So far, only RM500 million has been paid to Tabung Haji to redeem the UJSB sukuk,” Rafizi said, citing the RCI’s findings.

Rafizi added that the RM1.5 billion allocation approved under Budget 2021, during Perikatan Nasional's administration, was also not paid to Tabung Haji, with the government citing the need to use the funds for economic recovery following the Covid-19 pandemic.

He said billions of ringgit were subsequently allocated for projects under Jana Wibawa, some of which were later investigated over alleged corrupt practices, while part of the allocation had been committed to Tabung Haji.

“Throughout my time as economy minister, I recall that the government had allocated more than RM1 billion a year to settle this UJSB sukuk when it matured on May 29 this year,” Rafizi added.

He then urged the government to provide a frank explanation during tomorrow’s parliamentary debate on where the billions of ringgit allocated over the years to restore Tabung Haji had gone to.

“If the current and future governments continue to defer their commitment to redeem the UJSB sukuk into the future by continuing to replace one debt instrument with a new one, Tabung Haji will continue to face the risk of asset liquidity and cash flow problems in the future,” he warned.

Francis T Rozario : The money going to this bailout is peoples money. Why should those who benefit nothing be made to bail out Tabung Haji? Shouldn't Haji money come out of the pockets of Muslims, their own money, to finance their religious obligations? 

Why should taxes from non-Muslims go towards this end? There is a lot of talk about what is halal and not halal, looks like it is not halal only when they decide it's not to their benefit or are we non-Muslims now being made to pay "jizya", the taxing of non-Muslims in an Islamic state? 

We have to bear in mind that we are not an Islamic State; we are a secular country, and that is what the Constitution states. In the first place, Tabung Haji was set up with people's money; now that it has been "mismanaged" the term used to account for the huge losses, people's money is being used again.

In a Facebook statement, Wong said he will hold a press conference this Wednesday regarding the matter. He added that he will also be removing his MP honorific title from all of his service centre billboards, signages and correspondence by next month.

"On Aug 5, I met with the speaker and handed over my resignation letter as MP, effective Aug 10 at 5pm," he said, referring to Dewan Rakyat speaker Johari Abdul.

"This was to allow parliamentary officers three working days to prepare for the vacancy of the Subang parliamentary seat. We had a gentleman's agreement not to release any details until Aug 10 at 5pm," he added.

H2O : Top guns had resigned, it shows how rotten is pkr today.

apanama is back : Good move, Wong Chen. At least you are detached from that fake reformist. Now focus on how you want to move forward. I am sure Subang folks will vote for you again, this time under a different party in GE16. 

A friendly reminder: don't use the word "reform" anymore. Come up with a better version of what you're going to do. Do not promise something you can't fulfil at a later date. Best wishes and good luck to you. "Anak sendiri pun sudah lari keluar!"

The cabinet of former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin’s backdoor government decided as early as August 2020 to establish a royal commission of inquiry into Tabung Haji’s affairs. The commission was established the following July.

The report was presented to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s cabinet in December 2022, but was withheld to prevent public alarm.

So, for over 40 months, those who allegedly dipped their fingers in the till, those who paid themselves excessive bonuses, those who approved the investments – the beneficiaries of the creative accounting practices were allowed to roam free and enjoy the fruits of their ill-gotten gains. 

DNAA for Zahid over 47 corruption charges against public interest, court told

BlueJaguar0861 : salam semua, lama tak share my thoughts. just a quick one; look at 1MDB X TABUNG HAJI. It tell you so much about who is involved - BUMNO

MarioT : The modus operandi employed by all these GLCs, is self service first and if there is a shortfall, the government will come to the rescue with hard earned taxpayers money even if it is from 'haram' sources. 

It has been the trend with crony management where accountability and honest accounting practisesl are almost non existent. This RCI is released now as sort of trump card for political reasons but has come too late to gain any upper hand. 

UMNO the culprit for all these mismanagement and accounting fraud, still remains a strong political force due to Anwar's failure to bring about the reformation he promised. If PH loses its support in GE16, the opposition led by UMNO will gain control to repeat past financial looting. 

Anwar must admit his performance and control of his own party has shown weaknesses. Any GLC that fails to perform, should not be rescued. Anwar should go against the current to plug corruption and commit to prison all those who have plundered the country. Reform the system and bring about meritocracy.

MS : You ask why Nades, so I’ll tell you why. In Madanistan, corruption was quickly weaponized to go after political enemies or otherwise used as a bargaining chip to reap dividends like “stability / unity” to ensure the longevity of the regime. 

The prosecution of Muhyidin et al, the cold storaging of the TH RCI report and the inexplicable dropping of all 47 charges against a shady politician embraced by the zero tolerance fellow all point to that. Corruption by and in itself is not a bad thing for the Madani Man. 

It is an untapped asset to be used to secure political and other benefits. It is only bad when those indulging in it have little or no respect for Dear Leader.

Koel : As citizens and taxpayers of this country, all we can see is the failure of the govt, political parties, agencies and units sworn to protect the country. A primary point in the last election manifesto was to address corruption, and what do we have here? 

A report submitted in 2022 alleged that crook and criminals in TH were falsifying accounts and getting paid huge bonuses. Why were they allowed to continue in their positions till 2026? Police reports should have been lodged in 2022 and they should have been removed from office immediately. 

And what is being done now with these treasonous types? If the home ministry, crime investigation units and courts of law fail to take principled steps to stop the abuse of public funds, there is no hope for Malaysia's ongoing struggle with corruption in high offices. 

In which country do we see 3 ex PMs being dragged to court on corruption charges, with at least one facing multiple charges. As a country we have to wonder how we have also been responsible for this shameful reality by voting for these questionable types. 

Looks like all it takes is a timely 2R slogan and some promise of goodies to firget about the country. But is the 2R slogan merely a euphemism for draining the country's coffers? Stealing from the people has become an entitled and arrogant way forward for some parties. 

And this probably continues because these real enemies of the state are getting off scotfree for several reasons including a system that appears to be very forgiving of the wealthy, the titled or the connected. And that is not justice or democracy, it is a system to keep entitled crooks in power.

Dr Suresh Kumar : It took a Chinese finance minister to rehabilitate TH and protect its depositor savings yet he was vilified. According to the RCI's 200 over page report, TH administrators and management team manipulated and showed a profit of RM3.4 billion through creative accounting, while TH had incurred a loss of RM1.4 billion, despite a consultant warning TH in 2017 that the dividend and profit that they showed was actually from its reserve and not from actual profit. 

Why did the management ignore the warning? It's because of the 2018 GE, to dupe the mass. You do not need a rocket scientist to tell you why. Therefore, political influence too had a hand in the cover up. Here is the kicker; despite facing severe financial crisis and bleeding billions, TH gave generous bonus to its staff, some even recieved 13 months bonus. 

This is not a random institution but a religious financial institution trusted by Malaysian Muslims. Be reminded, when the government bails it out it's going to use taxpayers' monies. As a tax payer I reserve the right to question TH as they did not ask my permission when they gave a guarantee to TH's depositors. 

Meanwhile Anwar in his statement recently said that " a religious institution, an Islamic institution brought to shame by Malays who were given the trust. To me, that breach of trust is treachery". Anwar feels it is treachery only in 2026 when TH was actually losing money since 2014 and released the report only after for 4 years, just before the NS state election. 

Can you see how the Chameleon takes the people for fools. They are now going after some ikan bilis to show that they are serious about curbing corruption and mismanagement but as usual all the ikan paus go scot free and enjoy the har-am money while the majority race turn a blind eye, is happy with the har-am money that they recieved and move on. Que sera, sera!

While leaders often blame foreign powers, the real truth is far more uncomfortable. This video counts down the seven self-inflicted wounds holding back two billion people—and reveals the single most destructive force quietly destroying their future from within. 

The $5 Trillion Mystery. Stop Blaming the West. Why You Can't Ask Questions. Ignoring Half the People. Why the Wars Never End. Losing Our Smartest Minds, really happening in Malaysia. Where Did the Money Go? No Future for the Young. The Enemy is Inside.

Anwar wolf in sheep's clothing - Daim

- Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, circa 2019

COMMENT | I keep reading all these commentaries that if Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim carried out the structural reforms he promised, Harapan would not be getting the thrashing it is getting now.

This may sound comforting, but the reality is that this is about power and the perception of power, and Anwar gave his away to Umno. The only reason that Umno/BN is in ascendancy is that Anwar enabled it.

Veteran 1972 : One of the most analytic write ups on the "Wolf In Sheep's Clothing". You cannot be disappointed by the Commander's insight on PMX, de wolf.

daniel : Commander, it was all about becoming PMX at all costs. He was never the reformist PH made him out to be - only standing behind the fragmented groups of people with different agendas and ideas of change. He just took advantage of the black eye to become the face of reformasi. 

All the hue and cry about corruption, leader for all races, went out the window because he convinced everyone that he has to form the government to carry out the reforms and to do that he needed to rope in umno. The rest is history...

BlueShark1548 : Commander keep writing on Anwar's mistakes,weaknesses and chameleon character.We need to bury this man who has turned out to be the worst PM in our history.Why? 

He and his daughter put out a burning light of Malay leaders leading the nation out of race and religion policies into the bright light of a Malaysia for all Malaysians with equal rights subject to our constitution. 

We have lost this opportunity. Anwar has allowed the ascendency of UMNO and PN. We are back to the decades of disunity and fertile grounds where corruption and cronyism thrive.Really sad. The minimum NMs could do is to reject PKR and DAP for this lost opportunity at GE16.

Rat Catcher : Anwar was exUMNO and still has its DNA. He knows how it operates and it is well aware of what's happening. Malays will continue to control everything. DAP has either been hoodwinked or foolish or perhaps both to trust him completely. 

Their only salvation is to pull out of government and keep some of their dignity and support. Too much has been sacrificed. PMX's own party is falling apart and even the daughter wants to quit her post. The writing is on the wall. 

UMNO will return as government in the next election together with PAS. Back to the old days of patronage, cronyism and widespread milking of the nation's resources.

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!

50 MILLION MUSLIMS LEAVE ISLAM In ONE Country...The TRUTH About "ISLAM'S GROWTH"

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.

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.

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.

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.
