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.

Sad Dick Kunt

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!

Responding to a question from Doris Sophia Brodi (GPS-Sri Aman) on claims that federal allocations to states were unfair and insufficient, Anwar labelled such accusations as “baseless” with his convoluted logic

Commenting further, Anwar listed the average contributions of peninsula states to the federal government and the allocations returned to them from 2023 to 2025:

• Selangor contributed RM43.6 billion, received RM15 billion

• Johor contributed RM14 billion, received RM16 billion

• Penang contributed RM10.7 billion, received RM7.9 billion

• Kedah contributed RM3.7 billion, received RM9.5 billion

• Terengganu contributed RM2.4 billion (including RM1.2 billion from petroleum royalties), received RM7.8 billion

• Kelantan contributed RM946 million, received RM8.9 billion

• Perlis contributed RM419 million, received RM2.2 billion

Anwar noted the amount Johor received was higher than what Selangor received.

Fair Player : Anwar's strategies in these states allocations are all wrong and the voters will show him the exit door in GE16.

Just Common Sense : So Anwar govt obviously being unfair to Selangor and Penang. But he is too blind to see.

apanama is back : "Lembu (Penang and Selangor) punya susu, sapi (Perlis, Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu and Johor) dapat nama."

With Hadi playing 3R extensively and extremely, his party's states are generously awarded. Now everyone knows why I used to mentioned, "Malaysian taxpayers are generous, hapless and helpless." 

Those coming from that four PAS run states will send back the money to their states and this Madani will generously 'kasi lagi manyak duit sama dia orang.' Cantik. Later undilah PAS. 

😂 Anwar, being generous and magnanimous in the name of pandering has its limitation even though you may mention about flood mitigation project and others but you should not do it at the expenses of Penang and Selangor taxpayers. 

What I can say is your balancing act in this allocation process is not correct and proper. What will happen if PN comes into power and further reduced the allocation for Penang and Selangor if those two states are run by your coalition. You had laid a weak and wrong foundation.

The Sabah One : LIAR !!!!

Buffoon

The Machang MP also pointed out that Harapan had previously ridiculed GST when it was introduced during the administration of former premier Najib Abdul Razak, but argued that this should not prevent it from reviving the tax.

“(The government) doesn’t have to be shy about re-introducing GST, despite it being (mocked) before, with the song ‘ABCD-GST’.

“Perhaps it can be named as ‘Cukai Madani’ and at a lower rate of three percent,” he told the Dewan Rakyat in response to Economy Minister Akmal Nasrullah Nasir’s explanation regarding the global supply crisis triggered by the United States-Iran conflict.

Veteran 1972 : Remember this was the "Bright Bulb" who suggested printing more money? God save us from buffoons.

mosquitobrain : GST was implemented during Najin reign not to help the nation economically but to cover the heavy loses due to massive corruption and 1MDB.money laundering debacles.

Geram : Actually, GST is good for the Nation. Everyone pays the same tax. At the moment, 85% tax are paid by the nons and the others pay zakat and God knows where the money gone to.

Koel : When will the opposition start lobbying for the removal of pensions for the public sector? Introduce EPF schemes for the public sector. By 2030, the pensions for the civil service alone will cost the country more than 40 billion. 

How is the opposition addressing this concern? When will the opposition call for the income tax dept to immediately take over assets of all those past and present in public offices who have not paid their taxes? The Razak family might bear some scrutiny here. What they owe the country apparently is in the billions. 

How is the opposition addressing this? How many others similarly fail in their patriotism and duty to the country? What is the opposition doing to ferret this information out and to call for such parties to prove their loyalty to this country? What about corruption in public offices and auditors' reports. 

Has the opposition lodged police reports or lobbied for persons to be removed from public offices, agencies and departments where corruption and leakages of public funds have been published? What concrete actions has the opposition taken in their roles on such matters? 

Fayshal, instead of empty politicking, provide the country with some proof of your competence and capability in addressing the biggest problems in thus country that is impoverishing the country and its people. 

Any smart aleck can sit in a cushy seat wearing expensive suits and issue schoolboyish comments to taunt. It takes competence, courage, intelligence and maturity to address real problems. So far, we have no evidence of that from your corner.

What Is The Lesson From Having Been Stabbed In The Back?

The Johor polls are indicative. Nominations were made on June 27, and elections will be on July 11; projections are being bandied about.

But one thing stands out like a sore thumb - PAS and Umno are working together like they have not in a very long time.

This is exemplified by PAS-led coalition Perikatan Nasional’s decision not to contest in 23 state seats (out of 56), widely described as a major boon for BN. PAS is contesting a mere 11 seats under PN, which is contesting 33 in all.

Bagavatham : The present political scenario must come to an end in my opinion. What is truly needed is for young and vibrant people to lead the country and l feel Party Bersama has that lead which is brave and honest in their agenda which the rakyat should seriously look at. Now is 2026 and a change must take place if not we will be back to square one. Enough is enough. The rakyat should wake up.

Baba Quay : True on most of your well said comments. But I would like to give Rafizi the opportunity to lead us. Besides our beloved Tengku and Hussein Onn, I feel he is the next most suitable person to be a PM for all Malaysians. 

In any case, truly, we have had enough of these old farts running the country. Our situation is so dire that even a disgraced centenarian still feels he can be a PM!! Let's give our young people a chance to govern our country. It's no coincidence that countries like Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Tamil Nadu have now elected leaders under 50 years of age. Look no further - the Singapore PM is only 52 years old.

Nature : When you disturb 130 years old heritage.. God Maha Patrikaliamman, then you hv to face the retribution...karma for PM.

Coward : Good highlight of what a lot of NM are thinking. We had progressed from the fear that PN will take over in GE15 to resigning to the fact that it is likely to be a reality in GE16, and now to the realisation that may be this is the opportunity, and the price to pay, to kick PH and Anwar in the hope of rekindling the next wave of reformasi in future elections. 

It also appears to be the time to bide the time to groom alternatives such as Bersama, and re-evaluate the situation again when election comes again. Who can Anwar and DAP blame? Themselves. Even after taking into account ruling coalition normally lose some support in their first term, the decline in support they see today cannot be completely explained by this excuse.

PAS Hadi Awang Listed As Terrorist & Banned By Saudi Arabia, Egypt, UAE And Bahrain For Promoting Terrorism Through The Exploitation Of Islamic Discourse

He argued that just as ablution becomes compulsory when required for prayer, voting becomes even more obligatory when non-Muslims can elect non-Muslim leaders or when those who betray Islam and the Muslim community could come to power.  

“(Malay Muslims) are obliged to reject non-Muslims who are extreme in opposing Islam and who are planning to seize control of the nation, joining forces with Malays who are liberal and who have no love for their own religion and their own people,” he added.

Average citizen : A politician masquerading as a preacher. Don’t be fooled ; he’s desperate for political power and not interested in the welfare of the masses. Please look back at his track record or lack of it during his tenure as the Menteri Besar of Terengganu.

VP Biden : This must be the halal n non halal waste the Selangor gomen wants to separate,some waste has escaped to Terengganu unfortunately!

Only truth : MIPP and Dominic lau after reading Hadis statement about the Bible and Christianity do you still want to hold the hands of pas The malay version of Hadis statements should be heavily reprimanded Any Indian or Chinese will you vote for this guys party pas after what he said

Nature : Hadi, let's talk about Jana Wibawa, 170mil Ismail Sabri, Najib, Moodin SIL, A47 Zahid., yr ex-ME envoy Minister post.....not forgetting yr attendance in parliament.

GoldenHamster7524 : This man is a hateful extremist, full of hate speech, downright racist and a clear threat to harmony in Malaysia. Why is he allowed to spew his garbage without any interference by the authorities?

Was a must for promotion exams - Captain to Major (Malaysian Army)

In 1945, he commanded the largest Commonwealth army of the war, won the greatest British land victory of the Second World War, and destroyed more Japanese soldiers than any other Allied commander in any theatre. 

His reward? The Supreme Commander's headquarters tried to sack him. This is the story of how Slim built the Fourteenth Army from the wreckage of the longest retreat in British military history, won the battles of Imphal and Kohima (voted Britain's Greatest Battle ahead of D-Day and Waterloo). 

Conducted the masterpiece of operational maneuver that captured Rangoon, and was nearly removed from command at the moment of his greatest triumph — while Lord Mountbatten took the credit from a headquarters 1,500 miles away.

After dropping diesel prices, next maybe cutting crony corporate profits of soaring medical insurance fees? I used to support Harapan, used to go to their ceramahs in the rain. But Anwar has been a big disappointment. He took non-Malay votes as fixed deposit & did nothing about racists like Akmal, thinking we have nobody else to vote for since PAS is worse. 

Well hello! Now we do – it's called Bersama. They managed to come up with 15 good candidates after just 40 days of setting up. They are a mix of professionals, corporates & businessmen, many have ALSO been social activists. What a combination. They are self-made people who don't depend on politics to make money. 

This talent pool was missed by the older parties but captured by Bersama thanks to innovative online recruitment. No warlords like ketua bahagian lobbying or sabotage. That's why they are taking on 8 seats held by Umno & 5 seats held by DAP (plus 2 by PKR & Muda). 

So don't say they are only taking away non-Malay seats. Imagine what Bersama can do after 6 or 12 months? We need more progressive options to pressure Harapan to do the right thing. Bcos for past 3.5 years Umno has been pulling Harapan by the nose ring 🐮 the wrong way. What about the Islamic State scare tactic? 

Well, FOUR DAP State Excos approved unfair restrictions on churches & temples in Selangor. It took just ONE Team Rafizi MP, Lee Chean Chung of PJ, to expose it, raise public outrage & force the state government to reverse it. Bersama will selectively support Harapan on key issues - NO to Islamic State, YES to curbing the disease of “political donations” (which led to 1MDB & Harapan has failed to reform this). 

But any support won't be a Blank Cheque, unlike what DAP gives Anwar, or what Anwar gave Ummo only for the snake to turn around & bite Harapan in Johor & N9. Anwar weakened Harapan by compromising on reforms & now Umno attacks. Padan muka. Rafizi & Nik Nazmi have proven they are not greedy to be Ministers (they willingly resigned), only greedy for Real Reforms. 

So please give the little Kancil a boost in Johor to grow. There's little risk & maybe a lot to gain later. Don't worry, you can always return to vote for tainted Anwar & his Parti Kroni Reformasi plus Diam Action Party later in the general elections la.

Within days, a group calling itself “Solidariti Bersama Datuk Najib” launched a donation drive, and party loyalists even pledged personal jewellery to fund his defence.

darmakochi : "Najib’s son, Nizar, likened his father’s imprisonment to that of South African anti-apartheid leader Nelson Mandela" Hahahaha! What a ridiculous comparison !!

WhiteTurtle1333 : Now Najib's name a liability to umno. They dare not voice out because of election in Johor N9 GE16.

GreenGiraffe9044 : You got to be kidding me to compare najib to Nelson Mandela. Nelson Mandela was jailed because he defended his people from apartheid. 

Najib is deservingly jailed because he stole from the rakyat! Nizar don’t illogically defend your father. Use some brains, whatever is left of it. Your father is not God, but god of the kleptocratics, yes.

On the Other Hand : His daughter benefited from a plum position as Director of MaTrade despite no experience or qualifications no support that appointment. The entire family has yet to pay a cent of the billions owed in taxes. 

He has yet to pay a cent in the fines the Courts ordered him to pay. There is no evidence that he is sitting in a cell like other prisoners, in Kajang prison. He gets visitors who serve him crème caramel. Treat him like other criminals are treated, and only then would justice be served.

PurpleDragon0476 : Please don’t be fooled for even one microsecond, Mr Nades. BN’s 64th shadow manifesto pledge is to unconditionally release Najid. He still shows no remorse. 

And his corrupt daughter Nooryana won’t stop trying to get a royal pardon for him, either. The recent silence from BN about the pencuri is only because it’s election season.

- All the King's Men by Robert Penn Warren

COMMENT | The upcoming Johor election will determine how the base is feeling about the DAP. All politics is local, of course, but rational Malaysians dissatisfied with how DAP has managed non-Malay issues in the era of Madani are going to see if their views are validated or rejected in this upcoming election.

Parti Bersama Malaysia, which is targeting five DAP seats, is going to discover if they have a chance of being part of the political process in this country or will they be consigned to the bin, merely a convenient online distraction.

WhitePony9855 : The Nons may be disappointed in Anwar's leadership and DAP's silence on many matters affecting the Nons. The fact that Anwar and PKR is seeking Malay support is understandable but it should not be done at the expense of the Nons. 

If that be the case then DAP appears to be a replica of MCA and MIC combined in a BN lead government. Johor will turned out to be a direction of how disappointed the Nons are with the PH performance this last 3.5 years. 

Though the situation in Johor cannot be compared to Sabah where DAP was totally rejected in view of the fact that in Sabah they have a local alternative in Warisan, it will still be a big test for DAP to convince the Nons to come out to vote. In Johor, the new party Bersama can also turned out to be spoilers.

Veteran 1972 : A staunch member of the Muslim Brotherhood should have no business leading Malaysia, Malaya maybe.

apanama is back : For DAP, it should reflect on what it did as far as minorities’ rights are concerned for the last 3 over years. DAP voters, especially Chinese voters are pragmatic. They will shift their votes based on what the party did previously. 

Let us explore the historical trend by Chinese voters. Chinese voters had abandoned both MCA and Gerakan when there is a viable alternative, which is DAP. Before Bersama is established, Chinese voters may not have an alternative yet, thus DAP took the Chinese voters for granted and play the fearmongering game of so-called Green Wave. 

It won’t work anymore. It is NO MORE a RANT. "The upcoming Johor election will determine how the base is feeling about the DAP." Look at the Sabah election. Of course, a lot of people will argue Sabah and Johor is not same. Go to the ground and see yourself in Johor. How many Chinese are volunteering for Bersama. 

The word of mouth is spreading fast. Moreover, tomorrow is the Federal Court verdict on Syed's case. He was acquitted by Court of Appeal with a strong judgement. Most probably the Federal Court will uphold the Court of Appeal decision because the ground judgement is strong. It will be another boost for MUDA. 

Let us reflect back the past seats won by DAP in Johor state assembly. DAP won 10 seats in 2022, and lost four. In this state election, DAP is going to contest 17 seats, defending the 10 seats it won in 2022. As the above piece mentioned, Bersama is targeting five DAP seats. 

The scenario for the non-Malay voters, especially Chinese voters is either they stay out of voting or they send protest votes even in the seats that is not contested by Bersama. DAP will not face total wipe out in Johor but it will get less than 10 seats. 

That should be a good slap on Anthony Loke’s face since “cool head” has been backfired into “hot slap.” Of course, DAP will be in denial until they get a biggest slap in GE 16.

However, what sits between those two points is larger than one politician or one allegation. It is a question Malaysia has never fully resolved in practice, even if it exists in constitutional principle: where is the real boundary between constitutional monarchy and political decision-making?

In theory, the structure is clear. A constitutional monarchy does not govern; it reigns. Executive power rests with elected leaders who command legislative confidence. The monarch acts within constitutional limits and established conventions.

As we are well aware, politics does not always live neatly inside theory, for it is in that gap, between principle and perception, that this controversy sits.

Only truth : Follow the Constitution strictly Say no to Umno and pas ( hand in glove partners)

ScarletShark1551 : Just get rid of UMNO for a better Malaysia

GP2025 : The people lost their constitutional stand when MPs chose to follow a royal suggestion to form a unity govt with Anwar as PM when there was no proof that he had the support of the majority. 

It was on that suggestion and the MoU he signed with parties obligated to follow the royal suggestion — when constitutionally they didn’t have to — that a confidence vote was passed to give legitimacy to that gov. But it wasn’t free vote and hence unconstitutional. 

In following the royal suggestion Anwar as PM-designate and the MPs who followed him sacrificed the democratic election of a PM and handed that power to the king. That was unconstitutional. 

Now, he can’t assert that constitutional authority because he gave it away. So we are having all these problems with the royals. The solution is that leaders need to find their confidence in acting according to the constitution and assert their authority when others don’t comply. 

That we are not seeing. We are only seeing them politicizing the issue and tip-toeing around the issue. The problem is the MPs.

Headhunter : I completely agree. Our constitutional system clearly calls for a separation of powers, without which everything could quickly spiral into chaos. That's what democracy is all about.

This is the Ugly Mug

Malaysiakini : COMMENT | Can anyone decide what rate of profits would be deemed fair and what would be profiteering?  A glass of coffee costs RM1.50 at the stalls, RM3.50 in a kopitiam or an Indian-Muslim restaurant, RM14 when served in a paper cup at one of the coffee chains, and RM25 in a five-star hotel.

Charging RM45 for a simple roti canai with dhal curry in a five star hotel is profiteering, plain and simple, but is acceptable by patrons, although the ingredients and preparation are identical, and consumers are burdened with inflated prices under the guise of luxury.

In Selangor, commercial establishments are charged RM2.94 per 1,000 litres of water - meaning one litre costs a fraction of a sen (0.00294 sen, to be precise).

Coward : It's Ng current type of over thinking that led to separation of rubbish and the place of worship issues. Instead of resolving the root cause, they are looking to hide and exploit it by wrapping it in a layer. There is no need to control prices in government own food courts in general. 

Price control is needed only in extreme circumstances, and should not be a routine tool. There is currently no demand for price control. Even if there was and there is a need, it is his job to make sure that those measures is not excessive. Instead, he is proposing to invent an excessive tool for a non existent problem.

Sealthedeal : Well said. The route cause is Islamic extremism and denial of non Muslims rights and freedoms. It must stop!

Knucklehead2 : DAP in Selangor has become a failure factory — endlessly parroting “working for the rakyat” while serving up boot‑licking drama. 

Who are they really working for? Certainly not the rakyat. If Bersama can rock the boat and rid us of these distractions, it will be a service to the people far greater than Ng’s headlines.

Malaysia has five armored regiments, the first four regiments are equipped with Ferret scout cars, 4 x 4 Radpanzer Condors and 6 x 6 fire support vehicles known as Sibmas. All these vehicles are wheeled.

The fifth regiment is equipped with Scorpions, which have been modified with 90 mm guns, adversely affecting the performance of these vehicles. For the assault troops in this regiment they ride in Stormers.

The gunnery systems do not have stabilisers which are used to lock on, while on the move, and hit the target. All the vehicles in this regiment are tracked.

The Scorpion is not a tank, as a lot of people have been led to believe. In it's original form it is known as a 'Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance' or in it's abbreviated form known as a CVR. So Malaysia does not have any tanks in it's inventory. Period !

The Malaysian army has three Mechanized Infantry Battalions, two are wheeled and one is tracked, there are plans to have them all converted to tracked vehicles at some point. The 19th Battalion Royal Malay Regiment, was wheeled when it was blooded in Somalia. Mechanized infantry are soldiers who fight dismounted from the objective, beyond the objective and on the objective.

Sometimes there is no need to dismount. The armor the infantry rides in, are known as Armored Personnel Carriers, due to the evolving nature of warfare, they are currently known as Infantry Fighting Vehicles, though all are not in the same class.

Commonly the vehicles are abbreviated to IFV's. These vehicles are vulnerable to other larger calibre guns. If a hit is scored on an IFV, a whole section of men are lost, meaning 10 soldiers may die. Mechanized infantry does not operate alone as it is very vulnerable, therefore it operates with tank regiments, in small groups known as combat teams and larger groups known as battle groups.

Tanks provide firepower and shock action, the mechanized infantry provide what the normal infantry provide except that they have their own fire systems, have armour protection and they ride into battle. Warfare has evolved, situations in a battlefield are fluid, no more is holding ground essential unless for needs of delay or deception.

Now we come to the unhappiness of writers related to the buying of tanks. We have a responsibility towards our soldiers to provide the best fighting equipment, so that they live to fight another day. War is hell.

In fact the tanks we are buying cannot be compared to the M1 A2 Abrams (USA), Leopard 2 (German), Le Clerc (French), Merkava (Israel) or the Challenger (British). Our officers and soldiers I am sure given the choice, would opt for American or German tanks. They come with some sophisticated gear, currently not in our inventory.

Tanks operate on a one shot, first kill and it normally takes a tank to kill a tank. In a combat team or battle group, tanks and mechanized infantry attack on a separate axis, same axis or a converging axis, they complement one another.

The tanks might be used to exploit the ground after an objective is taken, all this is subject to the situation. Of course they will be supported by other combat arms like the artillery, engineers, air defence and so forth. They can do this as they have good communications. The whole idea is to have minimum casualties and attain the best outcome.

The Malaysian Army doctrine is ' to evict an entrenched enemy' on Malaysian soil. Who or where will the threat come from we can only guess.

Let's look at our neighbours. Singapore has jet fighters stashed in Australia, Taiwan, USA and within the island . Singapore has French AMX main battle tanks which have been upgraded and 60 British Centurion main battle tanks.

The republic s armed forces are equipped with self propelled 155mm general support guns (range 55km), 120mm mortars and a array of other weapons. It has designed, built and currently trying to market it's version of an IFV.

They have hundreds of M113's, which are their current IFV's. The republic s armed forces conduct rehearsals towards south Johor on ramps in the Tebrau Straits. They have ordered Apache AH 64D attack helicopters, equipped with Longbow radar. These are primarily for ground targets.

The Longbow radar can search an area 50 sq km in less than 6 seconds and are the most advanced in the Pentagon inventory. Normally deployed as frontline tank busters. The south of Johor has vast golf courses, very nice beachheads for a battle group to gain a foothold.

Singapore Armed Forces can place 500,000 men and women under arms within 24 hours. It has AWAC's to monitor it's airspace 24 hours a day , which isn't big, and places more emphasis on it's neighbours.

Its air force has contingencies to take off and land on expressways. Malaysias north-south highway could accommodate such an eventuality for them. It s navy has submarines. It has Israeli military advisors. It has a total defense doctrine, where its civilian population is trained for all and any eventuality. For a puny island nation, it is indeed a formidable adversary and it is indeed the superpower in South East Asia.

Currently Indonesia is the most unstable country in South East Asia. For those with short memories it tried to invade Malaysia once. There are still advocates of a greater Indonesia who preach expansion.

In World War II Thailand allowed the invading Japanese army to march right through to take South East Asia. Then there is the problem of the Patani Liberation Organisation, which if not handled well could blow over.

Burmese and Thai border forces have exchanged fire in the past and this has been ongoing with tension created within Burma by different ethnic groups like the Karen which has spilled over into Thailand.

In the East we have Sabah, which is deemed to be part of the Philippines, by the nationalists. That issue is currently on the back burner. Wait until their economy recovers and they become a wealthy nation and radical nationalist rule her.

Malaysia has always been considered a dove in this region. War is an extension of a nations political will. It is always good to be diplomatic, to avoid war at all costs is always a very good outcome.

Hence to that end it is in the nations best interest to be well equipped militarily as this serves as a deterrence and makes for good political gamesmanship in any negotiation.. The question the critics should ask, is why do our neighbours possess such a lethal arsenal. 

This should send a tingle down the spine of our Minister of Defense

Europe came to be known as “the West” because it was literally the remaining and westernmost appendage of Christendom, the only area not to be swallowed up by Islam.

For roughly a millennium thereafter, Arabs, Berbers, Turks, and Tatars—all of whom called and saw themselves as Muslims—launched raid after raid, all justified (and lauded) as jihads, into virtually every corner of Europe. They reached as far as Iceland and provoked the U.S. into its first war as a nation. 

The devastation was indescribable; some regions in Europe, particularly in Spain and the Balkans, remain uninhabitable due to the incessant raiding. Some 15 million Europeans were enslaved during this perennial jihad and, according to contemporary records, treated horrifically.

In the words of historian Bernard Lewis. 

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 [among Europeans].

In short, “if we … ask ourselves how and when the modern notion of Europe and the European identity was born,” writes historian Franco Cardini, “we realize the extent to which Islam was a factor (albeit a negative one) in its creation. Repeated Muslim aggression against Europe between the seventh to eighth centuries, then between the fourteenth and the eighteenth centuries … was a ‘violent midwife’ to Europe.”

Malaysiakini : The Council of Churches of Malaysia (CCM) said Selangor has revised its controversial planning guidelines, removing height restrictions on non-Muslim houses of worship and permitting such premises to be built on commercial, industrial, and institutional land.

Selangor Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari’s press secretary, Jay Jay Denis, confirmed the details, including that the revised guidelines will take effect immediately. “It’ll take two weeks for the circular to be streamlined across all local councils.   

At first reading, it may seem like this pact was drafted by the Christians themselves. However, the terms were dictated to them by Umar. This is standard procedure for any agreement we may sign today, whether it be a receipt for a grocery delivery or the deeds to our homes. This, along with the true purpose of some of its demands, are confirmed by Ibn Kathir in his widely accepted tafsir.

"Allah said, (until they pay the Jizyah), if they do not choose to embrace Islam, (with willing submission), in defeat and subservience, (and feel themselves subdued.), disgraced, humiliated and belittled. Therefore, Muslims are not allowed to honor the people of Dhimmah or elevate them above Muslims, for they are miserable, disgraced and humiliated. Muslim recorded from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet said, (Do not initiate the Salam to the Jews and Christians, and if you meet any of them in a road, force them to its narrowest alley.) This is why the Leader of the faithful `Umar bin Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, demanded his well-known conditions be met by the Christians, these conditions that ensured their continued humiliation, degradation and disgrace."

So we find that, not only many of the demands in the pact, but also the jizyah (poll tax levied against non-Muslims) which the Christians had to pay, were primarily meant to humiliate them.

By contrast, the steep rise in anti-Christian hate crimes, meticulously tracked by the Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination Against Christians in Europe, has gone largely unreported. In May alone, OIDAC Europe reported 37 hate crimes targeting “Christian places of worship, religious symbols, religious spaces, Christian institutions, and Christian individuals,” including:

• 13 arson-related attacks (the highest in 2026 thus far)
• 10 cases of vandalism
• 3 cases of deliberate “desecration”
• 3 cases of physical violence
• 3 thefts of religious objects
• 3 cases of “vandalism and violence”
• 1 case of incitement
• 1 case of disruption of worship

Some of the incidents are deeply disturbing. A Polish nun was attacked both physically and verbally at a bus stop, with the cross around her neck torn off. The windows of the Holy Spirit Church in Hanau, Germany were shattered after attackers fired steel balls through the window while hundreds of worshippers were inside. Two Catholic students in Austria were attacked and badly injured by “alleged left-wing extremists” in Innsbruck.
