The Chinese Tsunami: Anthony Loke Leads DAP to Extinction in Sabah — Will Peninsular Malaysia Be Next?

The Coverage : The Sabah state election on 29 November 2025 delivered a devastating verdict: the long-feared “Chinese tsunami” has finally arrived — and it has wiped DAP off the Borneo map.

Not a single seat. Zero. Nada. From eight seats in 2020 to absolute extinction in 2025. This is the worst electoral disaster in DAP’s 59-year history.

Angry and disillusioned Chinese Sabahans did not just abandon the Democratic Action Party — they rejected the entire Malaya-centric Pakatan Harapan coalition with contempt. PKR, led by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim himself, limped home with a humiliating single seat despite fielding 22 candidates. Amanah? Not even a whisper of the so-called “Palestinian vote” it was banking on.

Anwar huffed and puffed across the state with his trademark tiring, long-winded ceramah, yet Sabahans saw only one thing: a forked-tongue federal government that preaches justice but delivers nothing to Borneo.

Even PKR’s lone “victory” was a shameless parachute job — an assemblyman borrowed from Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) at the eleventh hour. A national embarrassment for a sitting Prime Minister who also holds the finance portfolio.  

Sabah Chinese simply moved en masse to Warisan. Why? Because Shafie Apdal has the courage to fight racial discrimination, corruption, and injustice — the very role DAP used to play before it sold its soul for cabinet seats.   

And let’s be honest: if DAP under Anthony Loke cannot even defend Chinese rights in Peninsular Malaysia, why would Sabah Chinese trust them to speak up in Borneo?

DAP today has no courage, no principles, no integrity — only the infamous “LCLY” attitude its own supporters used to condemn. From the suspicious death of Teoh Beng Hock to the abduction of Pastor Raymond Koh, from Lynas radioactive waste to corruption in the Prime Minister’s Office — DAP’s new motto is “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil”.

When UMNO’s Akmal Saleh insults the Chinese community, DAP stays quiet. When Anwar threatens to ban alcohol sales in Chinese school halls, Loke only finds his voice after Lim Guan Eng shames him into action.

This is not the fearless DAP of Lim Kit Siang and Karpal Singh. This is a party that has become worse than the MCA it once mocked — at least MCA was subservient to only one master. DAP now bows to both UMNO and PKR.

And the numbers don’t lie.

The question has always been simple and fair: What is there for the non-Bumiputera? Are they not Malaysians too?

When Perikatan Nasional was in power for 33 months (without DAP ):

• JAKIM budget: ~RM700 million/year
• Bumiputera education (UiTM, MARA, etc.): ~RM2 billion
• Cash handouts: RM5–7 billion
• No civil servant salary hike
• EPF conventional dividends always higher 

Under Anwar’s Madani government (with DAP inside): JAKIM budget: RM2.6 billion Bumiputera education: RM6 billion Cash handouts: RM15 billion Civil servant salary increase: RM10 billion/year EPF Syariah dividends now equal or higher RM200 million sent to Palestine Pelan Ekonomi Bumiputera ( Putera 35 ) 

Yet DAP is still accused of being anti-Malay and anti-Islam while the non-Bumiputera get almost nothing in return. Year after year, non-Bumiputera Malaysians ask: What is there for us? Non-Bumi equity crashed from 70% to 25% — not a single economic congress on it MITRA funding delayed DBKL tearing down Chinese signboards in the capital — where is DAP? 

UMNO’s Akmal Saleh openly bullying and insulting non-Bumiputera — where is DAP? PTPTN first-class loan repayment waiver for private uni students quietly cancelled, now forced to pay — where is DAP? Broken promise on UEC recognition — where is DAP? Vernacular school allocation cut from RM100 million (Najib era) to a pathetic RM25 million Non-Muslim houses of worship: a nationwide RM50 million (Sarawak alone gives RM110 million) 

Top non-Bumi students rejected by public universities — silence 130-year-old Kuil Dewi Sri Pathrakaliamman under threat — silence Anwar publicly scolds an Indian student for asking about meritocracy — silence Subsidies cut. New taxes introduced. e-Invoicing nightmare for SMEs. Cost of living soaring. This is the real legacy of Anthony Loke and the current DAP leadership: they have taken a once-mighty roaring lion and turned it into a toothless, timid church mouse. 

Congratulations, Anthony Loke. You have officially led DAP to extinction in Sabah. The Chinese tsunami has spoken.

Even DAP’s own former MP and data man Ong Kian Ming admitted the terrifying scale of the disaster: 

Chinese support for Pakatan Harapan in Sabah crashed from 78% in previous elections to a pathetic 27% in 2025. That is a brutal 51-percentage-point swing — one of the biggest electoral reversals ever recorded against any party in Malaysia. Now ask yourself this: What happens if the same 51-point Chinese tsunami hits Peninsular Malaysia in the next general election? 

DAP holds 42 of its 44 parliamentary seats thanks to 97% Chinese majority support in places like Ipoh, Penang, Selangor, and Johor. A 51-point swing would not just defeat DAP — it would turn the Rocket into ashes.
