Sadly, the politicians don't recognize this. Isn't this our fault? We sucked up to them for rank, appointment and post service goodies.

That very situation put us in subservience. Today, we need to go to the courts to get our rightful pensions. How humiliating is this? 

I cannot bear to see our retired Generals and senior officers wallowing in self preservation, afraid to say the truth!

If the Federal Court rules against us its a slap on the faces of all the Generals who sat in the AFC. Im going to be very rude, but blunt.

If you Generals don't stand up now, you're not worth the respect of the stars on your shoulders! 

I'm still baffled that no initiative to approach our Supreme Commander has been made! Doesn't he have a say?

I remain for God, King and Country.

Buletin TV3 reported that the prime minister also asked Khalid to submit a detailed report on the incident to Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail. Anwar said the shooting was discussed in the cabinet meeting today.

“I have instructed the IGP to carry out an investigation in a transparent manner and not to protect anyone.

Vijay47 : Obviously, Anwar Ibrahim appears to have learned a good lesson from the bloody-nose he received in Mount Kinabalu. He suddenly speaks the rakyat’s language, almost along the lines of “Semua anak saya”, and has ordered the IGP “to carry out an investigation in a transparent manner and not to protect anyone.” 

Wow, Mr. Prime Minister, truly impressive! But do you think the IGP will jump on his trusty steed to go forth and do your bidding? I don’t recall him being particularly enthusiastic about the decree from the Federal Court regarding that tortured lady Indra Gandhi and her kidnapped daughter. 

And numerous other cases. But perhaps much more than even you, Anwar Ibrahim, the best student from the Kinabalu Lesson must surely be Gobind Singh. Yes, the son of the father. He seems to have found his tongue after years of silence and even he has spoken up about the alleged tri-murder in Malaysia. 

So missing in action had he been that I actually thought he had taken to meditation somewhere in Penang Hill. Wonders never cease! All I can say is, “Thank you, Sabah!” and that Malaya also has a couple of surprises in store for Anwar Ibrahim, Gobind Singh, and Friends.

apanama is back : Under Madani, IGP needed to instructed by Prime Minister. Home Minister, where are you? Went for sauna bath? Wonderful!

Party adviser Lim Guan Eng today shared his speech from Monday night at a Penang event on Facebook, in which he said that some feel Anwar has not done enough.“We have heard the voices of the people and will take their views seriously. We will convey these concerns to the prime minister and urge the government to fulfil its promises as soon as possible,” he said.

Anthony Loke Gave A Blank Cheque To Anwar Ibrahim

“When the prime minister does the right thing, we must speak fairly; but when he does something wrong or not enough, we also have the responsibility to speak up. This is a fundamental principle of being an elected representative,” he added.

apanama is back : Lim Guan Eng, AFTER THREE years and AFTER the Sabah election in which DAP was wiped out, SUDDENLY you people woke up from your slumber and SUDDENLY found that Anwar, the PM, has fallen short. 

He has been falling short since day one. Do you remember a school incident in Johor? How about the conversion incident that he posted on his Facebook? How about his claim of 'victory' against a more than 100-year-old temple in KL? 

This is why I said earlier, you people never listen to people, UNTIL people need to vote you out, then you will wake up. But by that time, it is too late. Listen to people even though you disagree. Debate with people if you're right. By the way, what happened to your SG, Guan Eng? Is it his name, Anthony Loke? 

Is he sleeping or awake? A DAP adviser is issuing this statement while the DAP Chairman and the DAP Secretary General are still in hibernation. Guan Eng, GAME OVER for DAP. Seats will be drastically reduced because you have taken your voters for a ride for far too long. They are NOT a fixed deposit. The voters are your boss and your paymaster, @taxpayers!

The wing fell silent. Seconds earlier, Bourgass, a convicted Algerian terrorist, had wrongly accused his attacker in broken English of trying to pinch something from his cell. The fist-shaped reply was swift and final. Officers surged in and marched the puncher to segregation. 

The queue shuffled on. The whole thing lasted seconds, but it captured something essential about the era: men convicted of terrorism were being dropped onto mainstream wings in some of Britain’s hardest prisons, one of the most self-defeating policy decisions of the last two decades.

The prisoner sprawled on the floor was no ordinary inmate. In 2003, during a counter-terrorism raid in Manchester, Bourgass stabbed four police officers; Detective Constable Stephen Oake later died of his wounds. Convicted of murder and given a life sentence with a minimum term of 22 years, he was later handed another 17-year sentence for his part in the so-called “ricin plot”. He was, in every sense, a defining figure of that early wave of al-Qaeda-linked offenders.

Two decades later, Bourgass is reported to be on the cusp of his first full parole review. The precise timings are unclear, but the decision may already have been made; Bourgass might walk out of prison as early as this month. The Parole Board’s role is not to punish retrospective horror, but to weigh current risk: it must assess the man before them, not the man he was. And yet, as Bourgass’s minimum tariff is now expiring, the country is left with a more uncomfortable question: what does “rehabilitation” really mean when the beliefs behind the violence are so hard to change?

The US action on Muslim Brotherhood marks a reckoning with its ideological war on the West.

Last week, the United States took a historic step by initiating the process to designate certain Muslim Brotherhood chapters as Foreign Terrorist Organizations, an extraordinary shift that aligns Washington with countries across the Middle East, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Bahrain, which have long treated the Brotherhood as a dangerous destabilising force.  

That decision did not emerge in a vacuum. It came after growing evidence that the Brotherhood’s challenge to the West is not primarily violent but ideological, strategic, and systemic.

A major new report by US think tank ISGAP outlines how the movement has spent decades embedding itself into Western civil society, campuses, media narratives, and political discourse.

The Brotherhood’s playbook is “institutional capture by cultural means,” a long-term project of ‘tamkeen’, or entrenchment, designed to undermine liberal democracies from within.

This is what the US is now responding to: a movement that uses Western freedoms to hollow out Western confidence, advancing an illiberal ideology beneath the language of rights, representation, and moral critique. Antisemitism is central to that strategy, not incidental.

From its earliest writings, the Brotherhood understood that antisemitism could be deployed as a civilisational solvent, a way to unite Muslims and non-Muslims alike against a shared enemy, to turn Western guilt into moral weakness, and to build a new order grounded in Islamist norms. It has worked.

Palestinian supporters of Hamas shout slogans during a demonstration in support of the Muslim Brotherhood, after Friday prayers in Ramallah

For years, policymakers in Israel and across Europe have tried to separate the Muslim Brotherhood’s political facade from its extremist foundation. They hoped that engaging with the Brotherhood’s “moderate” vocabulary could foster stability, integrate Muslim communities and serve as a firewall against violent radicalism.

But events unfolding in Europe—supported by multiple intelligence reports from France, Belgium and the European Parliament—now expose this strategy as dangerously misguided. The Brotherhood is not an alternative to extremism. It is the ideological engine that drives it.

On Nov. 23, more than 70 European and international experts gathered in front of the International Criminal Court in The Hague to deliver a unified message: that the Muslim Brotherhood represents a global threat to peace and security. Their warning was grounded not in speculation but in hard intelligence and the experience of European cities that have faced waves of radicalization, antisemitism and terror.

For Israel and Europe alike, the danger is not theoretical; it is urgent and evolving. To understand the threat, one must first understand the Brotherhood’s worldview.

It is built on a single premise: that Islam is not merely a religion, but is a political system destined to replace all others. Its long-term objective—articulated openly by senior officials and documented in European intelligence memos—is to reshape societies from within through a “civilizational-jihadist process,” as noted by former Dutch politician Henry Van Bommel.

This Piece Of Shit Is Keir Starmer

Who says there has been such a rise? The same Muslim groups that are pushing for the criminalization of “Islamophobia,” as well as the Labour government itself. 

Could Labour really be trying to solidify its hold on the Muslim vote by destroying the freedom of speech and imposing Sharia blasphemy laws through the back door, designed as efforts to stamp out “hate”? Why, of course they could. In fact, that is exactly what they’re doing.   

As is the usual practice in such cases, leftists are obscuring the real issues with false premises and straw men. The Telegraph reported Monday that “stereotyping grooming gangs as Muslim could fall foul of a definition of Islamophobia being considered by the Government.” 

Now, no one who is informed about the rampant problem of rape gangs in the U.K. that victimized and destroyed the lives of hundreds of thousands of British girls could maintain that they are all Muslim down to the last man. However, as Holy Hell: Islam’s Abuse of Women and the Infidels Who Enable It shows, not only have the vast majority of the perpetrators been Muslims, but most of the victims were non-Muslim British girls.

“The prime minister can choose not to listen to me. However, he cannot afford to refuse to listen to the voices of Sabah voters,” Lim said, noting that the Sabah election results have shown that voters are upset about extra taxes.

The former finance minister’s caution was included in a Facebook post in which he denied that he highlighted the people’s hardship only after, and not before, the Sabah election on Nov 29.

“Since December 2024, I have made a total of at least seven speeches in Parliament objecting to the expansion of the scope of the SST (sales and services tax) and other measures that burden the people.

“Even the media in Parliament can remember and confirm that I have made those speeches repeatedly asking for review and delay of these SST, tax and other measures. “The seven speeches in Parliament were on Dec 4, 2024, Feb 5, 2025, March 3, 2025, March 6, 2025, May 5, 2025, Aug 6, 2025 and Oct 16, 2025,” he added.

Lim said he also raised issues like e-invoicing and the delay in tax refunds. However, he said his pleas were not heeded by the government or by Anwar. “Instead, the prime minister proceeded with implementing these measures in the second half of 2025,” he said, urging the prime minister to reconsider his position on these issues.

Income tax refund delays

In a separate statement, Lim highlighted an example of how ordinary people suffer due to the Inland Revenue Board (IRB)’s slow processing of income tax refunds. He raised the case of one Cheong Wei Foong, who runs four music academies and has been waiting since 2020 for RM112,000 in tax refunds. Lim said Cheong had only received RM4,147 this year.

“He (Cheong) was deeply disappointed as the amount (returned this year) was negligible compared with the total outstanding sum.

“Upon further checks, he was informed that this was all that could be processed for the time being, while the remaining balance would still have to wait, with no indication of when it might be returned.

“According to him, refund claims for the years 2016 to 2020 had posed no issues. However, after that, he assumed the delays were due to the movement control order (MCO) during the pandemic.

“In 2023, he went to the IRB office in Shah Alam to check the status and submitted a fresh refund application. Yet, to this day, there has been no progress,” Lim added.

The Bagan MP said the delay had strained the company’s cash flow and was emblematic of a wider problem for SMEs, arguing that excess tax collected is rightfully the taxpayer’s money and should not be withheld for years.

He urged the IRB to expedite all outstanding refunds.

“IRB collects over RM300 billion in tax revenue each year, so processing refunds involving such relatively small amounts should not be a problem. “In reality, if a company were to take legal action to recover its money, it would almost certainly win, as the IRB has no right to retain funds belonging to taxpayers.

When Europe Almost Became Muslim - The Battle of Lepanto

The Mediterranean Sea turned red for miles. This is the Battle of Lepanto. The last crusade. The day the Ottoman fleet was crushed. And the story they don't teach in schools. 

The battle of Lepanto was not just a momentary victory of the Christian league of nations. It, similarly to battles of ThermoPylae or Alamo, served as an inspiration to free people standing up against oppression, slavery and subjugation against impossible odds! 

It inspired generations to believe that resistance is not futile, that the cause of Freedom is the greatest cause worth fighting and if need be dying for! The strength of free people is in their unity! Long live the memory of Lepanto, where free people took a stand for their rights and united by a noble cause won!

The families of three men who were shot dead in Malacca have rejected the police’s account that the victims had attacked officers, citing an alleged audio recording of the incident.

The wife of one of the victims, who wished to be identified only as Jayashree, managed to record a phone conversation with her husband, G Logeswaran, 29, during the incident.

She said based on the recording last Monday (Nov 24), the three could be heard cooperating with the police as they were being detained.

She also said the recording did not show the victims behaving in a threatening manner as alleged.

“Suddenly, the police attacked; you could hear the sounds, and he (Logeswaran) cried out in pain. His voice of pain was clearly audible. When someone told him to sit, he sat down as well.

“He (the police) said ‘duduk, duduk’ (sit, sit).

“‘Ya bang (Yes), I am sitting’ (Logeswaran replied),” Jayashree said during a press conference at the Lawyers for Liberty (LFL) office in Petaling Jaya.

Koel : Urgent need for Bukit Aman to inform citizens whether the Malaysian police uses extrajudicial killing as an SOP? If so, has this current home ministry given approval for such an SOP? If not, what is the pdrm doing to immediately investigate the men implicated in this recording? 

Failing to suspend such suspects means that the general public safety may be in danger. Can we have the names of the men who have allegedly carried out this extrajudicial killing? This is an absolute disgrace for the Madani govt and a very frightening development for the public. 

What is the cabinet doing about this? Do the various parties of this coalition govt condone such killings? If not, get these suspected murderers suspended immediately pending investigation. Silence is not an option where public safety is concerned.

GoldenHawk4197 : The police and other agencies have lost their credibility after having pumped a dysfunctional race who are known to be lazy and corrupt. Should find another term for PDRM which would reflect ‘sampah’ or the like!

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. Trending Slapping Incident : Certain Malay Thought That They Control Malaysia - Feeling Entitled To Take Laws Into Their Own Hands The question now is: will Peninsular Malaysia be next? 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.

I remember these pencils sold in my school those days

100 pages into Two Swords of Christ. Fantastic and graphic, and tragic, seeing how Christians were treated by Muslims. Islam is truly the most violent ideology on this planet, and Raymond's books convinced me of that. A meme I heard: A radical Muslim wants to kill you. A moderate Muslim wants a radical Muslim to kill you. Malta is the most magical of places. 

I first visited in 2017. I've been back 5 more times since and will return again in December. My first visit healed my soul. I was so broken when I went on that first visit...But I left the island with new meaning and a reason to live. I owe Malta my life. I'm excited to return in December, when I will begin filming for my own YouTube channel, which I'm starting.

Ten years since brutal Islamic State murder of Christians in Libya

You cannot exaggerate the importance of Raymond Ibrahim's works--I have all of his books and have read his articles and postings over many years now, and you simply won't find a better presentation of these early and medieval periods of Islamic conquests (and in many of his articles, current material). 

There are some other good books on these topics (but not many), but his are easily the best in my opinion. I pray for a very wide readership. Islam is by far the longest and most widespread campaign of colonialism in history and the EST academia elitist of western civilization have totally lied about the crusades painting Muslims as the poor old peaceful victims… a total revisionism of history to favor Islam, which is so very late in history. 

Nothing was more awakening to me as a Christian than when I went to Egypt. My interest was at first pretty basic, focusing on ancient Egypt. My focus shifted, however, when I had more and more exposure to the beautiful Coptic culture and their horrible reality in their country. 

Originally, Copts and Egyptians as terms were synonymous, but they were conquered and displaced in their own home. Eventually over generations they became a minority, and a heavily persecuted one, but they still endure in their faith despite it all.

Fighters became spectators. No direction, no strategy, no fire left in the belly. They begged Rafizi to return. He came back – not for position, but for Malaysia.

With INVOKE’s razor-sharp data, he launched Ayuh Malaysia. He travelled the country non-stop. He built wave after wave. He crafted perfect strategic narratives. He rebuilt morale from the ashes. He promised 80 seats in GE15. Everyone laughed. “Too ambitious,” they said. He delivered 82.

He told Anwar Ibrahim to contest Tambun – a seat analysts called political suicide. They said Rafizi wanted to bury Anwar. Anwar trusted him anyway. Anwar won big. From the ruins of opposition, they marched into Putrajaya. Rafizi became the man behind the throne: the strategist, the war general, the commander-in-chief of elections, the wave-maker, the mobiliser, the voice that moved millions.

He delivered. Quietly. Relentlessly. Effectively. Then he started pushing – politely, professionally – for real reform. And that’s when they decided he had to go. They kicked Rafizi out for five fatal reasons: 1.He wanted reform fast. They wanted business as usual.

2.He is a man of principle who tolerates zero nonsense and zero corruption. They wanted to cari makan – shares, appointments, contracts, projects, slush funds, and surat sokongan. 3.He became too influential, too competent, too popular. The higher powers felt threatened – just like ancient emperors who murdered the loyal generals who put them on the throne.

4.He wanted to honour the manifesto he himself drafted in 2018. They wanted to U-turn on every single promise the moment they smelled power and profit. 5. He wanted to protect and strengthen PH’s core base – the M40, progressive Malays, the Indians , Anak Sabah, Anak Sarawak, and the Chinese community. They wanted to chase the walaun vote – the PAS fanatic base – even if it meant abandoning everyone who actually voted PH into power.

And the final sin? Rafizi refused to play “Cash is King”. No projects for cronies. No envelopes. No dana under the table. Then he started advising the Prime Minister – politely, professionally – on one issue after another. Anwar smiled in front, but did the opposite behind. Trust eroded. Advice was ignored. Warnings were dismissed.

It culminated in the ultimate betrayal: Anwar gave his blessings for his own daughter, Nurul Izzah, to lead a coup in the PKR party election to dethrone Rafizi and his entire reform team. The message was clear: blood is thicker than competence. Meanwhile, his opponents in PKR – the so-called “Team Damai” – mocked him during the party election:

“We don’t need Rafizi.” “We don’t need INVOKE.” “We don’t need big data or think tanks.” “PKR can survive another 100 years!” “We’ll win more than 80 seats from our current 31 – easy!” “Our data is better. J-KOM is enough for strategic communication.” Six months later – just six months without Rafizi – Pakatan Harapan contested 20 seats in the Sabah state election. They won one. And even that one came via a defector, not their own strength. Total annihilation. Total humiliation. A historic extinction-level event.

When Rafizi was Deputy President and PKR Election Director, Anwar Ibrahim never once had to campaign in more than 13 by-elections after GE15. The machinery ran like clockwork. In Sabah, they had two PKR election directors (Nurult Izzah and Saifuddin Nasution), plus Anwar himself flying in last-minute to “save” the campaign. Result? 1 out of 20.

One Rafizi was worth more than Anwar + Nurul Izzah + Saifuddin Nasution + Amiruddin Shaari combined. All the scandals now exploding – Farhash, Shamsul Iskandar, Fadhlina’s incompetence as Education Minister – Rafizi had warned Anwar about them privately, again and again. Anwar didn’t listen.

Six months ago, INVOKE data showed PH had already lost 32% of Chinese support and 38% of Indian support. They laughed. Called it fake. Said Rafizi was exaggerating. Sabah’s Chinese majority seats? Wiped out. Exactly as predicted. When PKR announced its candidates, Rafizi reminded them: this is about Reformasi, not Reformanan or Reformusa. They called him “kuat merajuk”. Too sensitive.

So they chopped him. Now Shamsul Iskandar – the man who called Rafizi “pemimpin sialan” – has become the real curse that buried PH in Sabah. Every time Rafizi tried to help, the DAMAI cybertroopers, paid professors, and loyalist writers were sent to slander him. They even dared him to leave and form his own party. He left.

And now the dominoes fall: Sabah today, Sarawak tomorrow, Peninsular Malaysia the day after. This time, Rafizi is not coming back. Once bitten, twice shy.

Anwar can promote his daughter all he wants. He can dream of a family dynasty. But what is the point of ruling over a kingdom of ashes? Without Rafizi Ramli and his big data, PKR is lost. Pakatan Harapan is bleeding.

Instead of defending the citizens who saved his political life, he throws himself into the gutter of appeasement — debasing his office to placate the loudest, most uncompromising ultranationalist factions who openly despise him. He bends, breaks, and contorts himself in a futile attempt to gain their approval, all while they spit back his concessions with contempt.

And as if betraying his own base were not catastrophic enough, he performs an even darker inversion of duty: he gives more attention, more passion, and more political capital to distant foreign causes and movements — simply because they share his ideological affinity — than he gives to the very citizens who keep this country functioning. He champions struggles abroad while ignoring the quiet erosion at home, treating loyal Malaysians as expendable while elevating foreign figures to symbolic sainthood.

Yet his most unforgivable act is the slow, deliberate destruction of the sole coalition partner strong enough to anchor him. A party with more MPs, more organisation, and more discipline than his own — gutted by his paranoia, undermined by his insecurity, and sacrificed on the altar of his relentless quest to impress those who will never stand with him. He weakens the only force keeping the government upright, leaving behind a coalition limping on bones he has personally shattered.

What remains is political devastation: supporters cast aside, allies dismantled, stability poisoned at its source. This is not mere incompetence. It is apocalyptic self-sabotage — a leader who burns his own foundation, worships at the feet of those who scorn him, and pours the nation’s goodwill into foreign fires while his own house collapses around him.

Taxing Our Children’s Future”: How the SST on International School Fees Delivered DAP a Historic Wipeout in Sabah – and Why Peninsular Malaysia Could Be Next* Kuala Lumpur, 30 November 2025 – Yesterday, Sabah voters delivered the Democratic Action Party its worst electoral disaster in decades: a total wipeout. From six seats in 2020, DAP crashed to zero. Long-held Chinese-majority strongholds such as Elopura, Likas, Kapayan and Luyang fell like dominoes, mostly to Warisan candidates who were political unknowns just months ago.

The scale of the rejection stunned even seasoned observers. Yet when you speak to Chinese parents in Kota Kinabalu and Sandakan – the very communities that once formed DAP’s bedrock – one grievance rises above all others: the federal government’s decision to impose a 6% Sales and Service Tax (SST) on private and international school fees exceeding RM60,000 per year, effective 1 July 2025.

For Malaysia’s Chinese community, education is not a commodity; it is a sacred covenant between generations. To levy a tax on knowledge – especially on the very international schools that many middle- and upper-middle-class families turned to after decades of restricted access to quality public education – is seen as nothing less than a betrayal of that covenant.

“First they limit places in public universities, then they underfund Chinese-medium schools, and now they tax the only remaining pathway we have for our children,” said a parent from Luyang who declined to be named. “DAP promised to be different. Instead they sat silently while Putrajaya taxed our future.”

The numbers are stark. At the average international school in Sabah or the Klang Valley, fees range from RM80,000 to RM150,000 a year. The new SST adds between RM4,800 and RM9,000 per child annually – a sum that hits hardest the salaried professionals, business owners and civil servants who form the backbone of DAP’s urban support. 

In Sabah, the anger was compounded by the perception that Peninsular-based parties treat East Malaysia as a cash cow. “They take our oil revenue and give us crumbs,” one former DAP branch member told this writer. “Then they send the taxman for our children’s school fees. Enough is enough.”
