Former deputy law minister Hanipa Maidin noted: “Najib and his die-hard supporters might be extremely unhappy with (judge Alice) Loke’s decision, but they may not realise perhaps how happy and jovial the majority of Malaysians are.”

Yet, Asyraf labelled Yeo’s words “extremely rude, excessive, and utterly lacking in humanity”.

He added, “If one cannot even express a shred of sympathy, they should refrain from making disrespectful and hurtful remarks.”

Krabian : If the mentality and mindset of the Malay don't change, nothing will change for the better in this land.

The DAP disciplinary chief asserted that both he and his party take pride in having played a pivotal role in the kleptocrat’s downfall and continued incarceration.“There is absolutely no need to sympathise with such a crook,” he said in a social media post.

“Those chastising us to have 'humanity', who continue to love the crook - no one's stopping you. But don't stop the rest of us Malaysians from celebrating justice upheld. “Looking forward to his next conviction later this week,” he added, referring to the upcoming court verdict on Dec 26 in Najib’s 1MDB-related case involving RM2.3 billion.  

‘Najib already got massive discount’

Pua, who relentlessly pursued the 1MDB scandal during Najib’s tenure as prime minister, also noted that the “biggest crook in Malaysia” should instead be grateful for the “massive discount” he received when the Pardons Board halved his prison sentence and reduced his fine.

Commentable : UMNO and other parties talking under the same breath should take a moment to reflect. They certainly would do well if they accept the fact that Najib is a crook who has embezzled billions of ringgit with the help of enablers. 

The humongous sum of money belongs to Malaysia, and not to any one individual. Billions in RM is so much money, it affects the whole nation's economic stability and future pathway to development. He is certainly not a victim, so empathy should not even be used to describe his legal conundrum. 

Don't ever use this word empathy to label a traitor to this beloved country of ours. Very evidently, people who still supports this convicted crook don't understand the meaning of treason on the one hand and patriotism on the other. These two words are poles apart, so it's either you make stand one way or the other. 

Tony, being a DAP leader, has made his stand and presumably for the party too (my guess only). Many right thinking Malaysians, including myself, would take the same stand too. There is no sane reason in this world to support a crook and a national traitor. Judges would be hard pressed to find legal justification to reverse any kind of verdict that favours him. 

Any verdict is substantiated and based on solid evidence, and such evidence are not only found in this country but found scattered all over the world, including the USA. So please, stop all these charade. It's rude, unpleasant, uncouth and blatantly unpatriotic.

Every year huge crowds gather in Paris at the Champs-Élysées to ring in the new year with fireworks and concerts. Much like the New Year’s Eve parties in Times Square in New York City, the joyous festivities are a key link in the chain of worldwide celebrations of the year to come.

No more.

New Year’s has been canceled in Paris. The New Year’s Eve concert was pre-recorded with actors pretending to be the audience. The fireworks will appear on TV. And there will be no one to count the countdown because the Champs-Élysées has become France’s latest ‘no-go’zone’.

Ten years ago, Mayor Anne Hidalgo of Paris had threatened to sue FOX News for correctly reporting that there were ‘no-go-zones’ in Paris. “The image of Paris has been prejudiced, and the honour of Paris has been prejudiced,” she fumed.

Now, Mayor Hidalgo decided that even with the 6,000 police officers that had been deployed to secure the Paris event last year, the Champs-Élysées could not be protected against Islam.

But it never, ever shows up in all of the mountains of literature that Western policymakers and mainstream foreign policy analysts have produced about this intractable conflict, and about how it can be managed.  

“We, the Palestinian people,” said Abu Ayada, “obey and submit to the orders of Allah. And we know that the war that the Jews are leading against us is for no reason.” He meant that there was no political or economic reason for it, for he continued: “People who think that this is a war against the resistance and its missiles are deluding themselves,” which means that all those pro-Hamas agitators on college and university campuses nationwide are deluding themselves, but of course, we knew that already. 

“This is a war,” Abu Ayada declared, “between Islam and disbelief, between Islam and Judaism, between the distorted faith and the true Qur’an, the true belief. I say to the people: we are confronting the Jews. This is a religious and ideological war. Anyone who wants to get out of this war and watch from the sidelines will be dealt with by Allah. We are pleased with the decrees of Allah.” 

There you have it. Virtually no one in the West acknowledges this or realizes its implications, but Muslim leaders have been clear, just as Abu Ayada is clear: this is a religious war. Two days after the Oct. 7, 2023 jihad massacre, the indispensable Palestinian Media Watch reported that “a Telegram channel associated with Fatah’s military wing the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, is calling on Palestinians to slaughter Jews who they term ‘apes and pigs.’” 

That’s actually a reference to the Islamic holy book, the Qur’an, which, in three separate passages, refers to Allah punishing Sabbath-breaking Jews by transforming them into apes and pigs (2:53-65; 5:59-60; 7:166).

In the court documents, police also allege the pair "targeted members of the public gathered at the Jewish religious event Chanukah by the Sea 2025", throwing homemade bombs in addition to firing into the crowd.

Never vote for people that had been hostile and trying to conquer you for 1400 years. This is what anti-Christian bigotry looks like. I'd rather be far right than far wrong. This shows that Islam and the West's Christian beliefs do NOT mix. Sad Dick Kunt is the worst mayor in the history of London. Finally! The English have stood up and sang the songs of their people.

US Government Brings Plight of Persecuted Christians in Nigeria to the United Nations

Black lives matter was another big scam please save our people. Praying for the Christians in Africa and the Jewish community. Those who believe in me will live forever in my fathers kingdom. Nigerian Christians have to be protected . Well done to this gentleman . Let’s all pray for the Nigerian Christian community and request to the government and human right institutions to intervene.

Men jailed over machete-wielding 'frenzy' at shop

The military should arrest the government. Kindness lessons? Are you serious? These pseudo leaders should be thrown in jail for treason. That prime minister needs to be removed immediately. When a government ignores its own people, chaos isn’t an accident. 

It’s the result. The Government has totally betrayed their citizens!! What complete lunacy! Starmer needs a prison cell with all those who brought this upon Britain. People in high places are destroying England and Starmer is one of their instruments. 

Communist takeovers typically involve a two-step process: usurping political power through the control of police and army, followed by monopolizing society via mass terror, deception, and the elimination of opposition. Stages include ideological subversion (propaganda), establishing a one-party state, nationalizing industry, and often using land reform to gain peasant support.

“These extraordinary revelations directly contradict both Burke and Anthony Albanese's repeated claims that they knew nothing about the return of the ISIS bodies and played no role in it.” I don't just want a resignation, I want these treasonous bastards in jail. How is this bastard of a government still in power? 

What gives these politicians the right to blatantly lie to the people of Australia. The fact that they treat us like idiots is an absolute disgrace. It's like everyone in a position of power is trying to bring this country down in every way they can... traitors. Tony Bourke appears to be one of the Most Dangerous Ministers. 

They Lied to parliament. I will never donate to save the children again their as crooked as this government. This putrid government is going to use our tax dollars to give more to people who killed our diggers then they do the Australian people. 

This be the last time I give to save the children fund. Terrible politicians are wrecking this country. They allow this, yet ban a Preacher from the USA? How does that make sense?

On the other end of the connection was Alan Topp, the Scottish Air Traffic Controller working more than 50 miles away in Prestwick, west of Glasgow.

The time was 6.58pm on December 21, 1988.

They were the last words recorded from Pan Am Flight 103. 

Within five minutes of that transmission, all 243 passengers and 16 crew aboard were dead, killed by a bomb that destroyed the aircraft as it flew over the Scottish town of Lockerbie, a small town just north of the English border. Eleven people on the ground were also killed as large sections of the plane plunged 31,000ft and crashed into residential streets below.

In extraordinary detail, DEEP DIVE reconstructs how the deadliest terror attack in Britain’s history unfolded’.

Countdown to disaster

Armed with intelligence about a looming terror plot in the skies, West German police raided a safe house on October 26, 1988 hoping to avoid an atrocity and save hundreds of lives. Inside, they found a bomb hidden inside a Toshiba BoomBeat 453 radio. Police believed the bomb, containing 300g of Semtex and intentionally designed to explode mid-air, was destined to tear apart an aircraft. The warning was passed to international security agencies. Images of the device were shared with governments and aviation watchdogs, alerting them to the threat.

“Ahmed al Ahmed,” Bernie Sanders wrote on Monday, “a Muslim father of two, risked his life to disarm a murderer who was shooting down Jews celebrating Hanukkah in Sydney. Religion must not divide our common humanity. We must stand together and end antisemitism, Islamophobia and all hate — no exceptions.” 

The superannuated socialist was not alone. Ahmed al-Ahmed has been hailed around the world, and deservedly so, as he prevented many more people from being killed.  Ahmed al-Ahmed is, however, more valuable to some, like Bernie Sanders, for his appearing to prove that the problem of terrorism is not a problem of Islam. 

It is not accidental that Sanders went out of his way to identify al-Ahmed as “a Muslim father of two,” while referring to the jihadi al-Ahmed tackled simply as “a murderer,” without noting that the murderer in question was acting in accord with the teachings of Ahmed al-Ahmed’s religion, which contains core texts teaching venomous hostility to Jews and including such indelible exhortations as “Kill them wherever you find them” (Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, 4:91, cf. 9:5).

Some Muslims, however, being better informed about their religion than Bernie Sanders is, demonstrated that they were well aware that the Bondi Beach murderers were Muslims. They knew that Ahmed al-Ahmed was a Muslim as well, and weren’t happy about that at all.

The Daily Mail reported Thursday that “Ramallah News, one of the most popular news outlets in Palestine,” by which the politically correct rag likely means Judea and Samaria, also known as the West Bank, as well as Gaza, “shared a story about Mr al-Ahmed's brave actions on Sunday.” Yet among Palestinian Arabs, al-Ahmed’s actions were not regarded as a cause for celebration: “Ramallah News' post about Mr al-Ahmed was quickly spread around Arab communities, which overwhelmingly condemned him for saving Jewish lives.”

Three days after the meeting, a father-and-son team of Muslims in Australia provided an unforgettable demonstration of why so many people fear and dislike Islam when they murdered fifteen Jews and injured forty others on Sydney’s Bondi Beach.  

But that was in Australia. Surely that sort of thing would never happen in Canada, would it? After all, in lovely Canuckistan, the government has an “Islamophobia czar,” and clamps down hard on anyone who doesn’t think that Islam is the warmest and cuddliest of the world’s religions.

And yet as unbelievable as it was, Canada’s National Post reported Friday that “a 26-year-old Toronto man has been arrested and charged with ISIS-linked terrorism offences and two other men are charged for alleged hate-motivated extremism targeting women and members of the Jewish community.” But, but, Canada has an “Islamophobia czar”!

It all started when police started to investigate “violent incidents of armed men trying to abduct women from the street” back in May and June. It ended up with a Toronto resident named Waleed Khan getting slapped with “various terrorism charges including participating in the activities of a terrorist group, facilitating terrorist activity, terrorist financing and conspiracy to commit murder in association with a terrorist group.” That terrorist group was the Islamic State, or ISIS.

Islamic State take extremist mission to Philippines.

Never thought I'd see this day... We've prayed for this day... We've prayed for Babylon to fall, and for God to free The Precious Soul of America from captivity to satan, and it's officially here. Thank You Jesus, and protect this man, My Lord. Father, I'm keeping my ears, eyes, heart, mind, and spirit this December, may we all pray for discernment what you are trying to tell us, and I will keep my lamp ready for when our Lord & Savior returns.

But Albo never late to a gay mardi gras or a swifty concert. I hope the world can see what happens when immigration is favoured over the publics safety. It’s called radical Islam. Say the words! Sack the entire Labor Government. Albanese has lost The Moral Authority to lead this country. He must take Burke and Wong with him as he leaves!

I'm an orphan never knew my real parents but Jesus Christ took care of me until now.. thank you Jesus for keeping me alive. Jesus saved me from severe demonic possession. There is power in the name of Jesus!!! I’m Iraqi Chaldean, born in Iraq lives in US , Jesus is Lord and he’s coming back. Jesus delivered my son addicted to drugs. He set him free. He has a job and an apartment. The sweetest son ever!

He's a bully, he thinks he the smartest one in the room, but all he is doing is twisting the gospel. Its so hard to watch this man. David was so patient and graceful. One is downright rude and the other is supremely polite... 

Many critics and public figures, including a former Indian Supreme Court judge, have called him an "unscientific idiot" and a "liar," accusing him of trivializing Islam, misrepresenting facts, and promoting fundamentalist or "pro-jihad" views that breed extremism. 

He has been banned from several countries, including the UK and Canada, and his organization, the Islamic Research Foundation (IRF), was banned in India for five years due to "objectionable and subversive" speeches.

COMMENT | Fahmi Reza is an attention seeker, but the artist-activist is seeking attention for all the right reasons and causes.

There was a time when the denizens of Madani were the opposition, and they embraced what Fahmi offered because they were too pusillanimous to speak truth to power as he did.

These days, Madani seems more interested in coddling the very forces it once claimed were destroying the country. To them, Fahmi is like that lone soldier on an island who doesn’t realise the war is over, and the supposed good guys won.

Fahmi, meanwhile, mocks the very constraints that are placed upon him. His old school dialectic of “elites and those in power” should tell you everything we need to know about his politics.

Hence, for activists like Fahmi, the war is never over because there will always be elites and those in power.

Robbie98 : If we want a living democracy we need to protect political cartoonist/ activists like Fahmi Reza . He reminds us that in a constitutional democracy there should be no sacred cows . 

We are a country which takes pains to put forward a view that majority oriented affirmative action policies are a necessity after 68 years of independence. We are proud to oriented and afforded previlages based on our race and not based on need . 

Yes , we need political satirist in our midst . As the author correctly points out " to highlight the absence moral,ethical , legal integrity " in our political and intellectual elites . Please do not harass cartoonists , political satirist like Fahmi in our midst. We need them to remind us to look in the mirror and that there should be no sacred cows if we hope to move forward as a progressive nation .
