“When you're left wounded on Afganistan's plains and
the women come out to cut up what remains, Just roll to your rifle
and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier”

“We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.”

The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."
Breaking News! Rumor: Zhang Youxia Is Dead? Hu Jintao, Wen Jiabao Demand Him from Xi!
Thursday, January 29, 2026
Since January 24, when the Chinese Ministry of Defense announced that the Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission, Zhang Youxia, and Chief of the Joint Staff Liu Zhenli were under investigation, a series of unprecedented phenomena have emerged in Chinese Communist Party (CCP) history.
Rumors and speculations have been circulating widely, and some have already been confirmed. Today, we have seen shocking new developments. This is a wake up call for the people under Winnie the Pooh to realize they either get rid of him or he will get rid of them. If Xi had them killed without trial or military tribunal it’s the end of Xi I just don’t see any military putting up with this nonsense!
I highly doubt anybody in power there will destroy the CCP rule. Too many people get rich that way.
Trump's Board of Peace mocks Palestinians' suffering
She should be happily rooting with her new Chinese husband instead of interfering in the affairs of the Palestinians
Malaysiakini : COMMENT | US President Donald Trump’s so-called Board of Peace is not a peace initiative. It
is a permanent concentration of power designed to legitimise
dispossession, commercialise destruction, and convert grave breaches of
international law into a branded property development project.
By
appointing himself chairperson for life and granting himself the
authority to select his own successor, Trump has constructed a
self-perpetuating body devoid of democratic mandate, legal
accountability, or international legitimacy.
The central objective
of the Board of Peace is to advance Trump’s openly stated ambition to
transform Gaza into a high-tech luxury destination, the so-called “Gaza
Riviera”. This
framing reduces the reconstruction of a devastated territory with a
right to Palestinian statehood to a real estate transaction.
It
treats land as an asset to be monetised and people as variables to be
managed, while Palestinian rights, consent, and sovereignty are excluded
entirely from the equation. Under this model, Gaza’s future is engineered not for its inhabitants but for the global wealthy.
CareOneCareAll : The daughter and deputy president quietly absent for months, appearing selectively once in a while to "champion" the father and president's "pet" projects after the father kena left right donating hard pressed taxpayers' money to hamas while owing so much tax refunds to more deserving rakyat and corporates.
You just wonder whether his daughter and her followers can do anything good and appreciative for this country.Now everytime open mouth like the father, its like shooting own foot.
Veteran 1972 : To add to those cowardly useless and spineless yellow bellied lily livered politicians, why are you not asking about the never ending saga of Teoh Beng Hock's death. Most Malaysians are sick of sympathies for warring Muslims. Which our useless politicians ignore.
Just Common Sense : When are Nurul Izzah, Charles Santiago and all the other losers at the bottom of this article be brave enough to demand an answer from Anwar Ibrahim as to the whereabouts of Amri, Koh, Ruth and Helmy who were abducted by rogue government agents 10 years ago but Anwar yet to address the issue even after 2 years as PM. Disgraceful and embarrassing.
Kajang pigeon : Firstly instead of building infrastructure the previous Hamas govt built tunnels. The Palestinians were complicit and I guess October 7th was the turning point . I believe trump is the best person to develope it.
Just Common Sense : Malaysians are abducted here off the streets in broad daylight by rogue govt agents and PM hiding under the bed but some of us busybodies looking at Board of Peace? What hypocrisy.
Doubtful : Please focus on local issues, plenty of them that requires your attention and dedication... Corruption, bullying of minorities, talibanisation of the people's lives, increased cost of living, poor education standard and so many more....
Don't try to be a hero at the international stage when you can't even tackle local issues....
apanama is back : Tackle local issues, such as Malaysian taxpayers' money waste, leakage, and corruption. Not to forget the cost of living.
Why is there a need to focus on something more than 7000 km away? Nurul and Santiago et al.,
NO ONE is going to listen to you, especially Donald Trump.
He will do what he thinks is correct. I am NOT a fan of Trump, but Trump can stop the Israel-Hamas conflict. Now, it is in phase two. I am following this issue very closely.
While Singapore and Indonesia are invited, both of you should ask why Malaysia is NOT invited? Because Anwar is a friend of Hamas. He claimed Hamas is a freedom fighter (my foot!).
Is this comment due to 'merajuk' because he is not invited to the board of peace, so you people need to badmouth the board?
You people can reject it, but who cares?
Whether the board is illegitimate, unlawful, and dangerous, let time tell. Trump will get the job done even if he needs to use force, quickly and violently, to disarm Hamas.
These people, Anwar and his gang, are worried that their so-called freedom fighter Hamas will become "Hari ini dalam Sejarah."
Citizen Supremacy : Gaza is another situation where Malaysians have the least say. You can shout from the rooftop but no one significant party is going to be bothered by your opinions and complaints.
Therefore, why not pay more attention to things that needs fixing here instead?
Nurul Izzah has lost her credibility and not many trusts her words now. Charles is using her to get back to mainstream politics. Thats all there is to this. Not Gaza.
Malaysiakini : PARLIAMENT | The long-delayed
littoral combat ship (LCS) project for the Royal Malaysian Navy has
suffered yet another setback, with sea trials postponed to April -
months later than previously scheduled.
Speaking in the Dewan
Rakyat today, Defence Minister Khaled Nordin said that since the entire
project has been delayed, the sea trial scheduled for October last year
did not commence.
“I want to clarify that the sea trial is indeed
delayed and will begin in April, while the delivery that was supposed to
be in August has been delayed by four months to December.
“Ultimately,
we as the customer want to ensure that the vessel is safe, complies
with specifications, and achieves the level of operational readiness as
expected,” the minister said in response to questions from Hisham Abdul
Aziz (PN-Tanah Merah). In July last year, Khaled said the first LCS entered its setting to work phase in May and was slated for sea trial in December.
Behind on progress
Admitting
that the ministry and the armed forces, particularly the navy, share
widespread concerns about the LCS delays, Khaled today told Parliament
that as of Dec 25 last year, the overall progress of the project is at
75.75 percent, instead of the projected 81.57 percent.
He noted that for LCS1, the progress stands at 82.90 percent, compared to the expected 96.52 percent. “This
progress covers the construction of the ship’s structure, installation
of major equipment, and integration of the ship’s systems.
“Although
there are delays compared to the original schedule, the ministry has
been informed by the Lumut Naval Shipyard that LCS1 has been
successfully launched into the water and is in the phase of installation
and integration of the ship’s main systems,” he added.
He
also said that preparations are being actively carried out to enable a
full sea trial to begin in early April, explaining that the vessel will
embark on its first sea-going on Jan 28 after a sea testing phase began
on Jan 20.
“The commissioning of LCS2 has been revised to August
2027. For the subsequent vessels, the commissioning of LCS3 remains in
December 2027, LCS4 in August 2028, and LCS5 in April 2029,” the
minister added.
BlueCougar1744 : Malaysia’s Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) programme was awarded in 2011 to Boustead Naval Shipyard (BNS), later renamed Lumut Naval Shipyard (LUNAS).
Since then, the project has spanned multiple governments and defence ministers, contributing to repeated delays.

YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT BEN SHAPIRO JUST EXPOSED ABOUT ILHAN OMAR TO HER FACE... SHE'S DONE!
Representative Ilhan Omar thought she could use her usual talking points to corner one of the sharpest debaters in the country. She was WRONG. Watch as Ben Shapiro uses 10 years of documented history, voting records....
....... and public statements to dismantle the "Squad" leader’s narrative in front of a live audience. She wears a fake white hat to show her black face. She is fake. CNN was not looking for fairness, they just underestimated Ben Shapiro.
With so much evidence against this obvious Enemy of America, why is she not in jail and after spending time in jail, Deported. She is so grandiose that she thought she could pull the racist victim card on Shapiro. She is disgusting and Shapiro is much too intelligent for her gaslighting bull.
WATCH UNTIL THE END to see the exact moment Ilhan Omar realizes she has no comeback.
Transcript
A Viet Cong platoon of thirty-two fighters captures an Aboriginal tracker attached to the Australian SAS. They believe they have scored a major intelligence coup. They believe this dark-skinned man with ancient scars will reveal everything about Australian patrol routes.
Two hours later, every single one of them is found hanging in the trees.
Arranged like ornaments on a nightmare Christmas tree. Boots tied around necks. Weapons disassembled and placed in mouths. And in the center — their commander. Still alive. Eyes held open with bamboo splints.
Forced to watch the methodical display of his entire command.
Five Australian soldiers did this. Just five. Without firing a single shot. Using methods so devastating that three governments would classify the operation for over fifty years.
They called him Ma Rung. The Phantom of the Forest. The Viet Cong called the operation a supernatural event. The Pentagon called it impossible. The men who survived called it the reason they never touched an Australian tracker again.
This is Operation Christmas Tree. The mission that never officially existed. The night that changed psychological warfare forever.
The fight at Goose Green in May 1982 was the most famous battle of the Falklands War, which saw British and Argentine troops struggle for control of the Falkland Islands. In the wake of the shock Argentine invasion,
Britain sent a hastily assembled Task Force to the South Atlantic charged with the job of restoring British sovereignty. The Argentine positions at Goose Green were thought to pose a threat to the British advance across the Islands and troops from the Parachute Regiment were sent to deal with it.
The attack began in darkness and the British troops were made to fight for every inch of ground by the determined Argentine troops. During the ferocious fighting, Lt. Col. ‘H’ Jones, who commanded the British attack, made a heroic lone charge on an Argentine machine position during which he was killed.
He was later awarded a posthumous Victoria Cross.
After 12 hours of bloody fighting, the Argentine position was finally overrun and the British advance on the capital Port Stanley could continue.
Moving pictures were beamed back to Britain of the aftermath of the battle, bringing home the stark realities of combat – a sobering reminder amid the political rhetoric and jingoism.
Tanks & Armored Vehicles Mass in Beijing, Xi Secretly Detains 5,000, China at a Critical Crossroads
Wednesday, January 28, 2026
In the video, a large number of soldiers and military vehicles, including tanks and armored vehicles, were seen gathering near Beijing West Railway Station. Netizens jokingly commented on the "three checks a day" and quipped that it felt like the "Hundred Regiments Offensive" was unfolding.
Through out the Chinese history , anyone who worked close to the emperor NEVER lasted long . Now is the emperor Pooh. This happens when you have a leader who wants to sit on the throne forever.Dictatorship. Of course western media doesn't care and is turning a blind eye. And this is what the left wants, too control you and all around your life.
Just look at whats going on in California and Minnesota. The ones stealing in the government are using the weak minded to do their dirty work and keep all eyes off them. God please keep us safe, you are what we and the rest of the world need now more than ever. Who said a college education is useless, it's good for indoctrination to the communist mindset.
I thought the teachers were supposed to be smart, wrong there the biggest fools of all.
Khaled: Prosecuting corrupt officers 'not enough' to cleanse armed forces
The guy who promised to streamline pensions of Veterans, yet the government appealed all that was in favor of the Veterans
Malaysiakini: PARLIAMENT | Putrajaya has
acknowledged that efforts to weed out and prosecute corrupt members of
its defence forces must be accompanied by long-term measures, amid a
slew of high-profile graft and abuse of power cases involving the armed
forces.
Defence Minister Khaled Nordin affirmed that the
government is prioritising moves to restore the rakyat’s trust in the
armed forces, including by enhancing the integrity of its personnel and
addressing governance gaps.
“Identifying and prosecuting those
involved (in alleged misdeeds) is far from sufficient. It will in no way
render the ministry pure and clean,” he said during a ministerial
briefing session in the Dewan Rakyat today.
“God willing, it will
not stop there. The Defence Ministry will continue to explore further
initiatives and opportunities to strengthen the credibility of the
ministry and the armed forces.”
Veteran 1972 : Investigate and prosecute all the Defence Ministers that should be the start. Why are they being absolved of their responsibility? Then follow up with the civilians working in Mindef. Then only the Generals who aided and abetted them. You will see results. Even if you need to slowly roast their balls, you will get the truth.
Go for the current cases. The money thrown down the toilet can be easily used to streamline the pensions. It started a long time ago, without any action being taken against the Defence Ministers. Remember the Panhard scandal? The the instant noodles scandal, where in the 70's a packet of the plain flat tasting noodles cost Mindef RM5 a packet.
The other scandal was the purchase of the PT-91M tanks from Poland, the factory in Poland closed down soon after the purchse was done. Polish OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) stopped producing certain key components, which led to maintenance challenges. Out of the 48 how many are functioning? So many other scandals.
Can the environmental impact of Islam really be seen from space? Is there a connection between resource management and religion? Is there a reason why Islamic countries are far more dangerous, less stable, and more prone to resource scarcity?
Is there a reason why Muslims always want to migrate to Christian countries? Is there a reason why Islam was more successful in conquering arid regions? In this video, we're going to dive into those topics.
I always ask if Islam is the best religion why are their society not working?
Europe Just Did Something to ISLAM — Never Seen Before in History
Europe is slamming the brakes on mass immigration. Sweden approves mass deportations, France moves to strip dual nationals of citizenship, Germany deports and bans radical Islamic groups, and Ireland cracks down after riots. Once-taboo policies now pass with applause.
This video explores why: rising crime, parallel societies, terror attacks, political backlash, and a looming automation crisis that makes mass low-skill migration unsustainable. From Sweden and Denmark’s hardline turn to voter revolts across France, Germany, and the Netherlands, Europe is choosing realism over denial. The era of blind multiculturalism is ending. A continental reckoning has begun—right now. Watch, decide, and discuss.
How does political correctness override historical evidence of Islamic invasions of countries and the awful consequences!
It did not go well. In this short (and slightly ridiculous) video, I read one brutal line from the judge’s ruling that basically sums up the entire case. Combative. Argumentative. Unreliable. A certified courtroom disaster.
Hijab thought he could debate a judge the same way he debates YouTubers. Turns out courts don’t reward shouting, rhetorical questions, or intellectual cosplay.
The result?
– The judge says his evidence is worthless
– The defamation case collapses
– He declares bankruptcy
– Then immediately starts threatening new lawsuits anyway
Yes, really.
We also look at his meltdown response, his sudden interest in the afterlife once this world stopped cooperating, and why he’s now apparently going after Tommy Robinson despite claiming he can’t pay legal costs.
This isn’t a deep legal breakdown. It’s a short, funny reminder that arrogance doesn’t play well in front of a magistrate.
Full breakdown of the original case is linked below.
Beijing Is Mobilizing Troops! Zhang Youxia Arrested, Reports of a Gunfight at Jingxi Hotel
Tuesday, January 27, 2026
On January 24, Chinese state media announced the fall of Zhang Youxia, vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission, and Liu Zhenli, a member of the Commission. Former Chinese officials revealed that Zhang and Liu's coup attempt failed.
After Zhang's arrest, CCP leader Xi Jinping grew concerned that Zhang's supporters might mobilize military forces to march on Beijing, potentially triggering a large-scale rebellion. Tensions were said to be rising in Zhongnanhai, the heart of CCP’s government. Democracy can be very messy at times. Coup is short for coup d'etat which is a French phrase. The 'p' is silent and is pronounced 'coo'.
Unless you mean that the CCP is encountering a chicken coop! Wouldn’t be surprise if a number of many other generals wanting to get the hell out of China, before they’re purged. So guys anyone wants to support the CCP?
To be taken with a veeery large grain of salt.
Canadian dissident writer Sheng Xue has published explosive claims about an alleged coup attempt against Xi Jinping that reportedly turned into a deadly gunfight at Beijing's Jingxi Hotel on 18 January 2026.
According to intelligence passed to Sheng by a source identified as "Mr X", Central Military Commission Vice Chairman Zhang Youxia and senior military figure Liu Zhenli planned to arrest Xi that evening, but the operation was compromised two hours before execution when someone tipped off Xi about the conspiracy.
Mr X's account describes Xi leaving the Jingxi Hotel immediately after receiving the warning, quietly arranging counter-measures while Zhang's forces remained unaware their plot had been exposed. When Zhang's advance personnel arrived at the hotel, they encountered Xi's security forces in what the source claims was a gunfight that killed nine of Xi's bodyguards and "dozens" of Zhang's personnel.
Xi then ordered immediate arrests of Zhang, Liu, and their entire families. The source notes Xi has maintained no fixed residence for years, constantly rotating between locations every few days, and suggests online speculation that Xi deliberately used the Jingxi Hotel as bait to draw out Zhang "is partly correct".
The source claims Zhang and Liu felt compelled to act because of Xi's relentless military purges, pointing to the successive removals of Central Military Commission members He Weidong, Miao Hua, and Li Shangfu. The conspirators reportedly believed their operation would succeed and saw no point protecting their families beforehand, as doing so would have exposed the plot.
Mr X adds that Xi had already planted numerous informants around their families anyway, making advance arrangements futile.
Xi's mother and sister, who live at the Shenzhen Guest House, were reportedly terrified upon learning of the attempt. Security measures around them have been dramatically increased, with the entire guest house now under strict lockdown and heavy external guard.
Mr X claims Xi himself was severely shaken by how close the threat came, describing the incident as having "badly frightened" the Chinese leader.
This would represent the fourth attempt on Xi's life or power, according to Mr X. He references a 2013 incident involving Zhou Yongkang, who allegedly sent an assassin that killed Xi's bodyguard and grazed Xi's leg with a bullet, after which Xi disappeared from public view for approximately 20 days before Zhou and his son were arrested.
The conversation draws parallels to Mao Zedong's tactics, specifically how Mao solicited criticism from Peng Dehuai about the Great Leap Forward before suddenly weaponising it into a political attack at a 23 July meeting.
Mr X speculates Xi now faces two paths: either abolishing the Central Military Commission and ruling until death with increasingly brutal centralisation, or rapidly stepping down under pressure from his frightened family.
Sheng observes the speed of the official announcement about Zhang's detention suggests Xi is using public messaging to warn others against similar actions, describing the situation as a "vicious cycle" where Xi's extreme suspicion and constant purges create the very disloyalty he fears, particularly as the CCP system operates as an opaque "black box" where everyone constantly schemes against one another.
When MACV-SOG Borrowed An Australian SAS Scout - And Refused To Give Him Back
In 1969, MACV-SOG borrowed an Australian SAS sergeant for one patrol. Thirteen days later, they refused to send him back. This is the true story of how Australian fieldcraft quietly changed the way elite American reconnaissance teams operated in Vietnam — not through firepower or aggression.
But through patience, observation, and a fundamentally different way of reading the jungle.
No exaggeration. No hero worship. Just the account of what happened when two military cultures met in the most dangerous operational environment of the war, and what American soldiers learned from a man who moved through the jungle like he was part of it.
Narrated from the perspective of a MACV-SOG patrol member who was there.
HISTORICAL CONTEXT:
Australian SAS operated in Vietnam from 1966-1971 as part of the Australian Army Training Team Vietnam (AATTV) and later deployments. Their reconnaissance techniques, developed in the jungles of Borneo and Malaya, emphasized minimal contact, maximum intelligence gathering, and what they called "being part of the jungle rather than fighting through it."
MACV-SOG (Military Assistance Command, Vietnam – Studies and Observations Group) ran classified cross-border operations throughout Southeast Asia. Their teams were among the most elite American units in Vietnam, but their tactical doctrine emphasized speed and aggressive action.
When these two approaches met during occasional exchange programs, the results were quietly transformative. This story represents what many Vietnam veterans remember about how Australian forces operated — without fanfare, without seeking recognition, but with a level of professional competence that earned quiet respect from allies and enemies alike.
If you or your family served in Vietnam, this story honors that tradition of understated excellence. This isn't a story about one military being "better" than another. It's about what happens when professionals from different traditions work together and learn from each other. The best American units understood this and adapted accordingly.
Pride doesn't mean refusing to learn. Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is recognize when someone knows something you don't.
Javier Milei SHOCKS The World by DEFENDING Donald Trump
Argentine President Javier Milei just stunned the international community by publicly and passionately defending Donald Trump against attacks from global elites, leftist leaders, and mainstream media. In a bold display of political solidarity that has infuriated the globalist establishment.
Milei declared his unwavering support for Trump's policies and leadership—sending shockwaves through diplomatic circles and proving that nationalist leaders are uniting worldwide.
In this video, we break down Milei's shocking defense of Trump and why it represents a global political realignment. From Milei's fiery speeches praising Trump's economic nationalism and rejection of socialist policies, to his condemnation of globalist institutions attacking Trump, his defense of America First principles and border security, and his alignment with Trump on free market capitalism and anti-establishment politics, we explore how two of the world's most controversial leaders are forming a powerful alliance.
Discover what Milei said that has leftist media in full panic mode, how the globalist establishment is responding with fury and diplomatic pressure, why South American politics is shifting toward Trumpism, and whether this signals a worldwide populist uprising against elite control.
Milei just drew a line in the sand—and he's standing with Trump.

Anwar turut menggesa bekas perdana menteri Najib Razak dan bekas menteri pertahanan Ahmad Zahid Hamidi perlu memberi penjelasan kepada rakyat mengenai pembabitan mereka dalam skandal tersebut.
Menerusi video di Facebook miliknya, Anwar berkata menteri kanan pertahanan Hishamuddin Hussein perlu memberi maklum balas mengenai siapa yang terlibat dalam isu ini.
"They Didn’t Blink" — Viet Cong Survivor Describes Australian SAS In Vietnam
That's me, with my back towards the camera, Major Razak Che Awang is looking on at the GOC who is having a chat with Cpl Benet Barong, on his left is Lt Col Mark Evans CO of 6 RAR. Right most is Brigadier Peter Cosgrove
This video tells the true story of a Viet Cong patrol that vanished without a firefight — and the Australian SAS unit responsible. Told from the perspective of survivors and enemy testimony, it reveals how small SAS patrols turned the jungles of Phuoc Tuy Province into a psychological battlefield where fear did more damage than firepower.
The PTSD of many Australians was exacerbated by the reception they received upon returning. There were protests whenever they arrived. They were portrayed as "child killers" and vilified by the leftists and media. Similar to what ICE is experiencing in Minnesota. Shame the Aussies weren't bigger in number and given more vital area like the parrots beak or fishook or border places like A Shau valley..Those hot bed places could have done with that different take and doctrine on the war...
I have trained with the Aussies, they were good, very good.
Riveting, scary, bold, unflinching, stoic—and yes, at times gory — D Swami’s Exigent Circumstances is a hard book to look at and even harder to look away from.
This is a soldier’s story told without cushioning.
The narrative moves with the urgency of a ticking clock, where lives are risked not for glory, but for a starving people who may never know the names of those protecting them. That moral tension—who is saved, who is sacrificed, and who decides—drives the book forward with relentless force.
The danger is constant and intimate. Swami puts the reader face-to-face with ambushes, exhaustion, and enemies who are neither abstract nor distant. The violence can be sadistic and gory, but it is never gratuitous; it reflects the brutal reality of facing an adversary that exploits cruelty as a weapon. These moments are unsettling precisely because the author refuses to flinch.
What elevates the book is its stoicism. Emotions are tightly controlled, spoken through action rather than confession. Fear is present, but subordinated to duty. Loss is absorbed, not dramatized. That restraint makes the story more powerful—and more haunting.
Exigent Circumstances is bold in its honesty and unflinching in its portrayal of what it means to stand between vulnerable civilians and imminent danger. It is a story of facing off against overwhelming threats with limited choices, where courage is measured not by survival, but by the willingness to move forward anyway.
This is not a comfortable read. It isn’t meant to be.
It is a stark, gripping account of war’s moral and physical costs—and the quiet resolve of those who bear them.
Raymond Ibrahim : In Egypt, the construction and renovation of mosques has reached staggering levels—over 13,900 since 2014,
costing nearly 25 billion pounds—while churches remain drastically
insufficient for Christians’ needs, and heavily restricted.
The numbers
alone reveal a striking imbalance in religious infrastructure,
illustrating the lived reality of discrimination against Egypt’s Coptic
Christians.
As of mid-January 2026, Egypt’s Ministry
of Endowments continues its expansive campaign to build and maintain
mosques across the country. On Friday, January 16, 2026, the ministry reported activity on 48 mosques: eight newly established, 35 replaced or renovated, and five maintained or further developed.
Looking at the broader picture, since July 1, 2025, a total of 482 mosques have been opened.
Of these, 372 were newly built or replaced and renovated, while 110
underwent maintenance and development. This reflects a steady effort to
modernize and expand Egypt’s religious infrastructure.
Since Abdel Fateh al-Sisi assumed the presidency in 2014, the cumulative
total of mosques that have been opened, replaced, renovated,
maintained, or furnished has now reached 13,971, with expenditures
estimated at approximately 24.886 billion Egyptian pounds.
This marks a
significant increase from February 2025, when 13,045 mosques had been
reported since 2014 at a total cost exceeding 21 billion pounds. In just
the past year, approximately 926 additional mosques were added or
refurbished, with spending increasing by nearly 4 billion pounds.
Muslim Student Gets Angry When Professor Goes Off Script To Debunk This
Actually, Hamas did say that they want to repeat October 7th over and over again until all the Jews are slaughtered. I mean you can pussyfoot around it all you want if you want, but the reality is intifada. Only sick people justify slaughtering innocents just to make a point.
As a high school teacher - it never ceases to amaze of the mentality of Muslim students seem already hardwired to defend every Arab cause to an absolutely unhinged degree. They're born in the West, children of immigrants, but they have a greater affiliation to a land and people they've never spent time with than the country that is providing them with everything. It's crazy.
It does seem to be a common Islamic tactic, commit an atrocity then claim to be the victim fearing a retaliation.
Sky News host Rita Panahi has blasted Jennifer Welch and "male Karen" Jim Acosta after they called for the arrest of US President Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
That woman who said kill ice agent should be arrested. These people are so corrupt I hope Don Lemon goes to jail. She's not upset with the discovery of MASSIVE fraud. Of course Minnesota was a happy place they were scamming Billions of dollars for doing nothing and sending it back to their country and Hamas.
Don, the first amendment protects your right to protest on public property, churches are private property, and you are trespassing! Lemon is actually anti Christian. Being gay in itself, then being a liar goes against Christian values.
Frightening innocent children. What a sick, cowardly action. This is among the highest forms of offense to humanity and to God. Evil walks among us.
Mohammed Hijab Goes On DRUNK Rampage After Douglas Murray BANKRUPTS Him In Court!
He’s the biggest hypocrite ever…even when I was still a Muslim, I found this man really annoying. He's probably not financially bankrupt; he's probably just ensuring he can't be made to pay damages in court. He's an agitator.
Douglas Murray was one of the very few Brits who spoke up for Hindus in Britain when Islamists were picking on them instead of dismissing it as "sectarian tensions," trying to both-side it or pretend they deserved it somehow. As a Bengali fortunate enough to have been born on the Indian side of the border - in Bangladesh, yet another Hindu was burned alive yesterday.
Race C, Race M, and PAS' con game By Commander S THAYAPARAN (Retired) Royal Malaysian Navy
PIS
Malaysiakini : "This is precisely why PAS has been consistent in rejecting DAP."
– Deputy PAS Youth chief Hafez Sabri
COMMENT
| PAS Youth provocateur Hafez Sabri is either lying or ignorant when it
comes to his claim of the consistency PAS has demonstrated in rejecting DAP.
In
2013, the press reported that PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang said that
Pakatan Rakyat states and political leaders were free from corruption.
And he said this during the opening of a Chinese New Year festival in
Kedah.Of course, Hadi’s definition of the systemic corruption that plagues this country is dodgy.
Just a Malaysian : When a community fails, its leaders fail, generations will suffer as the world gets more digital, complex and competitive. But here with have many of the community leaders happily blamed the NMs and feeling smug that they have the truth and will be looking forward to a great afterlife.
Look at Iran or other religiously run nation. The masses enduring life long sufferings making life like living hell. And yet blindly the rat followed the pipers...happily living and waiting to plunge their future generations over the cliff.
Veteran 1972 : You would love that won't you, can see through your hypocrisy. Who is destroying this country? Ask yourself and don't wiggle out of this.
darmakochi : "Zakir Naik, who claimed that it was better for Muslims to vote for corrupt Muslim leaders rather than honest non-Muslim leaders."
This entity should not be allowed into this country. He is a real threat to our multiracial country.
He ran away from his country of origin! I am puzzled why our government let him stay in our country whenever and wherever possible he is running down the non-Muslims!!! Something is seriously wrong with our top leadership.
The Forgotten Soldiers of Malaysia (Pre-2013 Veterans)
Veterans who fought in wars are increasingly forgotten, while peacetime service appears to be more valued. AFC is responsible for Pay and Pension for Armed Forces Personnel under Section 187 Akta 1972.
Simple truth A soldier does not serve a government. A soldier serves a nation. And a nation must never abandon its soldiers after service.
MAT is not responsible for the Veterans.
Veteran ATM kongsi kpd semua rakyat Malaysia bahawa tahun ini veteran tidak akan menyertai perbarisan sambutan Merdeka 31 Ogos 26. Let the judges conduct the parade. Let the judges conduct the parade. After all the judges got the 2013 back pay, now they got 30% increase. pic.twitter.com/xhJOWSJmAq
JHEV is responsible for all matters related to MAF Veterans.
That is why those who are in non pension group who earns less then RM 1038 is given RM 500 every month base on the policy set by JHEV and not MAT.
So any Review of Streamlining the Pensions for Veterans need to be discussed with JHEV - KSU/MENHAN to be brought to Government for approval. Pray all the high ranking veterans please lobby the correct people so that it can be brought to the attention of those who can better the lives of the Veterans, Widows and the Orphans. Do not let them, be destitute after sacrificing so much.
This painful reality is not imagined. It is the result of shifting political priorities, changing societal attitudes, and a growing disconnect between those who bore the cost of conflict and those who now govern in comfort.
In Malaysia, this injustice is most clearly felt by armed forces veterans who retired before 2013.
We are not asking for sympathy. We are asking for fairness, dignity, and recognition through policy, not parades.
Proven Service Needs No Symbolism
Pre-2013 pensioners do not need to prove patriotism by marching in parades or standing under the sun when called. Our patriotism was proven long ago—through lost limbs, shattered bodies, broken health, and lives permanently altered in the service of the nation.
We did not serve for applause.
We did not serve for slogans.
We served because the country needed us.
Yet today, many of us are treated as if our sacrifice carries an expiry date.
Pension Inequality: The Core Injustice
All that veterans who left service before 2013 are asking for is the streamlining and equalization of pensions.
Not handouts.
Not backdated windfalls.
Just equal pension for equal service.
Instead, veterans now in their late 60s and 70s—men who survived Confrontation, the Emergency, and other internal security operations—find themselves categorized as B40, or worse, B4, as though decades of service count for nothing.
Even fallen soldiers and disabled (OKU) veterans are placed in the same category.
Is this the value of our service?
I especially pity our Other Rank (non-officer) veterans, whose suffering is deeper, quieter, and more invisible. Their hope persists—but it grows thinner by the day.
A Trail of Broken Commitments
Several uncomfortable questions must be asked:
1. Why did the Armed Forces Council (AFC) decide to exclude pre-2013 pensioners?
Was this ever morally justified?
3. Where is the government’s care for those who once cared for it with their lives?
4. Is this delay a political strategy—postpone justice, then reverse course near elections to harvest gratitude and votes?
These are not rhetorical questions. They demand answers.
Gratitude Cannot Be Selective
Yes, one Defence Minister—from Amanah—deserves recognition for granting a RM500 allowance to all PJM holders during a single term. That act showed what political will can achieve.
But symbolic allowances cannot replace systemic justice.
For decades, the nation has witnessed massive defense procurement failures, mismanagement, and scandals costing billions—projects delayed, incomplete, or invisible. Yet when it comes to correcting pension inequity for veterans, we are told there is no money.
This contradiction is impossible to ignore.
Forgotten Conflicts, Forgotten Men
Veterans of Confrontation, the Second Emergency, and earlier security operations have almost completely disappeared from public memory.
Some conflicts were quietly erased—intentionally or otherwise—leaving those who fought them to age in silence, carrying trauma that civilians neither understand nor wish to confront.
While veterans are praised as heroes in speeches, many are privately viewed as inconvenient reminders of a past best forgotten.
Betrayal Is Dangerous
History teaches us a hard lesson:
No group is more dangerous than soldiers who feel betrayed.
Men who fought for a just cause—whether conscripts or volunteers—share intense bonds forged in combat. When peace arrives and their service is discarded, pride curdles into bitterness, and loyalty erodes into alienation.
This is not a threat.
It is a warning drawn from history.
Ignoring veterans does not produce stability. It produces resentment.
A Way Forward: Dignity Without Begging
We must not lose hope.
To restore dignity to veterans, I propose:
Retired senior officers and generals engage directly with the Defence Minister.
The AFC passes a resolution to equalize pensions, without insisting on backdated payments.
The government acknowledges this injustice openly and corrects it as a matter of national honor.
This is the least a grateful nation can do.
We approach this matter with pride and self-worth, not as beggars—not yet.
Conclusion: Justice Delayed Is Justice Denied
This is not about politics.
This is not about revenge.
This is about honoring service with substance, not slogans.
Have we lost a battle? Perhaps.
Have we lost the war? Not yet.
But every day justice is delayed, the nation risks losing something far more valuable than money—its moral credibility.
Saya Mej Mior Rosli TUDM (Bersara) @ MMR. Saya ingin mengucapkan jutaan terima kasih kepada semua Veteran ATM yang telah menyokong saya dan tim saya dalam perjuangan menuntut hak pencen kita yang kerajaan gagal tunaikan. Saya tetap berpegang teguh dengan keputusan yang dibuat oleh Mahkamah Tinggi KL.
Ya, dari sudut undang-undang kita menang. Semasa DSAI jadi pembangkang di PD NS dan di Tambun Perak saya telah membantu DSAI untuk menang dalam PRU kerana dia berjanji dengan saya untuk untuk membantu semua Veteran terutama untuk membayar penyelarasan pencen termasuk backdated. (Guess he lied like the typical politician)
Kita menang di Mahkamah Tinggi. YAA Puan Hakim telah mengatakan ahli-ahli MAT tidor! Saya juga telah membuat buktikan bahawa dalam bab pencen (dan beberapa bab lain), anggota-anggota ATM tidak tidak terikat dengan Akta Pencen 1980. ATM mempunyai Undang-undangnya tersendiri untuk mentadbir ATM, mengendalikan tatatertib dan menjalankan operasinya.
ATM tidak terikat dengan Undang-undang Perkhidmatan Awam walaupun anggota tentera terikat juga dengan undang-undang jenayah awam. Kerajaan Madani yang memerintah sekarang telah menipu Veteran dan ATM!
Victor Davis Hanson: Hegseth Did What Biden Called ‘Impossible’
Sunday, January 25, 2026
The criticisms against Sec. of War Pete Hegseth are “entirely political,” and anyone could have said the same things about “the Obama and Biden administration—and much more egregiously.”
Hegseth has turned the U.S. military around in ways no one thought was possible, like getting the military back to meeting all of its recruiting quotas, explains Hanson during today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson:
In a Few Words.”
Recruitment under the Biden administration fell “some 40 to 50,000 recruits,” and former Sec. of Defense Lloyd Austin’s Pentagon used excuses like “people are out of shape, in gangs, using drugs, etc.”
“The real cause was, as Pete Hegseth said when he came in, that people felt that the military was not emphasizing combat, battlefield efficacy… [Now,]
There is a record number of Army recruits. The military has met all of its recruiting. That is equivalent to the dramatic revolution on the southern border. Nobody thought we could close the border. We did. Nobody thought we could get recruitment back.
Pete Hegseth did,” argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words:” The world needs to listen to this brilliant man.
In this first part of the the episode, Brigitte Gabriel Dismantles the Peaceful Muslim Argument: Why the Majority Is Irrelevant. Is the "peaceful majority" a myth or just a distraction? Watch Brigitte Gabriel’s explosive response that redefined the global conversation on radicalization and security forever.
In 2014, during a Heritage Foundation panel on the Benghazi attacks, a Muslim law student named Saba Ahmed stood up to ask a simple question about the 1.8 billion peaceful Muslims worldwide.
What followed was a masterclass in high-stakes rhetoric. Brigitte Gabriel, founder of ACT for America, didn't just answer the question—she dismantled the entire premise by arguing that in the face of radicalism, a peaceful majority is historically "irrelevant."
This deep dive analyzes the "Logic of Scale" Gabriel used to shift the focus from individual peace to global, existential threats. By citing intelligence estimates that 15% to 25% of the Muslim population is radicalized, she calculates a force of 180 million to 300 million people—a number as large as the entire United States.
We explore her controversial historical analogies—from Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union to the Cultural Revolution—to understand why she believes passivity in the face of extremism is a fatal flaw.

Malaysiakini : COMMENT | Mirror, mirror on the wall, which animal is the most “busuk” (smelliest) of them all? This is the sad yet hilarious face of our politics. The
recent brouhaha over pig farming in Selangor led to many social media
posts slamming the animals and meat as “smelly and dirty”.
But don't chicken, cow and goat farms also stink? Some people find mutton too pungent to eat as well.
Puncak Borneo MP Willie Mongin responded
to the anti-pork side by telling Parliament: “Although pigs are smelly,
budu and belacan are worse. But we have never insulted those foods, we
practise mutual respect.
BluePanther4725 : The pig is far cleaner than the corrupted politicians and religious bigots. Muslims here condemn the oppression of Palestinians by Israel, but they have no qualms using their religion to oppress and discriminate the non-muslims. It's hypocrite, wrong and uncivilised.
Veteran 1972 : My neighbour has 3 cats and he is a convert, guess he did it for the love of 🐈⬛. They come over across from his house and 💩 in my compound. They stink up my compound. Not only that they rummage through garbage bags, which have pig offal.
The cats go back, in the evenings I see his kids hugging and mooching with them. What do I do about it? It's very exasperating. I walk very early in my compound, I use a 🔦 to walk to avoid the 🐈⬛ 💩. I haven't done anything drastic yet.
Cats are filthy too, my dog died due to old age. If he had been around none of this would happen, the last time cats came they died. I considered them as committing suicide. They didn't have science at that time, they had not started conquering and enslaving other advanced cultures yet. Then claiming as their own.
On the Other Hand : Exactly. The Persians were conquered and forced to convert. Then they renamed Persian civilization, which is actually Parsi civilization based on centuries of knowledge and critical thought, as Islamic civilization, which it is not. This is how they rewrite history to try to make themselves look superior.
Dr Peter Jebaseelan Jesudason : If Anwar can use his prestige as PM to persuade the MB to shelve a multi -million RM pig project, there is no reason why he cannot persuade Mr Nizam Jakel not to demolish a 120 year old Hindu temple in Kuala Lumpur because of its tremendous historical and religious significance.
Just Common Sense : That one cannot bro because anwar apparently only minority govt when it comes to controversial or difficult issues where he might lose malay votes. No such minority govt issue when sending RM200 million to Gaza.
Robbie98: Just to recall, when PM insisted and proceeded with a ceremony to confirm the relocation of the temple and replacement with mosque it was promoted as a victory for Islam . Therein lies the problem.
AyamKambingBack : Please get rid of the extremely "busuk" corruptors that are making our live more and more difficult by the day with soaring prices, taxes and various statutory fees.
These unpatriotic corruptors are really busuk hati type, they stole billions from the country and park them outside of Malaysia, making all of us the law abiding citizens to pay back the billions of debts created by them.
We, our children and our grand children have to bare all the burdens. Proposed that a death penalty be sentenced to the national traitors cum corruptors.
DonGetMeWrong : All animals stinks and smells. For Muslims cats deemed to be clean but their poop is the most smelly and the whole house stinks but they tolerant because it is halal but dogs not.
The problem arise because Muslims don't eat pork and deemed to be haram. It is more of a biased perception than anything else. Even the Muslims themselves do not know why pork is forbidden. The only reason they know is the Quran said so.
But in most extreme cases of starvation pork can be consumed if it is the only meat available. The intolerance of Muslims towards other races and religions boils down to the issues of halal and haram whereby other races and religions do not subscribe to such doctrine.
This is why it is very difficult for majority of Muslims to be inclusive as they think their religion is the only supreme one. Sigh.
