AN OLD map presents Europe in the shape of a queen holding scepter and orb, with Portugal as her crown, Spain as her face, France as her belowthe- neck area, lower Germany and Denmark as her left arm, Italy as her right arm (with Sicily as orb), and the rest of central and eastern Europe as the dres (photo credit: Wikimedia Commons)

Critics on campuses, in international forums, and across much of the media paint a picture of European Zionist invaders displacing an indigenous population, imposing foreign rule on ancient Arab lands. This narrative flips history on its head, ignoring millennia of Jewish connection to the Land of Israel while whitewashing the true architects of regional domination. 

It is time to ask the core question plainly: Who are the colonizers? The answer reveals a legacy of conquest and cultural erasure that reshaped the entire Middle East and North Africa, and one that continues to target the Jewish homeland today.

European media’s consistent refusal to report the full identity, religion, and immigration status of perpetrators in horrific crimes is not incompetence. It is policy.

In case after case, the pattern is unmistakable: when the attacker is a migrant (often Muslim or African), mainstream outlets default to vague descriptions such as “a man,” “youths,” “locals,” or even misleading nationality labels, while the victim’s background is sometimes highlighted. When the perpetrator is a native European, details flow freely.

This is not random. It follows a clear set of guidelines established at the highest institutional levels.

The 2018 Warnings Which We Ignored at Our Peril

In a Strasbourg press conference ahead of the Marrakesh conference, MEP Marcel de Graaff and colleagues warned exactly what the UN Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration would bring.

Though sold to the public as technically non-binding, it was designed to become the framework for national legislation and media behavior. And clearly that is exactly what it became.

De Graaff stated: “Criticism of migration will become a criminal offense… media outlets that give room to criticism of migration can be shut down… it will become impossible to mention that mass migration leads to explosive surge of rape and murder.”

Another MEP highlighted the UN’s earlier demographic replacement goals and the push to make migration a “human right.”

Who has never been a man of peace but rather the polished face of the most violent Islamism - the one that disfigured Syria under the banners of jihad and massacred Christians, Druze, and Alawites in collusion with Turkish and Qatari protectors.

The imposing door of the Great Umayyad Mosque opened with a theatrical creak. Macron and his host, al-Sharaa, removed their shoes and entered, followed by the delegations. Built 1,300 years ago on the site of a church, the mosque houses the relics of St. John the Baptist and the tomb of Saladin. Beneath Byzantine-era frescoes, the two signed energy and trade agreements.

Two devices meanwhile exploded near the Four Seasons Hotel where the French president had stayed. “Macron is safe," the Élysée immediately reassured. It is not a travel incident, but the background noise of a Middle East that has never stopped being itself. Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!

Macron embodies progressivism in sunglasses, believing he can tame radical Islam with symbolic gestures and energy subcontracts. But the Umayyad mosque, built on the ruins of a church, reminds him that Islamic conquest is never just a metaphor and that every Islamic conquest replaces rather than coexists.

Posterity may recognize both a brutal end to the Byzantine Empire and a stark warning of what happens when a weakened civilization faces an unrelenting conqueror. In significance, this event, where the ancient walls of the Eastern Roman capital crumbled under Ottoman cannon fire, surpassed a military defeat; it was the death knell for a millennium-old bastion of Christianity, signaling the inexorable advance of Islamic imperialism across Europe and the Near East.

In the context of the demographic trajectories and civilizational fatigue characterizing modern Europe, the fall serves as a chilling precedent. It illustrates how complacency, division, and sustained depopulation can lead to the subjugation of entire peoples, transforming sacred spaces into symbols of triumph for the victors. The tragedy—its causes, the harrowing siege, the final collapse, and its enduring consequences—provides lessons that Europe ignores at its peril.

The roots of Constantinople’s downfall traced back centuries, beginning with the gradual erosion of the Byzantine Empire, the eastern heir to Rome. Founded in 330 AD by Emperor Constantine the Great as New Rome, the city—renamed Constantinople—became a glittering metropolis of Orthodox Christianity, fortified by the formidable Theodosian Walls, a 5.7–6.5-kilometer network of ramparts, moats, and towers that repelled invaders for over a thousand years.

Finance Twitter : Malaysian Chinese have suddenly become a precious commodity this month. As expected, their value skyrockets every time there is an election. With the political campaign for the Johor state election entering its second half, every politician and political party treats the ethnic Chinese like a diamond, saying the Chinese are the best, the cleverest, the kingmaker, and whatnot.

Chinese voters form the largest voting bloc in about 12 of the state’s 56 seats, most of them urban. Hence, it makes perfect sense why UMNO orders its top racist punk – Akmal Saleh – to stay silent. Even Selangor Chief Minister Amirudin Shari, whose government is cracking down on temples and pig farming, shamelesslypretends to admire the Chinese by invoking the “Romance of the Three Kingdoms”. 

Everyone can smell Amirudin’s stinky lies when he said that Malays, Chinese, and Indians were equal citizens. And if he is trying to hoodwink the Chinese that he is “Liu Bei” by bragging about how Selangor’s governance record was built on leaders who were capable, courageous and empathetic, he has failed miserably. Liu Bei did not demolish temples, let alone close down pig farms.

Demonizing Cao Cao does not automatically make Amirudin the hero “Liu Bei” in the Chinese classical novel “Romance of the Three Kingdoms”. Whether Cao Cao was “really bad” is debatable. While Cao Cao was a ruthless warlord capable of immense brutality, at the same time, he was also a brilliant statesman and poet who stabilized Northern China during a chaotic era.

Did the Selangor Chief Minister realize that without the Five Tiger Generals – Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong – and strategist Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei would have likely perished as a minor warlord? Before Zhuge Liang joined him, Liu Bei was a wandering mercenary who bounced from warlord to warlord. He lost battle after battle because he lacked long-term, macroeconomic strategy.

But Amirudin isn’t the only Malay leader trying to appease and impress upon Chinese voters. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, whose People’s Justice Party (PKR) is on track to be wiped out, is begging the Chinese community to return home to vote in Johor on July 11. If only he had fairly and sincerely defended the minority races from UMNO Youth Chief Akmal’s act of terrorism for the last 3 years.

The racist Prime Minister’s best joke was not about urging young voters not to believe anti-Chinese political rhetoric at a time when he desperately needs the Chinese votes – despite the fact that he was the chief “enabler” in promoting and encouraging UMNO-Malays to attack the Chinese. Neither was it about his boastful – and laughable – claim that he was the leader who was fair to all races in the country.

The best joke of the week was when PM Anwar, who is also Pakatan Harapan chairman, cried, whined, and bitched that rivals have ganged up against him because his Madani government is tough on corruption. He even has the cheek to claim that his administration’s uncompromising policy towards those who steal public funds or abuse their positions for personal gain had made certain quarters uneasy.

“That is why, as you can see now, all these parties are joining forces to bring me down. Why? Because they know we are strict. They know we safeguard everything,” – he lied through his teeth while speaking at the PMX Meet-and-Greet programme for the Senggarang state constituency in conjunction with the Johor state election on July 5 (Sunday).

“I have come to Johor dozens of times. Did I take any land? No. Did I take any projects? No. Did I take any shares? No. We must instil this principle in our elected representatives. If we want a prosperous state, we must uphold integrity,” – Mr Anwar proudly proclaimed. What he did not want people to know is that corruption continues to flourish under his administration.

Did the PM facilitate a royal pardon for ex-PM Najib Razak, who had stolen billions in the infamous 1MDB scandal? Yes. Did he protect Azam Baki, former Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Chief Commissioner caught with his pants down in shareholding and corporate mafia scandals? Yes. Did Anwar quietly throw away UMNO president Zahid Hamidi’s 47 corruption charges? Yes.

Did Anwar Ibrahim work hand-in-glove with MACC to cover up Sabah Chief Minister Hajiji Noor’s corruption scandal despite a series of exposé videos released by a whistleblower? Yes. Did the MACC seize over RM100 million in cash stashed in a “safe house” linked to  aides of former Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob, but suspiciously no charges have been made? Yes.

Did PM Anwar fiercely defend his trusted aide, Shamsul Iskandar, despite being exposed for issuing a letter of support for six contractors involved in a hospital project? Yes. Did Anwar’s Cabinet award Bestinet with an “extension” in early 2024 after lobbying, despite an earlier promise to terminate the monopoly contract for the company known for exploiting migrant workers? Yes.

Did the Madani government sweep under the carpet the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) scandal involving RM9.14 billion contract to build six warships for the Royal Malaysian Navy? Yes. Did the MACC close both eyes on Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s former aide-turned-crony, Farhash Wafa Salvador, in corruption and corporate mafia scandals? Yes.

So, what type of fighting corruption con artist is Anwar Ibrahim trying to lie? Opposition Perikatan Nasional does not need to join forces with Barisan Nasional to topple Mr Anwar because the Prime Minister has done an excellent job in killing his own Pakatan Harapan coalition by marginalizing the minorities, protecting corrupt cronies, freeing UMNO crooks, introducing more taxes, and whatnot.

More importantly, to claim that rivals have ganged up to overthrow him means PAS (Parti Islam Se-Malaysia or Malaysian Islamic Party) and UMNO (United Malays National Organization) must be super corrupted. The burning question is why the MACC has yet to arrest and charge those in PAS or UMNO whom he suggested were dirty, thus wanted to bring him down?

In the same breath, Anwar was contradicting himself when on one hand, he called on Johor voters to give Pakatan Harapan (PH) the opportunity to govern the state to ensure “clean governance”, yet on the other hand, PH Johor had not raised any criticism about corruption in the state since November 2022. He has to make up his mind whether the Johor government was corrupted or not.

Exactly why the Premier is still begging when he is currently Malaysia’s “most popular” political leader, holding a 52% approval rating according to a nationwide poll released by the independent pollster Merdeka Center, is beyond comprehension. He should have faith in the Democratic Action Party (DAP) under the leadership of Anthony Loke to deliver 95% of Chinese votes for PH.

Amusingly, he made a spectacular tactical blunder – arrogantly bragged that whatever the outcome of the Johor state election, he would remain as Prime Minister. If that is the case, then it doesn’t matter whether the disillusioned and disgruntled Pakatan Harapan voters stay at home or cast their ballots for rivals to teach Anwar Ibrahim and his gang a lesson, no?

Equally hilarious was the absence of the usual screaming of “Reformasi” by the PKR president. Unable to sell its traditional gimmick to hoax gullible voters, the fake reformist has resorted to selling anti-corruption, moderate politics, a fair and clean government, and all types of promises meant to be broken once the election is over.

However, the common issues that unite the voters of Johor – regardless of ethnicity – are the high cost of living, high property prices and lack of affordable housing, traffic congestion, lack of good job opportunities, and water crisis driven by surging demand from a booming data center industry, frequent river pollution, and droughts. Mr Anwar is selling the wrong product to the voters.

But if Umno thinks the showing is because it wants a pardon/house arrest for former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak, they are sadly mistaken - evidence is that line of reasoning has no basis given Umno’s declining fortunes over this previously.

Veteran 1972 : The real spoiler is not BERSAMA, it is Anwar Ibrahim with the extremist views of the Muslim Brotherhood which has been banned in a majority of the Middle East. 

Yes PMX wants to Molly Coddle them. The writing is on the wall. He is too brainwashed along with his cohorts. Everyone better wake up, name me one Islamic country that has been successful and tolerant?

Mr Forked Tongue Of The DAP

Although he did not explicitly name the party or individuals, he claimed the Negeri Sembilan coalition government leadership should have come together to weather a crisis.

However, he said some quarters chose to stab them in the back and attempted to topple the state government led by PKR’s Aminuddin Harun.

Veteran 1972 : Ah Loke ah, what about you betraying all your loyal supporters? Pig farms, matriculation, UEC, not bothering to talk about the heights of temples and churches, whilst your allies and Madani are chipping away at our rights? Stand up for us or just plain step down!

BlueShark1548 : PKR failed because DAP compromised its principles and allowed Anwar to pander to Malays who did not and will not support him. DAP was Anwar's silent collaborator. Watch whether Anwar dares to stand in a Malay majority constituency in GE16.He would not even dare stand in Putrajaya, the seat where many civil servants lived.

Anon2000 : Traitors? Loke of DAP calling others traitors? The entire DAP are traitors. Fooled us all (with that chameleon) to vote for you in the last elections. And you call others traitors???

Kingsman : Anthony Loke you are the cost of the downfall in the DAP

On Sept 27, a day after the Fifa announcement, he declared in a video on Facebook that the players received their citizenship after a thorough vetting process, saying: “In this case, we complied with everything (citizenship laws). “When the decision was made, we followed due process according to existing regulations. That’s on our part.

“And the process of giving citizenship is very thorough. The chief secretary (of the Home Ministry) will chair the committee… we study every document submitted.”

Dr Peter Jebaseelan Jesudason : What does one expect from a backdoor minister? Nasution lost in the 2022 parliamentary elections yet was brought into parliament via a senatorship and given the most important ministerial position of Home Minister. Now we know why. 

Nasution was a loser minister who would naturally give blind loyalty to Anwar. The UMNO Baru status was hanging in the balance. Zahid had flouted the UMNO party constitution by postponing the Presidential elections beyond the limits of the party constitution. 

As such, the party stood to be de-registered by the Registrar of Societies. How convenient that the Home Minister invokes Section 70 of the Societies Act which gives him the right to override the provisions of the Societies Act. 

Even though legal, the optics of what Nasution did and by extension the Prime Minister Anwar, looks appalling because Anwar had promised from the beginning that Madani would have " zero tolerance for corruption ". Rafizi must have been seething at what Nasution did in order to save UMNO from probable de-registration because of Zahid flouting UMNO's own constitution. 

Zahid's position in government would have been untenable if UMNO had been de-registered. The corollary being, the likelihood of the DNAA of his 47 corruption charges would have been remote. 

To have the unelected loser minister Nasution being given the prestigious and powerful Home Ministry and his rival Rafizi who was far more popular in PKR and who at the time held the Deputy Presidency of PKR, being given the inconsequential Economic Ministry which played second fiddle to the Finance Ministry, was a slap in the face. 

Rafizi had every reason to sulk and this was evident by his Trappist Monk silence soon after the ministerial appointments. Anwar was undermining him in an attempt to revive the fortunes of his daughter, another loser in the 2022 elections and who had been inactive in PKR, but yet she was touted and promoted for the Deputy Presidency. 

Rafizi saw the writing on the wall and decided to throw in the towel and form a new party. Political corruption has plagued Madani from the outset because of the poisoned chalice Anwar had to swallow from, by bringing in UMNO into the coalition in order to form Madani. 

UMNO has been synonymous with corruption throughout its long history. Indeed, former UMNO PM Najib is in jail for corruption and is facing a further sentence for his prime role in the 1MDB multi-billion dollar kleptocracy. The football foreigner naturalisation scandal is a symptom of political corruption and sadly it has also implicated the Johor royal household.

Follow the money. Who paid to make this evil movie? It is Qatar, along with Gulf and Islamist businessmen, who are funding the production of these films. Reynault De Chatillon did not kidnap and rape Saladins sister. He died a martyr refusing to deny Christ and then almost a thousand years later, some hack director makes him a bloodthirsty murderer. 

Disgusting it honestly is. They’re really not even trying to hide the propaganda at this point. All these lies are to brainwash our kids. The Crusades were a direct response to Islamic destruction of Christianity in N. Africa and the Byzantine.

Thank you for this awareness & educational video. God bless you. But if you ask them about it, they will deny = TAQIYA. And to think Egypt was a nation with a Christian majority for approximately 1,000 years, from the 4th to the 14th century….and see this….just disgusting….They curse us 5x a day

In a statement this afternoon, the party’s central executive committee (CEC) acknowledged that a political party cannot judge itself, as this is in the hands of voters. “DAP will listen more closely, strengthen constituency services and improve how we communicate and govern. We carry the lessons from Johor into Negeri Sembilan with humility, discipline and the determination to work harder.

“Johor has delivered its message. We will learn from it. In Negeri Sembilan, we will continue to fight positively to secure a fresh mandate and continue a stable, moderate administration that serves all,” the CEC said. Emphasising that every vote received represents trust while every vote lost serves as a sign and a signal, the CEC said it had identified policy, political, organisational and communication issues that require further attention.

For Negeri Sembilan, which will go to the polls on Aug 1, the CEC said it would defend its seats with eight incumbents and three new faces. “We enter this election as part of the incumbent state government, with a record of administration, experience and a team ready to receive the mandate to govern once again.

“Our campaign in Negeri Sembilan will be positive and forward-looking. We will highlight the state government’s achievements, development plans, solutions to the people’s concerns and candidates capable of serving. “We want voters to make their choice based on track records, policies and the future of Negeri Sembilan, not divisive politics,” it added. Loke, who is also the Negeri Sembilan DAP chairperson, will defend his Chennah constituency, which he has held since 2013.

Silver lining

Yesterday, Malaysiakini’s analysis of voting trends from the 15th general election found that in a straight fight, BN could unseat Loke if PAS throws its support behind the coalition. The 36-seat state legislative assembly comprises BN (14 seats), DAP (11), PKR (five), PAS (three), Bersatu (two) and Amanah (one).

Reflecting on the Johor election, the CEC said the outcome was not what the party had hoped for, as its representation was reduced from 10 seats to six, but it also saw a silver lining in the number of votes it received.

“The support we received was not broad or balanced enough to retain four decisive seats. We accept the responsibility to understand, address and improve from this. “After a prolonged period of multi-cornered contests, support for our challengers consolidated behind a smaller number of candidates. In this far more challenging landscape, DAP retained six of its 10 incumbent seats.

“Across those 10 seats, DAP candidates received 226,592 votes, compared with 159,769 votes in 2022. The increase in total votes does not negate the loss of four seats. However, it shows that DAP still has a strong support base to defend, expand and translate into victories,” it added.

47AK : The Johor defeat should be a wake-up call. If DAP is marching towards the Negeri Sembilan frontline, it must first learn the right lessons. The elected representatives, both MPs, and their political secretaries must be humble, approachable, and genuinely people-friendly. Public service is not reserved only for party supporters. They were elected to represent everyone, regardless of which party they voted for or the colour of their skin. Arrogance, selective service, and political favoritism will only alienate voters. Respect, fairness, and equal treatment are what people expect from those entrusted with public office. If these lessons are ignored, Johor may not be the last setback.“

World Citizen : DAP will get another drubbing in NS because it is the same old same old. They cannot do much within the next 2 weeks. There is a suggestion for the party. DAP should put up a new leadership team ahead of their national convention in August this year. Show to the electorate in NS what this new team will do once elected by the party. 

No more Anthony Loke and his cronies who have failed its supporters over and over again. They were shown a hard lesson in Sabah but the party did nothing to change. Now they got another big slap in the face in Johor but still nothing. So you either wait for another humiliation or do something drastic.

apanama is back : First things first, DAP, you need to kick out Anthony Loke because a fish rots from the head down. To save the body (DAP), you need to chop off the head (Loke). The buck stops with Loke!

Earlier, the Malacca State Constitution (Amendment) Bill 2026 was passed in the legislature by a show of hands, with 23 assembly members voting in favour and five against.

“Given that we have rejected the motion tabled by the government, we cannot reject it and remain in the government at the same time. That is not fair.

Black Eagle : Akmal Resigning? This KAKI KELENTONG will resign if he has principles. Knowing him well enough by now, so please don’t waste your time. Can you imagine such characters being tomorrow’s leaders, asking others to do what they were supposed to do first. Shameless!

BusinessFirst : On Akmal's resignation by now you know this KMI types. Promises are meant to be kept by others not them. LKY knew this a long time ago and led Singapore out of Malaysia.

wayang : Not surprised, think once Umno becomes strong with Madani help, they will kick out DAP.

However, the reaction of Pakatan Harapan, especially DAP leaders, seems to reflect a state of continued denial with very little admission of what went wrong in a disastrous campaign for the coalition.

When I first projected a landslide victory for BN in Johor, about one week into the campaign, this projection was met by scepticism among some Harapan leaders.

A Little Bit Crazy : Alamak Professor Ong, From my own observations and feedbacks from many people , as long as these two DAP YBs below, do not join the N9 campaigns, DAP can more likely retain their seats. A. Nga Kor Ming B. Liew Chin Tong. 

Nga likes to self performing, too arrogant, the more he speaks, the more Malay voters will vote for BN. Liew likes to stand on higher moral ground, to analyse this and that, nothing much relevant to the ordinary livelihood of rakyat. He should be a Research Professor in Oxford University, not as a Deputy Minister in Malaysia. If PH wants to win in N9 State Elections, few simple things to do first. 

1. Arrest the Melaka Polices who shot and killed the 3 Indian guys. This can win back Indian voters. 

2. Arrest those Corporate Mafias who pakat with MACC. 3. Arrest or take immediate actions against Azam Baki for his shareholding scandal. This can win back many non bumi voters. Mr. Anwar Ibrahim, as the PM of Malaysia, he has the enormous responsibility and power to right any wrongs. Don't hide behind or be blocked by any bureaucratic procedures and little neporeans to do the right things. 

Common senses must prevail, if a weak Prime Minister is hesitant in taking actions against the criminals, no rakyat will feel safe. When most rakyat, especially non bumi don't feel safe, we walk away, we migrate overseas, we move our assets overseas, we go to any other places which welcome us, we abstain from voting.. 

For two decades, non bumi have supported strongly and built up the support base of PKR and DAP, and yet, one Akmal, one Hadi, one Indian temple, a few brutal enforcement officers, some lazy government servants, some ridiculous government office security guards, some corrupted politicians, can destroy the credibility of PH, so much so that, selective prosecution, selective actions were taken? 

Broken promises, Reformati.. Why? Why? Why? Why allow a good hand of cards, be destroyed by those irresponsible, greedy people? Mr. Prime Minister, please stand up like a StateMan. Do your jobs properly, without fear and favour. Be firmed. Don't throw away your idealism to build up a Fair Malaysia for all Malaysians. With non bumi supports, you can still win in ge16. Forget about the bumi votes, they want to support PAS and BN, let them be. 

You should return to seek supports from the non bumi voters, we are your strongest base. You too should seek more supports from East Malaysia voters who are mostly non bumi or bumi with more open minded. Go back to search for the original spirit of Reformasi. Stick to it. You can come back stronger.

“Harapan’s window to change course is closing rapidly,” said the former DAP MP. Charles said it would be ignorant to view Johor merely as an election defeat.

“It was also a referendum on broken promises. Ignore it, and Negeri Sembilan (which will hold its election on Aug 1) may become the next chapter in the same story,” he added in a statement.

Charles, who had claimed to have walked into an “inferno” during a meeting with Indian community leaders ahead of the Johor election, said the answer was not better political messaging but a return to the reform agenda that brought Harapan to power.

He said the agenda should begin with concrete action, including:

BlueLeopard0972 : No U-turns in sight. Anthony Loke’s belligerent claim that the upcoming N9 polls will be a "different story" shows just how deluded and disconnected the central leadership has become. ​ 

Brilliant strategists and independent voices like Dr. Ong Kian Ming and Charles Santiago have already sounded the alarm, yet the current leadership remains blindly subservient to the Anwar and Zahid agenda. ​ 

To keep the peace in this compromise coalition, you have systematically hollowed out DAP's own backbone. By quietly purging and pushing away principled stalwarts and outspoken grassroots champions—from heavyweights like Lim Guan Eng, to veteran leaders like Chong Eng, Ong Kian Ming, Charles Santiago and legacy voices like Kasthuri Patto and Phee Syn Tze, you are alienating the very people who built this party. ​ 

YB Anthony Loke, the grassroots are absolutely sick and tired of your broken, empty promises of "introspection" after the disastrous wipeouts in Sabah and Johor. The buck stops with you. Instead of leading the party into a predictable, historic rout in N9, when are you going to do the honorable thing, take accountability, and RESIGN?

apanama is back : At least Charles agrees with me. Charles, do not waste time with idiots. Let's let the voters kick Harapan out, once and for all, in GE16. Until then, let them live in their own cocoon, with denial and delusions.

JKT : With Anwar leading the coalition...PH is assured of extinction

Tiada Harapan Lagi

They recycle lazy cliches that the Kancil party had “split votes” and caused them to lose. 

But the facts from Malaysiakini prove this assertion wrong; Bersama received few votes, and only affected Harapan in two marginal seats.

BluePanther4725 : All good suggestions, especially point No.4 that Anwar should step down. Anwar is instrumental in the defeat of PKR and Harapan. His poor leadership, poor judgement and pleasing UMNO are all costly and stupid mistakes. 

Anwar should invite Rafizi to take over as Chairman of PKR before GE16. Anwar is truly not fit to lead Harapan or the country. If Anwar doesn't step down, DAP and Amanah should consider leaving Anwar or booting him out from Harapan. There is no Hope for Harapan if Anwar is its leader.

MichaelLee : Well thought out ideas. Will PH do it? No. DSAI will rather let Rome burn than to give up his throne.

On the Other Hand : She is one of the problems, but the problems began when Anwar came out of jail. It is now clear that he was never sincere about Reformasi. 

He and his family members just used that as a slogan to get him out of jail, and hoodwinked the public that they were there for the greater good of the country. That turned out to be hogwash (that actually pollutes our country), rather than the non-existent hogwash that only Islamists can see or smell in Selangor.

- Jack Nicholson as Frank Costello in The Departed (2006)

COMMENT | I have been following the case involving executions in Durian Tunggal, Malacca, since the audio recordings were making the rounds on social media.

I do not know if many people know this, but while the recordings of the men’s pleas were horrifying rational Malaysians, there was another recording in Tamil that claimed these men were criminals, thus there was no need for any public outrage.

libra : The actions are evil and there is no legality. The fact that they are willing to lie, not to live in Honesty says, they are even greater sinners than the wrong doers. What a shame.

Exile : I thank Thayaparan for keeping the issue of deaths in police custody alive in the public consciousness. Without persistent journalism and public discussion, these cases risk becoming mere statistics, soon forgotten until the next tragedy occurs. 

As James Joyce wrote of the artist's role, it is to "forge in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race." In a similar spirit, writers who continue to highlight these cases help forge the nation's conscience by refusing to allow uncomfortable questions to disappear from public view. 

One of the most disturbing perceptions among many Malaysians, particularly within the Tamil community, is that a disproportionate number of those who die while in police custody are young Tamil men. Whether this perception is fully supported by official statistics or not, it is sufficiently widespread that it deserves serious attention. 

It calls for transparency, independent investigation, and public accountability. If a community comes to believe that its members are being targeted because of their ethnicity, every custodial death becomes more than an isolated tragedy. It becomes part of a broader narrative of injustice. 

That perception, whether ultimately borne out or dispelled by evidence, can only be addressed through credible investigations and equal application of the law. For the sake of justice and national unity, these deaths must never be ignored or normalized. 

Keeping the issue alive is not about inflaming racial sentiment; it is about ensuring that every Malaysian can have confidence that the law protects all citizens equally.

Instead, it resorted to juvenile fearmongering, most embarrassingly exemplified by DAP deputy chairperson Nga Kor Ming. The tactic backfired spectacularly, dealing a resounding blow to a coalition that is already haemorrhaging voter support and public trust.

YellowPigeon2988 : PH and DAP are still in denial after the landslide win by BN! Wake up, wake up before it is too late. The frustrated voters from Johor, as well as the voters from Sarawak have already indicated to you, AI and AL. You still want to wait to see NS, Melaka & GE 16 elections?

Raja Chulan : If Anwar can facilitate Ahmad Zaid an acquittal when a prima facia case was already established by the high court, we know then there is no 'Keadilan". it is all bull @#it. Anwar will do anything to stay as PMX. 

So, in that case why not vote for BN after all and have the possibility of Ahmad Zaid as the next PM. The voters are not stupid as PMX might think. Remember the Masjid India temple episode? The Indian votes will not forgive PMX. Wait lah for GE 16, PMX will be history.

Anon2000 : The term “asalkan bukan Harapan” is wrong. It should read “asalkan bukan Anwar”. Any party tied to or linked to Anwar has no hope of winning any future elections.

Ranjit Singh Malhi : Under its current leadership, DAP appears to have been transformed from lions into lambs, and from eagles into sparrows. A change at the very top is essential if the party is to avoid fading into political irrelevance in the next general election. 

I have expressed this view repeatedly over the past two years. We need leaders who will courageously defend the legitimate interests of all communities in accordance with the founding vision and the Federal Constitution. 

Let me repeat: Malaysia is a secular, multi-ethnic and multi-religious nation. What matters most is to create a united, just, inclusive and progressive Bangsa Malaysia (Malaysian nation) for the benefit of future generations.

In a short analysis posted on Facebook, Pua (above) set Perling as the clearest example, where Harapan lost by approximately 1,800 votes while Bersama polled nearly 3,000 - a margin he suggested could have swung the result the other way.

Veteran 1972 : Have a modicum of self respect DAP, you betrayed the voters by collaborating with a known supporter of Hamas. Pig farms, ring a bell, demolition of a Hindu temple, claiming it as a victory for Islam, talking down to a young India student who was worried about here future,, overseeing a conversion of a young Hindu, denying brilliant non Muslim students tertiary education. Ring a bell? 

Just gulung your tikar and get out of PH, after all his broken promises you still want to lie in bed with a master betrayer and fibber. Do not wait and see if you can win more seats in N9. It will NOT happen! Get out now and salvage your pride, before you are tarred and feathered. There is no hope for you now, you will go the way of MCA and MIC. People who do not learn tend to repeat history. Have the balls to say it was PMX who was the spoiler!

ipoh pp : TP should look into whose doings led to the forming of Bersama. It's one man's arrogance to continue his family line. He cast the jewel he had .Does not mean T that all votes that went to Bersama would have dropped into yr lap. Come of it. Don't look for excuses. Am sure you can do better than this!

Lizard : Tony should be smart enough to know why DAP lost, why PH loss. Why BerSama was born and why your PM done badly. To blame... 

Well, Blame it on sleeping politician Nurul who just get itchy to kick Rafizi out from PKR. To cry now is too late, BerSama will continue to be a spoiler in Negri Sembilan and all the states as well as the national election. 

Confucius teaches you not to burnt the bridge after crossing it. Why challenged Rafizi from PKR second post after he help PH win in last GE.

GrayParrot9290 : PH must not blame others for their downfall. It all boils to the Rakyat anger especially non Bumis towards Pmx and PKR. PKR will drag down DAP also!

On the Other Hand : The biggest spoilers for PH, whether PKR or DAP, were Anwar Ibrahim as PMX, and Anthony Loke as DAP Sec-Gen, and perhaps even due to their coterie of kaki-bodek sycophants within both those parties. 

The root causes of PH's failures are its current leadership and its abandonment of the principles upon which it was formed, and lie within the party and not outside. Rafizi remembers what those principles were, but you, Tony, have clearly forgotten. That is why Bersama was formed.

Best movie of 2026. It's really something that people will be outraged about the movie portrayal, but not by the actual violence happening on the street. The government is illegitimate. The real tyrants are the governments.

The failures of authorities to protect vulnerable girls, and why she believes similar threats still exist today. Sammy shares her story of survival, recovery, and advocacy, while also addressing the difficult cultural, political, and social questions surrounding the scandal and its aftermath. 

Why were so many warning signs ignored? What lessons have been learned? And what does justice look like for survivors? This is a sobering conversation about courage, accountability, and the responsibility to protect the most vulnerable.

The ringleader received a 35-year sentence, with others also receiving lengthy prison terms after being convicted of multiple serious sexual offences involving grooming, coercion, and repeated abuse. 250,000 8-12 year olds. These are real victims. Horrible. 

Police, social workers, politicians all knew and let it happen. Starmer's frightened of his own shadow, he's a coward and a traitor to Britain. He's the absolute the worst. This is still happening all over the Uk. This is way worse than the Epstein files. Death penalty for everyone involved. Those that raped and those that covered up.

Known for boxing five movie critics, making more than 40 films, and later opening a top-rated restaurant before returning to Hollywood, Boll shares the remarkable story behind one of cinema's most polarizing filmmakers. So grateful for this guy. Terrific interview! Total respect to this producer brace and unapologetic! Need more like him! Time to wake up and end suicidal empathy that is destroying everything. 

I am a retired conservative public, private, teacher with experience in inner city, rural , private schools. I Loved the interview, loved the movie ‘Citizen Vigilante’…excellent messages to leaders in all countries. There is trouble brewing when you have two sets of rules/accountability, when you do not protect the citizens you took an oath to protect.

Many jihadists, building on the Palestinian model, increasingly see Kashmir as prime land to conquer: the next great cause for global jihad.

In June 2026, Pakistani paramilitary forces opened fire on protesters in... Kashmir. The protesters were not armed rebels. They were ordinary Muslim residents — traders, students, lawyers, transport workers and women — demanding cheaper electricity, affordable wheat flour and fairer treatment from the authorities that rule them.

Sit-ins drew more than 70,000 people chanting "Pak Forces Out." What began as an economic protest gradually became a broader challenge to Pakistan's administration of the territory.

For nearly eight decades, the "two-nation theory" has provided the moral and political framework through which Pakistan has justified its authority over Kashmir. The Muslim crowds in Kashmir chanting "Pak Forces Out," however, have delivered their verdict on that claim. What made the protests politically significant was not their scale, but their target: Muslim Kashmiris rising against Pakistan itself.

[T]he Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC)... has an established mechanism for addressing the Kashmir dispute.... The OIC's selective outrage — loud on India, silent on Pakistan's abuses — exposes its hypocrisy.

Despite Pakistan's persistent claim that it is the rightful protector of Kashmiri Muslims and that the Indian-administered portion also belongs to it, Muslims in Pakistan-administered Kashmir are openly rejecting this narrative, telling Pakistan that it is not their protector -- that they are better off without its rule. This is particularly striking given that Muslims in Indian-administered Kashmir enjoy greater political rights, economic opportunities, and development compared to those living under Pakistani administration.

By bravely confronting the very state that claims to embody Muslim "purity" and protection, the Kashmiri Muslim protesters have dismantled the moral foundation of Pakistan's narrative from within.

While jihadists, with Pakistan's active encouragement, have been attempting to turn Kashmir into the next major jihadist stronghold and battlefield against non-Muslims after Gaza, the voices of Kashmiri Muslims chanting against Pakistani forces have been rejecting the idea. The founding myth of Pakistan as the "pure" Islamic homeland and true representative and protector of Kashmiri Muslims has visibly collapsed.

We should’ve wiped out Sulu invaders, says retired Brigadier General

This is an opportune moment where you can make a significant or meaningful change by voting out candidates who are known to be corrupt irrespective of which party they peddle under; and you have the sole power in your hands to vote a vying candidate with an admirable if not impeccable personal character, respected for his / her knowledgeable disposition  and has a track record demonstrating genuine care or concern for the well-being of the people.

You must have seen and read what some past politicians had done to the country. Undoubtedly, you know too that there were a number of corrupt politicians who faced court charges. And mind you, they were, shockingly, party leaders to boot.   They have shamed themselves and their families, but more importantly, they had shamed their very own race and religion.    Just look at how certain corrupt party leader/s behave when they appear in court.

There is not even the slightest sign of remorse on their faces. Instead, they can afford to smile,  dressed in their best suits, and have their filthy hands kissed by ardent supporters - an act so disgusting that only a deranged person would be willing to do. What we are witnessing is supporters treating criminals as if they are decorated heroes.

I am a Malay, a Muslim, a veteran, and Malaysia is my only home that I love much. Likewise, the others, especially the non-Bumiputera citizens have all made this country their home as well, served the country the best they can and some with their lives and limbs too. Their loyalty to the country is no different from mine.  As a soldier, I have learnt to live aside harmoniously with my non-Bumiputera brothers at arms.

Hence for a leader of a political party to say that he cannot sit beside someone not from a party of his liking and race smacks of extreme racism. It manifests why non-Bumiputeras had looked upon differently over the past 60 years. The 'nons' as is now popularly coined, had been victimized by the political leaders who are bent on playing the race and religious cards just to remain in power. Period.

What they had done all these years to  my non-Bumiputera brothers and sisters is nothing short of being oppressive and cruel. My religion forbids me to ill-treat others of a different race and religion and worse, to disregard their plight.  Like me, countless others too have had enough of these corrupt and worthless politicians. This sense of being betrayed and exploited by such politicians for far too long is coming full circle, believe me.

So, let’s show these candidates whom you know to be corrupt regardless of party the exit door through the ballot box at the 16th General Election. We must be wiser and be proud citizens who finally ushered in a corrupt free and a people centric leaders and MP's to form the new government.

The power to elect a government of your choice is  in your hands. Make a difference out of a true and patriotic love for this nation. Hence I appeal to all young voters who are voting for the first time to vote wisely for candidates that are free of the scourge of corruption.

Oxfart's Infidelphobia, still looks like a goat

Cave Messiah : You cannot straighten a monkey's tail...

Just Common Sense : Looks like KJ becoming another Hadi2.0.

MS : When all else fails, scream “Islamophobia!!!” - the last trick of scoundrels. The fellow has about as much credibility as his friend, the felon, who helped himself liberally to the public purse.

Vulcan King : KJ the new CLOWN in town who was disgracefully booted out of UMNO now parading around with praises of UMNO. This is open bootlicking of the person whom he constantly was running down and now seeking for a safe seat for GE16. Maybe a state seat in NS to become the CM or for a safe seat in GE16 to become an MP. Good luck for this Opportunist for his clowning attempts.

Lets Maju With Bersama : KJ, you are turning out to be a cunning fox & playing the Race & Religion card from the word go. All those NMs who thought you were moderate have surely changed their mind. My appeal to all Malaysians of all Races.  

Infidelphobia

If we want a progressive Malaysia in future, we need to move away from Racism. At any cost do not vote for any race based parties anymore like UMNO, MCA, MIC, PAS, Bersatu & Wawasan. If we vote them we are voting in favour of Racism. 

We are promoting Racism. We are encouraging Racism. In that case, we shud not complain about Racism after the elections. Bersama is a good option, if you don’t have Bersama, give your vote to Muda, PSM. (If we don’t have a choice then only DAP or PKR. Not that they have done a great job, but just that they are Multiracial.) 

We have to start this journey somewhere and now is the time. Finally, how can a convicted X PM Najib be an agenda to be pardoned if UMNO wins the Johor elections. It’s quite absurd supporting corruption. They have no respect for the rule of law. Does KJ have any opinion on this ?

Knucklehead2 : KJ crying “Islamophobia” is laughable. He is in panic mode already! Wasn’t it UMNO who for decades slammed PAS as extremists, divisive, and dangerous? 

UMNO expelled PAS from BN in 1977, mocked their hudud obsession, and warned Malays about PAS splitting families and even cemeteries. Now suddenly PAS is harmless? And UMNO welcomes their votes in Johor? 

This is pure BN hypocrisy — twisting the narrative depending on which way the wind blows. Voters should remember: UMNO once demonised PAS, now they embrace them. That’s why ABU still stands — Anything But UMNO/BN.

Sealthedeal : There is nothing wrong in being islamaphobic especially where PAS is concerned with their objective of turning Malaysia into an Islamic state. Middle class and right thinking Malays don't want that either.

Veteran 1972 : Whatever happened to the Supremacy of the Constsitution in our Rukun Negara?
