Those soldiers died and got injured because they were saving humanity! THEY ARE HEROS! If Iran ever gets nuclear bombs, EVERY CONTINENT WOULD BE OBLITERATED!! I thank God every day, TRUMP WON!!!! Because if Kalama had won, we would have been attacked by Iran 🇮🇷 and in 90 mins, the whole world is over. 

People don't realize how serious this is!!!! "When people show you who they are, believe them the first time." (Maya Angelou). Thank God that I moved from being a Democrats to being a republican Republicans have national treasures such as this senator God bless you. 

Israel has a right to be, God gave the land to the people and God created the first Jew. Father Abraham. God bless Israel and may there be peace in Jerusalem. Shalom. Iran's IRGC is a terrorist regime. 

They are bombing the Gulf state Sunnis.) They want to kill Jews (and Christians) They supplied missiles to Hezbollah, Hamas, and Yemen. They are working hard to enrich uranium to 60% for nuclear bombs.

Straight from the mouth of the great divider! They have been caught lying for Years Hell Obumas was the Biggest Fraud on America saying they were a Man and Woman when Both are Men. Obama is a dam Marxist to the core. Anti God. Anti American. 

Why don't they blame the men responsible for IRAN. Obama and Biden. What's completely insane is catching our corrupt Democratic Party Representatives in the act of committing Treason over and over again, and acting like they committed a traffic violation. It's time to call in the military and arrest every single Democratic Party Representative and Rino and send them to military tribunals.

The Fcuking Putrid PM of Australia sitting on the floor, humiliating Australians

“If Anthony Albanese walks away from Friday thinking it was merely bad luck … then he has learned precisely nothing. “This was a meeting that went exactly as intended.” Pauline was howled down when she made a comment re Lakemba. 

But she is Right again. and again, and again. Wake up Australia. Fools rarely ever learn. Clash of cultures. A history attests this will never end well.  How in hell did Labor and the Greens think that this would ever go any other way?

"You a communist? Huh? How'd you like it, man? Let her stay there.

Cuba has always been a mess under the communist regime. Maybe Ilhan can join her. Ilhan Omar was raised communist. Her father was a soviet backed and trained military higher up. 

The US beat communism, the USSR fell, the brutal Soviet backed regime in somalia she was privy to fell. And now she likely blames the US for that lifestyle evaporating and her family needing to flee from the people they brutalized. 

Even Scarface ( 1983 ) tried to warn us about communism. The best way to summarize a communist regime is the monologue by Tony Montana. "You a communist? Huh? How'd you like it, man? They tell you all the time what to do, what to think, what to feel. Do you wanna be like a sheep? Like all those other people? Baah!

Baah! You wanna work 8, 10 f***ing hours? You own nothing, you got nothing! Do you want a chivato [snitch] on every corner looking after you? Watching everything you do? Everything you say, man?"

Our Local Taliban and ISIS

Tamim, who is sought by authorities over the desecration of a sacred Hindu symbol, made the comparison while sarcastically expressing pity for Urimai secretary Satees Muniandy, but did not elaborate on his comment.

 In a post on Threads yesterday, Tamim said “Ingat semua, Urimai = LTTE”, and attached a screenshot of comments responding to Satees’ Hari Raya Aidilfitri greeting.

The screenshot showed one commenter rejecting Satees’ greeting, telling him to handle the issue of “illegal” temples while saying that Tamim and independent preacher Zamri Vinoth do not disturb legitimate temples.

Another commenter warned others to be careful as “Tamil wayang (theatre) is (on)”.

On Friday, Gerakan Rakyat Anti Haram (Garah) interim chief Haniff Khatri Abdulla said his group was painted in a bad light due to the actions of “immature and irresponsible third parties”.

However, he neither named the other parties involved nor addressed the actions of controversial individuals linked to the movement, such as Tamim.

Controversial activism

Tamim was supposed to be charged in Langkawi on Tuesday for stepping on a holy Hindu trident, or soolam, but prosecutors sought a postponement to allow them to bring him to court as he had fled the country.

On Thursday, Tamim agreed to surrender himself to the police on the condition that authorities demolish a list of allegedly “illegal” Hindu temples.

He made his statement on the Threads account for “Tanah Malaya”, an activist group he founded that actively collects and shares information about temples allegedly built without permission in Malaysia.

Dr Suresh Kumar : Malaysiakini, if you publish an article, especially on a coward rabble rouser like this guy, then be prepared to hear the views of your readers. People will naturally be inclined to defend their religion. 

I support press freedom like wise you must also uphold the freedom of expression of your readers. If NEWS matters to you, so should the VIEWS of your readers matter too. Do not treat your readers with disdain.

World Citizen : Agree with you Dr. Suresh. Malaysiakini will delete any slightest negative comment on characters like Tamin, Vinodh, Firdaus Wong and the like yet MK is so eager to report anything negative they say about the Indians in this country. 

Either MK owes these characters something or they are too chicken that the Malay establishment will be after them. MK today is a pathetic version of its past.

HangTuahPJ : After my subscription expires, I am not renewing my subscription with Malaysiakini. I hope someone sets up an alternative news portal and report like how it was during Premesh and Gan's time. 

Malaysiakini is now very Malay centric and very bipartisan against non Malays. it has become something like Harakah. High time all of us boycotted and cancelled our subs with Malaysiakini.

Dr Suresh Kumar : Madam. I renew my subscription for only 3 months at a time even though Malaysiakini encourages me to to renew it for life. Why do I renew for only 3 months? 

Because if and when I decide to boycott Malaysiakini, I will only lose a small amount of money. I have also learned from commentators here that Malaysiakini do ban commentators. To be honest, so far they have not banned me and if at all they ban me, I will say good bye to them for ever. 

Yes you are right the Malaysiakini today is a far shadow from what they were once under Premesh and Gan and I have on numerous occasions highlighted this. I have even asked who are the latest owners of Malaysiakini, but so far I have not got the answer as yet. Yesss, we need an alternative.

Iamnotarobot : Tamim Dahri kamu yang berkelakuan seperti Taliban.Merosakkan harta benda agama lain dan melarikan diri dari undang undang dan meletakkan permintaaan yang tak masuk akal.

Nostromo : Malaysiakini give this fella so much publicity Other media hardly mention him But every move he makes is frontpage news on Malaysiakini. 

Last time, Malaysiakini's favourite posterboy is Akmal Last year, everyday it was Akmal, Akmal, Akmal in Malaysiakini Now, its Tamim. Malaysiakini loves to platform him Now, its this Tamim loser that Malaysiakini hails as a "Activist" 

I think Malaysiakini is just relishing platforming this fella to attack Indians And if you defend Indians in the comments, Malaysiakini will delete you Yet, they platform this fella, every insult he makes about Indians is front page news on Malaysiakini If i say more, they will delete me

- Timothy Snyder, On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century

COMMENT | There is this old Buddhist shrine on the roadside in a sometimes quiet but often bustling suburb in Petaling Jaya. It has been there for decades. Nobody really knows who built it.

For decades in this racially diverse neighbourhood, the roadside shrine had endured. School children passed by it on their way to and from school. Adults drove past it on their way to work and on the drive back.

There was nothing extraordinary about it; it was just there, and if you noticed, it was well-tended, and there were the usual offerings, but nobody really paid attention to it.

MS : It should be clear to all by now that Madani is viciously malevolent - a trait erroneously attributed to PAS. Those who have known the antics of the mendacious Manipulator from when when he first emerged as a rabble rouser are really not surprised by the hate-filled pathology now spreading across the country. 

Those who allowed themselves to be scammed by the fraudster playing victim for over two decades, who naively mistook skimmed milk for cream and bleated endlessly about reforms and such should awaken to where the country is heading. 

The "lesser of two evils", it appears, has turned out to be far worse than whatever imagined horror it was compared with.

Produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, HBO’s The Pacific (2010) follows the intertwined journeys of three U.S. Marines—Robert Leckie, Eugene Sledge, and John Basilone—as they endure the unthinkable across the Pacific islands. 

From the humid jungles of Guadalcanal to the volcanic sands of Iwo Jima and the meat-grinder of Peleliu, this series captures the psychological toll of combat in a way few war movies ever have. The worst thing about Peleliu is that apparently, the brass knew that it was un-necessary to take it, but, having planned for it, they couldn't (wouldn't) cancel the invasion.

Bring back Church bells on Sunday mornings! Everywhere! Wouldn't it be beautiful to hear the church bells ring on Sundays again.....!Missing. It seems to me that lately a certain section of the Muslim faith have a clear problem with Britain. 

White Christians are arrested immediately and we just don't see Hindus making public displays of dominance, what a liar. As a visitor here; I don't want to see your Trafalgar Square like this. Not with men with the 'back' in the air. Like looking at me... What's this doing to do to your Tourism?

I think Pauline is brilliant. I wish we had such brave Women as her here in England. What a treasure! They want to use deceit to take over Australia. Don't let your mask slip, this is strategic. The downfall of Nations always starts from the inside. 

Absolutely right: islam will turn against Labor and cronies as soon as they don't get their way- Albo is delusional. Why haven't those that threaten to kill him at the mosque been jailed, seriously why, any white Australian would be behind bars! " 

Give us an inch...now give us a foot...now give us a yard....now give us a mile....now get out of OUR country'. Albanese says, "just a few". Even if it is true. It took only 19 men to bring down both towers on 9/11 and kill over 2,900 humans.

That line demands a straight answer. 

Who pays?

Because this is no longer just a football issue. It is a public money problem. The national team unit that oversees the Harimau Malaya senior team and the Under-23 squad was built with heavy state backing. It received a RM10 million government allocation and private money that lifted the package to RM15 million. 

The brief was clear: build a stronger Harimau Malaya, close the gap, do it fast. Instead, Malaysia now carries match forfeits, a six-point deduction, and an Asian Cup campaign that collapsed before it mattered.

Now we hear talk of lawyers. Again. 

A fight few believe we can win 

The AFC acted after a Fifa investigation found that documents used to support seven foreign-born players’ eligibility were invalid. Malaysia went to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). That process did not clear the case. Now comes the language of “review”. The talk of “legal review” may steady a dressing room before a big match. 

It signals that the fight is not over. But messaging cannot replace accountability, and it does not answer the harder question of whether another legal battle makes sense. Is Malaysia preparing another legal challenge on ground it has already failed to defend? 

Is this heading back to CAS under a different label? If it is, the public deserves clarity. Who funds it? What is the legal basis? What is the chance of success? There is a more immediate question. With key resignations at the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM), who is authorising any legal spend at all? 

If public funds are frozen and governance is in flux, where exactly do the mandate and the money come from? These are not abstract questions. The government froze further funding in November 2025 after the naturalisation scandal broke. 

That decision reflected a loss of confidence in how the system was run. To press on with legal manoeuvres before fixing the underlying failure risks turning a governance problem into a financial one. This is not resilience. It looks like refusal to face facts.  

The structure that refuses to answer 

The national team unit was meant to professionalise elite football and operate with clear lines, separate from the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM). Instead, the lines blurred. When results come, the structure claims credit. When problems hit, the coach speaks. Senior management fades from view. Friend now sits at the centre of that criticism. Detractors describe him as a “matchday CEO”. 

A leader seen around fixtures, not embedded in daily operations. By his own account, he is based largely in Canada and travels in for matches. That model does not fit a national programme under scrutiny. Friend has said he joined the naturalisation process late and did not drive its early phase. That claim raises more questions than it answers. If the chief executive was not responsible, who was? 

If he was, why did controls fail? This is not about semantics. It is about authority. A national setup cannot run on partial roles and blurred accountability. Not when eligibility rules sit at the heart of competition integrity. Today, the unit looks overstaffed, overpaid and under-explained. And with qualification hopes gone, its purpose at current cost is hard to justify. 

Reset means more than words 

Some argue Malaysia escaped lightly. They point to Timor-Leste, where sanctions were harsher, and question whether the AFC applied its rules evenly. Some go further. They suggest unequal treatment across associations. The AFC has explained the difference. Timing. Legal scope. Competition context. 

Take that at face value. Even then, leniency is not a defence. It is a warning. You do not answer a governance failure by testing the limits of punishment. You mend the system that failed. That starts with ending this one. The national team unit, in its current form, has lost its case for existence. 

It spent public-backed funds, failed a basic compliance test, and now risks drawing more resources into a legal fight with uncertain footing. It should not be tweaked. It should not be repackaged. It should be dismantled. Return control to the FAM with clear, published responsibility. Who verifies eligibility. Who signs off. Who answers when things go wrong. 

Redirect funding to youth development and long-term planning. Rebuild trust where it matters. And accept the leadership consequence. Friend cannot front a reboot while defending the structure that produced this failure. If the structure goes, its leadership must follow. One more point. 

If Malaysian football cannot carry out that retune on its own, the next step may not be voluntary. Fifa normalisation committees exist for situations like this: temporary bodies appointed by the world governing body of football to take over associations in crisis. 

They run operations, rewrite governance rules, and organise fresh elections. They also remove control from local hands. That route is disruptive. It is a public admission that self-governance has failed. The longer accountability stalls, the closer that outcome moves from theory to risk in Malaysia.

This was 9 years ago. The French government has done nothing. Cowards! Millions must go. Vote Restore Britain. Islam got away with it for decades, did not happen overnight, you allowed it. you let them in and allowed them to dictate how you live in your country. 

They tried that in japan, and is a no -go. Start shutting mosques down, you do not need a reason. China did. This is the most disgusting thing I have seen. A Muslim praying inside a Church while service is ongoing is the most disrespectful thing. 

That man was supposed to be double slapped out of the Church. Freedom of religion and the right to practice does not mean an absolute right to pray everywhere at any time. While it generally protects the right to pray privately or peacefully in public, it is subject to limitations necessary to protect public safety, order, health, or the rights of others. 

Limited: Freedom of religion does not authorize disturbing the peace, blocking traffic, obstructing entrances, or engaging in harassment. A Catholic church is a peace place of all places for Catholics. That is disturbing right there. They always claim to be born in the country and yet they will support their own faith and their homeland for any price. Then play the victim.

In this video, we break down 4 specific biblical prophecies about Iran (ancient Persia) that are unfolding before our eyes in 2026. After the death of Iran's Supreme Leader and the strikes on Iran's military and nuclear infrastructure, these ancient words have never felt more urgent. 

📖 PROPHECIES COVERED: 0:00 — Introduction: Why Iran Is in the Bible Prophecy 1: The Breaking of Elam's Bow (Jeremiah 49:35) Prophecy 2: The Scattering of Elam to All Nations (Jeremiah 49:36) Prophecy 3: God Sets His Throne in Elam (Jeremiah 49:38) Prophecy 4: Persia in the Great Alliance (Ezekiel 38:5) 

The ancient land of Elam — located in modern-day southwest Iran — was singled out by the prophet Jeremiah for a specific, devastating prophecy. Today, with Iran's military power shattered, millions of Iranians scattered across the globe, and the fastest-growing Christian movement on earth happening inside Iran, these prophecies read less like ancient history and more like tomorrow's newspaper. 

Whether you're studying Bible prophecy, end times prophecy, or simply trying to understand Iran's role in biblical history — this video connects the dots between Scripture and the headlines.

The Australian prime minister was called a “putrid dog” and a “genocide supporter”, referring to Israel’s killing of Palestinians following the Oct 7 2023 attack by Hamas terrorists.

— The Daily News (@DailyNewsJustIn) March 20, 2026

No adherents of any other religion, or even any “right-wing extremists,” committed any terror attacks during this period.  

Those who are confused as to how all this killing could take place during what is supposed to be a holy month should remember a key fact that the political and media establishment routinely ignores: because Ramadan is the month in which Muslims redouble their efforts to obey Allah, Ramadan is also quintessentially the month of jihad. That doesn’t just mean the month in which Muslims engage in a spiritual struggle to improve their fidelity to Allah’s commands. It means jihad violence.

This is because fighting against and killing infidels is commanded in the Qur’an (cf. 2:191. 4:89, 9:5, 9:289, 47:4, etc.). As a result, killing infidels during Ramadan is, for the killers, a holy and sacred act. A jihad group explained it back in 2012: "The month of Ramadan is a month of holy war and death for Allah. It is a month for fighting the enemies of Allah and Allah’s messenger, the Jews and their American facilitators."

This is not the prevailing view among non-Muslims in the West. Even President Donald Trump, in his 2026 Ramadan message, stated:

Every Ramadan stands as a reverent season of spiritual renewal, reflective meditation, and appreciation for God’s countless blessings. This sacred time for many Americans emphasizes prayer and fasting, strengthens familial and community ties, and affirms our shared values of compassion, charity, mercy, and humility.

Trump was right. Ramadan is indeed “a reverent season of spiritual renewal, reflective meditation, and appreciation for God’s countless blessings.” Yet for that very reason, given the contents of the Qur’an and Sunnah, Ramadan is also “is a month of holy war and death for Allah.”

During Ramadan, Muslims are exhorted to renew and deepen their devotion to Allah. Hence it is a time when they read commands such as this one, and many look for ways to put them into practice: “Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. 

Those who follow him are ruthless to unbelievers, and merciful to one another.” (48:29) The imperative during Ramadan is to grow more devout. The Muslim who applies himself diligently to the observance of Ramadan will thus become both more merciful to his fellow Muslims and more ruthless toward non-Muslims.

Shit Stirrer

The reaction was immediate. Police reports were lodged. Protests were held. Community leaders warned of rising tensions.

Acts involving religious symbols are never contained to the individual. They resonate across entire communities.

Unsubbed_wallace : Sad, but not surprising.... What do you expect? Fair treatment? This is Malaysia we're talking about....

BluePanther4725 : The authorities and Police turns a blind eye in cases where muslims insult other religions but will act swiftly when non-muslims are perceived to be insulting Islam. It''s a blatant double standards of the Law and injustice.

Two left hooks left the boxer staggering, and despite the trainer’s insistence that there was more fight left, the uppercut sent him crashing to the canvas - a knockout that would end his career.

If the Malaysian football saga was reported like a bout, the International Federation of Association Football (Fifa)’s two blows would have been enough to warrant a strategic retreat.

coolhand : Fed from cradle to the grave yet wanting more and more handouts , what more do they want from this Nation riddled with corruption top to bottom

YellowPanda5939 : They want all, but work.

Fair minded Senior Citizen : What price glory!!! Shame shame. Better to be last and honest than to be first and dishonest. Reveals the mentality of the leaders who should all be paraded with a cone on their heads.

Birdseye : FAM is not done yet. Its latest statement that their lawyers will be reviewing the AFC's decision to dock 6 points could well point to yet another appeal with no bullets. 

FAM has been stuck on stupid for months, leaning on the argument that the 7 seven players were granted citizenship by the NRD and therefore they are Malaysians. 

Never mind the rules governing citizenship were not followed because the Minister responsible has the power to grant citizenship however he likes.

Just a Malaysian : Every institution is tainted including sports...and the rots is eating up this country from defense to football. Selamat hari raya aidil fitri.

Unsubbed_wallace : Blatant lies are a shame… but to be accused of lying and cheating by an external third party and knowingly lie and trying to cover up the truth puts Malaysia in a very disgraceful and embarrassing position. 

The thing is, the world is laughing at Malaysia, yet there is no shame. Just more lies to cover up the first lie.

MS : Any way you look at it, this was a brazen state-sponsored scam approved at the very top of the Madani pyramid which included “facilitating the citizenship papers” for the seven foreign players and the issuance of the false birth certificates and other documents. And yes, the fraudsters are also the defenders of race, religion and royalty.

GoldenParrot4280 : As investigations seem to have gotten no where after a lengthy period of time, this should warrant a RCI or at least a Parliamentary Select Committee to investigate.

drngsc : What a shame for Malaysia. While thousands of deserving Malaysians cannot get citizenship while waiting and waiting and waiting, 7 wannabee footballers, unheard off globally except in some small corridors of power locally, are granted instant citizenship. What a shame? Malaysia Malu.

WhiteIguana0272 : Years ago people use to joke that Pudu Prison FC was the best football team. Nothing has changed.

This video explores the emotional moment behind the phone call that changed how history remembers Patton… and why Eisenhower’s reaction surprised even those closest to him. Through historical context, wartime archives, and cinematic storytelling, we reconstruct the atmosphere surrounding one of the most human moments between two legendary commanders of World War II. Because war is not only strategy and victories.

Labour should be supporting small business not destroying them shame on them. This lady says everything that's great about our once great country. Is this what's become of British indigenous people they struggle like hell to make ends meet and all the government do is let migrants in and give them everything. 

Remember Kier Starmer fought for migrants to get benefits he doesnt care about us he's been fought on an interview saying muslims are the future of this country how disgusting that?

As an old British veteran soldier, it's beyond belief how the governments have betrayed the people. When they pray in the streets they are saying that they now own those streets! As the 2 Muslim Birmingham lawyers behind the Maccabi Ban said - we are not here to take part we are here to take over - what other evidence do we need to fight back. 

Our laws are so stupid and weak, we are a laughing stock across the world!!! Those Mosques aren't NEEDED cos they've chosen to Pray in the open unlike the man who was silently praying outside an abortion clinic who was arrested... He bothered no one.

This Pastor exposes herself as a "fraud" Pastor. Well done Rep. Cloud! She is not a pastor. She only "identifies" as a pastor. Big difference. Giving someone else's money away is theft. Giving it for terrorism is evil. Scripture warns us against false teachers / prophets who misrepresent the Word so serve their own agenda. Many will come in my name. False teachers, Judgement starts at the pulpit! This is fraud!

Pictorial Images, Genocide

The Armenians, who had been established in Eastern Anatolia for 3,000 years, rapidly became the enemy. Between April 1915 and July 1916, more than one million of them were deported and massacred. This was the first genocide in a century that would see more than its fair share. 

In Turkey, discussion of the subject has always been refused and concealed, the use of the word “genocide” forbidden. However, it is from within Turkish society itself that voices are now calling to be heard. This documentary provides a mouthpiece for two key people that could not be further apart. 

Hasan Cemal, a Turk, and grandson of one of the perpetrators; and Fetiye Cetin, a Turkish Armenian and granddaughter of one of the victims. Together, they will lift the curtain on this bloody page in history, and speak of the urgent need for truth.

As an Assyrian from Turkey, I thank you for all the work that you do to shine a light on the horrors of Islam. I can only remember all the horror stories of my great-grandfather and all Christian people were subject to in the recent centuries, culminating in the genocides of 1915 and onward by the Ottoman Turks and their Kurdish allies. It's crazy that 30-50% of population eradicated and the Muslims taking our women and children, now they are counted in the tens of millions and we are but a pitiful fragment in diaspora.

Crocs in a feeding frenzy

He thought they were his mates. That look on his face is one of a man staring into the eyes of the rabid dog he's been feeding. How much damage will be done before they realize we are sealing our doom. 

I am an ex Muslim Iranian in Australia, just so hard to watch, unbelievable! Australia please wake up!!!!!! Showing their deep gratitude for being given sanctuary in Australa. Very threatening behaviour. 

As the former deputy leader of the Fraser Anning Conservative Party my advocacy is VOTE ONE NATION... the alternative is DANGER. Look at Britain, it is FINISHED. All non Muslims in Australia needs to wake up. Anthony Albanese wants to eat the cake and have it. 

He is fooling the Australian for his own benefit of staying in power. He is willing to please the Muslims at the expense of non Muslims.

Can somebody explain to me why people can do call to prayer in the centre of London but if a lady is silently praying on a street she’s arrested? Sikhs or Jews don't pray in the middle of the street, that prayer was a two fingered gesture to us from the Muslims. 

Islam is not like other religions - and we should not treat as being the same. We give them permission to build a mosque but then they want to pray in the streets. Seemingly the left has never studied the history of Islam. Maybe start with why the Christian Crusades started.

There’s a pastor from Australia that’s an X - muslim who explains the islamic plan perfectly, I am sending everyone that video and this video, its so important to know our enemies so we know what to pray for ! Blessings my friends. The young people do not really understand that they want to kill anyone who is not Muslim. They mean it, these are dangerous times. We fought Communism and we will fight this and win.

Composite photo of Peter John (left) and Solehah Yaacob.

Sarawak for Sarawakians founder Peter John Jaban said Rentap remains a powerful symbol of indigenous resistance and pride among the Iban people, and any attempt to reinterpret or appropriate his legacy through speculative narratives is irresponsible.​ 

“We in Sarawak are deeply concerned by recent statements claiming that Iban hero Rentap is part of a Malay narrative. “Such claims are not only factually wrong but also show a blatant disregard for the heritage and identity of the Iban people of Sarawak,” he said in a press statement today. 

He was commenting on International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) academician Prof Dr Solehah Yaacob’s recent claim that Rentap was a Malay and a descendant of the legendary Malaccan figure Hang Tuah. Peter John also questioned the academic basis of the claim, noting that Solehah specialises in Arabic language and linguistics rather than history, anthropology, or Borneo’s indigenous cultures. 

He warned that presenting unverified historical claims as fact could mislead the public, undermine scholarly standards, and disrespect communities whose histories are being misrepresented. According to him, extraordinary historical or civilisational claims must be supported by credible research, sound methodology, and peer-reviewed evidence. 

“Promoting fantastical or exaggerated claims in the public domain risks turning serious academic inquiry into ridicule and tarnishing the reputation of Malaysia’s universities,” he said. 

Peter John further urged the administration of the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) to review the conduct of Solehah Yaacob, including whether continued institutional support or funding remains appropriate, and suggested that she consider undergoing a professional mental health evaluation.

The sacking of felt abrupt, even harsh. Sarjit himself appeared blindsided. Yet those who followed the team closely in recent weeks would not have been entirely surprised. Pressure had been building. Results had slipped and performances lacked shape and conviction. 

The trip to Egypt for the World Cup qualifiers only sharpened the scrutiny. In elite sport, that mix rarely ends well for the man on the touchline. Still, the speed of the decision raises a harder question: was this accountability, or convenience? 

The easiest lever 

In sport, the coach is the most visible point of failure. He selects the players, sets the approach and answers to the media when things unravel. When results turn, he becomes the easiest lever to pull. But high-performance sport does not function in isolation. 

It depends on structure, planning and continuity. When failure repeats, the cause rarely sits with one individual. Sarjit’s dismissal follows a familiar script. Remove the coach, reset the narrative, buy time. It signals action. Whether it delivers change is another matter. 

A gamble, not the root cause 

The defeat to Pakistan in Ismailia quickly became the defining reference point. Malaysia led twice, yet lost control. With about five minutes left and trailing 4–3, they went into a power play, withdrawing goalkeeper Hafizuddin Othman in search of an equaliser. 

It was not an unusual call. Many top teams take that risk late in games: push for parity, accept the danger. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it does not. On this occasion, it failed. Pakistan found the empty net and closed out a 5–3 win. It was labelled a tactical error, and fairly so. 

But to reduce a campaign to a single decision risks missing the broader pattern. Malaysia has, too often, faltered in the closing stages of matches — surrendering control, losing composure and allowing games to drift away. The loss to Pakistan did not break new ground. It followed a script that has played out before. 

A system in search of itself 

Over the past decade, Malaysian hockey has repeatedly turned outward for solutions. Over 20 foreign coaches and specialists have passed through the system since 2015. Each arrived with a philosophy and a plan. What followed was constant adjustment rather than continuity. 

Frequent changes have made it difficult to build a clear identity. Technical direction has shifted too often. Players adapt, then adapt again, without the benefit of stability. The programme now feels less like a system and more like a work in progress. This is not about effort. It is about coherence. 

The cracks beneath 

The deeper issues are visible. The pathway from junior to senior level remains uneven. Talented players emerge, but the system does not always prepare them for the demands of international hockey. The goalkeeping situation in Egypt highlighted a lack of depth. When options narrow, decisions tighten. 

At the same time, senior players continue to carry the burden longer than expected, not because they must, but because replacements are not ready. These are structural problems. A single appointment will not fix them. MHC president Subahan Kamal has urged perspective, pointing to Malaysia’s qualification for a fourth consecutive World Cup. 

That achievement deserves recognition. But expectations in Malaysian hockey are not arbitrary. They are shaped by history. This is a programme that once measured itself against the world’s best, not merely against qualification thresholds. When progress stalls and qualification comes through rankings rather than results, satisfaction becomes restrained. 

The cycle 

Sarjit’s removal may ease immediate pressure. A new voice, in the form of South African Brendon Carolan, offers a reset of sorts. There will be fresh ideas and renewed energy, perhaps even short-term gains. But unless the structure changes, the outcome will not. 

Carolan will inherit the same gaps, the same inconsistencies and the same expectations. In time, results will again define perception. When they fall short, the focus will return to the bench. 

Beyond the quick fix 

Malaysian hockey does not lack tradition, nor does it lack commitment. It does not lack talent either. What it lacks is alignment — from development to the senior team. Rebuilding that alignment takes time. It requires stable coaching frameworks, stronger pathways and regular exposure to top-level competition. It also demands patience, something quick fixes rarely allow. Sarjit’s departure closes a chapter.

These unanswered questions now define the game, far beyond points stripped or matches overturned. Football has delivered its verdict. Matches were forfeited. Six points vanished from Malaysia’s 2027 Asian Cup qualifying bid. Yet the foundation that allowed the irregularities — the citizenship approvals, the national credentials — remains unexamined.

The stakes go beyond the pitch

Eligibility in domestic and continental competitions depends on two pillars: national identity cards for local registration and passports for international clearance. Both were issued based on records that Fifa and the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) have declared forged. If the credentials that underpinned player eligibility were compromised, why do the IDs and passports remain valid?

No authority has confirmed whether these files are being reviewed, whether they could be rescinded, or whether football authorities intend to treat them as separate from the Fifa and CAS findings. Silence here is not neutral. It shapes perception. It leaves a lingering question: have the consequences stopped where they are most visible while the root of the problem remains unaffected?

Where accountability stops short

The Football Association of Malaysia processed the players, validated their eligibility, and submitted the now-discredited records. These endorsements moved through formal channels, carrying the weight of institutional authority. Checks failed. Approvals passed. And yet, the repercussions have landed primarily on matches, points, and the players themselves.

The seven sanctioned athletes insist they were unaware of wrongdoing. Perhaps that is true but at this level, intent does not erase outcome. Responsibility does not belong in the dressing room. It sits with those who built the process, approved the certifications, and let the system move forward without resolving the critical questions that now define the scandal.

At its core, this is no longer a sporting failure. It is a failure of oversight. Those who betrayed the badge did so not in a single moment but through a chain of decisions — and that chain remains unbroken. 

The silence that defines the story

While British and American tactics relied on heavy artillery and daylight assaults, these Australians—known as the "Rats of Tobruk"—fought a different kind of war. They didn't just defend their lines; they turned the desert night into a hunting ground. 

In this video, we uncover the untold story of why German generals were terrified of Australian night raids. Discover the psychological warfare tactics that broke the spirit of elite Panzer divisions, from the terrifying "silent patrols" to the bizarre "Ghost Mark" left on sleeping enemy officers. 

This is the true story of how a ragtag garrison of volunteers humiliated the Third Reich’s best soldiers.
