The political scandal in Sabah in which a businessman secretly filmed assemblymen discussing projects and monies is a game not to expose corruption but to grab power.

When UMNO was declared illegal in 1988 because of its election irregularities, the learned judge did not in his wisdom specify what to do with those lucrative assets held in secret by the party’s…
It’s no longer ‘breaking news’ that there is some form of understanding between PAS and PKR. By default, such an understanding makes Bersatu and DAP redundant.

There are a number of concerning signs

With the latest World Bank’s forecast warning that most economies will grow much slower in 2024 and 2025, Malaysia must be very cautious as…
Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad wants to sabotage Budget 2021. He wants to sabotage Budget 2021 not because it is no good. In fact, the budget is good and has taken into consideration the crash-landing…
I have read many “academic” articles about this so-called “Constitutional Crisis” written by so many “experts”, the one below being just one example. What they seem to have ignored is the fact that…
Then the Agong will have to agree for an emergency to be declared whereby Parliament would be suspended and Muhyiddin Yassin will become the caretaker Prime Minister until it is safe to call for…
That is why we are suddenly seeing the politicians falling over each other in making statements. They know if they defy the Rulers then Plan B is coming. And guess what Plan B is. Yes, an emergency…
On Saturday, Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah and Anwar Ibrahim met up with His Highness the Sultan of Perak to inform His Highness that Najib Tun Razak supports them for PM9 and DPM respectively. They were…
Hence, Muhyiddin will have to be sworn in as PM9 to succeed PM8. As the Malays would say, Pi Mai Pi Mai Tang Tu. That would give Muhyiddin even more legitimacy since after resigning as PM8 he gets…
An announcement will be made later tonight but Anwar Ibrahim has already pre-empted it in anticipation that an emergency will be declared. This emergency will mean the end of the plan to topple the…
Yes, Mahathir had already warned the country back in November 1999 that an unstable and weak government will put the lives of Malaysians at great risk. “May 13” is going to be nothing compared to…
But Pakatan Harapan people do not have the guts to do that. So, they attack Muhyiddin instead. The Malays call this “pukul anak sindir menantu.” You actually want to condemn the Agong but you…
Under normal conditions, a vote of no confidence means Parliament must be dissolved and, to protect democracy, fresh general elections must be held. Under the current “New Normal” conditions, a vote…
Anwar hopes that if he calls a donkey a stallion the Agong will believe that the donkey is a stallion. But only a donkey will believe a donkey is a stallion, and His Majesty is no donkey. So, all…
Even Mahathir knows a new coalition cannot work. If Umno moves over to Pakatan Harapan, DAP is out. If PAN is in then PAS is out. The Chinese will never support Umno and the Malays will never…
From the tone of the Istana Negara press statement, it seems to be saying that His Majesty need not do anything and will do nothing while Anwar has been told to drop the coup against Muhyiddin and…
Those Umno-BN-PN MPs who support Anwar to oust Muhyiddin are being called the Court-Cluster. These are people who Anwar has promised to help settle their court cases once he becomes PM9. These are…
Anwar is keeping the secret of who is in his new government and what kind of new government it is going to be until he meets the Agong. But one thing that is no secret is he needs both sides of the…
Another important point to note, if Anwar can topple Muhyiddin by getting MPs to cross over, that would mean Anwar can also be toppled the same way. Hence, while Mahathir was PM for 22 months and…
So, either way DAP is going to lose. DAP is going to lose the court case, and even if they win the court case they are going to lose in the court of public opinion, and if the by-elections are held,…
Under Malaysia’s system of Constitutional Monarchy, said His Majesty Tuanku Abdul Rahman, the Agong cannot sack the Prime Minister but the Prime Minister can sack the Agong.

PAS is foolish if they still want and hope for that one appointed state assemblymen/women post. Hidung tak mancung, pipi tersorong-sorong. Does PAS not have any maruah or dignity?
THE CORRIDORS OF…
DAP is rewriting history. What happened back in 2008 and 2009 is not as how DAP is spinning it. DAP wants to make it look like Anwar was the reason the PM resigned. It was not. The reason Pak Lah…
PAS was persuaded to not contest any seat in the recent Sabah state election and instead help campaign for GRS, which they did. For their contribution, Umno wants to offer PAS one appointed state…
Anwar is merely playing poker. He is hoping he can bluff his way to a win. Those 19 Umno MPs who are said to be supporting Anwar do not really support him to take over as PM9. As what Lokman Noor…
Over the next couple of days, Muhyiddin Yassin is either going to remain Prime Minister until GE15 -- while Anwar Ibrahim will be finished for good and his political career is going to end -- or…
If Umno wants to return as the big boss or big brother, then it will have to drop PAS and PPBM and go solo in GE15. Then it can call the shots without having to worry about the feelings of PAS and…
122 Ketua Bahagian Umno are unhappy that Lokman and Zahid support the DAP-backed Anwar. Even though PPBM is playing big brother to Umno, that is still not as bad as being under the domination of a…
Against the backdrop of this new development, many Umno supporters may leave the party to join PPBM or PAS. If this happens, this will make Umno and PAS the biggest Malay alliance since Merdeka, as…
