PPBM seems to have made inroads among the young, but it will have to take on Umno in traditional Malay strongholds. Most importantly, it must manage its coalition partners.

The new general election will feature a localization of electoral politics unseen in Malaysian political history.

We are at a critical electoral juncture in Malaysia. An opposition alliance, united on the principles of reform and justice, stands on the cusp of unseating the entrenched…
The changing winds of Malaysian politics and the irony of history have now compelled Mahathir to link up with both his historical and more recent political foes to challenge UMNO’s dominance.

Once Mahathir becomes the Prime Minister (if Pakatan Harapan wins the coming general election or GE14) he is first going to appoint Mukhriz his deputy. Of course, there will be protests but that…
Democracy is a long-winding journey that will only thrive with persistence and active participation by all. Giving up the constitutional right to vote will disrupt the democratic process, like…
I’d rather go for a #Xundi movement because I am not going to spend a few hours lining up and then spoil my vote.

MUCH has been said about the #undirosak campaign for…

The seeming success of those pseudo (or crony) Malay capitalists wreak havoc on our community on many fronts. First, they become role models for the rest of our community. As such…

If PAS Selangor engages in three-corner contests with Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Harapan, the losers are going to be PKR, PPBM and PAN while DAP will benefit. Against the backdrop of three-corner…

I am not sure why the federal opposition especially those in Pribumi keeps insulting, heckling and abusing the #UndiRosak people?
I have read the abuses against Maryam Lee…

Pakatan Harapan Selangor is full of issues. Ever since the Parti Keadilan Rakyat-led Selangor won the general elections in 2008. Selangor is embroiled in…
PAS and Umno should stop being defensive and apologetic. Stop talking as if any cooperation between PAS and Umno is blasphemous. Explain the reason and benefits of the PAS-Umno cooperation. Explain…

So that is now the new game-plan. Mahathir will take over as the new Prime Minister, and it is supposed to be just interim Prime Minister, which means short-term only. He then appoints Mukhriz as…

I do not speak for #UndiRosak. I am not its leader. I don’t even think it has a leader. I speak for myself, and only myself.

Ammar Suflan, Malaysia Access
A FEW months ago, the thought of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad running as the prime minister candidate for Pakatan Harapan seemed outlandish at best. There was just no…

TMI should be the last to talk about morality. They have a budget of RM10 million a year for at least the next five years. Where is this money coming from? Even Ho Kay Tat, who Jahabar Sadiq used to…
